Chapter 225: A Little Bit of Brains, But Not Much

“So? What exactly is your mission?” Seeing that the other party wasn’t speaking, Li Li urged.

With so many personal tasks, he didn’t have time to dawdle with the other party. If the other party couldn’t do it, he would contact the next one.

“Can you let me think about it? I’ll contact you later.” The somewhat depressed player said. How could a non-human player be so shrewd?

How could he carry out his plan?

“Okay, remember to be quick. This cat’s time is limited. If you miss it, it’s your loss.” Li Li said and hung up the phone.

There were so many Network tasks, he wouldn’t hang himself from one tree. Moreover, the other party didn’t offer much for the task.

He was now a fourth-tier combat power, so the appearance fee should be at least 60,000. And this was just the minimum, not including accommodation, food, and travel.

“I’m the one posting the task, why does it feel like I’m begging?” Listening to the call disconnect, the player scratched his head.

Why did those damn players have to be so competitive? Now they had inflated the market price, causing everyone to bleed.

“This guy is so arrogant, he should have some strength. Let’s see if any other players will take it.” After grumbling, the player continued to wait.

After all, he could trick one if he could. His Network coins weren’t blown in by the wind.

“Great King, Great King.”

“Those idiots are here.”

Li Li had just exited the chat when the yellow weasel jumped down from the broken wall.

“Really? Very good, count their numbers. If they’re all here, this cat will send them directly to reincarnation.” Li Li said upon hearing this.

“Yes, Great King.” The weasel replied and began counting.

“Over there, the yellow weasel is over there.”

“Yes, I see it.”

Just as the weasel stood up, the ghosts opposite also saw him. They immediately rushed over.

“Great King, there are two ghosts missing.” The weasel said after counting.

“Really? It seems we can’t do it right away, we have to wait.” Li Li was speechless. Did these guys not keep time even as ghosts?

They agreed on eight o’clock, but they were late.

“Yes, Great King.” The weasel nodded and looked at the gathering ghosts. “I’ll go over and fool them first.”

“Yes, go ahead. Don’t let them find out.” Li Li waved his paw, and the weasel walked towards the ghosts. “I say, can you guys be on time? Why are you late? We agreed on eight o’clock, but you’re actually late.”

“It’s not our fault, we’re not the ones who are late. It’s the other guys who haven’t arrived.”

“Yeah, if you want to blame someone, blame those two idiots. Why blame us for nothing?” The ghosts said, not wanting to take the blame for the two who hadn’t arrived.

“I know, but their lateness is wasting our time.” The weasel explained and sat down, showing no intention of moving.

Seeing this, the other ghosts couldn’t help but feel anxious. “Aren’t we leaving? It’s getting late.”

“Yeah, the two idiots aren’t coming. It’s their loss. Why should we wait for them?”

“That’s right, weasel. Let’s just go, don’t wait for them.”

“Since we promised, we definitely need to wait for them. You guys are not keeping your word, I can’t be like you, can I?” Despite the ghosts’ urging, the weasel didn’t get up.

“We can’t wait forever.”

“Yeah, if those three don’t come, are we going to wait forever?”

“That’s right, we know you keep your word. But there’s no need to be so rigid.” The ghosts all said.

“Okay, then I’ll ask the Great King’s opinion.” The weasel said and walked towards Li Li.

“Great King? When did the weasel get a Great King?”

“Yeah, and it’s a cat. Isn’t he afraid of being eaten?” The ghosts discussed, their eyes flickering with strange light.

“Great King, these guys can’t wait any longer.” Ignoring the ghosts’ discussion, the weasel said with a gloating expression.

He had seen people rushing to pick up money, but he had never seen people rushing to their deaths.

“I know, then take them first.” Li Li nodded and got up to walk towards the ghosts.

Seeing this, the ghosts straightened up one by one. Although they didn’t know why this chubby-looking tabby cat had become the boss of the weasel, it was always better to be careful.

“Since you can’t wait any longer, let’s begin. Get into my mouth, and I’ll take you to the hospital.” Li Li said as he was being sized up.

“Huh? Get into your mouth? What if you eat us all?”

“Yeah, no way, we’re not going in.” The ghosts immediately shook their heads and refused. They were ghosts, not fools. How could they get into someone’s mouth?

“There are so many of you ghosts, and I’m just one monster. Who will die if you get into my mouth? Think about it carefully.”

“Could I possibly swallow you all? Then I’d be looking for death. Do you think I want to do this? There are many cultivators in the city now. If you don’t get into my mouth, it’s easy for them to find you.” Li Li said to the ghosts who were shaking their heads like helicopters.

These guys still had some brains, just not much.

“We won’t be discovered if we get into your mouth?”

“Yeah, we’re not well-read, don’t lie to us.” The ghosts said one after another.

If they got into the other party’s mouth, with their numbers, they could indeed kill the other party before they were swallowed.

Thinking about it this way, the plan did have its merits.

But if they got into the other party’s mouth, could they really avoid the cultivators’ perception?

“Do I need to lie to you? I ask you, I’m standing in front of you, do you sense that I’m a monster?” Li Li said to the ghosts.

Hearing this, the ghosts began to scrutinize Li Li. One by one, they showed surprise.

“Eh! If you hadn’t said anything, we wouldn’t have noticed any demonic aura on you.”

“Yeah, what kind of method is this, it’s amazing.”

“Indeed, it seems that getting into your mouth can indeed avoid the cultivators’ perception.”

“So, are you guys getting in or not? If not, then walk in by yourselves. But if you’re discovered before you get there, we’re not responsible.” Li Li continued.

The ghosts started to move, shrinking into balls of light and drilling into Li Li’s mouth one by one.

“Look what you’re saying, brother, of course we’re getting in.”

“Yeah, brother has this kind of method, of course we won’t have any objections.”

With a way to shield themselves from cultivators, they would be fools not to use it.

“Very good, very good.” Smelling the delicious scent of the ghosts, Li Li was very satisfied.

It proved that these guys had a little bit of brains, but not much. No matter how he fooled them, they fell for it.

“Okay, we’re all in. We can set off.”

“That’s right, let’s not delay any longer, let’s go.” The ghosts crowded in Li Li’s mouth urged, eager to go to the city to eat.

“Okay, I’ll send you on your way.” Li Li nodded with a smile.

“What do you mean by ‘on your way’? Don’t say it so harshly.”

“That’s right, the words ‘on your way’ are not auspicious.” The ghosts said one after another. Did this monster know what ‘on your way’ meant? He was just talking nonsense.

“Really? I think it’s quite appropriate. You really should be on your way.” Li Li said, and a terrifying suction force came from his stomach.

Before the ghosts crowded in Li Li’s mouth could react, they were sucked in one after another.

Only at this moment did they realize they had been tricked, and they cursed angrily.

“Ah~”

“You treacherous monster, you tricked us.”

“D*mn it, let us out, or you’ll be stuffed to death if you eat us.”

“That’s right, we’re ghosts. Even if you’re a monster, you won’t feel good after eating us.”

“I don’t think so.” Li Li said lightly and closed his mouth. Instantly, all the ghosts’ voices disappeared.

“Congratulations, Great King, your brilliant plan has succeeded.” The yellow weasel immediately flattered upon seeing this.

“This cat’s plan was very simple, but it worked because these guys are stupid.” Li Li licked his lips and looked into the distance. “Two idiots are coming soon, be careful not to expose yourself.”

These two guys were good at timing, coming only now. But it wasn’t a big problem, as long as they came.

“Yes, Great King.” The weasel replied, looking at the two dark figures walking towards them.

“Strange, didn’t they say we were supposed to meet here? I don’t see any ghosts.” The drenched water ghost said in confusion.

“I don’t know, maybe they’ve already left. Who told you to dawdle?” The hanging ghost said with an ashen face.

They had agreed on eight o’clock, but the other party refused to come out of the water. Now the other ghosts were gone, who could they blame?
