Chapter 263: Chapter 177 Scammer (Part 1) (Thanks to Bookworm Meng Foodie’s Boss for the reward!)

Qin Huai objectively described Gong Liang’s personality to Luo Jun and Chen Huihong.

When Qin Huai wants to be objective, he can be very objective, only narrating what someone did, what was said, without offering any personal commentary, avoiding redundant embellishments, or adding any fictitious sections.

Chen Huihong was listening while cracking sunflower seeds outside the kitchen. Fearing Qin Huai might get a dry mouth from talking too much, she brought his blueberry yogurt in for him, so he could have some while keeping an eye on the Fire Control.

Qin Huai stated that if Chen Huihong hadn’t been standing at the kitchen door, he could have gone out to eat.

As long as you remember the timing for Steamed Fruit and Crab Dumplings, there’s really no need to keep watch over the Fire Control.

It wasn’t until Chen Huihong finished eating one Steamed Fruit and two Crab Dumplings and skillfully packed up the leftovers in a storage box from the kitchen that Qin Huai finally finished his story.

Qin Huai started eating Chen Huihong’s yogurt, and honestly, the blueberry yogurt Zhang Shumei prepared today was probably made with her own blueberry jam and yogurt, with quite a bit of sugar added; it was quite tasty.

"Sister Hong, Mr. Luo, can you guess what kind of spirit Gong Liang is?" Qin Huai asked.

Still packing the flaky pastry, Chen Huihong blurted out without thinking, "So articulate and good at talking, he must be a Scammer."

"Scammer?" Qin Huai pulled out his phone to look it up.

In the southwest wilderness lives the Scammer. It looks like a rabbit, with a human face, and can speak. It often deceives people, saying east when it means west, speaking evil while meaning good.

Simply put, it’s a creature with a rabbit’s head and a human body, always eloquent, often lying and tricking people.

Qin Huai focused on its origin.

"The Classic of Strange and Divine."

This isn’t part of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas."

"The Scammer is a spirit from ’The Classic of Strange and Divine,’ not the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas.’" Qin Huai said, looking at his phone.

Chen Huihong showed a puzzled expression, counted the flaky pastry portions, and felt she distributed them very well and fairly, with eight for her and two for Luo Jun.

Luo Jun is of a certain age; eating too many flaky pastries is not only bad for his stomach but also for his teeth. She’s young, can still eat them, and her brother also needs some.

Bringing the flaky pastry home, Chen Huihong had to divide one-third for Chen Yingjun.

"What is ’The Classic of Strange and Divine’? Isn’t there a Scammer in ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’? But I’ve seen one. Back when I was a tree in the mountains, I saw it, speaking in layers. It exchanged flowers with me for many of my leaves and even broke one of my branches. The flowers it gave were nice, though."

"But later, I found out the flowers it gave me were just picked randomly from the front mountain, just taking advantage of the fact I couldn’t move at the time." Chen Huihong recounted her experience.

"We say we are spirits from the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’ because coincidentally, there’s a book called ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’ in the human world. The vast world is full of wonders; the spirits recorded in the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’ might not exist in our place, and those in our place might not be recorded in the ’Classic of Mountains and Seas’." Luo Jun explained, "Chen Huihong probably didn’t say wrong; Gong Liang is indeed a Scammer."

"I’ve seen one before as well. Scammers have no special abilities; they are just very eloquent, capable of lying, and good at doing business. When undergoing tribulation, as long as they don’t have the guts to swindle money from nobles and get beaten to death by them, they generally won’t fail."

Qin Huai:?

So, does Luo Jun mean Gong Liang, in his first life, swindled money from nobles and got beaten to death? Is a Scammer this bold?

No wonder he became the sales department head.

"I have another question. Gong Liang obviously isn’t on his first life. Why did I get his memory? Normally, shouldn’t I get his dreams?" Qin Huai asked again.

With his memory being extracted, Luo Jun rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I don’t have a system. I’m just a Bi fang, what do I know? What’s the use of asking me? If you’re capable, ask your system. Don’t your system protagonists all have communication with the system, like ’Hello, host’ and so on."

Qin Huai said those are their system protagonists; his lousy game system has no customer service.

Chen Huihong attempted a calm analysis: "Could it be because he’s about to succeed in his tribulation in this life, and his obsession is almost resolved, so there’s no need to watch the first life’s memory."

"Just watching this life’s is enough."

"Or maybe your system..."

The last sentence Chen Huihong said too softly for Qin Huai to catch entirely. Just as he was about to turn his head to ask what she said at the end, Luo Jun impatiently spoke up.

"What’s the point of guessing? Can guessing lead to any conclusions? Just look directly. Weren’t you very straightforward when looking at my memory? Why are you so hesitant with others’ memories."

Qin Huai:...

Alright, Luo Jun still wasn’t happy that Qin Huai saw a full three segments of his memory, witnessing his entire transition from Bi fang to silly bird.

Since Luo Jun urged him, Qin Huai didn’t ask further. Luo Jun wasn’t wrong; asking anyone other than the main subject before watching a memory wouldn’t yield much.

Qin Huai clicked [Gong Liang’s memory] and chose yes.

[Memory loading--]

"There’s a backlog of goods again this year, with cotton and silk payments unsettled. Director Luo of the Second Silk Factory has come to our factory three times already to demand payment. Mr. Chen, I, Mr. Li, also have my dignity. Can your sales department meet this quarter’s target? We’ve tried surrounding clothing factories; what about ones in other provinces? If this goes on, this month’s salary can’t be paid again. By then, you might as well stop being head of the sales department, and I can stop being the deputy director."

Upon entering the memory, Qin Huai immediately saw some middle-aged men with worried looks in several offices.
