Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 343 Wang Cheng: Son, actually I'm your cheat code!

Wang Cheng was overjoyed upon seeing it.

"Little thief, your name is Fuyao, right?"

"This past year has been so agonizing for me, but you've finally taken the bait."

From the moment the other party casually and bewilderedly wrote down the first question, he could tell that the other party was clearly confused and didn't know what they had received, and was definitely not the original owner of the Mountain Spirit Coins.

The only possible owner is the other half of the mountain spirit's money-making [Five Sacred Mountains Coin].

Wang Cheng clearly remembered that the Mountain Spirit Coin he found had two sides.

After Su Hui awakened, he inexplicably only had half of the [Four Seas Coins] left. The [Five Sacred Mountains Coins] had disappeared without a trace, and he had been trying to find them but had no clues.

The questions written at the end clearly indicate that he wanted to get something for nothing. If the other party was a fool who was willing to expose himself, he would make a huge profit.

With the combined influence of Zhenhaiwei, Donghai Kingdom, and Shanhai Society, who have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, they can trace their targets regardless of whether they are located in China or overseas.

Only now did he realize that a crucial medium had been missing from the communication between the "Four Seas Coin" and the "Five Mountains Coin".

Because of this omission, he wrote on the "branch," which was equivalent to having edited it, but he didn't click send, so it was never sent.

It wasn't until he personally came into contact with the crack that connected the inside and outside of the wall and obtained a wisp of wandering Dao Qi that he completed the crucial prerequisite.

The other party saw my message.

"It is reasonable to speculate that the other party is actually not in China or overseas at all, but most likely outside the Great Firewall!"

Moreover, the other side had access to the border wall much earlier than I did, thus obtaining the necessary preconditions for communication.

Once Wang Cheng understood this, his gaze sharpened, and he subconsciously regarded the other party as a scumbag immortal who needed to be resolutely eliminated, or a potential scumbag immortal!
After all, he simply couldn't imagine what kind of ordinary people would live in that place outside the wall, the source of evil spirits and scum of immortality.

He read the question the other person asked him about his name again.

Wang Cheng pondered for a moment and realized that the other party, whether intentionally or unintentionally, only gave the name "Fuyao," a title without a surname, and it was even unclear whether it was a given name, Taoist name, or official title.

The information available is extremely limited; it's impossible to even tell whether the other person is male or female.

So he decided to play along and tell a huge lie to impress him.

So, after gathering my emotions, I picked up my pen and wrote:
"I have many names."

My formal name is Duobao. I also have three elegant nicknames, which represent my origins; let me tell you about them in detail.

He glanced at the jars of gold ingots, silver, and five-zhu coins in his personal treasury, and then continued writing:
"I once lived in Dianchi County, named after Lishui. I was promoted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and bestowed with a qilin robe. I was treated with the respect due to a high-ranking official. You may call me Lord Qilin."

The most direct way to elevate one's status is to find a powerful figure to endorse you.

If a big shot says you can do it, then you can, even if you can't.

I didn't expect the person on the other end to be so knowledgeable.

Immediately write in the "Received" column:
"Lishui, where Dianchi County is located, is a place rich in gold dust, right? Emperor Wu once cast gold ingots, decorated with unicorn patterns on the four corners, named 'Linzhi Gold,' to bestow upon meritorious officials."

I was so surprised to learn of your high status. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner.

Wang Cheng raised an eyebrow, surprised that someone from outside the walls was so familiar with the history of the Han Dynasty.

He glanced again at the jar of horseshoe-shaped silver beside him and continued writing:
"I also come from Jianwei County of Yelang Kingdom, and take Zhuti Mountain as my name. I was bestowed a horse hoof print by Emperor Wu of Han, so I can also be called the Horse Hoof Marquis."

Immediately, the other party wrote:

“Zhuti Mountain in Jianwei County is a famous silver mine. The silver ingots cast from Zhuti Mountain are also called Zhuti silver. They are often cast in the shape of horseshoes rather than the common silver cakes.”

Mr. Duobao, you are indeed of noble birth.

Wang Cheng glanced at the jar of Wuzhu copper coins one last time and continued writing:

"My ancestors also lived under the jurisdiction of the coin minting office in Yuyang County. Emperor Wu bestowed upon my clan a garment with a square inner surface and a round outer surface, hence the name Qingzhuzi."

The other party's praise was evident in every word:
"Incredible, truly incredible."

"Even before Wang Mang's usurpation of the throne, Yuyang County was a place where Wuzhu coins were widely minted. You are not only of noble status, but also from a prominent family." Every time Wang Cheng introduced himself, the other party would automatically fill in the details of his background.

Like those "genealogists" who compile family genealogies, they clearly trace a person's origins and background.

Because of this profound knowledge, a first impression of Wang Cheng naturally took root in my mind.

[Duobao] is indeed a monster!
He is also a wealthy monster born from the essence of gold, silver, and copper coins.

Just by listening to his titles such as Duobao, Qilin Jun, Ma Ti Hou, and Qing Zhu Zi, one can tell what an incredibly wealthy man he was.

Adhering to the principle of "respecting the clothes first, then the person," the other party's attitude became much more respectful in their words.

Wang Cheng imagined the other person writing these words with utmost respect, and secretly chuckled to himself.

"As long as you love money and your baby, that's fine."

"Watch how I fool you to death."

Picking up the pen, I continued writing:

"Have you already discovered the wonders of my [Five Sacred Mountains Treasure]?"

The other party hesitated for a moment.

Clearly, like Wang Cheng, this treasure was also his biggest secret, but when he thought that Duobao was the spirit that came with the Five Sacred Mountains Coins, he immediately had fewer concerns.

Therefore, I readily admit:

“Mr. Duobao, now that you mention it, it’s true.”

Every time I kill a powerful enemy, I can obtain half of the opponent's pure blood and qi out of thin air. The greater the difference in realm between me and the opponent, the thicker the blood and qi becomes, which is better than the best tonic.

When you're lucky, you can even steal the martial arts techniques from your opponent.

After the battle, there's no need to clean up the battlefield; it can automatically pick up all the valuables on the enemy's body, and even the ownerless valuables left in the ground along the way.

So this is all thanks to you!

Upon reading this passage, Wang Cheng suddenly understood the purpose of the Mountain Spirit Coins, recognizing their dual uses.

The "Sihai Tongbao" represents "legitimate wealth" from fair trade. The kind of risk-free trading where you kill someone and win a random prize is secondary. It is mainly used for hoarding rare goods and normal transactions.

The "Five Sacred Mountains Coin" represents "windfall" or "unexpected wealth" obtained through shady means. It specializes in acquiring wealth through unearned transactions with no initial investment, and its effects are passive rather than active.

I couldn't help but feel so envious that tears streamed down my face.

He had long known that those who truly make a fortune always do so through windfall gains!

Earned income is the result of a person's hard work and honest wealth, earned through sweat and toil. However, the returns are often less than the effort put in.

To become a wealthy tycoon, one's destiny must be characterized by indirect wealth, output (eating god/injury officer), and seven killings.

Wealth is a reward for a person's understanding, not a compensation for their hard work!
To get rich overnight like him, you don't need to work hard and accumulate wealth little by little like he did. If you're lucky, you can become rich overnight.

An idea came to mind, and forcibly suppressing the envy in his heart, he pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"That's right, I am actually the golden finger that helps you cultivate and grow, crushing all the geniuses in the world!"
However, are you satisfied with the current performance of the Five Sacred Mountains Coin? Would you like to make it stronger and more powerful?
I am trapped here. My treasury is filled with countless riches and supernatural powers, yet I cannot access them.

I need more external funds, gold, silver, and jewelry to help me get out of this predicament.

"As long as you offer daily tributes of wealth, once I lift the seal, millions in gold, tens of millions in silver, billions in copper coins, and countless rare treasures and divine scrolls will all be yours."

The other party was clearly very interested.

"really?"

Wang Cheng spoke with righteous indignation:

"You have no joke!"
