Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 41 Don't ask, the answer is always the same: good people are always blessed.
On the table.

My aunt and mom are scanning a QR code to order food.

Chen Baiyu, however, was still pondering a question.

This title is awarded after completing a portion of the quest "The Anchor of Wealth," and it increases trust.

It's actually quite interesting.

Previously, he only cared about the Golden Rule effect that he would get after the final stage of the mission, thinking that it was a divine skill involving fate and cause and effect.

But on his way to the Quanjude branch by subway, after repeatedly studying his new task, he suddenly realized:
This cumulative effect, which can increase someone's trust level by 10% out of thin air, might not be as useless as he had initially thought.

It could even be said that it is not useless at all.

In a sense, although the direct effect may not be as obvious as the intimidation skill, it may be much more exaggerated than the intimidation skill obtained before in some aspects.

This kind of skill, which has no cooldown, no limit on the number of participants, and may even have no distance requirement, and increases trust out of thin air, is by no means a simple skill.

According to the description of the title's effect, increasing trust only requires "conducting" a transaction with the currency holder, and it is not even necessary to complete the transaction.

The criteria for this judgment are too vague and simplistic.

Would such a transaction be valid if it were completed online instead of in-person?

If there is only a one-way flow of money that is not received, will this trust still be effective?
Besides.

Chen Baiyu was very curious about the trust bonus effect brought by the title of "Wealth Apprentice".

What kind of effect can 10% achieve?
Perhaps it's about reducing the other person's suspicion and increasing their open and honest distance?

Does it feel like you have a built-in "good guy card," giving your words an added boost of credibility?

Can we reach a point where people can trust us at a certain level? If not, can we build up trust in the future?
Chen Baiyu really wanted to figure these things out.

He realized that the passive effect of this title could be quite useful if used properly. It was no exaggeration to say that it was equivalent to half a brainwashing technique, or even half an affinity aura.

Compared to simply using the passive effect of this title to shine in the business world and become a business tycoon, starting from scratch and accumulating a trillion-dollar empire in a short period of time, he was more curious about other uses of this skill.

The more I think about it, the more excited I get.

Compared to the initial surprise and emotional fluctuations he felt when he first used the extraordinary ability "The Lingering Power of the Lost Monkey King," he was now even more excited.

Because what he is now facing is a more interesting and powerful supernatural ability with no limit on the number of uses.

But at this moment...

He needs a test subject to figure out some of the speculations about the passive effects of the title.

Thinking about this, he thought of Wang Daji.

This is a person's name; it's the tattooed man he pinned to the ground and beat up at the Beijing Zoo.

When the police tried to mediate between the two, he noted down the man's basic information and even added him on WeChat.

Chen Baiyu hasn't deleted it yet.

I've also seen that unemployed man post quite a few updates on his WeChat Moments during this period.

The reason it wasn't deleted.

The main reason was that he had unleashed the "lingering power of the Lost Monkey King" on this person, and out of a cautious attitude, he thought he could observe this person's social media posts to determine if there were any other lingering effects.

Unexpectedly, another job opportunity has been presented to this unemployed man.

This is not called catching a sheep to fleece.

This is called "practice makes perfect".

Although I don't plan to ask if he's willing, I think Wang Daji probably won't refuse to be a test subject. As for your question about whether there are any risks involved...

Chen Baiyu could only say, "Don't ask."

The answer is simple: good people are always blessed! The name Wang Daji sounds like it has great potential.

He logged into a secondary account almost without hesitation, searched for Wang Daji's account, and added it.

Soon.

The other party agreed. Chen Baiyu immediately opened the chat interface with Wang Daji and transferred one cent to try to start the experiment.

It happened almost instantly after the transfer was completed.

Despite the lack of system notifications, and despite being separated by a mobile phone screen and thousands of miles away.

But there was a subtle feeling in the darkness, as if an invisible thread was extending from him into the distance, probably connecting him and Wang Daji.

Chen Baiyu hovered her fingertip over the screen and typed a meaningless opening line: 【Hello, wrong person, sorry】

Wang Daji replied quickly, with a hint of impatience: 【? You added the wrong person and still transferred money?】

Chen Baiyu understood.

The other party noticed the penny, but despite their scumbag nature, they didn't immediately claim it, then blocked and deleted him. This is probably due to the influence of trust.

He continued, making up an excuse: "[I forwarded it to the wrong person. I meant to send it to a friend, but I clicked it by accident. By the way, it seems like you're always looking for work on your WeChat Moments?]"

Wang Daji's WeChat Moments did indeed post "seeking job introductions" every few days, so Chen Baiyu's words hit the nail on the head.

However, most normal people would suspect that the topic shift was abrupt and had an obvious purpose.

Wang Daji didn't say anything, only replying: "Yeah, you have connections?"

Chen Baiyu nodded inwardly and continued to offer bait, trying to sound as natural as possible: "I know a boss who's hiring a night warehouse guard. No work, just sit and play on your phone. Two hundred a night, but the location is a bit out of the way, in the suburbs."

It's possible that night guards don't have to do any work.

However, the price of 200 yuan per night is too high for "not having to work", and most normal people would suspect that there is a scam.

But Wang Daji only replied: 【Where in the suburbs? What exactly do you want to do?】

The points of doubt were quite conventional, and he didn't think of it as a "scam." That 10% level of trust clearly made him subconsciously lower his guard.

Chen Baiyu decided to push the limits and test the limits of the effect: [It's just checking an empty warehouse. Apparently, it used to be a research institute. There might be some strange noises at night. The boss said the bravest people get priority.]

An empty warehouse is generally not looked after, and if it used to be a research institute, it is even less likely to be converted into a warehouse, since the structure and space requirements of the two are completely different when they were built.

Logically speaking, anyone with a modicum of sense, considering the previous conversation, would sense something was amiss and would likely have already backed down by now.

Wang Daji remained silent for half a minute before replying: "[Strange sound? What sound?]"

Curiosity still outweighs wariness, and there's even a hint of inquiry.

Chen Baiyu understood the situation.

This 10% bonus does make people more tolerant of some "irrationalities" that are not easily noticed, but it is probably not enough to overturn common sense.

He went even further, saying, "I heard some test subjects have escaped, but the boss said it's all rumors. If you dare to go, I can ask around for you?"

This time, Wang Daji replied instantly, his tone finally changing: "Are you fucking kidding me? Experimental subject? You've been watching too many horror movies!"

When it reaches an absolutely outrageous level, the trust bonus suddenly and completely fails.

Chen Baiyu did not reply.

I clicked "Cancel Transfer" directly.

The moment the interface displayed "Undo Successful," the feeling of connection he had was abruptly gone, like a kite with a broken string.

Almost at the same time.

Wang Daji's message popped up again, carrying obvious hostility:
Are you out of your mind? Adding the wrong person and you're acting crazy?

[You son of a bitch, you bastard, you motherfucker!!!]

Blocked!

next second.

A message popped up on the screen saying "The other party has enabled friend verification".

Chen Baiyu put down her phone.

My fingertips tapped lightly on the table.
