Chapter 42: Confession! The Mechanical City Suspended in the Sky
As events unfolded, the questions in Chen Pingchuan’s mind multiplied.
SMACK!
He suddenly slapped his forehead.
What am I thinking? There are still nine months until the poker-faced woman’s attack. Even if the remaining four simulations this month all end in failure, I still have eighty chances. Even a pig should be able to find a way out by then, right?
His furrowed brow gradually relaxed. Those involved are often blind to the truth, while onlookers see it clearly. This, combined with the excessive simulations over the past two days, had given Chen Pingchuan a false impression, as if many years had passed in reality when, in fact, it had only been a few days since he got the system.
The most critical thing now is to continue the simulations to find a path to survival and to master a stable way of acquiring energy crystals. High investment yields high returns.
Chen Pingchuan was very satisfied with the talent that had appeared this time. Although the "Dog Eyes" part of the name sounded a bit moronic, the appraisal function was truly powerful. Next time he encountered that loli, he could use this skill to probe her background.
[The three of you smuggled into the City of No Night. At this time, it was still a prosperous, lively, and peaceful place. You found a familiar ramen shop.]
[You used the appraisal skill on the shop’s elderly owner and learned that he had a long-lost son. An idea sparked in your mind.]
[You unleashed your superb acting skills to deviously deceive the old man. First, you revealed everything you knew about him to break down his defenses. Then, as his mind reeled from the shock...]
[You told him you were his long-lost grandson, having overcome numerous hardships to find him. You claimed that Xia Qingxue, by your side, was his future granddaughter-in-law, while Black Demon Number 1 was just a homeless man you had picked up on the way.]
[Despite the many loopholes, the old man believed your story without a doubt.]
