Chapter 221: The skill of deceiving people has improved again
Xu Yu leaned back on the sofa, raised his hands, and made a gesture of surrender to Yu Jiajia.
"Okay, okay, I surrender, stop making trouble."
Yu Jiajia dropped the pillow in her hand and pointed at him, warning, "There are some things you shouldn't say. Just learn to shut up!"
Xu Yu raised the corner of his lips and asked with interest: "Hmm? What if I don't want to?"
"You can give it a try."
"I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously."
"You still like to make jokes that could kill you."
"So what? You're still so disrespectful to your elders."
Yu Jiajia glared at him.
Joanna knocked on the table, attracting the attention of several people, and said, "I sent you the script. Did you receive it?"
The three of them looked at the intelligent computer and replied, "Got it."
"That's good. Remember, the three of you are a team in this operation. If one person is caught, the others will become targets." Joanna pointed at Yu Jiajia and emphasized, "Especially you. Follow the plan."
Yu Jiajia snorted disdainfully and said, "I understand."
Joanna clapped her hands, and three robots rose from the lower level.
"You will spend two days learning the basic etiquette of the nobility. I have input the code into these robots, and they will teach you well."
Luo Shiyu: "Ah? I'm a servant! Do I have to learn etiquette too?"
Joanna: "You are a deacon. Deacons should be more elegant."
[This is so annoying. I couldn't even learn the etiquette those maids taught me back then, let alone this.]
Yu Jiajia came over and whispered to Luo Shiyu, "You can refer to Wang Rui's usual demeanor."
My brother?
Luo Shiyu stood straight, his feet apart at right angles, his right arm naturally raised across his chest, his chin raised, his eyes slightly lowered when he looked at people.
Joanna clapped her hands: "It's perfect! It's absolutely perfect! That's the feeling!"
Luo Shiyu lost his composure in a second and complained, "I'm so tired!"
"Feel more and you won't be tired." After Joanna handed the three of them to the robot, she left.
The robot pulled out a small teaching stick from its hand and beat anyone who showed an inappropriate posture.
The other two were fine; they only heard Luo Shiyu screaming throughout the whole process.
"what!"
"Oh hoo!"
"Isn't this too painful?"
"What an inhumane design!"
"Alright! Alright! I won't say anything more, stop hitting me!"
【Wow, wow, wow~ I want to go home! 】
After finally waiting until time was almost up and returning to the ghost realm, Luo Shiyu hugged Yu Jiajia and hummed.
“Hmm~Hmm~ It hurts!”
Yu Jiajia stroked his head and said, "It's not enough that you put your hands in your pockets like a scoundrel, but your back looks like it can't be straightened. It's strange that you don't get beaten!"
"It's mainly because I'm tired. But Jia Jia is amazing. She can hold a few books on her head and not only walk but also drink tea."
“Maybe I have better balance.”
"There's a jewelry exhibition in two days. What if I can't play this role well?"
"Don't panic, you can do this."
"Always have to be prepared for both situations..."
Luo Shiyu seemed to be thinking about something.
[Xiao Hei's skills are too powerful, and ghost messengers can't kill people. So the only option is to...]
"Copy skills!"
"Hmm? What is the copy skill?"
Luo Shiyu told Yu Jiajia about the abilities he had acquired and asked him to help him take a leave of absence tomorrow.
"Got it. Whose skills are you going to copy?"
"Copying a ghost's skills might reveal your identity when used, but the same can't be said for ghost skills! Especially ghosts that haven't been monitored by Maria yet."
"Looks like you've already got a choice."
"Yes."
"Go ahead and be safe."
"Do not worry."
The next day, Luo Shiyu slept until he woke up naturally, entered the ghost realm and picked up the paper bird that Chen Yiluo gave him.
"Chen Yiluo, are you there?"
The paper bird flew into the air, gleaming with light, and Chen Yiluo's voice rang out, "I'm here. What could you wish for, sir?"
"Where are you? I'm coming to play with you!"
"I am in my own ghostland. The paper bird will not only guide you here, but also ensure that you can move freely in the ghostland."
"Okay, wait."
Xiaobai placed one hand on the paper bird and opened the portal with the other.
After the door opened, Zhique entered first, followed closely by Luo Shiyu.
The ghost town is the same as the last time I came here, with bustling ancient streets and paper figures coming and going.
Those paper figures seemed to treat Luo Shiyu as a VIP and even saluted him.
The road was smooth and Chen Yiluo had been waiting in front of his mansion for a long time.
After seeing Luo Shiyu, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Sir, please come in."
Luo Shiyu casually put his arm around Chen Yiluo's shoulder and said familiarly, "We are all friends, there's no need to be so polite."
"Your Excellency is still so casual."
"That is required."
A man and a ghost came to the hall, served by paper figures.
Chen Yiluo respectfully poured tea for Luo Shiyu and said, "Sir, what brings you to me this time?"
"I just came here to chat with you when I had nothing better to do, and then I wanted to appreciate your abilities."
"What are my abilities?"
"Yeah, I'm quite interested in these paper figures, so I want to see what your skills are. Are you available?"
"Of course it's convenient, but I'm not good at fighting, and my skills are mostly control."
"Control? Great!" Luo Shiyu couldn't wait to pull Chen Yiluo to a wide area and urged, "Quick! Show it!"
【Xiaobai, get ready! 】
Chen Yiluo took out a brush from his sleeve and wrote words in the air, reciting: "There is a girl as beautiful as jade in the book."
The words transform into a graceful lady, dancing in the air.
A prompt box popped up in front of Luo Shiyu.
"Do you want to consume 7652 soul points to extract this skill?"
【Why do you need so much? 】
Xiaobai: "Master, have you forgotten? You need to provide double the user's soul power, but no soul power is needed when releasing it."
[Sorry for the inconvenience! Let me take a look at this skill description first, and then I'll consider whether to extract this ability.]
Luo Shiyu expanded the skill description.
"The beauty dances, forcing all targets within her visual range to admire her movements for five minutes. (This is ineffective against targets with missing five senses.)" (Chen Yiluo was merely demonstrating her abilities, so Luo Shiyu wasn't attracted to her.)
[Forced control for five minutes, good stuff! ]
Luo Shiyu pressed the button without hesitation: "Yes."
"Ding! Congratulations! You've successfully extracted the skill 'The Book of Women, Beautiful as Jade'. (Crush the card to use it)"
As the message prompted, a card appeared in front of Luo Shiyu.
The card shows Chen Yiluo holding a brush and writing something.
Chen Yiluo thought the card in Luo Shiyu's hand was a portrait of himself, and praised him, "Sir, this painting is very exquisite."
Luo Shiyu just smiled. He was too embarrassed to expose him, but he still tried to trick him.
"Xiao Chen! Do you have any other practical skills?"
"Yes, sir, have you ever heard of paper-folding?"
"Paper-tying technique?"
