Chapter 234 Fraudster?
Xia Mu's thoughts drifted further and further away, but she was quickly pulled back by Zi and the others.
Seeing Natsuki's speechless expression, Yukari, who had been trying to lure Tirey with a cat toy, showed a curious expression.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a scam call!"
Xia Mu tossed his phone aside and beckoned to the aloof-looking cat with his finger.
"Meow!"
The cat placed its paw directly on Xia Mu's hand, and Xia Mu did not hesitate at all.
brush!
Pull your hand away and slap it down.
"Meow haha!"
Seeing that Natsuki had missed his shot, the cat let out a smug laugh.
You're still a long way from matching my reaction speed!
"Again!"
"Meow!"
Seeing the cat naturally start playing games with Natsuki, Zi put away the cat toy in her hand speechlessly, and then looked at Natsuki with her little face in her hands.
"What do scam calls look like? I've never encountered one before!"
"How should I put it? Scam calls are those—"
Xia Mu began to explain while playing games with the cat.
"It's basically about enticing people with money—like, 'I'm so-and-so, you can make a fortune by doing this,' and then they'll get you to send them money."
As they were talking, Xia Mu looked at the phone that had lit up again and raised an eyebrow at Zi Deng.
"Instead of listening to me, let's look at the specifics!"
Xia Mu answered the call directly and turned on speakerphone.
"Don't hang up yet, I really am Qi Shu, and I have good news for you!"
"See? I told you so!"
After lip-syncing to Zi, Xia Mu also started talking to the scammers on the other end of the phone.
"Oops, sorry, I was playing a Pokémon game, and I got distracted, so she grabbed my phone and hung up!"
"Oh, I see—..."
Qishu seemed to believe Xiamu's excuse.
However, at this moment, Tire Cat was very angry.
"Meow!"
That's not the kind of Pokémon that doesn't make sense!
Xia Mu immediately stroked the cat's head to soothe the angry Tire Meow.
"My fault, my fault!"
Qi Shu seemed to have heard Xia Mu's voice as well, and asked in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, tell me more specifically, what good thing is it?"
"Kukuku!"
The strange tree let out its signature laugh.
"I'm telling you, I'm planning to invite you to be a guest on my channel—"
As Qishu explained, Xiaoyao and Zi tilted their heads in confusion.
"Why does this person's voice sound just like Ms. Kishiki's?"
"Me too!"
Xia Mu did not hesitate at all.
"It's definitely a voice changer! I always encountered these kinds of guys when I played games—"
"Oh, I see!"
Xiaoyao and Zi felt that Xia Mu was truly knowledgeable and well-informed.
Not only do they know the tricks of scam calls, but they also know about strange things like voice changers.
Meanwhile, Kiju, who was excitedly recounting his grand plan, sensed that Natsuki's reaction was a bit off.
Am I a Qishu brand?
Shouldn't he be happy to agree with me after hearing that we're going to collaborate on a video?
Why does he seem so indifferent?
Qishu began to doubt whether he was no longer popular!
However, when Qishu thought about her steadily increasing channel subscribers every day, and then about her video data, she felt that this might be her imagination.
Ultimately, Qishu still felt that Xia Mu was probably the kind of person who was very lively in videos but socially awkward in real life.
Yes! That should be it!
After convincing herself, Kiki ignored Natsuki's cold attitude and continued to talk about her ideas.
"Come find me in the Padia region, and we'll hold a lively event in Niangguang City, or we can go on an adventure together. With my entertaining antics and your unpredictability, we're guaranteed to be a huge hit!"
"Why don't we go explore the Parthian pits?"
"Okay, okay!"
Qi Shu thought Xia Mu was simply a genius.
The mystery of the Padiya Crater, combined with the comedic effect of myself and Xia Mu, could definitely create a video that would leave people speechless.
However, Qishu also began to think at this moment.
The Padiya Pit isn't something anyone can just enter; it requires the Padiya Alliance's approval. To persuade Chairman Yeci, perhaps I should say it's for promoting the Padiya region?
Qishu excitedly clapped his hands, then noticed the phone had been hung up again sometime earlier.
???
"Is it Natsuki's Tire Cat causing trouble again?"
Qi Shu looked puzzled.
Meanwhile, in Feiyun City, Xia Mu explained to the two women who looked puzzled.
"The Padia Pit is a massive sinkhole in the center of the Padia region. Long ago, only a select group of authorized researchers were allowed to enter. Even Professor Bai Leiya applied countless times without success, let alone students like us from Blueberry Academy!"
"So, this guy is just bragging, there's absolutely no point in listening to him!"
Xiaoyao scratched her head.
"But Miss Kiju is, after all, the Gym Leader of the Padia region; she should be able to enter the Padia Giant Pit, right?"
"Haha, a real rare tree might work, but this is a scam!"
Xia Mu pointed at Xiao Yao and burst into laughter.
"You're so gullible! I'll definitely sell you health supplements when you're old!"
Xiaoyao: (Ten)
Xiaoyao was very angry, so she glared at Xia Mu.
"What if it really is Ms. Kijuku on the other end?!"
"If this guy really is Miss Kiju, I'll jump right in here and swim all the way to the Padiya region!"
"Need not!"
Xiaoyao didn't believe Xia Mu's oath, which sounded like something he wouldn't actually do.
"If you guess wrong, you have to promise me one thing!"
Xia Mu felt that this plot development was very familiar, so she immediately crossed her arms.
"If it's that kind of thing, it's not entirely impossible, but you have to be gentle—"
Looking at Natsuki, whose face was flushed with a strange blush and who was looking at her with a coy, inviting gaze, Xiaoyao couldn't help but shiver.
"Forget it, I have a feeling you'll change your mind even if you agree!"
Once she calmed down, Xiaoyao immediately gave up.
Based on her understanding of Xia Mu, her oaths were as unbelievable as farting.
The best-case scenario of betting against Xia Mu is that if Xia Mu guesses correctly, he makes a fortune, while if he guesses correctly, Xia Mu shamelessly pretends to be stupid.
It has to be said that after dealing with Natsuki for so long, Haruka has completely figured out Natsuki's methods.
Xia Mu, who had already decided to renege on the debt, immediately changed his mind after seeing Xiao Yao back down.
If you don't gamble with me, how am I supposed to make money off you?!
So, Xia Mu slammed his hand on the table.
"A real man's word is his bond. What I say is what I mean. If I go back on my word, you're welcome to come and kill me anytime!"
"Okay, don't try to dodge when I make my move!"
"I won't dodge then! Even if you attack my second brother, I won't dodge!"
"Pah, who wants to hit you there?"
Xiaoyao took a bite with obvious disdain.
Just as the two were on the verge of exchanging barbs, Danyu, who had previously contacted Xia Mu, finally arrived at the seaside coffee shop.
"Xia Mu, I heard that Ms. Qi Shu wants to film a video with you. Has she contacted you?"
???
Xia Mu looked at Dan Yu with an incredulous expression.
"No, what did you say?"
"I heard from Ms. Bai Leiya that Ms. Qishu wants to film a video with you, so she asked me to give your contact information to Aoki Tenno."
As Danyu explained, Xia Mu looked at the still-vibrating phone on the table with a strange expression.
And so does Haruka.
"Hehehe, it seems that's really Miss Qishu!"
As Xiaoyao rubbed her hands together, she let out a strange laugh.
Zi et al.: "..."
Looking at Haruka, who was laughing strangely just like Natsuki used to, she worried that she might also be corrupted by Natsuki.
Xiaoyao and Miss Xiaoju have already been influenced by Xia Mu's colors, so perhaps I, who have known Xia Mu the longest, will too—
Zi swallowed hard.
At that moment, she seemed to see herself letting out a strange "hehehe" laugh and snatching candy from her neighbor's little daughter.
