[Free Loader: Gained the skill upgrade "Talk You Into a Limp". Whether it is monsters or humans, once they enter a state of hesitation, they will tend to trust you. Additional effect: Trust +100%]
[PS: Those who do not believe from the start naturally will not believe! You must use the art of language to make them enter a state of hesitation before this passive skill will take effect.]
'This skill is really nasty.'
It does not make people believe right away, it first makes you enter a state of being talked into it, and only then does it activate.
This made Ethan think of a certain kind of scam.
["Someone someone, 28 years old, fair skinned and beautiful, husband became infertile due to a car accident. In order to inherit the family business and maintain the family image, I am specially looking for a decent and healthy man from another place to fulfill my mother's wish… reward of 2 million if pregnant."]
Such a message that looks especially stupid.
Yet quite a lot of people still fall for it.
Of course, most people, after seeing it, will directly tap ❌ and ignore it.
But then why do scammers send such stupid messages to trick people out of money?
Is it really that scammers are low IQ?
Actually no, it is because scammers are screening their targets. If someone can even believe such a stupid message, then it already proves that this person's level of being scammed is almost one hundred percent.
When someone replies, it is basically helping the scammer filter out the people who can be scammed.
And Ethan's skill actually works in much the same way as that message. People who do not believe from the start do not need to be bothered with. But if some people have already started to hesitate, then naturally they will fall into Ethan's trap.
Of course Ethan would not deliberately use it to harm people or scam people.
As for those with crooked intentions, naturally they could not be let off.
And at this moment, most of the people in Zone 7, after seeing Ethan's words, already started having little thoughts of their own, for example the habitual scammer Very Sweet Girl.
"Heh! What renting and what handling fees?", Very Sweet Girl looked at what Ethan had said in the regional channel and complained disdainfully to her live in partner, "Anything this old lady borrows with her own ability, why should I return it?"
"I really don't know what these so called lords are chosen based on!", Jerry lay on the big bed, touching Very Sweet Girl's thigh and sneered, "They're simply stupid to the extreme! In this ghost place, if he can get back the things he rents out, I'll believe in him."
"Exactly, these days the one who borrows money is the boss, the one who collects debts is the little brother."
Very Sweet Girl kissed Jerry and said, "Brother Jerry, you said before you had a pair of Whirlwind Boots to give me. When exactly are you going to give them to me."
"Isn't it because I still haven't found that bastard's whereabouts yet. Once I find him, naturally I'll give them to you!"
Jerry continued and Very Sweet Girl pouted and did not say anything more, she just silently picked up the burn ointment on the table, scooped out a bit and smeared it on her face, using it as face cream.
She found that this bottle of burn ointment she had scammed from someone actually had a pretty good moisturizing effect.
For women, looks are the most important thing, so of course you have to take good care of yourself. Otherwise when you get old and lose your looks, you will only be able to make money with your own ability.
Very Sweet Girl did not want to work that hard.
"It's here! That lord has started renting out all kinds of materials," Jerry said happily, "Even though the two of us only need to upgrade one stone house, we can still take two sets of materials. That way we can get two sets for free."
"Exactly, when the time comes we won't return them. What can he do, come find us or what?"
Very Sweet Girl also covered her mouth and laughed.
"Sunny is really smart," Jerry raised his brows and then remembered something, "Oh right! And those mining tools, hunting equipment, skill books, we need two of everything."
"Mmhmm!"
Very Sweet Girl nodded repeatedly.
Then she rubbed her hands together at the magic book and said, "Ethan said he's about to put out the materials. Hurry up and get up and help me grab them! Otherwise they'll all be snatched away!"
"Alright! Anyway we grab as much as we can. When the time comes we don't even need to resell them, we can just make another wave of profit!"
"That's right! This Ethan is basically a living god of wealth, coming to give us money!"
The two of them were overjoyed and immediately stared tightly at the [Trading Channel] on the magic book, waiting for Ethan to put out the rental items.
"It's here!", Very Sweet Girl hurriedly shouted.
That attitude, that hand speed, that reaction, it was just like grabbing flash sale items at midnight on Double Eleven.
While shouting that Taobao is trash, every Double Eleven there are no real discounts, only all kinds of fake price increases and decreases, but when the time comes, you still shout Papa Ma and shout that flash sales are really sweet.
[Trading Channel]
[Rent 200 stone (Remaining: 50)]
[Rent 200 stone, return 220 after three days. One day overdue return an extra 22, second day overdue return 24, and so on.]
[PS: One share per person.]
Ethan had just finished explaining and as a result the fifty shares of stone were instantly snapped up, these people acting like they did not need to return them at all.
Shrug, anyway since they grabbed them, it is assumed they know the rental terms.
Continue listing.
[Rent 50 wood (Remaining: 50)]
[Rent 20 vines (Remaining: 50)]
[Rent 4 glass (Remaining: 50)]
[Rent 4 earth type beast cores (Remaining: 40)]
[PS: Because glass and earth type beast cores are fewer than 10, one extra unit must be returned as interest after three days. Other type beast cores can be used for repayment, and glass can also be repaid with other type beast cores.]
"Honey, how many did you grab?"
Very Sweet Girl had basically grabbed one share of every rental material Ethan put up.
And Jerry, after finishing grabbing the rental materials, turned his head and kissed Very Sweet Girl with a smile, "Of course I grabbed everything. Do you really need to doubt your husband's hand speed?"
"Hehehe! Husband is the best!"
"But when I was grabbing those materials just now, I think I saw some kind of system reminder or something, but I didn't really look carefully," Jerry frowned, "Did you notice anything?"
"What's there to look at? Anyway this kind of thing is just like borrowing money. As long as it's money I borrowed with my own ability, why would I return it?"
"That's true!"
Jerry could not agree more and nodded repeatedly.
And at this moment Very Sweet Girl hurriedly said again, "That idiot has put up the tools. The quantities are not many. Husband, hurry and grab them."
"Alright, watch this daddy's super Kirin arm trained for twenty six years!"
[Rent a Goblin 500 slot backpack one (Remaining: 22)]
[Rent a perfect bronze pickaxe one (Remaining: 22)]
[PS: Those who rent production tools must hand over ten percent of their daily harvest as rent.]
[Rent skill book Sliding Tackle (Fake) (Remaining: 99)]
[PS: Those who rent skill books must hand over thirty percent of the monsters killed using the skill as rent.]
Instantly gone.
Almost all production tools were instantly snapped up.
Only this skill book, because Ethan listed a relatively large quantity, exactly equal to the remaining number of people in Zone 7, so there were 9 left and no one rented them.
[T/N: I hope you all are enjoying the book and if you are, please do give some reviews, be it bad or good, and keep commenting in the chapters to let me know that there are actually people reading it. It makes my day and I really read every single comment that comes on every one of the books. Even reply to some comments if I can. Have a nice day, y'all~]
