The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 75 Silent Intellectual Games

Yu Qing and Yao Dan wandered around the streets for a long time, but still couldn't think of a way to force the other party to show up.

The key is to be tactful with this approach, so as not to make people think he's a jerk. After all, so far the other party hasn't shown any intention of harming him.

This is a game of wits, not brute force.

He had a bold idea: those people were already tired of all entertainment, so they had no ulterior motives and simply wanted to arm wrestle with him.

If you let your opponent win easily a few times, they might quickly lose interest. But it's not so easy to inflict a loss that you can actually make things worse, making them think you're useless and prompting them to consider getting rid of you.

Let's win a few games against him first.

Suddenly, he instructed Furong, "Go to the trunk in the car, take Erlang out and wake him up, then bring him here."

Furong left without asking any questions, but Yaodan asked curiously, "Why did you bring that robot dog here?"

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Walking the dog, is that not allowed?"

"It's definitely not that simple."

Yu Qing whispered affectionately in Yao Dan's ear, explaining what he planned to do next.

Yao Dan laughed loudly upon hearing this, "My husband is such a bad guy! But I like him very much."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "You have no choice but to like it."

After Furong brought Erlang over, Yuqing stroked its head and said, "Erlang, today I'm going to change your name to Sanlang, okay?"

Erlang nodded.

Yu Qing said with satisfaction, "Sanlang, now stand up and imitate how a person walks on two legs."

Saburo immediately stood up and took a few steps using his hind legs, imitating Yu Qing's walking style.

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Very good, that's it. Today, wherever you go with me, you must walk like this, understand?"

Sanlang barked twice to indicate that he understood.

"Furong, could you please make another trip and find some fabric so that Sanlang can have some simple clothes to wear?"

Just as Furong was about to leave, Yaodan grabbed her and quickly tore three strips of cloth from her skirt, tying them around Sanlang's abdomen like three belts.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qing laughed and said, "Three belts, Sanlang, indeed Sanlang!"

So he led Sanlang, surrounded by Yaodan and the others, into another entertainment venue.

Their unusual combination quickly attracted everyone's attention.

At that moment, a humanoid beauty immediately came to greet them.

Yu Qing said loudly, "Go and find a companion for my dog."

The humanoid girl was a little confused and asked, "Does the VIP mean... looking for a dog?"

Yu Qing patted Sanlang on the head, and Sanlang barked softly a few times. Yu Qing nodded exaggeratedly and said, "I know, Sanlang."

Turning back, Yu Qing smiled and said to the humanoid girl, "My Sanlang said he wants a female dog with three heads to keep him company."

The audience, who had been watching the play, suddenly realized what he meant when he said that he was indirectly mocking the people with superhuman abilities. This drew a burst of laughter from everyone.

Yu Qing seized the opportunity to add, "But don't bring something with five or six legs, two legs will do."

Dogs in the world clearly have four legs; there are no dogs with only two legs. This is clearly a veiled criticism.
The humanoid girl's reasoning ability was also quite strong, so she realized that this was a provocation and left in embarrassment.

Yu Qing was secretly delighted; she was probably on her way to give a report. He hoped that this would anger those three-headed, six-armed guys behind her and make them show up to settle accounts with him immediately.

A moment later, the humanoid woman returned, smiling, and said, "Honored guest, my master said that there are no three-headed dogs available at the moment. Would you like to find a wild dog to keep it company for a few days?" Yu Qing blushed deeply; he had been scolded by her again.

However, he quickly retorted, saying, "The original state is better than the three-headed thing. If one head bites another, that's what you call a dog fighting!"

Seeing that the beautiful woman had left again, Yu Qing felt that the person behind the scenes would soon come to the forefront.

However, he was wrong again this time. A moment later, the humanoid Shu ran over, handed him something that looked like an egg, and left without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yu Qing quickly pulled Yao Dan and the others away.

"Husband, why do we suddenly have to leave?"

Yu Qing didn't answer, and pulled Yao Dan and the others to the parking lot in a few quick steps. After they were in the car, Yu Qing finally spoke, "Can't you tell? They're probably just angry and embarrassed."

"I really can't tell."

"When the humanoid girl gave me the egg just now, she looked flustered, obviously frightened by her master's anger. Also, isn't the egg she gave me a metaphor for telling us to get lost?"

"Then let's hurry up and leave; those people don't seem like trouble."

“We absolutely cannot leave now; that would be adding fuel to the fire. We’re staying in the car in case they suddenly do something dangerous, so we can escape quickly then.”

"They dare! I'll cripple them with my virtual gun!"

"It's no use. Do you know how deep the water is here? We who came here to fight are most likely no match for them. Besides, we just want to leave here as soon as possible, there's no need to make enemies."

"What should we do then? Are we just going to wait here like this? Chang'e and the others are still waiting for us at Yaoling."

"They're definitely waiting for us to make a move, hoping to teach us a lesson. But instead, we're lying low, sleeping soundly. It's like someone blocking your path with a giant sledgehammer, waiting to give you a good whack, while you're sitting far away leisurely drinking and eating..."

"To wear down their spirit in the opposite direction."

"Yes, that's the idea. I'll rest for a bit. You contact Chang'e and the others to see how things are going on their end. Make sure to keep a close eye on Danggui, and make sure she doesn't cause any trouble."

After saying that, Yu Qing rested his head on Fu Rong's lap and asked her to give him a head massage.

He closed his eyes, contemplating his next move.

Fu Rong's technique was superb; he felt extremely comfortable all over, waking up and drifting back into a daze. It was this completely relaxed state that allowed him to quickly form a preliminary plan for tomorrow's actions.

The next morning, as he leaned against Furong and ate the food Yaodan fed him, he planned out the day's itinerary.

"Today, you two carry two bulging big bags and come with me to Beishan."

"Husband, what are you doing going to Beishan? And you're carrying two big bags, are you going to hike up the mountain?"

"Yes, bird hunting, of course, and hiking is a great leisure activity."

Yao Dan asked, puzzled, "Going to hunt birds at this time, my husband, are you out of your mind?"

"Don't ask any more questions, just do as I say. Furong, pack your backpack."

Furong asked, "But... what should I put in the backpack?"

"Anything but my food and water for today is fine, but it must be packed full and well covered so no one can tell what's inside."

Yao Dan said, "I thought we were bringing two backpacks to carry prey... Besides, we don't have any weapons for hunting birds."

"Carry your virtual gun on your back."

"Husband, are you crazy? Using a phantom gun to shoot birds? Isn't that like carrying a giant golden bathtub to collect a drop of dew?"

Yu Qing laughed and said, "If it were a drop of immortal dew, it wouldn't be so bad."
