The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 56 Garbled Code and Lies
It was still raining heavily in the sky.

Smith fell silent after casting the bait.

He patiently waited for Chen Jing to give a reply, and he was very sure that Chen Jing would be able to agree.

the reason is simple.

He had read Chen Jing's profile.

I also know what Chen Jing's living environment is like.

Smith knows very well that there are almost no people who do not want to pursue fame and fortune in this land...

"How do I know if you're lying to me?" Chen Jing asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Smith was ecstatic.

But he didn't dare to show any emotion, he could only try his best to appease Chen Jing and give him an explanation.

"From the moment you showed your extraordinary ability, I will not lie to you again. You have no idea how valuable a powerful extraordinary person like you is to the association..."

After all, Smith stretched out a finger, pointing at the three corpses one by one in turn.

"Even if you tell the association directly that you killed these three members, the people at the top of the association will not punish you, they will only praise you for your youthfulness..."

"It's realistic enough." Chen Jing couldn't help laughing.

"This world has always been like this." Smith pointed to the cloud-covered sky with a vertical finger, "Right and wrong are all in their minds, you just need to show your due value."

"It seems that this organization of yours has no human feelings at all... If I join... maybe someday I will be sold by you..."

Chen Jing said with a smile, and changed the subject before Smith could answer.

"Tell me, why did you come to see my grandfather today?"

This time, Smith quickly gave an answer.

As if it was prepared in advance.

"For some documents."

In Smith's eyes, his words sounded extremely credible.

He observed Chen Jing calmly, hoping to see something from Chen Jing's face, because he couldn't be sure whether Chen Jing's previous behavior was true or not.

Did Chen Bofu tell him what happened back then?
No.

wrong.

Should have told him.

Since this kid is an extraordinary person, it means that Chen Bofu must have done something to him, and it is very likely that he will give that incident to...

"It's not documents, is it?"

Chen Jing knew that Smith was talking nonsense.

But he has always remembered the psychology knowledge taught to him by his university tutor.

So Chen Jing knew that he couldn't tell all the lies now.

Only half-truths and half-false words will fall for this kind of old man who has read countless people.

"How do I remember it's a stone tablet?"

"You!! You really know everything!!!"

"know a little."

Chen Jing admired the astonishment and astonishment on Smith's face with great interest, and his words were still half-truths and half-false.

"But my grandfather did not mention you [Ethereum Association], he once mentioned you to me..."

"What did he say about me..." Smith stared at Chen Jing, trying to see the flaw in his subtle expression.

Chen Jingpi shrugged with a non-smiling smile, as an answer to the old man.

He is actually betting.

He bet that what Smith said earlier was true.

Because he never heard the old man say those things.

If what Smith said was false, but he acted as if he believed it, then no matter how stupid Smith was, he would doubt him.

But if it is true...

"I understand why it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree." Chen Jing seemed to regard himself as a chess piece, and moved one step forward on the chessboard, "As long as the conditions you offer are suitable, it is not impossible to join your association... ..."

When Smith heard this, his complicated expression was replaced by a smile.

"Son, feel free to mention the conditions. The fate of these three people is mine. I'll explain it to you from the association."

Those two people were originally killed by you.

Is it yours?

It stinks shamelessly.

Chen Jing couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"First, let's stop today's matter, and don't use this matter to trouble me in the future..."

"Don't worry about that, it won't happen."

"second……"

Chen Jing scratched his rain-wet hair and proposed the most critical condition.

"The matter of you coming to my grandfather to take the stele... Let's forget it... Can we stop here?"

"This! This will not work!"

Smith's reaction was somewhat beyond Chen Jing's expectation, he was stuttering even when he was excited.

"That stele was requested by the association to take it back! This! There is no room for negotiation!"

Seeing this scene, Chen Jing couldn't help sighing.

He thought he could just let things go.

At least at this juncture, he doesn't want to provoke a behemoth like [Ethereum Association]...

If the scale of the [Ethereum Association] is really as large as Smith said, it is bound to be very difficult to get out of it after joining.

But if the negotiation with Smith fails, then let this big living person go back.

This is undoubtedly letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

But if he is more ruthless and chooses to kill and silence...

Don't think too much, the association will also make trouble for him.

After all, four living people disappeared in the mountains, and no one was alive or dead, so how could the association not suspect him?

So the only optimal solution at present is to join them.

Yes.

Join the [Ethereum Association].

Even if Chen Jing doesn't want to do this, there is only this option at present.

In the final analysis, it is still not strong enough...

He's just a little oldspawn who's scared of small thermal weapons.

If he had the strength of that crazy grandpa in the other world, not to mention being afraid that some association would come to cause trouble, even if the president came, he would have to get three big mouths from him!

"This is troublesome..."

Chen Jing felt a little headache.

Seeing Smith's eagerness for talent before, he thought this matter could be discussed easily.

But what I didn't expect was that the stone tablet had such a great significance to the association... Roll call to take it back?
That stone tablet should be in the old man's study, right?

and so……

Are you going to use that stele as a certificate of honor?
Give him the things first, and let him bring them back to the association for business.

As for the future, we will talk about it later.

There is always a time to get things back...

"It's not impossible to give you the stone tablet..."

Just when Chen Jing was hesitating whether to agree to him or not, the light curtain of the exam that he had turned off suddenly lit up.

What is displayed above is not the candidate information page, but a line of garbled text.

*******************
[He is lying to you %%￥Don’t promise SSS to join the association￥#You will die to death...[*Invalid characters detected]]
*******************
Chen Jing looked incredulously at the prompting message, and then at old man Smith who was only two meters away from him.

at this moment.

The information on the light curtain changed again.

*******************
[Kill him, kill him, %%￥! ! [*Invalid characters detected]]
*******************
"You lied to me."

"Ok?"

Smith wondered if he had heard wrong.

It was only before that I heard Chen Jing let out a sigh of relief. He was still immersed in the silent joy and did not recover.

"Son, what did you say?"

"I say……"

Chen Jing put away the smile on his face, and the look in his eyes was colder than the rain.

He stared intently at Smith.

But to be more precise.

He was staring at the gigantic creature that silently crawled out of the muddy rain behind Smith.

"You lied to me."
