Chapter 124 - 124 45 The Real Con Artist Can Suffocate Millions With Dreams by Their Skill

124: Chapter 45: The Real Con Artist Can Suffocate Millions With Dreams by Their Skill 124: Chapter 45: The Real Con Artist Can Suffocate Millions With Dreams by Their Skill When Lisa mentioned Temir, Cheng Daqi just thought she was a typical wealthy woman.

Rich, good-looking, fond of men, with a bit of a career, just an ordinary rich woman.

But if this wealthy woman has an uncle who is a senator, and they share the same surname.

Especially since her uncle was serving his second term.

Missouri Senator, Wood Caramakris.

That background signified something far from simple.

After Lisa and her companion left, Cheng Daqi started to look up information on the Caramakris family.

Greek immigrants, the family moved to America in the middle of World War I, initially settling on the East Coast in South Carolina before gradually moving to Missouri.

Cheng Daqi had previously worked with Eris, aiming to promote his exclusive strategy to a key figure in the Republican Party.

Now Temir’s background revealed even more possibilities to him.

However, all these things were far off.

Cheng Daqi pulled up the system panel, ready for some leveling up.

As a seasoned reader of numerous system novels, he thought of a question.

‘System, will the skill points needed for skill upgrades increase with level?’

[No, the maximum level is five, and each level only requires one point, no further upgrades available after level five.]

Cheng Daqi paused his leveling up, he had planned to upgrade his Eloquence from LV2 to LV3.

But the system’s reply opened up new possibilities for him.

He planned to improve his Eloquence to LV3 on his own before directly leveling it to LV4.

‘System, can there be specific numerical values for the bonus effects of different skill levels?

Does upgrading a skill become increasingly difficult as its level rises?’

[The effectiveness of a skill level is determined by the skill level of people in human history, LV1 means your skill is in the top 50 percent of human history, LV2 is the top 5 percent, and so forth.

At LV5, you will directly become the number one person in the history of that skill.]

[Skill upgrading depends on the optimal effect achieved by using the skill, if the effect is great enough, it can be upgraded.]

Following the system’s explanation, Cheng Daqi recalled his experience of upgrading Eloquence to LV2.

At the time, he was chatting with Lisa and triggered Eloquence LV1, which, after taking effect, performed well, so the skill was upgraded.

‘Can I exercise my Eloquence skill by working in sales or as a call center representative?’

Cheng Daqi thought of a potential exploit.

If that were possible, he’d immediately take a job in telemarketing, level Eloquence to LV5, and then re-emerge.

Eloquence LV5, the historical number one in human history.

That would be more impressive than the Führer himself!

[No, repetitive use and achieving the best effect are unrelated.]

‘Trash system, only one reward in the newbie package, no new missions, and even leveling up skills is so difficult!’

[System mission releases are random and not mandatory.]

Shaking his head, Cheng Daqi closed the system panel.

When his Eloquence would level up to LV3, he wasn’t sure, but Cheng Daqi never really placed all his hopes for the future in the help of the system.

To turn his life around with the system was just for fun, he still believed in his own abilities.

—————–

Kernor and Scott were ready to be discharged from the hospital, after all, they were only a bit shaken up.

“Chan, how are you doing?”

“Not bad, but why hasn’t the police asked us for any investigation or anything?”

That was what Cheng Daqi didn’t understand the most.

The Red Street kidnapping case had been huge, but the police seemed to have no interest in them, the hostages who had escaped from the kidnappers.

He understood Gru’s concern about not wanting to keep amplifying the kidnapping case, but it was baffling that the police had no intention of investigating at all.

Scott happened to have a clear grasp of the American system.

“California deals with its own mess, the LAPD has already killed all the kidnappers, which is enough.

Too much investigation, and what if something comes out?

Not suitable, right?”

The blonde veteran, having served in Afghanistan, had profound insights into America’s methods of investigation.

“Well then, Kernor, Scott, where do you guys live?”

Now that Cheng Daqi had funds on hand, he had more room to maneuver.

Kernor was a congenital digital phantom entity, and Scott was a war-damaged PTSD veteran.

The former had a promising future, the latter had stunned America on the variety show last night.

Both were talents to be treasured.

With a heart that cherishes talent, Cheng Daqi had one.

“Emmm, an underpass, not bad, hmm.”

The blonde vet answered awkwardly, not understanding why Cheng Daqi was asking.

They were all destitute homeless, even if you could introduce me to a job, you’re a bum too.

Kernor, on the other hand, was excitedly inviting.

“Chan, you and Sani can move in and live with us.

Scott is tough, you’re tough, I’ll also be tough soon, we could start a gang.”

From Scott’s confused look, Cheng Daqi knew Kernor was just joking.

Everyone has their own American Dream, and Kernor’s was simple: to be a gang leader.

In this poor child’s mind, a gang leader meant making it big.

Cheng Daqi shook his head and replied.

“I didn’t make it clear yesterday, Kernor, I’ve started a company, a media company.

I taught you martial arts in the hope that you’d become an actor in my media company.”

In reality, that meant an internet celebrity, but Cheng Daqi wasn’t sure if Kernor could stick to his original intention to strictly follow the training.

So he used ‘actor’ as a guise to let Kernor try it out for a while first.

Scott didn’t expect such a development from Cheng Daqi, while Kernor was still comprehending what Cheng Daqi meant, but Scott had already voiced his skepticism.
