The Labyrinth of the Monsters-Chapter 63 – Beauty scheme

"That's right, just as you thought." Liu Qingying smiled.

Gao Yang was surprised: Does this woman also have mind-reading abilities?!

"No, it's because you're still in a dream, so I can roughly sense the fluctuations of information in your mind and make deductions to understand what you're thinking. I wouldn't be able to do it in reality." Liu Qingying sighed, "I do wish I had mind-reading abilities though, it would save me so much trouble."

Mind-reading abilities?

It seemed that what she wanted was not tangible items, but...information?

Liu Qingying's eyes narrowed slightly with satisfaction. She was somewhat surprised and said, "You're very clever. I suddenly regret choosing you."

Gao Yang also smiled. "So, it's indeed an information exchange?"

"Yes."

"Information about the Zodiac?" Gao Yang himself didn't have much value, so Liu Qingying must be after the organization behind him.

"Yes."

"Let's talk about how to trade then." Gao Yang crossed his legs and listened attentively.

"It's not difficult. First, let's talk about the method of the trade. You come to my shop once a month to eat something, and I will give you a complimentary drink. Take a sip, and we can meet in the dream that night, just like now, without leaving any traces. And you can rest assured, although I can invade your dreams, I can't physically harm you. The duration of the dream depends on your sleep time in reality. Compared to other talents, [Sweet Dreams] is very gentle."

Gao Yang nodded, indicating for Liu Qingying to continue.

"During each meeting, I will ask you for some information about the Zodiac. If you know, you can tell me, or you can choose not to tell me. I won't force you." Liu Qingying extended a finger and emphasized, "I only have one requirement: you can't intentionally give me false information. Once I figure it out, the cooperation will end, and I can't guarantee that I won't retaliate."

"Understood."

"Let's talk about the rewards. I can give you some information you want, and the principle is the same. I can choose to tell you or not, and you can't force me. One piece of information for another." Liu Qingying's mouth curled up, revealing a hint of shrewdness and worldliness. "If you provide me with one piece of information and I don't have the information you want, I can give you five Gold Crow Coins as thanks."

"Gold Crow Coins? Isn't that a mythical bird?" Gao Yang said.

"No, it's the common currency among awakened beings. It's made of a very rare metal called Metal of the Crow, and the total circulation in the market is no more than 100,000 coins. Awakened beings refer to this metal as Crow Metal. It was originally called Crow Gold Coins, but later everyone started calling it Gold Crow Coins."

Liu Qingying smiled. "It's hard for you to grasp it this way. Five Gold Crow Coins, if converted into the value of ordinary banknotes, would be around 2 million. Of course, hardly any awakened beings would be foolish enough to exchange Gold Crow Coins for ordinary banknotes. But considering your father's situation..."

"Alright."

This woman is truly terrifying.

"What's the use of Crow Metal? Why can it be used as the common currency among awakened beings?" Gao Yang asked.

"It has many uses. First of all, although we can't create rune circuits, we can determine that rune circuits are made of Crow Metal. In addition, weapons and tools made of Crow Metal have special energy. It can also resonate with certain talents of awakened beings, achieving various miraculous effects."

Gao Yang thought of Qing Ling's Tang Blade. Could it also be made of Crow Metal?

The thought flashed through his mind, but Gao Yang immediately cut it off. He couldn't inadvertently reveal his teammate's trump card to Liu Qingying, who could almost "read minds" in dreams.

"In short, Gold Crow Coins are very useful. Even if you don't use them to make special weapons, you can trade with other awakened beings. I won't go into detail here. Since you've joined the Zodiac, I believe you will soon become familiar with the world of awakened beings."

Gao Yang nodded.

Liu Qingying placed her hands back on her knees. "Those are the rules."

"It's fair." Gao Yang couldn't find any faults."Furthermore," Liu Qingying stood up from her seat with a smile. Her figure was incredibly tempting under the moonlight, her red cheongsam accentuating her alluring curves. Her silver hair added a touch of mystery and nobility, stirring the primal desires deep within men.

"You're a man, perhaps, we could in the dream..." Liu Qingying didn't finish her sentence, instead hinting with her seductive gaze, "Don't worry, this isn't a transaction. The night is long, and I can't leave until you wake from your dream. I need to do something to pass the time, and it could also enhance our feelings for each other, deepening our cooperation."

"Uh, no need."

What kind of joke was this?

You're a man!

"Heh, I knew White Rabbit would tell you that I'm a man," Liu Qingying said, as if she had expected it.

"Isn't it?" Gao Yang asked.

"To be precise, I'm a hermaphrodite," Liu Qingying said.

"You mean you're intersex?"

Gao Yang was surprised. Intersex people are those who possess both male and female physical characteristics. The ratio of intersex people to normal people is 7500:1. There are only over 400 humans in Leave City, and yet there was an intersex person! Gao Yang increasingly felt that the possibility of "my family members are also humans" was not nonexistent.

"Although I'm a hermaphrodite, my psychological traits are 100% female. Moreover, in the dream, I can erase my male characteristics. You don't need to feel any psychological burden. Besides, this is just a dream."

"So," Liu Qingying took a step forward and gently extended her hand towards Gao Yang, "won't you reconsider?"
