All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 100: Too Bad I Only Mined 3 Points

"Alright alright alright!"

The driver responded repeatedly.

Then he reacted and said:

"No no no! No need! Forget about the fare, I won’t charge for this trip."

Facing this erratic young man, the driver felt terrified and wouldn’t dare to take Su Xin’s money. What if the boy suddenly changed his mind and stabbed him? That would be a big loss.

"It’s a must, it’s a must. You’ve driven me dozens of kilometers, how can I not pay?"

"Don’t be afraid, I was just joking earlier, I’ll double the money as promised."

Su Xin said with a smile, having intended to apologize and pay double the fare to compensate for the driver’s shock.

But then he remembered that due to a one-day delay on his last task, this new task was triggered three days late, and he was determined to complete it quickly this time. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

It’s past five in the afternoon now, and he was pressed for time to finish the task today.

Since this driver seemed cooperative and quickly advanced his task progress a bit, he clearly trusted people easily. Perhaps Su Xin could gain more progress from him.

Thinking of this, Su Xin had an idea.

He took out his wallet, found all the cash inside, totaling sixteen hundred yuan, and placed it in the armrest box beside the driver.

"Driver, please try to avoid toll stations later, take the back roads if possible. If unavoidable, help me deal with the checks. I robbed a jewelry store with my partner this afternoon, the stuff is hidden in my backpack, can’t be discovered, or there’ll be trouble."

"Consider this money your benefit fee, see if you know any familiar back roads, avoid checks as much as possible, okay?"

Su Xin held onto his backpack, looking seriously at the driver from behind. The driver’s arms straight as sticks, his eyelids twitching.

Seeing him not respond, Su Xin took out a folding knife again, opened it and placed it by the driver’s neck, asking once more:

"Driver, okay?"

"Uh... okay."

The driver swallowed, responding with difficulty.

The driver already believed Su Xin wasn’t a good person, and his actions seemed quite crazy. He had no doubt about Su Xin’s story of robbing a jewelry store.

In fact, there were many holes in Su Xin’s story, but the driver, in a state of extreme stress, couldn’t discern the details and simply believed it.

"Ding! [Truth and Lies] progress +1."

Su Xin retrieved the folding knife, smiling sincerely, and said frankly:

"Driver, those words earlier, were actually a joke with you, no need to deliberately avoid any toll stations, just pass directly, but do head to West District’s mental institution after all, I’ve had enough fun for the day and it’s time to go back."

"Huh?"

The driver was momentarily bewildered by Su Xin’s words, caught off guard.

"What’s ’huh’? Actually, I’m a patient there, I managed to sneak out today. Originally, I didn’t want to return, but found there’s not much fun outside, so I’m heading back."

Su Xin opened his backpack, shook it vigorously, and showed it to the driver through the rearview mirror.

"See, it’s just some basic daily supplies, I’m not part of any group, nor have I robbed any jewelry store, it was all a joke with you."

"Ha ha, I see."

The driver forced a difficult smile, responding to Su Xin’s words.

"Now, you really believe me, right?"

"Believe, believe! Absolutely believe."

The driver nodded repeatedly, inwardly cursing: "If you’re not insane, then there’s no insane person in this world."

"Ding! [Truth and Lies] progress +1."

Su Xin laughed heartily from within.

In just a minute or two, he’d gained three progress points from this stranger, remarkable speed.

However, at this point, he couldn’t continue making things up, the other party already saw him as a lunatic. Telling more lies might not convince him anymore.

Su Xin zipped his backpack back up.

The driver picked up the money from the armrest box, handed it back to Su Xin without turning:

"Since it was all a joke earlier, why don’t you take your money back?"

The driver suddenly thought, how could Su Xin, who escaped from a mental institution, have so much money?

"Could he have stolen it from someone else?"

"Or swiped it from somewhere?"

"And he has a knife, maybe he committed a serious crime."

Recalling Su Xin’s insane behavior just now made the driver feel this possibility was high.

But he didn’t dare say much at the moment, nor take Su Xin to the police station, just wanted to quickly drop Su Xin at the destination and get rid of him.

Su Xin didn’t say more, quietly took the money and put it back in his wallet, continuing to think about completing the task.

"From the three progress points gained earlier, my understanding of the task was correct."

"Just fabricate some implausible lies, and perform actions aligning with those lies, that’s enough to make the other believe."

"Following this direction..."

Su Xin wore a thoughtful expression, ideas sparked in his mind.

The driver quickly glanced at Su Xin through the rearview mirror, seeing him remain silent, he mentally relaxed a bit, then focused back on the road, pressing the gas pedal increasingly.

With the driver pushing to his limits, zooming ahead, they reached Sunshine Community smoothly before six o’clock — Su Xin had changed the destination, naturally the driver didn’t dare disagree.

Before getting out, Su Xin forcefully handed six hundred yuan to the driver, saying sternly:

"There’s someone I hate in Sunshine Community, wait for me here, I’m going to teach him a lesson. I’ll be back soon, don’t tell anyone about my whereabouts, understand?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t say anything!"

"Alright, wait for me here, then take me back to West District’s mental hospital. I’ll pay you another two hundred bucks, no problem?"

"No problem."

The driver appeared very bold, eagerly agreeing while patting his chest.

Su Xin got out of the car, not too far after, the driver slammed the gas pedal and left, muttering curses:

"Damn it, lunatic! I’d be crazy to wait for you! Never seeing you again!"

Su Xin, not hearing the system prompt, shook his head helplessly:

"Seems he’s already convinced I’m a lunatic, doesn’t believe a word I say."

"Pity, only harvested three progress points."
