A few days later.
Xia Ping contacted Germa again. After spending three days, he had finally finished writing the Encyclopedia of Deception.
"Thirty-six Stratagems of Deception?!"
When Germa saw the name of the book, he could not help but be stunned. 'Is this the masterpiece written by Wu Wudi?'
To be honest, he was not very optimistic about Wu Wudi's book. After all, he was an old fox who had been immersed in this field for hundreds of years. He had seen all kinds of authors and all kinds of books.
He knew very well what it meant to be a world apart. Although this kid had some achievements in the world of deception, it did not mean that he could write a good book. These were two different fields.
However, he did not immediately criticize it. He wanted to take a good look at what was written before deciding.
If it really did not make sense, he would still suggest that the kid use a gunman. No matter what, he could not screw up this big deal.
When he opened the book, he immediately saw a clear title. The First Stratagem of Deception: Beauty Trap!
'Good heavens!'
Germa was stunned because it described in detail how to use a beauty to deceive others.
As the saying went, "Seduction is like a knife on top of your head." The ancients had also said that seduction was the root of human nature. Perhaps some ascetics could get rid of it, but most life forms could not.
The beauty trap was a method of deceiving people using this instinct.
For example, it used some men's desire to hunt for women as the source. To put it simply, it was love.
How could a normal man resist a beautiful woman throwing herself at him?
Hence, when the beauty brought the man somewhere and was about to do something shameful, the beauty's accomplice would suddenly appear in front of him.
In order to not let the matter spread, or to protect himself, the seductive man would give his money to the pair of accomplices, and they would achieve the goal of extortion.
Of course, this was just a low-level use of the beauty trap.
What was even more impressive was that the beauty found a very rich old man and threw herself at him. Then, she quickly married him.
In less than half a year, the beauty found an opportunity to divorce the other party. In the end, according to the marriage law, half of the property was given away. At that time, both the person and the money were gone.
If the other party was even more ruthless, he could secretly poison the other party to death. When that happened, all the property would be hers.
This was a scam. Not only did she want money, but she also wanted his life.
"Amazing."
Germa had goosebumps all over his body. He had never thought that there would be such a sinister scheme in this world. If that was the case, would the word of those beautiful women still exist in this world? Don't tell me they're here for my money?
He asked himself, if a beautiful woman suddenly threw herself into his arms, as a healthy man, he wouldn't be able to resist. He wouldn't be able to control his lower body at all.
However, if he did that, he would fall into someone else's trap. When the time came, he would lose both his money and his life. Suddenly, he felt that the world was full of evil, and the basic trust between people was gone.
"The sixteenth trick of deception!"
Guillerma continued to watch. If he wanted to achieve his goal of deception, he could not be overbearing and take advantage of the other party's arrogance. He had to first give the other party some benefits to make the other party lower their guard.
After gaining the other party's trust, he would then proceed to deceive them. This was usually successful in every endeavor.
It was like the financial pyramid scheme in today's society. Some fund managers would brag that as long as one invested in their fund, they could earn 5% interest every month. They could earn 60% in a year and double it in two years. They could buy a house in three years and buy a plane in four years.
At first, some people didn't believe it. However, when the first month's interest was received, the second month's interest was received, and the third month's interest was also received. Slowly, people started to believe it.
At that time, not only did he invest, but he also pulled his family and friends to invest. He was completely crazy and fell into the dream of realizing his wealth freedom in two years and buying a car and a house.
Little did he know that a few months later, the scammer would have already closed the net and run away with all the money.
Back then, you were interested in the interest, but the scammer was interested in your capital. At that time, it was too late for you to cry.
This was the brilliance of playing hard to get.
This kind of human greed had always been present since ancient times. It had never changed and would always appear.
"The thirty-fourth trick of deception, the trick of injuring oneself to gain sympathy."
Guillerma continued to watch. This trick was very simple. It was to deliberately use a tragic experience to gain sympathy from others.
The simpler way was to become a beggar, using their handicapped body and tragic experience to gain sympathy from others. In this way, they would receive a large amount of money.
During festivals, such people would often appear on the streets and alleys.
The more complicated way was to set up a welfare fund. With the excuse of helping the many people in difficulty, they would raise funds from the public and hope that rich people from all walks of life would donate.
When the money entered their pockets, what they wanted to do was their internal affairs. No one would know.
"Brilliant. This is really brilliant."
Guillerma felt chills all over his body. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead. This was not as simple as a book. It directly pointed out the weaknesses of human nature. The whole book showed the common characteristics of life: arrogance, jealousy, greed, gluttony, rage, reaping without sowing, lust, and so on.
In fact, the so-called deception was a method of using human weakness to deceive others.
"Master, you really are a master."
Guillerma was full of admiration. Without years of experience in deceiving, grandmaster-like methods, and demon-like wisdom, how could one write such a book?
This was no longer as simple as a book. It was basically a work of art, a masterpiece!
Previously, he had looked down on the other party and thought that he could not write anything. But now that he looked at it, how could the gunmen under him compare? Every line and column contained a broad and profound theory of deception. It made one's whole body tremble.
"You're too polite. It's not worth mentioning. It's just some insignificant advantages."
Xia Ping said modestly. The reason why he could write this book was because he stood on the shoulders of giants. He had the shocking works from his previous life. It was the basis of the 36 stratagems of the military.
In fact, the 36 stratagems were not as simple as military thinking. They could be raised to the height of philosophy. They were suitable for all walks of life. In his previous life, many big shots treated it as a treasure book. Every time they read it, they would receive great inspiration.
Applying this kind of thinking to trickery was just a small test of his abilities.
"Master, you can't be deceiving me now, right? Are you eyeing the shares of our Universe Book Media Company? To be honest, I don't have much money on me. I'm so poor that my pants are falling off. Please don't set your sights on me. "
Guillerma looked at Xia Ping guiltily. After reading this book, he respected Xia Ping as if he was a god. This guy was definitely a master in the world of deceiving, the kind that had reached perfection.
Maybe with just a few words, he would be able to deceive him completely. To be honest, staying together with such a super swindler gave him great psychological pressure.
Only now did he feel afraid. What kind of terrifying person was he staying together with? His identity as the person in charge of the Universe Book Media Company in the Flowing Cloud Star Region did not give him a sense of security.
On the contrary, a person like him would be targeted by a swindler. After all, which swindler would target a poor person?
