Chapter 191: Contract Is My Body, Credibility Is My Life

Another three days passed and Chu Nan appeared at the Purple Cloud Planet branch of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he saw Chu Nan, Carlisle immediately took out a rare paper contract.

“Chu Nan, look. This is a fixed long-term experiment cooperation contract that the Chamber of Commerce has decided to provide you after some discussion. Compared to the verbal agreement between you and Director Yu Tingfeng, this contract is more formal and assuring. As long as you sign this contract, you can establish a long-term cooperative relationship with our Chamber of Commerce in the future. It’s more helpful in obtaining the reason for long-term stability.”

Chu Nan glanced at him and did not make any comments. Instead, he picked up the contract and carefully read it.

The reason why he was called over by Carlisle today was because he said that he had something important to discuss with him. He did not expect Carlisle to directly take out such a contract.

After reading it carefully, Chu Nan discovered that this contract was indeed very formal. Be it the format or the content, it was very detailed. It clearly marked that one of the two sides of the contract was Chu Nan and the other was the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.

This actually surprised Chu Nan.

The Noctem Chamber of Commerce was undoubtedly the top Chamber of Commerce in the entire Milky Way. It was extremely powerful and had countless branches.

Generally, even if an individual or a large Chamber of Commerce signed a contract agreement with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, the target would usually only be a branch or subsidiary. It was very difficult for the agreement to be directly signed by the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.

Logically speaking, it was already very good for an ordinary person like Chu Nan to be able to sign a contract with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s branch on the Purple Cloud Planet. Why was the target of this contract actually the Noctem Chamber of Commerce?

Did he have such a high value?

“Haha, isn’t this a good thing?” Hearing Chu Nan ask this question, Carlisle laughed.

Seeing that Chu Nan was still frowning in confusion, Carlisle thought for a moment and explained.

“In fact, it’s impossible for you to only sign the contract with our Purple Cloud Planet’s branch office. This is because the content of this contract concerns a project that the entire Chamber of Commerce needs to participate in. Just our Purple Cloud Planet’s branch office alone can’t deal with it.”

Chu Nan lowered his head to look at the contract in his hand and nodded.

The content of this contract was for Chu Nan to participate in a research project called “Martial Artist Behavior Theory Discussion” in the research center of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.

This project was directly under the Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s research institute, so it was naturally impossible for the Purple Cloud Planet’s branch office to complete it alone.

However, this still puzzled Chu Nan.

Although he was confident that with his powerful data ability, he was extremely special among all martial artists, what did this have to do with the research of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce? Was it worth it for the most important organization, the scientific research center, to directly sign an official contract with him?

In addition, what was this so-called “Martial Artist Behavior Theory Discussion” project?

The name sounded very strange and the research content was even more blurry. It only requested Chu Nan to accept some corresponding research when necessary but did not clearly tell him what research it was.

Could it be dangerous research?

“There’s no need to worry.” Seeing Chu Nan’s concern, Carlisle smiled and continued to explain, “Actually, the main research is similar to what we asked you to do previously. We just want to observe the physical reaction and changes of martial artists under different circumstances. It definitely won’t affect you. Look, it’s already marked very clearly on here. I guarantee that it won’t affect your body and mind negatively. On the contrary, in order to smoothly carry out the experiment, we’ll also do our best to ensure that your body and mind are sufficiently healthy.”

Chu Nan still frowned and did not answer. Carlisle could only take out his trump card.

“Credibility is the foundation of our Noctem Chamber of Commerce’s survival. The contract is even more important to us than our lives. I believe you should believe this.”

Chu Nan could not help but nod.

In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Milky Way, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had always placed “reputation first” and “contract first” as the highest creed. Under any circumstances, their first choice was to persist in enforcing the contract. No one doubted this.

6,300 years ago, a cross-spiral arm war that almost spread throughout the entire Milky Way erupted between the Declan Empire and the various countries of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance. At that time, the situation of the Declan Empire was worrying. Not only did they send all the Star-Grade Martial Artists to the battlefield, but even the royal family was forced to personally take action, but they were still unable to resist the attacks of the various countries of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance.

Under normal circumstances, the merchants who were pursuing benefits should choose to stand on the side at this moment and add insult to injury to the Declan Empire to earn greater benefits.

However, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce insisted on helping the Declan Empire because of a private agreement signed with the previous emperor of the Declan Empire. They jointly resisted the attacks of the various countries of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance and finally fought side by side, driving the fleets of the various countries of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance back to the Perseus Arm.

One had to know that at that time, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, not only were the Star-Grade Martial Artists only slightly inferior to the Declan Empire, but their technology level was also not much inferior to the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. Coupled with long-term planning and ample preparations, their strength was abnormally powerful.

On the other hand, the Declan Empire had just experienced an internal strife and was in a period of unrest. Its overall strength had been greatly damaged, so it was naturally unable to resist the attack of the Erehuana Military Treaty Alliance.

In this war, not only had the Declan Empire suffered heavy losses, even the Noctem Chamber of Commerce had suffered abnormally huge losses. They had even lost a total of 13 top-notch combined fleets. It could be said to be a serious injury.

It was also because of this war that the slogan “contract is my body, credibility is my life” shouted by the then president of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce during the most difficult period echoed throughout the entire Milky Way, causing everyone in all the countries in the Milky Way to deeply recognize the importance of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce on credibility and contracts.

Of course, ten years after the war ended, because the agreement between the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and the Declan Empire had passed the deadline, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce immediately turned against the Declan Empire and did some things that could not be completely ignored…

“Since you believe in the credibility of our Chamber of Commerce, what other doubts do you have about this contract?” Carlisle smiled and continued to persuade, “If you sign it, you’ll be a true partner of our Chamber of Commerce in the future. Not only can you enjoy the corresponding reward stipulated in the contract, you can also enjoy the various conveniences brought to you by our Chamber of Commerce. It’s much better than such a loose verbal agreement.”

Chu Nan lowered his head and looked at the contract. He pondered for a long time before suddenly shaking his head and pushing it back.

“There’s no need.”

Carlisle’s expression changed slightly. “Why?”

Chu Nan looked straight into Carlisle’s eyes and said seriously, “What I need is a cooperation agreement, not a slave contract.”
