“They may not be cultists, but their actions and behavior are even more radical and fanatical than cultists!”
At that moment, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair appeared to have a realization, but their expressions remained puzzled. They asked, “What are you talking about? What deceiver, gods, manipulation? Why do we have trouble understanding some of it?”
“And there’s talk of god-killing or something, which makes me a little scared…”
Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair were really confused. Wasn’t it just said that Uncle Luo only revealed the information?
How did it suddenly turn to gods? And what is this deceiver thing?
They had a thousand questions in their minds.
Ji Chen glanced at the two Monkey Gifts. It seemed that they really didn’t know about these things. They were just diligent in making money through commissions and selling information, and they liked to hang out in the Sixth Street.
He wasn’t particularly interested in bothering them.
He waved to let the Naga Berserker untie the two of them.
“This matter has nothing to do with you anymore. You can go now.”
The two of them were even more confused. Although they hadn’t completely figured out what had happened, seeing Luo Yang, who was still tied up, they looked at each other and begged for mercy.
“Mr. Zhao, there must be some misunderstanding between you and Uncle Luo. Please spare him!”
“Yes, if there’s anything Uncle Luo needs to compensate, we’re willing to compensate together!”
Seeing their appearance, Ji Chen’s impression of them improved slightly. He didn’t expect these two monkeys to have some backbone.
“Willing to compensate together?”
“Yes, anything.”
“Then you can both compensate with your lives.”
Upon hearing this, the two of them were stunned, their legs went weak, and they fell to the ground, crying out, “Isn’t that too much…”
Luo Yang also couldn’t help it and said, “You two stupid kids, go away, don’t worry about me.”
“No, Uncle Luo, if it weren’t for you taking us in when we arrived in this world, we would have starved to death on the streets. Now that you’re in trouble, how can we stand by and do nothing?” Although Monkey Gift was scared, he gritted his teeth and said, with tears shimmering in his eyes.
“Yes, since we came to this world, only you have been so good to us, like a father, how can we bear to leave you!” Monkey Gift Hair wiped away the tears, whether it was fear or reluctance, and said.
Luo Yang, who had always been calm, also felt a little moist in the corners of his eyes when he heard this.
He couldn’t help but sigh that these two silly kids were really good to him.
But then, he heard Monkey Gift say, “Uncle Luo, what the hell is this deceiver thing? It feels like some kind of pyramid scheme or cult. How can you have such poor judgment to join this kind of ghost organization?”
Luo Yang was speechless.
Okay, it turns out you guys didn’t understand anything just now.
Luo Yang wanted to say something, but Ji Chen, with an impatient expression, interrupted.
“That’s enough, now I’ll give you two choices.
First, Luo Yang has to pay the price. For the crime of leaking information, he will be sent to be executed by the Maple Principality for collaborating with the deceiver and passing information to the trolls.
And as for Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair, if you are willing to share the responsibility, you will forever be expelled from Maple City and Maple Harbor.” “We choose the second option!” Upon hearing Ji Chen’s words, the two Monkey Gifts immediately raised their hands and said.
They didn’t want Luo Yang to die, nor did they want to be expelled. Aside from the wild monsters in the wilderness, being exiled to the wilderness meant cutting off all tasks and commission sources in the city, which was a nightmare for them. More importantly, they would be unable to find their big sisters in the Sixth District.
Thinking of this, their resistance grew stronger, and they resolutely chose the second option.
Ji Chen looked at them, glanced at the silent Luo Yang, and then continued, “The second option is for Luo Yang to sign a master-servant contract with me, to be under my command, while the two of you act as if nothing happened.”
The two Monkey Gifts looked at each other, their faces showing some hesitation.
The master-servant contract was a special contract in this world.
It was rumored that the God of Contracts used a strand of world rules to establish the contract laws, and the master-servant contract was one of them. Judging by its name, it was clear that this was an extremely unequal contract, where the life of the servant would be controlled by the master.
Both parties who formed the contract would fulfill the terms of the contract in the presence of world rules and gods, or else they would face a terrible consequence – rejection by the world rules and exile to the void.
But what surprised Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair was that due to the involvement of world rules, this contract was on a whole different level. It could only be initiated by individuals with legendary professions or higher.
With this revelation, wasn’t Mr. Zhao, who appeared to be a profligate, actually a legendary expert or possibly even more powerful?
Looks could be deceiving!
Even Luo Yang was stunned.
Zhao Liangchen, played by Ji Chen, had an expressionless face. Suddenly, a terrifying aura swept over them, pressing down on them.
In a trance, it seemed as if a cataclysmic wave comparable to a natural disaster was rushing towards them.
Although Ji Chen withdrew his aura in three seconds, the terrifying breath still made them tremble, their gazes filled with horror.
For quite some time, they couldn’t speak.
“I’ll ask one last time, which one do you choose?”
Ji Chen’s indifferent words woke them up.
Luo Yang’s face kept changing as he struggled within. He looked at Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair, and finally gritted his teeth, saying, “1 choose the second option!”
Ji Chen nodded slowly.
He was well aware.
Killing Luo Yang didn’t bring him any benefits.
Luo Yang was just one of the pawns scattered by the Deceiver, and there were countless pawns like him.
Since the Deceiver could use him as a pawn, why couldn’t he?
Coincidentally, Luo Yang was an excellent opportunity for him to infiltrate the player community in Maple City.
As the largest gathering place for players in Maple City, the Cat Tail Tavern, where players’ intelligence was gathered, held an important position.
With Luo Yang, he would find it easier to monitor the actions of the players and manipulate them into doing other things.
He could even use Luo Yang to gather all the players in Maple City and build a player organization similar to the Player Alliance on King Kong Island. Behind the scenes, he would be the biggest beneficiary.
Pros without cons.
As his thoughts raced, Ji Chen stood up and, in front of everyone’s eyes, extended his right index finger to sketch in the air.
As he moved his index finger, a thick surge of mana poured out, and golden characters appeared in the air, exuding a mysterious and profound aura that left Luo Yang and the others wide-eyed.
Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Was this the kind of contract that only legendary and higher-level experts could construct?
Several minutes later, dozens of characters floated in the air. When the last character was completed, a force that seemed to come from the void descended from the sky and merged into the characters.
“Ding- The world rules have recognized the master-servant contract you have established.”
Ji Chen slowly lowered his hand and looked at Luo Yang.
The latter snapped back to reality, and after being untied, he gritted his teeth and also extended his finger to write his name on it.
The signature was completed.
The characters suspended in the air suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light and slowly dissipated.
But Ji Chen could feel that there seemed to be a new connection between him and Luo Yang, a feeling that he could control his life and death, and dominate him. As long as he wished, he could make him wish he were dead.
Luo Yang also felt this strange sensation. He had just signed the master-servant contract and had become a servant-like existence. At first, he felt a bit disheartened and defeated, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.
If he could stay alive, then living in this way was not unacceptable.
He looked up at Ji Chen, who had a carefree appearance in his memory but now exuded an aura of authority.
He recalled the series of resolute words and actions Ji Chen had just taken, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of strangeness.
Was this really the profligate he had seen before?
While he had suspected certain things, he couldn’t help but be amazed by the striking difference..
