"Wait, how much?"
"What's my interest rate, and how much do I owe now?"
Hearing the number Zhou Kui reported, Yun You was stunned.
She instinctively looked up and asked in disbelief, "I must not have heard it clearly. Could you repeat that?"
"34,000 Silver Cannon, what's so unclear about that?"
Zhou Kui pointed at the ledger casually, "If you don't believe it, take a look yourself... See if it's not clearly written in the ledger that the annual interest rate is 10,000%."
"Your principal was 4,000 Silver Cannon, after borrowing for more than a month, with principal and interest, it comes to 37,333. I even rounded it off for you, only charging 34,000."
Seeing Zhou Kui lying through his teeth, Yun You frowned slightly and leaned in to take a closer look at the ledger.
Sure enough, in the corner of the ledger, Yun You saw a line of small, pitch-black text, which read: Borrower Yun You, annual interest rate 10,000%...
But if you looked closely, you could see that the surface of the text was still smoking, as if it had been recently branded with a red-hot iron.
Yun You understood.
The Insect Gang never intended to collect debts in a normal way.
How much does the debtor need to repay... How much interest should be paid... It all depended on their mood.
Or rather, from the beginning, the Insect Gang had already decided which people could afford to repay, and which had to lose a part of their body.
And Yun You, in the eyes of these gang members, fell into that "must not be able to repay and then have a part of her body taken" category.
The little girl just couldn't understand what was so special about her body that it attracted the attention of the Insect Gang.
After all, the gang had high standards for the "quality of body parts."
Every human tissue Zhou Kui cut off had some unique beauty or characteristic.
Like the chef's hands, although calloused, their palmar muscles were unusually developed from years of holding pans, thick like a round bar of soap.
Or the female broadcaster's legs, although slightly high-tech, clearly having undergone cosmetic modification, they were still extremely beautiful, external conditions notwithstanding.
But Yun You... to be honest, she didn't think there was anything special about herself.
The only slightly unique feature might be her amber-red eyes.
Since she was little, her peculiar eyes had been seen as an ominous sign by other kids her age.
People often said that these were demon eyes, a mutated eye color from too much radiation exposure.
So later on, the little girl always grew her hair long, using bangs to cover her eyes.
Yet even so, she couldn't completely hide the piercing red glow in her eyes.
If the Insect Gang was after her eyes, Yun You could believe that.
Though judging by the way these people operated, since they already had another pair of blue eyes, they wouldn't dig out another extra pair.
They didn't have the habit of collecting duplicate body parts.
But if not for the eyes, what else could they be after?
Yun You slightly furrowed her brows, squinting in thought.
"Can't come up with the money?"
Zhou Kui touched the Mantis Blade on his arm and said coldly, "If you can't pay, then use something else to offset the debt..."
Saying this, he prepared to make a move.
"Ahem..."
But just then, the usually silent Qian Sanjin suddenly coughed, interrupting Zhou Kui's actions.
The latter was first stunned, but then immediately understood his boss's thoughts, feigning grandeur as he said to Yun You, "I'll give you a minute to gather the money. If you can't, don't blame us for taking action."
After that, he quickly ran to Qian Sanjin's side, put his ear close, and listened respectfully to his boss's opinion.
"Are you sure it's this girl?"
Qian Sanjin pointed at Yun You and asked somewhat puzzled, "She should only be sixteen, right? How did she become so skinny?"
"She has no figure, and her face... it's dirty, full of mud and grime, how can it look good?"
"Ah Kui, don't just find someone randomly and try to fool me. What we're doing now mustn't be sloppy; if she doesn't meet the criteria, we'll be in big trouble."
"Oh, come on... Boss, rest assured."
Zhou Kui shook his head, smiling as he explained, "Don't be fooled by her skinny appearance, lack of flesh, and the chaotic mess on her face. But once you clean off the mud on her face and slightly style her hair... I promise, she's absolutely a rare beauty in the making."
"Last time she borrowed money, she didn't have so much mud on her head and face. Although her hair was long, I saw half of her face."
"Trust me, Boss. At least among the women I've seen, there's no one who can compare to this girl, not even close... Her face is so beautiful that people wouldn't believe it without seeing it in person, and those gem-like red eyes... they're a rare treasure."
Saying this, Zhou Kui lowered his voice again, speaking mysteriously, "Moreover, what's most precious about this little lady is that she has no postnatal tech creations on her body. That face and body are entirely natural. You know how much such people are sought after by those upper-class dignitaries."
"Because such a healthy and extremely beautiful woman can often directly improve the inferior part of their family's genes, they might even start a small gang war for such a woman."
"Think about it, Boss. If I could present such a woman to the big wigs, then from now on, in the entire R region, which unsighted gang or cops would dare to provoke us?"
"By then, if you want to become the underground emperor of this area, it's probably just a word from the top."
Zhou Kui vividly illustrated.
The promising future he depicted truly moved Qian Sanjin.
Becoming an underground emperor of a region is every gang leader's wish.
They can't resist the feeling of being in control of others' lives.
The thrill brought by power is more exhilarating than any drug.
"Then... do as you said."
Qian Sanjin wiped the sweat from his palm, his heart full of excitement.
"But are you sure her heart is qualified?"
Out of caution, he asked again.
"Rest assured, absolutely qualified."
Zhou Kui rubbed his hands, smiled, and replied, "Don't be fooled by her fragile appearance. This kid's heart is actually beating powerfully."
"When she first came in, I tested her heart rate with the smart chip on my knife. Rock steady, steadier than those adults working in factories, definitely no problem."
"That's good."
Qian Sanjin was completely reassured.
"Then go ahead and extract her heart. Remember to use the ice blade cutting mode, and after cutting, immediately install an electronic heart, and sew it up with molecular needles, don't leave any scars, or the price will definitely be greatly reduced."
"Then quickly contact the buyer. If her appearance is truly as beautiful as you say, I think the upper-level big shots will soon contact us."
"Yes, Boss."
