Chapter 3 The Vanished Lighter



"Damn humans, I'd rather die than submit."

The delivery monster glared angrily at Xia Tianqiong, refusing to submit despite the power of the rules tearing at its body.

"Heh, pretty tough. Then go die, you can help me complete an experiment."

Xia Tianqiong took out another folded paper ingot from her pocket.

Only one was burned; one remains.

At this point, he took it apart, bit his finger, and used his blood to draw some kind of complex and strange runes on the back before folding it back into the shape of a gold ingot.

He held the silver ingot and slowly approached the delivery ghost.

The torn-off Netherworld power seemed to be attracted and surged into the gold ingot.

The paper ingots began to develop a metallic luster and gradually gained weight.

As the power of the underworld continued to flow in, the silver ingot became heavier and heavier, and its size also increased.

The delivery guy stared at the scene before him, his mouth agape and his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"This...this is a forbidden technique from the legends of the Ghost Realm?"

"Mind your own business. If you're unwilling to sign the contract, then go die. Once you're dead, I can turn you into ghost money."

Xia Tianqiong was overjoyed.

It was his first time trying this, and he didn't expect it to actually work.

In his previous life, he heard a clue about this homemade ghost money from a strange person and went to investigate.

As a result, they entered a strange scene and secretly witnessed this method of making ghost money.

Unfortunately, they were unable to escape and were killed by the powerful and eerie creature within.

It could be said that Xia Tianqiong lost her life because of this method.

Unlike burning paper money or ingots, which depletes a person's energy and spirit, this method does not cause any harm to the human body.

No ceremony or burning of paper money is required. Simply draw complex runes with your own blood, and it will automatically absorb the netherworld power emanating from the strange creature, thus transforming it into ghost money.

The silver ingot in Xia Tianqiong's hand gradually grew from the size of a thumb to the size of a fist, and it continued to grow larger.

I couldn't even hold it steady with one hand, so I quickly held it with both hands.

The delivery guy finally regretted it.

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly pleaded, "Brother, I was wrong. I'm willing to sign an equal contract with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Tianqiong felt a strange aura surrounding him.

He knew this was the power of the contract.

Now, as long as you give a positive answer, the contract can be completed smoothly.

But he shook his head.

He shifted his gaze from the gold ingot to the delivery ghost, saying, "If you had agreed earlier, I would have signed an equal contract with you. But now, I only accept contracts with human masters."

"you……"

The delivery guy was furious and wanted to curse, but he didn't dare to say it.

There are three types of contracts that can be signed between the supernatural and humans: human-master contracts, supernatural-master contracts, and equal contracts.

You can understand what it means just by hearing the name.

The Human-Master Contract is a contract in which humans are the masters and the supernatural are the servants.

Humans can use bizarre abilities at any time without paying any price.

A single sentence can decide the life or death of a supernatural being; if a human dies, the supernatural being dies as well.

The Contract of the Demon Lord is the exact opposite, with the demons as masters and humans as servants.

The Weird can freely extract human lifespan or soul, without being bound by any rules.

As for the equal contract, it's more like an employment contract.

Humans coexist with the supernatural on an equal footing, but humans must pay a price for using supernatural abilities, such as lifespan, soul, or ghost money.

Even if something is strange, it shouldn't harm the employer; on the contrary, it should provide some protection.

"You don't have much time left, make a decision quickly!"

As Xia Tianqiong held the ever-growing amount of silver, she couldn't help but offer a reminder.

As the power of the rules tore at the creature, the food delivery ghost's body became fainter and smaller.

Perhaps in the next instant, it will suddenly shatter.

But it was still struggling and hesitant inside.

To acknowledge this human being as one's master would mean losing one's freedom and the right to life and death.

This was a considerable humiliation for the supernatural.

The delivery monster was unwilling to accept its fate. It had only been in this world for one day and had not even tasted human food yet, but it had become human prey. How could it be so unlucky?

Staring at the ever-growing amount of silver in Xia Tianqiong's hand, a thought suddenly struck him.

This person possesses the forbidden art of making ghost money. Following him would ensure you'd never lack ghost money in the future, and it might be a good choice.

After some self-consolation, I finally made a decision.

"I submit. I am willing to sign the Human Lord Contract with you."

Xia Tianqiong laughed heartily, his goal finally achieved. "Let's sign a master-servant contract. I will be the master, and you will be the servant."

He really couldn't bear to let the delivery guy die.

Although the delivery ghost is very weak, being the lowest level of ghost, the two tricks it possesses are extremely useful.

One called "Netherworld Delivery" uses the Netherworld power of the delivery ghost itself to condense various kinds of food.

Long-term consumption can slow down aging, gradually increase lifespan, and keep one in a state of high energy, resisting some strange and confusing influences.

However, if too much is consumed in a short period of time, it may be transformed into something strange by the power of the underworld.

Another trick is called "Door Opening Trick," which is the ability the delivery guy used when he opened the door earlier. The advantage is that it can open any door remotely, whether it's locked or not; the disadvantage is that it only works on objects like "doors."

Neither of these tricks has much offensive power, but they are very useful in the post-apocalyptic world.

After Xia Tianqiong signed a contract with the delivery ghost, the power of the rules disappeared.

The delivery ghost's body, now noticeably smaller, transformed into a wisp of light and drifted into Xia Tianqiong's body.

"Owner."
