Fei'er naturally saw this scene clearly as well. His wolf mouth was already twitching uncontrollably. Even if Kaopu discovered it, he didn't care about anything else.
She forcefully suppressed the reprimand that was about to spill out; now was not the time for a lesson. Fei'er simply chose to ignore it and find peace of mind.
Although Thanos caused Fil a lot of trouble, at least he heard that the reliable decision to switch the contract with him finally relieved Fil.
Now that he had already chosen to contract with Fei'er, he decided to act decisively and quickly, and to prevent himself from hesitating any longer, he immediately called Xu Ling over.
Xu Ling was in the second round of dog training when she saw that Kaobu called her. She could only say to the puppy with a little regret, "Thanos, I'll play with you later."
"Awoo~"
Thanos was disappointed, since the game had allowed him to eat food.
However, noticing the glare from Fei Er in the distance, he obediently stopped resisting.
"Reliable, what do you want me to do here?"
Xu Ling patted the breadcrumbs off her hands, her curious gaze shifting back and forth between Kaopu and the seated Moonlight Silver Wolf.
Remembering how the cub had just looked worried that its uncle had nothing to eat, Xu Ling immediately took out a piece of bread from her system inventory and stuffed it into the Moonlight Silver Wolf's mouth.
"You eat it!"
Before Kaopu could show his dissatisfaction, Xu Ling also took out one and handed it to Kaopu.
"Here you go, I also have reliable ones!"
Hmph, Xu Ling is smart enough to know her place!
Thinking it was reliable, Xu Ling ended up with the bread in her hand.
Fei'er was stunned, not expecting that Xu Ling would notice that she was starving.
With the bread stuffed in his mouth, Fei'er was speechless for a moment. He could only lower his head and quietly savor his first meal in the past few days.
On the other side, Kaopu was already talking about his plans while eating.
"So, you want me to sign a contract with Fei'er?" Xu Ling asked in a low voice.
The reliable man nodded: "I'm doing this for your own good. Once the contract is signed, Fei'er will be your contracted beast. If he has any improper thoughts towards you, you can teach him a lesson directly, and Fei'er won't be able to resist."
Secondly, the Moonlight Silver Wolf wouldn't dare covet the Tree of Life, so you don't need to worry about the Tree of Life.
Thirdly, the Moonlight Silver Wolf can also be your ally, helping you to defend yourself in times of danger.
Xu Ling suddenly realized, but she still had a question.
"But isn't Fei Er forbidden from using force?"
She remembered it clearly: Fei'er was practically useless now, and the snake venom was still lurking in his body, waiting to erupt one day!
Seeing Xu Ling's questioning expression, Kaopu immediately became smug. If it had legs, it might even twitch them a couple of times.
"So you should thank me for my foresight! What would you have done without me?"
Kaopu shook his head, looking like Xu Ling was beyond saving without it.
"I haven't said this yet, but actually, the plant essence emitted by the Tree of Life can suppress the Moonlight Silver Wolf's snake venom!"
"Wow, that's amazing!" Xu Ling exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course!" The reliable guy, with his nose in the air, glanced sideways at Xu Ling. "There must be a reason why the Tree of Life was designated as an SS-level treasure. There are many more amazing things to come!"
"Now you know how powerful I am! If I hadn't gotten this for you beforehand, you'd be nothing now!"
It has to be admitted that the Tree of Life is indeed worth more than its price. Xu Ling couldn't refute the smug and reliable person's words and could only nod.
"Yes, yes, you're the best!"
"If that's the case, how am I supposed to form a contract with Fei'er? Just so you know, I've never learned any contract techniques!"
Xu Ling told Kaopu in a serious tone that even if she had studied it, she didn't know if it would be applicable to this world.
"I never expected anything from you!" Kaopu said bluntly, never even considering that Xu Ling could be of any use. "Don't worry, the system shop has contract scrolls, you can just buy one!"
Then, Kaopu opened the system shop, found the contract scroll, pointed at it and said to Xu Ling, "Buy it. Luckily you still have some points to buy it."
Xu Ling looked up, then took two steps back and screamed.
"Why is it so expensive!"
She couldn't believe the price; it was going to bankrupt her!
The reliable person couldn't stand seeing Xu Ling looking so poor.
"This is expensive? It's already very cheap!"
Such a practical product at this price is practically a fire sale!
Xu Ling looked at the contract scroll information displayed on the data screen.
Name: Contract Scroll
Grade: A
Function: Able to enter into equal contracts with other creatures
All beings are equal; do not think that you can enslave others through contracts!
Required points
To celebrate the Spring Festival in the AI-driven society, this item is on special offer! Bring it home for just 500 points!
Xu Ling: ? ? ?
Honestly, isn't this just a reliable bug fix to trick her out of her last 500 points?
Xu Ling looked at Kaopu with a skeptical gaze.
The idea that it's reliable just seems inexplicable.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Hurry up and buy it!"
"Reliable, tell me honestly, did you secretly fix the bug again? If you did, I won't say anything, but why don't you make the contract scroll free?"
As Xu Ling spoke, she carefully observed Kao Pu's expression, trying to glean some clues from it.
Unfortunately, the reliable person showed no sign of guilt whatsoever, and even rolled their eyes at Xu Ling as they spoke.
"You're overthinking it. I already gave you a stern warning when I helped you change the price of the Tree of Life. I promised it wouldn't happen again. How could I knowingly break the rules?"
"Furthermore, did you completely miss the words written below: 'To celebrate the Spring Festival in the AI society, this item is on special sale'?"
It was precisely because of this Spring Festival in the AI society that Xu Ling didn't believe it.
She muttered to herself, "You AIs have a Spring Festival? Are you kidding me?"
I always felt that this was a plausible excuse he deliberately came up with to fix the bug, in order to avoid being noticed by his superiors.
What did you just say?
The reliable look in its eyes turned dangerous. Don't think that just because Xu Ling was speaking softly, it didn't hear her!
What's the meaning?
Can't AI celebrate holidays?
Is there no human rights left?
Fortunately, Xu Ling was perceptive enough to notice the awkward expression on Kaopu's face and immediately apologized, contradicting herself.
I spoke without thinking, just in a moment of impulse.
"Sorry, sorry, buddy, I misspoke, please don't be angry, I'm so sorry!"
Xu Ling even clasped her hands together and looked at Kaopu with a fawning expression.
Fortunately, the reliable person saw that she had given in and didn't continue to make things difficult for Xu Ling.
It snorted coldly.
"That's more like it!"
"You're lucky, you just happened to snag a bargain! This kind of opportunity is rare!"
"Place your order quickly!"
The reliable person urged her hurriedly, saying that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if Xu Ling wanted to buy it again, she would have to pay the original price for the contract scroll.
Although her heart was bleeding, Xu Ling resignedly pressed the buy button.
She definitely has to buy this now. She's worried about wasting 500 points if she doesn't buy it now, but she'll probably have to spend those points in the next second.
By then, how long will it take her to accumulate that many points!
Watching her points drop from 500 to 0, Xu Ling was on the verge of tears.
