Chapter 322: Monster Nest Island
From the expressions of the two men, Xu Zhiyan anticipated that there might be significant problems with the remaining half of the contract.
But when he actually saw the contents of the contract, he still couldn't hide his shock.
Holding a piece of specially treated paper that was as thin as a cicada's wing, Xu Zhiyan read out the contents aloud, his voice rising.
"For every hour the signatory delays after signing, the payment amount will increase by 500,000 points, with a cap of ten days... Damn, twelve million a day, you really dare to ask for that."
When he used Dr. Bai to blackmail the main system, he didn't dare to mention such an outrageous price.
Perhaps the owner of the prop could not suppress the shock in his heart, and the Immaculate Virgin, who was standing next to the two of them as an attacking weapon, raised her hand and slapped Zhou Deyi on the head.
“Bang!”
The man was dazzled by the slap, but due to the overwhelming firepower, he dared not say anything.
"This is too much." Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips, muttering to himself as he looked down: "What if I can't take it out--"
The sound stopped abruptly.
After reading several rows of things that looked like confidentiality clauses, Xu Zhiyan found the answer.
"If the repayment cannot be made on time, the signatory can use the props as collateral... You two are quite ambitious, aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"
It was no secret that Xu Zhiyan himself was not good but he was good at props. After a little thought, he actually felt that it seemed reasonable that these two people came for his props.
The audience in the live broadcast room had already dropped their jaws.
[More than 10 million a day, 100 million in 10 days! Even a small millionaire can’t come up with that much money!!!]
【Ahhhhhhhh how dare they? 】
[To be honest, I thought before that he couldn’t afford a small million, but after watching Shiva just now, I think he can really afford it…]
[Gah! So how much is this war machine worth? I really want to own it! ]
[Get, get hundreds of millions of points? ]
[I advise you to stop dreaming. Mermaid blood carries the power of rules, and it has always been sold at a very high price at auctions. A tracking bullet costs 90,000 points. He even used handheld weapons. There is no reason why Shiva's ammunition should not be coated.]
[I can't believe how many mermaids Xiao Baiwan killed to get so much mermaid blood to make the outer coating of the ammunition! ]
[Fuck that mermaid killer! ]
[Hey, hey, hey, the problem now is clearly a yin-yang contract! This is too scary! ]
On the other side, Xu Zhiyan stroked his chin and continued reading.
"On this basis, the signatory can choose to use the guild as collateral. Tsk, how cheap. So this document was drafted specifically for me?"
Xu Zhiyan laughed out of anger, and there was no smile in his eyes when he looked at the two of them, only disgust and confusion.
This clause exploits a system loophole.
According to the current guild rules, only the president can transfer guild rights, but this contract does not even let his guild go.
No, that's not right...
After frowning and thinking for a while, he noticed some loopholes.
[The guild can deduct 3000w points debt.]
It's strange. The most valuable thing in the guild is the backpack. It takes 20 million points to open one. The value of the guild in this contract is half higher than the original price. It's unbelievable.
He himself is far more valuable than the guild. He can just use the guild as collateral and build another one.
The things in the guild warehouse can be taken away, and the people can follow him, so what is the use of an empty guild shell?
"This clause is weird. Why do you want my guild?"
With his arms folded, he leaned against the shell of the ammunition depot. Quite a lot of time had passed, and Xu Zhiyan felt a little hungry due to his hunger. However, he planned to finish off the two people in one go. After asking, he simply took out the cold roasted rabbit leg, took a bite, and started chewing.
The roasted rabbit that the man’s mother specially prepared to be eaten cold tasted pretty good.
With food to fill his stomach, Xu Zhiyan's mood finally improved.
Zhou Deyi and Lin Ju were also hungry.
Unlike Xu Zhiyan who had ample supplies, they had been looking for food since the weather turned cold. Although they could have a hot meal with Lin Ju's flames, the food roasted by the skills was difficult to swallow.
Now, the faint smell of seasoning wafted over along with the aroma of meat, and the two began to secrete saliva in their mouths.
But none of them said anything.
When they were forced to hand over the other half of the contract under pressure, they knew that Xu Zhiyan would not let them go easily.
Damn it... I don't know how to explain to the people in the guild after I get out.
The two of them were silent, like two silent stones.
Xu Zhiyan was not in a hurry. After finishing the roast rabbit, he took out a can of luncheon meat, opened it, and started eating it with a spoon with relish.
This meal took more than half an hour.
The only aroma left in the heavy air was the smell of meat.
The most annoying thing is that after Xu Zhiyan finished eating, he touched his belly and kept mumbling.
"It's not a good idea to eat meat every day. I have to find Dou Hongshan to grow some vegetables..." He pursued a balanced diet in the survival copy.
The two people opposite remained silent, swallowing madly.
Hearing the deafening stomach growls from the other side, Xu Zhiyan knew that the two of them had probably reached the limit of hunger.
"Although I have said that I will charge ten times the compensation for this half of the contract, this is too much. Even if I sell both of you separately, it won't be enough..."
Xu Zhiyan sighed, his voice sounding a bit regretful. What's wrong with this group of people? They always give him problems every day.
"Let's talk about the guild first. Who wants to use the krypton gold to change his fate?"
He understood the request for money, the request for props, and even the various confidentiality agreements and the treaty for asking questions.
But Xu Zhiyan thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what the other party wanted his guild for.
“Pah—”
The Immaculate Heart of the Virgin then took the initiative and slapped the two men again.
The two dared to be angry but not to speak.
The extreme state of hunger formed a sharp contrast with the young man in front of him who had just finished eating and was wiping his hands elegantly.
Lin Ju's eyes turned red as he felt his sanity being eaten away bit by bit by gastric juice. This couldn't go on any longer. His gradually shutting down brain made his fear disappear a little.
Zhou Deyi glanced at his teammates and quietly took half a step back.
The situation is very unfavorable for him now. If Lin Ju is willing to attack, he might be able to take the opportunity to escape.
But before the two of them could do anything, Xu Zhiyan took out more food.
"Alas, I am too kind-hearted."
"If you are willing to tell me the purpose behind this contract, I can provide you with some food. As for the other half of the contract compensation... just double the 6.5 million. If you don't have it, you can use props to compensate."
He is such a good man.
Now exactly one hour has passed, it is totally unreasonable for him to ask for double the compensation.
"Brother Longhu, are you hungry? Assuming I sign, if a copy is released, I will definitely choose to sell the guild to offset the 30 million debt, so who wants to take over?"
Knowing that Zhou Deyi was more determined, Xu Zhiyan threw the question to Lin Ju.
"Just tell me who wants my guild, and I can provide you with some food... I advise you not to think about attacking. Look down at your position. Your teammates are waiting for you to rush up and attack me, but they will run away."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ju subconsciously turned to look at his partner.
His hungry and rusty brain finally started to work, and his expression became even uglier.
Zhou Deyi didn't care about his little trick being exposed. He warned with a cold face: "Lin Ju, think carefully. If you say anything, be careful that the people in the guild will kill you when you leave the dungeon-"
It’s a pity that before he could finish his words, Xu Zhiyan naturally continued with this sentence.
"Kicking you out of the guild is just the right thing to do. Look at what a crappy guild you are. You knew that when the people from the Utopia designated the guild to do a dungeon, there would be 80% chance of front-line players showing up, but you still sent you in."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is too miserable! Normally the president gets the benefits and everyone treats him with respect, but in the end, the risky things are left to the people below..."
He spoke with real emotion, and then he started to brag about himself.
"Look at our guild again!"
"I'll come if there's anything I can do. I'll never let my friends in the guild be cannon fodder! How about that? Isn't it clear who's better?"
Seeing Zhou Deyi's face flushed red and he wanted to say something, Xu Zhiyan waved his hand and said sarcastically, "Don't try to clean it up. You can't clean it up. Think about why you are standing here. Do you like to be cannon fodder?"
Zhou Deyi was also confused by these words. Not only the Ghost Alliance, but all the other designated guilds were stepped on this time.
Xu Zhiyan’s last words became the straw that broke the camel’s back.
"Cen Jinyue is slaughtering players on the island. Do you think you can escape? If you are not familiar with him, then I suggest you find a safe place to stay."
After listening to it, the audience in the live broadcast room gradually came to their senses.
[Indeed! The Utopia has designated a total of eight guilds, and only the Krypton Gold Change Fate Guild has the president and vice president. The remaining seven guilds basically have people who are not particularly strong, and there is not even a vice president...]
[Xiao Baiwan is a good person. He really helps when something happens. 】
[Alas, from this point of view, Xiao Baiwan is indeed a conscientious and good president. I won’t say anything more. I’m going to submit my application for membership! ]
But what was unexpected was that the person who finally told the story was not Lin Ju, but Zhou Deyi.
He took out a prop that could block the sound from the live broadcast room and threw it on the ground, staring at Xu Zhiyan's expression with great concentration.
No more bargaining.
"We agree to all your conditions."
Xu Zhiyan loves money. Although paying another 6.5 million points would basically empty the couple's family savings and they would have to mortgage several items, who wants to die when they can live?
"I can tell you the information you want. We will quit the Ghost Alliance after we leave the dungeon and stay out of the spotlight for a while... So you have a safe place to stay on the island, right? And we need to buy some props from you to change your appearance."
Zhou Deyi's speech speed gradually became faster, and he expressed the judgment he made after careful consideration.
In fact, when the inside story of the contract was exposed, he realized that something was wrong. He didn't know what he would have to go through after the copy was released, so he might as well go all out and be a fence-sitter to the end!
"No problem." Xu Zhiyan replied.
He had just been worried that two people wouldn't be able to knit 400 scarves, so it would be great to have two more helpers.
Seeing Xu Zhiyan nod, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, pushed his glasses and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"The contract is tailor-made for you. Many people in the Ghost Alliance have a copy. You don't have to look at me in shock. The treaty I wrote is normal enough... It's better than those who sign a slave contract right away!"
It’s not that no one has ever risked writing a slave contract on the other half of a contract, but this kind of content signed with the soul must be reflected on the homepage.
Xu Zhiyan is not a fool. If there is a problem with the contract, he will definitely notice it, so Zhou Deyi only chose the safest option.
He thought that he was only after money and not life, so if he turned against them now, he wouldn't be retaliated against too badly.
As expected, although Xu Zhiyan frowned, he didn't say much. Instead, he raised his chin to signal him to continue.
The initial cooperation was achieved, which eased Zhou Deyi's mood a little.
Lin Ju, who was standing by, saw that his teammates did not retreat, but instead took a few steps forward and stood in front of him. The vague uneasiness in his heart was relieved a lot.
Zhou Deyi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then slowly told more stories.
"The question that needs to be asked is the anonymous identity, but the reward is written in great detail. If you cannot reveal the anonymous identity during the questioning, then your guild will be reclaimed and everyone in the guild will be investigated...even the source of every item."
The questioner thought of all aspects.
It even assumed that "Anonymous was always communicating with Xu Zhiyan using a pseudonym."
Even if Xu Zhiyan himself does not know the detailed identity of the anonymous person, as long as he gets the guild, he will definitely be able to find some clues through the information inside and the props circulating in the guild.
After all, everyone knows about the anonymous gift to Xu Zhiyan.
Now it was Xu Zhiyan's turn to be confused.
“Is an anonymous identity so valuable?”
Damn it! If this issue really couldn't be made public, he would have wanted to sell the information about ghosts and gods and make a fortune!
After a while, he licked his lips and asked in confusion.
"Who is the one who offered the reward to me?"
Who on earth wants anonymous information so much that he is willing to spend a lot of money and go through a lot of trouble to offer a reward for it?
Zhou Deyi said a name that confused Xu Zhiyan.
"Cen Jinyue, the person who offered you a bounty is in the dungeon..." His expression was a little strange, as if he had thought of something strange.
"The name of this bounty is very special."
“It’s called Butterfly Hunting.”
Xu Zhiyan felt like he had heard it wrong, and smiled subconsciously: "Does this butterfly refer to anonymity?"
It was really hard for him not to laugh when he thought about ghosts and gods being compared to butterflies!
"It's you."
Zhou Deyi replied.
"He called you, the butterfly in the eye of the storm."
In the center of the storm, the innocent and naive flap their wings.
A fragile thing of beauty.
But when he glanced at the heavy weapons platforms around Xu Zhiyan, he felt that Cen Jinyue's analogy was inappropriate.
It's beautiful indeed, but how the hell can there be such a hardcore butterfly? !
