[Dundun Beast]: ......
[DunDun Beast]: So what do you want?
Yu Xiangnan's smile widened: "It's very simple. Since this is a game, there must be something like a contract, right?"
“I’m a very insecure person and I don’t trust verbal promises, so you have to do something to prove that you will help me find the body before I can give you the canned meat.”
[DunDun Beast]: Contract?
The Dundun Beast fell silent again.
Yu Xiangnan was well aware that there were "contracts" in survival games.
In addition to contracts, there are four types of contracts currently known in the game: the Equality Contract, the Master-Servant Contract, the Symbiosis Contract, and the Guardian Contract.
These contracts can only be established between players and NPCs; players cannot enter into contracts with each other.
After all, this special relationship would disrupt the original balance of the survival game.
Seeing Yu Xiangnan holding up the can of meat and about to leave, Dundun Beast immediately raised its short legs and blocked Yu Xiangnan's way.
It seems they've made up their minds.
[DunDun Beast]: Okay, I promise you!
[Dundun Beast]: We can sign an equal contract.
Yu Xiangnan then stopped and looked down at it, "Two corpses and a can of fast food."
During the preparation period, she bought the goods by the case, so a case of 48 cans of luncheon meat only took up one card slot.
We can't finish it, we simply can't finish it.
[DunDun Beast]: One corpse per can of meat, right? Where did all those corpses come from?
Yu Xiangnan resolutely refused: "No, I'll leave if you don't accept it."
[DunDun Beast]: No way, how about 1.5 per can?
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
What a cruel dog! In order to bargain, it actually tried to cut the player's corpse in two.
Dundun Beast himself felt that what he said was a bit outrageous.
It was also afraid of angering Yu Xiangnan, which would cause the canned meat it had obtained to disappear into thin air, so it gritted its teeth and decided to compromise.
【DunDunBeast】retracted a message.
[DunDun Beast]: Two is fine.
A notification popped up, this time in a semi-transparent orange color.
[Tip]: [DunDun Beast] (ID: 099) has initiated an [Equal Contract] with you. The contract states that you must help the player find corpses. For every two corpses found, the player must give you a can of luncheon meat. At the same time, neither party can harm the other. Those who violate the contract will be severely punished.
Contract duration: one year (Note that once the contract is entered into, it cannot be revoked).
Do you agree?
【whether】
Yu Xiangnan was somewhat surprised.
She never expected that this dungun beast would be willing to sign a one-year equal contract with her.
No wonder it's so tempting... canned luncheon meat.
Yu Xiangnan pressed the "Yes" button.
The next instant, complex patterns appeared beneath the feet of the man and the beast. These patterns spread rapidly, enveloping Yu Xiangnan and the Dundun Beast.
A dazzling light rose from the patterns. Then, the light gradually subsided, transforming into countless tiny points of light, which, like stars, disappeared into the bodies of Yu Xiangnan and the Dundun Beast.
[Note]: Congratulations to player Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00) for completing an equal contract with [Dundun Beast] (ID: 099).
Yu Xiangnan kept his word and handed the can of luncheon meat to Dundun Beast.
The Dundun Beast pawed at the ground, its whole body leaning slightly forward like an arrow about to be released from a bow. Seeing her put down the luncheon meat can, it immediately began to eat happily.
But Yu Xiangnan was carrying a small, broken shovel, seemingly searching for something.
The beast Dundun looked up at her, puzzled.
[DunDun Beast]: Do you have a place to stay temporarily? I'll go back with you now.
Yu Xiangnan shook his head. "Wait a minute, why don't you eat your canned food over there and keep watch for me while you're at it."
[DunDun Beast]: Oh... what are you going to do?
"Dig a hole and bury the body."
As soon as she said those words, Yu Xiangnan could feel that the way Dundun Beast looked at her had changed.
......
After digging the pit, Yu Xiangnan didn't rush to fill it in. After all, since Dundun Beast had eaten her luncheon meat can, she had to find the two corpses as soon as possible.
After a quick dinner, Yu Xiangnan looked up and saw that it was almost completely dark outside.
She then turned her gaze to the Dundun Beast beside her, which was fast asleep after eating and drinking its fill, and a sense of disbelief welled up in her heart.
How did she manage to lure the NPC back like that?
However, she didn't eat the canned meat for nothing.
Shelters do not keep idle dogs.
Yu Xiangnan ruthlessly woke up Dundun Beast. At this moment, Dundun Beast exuded the resentment unique to working people, and reluctantly opened its eyes.
"By the way, what's your name?"
【DunDun Beast】: Foolish humans, can't you even read?
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
Although it's just a piece of text, its sarcastic tone is off the charts.
Yu Xiangnan was speechless: "There can't be only one Dundun Beast in this game, right? Since we signed a contract, we need a name for each other for our future cooperation, right? How about I call you Big Yellow? Laifu? Tiezhu? Gou Dan...?"
[DunDun Beast]: No!!! Do you think I'm a dog?!
"What's it called?"
Dundun Beast was silent for a while, whether because it was still sleepy or thinking, it was hard to tell.
【Dundun Beast】：Bula......
As it spoke, the [Dundun Beast] icon in the message interface automatically changed to [Bula].
Yu Xiangnan nodded.
Bula seemed to be in a better mood and began searching for the player's corpse for Yu Xiangnan. It squinted, intently distinguishing various scents, its nose twitching incessantly like a precise detector.
Its round body moves nimbly through the mountains and forests, and its little tail wags with its movements.
Soon, Bula suddenly stopped.
Yu Xiangnan was cautiously exploring her surroundings when, in the instant Bula stopped, her gaze was drawn to an object beneath a tree in the distance...
A player's corpse!
First came surprise, then a sense of vigilance arose in his heart. Yu Xiangnan picked up Bula, took out an invisibility cloak, wrapped himself and Bula in it, and hid.
Bula was startled and moved a couple of times before giving up and stopping struggling.
[Bula]: Is it necessary to be so cautious?
[Yu Xiangnan]: Of course, how do you think these corpses were produced? It can't be that the players choked to death on their own saliva, right?
[Bula]: That's possible.
[Bula]: It could also be death from holding in urine, overeating, tripping and falling while climbing stairs, biting one's tongue while eating chocolate and bleeding to death, or even a heart attack triggered by excessive excitement upon seeing a cute puppy...
[Yu Xiangnan]: ......
He fell silent, speechless.
