Chapter 7 Maybe a deal [No - I'm not doing charity...
[No - I'm not doing charity. I won't make an unequal deal!]
Black Cat seriously rejected Li An's idea.
All right.
[How about an IOU? ]
The black cat did it reluctantly.
"It's a bit of a stretch, but I think we can try. But what kind of IOU do you want them to write?"
Good question, Li An herself doesn’t know either.
She decided to let them write.
She took out a new draft book and decided to use it as an IOU.
“Write down what you want and what you can give.”
*
Lin looked at the notebook.
She realized later that she had no brush, and there was nothing in sight that looked like she could use as paint.
She dropped her eyes.
Then he decisively bit his finger and wrote on the paper with blood.
I want...
What kind of writing is the safest?
Blood gathered at her fingertips, and before it dripped, Lin continued writing.
[——Tree roots in Nanxi Harbor]
As for what she could afford, those equipment engraved with secret patterns were definitely not enough.
Her soul cannot be written on it either.
In fact, Lin didn't think this "deal" would be reached.
Because she had lost this concept long ago.
But she didn't intend to disobey the reflection of God, so...
Lin hesitated for a moment.
[For this, I am willing to give away all the wealth of Cloud Business.]
The moment it was written, the paper spontaneously combusted without fire. The faint blue flame was not warm, but instead brought a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow.
She was startled and subconsciously let go of her hand.
The book floated in the air, but the page of paper gradually disappeared in the flames.
At the same time, a new concept suddenly appeared in Lin's mind.
"The Deal with Him"
No one has ever broken the rules of gain and loss of the secret patterns, and even gods have never heard of anything that can go against them.
Because the secret patterns are equivalent to the language of God, how can you break the rules of language?
But now she felt it.
So a little hope couldn't help but emerge.
She thought, maybe she could really get the tree roots?
The god stood not far away, watching her write down the terms of the deal.
The black cat standing at His feet said, "Deal done."
The creature that looked too human yet wasn't human smiled. "Once you get the tree root, you will lose all the wealth of the Cloud Trading Company."
Lin calmed down.
This result is not unacceptable, but can the wealth of the world really be compared with the power that is infinitely close to that of a god?
Black cats seem to have the power to see through people's hearts, but they definitely don't like to help people solve their problems.
It just turns to Shanju.
Its smile had a strange and inhuman feel, neither human nor strange.
"It's your turn."
It said excitedly, "Let me see what price you can pay for what you want."
Shanju reached out and caught the book floating in the air.
He didn't need to bite his fingers because he used too much force and the leaves had already cut his flesh.
The blood fell to the ground and disappeared silently.
His hands were covered in blood, and he even had to wipe some of them off before he could write.
What price can bring the dead back to life?
*
Li An took back the IOU.
"Didn't you say they couldn't afford the price? These are the prices they can pay right now."
Randomly excited, "That's because what they wrote wasn't what they wanted most."
"What they want most is something they can't pay for."
Whether it is the revival of concepts or the resurrection of the dead.
Even giving your soul may not necessarily balance the scales.
Apparently, the two animals also understood this and ignored the matter without any prior agreement.
Although it was an IOU and the energy value had not been received yet, Suibian was already excited.
A cloud-based business alone is a treasure of considerable value. The most important thing is not even the wealth itself, but the thoughts that humans have placed on the treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years.
This is much more valuable than the thought a god puts on the sacrifice!
Li An was confused: "So, why did the bird's wish be——"
"Let a tree grow well, free from insects, cold and heat, and flourish."
The black cat sneered. It always showed some of its original arrogance when dealing with other people's affairs.
"Humans are just that kind of creatures, so stupid that they can't even understand their own hearts, and yet they think that God's precepts are everything that cannot be disobeyed."
Li An pulled out a broom.
The black cat's fur suddenly stood up, and it teleported to a position where Li An couldn't reach it immediately.
"Wait, you said you wouldn't hit me!"
Li An curled her lips and said, "Go, clean up the studio, and I won't punish you."
He returned to the studio with a wronged look on his face, took out a rag and began to clean diligently.
"Don't leave a single piece of debris. If I find that you haven't cleaned up properly..."
It is profound and self-explanatory.
The black cat shuddered, "I will definitely work hard!"
"By the way, what did you disappear for before? Rolling in the mud?"
"No, I went out to make some extra money."
Because I didn't dare to face Li An and didn't know where to go, I simply went out to earn energy and relax.
Although I didn't make any money.

Not long ago.
The black cat suddenly appeared in front of President Lu.
Of course, President Lu immediately became alert.
One moment there's a god, and the next moment there's something that can deceive perception and break through the defense line.
No matter how you think about it, they came with bad intentions and it was premeditated.
The black cat crouched lazily on a stone.
"Don't think too much, it's too boring."
"Those two will be fine."
"As long as the deal is done, they will be able to come out."
President Lu frowned, "What deal?"
What about Na Lin? She had already abandoned this concept.
The black cat stretched out lazily out of boredom, paying no attention to President Deer's alertness.
"A deal is a deal. Use everything you have to exchange for what you want."
"As for your little apprentice...what does that matter?"
"The Secret Pattern Law cannot restrict that person."
President Lu has seen gods.
But that was a long time ago, and now this god has long since fallen.
But even during the heyday of that god, the secret pattern law was not reversed, otherwise it would not still be in the form of a deer now.
"How about it? Do you want to become human again?"
The black cat came forward, its eyes surprisingly bright, staring at its prey with vertical pupils.
"You feel it, right? No one around you remembers that you were once a human being. Only you remember it, but even so—"
"Even you yourself have begun to forget the very concept of being human."
The closer you get to the upper limit of the secret pattern's energy, the more the people around you will forget the concept it abandoned.
In the end, you are the only one who has to spend the rest of your life holding on to your past memories, without anyone understanding you.
President Lu remained unmoved.
If it had met this black cat when it had just lost the concept of human beings, perhaps it would really agree.
But it will not do that now, and the rest of its life and soul will be dedicated to more worthy causes.
"Like the one who saved this country?"
The black cat sees through people's hearts and speaks directly without beating around the bush.
It also knows that the deer before it—the former human—is now determined and unmoved.
"Why don't we make a bet?"
The black cat brought up another topic.
But President Lu said, "Why don't you return my students to me first, then I can gamble with you."
Black Cat said in disgust: "I told you, once we make a deal, they will come out on their own."
"If I can't trade what I want most, I can always trade the lesser desires."
"Okay, let me think about what the bet is."
"What if I don't want to bet with you?" President Lu intuitively felt that what the black cat was going to say next was definitely not what it wanted to hear.
The black cat curled its lips and its pupils erected.
"No—you don't have the power to deny me."
"How do you know without a fight?"
When Bai Lu said this, he had already started moving.
Spider webs fell from the sky.
*
"So you had a fight with the teacher." Li An pinched her nose speechlessly. No wonder she was covered in mud.
I feel that letting this guy out would be very harmful, as he would cause harm to others every day.
"So did you win?"
The black cat stood up: "Of course I won!"
Li An glanced at it, and it immediately lay down again, picking up the rag under its claws and continuing to wipe the floor.
"You can talk, but don't stop." She was cold and ruthless.
"What happened next? What was the bet?"
*
For the Black Cat, whose energy level is far from its peak, victory is not an easy thing.
However, although it is a demigod, it is a demigod from a higher-dimensional world, which is different from the god system of this world. It is completely overwhelming in terms of combat power.
Therefore, President Lu, who cannot defeat the gods of this world, certainly cannot defeat higher-level life forms.
...The black cat's power surpassed any god it had ever seen. So, what kind of being could have taken the students away? Was it simply taking them away for a trade?
The black cat jumped on the spot, feeling that his bones felt much lighter after a fight. It turned out that lying in the store every day was not a good thing.
"Don't worry about that. You won't lose any limbs, nor will you lose your soul and become a puppet."
"It's just His little hobby."
"Okay, okay, now it's time to talk about our bet."
President Lu didn't say anything. He just lay on the ground and watched the sun rise over the pole.
It's almost ten o'clock. I just felt the communicator ringing. Did you come looking for it because you couldn't contact Lin? I wonder what the situation is like over at the harbor.
Black Cat continued to speak to himself: "As for the content of the bet, it's about whether you will die on this road."
Could this path that you have chosen so firmly be the one that ultimately destroys you?
The black cat is not a demigod who is good at observing the future. He can only vaguely sense it, so he is inevitably curious.
The way we are walking now...
President Lu said without even looking up: "Then I'll bet."
The black cat was a little surprised. It teleported in front of the white deer and stretched out its claws to poke the deer's antlers.
Those jewels were also damaged quite a bit in the recent battle, and now they are finally not making so much noise.
"Then I'll bet you won't die."
"Where's the bet?" Bai Lu stood up shakily.
The black cat twitched its eyebrows. It really thought it would win.
"If I win, you will give me the body of that god."
The guy with the body of a deer and the heart of a human is so shameless.
"If I win."
"You must complete my unfinished journey without distortion or breach of contract."
The black cat stared at it for a long moment.
It said: "Deal done."
