Chapter 109: Persuasiveness



Du Yuqi smiled mysteriously and said:

"Boss Liang, this is an opportunity. I am giving it to you now. Do you know that your life trajectory is always parallel to the upper class? Do you know that because of my appearance, your life has a chance to connect with them? It is rare to have such an opportunity to change your destiny in life. Why don't you seize it?"

Liang Zhen's face suddenly looked as if someone had stuffed a ball of dog shit into his mouth. After a long while, he said:

"Thirty thousand!"

Du Yuqi thought about it, took a pen from the side, and quickly wrote a line of words:

"This is my new phone number. Call me when you figure it out, Boss Liang. Alexandre Dumas said that if someone is timid for a moment, he might let go of the bait that luck has extended to him at that moment! Also, the sooner you figure it out, the more time I have to prepare, and the higher the success rate of your plan will be."

After Du Yuqi finished speaking, he walked out laughing. He felt that Boss Liang would definitely call him, because he now felt that the famous aphorisms quoted by Boss Liang were so convincing.

The next morning, while attending class, Du Yuqi was distracted again. It was not because he was worried about Boss Liang's affairs, but because there was something that made him hesitant.

Strictly speaking, this matter is also related to the clown Moriarty.

At that time, in order to make Du Yuqi let him go, the clown Moriarty put forward four conditions. The first condition was to tell Du Yuqi all the information about Zhao Qiuyu, the second condition was to tell Du Yuqi the whereabouts of a powerful artifact, the Mind-Splitting Blade, the third condition was to give Du Yuqi a random enhancement scroll: The Resentment of Hearthstone, and the fourth condition was to give Du Yuqi the magical auxiliary equipment on his body: the Time Traveler's Eyeball.

After Du Yuqi returned to Earth, he carefully checked this powerful auxiliary equipment. Its properties were really quite good:

The eyeball of a time traveler.

Passive special effect: slightly improves the wearer's strength, intelligence, agility, and stamina. (This attribute will continue to improve as the equipment is strengthened.)

Negative passive special effect: This eyeball is gouged out from a living time traveler, and carries a strong resentment on it, causing the wearer to suffer the curse of the time traveler.

Active special effects: When using this equipment, an unstable time rift will be generated and the wearer will be sucked into it. The wearer can choose to leave at any time, but once leaving, he cannot re-enter. The duration of this time rift varies from three to fifteen minutes. After each use of this equipment, the time traveler's eyeball needs to be recharged, and the charging time is fifteen to twenty days.

At that time, the Joker created a space-time rift through the time traveler's eyeball and avoided the terrible engine explosion. It can be said that if it weren't for this thing, he would have been dead.

This attribute alone is priceless, not to mention the ability to enhance the wearer's own attributes? Du Yuqi tried wearing it, and it improved his strength, intelligence, agility, and stamina by about 15%, which is also quite impressive.

Of course, the shortcomings of this equipment are also obvious. The first is the negative passive effect: Curse of the Time Traveler. Although I don’t know what this thing is and there is no specific description, just think about the Joker. Every time I meet him, I am beaten half to death, so I know that this effect is still very reliable.

Moreover, as the name suggests, there is a chance that one might be cursed while traveling through the planes and something unexpected might happen. This would be a big problem. Du Yuqi herself often has to travel between the two worlds. Once something goes wrong in this process, it would be too late to cry.

Secondly, the cooldown time of Space-Time Rift is too long, which reduces its usability. If it were only available once a day, it would be equally fun to use it to dodge enemies.

The reason why Du Yuqi was so conflicted at this time was because of this auxiliary equipment: the time traveler's eyeball was actually also a very precious sacrifice!

That's right. After Du Yuqi returned to Earth, he found that as long as he kept this thing on his body, it would resonate with his sacrificial altar every once in a while. The altar would emerge on its own and then give a series of prompts. For example, when he was playing with the time traveler's eyeball now, the prompts were also transmitted continuously:

"You have obtained an item of the source of time, please sacrifice it quickly!"

"You have obtained an item of the source of time, please sacrifice it quickly!"

"You have obtained an item of the source of time, please sacrifice it quickly!"

Du Yuqi still remembers that when he sacrificed an item: the Scepter of Anubis, it was called a time coordinate item by the altar. As the name suggests, the God of Contract can obtain a relevant plane coordinate by taking this sacrifice, which will facilitate the God of Contract to expand believers.

The eyeball of the time traveler is called the source of time. Does that mean it is the source of the power of time? Can it enhance the power of the God of Contract? If so, then it is even more valuable.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Du Yuqi felt reluctant to give up. After all, the Time Rift skill was too practical, and the Joker might have used this skill to escape from being hunted down again and again. However, the existence of the curse effect made people feel like a thorn in their hearts.

However, something happened next that made Du Yuqi make up his mind. It turned out that after he summoned his own altar, he played with the eyeball of the time traveler in his hand. He was hesitant, but he found that as long as he got within ten centimeters of the altar, a series of information would appear:

"Tip: If you sacrifice the time traveler's eyeball to the God of Contract, you may gain some of the following permissions."

"Authorization A: Your Contract God believer level will be upgraded from Silver 1-star to Silver 4-star, and you can enjoy a series of privileges related to the Silver 4-star level."

"Permission B: You receive an additional six Holy Crowns."

"Authorization C: You are granted the title of 'Favored'. When you encounter something that may be disadvantageous to you during the summoning process, you will be warned in advance, and those who try to harm you will be punished by the God of Contract."

"Permission D: One more follower slot will be added to yours."

"Permission E: You have been praised by the God of Contract. The God of Contract will bestow his grace upon you and grant you a holy object."

"Permission F (Special): The God of Contract senses that you have one of his holy objects, which is about to be damaged, so he can repair this holy object and improve its quality."

After seeing this information, Du Yuqi made up his mind decisively. It seemed that the benefits of sacrifice would be much greater, so he gritted his teeth and placed the equipment "Eyeball of the Time Traveler" on the altar.

It is worth mentioning that Du Yuqi was already a silver believer at this time, so his exclusive altar had become an ancient stone building like the Temple of Heaven and the Mayan Pyramids. After the time traveler's eyeball was placed on the altar, he immediately saw a ball of pure white flame burning in the center of the altar, which looked full of sacred breath, wrapping the time traveler's eyeball inside.

However, at this moment, a little light suddenly appeared around the time traveler's eyes. The light seemed as dazzling as starlight, and then quickly combined into a strange illusion. This illusion looked somewhat similar to the Sphinx, but it was surrounded by high-tech light pipes and gears that were constantly sliding.

A cold and ruthless voice followed:

"Who is blaspheming the dignity of the time traveler?"

"Who is trying to steal the power of the time traveler!?"

"The sinners will be punished!!"

As the sound rang out, the white flame in the center of the altar also roared and rolled rapidly, and then tightly wrapped the time traveler's eyeballs in it. The sound became weaker and weaker, and finally it was completely annihilated.

From this moment on, the time traveler's eyeball began to turn into a virtual image, from which small transparent hourglasses flew everywhere, and were quickly absorbed by the altar. Every time a small transparent hourglass was absorbed, the time traveler's eyeball became lighter. After about ten small transparent hourglasses flew out, this piece of equipment became completely transparent and disappeared, leaving only a pool of quicksand-like powder, which was quickly sucked into the altar.

After a while, a series of text and icons began to appear on Du Yuqi's retina:

"You have successfully sacrificed an item of the Source of Time to the God of Contract. You have obtained three God's Favor Points. Please select the reward option you want to purchase in the following menu."

Seeing this, Du Yuqi suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart, and then he saw the list he had seen before appear.

"Permission A: Your Contract God believer level is upgraded to Silver Four Stars... This project will consume two temporary Holy Crowns."

"Permission B: You will receive an additional six Holy Crowns... This item will consume one temporary Holy Crown."

"Permission C: You have obtained the title of 'Favored'... This project will consume one temporary sacred crown."

"Permission D: Your follower slot will be increased... This item will consume one temporary sacred crown."

"Permission E: The God of Contract will grant you a holy object... This item will consume one temporary holy crown."

"Authorization F (Special): The God of Contract will repair this holy relic and improve its quality... This project will consume two temporary holy crowns."

Note: Temporary Holy Crowns only exist for fifteen minutes. If there are any remaining Holy Crowns by then, they will be cleared. Temporary Holy Crowns can only be used for this purchase of reward options.

After seeing this series of lists, Du Yuqi immediately realized that the rewards were different from what he had imagined! He had previously thought that he could get all of these rewards, but now it seemed like a multiple-choice question, and he could only choose three at most!

Moreover, the two options he wanted the most and had the highest value were permission A and permission F, and he could only choose one of them. This really made him unable to help but blurt out a Chinese curse!
