Chapter 104: Giving So Much, Can’t Take It!
“Are you trying to pick me up?”
“Of course not, I want you to be my secretary.”
“The kind who works when there’s work and gets busy when there’s nothing to do?”
“Ahem, I just think that you’re a rare talent, and I simply appreciate that. After all, with your status, if you don’t find a way out, you might just drop dead any time.”
“With this face, this figure, these killer assets, do you think I’m worth just a measly Lord’s Heart?”
Number Two puffed out her chest and lifted her head, parading her graceful figure in front of Zi Liyuan, while a flicker of amused cunning gleamed in her eyes.
“A Lord’s Heart isn’t enough? Can you compare your looks with Xiao Yurou’s? At best, your figure just barely makes the cut.”
Zi Liyuan unceremoniously pulled the dumbfounded Shen Yurou over, pinched her cheek disdainfully, and looked at Number Two.
Shen Yurou’s cheeks flushed instantly, and she wished she could chop up the bastard’s paw!
Number Two was equally dumbstruck, not expecting him to be so shameless, and even more, to mess around with a young lady—utterly despicable!
“Pah! If you want me to follow you, you better cough up ten Lord’s Hearts!”
After spitting at someone, Number Two blurted out her demand, and then immediately regretted it.
“Deal! Sign the Boundary Sea Contract, I’ll provide you with ten Lord’s Hearts within half a year!”
(O_O)?
Number Two thought she was hallucinating, but when Zi Liyuan repeated his promise, her breath hitched, and she nearly fainted.
Damn it! He was laying a trap here waiting for me!
At that moment, Shen Yurou was also a bit shell-shocked, but she quickly realized that he was setting a trap.
“Can you really secure ten Lord’s Hearts?”
“Of course!”
“Let me think about it.”
“Isn’t it all for upgrading that Blood Lotus Platform in your eyes? Just follow me, and I’ll cover all future upgrade materials.”
Silence fell as the three of them stared at each other, lost in thought.
“Isn’t this just a contract of servitude? As long as you can indeed hand over ten Lord’s Hearts to me, why the hell shouldn’t I sign!”
Goddamn it, the offer was just too good, too tempting to resist!
Plus, this pretty boy not only looks slick and handsome but also has strong abilities and astonishing potential. As an Array Master, latching onto his solid and powerful “legs” seemed like a good deal.
“Zi Liyuan, can I break the contract?”
In her faint voice, a tide of resentment surged, with Shen Yurou truly burning with anger.
How did this scoundrel sweet-talk her back then?
Doesn’t she even worth a single Lord’s Heart?
Damn LSP capitalist, should be hanged from a lamppost!
“Ahem, Xiao Yurou, with the relationship between us two, how can we break a contract, right?”
“Yeah, what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours is still yours. Zi Liyuan, go to hell!”
Shen Yurou pulled out her sniper rifle in an instant and rudely pressed it against someone’s waist, ready to blast away his lower half and destroy his future happiness.
“Xiao Yurou, don’t be rash, you’ll lose me if you do this! Are you saying you don’t want happiness in your next life? Planning to become a widow instead?”
He extended a finger and lightly pressed it against the barrel of the sniper rifle, gradually moving the muzzle away.
“Number Two, give me a contact. Within six months, I’ll bring the stuff and come to sign a contract with you.”
The blood-colored lotus in Number Two’s eyes had piqued Zi Liyuan’s interest, and the ability to activate bloodline talents was also incredibly overpowered, a valuable trump card for recruiting subordinates, wasn’t it?
Taking a piece of paper and glancing at the address on it, Zi Liyuan carefully put it into his Spatial Backpack, then turned to Shen Yurou.
“Be careful yourself.”
After voicing his concern, Zi Liyuan summoned a Skeleton Knight, as usual, kicking it aside, geared up the saddle and mounted the Skeletal Horse, heading towards Lao Tie’s location.
When he arrived at an empty area, he raised his hand and summoned a large group of Skeleton Knights, charging forward with them.
Skeleton Summoning had leveled up again, and all related enhancement skills had also reached Level 10, significantly increasing the skeletons’ combat power.
However, against an array of bosses, these skeletons were still not much to look at, merely sturdier cannon fodder that lasted just a few seconds longer.
But a few seconds could make a big difference, at least giving Zi Liyuan a slightly longer window to fill in the gaps with his summons.
With this slight delay, he managed to collect the white bone blood pillars that hadn’t yet been destroyed into his Spatial Backpack.
On his way, when he approached the battlefield between Lao Tie and the spider knight, he stopped obediently, slinging a set of curse skills at the boss, followed by a set of buffing BUFFs on Lao Tie.
As one weakened and the other strengthened, Lao Tie became even more ferocious, while the spider knight weakened significantly.
Watching Lao Tie’s health fluctuate wildly and the spider knight’s health steadily decline, Zi Liyuan started his own attacks.
His opening move was his most powerful skill—Shadow Arrow.
The Level 10 skill dealt a magic damage output of 52,000+, hitting the spider knight for over 50,000 damage.
The Level 10 Bone Spear skill was also impressive, capable of depleting over 25,000 of the boss’s health.
The subsequent Shadow Arrows and other offensive skills, while not as damaging, could still hit for four-digit numbers.
Although the spider knight’s 25,000,000 health points seemed terrifying, in Lao Tie’s hands, enhanced by various buffs, nearly 5,000,000 had already been depleted.
If nothing unexpected happened, this creature was doomed to a slow death.
But accidents have a way of occurring when least expected, like right now.
Arrows with flaming tails suddenly appeared, twelve arrows forming a straight line, like fiery meteors, trailing long plumes as they struck Lao Tie’s back.
A series of 5,000+ damage numbers floated above his head, but the last “MISS” that popped up was particularly eye-catching.
“Pfft, fire damage? Ha, what a joke, Lao Tie has a passive skill that makes him immune to fire!”
Zi Liyuan couldn’t help but snort a laugh, though his expression was cold as ice, his eyes filled with a chilling murderous intent as he looked towards a marksman standing on a rooftop hundreds of meters away.
“JiangTianyou, die!”
Extending his Spirit senses to the limit, the Shadow Arrow Rain spell targeted the area where Jiang Tianyou was located, casting the spell that unleashed 13 Shadow Arrows like droplets in a storm, covering a small area.
That wasn’t the end of it; ten bone spurs materialized instantly and flew out like a spray of celestial flowers, followed by a barrage of Bone Spear skills.
With no cooldown time for the Bone Spear, even if the damage wasn’t high, the sheer number was overwhelming.
