Chapter 167: Chapter 167
"Hurry up and sign the contract, or you’ll definitely meet your end,"
With a fork in his hand, Yasu threatened Du You. Du You faintly felt a sense of danger. These two buggers probably have powers equivalent to a tenth level Professional.
And they are at least at the 4-star level if not more, so either one of them is more than a match for me.
Maybe if I had to face only one of them, I’d have a chance of escaping. But if both of them teamed-up I’d stand no chance. Du You forcefully suppressed his urge to level up and looked at the contract handed to him by Ya Lie.
Firstly, the two brothers would try their best to ensure his safety in this world.
Secondly, he himself couldn’t use offensive skills to attack them, nor could he use any tools or Summoned Creatures to assault them. The rest were a bunch of terms and conditions.
These terms were to be used when he’d have to bring them back to Earth. Looking at the detailed contract, he felt as if they’d taken him completely for granted. If it went down according to these conditions, when they arrived on Earth, wouldn’t he turn into their housemaid? The two men were looking at him nervously, their weapons tightly clutched.
"Hehe, luckily these two didn’t understand the composition of the contract. So, there are many loopholes in it."
Du You’s eyes lit up. The so-called contract format and manufacturing method were as meticulous as legal documents.
During high school, they were only told about this kind of stuff. The teachers cautioned them from signing contracts recklessly. The more intricate contract format could only be learned during university.
But even with Du You’s limited understanding, he could spot the issues in this contract.
For example, if the quantity of Crystal Coins wasn’t sufficient and he leaves, he wouldn’t need to carry them with him.
The contract only stipulated that he must take them back with him after accomplishing the mainline quest with their help. What they didn’t know was that he’d already completed it. He could go back at any time and didn’t need to bother about them.
But Du You didn’t say anything. Since there was a way out, it was fine if they protected him along the way. If he relied entirely on himself, there’d probably be many mishaps along the way.
Thinking of this, Du You spoke: "Alright, I’ll sign." Du You looked seemingly crestfallen. The most update n0vels are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
As soon as the contract was signed, it took effect instantly due to the operation of the special rules. With Du You’s abilities, he was unable to undo this kind of contract. However, there were loopholes in the contract.
"Very well, since you’ve signed the contract, stay close and try not to lag behind. We wouldn’t want you to die here,"
Ya Lie spoke coldly, his gaze frosty, not showing any sign of seeing Du You as a partner.
Du You chuckled, mocking them. These primitively behaving people actually think they are smart. If this method really worked, there would be plenty of people controlled on Earth.
But in all his years, he had never heard of such people. So even if the contract takes effect and he brings them back, there’d be people in charge of managing this kind of issue. They think it’s easy to blend in on Earth?
"Alright, I want to go there." Du You pointed ahead and said.
"Hmph, at least you know how to pick a good place. Indeed there’s a 10th level Giant Beast there. Just tag along."
The two men didn’t entertain Du You at all, and seemed to have already assumed the role of his masters. Du You swallowed his anger for now and followed them forward, as they were stronger than him.
If he left now, he could get rid of them, but his motives for coming to this world would be entirely wasted.
Not to mention the wasted time, more importantly, a very crucial item would be forfeited, which wouldn’t be worth it.
Both men held large tridents, their faces serious. Even with such a heavy item, they didn’t stop at all in the jungle, their speed was very fast. It seems they adapted well to this place.
Even though the two brothers were always repressing their full potential, their hunting skills were impeccable.
A rustling sound rose from the bushes, without any hesitation, Ya Lie threw his trident at the shadow. Before Du You registered what was happening, the trident had already hit the target.
Only then did Du You notice that the target was a creature resembling a giant toad. The trident ran right through its belly. A vast amount of blood was sucked out through the blood channel, as if a gate had been opened.
The toad, suffering from the pain, jumped off in the distance. Ya Lie instantly released his grip, allowing the toad to jump away dragging the chain. The moment it landed, another trident flew at it, hitting it right in the throat.
This time, the giant toad couldn’t jump anymore, and it seemed like it was barely hanging on.
"Come fast, kill this beast, and then we continue on our way," Ya Lie ordered.
Du You was momentarily dazed before he nodded his head. Suddenly, an idea emerged, and he halted the releasing of his spell and instead summoned Xiaozi. "Go, finish that thing off," Du You commanded in his heart: "Don’t use Thunder and Lightning."
Although Xiaozi didn’t quite understand, she obediently flew off and plunged her sharp beak fiercely into the toad. The sharp beak instantly tore open the toad’s head, killing it.
"It’s a decent bird, its attack power is good. It’s just too small in size."
The two brothers exchanged glances, seemingly relieved. In this world, the thing they feared the least were Summoners. Which Summoned Creature was able to compete with the Giant Beasts of this world?
"Quick, check how much we got." Yasu called out loud.
Du You opened the Light Ball, of course in front of the two. "Only Crystal Coins, fifty of them."
Alright, an 8th level giant toad, with the help of two people, brought in fifty Crystal Coins, which was already a lot.
"That’s great. One beast brought fifty coins. If one thousand Crystal Coins is our goal then we need to kill two hundred beasts. If we work hard, before time runs out, we might have a high chance of escaping."
Ya Lie also laughed. Yes, they could finally get out. Once they left this world, they could lead the life they desired.
Du You also sensed, this world’s Giant Beasts, although it was difficult to collect gear, the Crystal Coins income was indeed much. If he hunted by himself, the quantity of Crystal Coins would certainly rise quite a bit.
"Don’t be too happy, not every Giant Beast has Crystal Coins, and not every Crystal Coin is as plentiful. Get ready, we need to kill at least one thousand or more Giant Beasts to possibly collect enough," said Ya Lie to his brother casually.
