Chapter 318: Chapter 318
The price for the second Law Formalization is unexpectedly two million Credit Points, Du You recalls previously understanding that it was around one million Credit Points. It must be due to the difference in prices in different areas right?
But it’s all just Law Formalization, yet the price has doubled, that really is beyond my expectation.
"How long have they been arguing for? There’s not much point, I am leaving."
"Don’t leave. Isn’t it fun to watch? Such lively incidents haven’t been seen for a long time. Damazi has definitely been used to throwing his weight around using his uncle’s reputation. It seems that the two young beauties aren’t getting away today."
It can be seen that although the old man has been disagreeing, his attitude is clearly yielding. If it wasn’t for the fact that their demands aren’t met, they might truly sell with the pressuring circumstances.
Du You asked one of the people next to him: "Isn’t directly selling your own children illegal?" It seems like there’s no law stating that children can be sold.
"Tsk, can’t you see what’s written on the sign? Does it say they are for sale...?"
The person next to him, who was asked this question, was clearly exasperated and almost spouted a curse. But upon seeing the black energy emanating from Du You, the man’s voice started to tremble. They knew, this black energy was a symbol of power.
Only Professionals, after activating their disguise ability, could give off such an extraordinary aura, of course there are also certain special equipment which were capable of similar feats.
But no matter what, the person before them was a Professional, and he was an ordinary person. Despite some fear, the civilians on the outskirts of the Capital could still maintain their mentality quite well.
"Hello, in reality, directly selling one’s own family is indeed illegal, however, what they are doing here is not trading in name."
"Then what is it?" Du You doesn’t seem to mind his attitude.
The man pointed at the sign and said, "Look there. The sign does indeed state a price, but it also mentions ’follow’. In name, it means that the two girls voluntarily follow, and the given price is not their selling price, but their set up fee."
Well, this blatant human trafficking can be summarized in a hair-splitting way. It seems that people around here have become used to this type of thing, no one is even reporting it. Du You now understands that such unwritten rules are in fact tolerated, at the least it’s a case of turning a blind eye.
In reality, it benefits everyone, even they themselves might have partaken in this.
Because the world is quite chaotic, and the mortality rate of humans is high, the standard of regulations in all aspects often seem to drop.
This isn’t a world where the death of a few people would cause a sensation, and not just a few, even if an entire city is destroyed, it could only stir up a small area nearby.
"But such trading doesn’t result in accountability?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Of course it does. However, one would have to dare to pursue accountability. Damazi’s Uncle is a famous member of our local adventuring team. It is said that in their adventuring team, they have a third-tier Expert, so who dares to incite them."
"Isn’t there a more definitive way to deal with it, this seems somewhat precarious?"
Seemingly guessing Du You’s thoughts, the people around him lowered their voices and said: "It’s not that there isn’t. If you want a definitive method, you would have to spend a substantial amount of money. Just go to that Follower Certification Institution over there, and you’ll get extra-jurisdictional rule certification. If that old man still creates a fuss, he would be held accountable."
Du You nodded his understanding, to think there are other rules beyond the law, the effectiveness of the law in this world is full of loopholes, or it’s not as strict as he thought.
"Certification doesn’t come cheap, and if a contract is needed, it includes the capital for the contract, and it’s still unsure whether they have contract reserves. Hence to employ it on these two ordinary people would inevitably result in a loss."
Du You frowned, then continued asking: "What’s the deal with their twin telepathy?"
Seemingly enjoying the conversation with a Professional, the young man beside him seemed pretty elated, and started speaking more. "That twin telepathy, it is said only twins or multiple birth siblings have the chance to possess it, however, the higher the number, the lower the chance."
The young man thought for a moment, before hesitatingly saying: "As for the specifics, we, the common people, don’t understand too well. However, I heard that during the process of Law Formalization, if telepathy is awakened, it would likely yield very good results, but nobody knows the specifics. It is said that those with telepathy can greatly enhance their combat strength through this gift."
Finally, the young man concluded: "In short, I heard that twins with telepathy are seen as having great potential, and they are regarded as key personnel in many adventuring organizations and nurtured."
"What about the two of them, isn’t the chance not high? Are there others with higher chance?"
"The chances for those two are already quite high, normally the chance for twins to have telepathy is less than one percent, one could say it’s like winning a lottery. Normally, only after the presence of telepathy is confirmed would someone be taken into a big organization, it’s rare to take into account one’s potential. However, I have heard there exist some artifacts that can enhance telepathy, those can be given to them in advance."
"Artifacts? Aren’t most artifacts not usable by common people?"
Du You didn’t say it aloud, but it occurred to him, didn’t he have such an artifact in his personal space? If it really is useful, perhaps this can be regarded as a high potential stock.
Given Du You’s unique circumstances, it’s almost impossible for him to join another team, thus the better method would be to nurture his own team. Yet anything that could potentially expose his secret wouldn’t work.
The high-level ones were difficult to control, and the low-level ones were almost worthless. Listening to the young man ramble on, it seems that the twins who could awaken telepathy have great potential and weren’t low-level at all.
If this was the case, perhaps he should consider bringing these two people on board. By doing so, he could come to possess a powerful team. Moreover, these two girls were extremely attractive, petite yet curvaceous. Compared to ordinary people, they stood at the top of the pyramid, once they awaken, they would be absolute beauties.
Pairing up with beautiful women was always better than pairing up with rough men, at least that’s what Du You believed.
Two followers who absolutely would not betray him and had respectable potential; this would be the most suitable team for him. As for other limitations, Du You had selectively ignored them.
"Thank you." Du You casually handed the young man a piece of white Crystal Coin. Under the young man’s grateful gaze, he moved forward. The people around them also noticed Du You’s actions.
