Chapter 322: Chapter 322
One more slave equals one more burden? Hearing this, Du You chuckled. For others, it might be true. Even with two more people, the profits now needed to be divided among three, which seemed like a dubious proposition.
If the slaves receive too little, their strength won’t keep up and they would be useless in the end. Giving them more, however, could prove costly.
Moreover, I heard that slaves lack many characteristics that normal professionals should have, which is a form of weakening. The level and star rating of a slave could never surpass their master, or they would be forcefully suppressed.
It could be said that cultivating slaves as cannon fodder is alright, but treating them as companions is a waste.
However, for me, what’s a burden? My ability to earn Crystal Coins is extraordinarily powerful. Having two more people, their primary role would be to assist me in tackling some troublesome matters.
Du You wanted to establish his own domain. If he were the only person, without any assistance, he would be too exhausted to do anything. Just having someone to run errands was a big help already.
"Use the slave contract then, two of them," Du You voiced nonchalantly.
The other party showed a knowing smile that any man would understand. Clearly, he didn’t believe that Du You intended to cultivate these two individuals. How could those who signed slave contracts be well trained and treated? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"We do not have contract reserves here. It will take three days for them to arrive, can you come back then?"
"Why don’t you have any? Doesn’t your association store contracts?"
"No, it’s not like that. As you know, it’s just after the university entrance exams, and many people have just become Awakeners."
Du You nodded, understanding. Every year, two months before the college entrance examination, was the time for Law Formalization across the entire Federation - no, the entire world. The aim was to select the true elites. This rule had been in use for more than three hundred years and had never changed.
"Because it’s just after the admission, slave contracts have been used a bit more recently. As you know, many people equip slaves from the beginning for the sake of their descendants’ safety in the Derived World. This is actually the biggest use of slave contracts."
Du You’s eyes widened; these influential circles really knew how to play, something he had never thought of.
"In other words, their so-called slaves are the ones who protect their masters to a certain degree, and then they are discarded."
"Not necessarily discarded, the slaves protect their masters until they advance into the second tier. If they do well, they will have a higher status among the household servants. After all, there is the restraint of the slave contract, so there’s no need to worry about betrayal. After reaching the second tier, there is usually no value left in cultivation."
Du You shrugged, "I have two slave contracts in my hand. Do you think I can use them?"
Du You took out his own contracts. The other party’s eyes lit up and he immediately nodded, "These come from the Other World and are guaranteed by Origin Spiritual Power, they can be used, but the terms need to be readjusted."
Du You nodded in approval. A contract analyst was called out quickly, then he opened up two of Du You’s contracts, constantly cross-referencing them, making annotations, and amending them.
Contract analysts are much more important than lawyers and their service fees are higher. But this is not a profession, it’s a job that focuses on researching various contract terms and loopholes.
"Is there anything of importance you’d like to ask? I can include them in," the contract analyst began.
Without missing a beat, Du You said, "They just need to keep my secrets absolutely secret."
"Sure, the restrictive power of the slave contract is the strongest and very strict, it’s not troublesome to adjust. Although these two contracts are made by aborigines and have many loopholes, the strength in them is fine."
Du You was a little curious, "You seem very familiar with this. Are there many contracts for you to practice with?" This work could not solely rely on talent, a lot of experience was most important.
The manager interjected, "It seems you still don’t know, apart from a very small number of special contracts, most contracts can be created. If people from the Other World can make them, we certainly can. However, creating contracts requires a special profession, the Professional Contract Master. Our contract masters are numerous, so we have a large reserve of various contracts."
Du You rolled his eyes, with such large reserves, all contracts are depleted due to a single exam? But Du You didn’t show this, he could only say that these parents are a bit too crazy.
If they want to protect their own children and facilitate their growth, they naturally cannot use ordinary people as slaves. Their slaves are usually some powerful aliens, especially those with strong close combat abilities. After all, in the early stages, close combat abilities are easier to cultivate.
Soon, the new contract terms were written out. They only need to be used on the other party. The slave contract does not require full agreement from the other party, it only needs to be unopposed. Even if the other party is knocked out first, then used, there is no problem. Of course, the stronger the slave’s strength, the higher the slave contract tier needs to be.
These two are ordinary people, and the effect of a common first-tier contract is already enough. After the contract, as their strength improves, the strength of this contract naturally improves, the effect will not be inferior to a high-tier contract.
"So, for the service fee, it will be 1300 Crystal Coins. We have removed the small change for you."
Well, the certification only requires two Crystal Coins, but the service fee is so much. Moreover, they are using their own contracts. If they use theirs, wouldn’t it be even higher?
No wonder many people say they can’t afford a lawsuit because hiring a lawyer is too expensive. The price of this contract analyst is even more exaggerated. Just for a short while, more than a thousand Crystal Coins are gone, ordinary people really can’t afford it.
Du You didn’t mean to default or bargain, this type of organization was in no position to negotiate.
Swiftly paying the Crystal Coins, the two contracts were given to Du You by the other party. Du You read each one and was very satisfied. There were no loopholes to be found in this contract, and what he hadn’t thought of was all perfectly restrained.
After this contract is signed, these two people are tied to him from then on.
"Come, let’s sign the contracts." Du You dripped his blood on the contract and then handed them to the two women he had just bought. The two girls looked at each other, eventually gritted their teeth, gently pierced their fingertips, and dripped their blood onto it.
In an instant, the contract flared up and transformed into countless specks of light, streaming towards Du You and the two girls’ foreheads. Du You got the least, and the vast majority of the lights converged into the bodies of the two girls and disappeared in a flash.
