At the same moment that hope flooded the burly man, the hatred that was usually buried deep in the depths of his soul surged violently, and his adorable features arranged themselves into a cold expression.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan sent Floating World Complains of Calamity another message.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “Your request will need the power of a Creation Breed fey. I’m sure you’re aware of this. I believe that you’ve been searching for a thearch-class expert to help your feys overcome the World Cleansing. If so, I need to add to my stipulated conditions. But I won’t be adding too much. Since you have two feys that need to overcome the World Cleansing, the compensation is doubled, and add 50 more source-type items.”
Lin Yuan had thought deeply before he changed the price.
The main reason he had sent the message was to obtain the 10% of World Grace. Hence, he did not increase the price by much.
The burly man’s expression soured, and his ears turned red. This made him seem even cuter like he was an enormous teddy bear. He scratched the back of his head with a vexed look hanging on his face.
He sent Lin Yuan an astonishing reply.
Floating World Complains of Calamity: “I don’t have any money now. I don’t even have any Heaven and Earth feys or source-type items. Can I give you all the World Grace instead? Or I can find a way to earn money after my feys evolve to Myth III.”
The burly man added another message shamefully.
Floating World Complains of Calamity: “I’ll definitely do my best to pay you accordingly.”
Lin Yuan’s jaw fell open when he first saw the messages.
Just how thick-skinned is this person? He had the gall to take advantage of me? Since when did stores on Star Web accept credit?
Lin Yuan took a closer look at Floating World Complains of Calamity’s messages and realized that he was not actually trying to take advantage of him. Instead, he seemed desperately sincere.
Floating World Complains of Calamity needed someone to help his feys overcome the World Cleansing while Lin Yuan had thearch-class power.
Thus, Floating World Complains of Calamity could not go back on his word in the face of Lin Yuan’s martial force after Floating World Complains of Calamity’s two pinnacle Suzerain/Myth II overcame the World Cleansing.
Yet, Floating World Complains of Calamity was willing to give up all the World Grace. This showed just how backed into a corner Floating World Complains of Calamity was as he would essentially be giving up his feys’ futures.
By burning the bridge once one was across it, one had no choice but to push on and move forward until they finally attained success.
Floating World Complains of Calamity sent Lin Yuan another message.
Floating World Complains of Calamity: “If you can’t accept credit, I can swear on a law to be your servant for three years. I’ll do anything for you in those three years. But once three years is up, I need to leave to do something absolutely necessary.”
Lin Yuan fell silent when he read the message.
Perhaps it was because he had also been once submerged in darkness and had to climb out of it on his own painstakingly. Lin Yuan felt that he could relate to Floating World Complains of Calamity to some extent.
Unless he was in a hopeless situation, there was no way an emperor-class expert would set aside his pride, give up his freedom, and leave his fate in the hands of a stranger.
After a few moments of silence, Lin Yuan sent his reply.
Deep Mountain Elder Lin: “I’ll help your feys overcome the World Cleansing first. We can discuss the compensation and other conditions once we meet. Let me know once you’ve reached the Royal Capital.”
Lin Yuan sent his phone number to Floating World Complains of Calamity.
He did not know Floating World Complains of Calamity well. As such, he dared not take up the offer to take him on as his servant for three years.
From Floating World Complains of Calamity’s words, Lin Yuan could sense that he had a long life story behind him which would entail what he had to do in three years.
Hence, he decided to hold off on agreeing on the compensation until he met Floating World Complains of Calamity in the face before he decided whether to take two Heaven and Earth feys and 110 source-type items or Floating World Complains of Calamity as his servant for three years.
Lin Yuan did not like the term servant.
Listen had used his Willpower Rune to swear his servitude, but Lin Yuan did not treat him any differently from the other people in the mansion.
He waited for Floating World Complains of Calamity’s reply, but he still received nothing even after a long while.
When he opened Floating World Complains of Calamity’s messages, Lin Yuan saw that Floating World Complains of Calamity had logged out of Star Web.
Lin Yuan sighed and said, “What is wrong with Floating World Complains of Calamity? He left right in the middle of our serious discussion. Why is he so unreliable?”
But since he had sent the messages, he could only wait for Floating World Complains of Calamity to call him.
At that moment, in a tiny, decrepit house, a burly man dressed in a long robe was writhing wildly on the floor.
Clearly, he was fighting intense pain as he locked his jaw to stave off any whimpers of pain.
His black robe was soaked through with sweat, and he left stains on the ground as he thrashed about.
He lay face-up on the ground as sweat rolled down his face a moment later.
The moisture on his face was a mixture of sweat and tears.
The burly man raised his head with great difficulty and looked at his scars for a second before he shakily got to his feet.
He looked out into the dark night as though he was searching for a ray of light that would illuminate his heart.
…
Now that he had settled his matters, he wanted to check on Chimey.
Currently, Chimey’s live-streaming room was the most booming place on Star Web.
Bai Hao was now the most excited and happiest person on Star Web.
