Chapter 404

This could be seen from the fact that he told stories outside and received wide acclaim.

"I just finished reading the comic too. Come on, I'll take you to Boss Han's place to claim the reward."

Venti got excited at this moment.

He was genuinely curious what reward Seeing Zhongli would get.

"A reward?"

Seeing Zhongli was also quite curious about this reward.

So he didn't refuse either, following Venti to the counter.

"Boss, what is my friend's reward?"

Venti asked curiously.

Han Feng looked toward the system.

By now the information had refreshed.

【Customer Seeing Zhongli has finished reading *Rune Continent*, reward obtained — Future Market.】

【Future Market — from Rune Continent, a Future rune of the Enlightenment series. It allows you to go into debt to purchase items. The amount you can owe will increase with the number of uses.】

【Note: Loan fee: 100,000 Mora; Debt amount: 500,000 Mora + 5 days.】

"This reward really does suit Seeing Zhongli…"

Han Feng's mouth twitched.

Could it be that the system knew Seeing Zhongli often had no Mora, but didn't want to lose a customer?

So it gave him a rune similar to a credit card?

Borrow 500,000 Mora, repay within at most 5 days.

Interest of 100,000 Mora.

And as the number of uses increases, the debt limit can also be raised.

Isn't this just the credit card trick from a previous life?

It's just that the interest is a tiny bit expensive.

However, Han Feng thought of a question.

"System, what if I can't repay on time?"

Han Feng asked curiously in his heart.

After all, being unable to repay when a loan comes due is still very common.

"If more than 5 days pass without full repayment, the Future Market rune will forcibly execute debt collection.

First, it will collect from the debtor's person, using all possessions to offset the debt. If that's not enough, it will continue to other aspects, such as time, life, strength, and so on."

The system answered.

"This aspect is even more ruthless than the previous life!"

Han Feng's expression turned a bit strange.

In the previous life, at worst it was phone harassment for debt collection, but this Future Market rune even counts strength, time, and the like.

Truly a bit terrifying.

But as long as you don't use this rune, or can repay on time, the problem probably isn't big.

Seeing Zhongli should be fine, right?

"Boss Han, is there something wrong with the reward?"

Seeing Han Feng's rather odd expression, Seeing Zhongli was a bit curious.

"No, this reward should be quite suitable for you. Hmm, Venti too."

Han Feng shook his head and said.

Or rather, this reward suits anyone who owes money.

Where there's demand, there's a market.

Didn't all the lending institutions in the previous life come about this way?

"Oh hey, also suitable for me?"

Venti grew interested.

What kind of reward could be suitable for both Seeing Zhongli and himself?

Han Feng didn't keep them waiting long.

Hum—

A streak of brilliant light fell from the sky, enveloping Seeing Zhongli's body.

After a moment, the light dissipated.

A blue rune appeared in Seeing Zhongli's hand.

"Is this what Boss Han said was suitable for me?"

Venti examined the rune for a bit, feeling rather puzzled.

What on earth is this thing?

And what does it do?

Why would Boss Han say it suits him?

Seeing Zhongli also looked questioningly toward Boss Han.

Because the comic didn't have much content about runes, he wasn't very clear either.

"This is a rune called Future Market. You can use it to go into debt to purchase items.

You can borrow at most 500,000 Mora, required to be repaid within 5 days, while paying a loan fee of 100,000 Mora.

"As you use it more times, the borrowing amount can also be increased."

Han Feng explained.

Venti: (⊙_⊙)813

He now understood why Boss Han said this thing suited him.

So it's a prop that lets you borrow money?

"This thing looks pretty good!"

Venti felt just a tiny bit tempted.

Although the interest was a tiny bit expensive, he could get money anytime.

This way he wouldn't have to worry about having no money for drinks.

"Speaking by ordinary reason, it really is very convenient."

Zhongli propped his chin on his hand and nodded.

He very easily understood Boss Han's meaning.

After all, the very first Mora in Teyvat was created by him.

No wonder Boss Han said it suited him.

Because he would often forget to bring Mora,

he usually sent the bills back to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and the Northland Bank.

"Boss Han, what happens if you can't pay it back?"

Zhongli asked at this point.

Since there are benefits, there must surely be drawbacks too.

The interest aspect didn't really count.

Zhongli figured it must be in other aspects, such as the repayment issue.

Sure enough, Boss Han's next words confirmed his guess.

"Then this rune will take compulsory measures, starting with the items on the debtor's person, and then other things after that."

Han Feng didn't hide anything and gave a brief explanation.
