Did you need to get stabbed by Runtu's spear to learn your lesson?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though internally screaming, Jiang Ye maintained a calm facade, continuing his indifferent bystander act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had no say here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling hadn't agreed to these first, second, and third demands yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression remained unchanged regarding the chubby guy wanting Zhang Minghan, seemingly indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just raised an eyebrow perfunctorily, \"Fourth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fourth.\" The chubby guy paused slightly. \"Haven't thought of it yet.

attack immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she glanced sideways at the chubby guy before saying gravely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you claim no ill

it was his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand flipped over to reveal something in his palm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A talisman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't quite look like one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the Abyssal Depths' special environment, even with [Owl's Eyes] helping him see, Jiang Ye's night vision wasn't clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't make out what the chubby guy was holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only vaguely sensing it resembled an omamori—a protective charm of sorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew what made this charm-like item so extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling's perpetually aloof expression visibly cracked the moment she saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in utter disbelief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby guy kept his eyes closed, perhaps unaware of her reaction, continuing leisurely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, this protective charm is yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Lin Ling didn't coldly prompt \"Second\" as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly questioned, unable to hide her shock, \"Where did you get this protective charm?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby guy remained expressionless, waving slightly, \"Don't rush, let me finish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he made another peace sign: \"Second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're forcibly exploring the Abyss Restricted Zone to investigate whether the Land of Rebirth holds clues to resurrecting your Jade Flask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My goal differs from yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So even if I get exploration rights, we won't conflict.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Conversely, if the Land of Rebirth has dangers, we can fight side by side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling seemed barely listening, her mind clearly captivated by the protective charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in thought about something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Jiang Ye the bystander, he was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd heard of the \"Land of Rebirth\" from Zhang Minghan and [Eternal Witch Gui]'s memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in both memories, information about it was just baseless rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend said during Doomsday Apartment's early days, light-type players ruled the pyramid's peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All dark-type players had to bow before them, serving their every whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given light's natural suppression of darkness, one could say dark-types survived at light's mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But light-type players were ultimately few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And ununited at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each basking in their high status, unbearably arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, two tigers can't share one mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet every light-type player was a \"tiger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supposedly, one exceptionally powerful light-type player subdued all others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who yielded joined him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who resisted were exterminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That history resembled Qin Shi Huang conquering the warring states, unifying China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only one voice was allowed in Doomsday Apartment—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That of the strongest light-type bigshot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Doomsday Apartment's heaven, its \"First Emperor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, with a light-type emperor, assassins like Jing Ke would emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many wanted this \"Light Emperor\" dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, dark-types instinctively feared light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Light Emperor lived, no dark-type could sleep peacefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Doomsday Apartment was still developing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in Novice Apartments or Secret Realm Towers, experts constantly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were not just strong but smart enough to play dumb and bide their time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the entire Doomsday Apartment under light's rule, resisting meant suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing dumb clearly worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One dark-type bigshot grew quietly, carefully scheming to trick the Light Emperor into eliminating other light-types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understandable—to the Light Emperor, dark-types couldn't usurp him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But light-types could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under the dark schemer's guidance,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light-type numbers dwindled, nearly all purged by their own emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As light-types decreased...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Light Emperor's reckoning came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light indeed supremely countered darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Doomsday Apartment housed many light-suppressing methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially with all dark-types united against light...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every light-countering method became their holy grail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most light-suppressing place was the Abyssal Depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the Light Emperor was lured there is lost to history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most rumors agree he died there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later dark-type explorers felt light-like terror in the Restricted Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus spread tales of a \"Land of Rebirth\" for the Light Emperor there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said it was the Dark Emperor's rebirth site instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, new talents constantly emerge—the Dark Emperor too became history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supposedly consumed entirely by Lightburn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though some say he didn't die but developed a resurrection method against Lightburn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now in suspended animation, awaiting revival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these are all rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Light Emperor\" and \"Dark Emperor\" are just nicknames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Doomsday Apartment existed barely eight days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eight days might as well be eight millennia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That ancient history is unverifiable now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including \"Land of Rebirth\" claims—just player rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether real is uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Zhang Minghan and [Eternal Witch Gui]'s memories, neither believed it existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now the chubby guy spoke as if he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling still didn't react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby guy raised a third finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, his second \"first, second, third\" corresponded to the first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three demands, three benefits in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His third demand was Zhang Minghan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the third benefit...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Zhang Minghan again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third, this is for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A card appeared between his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, he flicked it toward Lin Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She caught it steadily, examining it briefly with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she pocketed it and demanded firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any fourth? If not, answer my question now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you get that charm? What's your relationship with the apartment boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, compared to the second and third benefits, Lin Ling cared more about the first—the charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye was shocked—what made that charm so extraordinary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Lin Ling's tone, it seemed connected to the apartment boss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her voice carried suppressed anger...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jiang Ye pondered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby guy explained in his simpleton voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I truly have no ties to the apartment boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, I didn't know that Jade Flask was yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just treated it as ordinary burial goods and traded it to the boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burial goods?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In tomb-raiding circles, this refers to funerary objects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this chubby guy was a tomb raider?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A master tomb raider perhaps?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making that charm a funerary object from Jade Flask's grave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—where did Jade Flask die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering Doomsday Apartment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise how would her grave goods reach this guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many questions arose in Jiang Ye's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at least he understood Lin Ling's strong reaction now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because the item was powerful, but due to its connection to her Jade Flask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in thought, the chubby guy continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This deal—or cooperation—is absolutely favorable for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agree, and this charm is yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plus I'll tell you how I obtained it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, verbal agreements lack credibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So draft a contract—you're familiar with that, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ling didn't answer, eyes fixed on the charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Objectively, the deal wasn't unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Valley Soul Shepherd Formation's disk had value, but not what Lin Ling sought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Land of Rebirth truly existed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Lin Ling wasn't confident exploring it alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the chubby guy's goals didn't conflict, cooperation made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhang Minghan...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, Lin Ling barely remembered his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just some pretty boy—no loss giving him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she hesitated to agree immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chubby guy seemed to read her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a casual flip, the charm vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly smiled at Lin Ling, still with simple politeness, saying slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drafting contracts takes time.
