Chapter 89: Do You Need Me to Connect You with a Professional Team?

Hey! This contract looks great, very reasonable!

Fang Yue nodded and said, "This contract is fine, I think I'll sign it. But the header lacks a bit of flavor—what's a contract without the words 'fair'? Suggest adding them!"

Fang Yue was just joking, but unexpectedly, two seconds later, the parchment actually added three words.

【Unscrupulous Fair Contract: I, Fang Yue, will do my utmost to protect the parchment's safety within my capabilities; in return, the parchment will spare no effort to help Fang Yue survive any danger!】

Fang Yue figured this was the limit—if it got any more shameless, they'd both break apart, end up with nothing, and neither would benefit.

He thought for a moment and said, "The contract is fine, but I want to know the exact cost—I'll sign if it's acceptable."

This time, the parchment was surprisingly direct: first, the contract text vanished, then something new appeared…

【I am willing to sign a contract with the parchment, but I wish to know the cost of power.】

【The parchment tells me that after signing the contract, I can transfer all my game character's stats directly into my real body.】

【How strong you are in the game, you'll be in reality!】

【However, 【Advent】 has a cost: one day of game character's lifespan equals one second of real-life lifespan.】

【The rules of 【Advent】 are beyond even the parchment's interference—I'm powerless to change them.】

【But it's enough already!】

【With this power, as long as I have enough lifespan, I fear no danger!】

【I imagine using the parchment's 【Advent】 power to eliminate danger and save Bai Xiaoya.】

【Life has become beautiful!】

Ouch!

Ouch ooh!

Ouch ooh ooh ooh ooh!

Good move!

Late at night, Fang Yue suddenly shouted from the staircase.

"Contract, appear!"

The parchment angrily manifested the previous 【Unscrupulous Fair Contract】.

"Pen, come!"

After verifying the content, Fang Yue shouted again, bit his finger, and signed his name in the blank signature field in one fluid motion.

It looked cool, but his fingertip hurt terribly.

Luckily, Fang Yue's name has few strokes—otherwise, ten fingers' worth of blood wouldn't be enough.

But he still had an objection.

"Parchment, you're way too old-school—we're all using iris scans now."

The parchment ignored him, its emotions complex—both excited and pained—as it retracted the contract text.

The next moment, Fang Yue immediately felt an inexplicable connection form between himself and the parchment.

It was an elusive, profound sensation—from this moment on, his fate seemed irrevocably bound to the parchment.

And he indeed received a stream of information.

From now on, as long as he burns the lifespan of 【Yese Liming】, he can overwrite his real body with all of 【Yese Liming】's game data!

Analysis Pupil, Starfire Heart Method, Starfire Blade Technique, exceptionally high dual attributes surpassing normal human physical limits, and… Night Breathing!

Fang Yue's eyes lit up.

It's real! The parchment didn't lie—I really can gain extraordinary power!

Why specifically the game character from 【Blue Sea】?

Why, by signing this contract with the parchment, can I obtain the 【Advent】 power of a game character?

What is the relationship between the parchment and the 【Blue Sea】 game?

All these questions seemed to point to one thing—the game is not ordinary!

Fang Yue, emotionally stirred and in turmoil, kept questioning the parchment.

But the parchment gave no response whatsoever.

Fang Yue realized he'd been foolish—the contract obligated the parchment to help him survive danger.

Now, the one in danger isn't him—it's Bai Xiaoya—so the parchment has no obligation to assist him.

Moreover, the parchment is only required to display text when it pertains to helping him survive danger; for other questions, it can remain silent!

But then he realized—the 【Unscrupulous Fair Contract】 had already reached the parchment's limit; any further overreach would cause immediate rupture and mutual destruction.

Gain and loss, gain and loss—you can't let greed take over your mind.

Fang Yue silently thought to himself, then suppressed his thoughts and cautiously asked:

"Parchment, I'm going to help Bai Xiaoya now, but my character's lifespan only lasts thirty seconds—I want you to check if I'll be in danger."

The parchment didn't react.

"Parchment, if you don't help me, I'll seal you away for a month."

The parchment didn't react.

Fang Yue scratched his head, wondering why this trick no longer worked?

But then he understood.

He'd signed the contract and formed an unknown bond—the parchment had long seen through his petty schemes. With something that could predict danger at any moment, a man as cautious as Fang Yue wouldn't dare check it less than dozens of times a day—he'd be asking for death!

Fang Yue hesitated: "Uh… Parchment, if you're not answering, does that mean I won't be in danger on this trip?"

The parchment didn't react.

Fang Yue lifted his foot and said, "Then I'm off?"

The parchment didn't react.

"I'm really going now?"

The parchment didn't react.

"I'm really, really going now?"

The parchment didn't react.

"I'm really, really, really…"

【Get lost!】

Seeing the bright red furious text on the parchment, Fang Yue broke into a delighted grin.

"Got it! Going right now!"

Saying so, Fang Yue tucked the parchment away, leaping down several steps at a time, happy as a grade-schooler just let out of school, and bounded down a whole flight in a few jumps.

Actually, Fang Yue had also thought about just leaping straight down the staircase, then trying out the effect of 【Advent】 right away… after all, it was nighttime now!

But in the end, he still obediently jogged down the stairs.

Counting the time, only about half an hour had passed.

Which meant that in another 30 minutes, following the original trajectory, Bai Xiaoya would be dead.

"30 minutes, huh… just right, I also have something I want to ask this mysterious landlord's daughter."

Thinking of this, having just come downstairs and already walking down the street with a swagger that disowned all his kin, Fang Yue's pace quickened by several degrees.

On the bench in the middle of the street, Bai Xiaoya was still sitting quietly, as if she had never moved, beautiful as a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Fang Yue didn't bother with pleasantries either, sitting down directly beside Bai Xiaoya, leaning back against the bench, and opened his mouth with four blunt, straight-to-the-point words.

"You're about to die."

Bai Xiaoya:???

Bai Xiaoya had long since noticed Fang Yue coming back.

She had imagined Fang Yue would come back to admit his mistake, to apologize, or come up with some flimsy excuse to keep her staying here, or perhaps take her back.

But she had never imagined that the first thing out of Fang Yue's mouth would be a line like this.

She raised her head in astonishment, stared blankly at Fang Yue for quite a while, then calmed down and asked.

"Do you need me to help you contact a psychiatrist?"

Fang Yue checked the time and asked back, "Do you need me to help you contact a professional team?"
