Two days later, the system leases of Tang Xiao Qing and Liu Lili both expired.
Subsequently, Tang Xiao Qing, Liu Lili, and Zhao Yue, whose lips were purple and face was pale, arrived at 822!
Ling Yi had just seen off a director who had rented a luxury mansion.
Seeing Zhao Yue's behavior, I was speechless.
"They're really going all out!"
Zhao Yue has been poisoned by snake venom, which Zhao Yue herself found.
A type of snake venom that is fatal to those who ingest it, but has a relatively long treatment period.
Ling Yi waved his hand, and a data panel appeared in front of Zhao Yue.
[Name: Zhao Yue lv1]
[Lifespan: 25 days]
[Status: Purple Cloud Snake Venom ]
[Information: Two days ago, Zhao Wanjin, the father, bought a Purple Cloud Snake, intending to use it to make medicinal wine. Upon learning it was a protected animal, he decided to release it. During the release, Zhao Yue was bitten.]
[System Recommendation: Become Stronger by Recruiting Underlings!]
{System Introduction: Only those Xiao Di genuinely acknowledge the host are considered true Xiao Di; verbal agreements do not count.}
{Rental Fee: A 10-day lifespan Rental System for 1 day.}
[Rental Rules][Click to Rent]
Zhao Yue finally understood what 822 was really leasing.
" Rental System? That's so cool!" Zhao Yue exclaimed excitedly.
Tang Xiao Qing shook her head and said, "This system is a bit of a trap. Only genuine trust counts. These days, people's hearts are hard to fathom. Getting someone to truly acknowledge you as their leader isn't easy."
"That's true. They say one thing and do another; they're unreliable."
But Zhao Yue felt that this system was excellent and perfectly suited her.
She grew up surrounded by compliments like "big brother".
When she was little, she liked to be called "Little Boss". In high school, she was called "Big Sister". After graduating and joining the company, she became a rich heiress.
But Zhao Yue prefers to be called "boss".
As for recruiting Xiao Di, how difficult could that be in Zhao Yue's view?
"I want this system. Recruiting Xiao Di is easy."
"I think you'd better think it over," Liu Lili advised.
"Look at the rent; you can only rent for two days."
At that moment, Tang Xiao Qing took out a vial of blue cesium injection.
It is Basic Gene Potion.
It was pressed directly against Zhao Yue's neck.
"Hiss, Big Headlights Girl, what are you doing?" Zhao Yue touched her neck and frowned as she looked at Tang Xiao Qing.
Tang Xiao Qing didn't speak, but pointed to the data panel in the air.
Everything else remained the same, but Zhao Yue's lifespan was increasing rapidly.
From 25 days to a year, from 1 year to 88 years, it finally stopped at 23 days on May 1, 1988.
Ling Yi glanced at Tang Xiao Qing speechlessly. "Are you trying to exploit a bug in my game?"
"I can turn One Eye One Eye to your cheating, but isn't it a bit much to exploit bugs right in front of me?"
At this point, Zhao Yue had already entered the rental period, directly renting for 1 year with a rental fee for a 10-year lifespan.
And clicked "OK".
The next moment, the data panel in the air transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into Zhao Yue's forehead.
At the same time, Zhao Yue now has a rental-specific identification card in her hand.
Ling Yi shook his head. "You guys, don't do it again!"
After saying that, he pointed at Tang Xiao Qing and said, "If there's a next time, I'll take back part of your rewards, such as Electron Manipulation."
Tang Xiao Qing knew that this was Boss Ling warning her.
So he nodded and said, "Don't worry, boss, Zhao Yue's situation won't happen again."
Ling Yi rolled his eyes but didn't point out the flaws in her words.
"You're here to renew your lease, right?"
"Right!"
Ling Yi nodded. "You can renew your rental through the system interface while in the store."
"Wait a minute, boss, get her a newbie gift pack!" Tang Xiao Qing pointed at Zhao Yue and said.
"Is there a newbie gift pack?" Zhao Yue asked.
"One year of lifespan, a newbie gift pack, do you want it?" Ling Yi asked Zhao Yue.
"Want!"
Ling Yi didn't waste any words and directly popped up a window in front of Zhao Yue.
[Would you like to consume 1 year of your lifespan to redeem an exclusive newbie gift pack?][Yes][No]
Without any hesitation, Zhao Yue clicked "[Yes]" immediately!
[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have received a newbie gift pack reward: Loyalty Probe Technique, which allows you to directly view the Loyalty of others to you.]
"Yes, this is good!" Zhao Yue nodded in satisfaction.
Being able to assess someone's Loyalty gives you more options when recruiting Xiao Di.
Prioritize training those with Loyalty and increase their Loyalty.
Compared to those with low loyalty, it's definitely easier.
At this moment, Tang Xiao Qing asked Ling Yi again, " Boss Ling, I have a question."
"Go ahead!" Ling Yi nodded and sat back down in the recliner.
I picked up my teacup and took a sip.
"Logically, shortening one's lifespan should affect one's physical condition, right? Why haven't we experienced any Changes?"
"Because your lifespan is still on you, it will only be deducted when you completely end the lease and stop using the system."
"I see."
A person's lifespan is limited. Logically speaking, after deducting lifespan, there will inevitably be external manifestations.
Especially considering the significant lifespan deductions, there are potential Changes.
However, neither Song Hao, herself, nor Liu Lili and the others Changes after their lifespans were deducted.
This made Tang Xiao Qing wonder whether the lifespan had actually been deducted.
But I never expected Boss Ling to give this explanation.
The lifespan is not deducted now, but only when the lease ends and the system is no longer used.
This is actually a pretty good design.
If the Changes are too drastic due to deducting lifespan, it could cause a lot of trouble.
" Boss Ling, can you tell us how to upgrade our privileges?" Tang Xiao Qing asked again.
"You'll have to figure that out yourselves." Ling Yi shook his head.
" Boss Ling, we don't need to figure this out ourselves, do we?"
Ling Yi shook his head again.
Seeing that Boss Ling wouldn't say anything, Tang Xiao Qing knew she wouldn't get any information out of him, so she stopped trying.
Liu Lili had already opened her system interface.
Sure enough, the previously grayed-out "[Click to Renew]" button is now usable.
[ Scumbag Punishment System (Rented 1/9)]

"Aren't you going to switch to a different system?" Tang Xiao Qing asked.
Liu Lili shook her head. "I think this is pretty good!"
It's mainly because I'm used to it.
"Alright!" Tang Xiao Qing stopped trying to persuade her.
"Furthermore, Boss Ling also said that once the system is set, it cannot be changed."
Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's change the rules. We can't change this one: a ten-year lifespan, with the system replaceable once."
"Just like Qin Hai, who changed his system yesterday, the system he rented had a major problem!"
"No, boss, this is outrageous! We only live for a few decades!" Liu Lili exclaimed.
Tang Xiao Qing, however, felt that this was quite reasonable.
" Qin Hai also sacrificed ten years of his lifespan to switch systems?"
"Free!" Ling Yi shook his head.
"Huh? Why is his replacement free?"
"I recommended that system to him; it was my fault, so I can change it for free!"
He paused, then added, "Then hurry up and upgrade to Second Tier authority. Among the Transcendent items, there are rewards that extend lifespan; the maximum lifespan can reach a thousand years!"
