Peerless Sword Casket? Unlimited Contracts?!

Lin Wei had grown up in poverty. Because of it, she had been insecure since childhood and never socialized with others.

Usually, only the poor boy from the neighboring village would take her out to play. That boy was the Protagonist, Chu Yun.

Now, upon hearing the big bad wolf Bai Zhou say, "You wouldn't want your father to be beyond saving, would you?"

Lin Wei's heart instantly skipped a beat.

Almost as if by reflex, she blurted out:

"Can you really save my father?!"

But after saying that, Lin Wei realized who she was talking to.

This was the universally acknowledged spoiled rich kid, a total villain!

Lin Wei hurriedly shut her mouth and took two quick steps back.

Yet those two steps pressed her body completely against the wall behind her, leaving her nowhere to retreat.

Seeing Lin Wei like this, Bai Zhou kept a faint smile hidden in his eyes.

Rather than answer Lin Wei's question directly, Bai Zhou took out his phone and looked at her.

"As long as you nod, I'll immediately call and arrange for your father to go to the best hospital, find the best doctors, and use the best medicine! Your father's illness is only in the middle stage. There's still a good chance of curing it, but if this drags on..."

Bai Zhou's voice trailed off there.

Hearing Bai Zhou's words, Lin Wei, whom Bai Zhou had pulled to her feet, trembled again. Struggle was clearly visible in her eyes.

Obviously, she was tempted. After all, that was her father!

But she gritted her teeth and said:

"Wh... why me? I'm only E-Class..."

"So what?" Bai Zhou spread his hands lightly. "Although I don't like that Shen Qin, I have to admit she was right."

"My family could make me S-Class just by throwing money at me. Would I care about you being E-Class?"

"But..." Lin Wei did not doubt Bai Zhou's family background, but she was not stupid either. Why would a lofty second-generation rich kid come to her for a contract when he had nothing better to do?

Other than wanting to "play around," Lin Wei could think of no reason.

But Bai Zhou beat her to it. "Could it be that you're still waiting for your Chu Yun?"

The moment she heard the name "Chu Yun," Lin Wei's pupils contracted sharply.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, a deafening announcement suddenly rang out across the field:

"Class Three, Senior Year... Chu Yun... th-three... SSS-Class... SSS-Class Spirit Master Talent? How is that possible?!"

With a roar, the entire field erupted into an uproar, as though a bomb had gone off.

Intense delight also burst forth in Lin Wei's eyes as she stood before Bai Zhou.

"I knew it!"

Her voice was choked with emotion.

"I knew he could do it. Brother Chu Yun is definitely not trash!"

Only Bai Zhou remained completely unmoved, because he knew this plot all too well.

The moment the SSS-Class Spirit Master Talent appeared, the entire school was shocked.

Countless pretty girls lined up, wanting Chu Yun to contract them. Even Chu Yun's ex-girlfriend, the Campus Belle Shen Qin, had nearly changed her mind on the spot.

Though Bai Zhou had not been there, he could imagine Chu Yun's smug, world-dominating expression.

He did not care. In fact, he had been waiting for this very moment!

Sure enough, he spoke to Lin Wei again.

"You're actually happy about this?"

"Think about it. Chu Yun is already SSS-Class, while you're only E-Class. Do you think he'll still give you a second glance?"

Just that one sentence!

It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over Lin Wei's head. Her face instantly turned pale, and she trembled so hard she nearly collapsed.

Bai Zhou gave Lin Wei no chance to catch her breath before continuing.

"It's time to make your decision, Lin Wei."

"If you're still thinking about that Chu Yun, then there's nothing I can do... As for your father's illness, deal with it yourself!"

"And Chu Yun—so what if he awakened an SSS-Class Talent? With the Bai Family's power, crushing him to death would be as easy as crushing an ant!"

Bai Zhou's words were half true and half false.

The Bai Family did indeed have the power to crush Chu Yun.

But if Chu Yun had awakened an SSS-Class Talent, things would be different.

Chu Yun would immediately attract the attention of all sorts of enormous powers.

Although the Bai Family was one of those enormous powers.

They still had to maintain a balance among themselves.

Taking action openly required careful consideration.

But Lin Wei did not know that.

Her immediate response was, "Don't hurt Brother Chu Yun!"

Her reaction was even more intense than when it came to her father's illness. It was clear that she truly loved Chu Yun wholeheartedly.

But Bai Zhou did not care.

"That depends on your choice."

"I..." This time, Lin Wei's tears truly fell.

Bai Zhou added fuel to the fire.

"You wouldn't want your Brother Chu Yun to get hurt either, would you?"

That was a masterful addition!

Lin Wei no longer hesitated and immediately said:

"I'm willing to contract with you!"

Finally!

After saying those words, Lin Wei's tears flowed even more fiercely.

"Brother Chu Yun, I'm sorry."

A smile had already appeared on Bai Zhou's face.

At that moment, a mechanical notification sounded in Bai Zhou's mind once again:

Ding! It has been detected that you have forcibly altered the original plot. Destined Villain Value +500. Villain Roulette unlocked. Would the host like to draw a Villain reward?

"This works too?"

He had originally thought he could only gain rewards by wiping out the Protagonist. So he could also get them by changing the original plot?!

And this time, he had directly received 500 Destined Villain Value. Even the lottery had been unlocked.

How could Bai Zhou possibly suppress his excitement?

"Start the draw!"

A massive roulette wheel appeared out of thin air before Bai Zhou. At his command, it began spinning at high speed. Soon, a dazzling red light lit up from the wheel.

Then:

Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully drawn a Red-Class reward: Peerless Sword Casket!

Note: The Peerless Sword Casket can store spirit weapons with which its owner has signed Life-and-Death Contracts. There is no limit to the number!

"Holy shit!"

Upon hearing the description of the reward, Bai Zhou could not help letting out a cry of surprise.

Life-and-Death Contracts, with no limit on the number?

Bai Zhou knew the original plot. There were three kinds of contracts in total.

Master-Servant Contract: The Spirit Master was the master, and the Divine Weapon Maiden was the servant. There was no limit to the number of servants that could be contracted.

Companion Contract: The Spirit Master and Divine Weapon Maiden became companions. There was no limit to the number of contracts, but the spirit weapons signing the contract had to acknowledge one another and become companions.

Life-and-Death Contract: The Spirit Master and Divine Weapon Maiden shared life and death. It could only be signed once!

As the only contract that could only be signed once, signing a Life-and-Death Contract meant both sides completely recognized each other.

It felt like the relationship between a married couple spending their entire lives together.

Yet the system's reward, the Peerless Sword Casket, could allow him to sign an unlimited number of Life-and-Death Contracts?!

Did that not mean he could marry... uh... no... he could not put it that way.

Anyway, it was ridiculously awesome.

He had originally planned to sign a Master-Servant Contract with Lin Wei, but now... Looking at Lin Wei before him, he had another idea.

Then he smiled and said:

"Then let's go sign the contract now?"

"Okay..." Lin Wei's face was pale, and she was expressionless, as if she had become a robot.

She only knew to follow behind Bai Zhou, walking mechanically.

The two walked out of the corner one after the other. Lin Wei could not help glancing up at the field.

Sure enough, Chu Yun was looking utterly pleased with himself, surrounded by beautiful women who opened their arms and sought contracts with him. Even Shen Qin seemed to be among them.

Lin Wei bit her lip and lowered her head again.

However, Chu Yun, surrounded by the crowd, seemed to spot Lin Wei silently walking with her head lowered in the distance at a glance, perhaps because of the Protagonist's unseen aura.

A flash of light passed through his eyes. He immediately threw off the women and ran toward Lin Wei.

From far away, he called out:

"Weiwei! Did you hear? I have an SSS-Class Talent! Now no one will look down on me, and no one can bully me anymore!"

Chu Yun stopped in front of Lin Wei and blocked her path. Yet in the face of Chu Yun's delighted expression, Lin Wei kept her head lowered and said nothing.

This made Chu Yun frown.

"Weiwei, what's wrong? Aren't you happy for me?"

At that moment, Bai Zhou, who had been walking ahead, turned around and said softly:

"Lin Wei, shall we go?"

"Okay..." Lin Wei, who had not responded to Chu Yun at all, obediently nodded, walked around him, and caught up with Bai Zhou.

"You?!" Chu Yun's eyes instantly went bloodshot with rage!

Ding! It has been detected that you have inflicted 999 points of emotional damage on the Protagonist. Destined Villain Value +100. Villain Roulette requires 1900 more to unlock!
