Chapter 17 Contract

Hey! This contract looks pretty good, very reasonable!

Fang Yue nodded and said, "This contract is good, I think it's worth signing. It's just that the title is a little off. A contract, a contract, what kind of contract doesn't have the word 'fairness'? I suggest adding it!"

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

[Shameless Fair Contract: I, Fang Yue, will do my best to protect the safety of the parchment to the best of my ability. To this end, the parchment will desperately help Fang Yue overcome any danger!]

Fang Yue estimated that this should be the limit. If he continued to be shameless, they would really break up, and it would be all for nothing, with no benefit to anyone.

He thought for a moment and said, "The contract is fine, but I want to know the specifics of the price. If it's okay, I'll sign it."

This time, the parchment was very straightforward. First, the text of the contract disappeared, and then what emerged was...

[I am willing to sign a contract with the parchment, but I want to know the price of power.]

[The parchment tells me that after signing the contract, I can have all the data of my game character descend into my real body.]

[How strong you are in the game, how strong you are in reality!]

[But *Descent* comes at a price: 1 day of the game character's lifespan = 1 second in reality.]

[The rules of *Descent* are beyond even the parchment's control, and there's nothing I can do about it.]

[But it's enough!]

[With this power, as long as I have enough lifespan, I won't be afraid of any danger!]

[I fantasize about using the power of Descent given by the parchment to strangle the danger and save Bai Xiaoya.]

[Life becomes beautiful!]

Oh!

Oh, yes!

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Awesome!

Late at night, Fang Yue, standing on the stairs, suddenly shouted.

"Contract, come forth!"

The parchment resentfully displayed the previous [Shameless Fair Contract].

"Pen, come forth!"

After confirming the contents, Fang Yue shouted again, bit his finger, and wrote his name in the blank signature space in one go.

It was cool, but his finger hurt badly.

Fortunately, Fang Yue's name had relatively few strokes, otherwise the blood from ten fingers wouldn't be enough.

But he still had some opinions.

"Yangyang, is this thing of yours too retro? We use iris scans now."

The parchment ignored him, feeling complicated, both excited and painful as it retracted the words of the contract.

The next moment, Fang Yue immediately felt a strange connection between himself and the parchment.

It was a mysterious feeling. From that moment on, it seemed that his destiny was completely tied to the parchment.

And he did receive a message.

From now on, as long as he burns the lifespan of [Night's Dawn], he can overlay all the game data of [Night's Dawn] onto his real body!

Analysis Pupil, Starfire Heart Sutra, Starfire Saber Technique, high double attributes far exceeding ordinary physical fitness, and... Breath of the Night!

Fang Yue's eyes lit up.

It's true! The parchment didn't lie to me! I can really get extraordinary power!

Why is it specifically the game character from *Azure Sea*?

Why can I get the Descent character power by signing a contract with the parchment?

What is the relationship between the parchment and the *Azure Sea* game?

All the questions seemed to be pointing to one thing – this game is not simple!

Fang Yue was excited, his thoughts were surging, and he repeatedly asked the parchment.

But the parchment did not respond at all.

Fang Yue realized that he was confused. The contract stated that the parchment must help him through danger.

Now, the person in danger is not himself, but Bai Xiaoya, so naturally the parchment has no obligation to help him.

Moreover, only for things that help to overcome danger is the parchment required to display text according to the contract; it can refuse to answer other questions!

But on second thought, Fang Yue also understood that the [Unfair Contract] had actually reached the parchment's bottom line. Any further overreach would immediately lead to a breakdown and mutual loss.

Gain and loss, there are gains and losses. He can't let greed take over his brain.

Fang Yue thought secretly, while suppressing his thoughts, and tentatively asked.

"Yangyang, I'm going to help Bai Xiaoya now, but my character's lifespan is only enough for me to last for more than thirty seconds. Can you help me see if I will be in danger?"

The parchment didn't react.

"Yangyang, if you don't help me, I'm going to seal you for a month."

The parchment didn't react.

Fang Yue scratched his head, wondering why this trick didn't work.

But then he understood.

He signed a contract with the parchment, establishing an unknown connection. His little thoughts were probably seen through by the parchment long ago - having something that can help him predict danger at any time, if Fang Yue, who cherishes his life so much, doesn't look at it dozens of times a day, then he thinks his life is too long!

Fang Yue hesitated and said, "Um... Yangyang, you're not talking, does that mean I'm not in danger this time?"

The parchment didn't react.

Fang Yue raised his foot and said, "Then I'm going?"

The parchment didn't react.

"I'm really going?"

The parchment didn't react.

"I'm really, really going?"

The parchment didn't react.

"I'm really, really, really..."

[Get lost!]

Seeing the scarlet, angry words on the parchment, Fang Yue beamed.

"Okay! I'm going now!"

With that, Fang Yue collected the parchment, jumping several steps at a time, as happy as an elementary school student who had just finished school, and jumped down a flight of stairs in a few steps.

In fact, Fang Yue also thought about jumping directly from the stairs and then directly trying the effect of [Descent]... after all, it's night now!

But in the end, he still ran downstairs with a cowardly gait.

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

That is to say, in another 30 minutes, according to the original trajectory, Bai Xiaoya would die.

"30 minutes... I also have something I want to ask this mysterious landlady's daughter."

Thinking of this, Fang Yue, who had just gone downstairs and was already walking on the street with a swagger, quickened his pace.

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

Fang Yue was not polite, and sat directly next to Bai Xiaoya, leaned on the bench, and opened his mouth with four straightforward words.

"You're going to die."

Bai Xiaoya: ???

Bai Xiaoya had already noticed Fang Yue's return.

She had thought that Fang Yue would come back to admit his mistake, apologize, or find lame excuses to keep her here, or take her back.

But she never thought that Fang Yue's first sentence would be this.

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

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

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