The agreement was divided into two versions: one where Qin Han Chu owed money initially, and another where the other party owed money.
Whoever lost would keep their version of the debt agreement, and the other version would be destroyed.
After the two parties finished reading the agreement, Qin Han Chu said, "If there are no problems, let's sign. We'll start once the signatures are done."
"You sign first!"
Qin Han Chu's calmness made the young man and Lao San a little uneasy.
Could Qin Han Chu really perform this magic trick anytime, anywhere?
Once Qin Han Chu succeeded, they would owe a massive debt.
Although their families could help them repay, they would inevitably suffer punishment.
He wanted Qin Han Chu to sign first, hoping to see if Qin Han Chu was just feigning composure.
Qin Han Chu wasted no words. He picked up the pen and signed the agreement.
Seeing Qin Han Chu sign so readily, the expressions of the two became very solemn.
Despite feeling a bit timid, with so many people watching, how could they back down?
Gritting their teeth, the two signed and stamped their handprints on the agreement.
Qin Han Chu looked at Qiu Shao and the others. "Do you want to participate? The prize pool is a staggering two hundred million."
"I'll play along," Qiu Shao said. His family was the wealthiest among them, with his personal savings amounting to tens of millions.
As he spoke, Qiu Shao approached the front desk and wrote his name on the agreement.
As for the others, they didn't have ten million to bet and remained silent.
Qin Han Chu wasted no more time. He said to Qiu Shao and the other two, "You can find..."
"I'm already prepared," Qiu Shao interrupted Qin Han Chu before he could finish.
With a wave of his hand, the young man's girlfriend handed over a watermelon seed.
"This watermelon seed isn't even mature," Zhao Lan said angrily upon seeing the seed handed over by the woman.
"It's just a magic trick, can he really accelerate the growth of a seed?"
"Right, you don't need to specify the type of seed, do you?"
Qiu Shao was a smart man, and he had also seen Qin Han Chu's magic tricks.
When he left the private room, he had already figured out how to disrupt Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu's magic trick likely involved issues with the seed, so as long as they disrupted Qin Han Chu's rhythm, his magic trick would fail.
He didn't believe Qin Han Chu would carry problematic watermelon seeds with him.
"Qiu Shao, you are indeed clever." Seeing Qiu Shao's actions, the young man and Lao San felt their spirits lift.
Qiu Shao wasn't giving Qin Han Chu the chance to request the "Golden Ring" seeds. Now, let's see what Qin Han Chu would do!
If he swapped the seeds, they could expose Qin Han Chu's trick.
Once the magic trick was exposed, Qin Han Chu would be the loser.
"This is bad," Wen Jianing sighed inwardly.
Wen Jianing's parents also became nervous.
If they lost, they would lose two hundred million!
Although it wasn't their money, it still made them feel distressed.
Zhao Lan Qing also felt heavy-hearted. He looked at Qin Han Chu and whispered, "Can you do it?"
Qin Han Chu smiled. "Of course."
Seeing Qin Han Chu still so calm, Zhao Lan Qing and Wen Jianing felt a bit more relaxed.
They were extremely curious how Qin Han Chu would make this immature watermelon seed sprout.
Taking the watermelon seed into his hand, he smiled and said, "Today, we won't need soil or water. I will directly use immortal energy to help it grow."
"What? No soil or water?" The young man's girlfriend exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone online speculated that the issue was with the soil and water. Now, Qin Han Chu was about to abandon these two elements.
Without water and soil, how would Qin Han Chu induce the seed to grow?
"Fine, I'd like to see how you do it!" Qiu Shao snorted.
Qin Han Chu clasped his hands together, the seed resting in his palm.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Qin Han Chu. Some people nearby were even recording videos with their phones.
Qin Han Chu closed his eyes, as if in devout prayer.
At that moment, he suddenly blew a breath towards his palm.
"The moment to witness a miracle has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Han Chu opened his palm.
"Holy crap, it's actually sprouting!"
"This is too miraculous!"
"Without soil or water, how did this seed sprout?"
"Right, and this watermelon seed wasn't even mature. How could such a seed sprout?"
"People online said he used super nutrient solution, but it seems that's not the case."
"How was this done? It's simply inconceivable."
The receptionists at the front desk and the surrounding onlookers were all stunned by the scene before them.
Qiu Shao and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
Under everyone's gaze, the tender sprout continued to grow at a visible pace.
"You lost," Qin Han Chu said, placing the seed on the bar counter. The seed was still slowly growing its tender sprout.
Qiu Shao and the other two had extremely grim expressions, as Qin Han Chu's success meant they would lose ten million.
"How did you do it?" Qiu Shao asked incredulously.
Qin Han Chu tore up his debt agreement and smiled. "I am under no obligation to reveal my secrets. Now, you can transfer the money to me."
"Fine, you win," Qiu Shao said with a cold face.
Qin Han Chu placed his bank card in front of the three of them. "The account number is this."
Although his heart ached, Qiu Shao took out his phone and transferred the money to Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu picked up a pen and wrote a receipt for Qiu Shao. Then, he looked at the young man and Lao San. "What about you two?"
"I don't have that much right now," the young man said awkwardly.
Lao San also said dejectedly, "I only have two million!"
"Give me whatever you have, and then write me an IOU," Qin Han Chu said calmly.
The young man and Lao San were filled with shame. They successively transferred two million to Qin Han Chu and wrote IOUs.
"Hurry up and repay the debt. There will be interest if it's overdue."
"Alright, we're leaving."
After collecting the agreements and IOUs, Qin Han Chu led Wen Jianing and the others out of the restaurant.
"Mr. Qin, how exactly did you do it? It's too amazing."
As soon as they walked out of the lobby, Wen Jianing's mother couldn't help but ask curiously.
Before Qin Han Chu could speak, Wen Jianing said, "Mom, this is Mr. Qin's signature skill. How can he reveal it?"
Wen Jianing's mother smiled sheepishly. "I'm just so curious."
...
In Qiu Shao's private room, the young man and Lao San looked like dejected eggplants.
An eight-million debt was no small sum. To clear the debt, they could only ask their parents for money.
"You two don't need to be so discouraged. Getting our money won't be that easy for him."
Qiu Shao gave the money to Qin Han Chu to save face.
Now that his face was saved, the next step was to get the money back.
"Does Qiu Shao have a plan?" the young man asked eagerly.
"Tonight, we'll find Tang Haiyi and have him send people to get the money back," Qiu Shao said fiercely.
"Good idea, at worst, we can give Tang Haiyi some kickbacks," Lao San said with a brightened expression and a smile.
"Not only do we have to get the money back, but we also have to beat him up soundly," the young man said angrily. "We must let him know the consequences of offending us."
Lao San pondered and said, "Should we investigate his background first? Having two hundred million in his account isn't the financial capacity of an ordinary person."
