Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Shen Chong grinned maliciously:
"Isn't what you're saying just like my loan?"
"It's all about bartering."
Lin Yang gently shook his head:
"No, no, no, that's usury. The interest snowballs and ruins people."
“Our No. 8 Pawnshop is a legitimate pawnshop.”
"The principle is fairness and reasonableness, and no deception of the young or old."
After listening, a sly glint flashed in Shen Chong's eyes:
"You mean, as long as I agree to pawn my soul?"
"You can grant me any wish?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly: "That's right, any wish."
Shen Chong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a cunning glint appeared in his eyes: "Alright, I want you to lend me my Qi."
Lin Yang smiled and said, "No problem."
Hearing this, Xia He could no longer hold back.
She quickly stopped her, saying, "Are you crazy? You borrowed his Qi."
"You will be controlled by him and become his puppet."
"He will continuously absorb your Qi."
"You will go on a killing spree because of the loss of Qi, until you are completely drained by him."
Shen Chong was furious when he heard Xia He stand up to object:
"You bitch, this is none of your business. You better get the hell out of here."
He glared at Lin Yang, his tone full of provocation:
"Do you dare or not? If you don't dare, then let me go."
Lin Yang laughed: "I just said that Pawnshop No. 8 can grant you any wish, but we need to sign a contract first."
After he finished speaking, a contract suddenly appeared in Lin Yang's hand.
The contract was filled with clauses, and every word was clearly visible.
"Sign it." Lin Yang handed the contract to Shen Chong.
Shen Chong stared at the contract in front of him, paused for a moment, and then said sarcastically:
"What era are we living in? Why do we still need signatures?"
"That makes sense."
Lin Yang snapped his fingers, and the contract in front of Shen Chong changed.
There's an additional facial recognition option at the top and a fingerprint recognition option at the bottom.
It's still a contract, just with added features.
"Look, I've made some improvements now."
Lin Yang pointed to the new features in the contract and said:
"Whether you want fingerprint authentication or facial recognition is fine."
"Of course, if you want a more traditional way."
"For example, I can also grant your request for a blood oath ceremony."
Shen Chong stared at the contract in front of him, stunned.
He had just suffered a loss and was just making a casual sarcastic remark to vent his anger.
I never expected the contract to be changed so easily, and even three more authentication methods were added.
Who exactly is the owner of this No. 8 pawnshop?
"I'll use my fingerprint." After glancing at the contract a few times, Shen Chong pressed his fingerprint without hesitation.
The moment the contract was signed.
A dazzling light instantly entered Shen Chong's body.
He felt as if his soul was being tightly bound by an invisible force.
The source of that constraint was none other than this No. 8 pawnshop.
However, Shen Chong showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
He stared intently at Lin Yang, and a contract appeared out of thin air in his hand—his Qi high-interest loan contract.
This contract is covered with a dense layer of fingerprints.
Each fingerprint represents a soul whose life force he drained.
Now, he is going to hand this contract to Lin Yang.
He wanted to make Lin Yang his puppet as well.
Lin Yang looked at the contract in front of him and extended his finger.
However, just as he was about to press his fingerprint, Lin Yang suddenly stopped.
He looked up at Shen Chong, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"What? You've changed your mind?" Shen Chong urged hastily upon seeing this.
"That's not it."
Lin Yang shook his head:
"I just want to know, how much Qi can you lend me?"
Shen Chong was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lin Yang to ask that question.
In his mind, everyone should be like him.
Having an endless thirst for Qi, I no longer consider quantity at all.
"I have very high requirements for Qi."
Lin Yang looked at Shen Chong:
"If you only lend me a little bit, then it's not very meaningful."
Shen Chong looked at Lin Yang and couldn't help but feel uneasy.
This was the first time he had encountered someone with such high requirements for the quantity of Qi.
However, he thought again, since Lin Yang had already become his puppet anyway.
No matter how much Qi is borrowed, it will eventually return to his body.
So, he gritted his teeth and decided to give Lin Yang a satisfactory answer:
"Alright, then I will lend you endless Qi."
Lin Yang then pressed his finger in satisfaction, and the contract officially took effect.
"It's over."
Xia He sighed and shook her head helplessly.
She knew perfectly well that Lin Yang's actions had undoubtedly led him into Shen Chong's trap.
No matter how powerful he is, once he presses his finger, he will be firmly controlled by Shen Chong.
In order to repay that huge loan.
They were forced to become killing machines, constantly devouring the Qi of others.
In the end, he will only be devoured by Shen Chong.
Xia He had seen this scene far too many times.
Every time, it's because someone is greedy for temporary power.
Ultimately, they became pawns in Shen Chong's hands, lost themselves, and eventually perished completely.
"Ha ha ha ha,"
The moment Shen Chong saw the contract take effect, a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
He grinned maliciously, as if he could already foresee Lin Yang's tragic future:
"You're finished, you're completely finished."
"Once you sign a contract with me, it's the same as you being sold to me."
"Now I will lend you my Qi."
"At that time, you will have to return more of my Qi."
"Until I completely devour them."
Shen Chong laughed maniacally:
"Of course, with your abilities."
"You can also continuously devour others in order to return your Qi."
He exclaimed excitedly, "In short, the more you devour, the stronger I become, hahaha."
Just as Shen Chong was laughing triumphantly and arrogantly.
The Qi within his body was like demonic energy that had been unleashed from its seal.
It surged wildly and violently into Lin Yang's body.
The black demonic energy formed twisted trajectories in the air.
Like a horde of evil demons, they roared and charged into Lin Yang's body.
"Huh?!!!"
