All Things Are Contracts

“Again?” Zhanyue beckoned to the ‘Wild Man’ watching him from afar.

The fighter codenamed Wild Man finally lost his temper. He roared to the sky, his muscles exploding, his entire body growing larger. His explosive power reached another level as he charged towards Zhanyue like a blur.

“So fast! Wild Man is angry now. This will be interesting to watch,” the crowd got excited.

However, in the next scene, Wild Man was sent flying back again. No matter how Wild Man charged, the result was always the same. The crowd now understood. This Wild Man was completely outmatched by Moon Cutter.

“Die! Die! Die!” Wild Man went berserk. He had never been toyed with like this before.

“What’s wrong? Angry? I’m not done playing yet,” Zhanyue smiled. He didn’t have a good impression of this Wild Man. Death in the arena was normal, but torturing someone to death, especially bit by bit, was somewhat perverse. After all, there was no real hatred between them. They were more like the same type of people, both selling their lives and strength to earn a living in front of the upper-class people. What Zhanyue hated most were people who betrayed their own class and took pleasure in it.

The next moment, Wild Man didn’t fly back but up into the air. Zhanyue had changed the direction of his kick. Wild Man was kicked up into the sky repeatedly like a shuttlecock.

The scene was dead silent until Zhanyue lowered his foot. Wild Man lay on the ground, motionless. He had been kicked to death, and from start to finish, Zhanyue had only used his left foot.

“This… this is too intense! Let’s congratulate fighter Moon Cutter. How strong is he really? Can he become the new king of the underground arena?” the host shouted in a high-pitched voice. Tonight’s story would surely spread widely across the star ship.

At this moment, Zhanyue could feel the gazes of many strong individuals on him. His strength had exceeded the upper limit of the underground arena. Someone like him shouldn’t appear here.

However, Old Bug watching the match hadn’t considered so much and was ecstatic. He had really found a treasure.

Just as today’s matches all ended and the crowd was dispersing, Old Bug and Zhanyue were held back.

“They’re here, finally here,” Zhanyue had been waiting for this moment.

“Gentlemen, an honored guest wants to see you,” a person who looked like an attendant came over.

Old Bug was excited beyond measure. Had Zhanyue conquered those upper-level people with just two fights?

“Five hundred thousand… The people above are offering five hundred thousand. How’s this price?” a mysterious old man came over and said to the two.

“Fi… five hundred thousand?” Old Bug was about to faint from excitement. With this money, he had a chance to either stay in the first level or bribe his way to the second level.

“What… what do you think?” Old Bug naturally didn’t dare to make decisions for Zhanyue. He couldn’t control Zhanyue.

“Me? I want to know, which level is this guest from?” Zhanyue asked. If he was only being ‘sold’ to the second level, it wouldn’t mean much.

“Well, for confidentiality reasons, we usually don’t disclose this. But I’m also looking forward to this deal being made. I can only tell you, it’s a guest from the top three levels,” the old man said cheerfully.

“Top three levels?” Old Bug’s eyes widened. Tonight, there were actually guests from the top three levels watching the fight, and they had their eye on Zhanyue at first sight. This was extraordinary.

“Top three levels? Alright,” Zhanyue nodded. Going to the top three levels would make it much easier to meet the so-called Ink Sea Lord.

“Keep this money for yourself,” Zhanyue had no use for this money. He couldn’t be bothered to wait for the profit-sharing. “Just give all the money to him later.”

The old man was slightly stunned, then nodded. “I understand.”

Old Bug was not only excited but also touched. He wasn’t sentimental though, after all, Zhanyue would soon be a person from the top three levels and naturally wouldn’t lack money. “Um… will we have a chance to meet again in the future?”

“Maybe,” Zhanyue wasn’t sure either. All journeys in this world were illusory, all actions were just to complete the mission.

“If there’s nothing else, you can come with me,” the old man said to Zhanyue.

Zhanyue nodded, then followed the old man. Only Old Bug remained there, as if in a dream.

The old man led Zhanyue to a room similar to an elevator shaft. This place clearly had formations, but it was unclear whether they were part of the star ship itself or if this world also had formation masters.

“When you go up, don’t speak carelessly. Only answer when they ask, and don’t ask what you shouldn’t,” the old man kindly reminded.

“Alright,” Zhanyue nodded, indicating he remembered.

Entering this small room, Zhanyue could feel it moving upwards like an elevator. The star ship was incredibly huge. After a long time, this ‘elevator’ finally stopped.

“We’re here. This is the ninth level,” the old man led Zhanyue out. Immediately, a beautiful maid walked over.

“Old He, you can stop here. I’ll take over from here,” the maid said.

“Hm?” Old He was slightly stunned. Could it be that it wasn’t a guest from the ninth level who bought this fighter? “Oh, it’s you, Little Ling. Could it be someone from the tenth level wants to see him?”

Little Ling nodded, “You shouldn’t ask more than necessary.”

“Alright,” the old man left, knowing his place.

“This… this guest, please follow me,” the beautiful maid said.

“Guest?” Zhanyue found it strange. He didn’t seem like a slave bought by someone, more like a guest?

The woman led Zhanyue into another room. A new ‘elevator’ continued to take them up. Zhanyue hadn’t expected to be sent directly to the highest level of the star ship, the tenth level.

“Miss, who exactly wants to see me?” Zhanyue was increasingly puzzled. What kind of people lived on the tenth level?

“You’ll know when you get there,” the woman didn’t say, only waiting for the star elevator to stop steady. Then she said to Zhanyue: “Just walk straight ahead and you’ll be there. I won’t go. Without permission, I can’t approach that place either,” the woman said.

“This?” Zhanyue was more confused. The woman didn’t continue to escort him but let him go alone.

“Because those are the master’s orders. I believe you’ll guess if you’re not stupid. The tenth level is the Ink Sea Lord’s territory, and only one person lives in this small world on this level,” Little Ling said, then left.

“……” At this moment, even if Zhanyue was stupid, he understood one thing: he had been exposed. The one who bought him was the Ink Sea Lord himself. It must be said that the scenery on the tenth level was beautiful and quiet, after all, only one person lived on the entire tenth level.

Zhanyue kept walking forward and arrived at a beach. This was an artificial beach. Other people’s swimming pools were like seas, of course actually much smaller than the sea, but it wasn’t noticeable at the moment.

Under a sun umbrella, a pair of snow-white long legs came into Zhanyue’s view. That person heard Zhanyue’s footsteps and asked straightforwardly: “What’s your relationship with Baizhi?”

Zhanyue was stunned. He hadn’t expected the Ink Sea Lord to be a woman, and even more, he hadn’t expected that she knew his purpose.
