New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 227 The Anti-Law Contract is Established!
"I have a solution!"

Nie Yin lowered her head, mustered all her courage, and let out a delicate, low shout to attract Yuan Zhu's attention.

From the moment she entered until now, she has maintained control of the conversation. This is the first time the other party has responded in a way that is not passive.
Oh? You've even learned to answer first.

The frog-killing girl lowered her head, silently reached her small hand into the somewhat oversized pocket of her coat, and pulled out a slightly comical 'cartoon leather frog wallet'.

How to put it? The hand-stitched seams on this genuine leather wallet are obvious, but the workmanship is not rough at all; on the contrary, it is extremely delicate. Several pieces of real frog skin were used to create a unique, girlish cartoon style.

The key is that these genuine leathers are all sourced from live, three-dimensional frogs, not from furry fabric. The finished product combines three-dimensional realism with cartoonish cuteness, without evoking any sense of the bizarre or frightening.

This is very difficult to achieve.

Cutting out a cartoon frog from fabric is simple. Replicating a frog skin 1:1 from a peeled piece is easy. But creating a 2D effect from 3D frog skin without it being repulsive or offensive is an incredible feat of skill.

At that moment, Yuan Zhu suddenly thought that if this girl joined [Happy Home], perhaps she could win over [King Mao Mao] with her 'frog wallet sewing skills' and be invited to join [Mao Mao Group] as a designer for [luxury children's clothing].

But now, she belongs to me!
Just as Yuan Zhu's attention was drawn to the 'genuine leather frog wallet', Nie Yin opened the zipper of the 'genuine leather frog' and reached inside with his whole hand. Then, he took out a handwritten contract the size of an A4 sheet of paper from the frog's mouth, two copies, and respectfully handed it to him with both hands.

He whispered, "Please take a look!"

"what?"

Yuan Zhu wasn't interested in the contract offered at the moment; instead, he was more focused on the frog and pressed, "Is this [wallet] a spatial device? Did you make it?"

Nie Yin shook his head in denial: "It's not a spatial device, but it has a slight 'folding' effect. I used double stitching. The surface frog skin was first cut into pieces, and different 'patterns' were drawn on the back. At the same time, the inner layer used the special stomach membrane of another spatial creature, the 'Qiankun Beast.' It was processed with a special pattern splicing technique that preserved the attributes of the 'Qiankun Beast.'"

Yuan Zhu: "How does it compare to a spatial bag?"

Nie Yin weakly replied, "I've never seen a space bag. This wallet can't hold more than 1 kilogram of items, nor can it hold overly sharp or pointed objects. It also needs to be fed regularly to maintain its activity."

Yuan Zhu reached out to touch the cartoon frog wallet, but the frog-killing girl trembled and gripped the frog's arm tightly, trying to pull back. But she held back in the end, biting her lip, lowering her head and freezing motionless, as if she were tearfully letting the strange uncle touch her beloved little wallet.

Yuan Zhu didn't notice the girl's overly complicated inner thoughts. Simply out of curiosity, he reached out and poked around on the frog-skin wallet, feeling the elasticity of the living creature's skin. Soft, warm, bouncy, and fragrant—it was quite fun, like squeezing a bouncy little balloon.

Is this thing alive?

“It’s an inanimate object. But the head can eat and store nutrients to provide nourishment for the internal stomach and maintain the ‘folding’ effect.”

Yuan Zhu: "Did this thing already exist? Did you make it based on the design drawings? Or did you design and develop it yourself?"

Nie Yin: "In the library, I came across a fragmented document on the 'Preservation of the Stomach of the Qiankun Beast,' and then, combining it with my understanding of 'frog skin preparation and engraving techniques,' I made my own personal item."

Because the process was too complicated and the cost (Qiankun Beast stomach membrane) was too high, coupled with the low success rate and the desire not to attract attention, Nie Yin only made this one 'cartoon wallet'. He kept it close to his body and never showed it to anyone. He never thought of it as a masterpiece representing his talent.

"You have great ideas, and your talent exceeds my expectations. Bring me the contract, let me take a look."

If Nie Yin's previous behavior only made him waver, the main reason for signing the other party was their good looks, timidity, and ease of control... making people irresistibly want to manipulate, tease, and bully them.

Now, the technology contained in this "wallet" has made him eager to sign the contract!

Snake: "Boss, do you think this [cartoon frog] could be part of their reverse PUA tactics on you? True hunters often appear as prey. Do you feel like you're 'too eager to bully her'?"

Yuan Zhu countered, "Don't you want to?"

"I really want to bully and torment her too! Just standing there, her delicate little body exudes a strong 'Come and bully me' signal. Hiss... She really is the [Innately Bullied Pure Junior Body]."

Yuan Zhu unfolded the contract, which consisted of two copies and totaled four pages.

Before walking into the trap, Nie Yin had already anticipated Yuan Zhu's prediction. This "employment contract" listed all aspects, including but not limited to a "confidentiality agreement," which would permanently keep Yuan Zhu's secrets and never reveal anything she did during the employment period.

Furthermore, the other party stipulated in the pre-arranged non-compete agreement that they would not engage in the same industry after the employment relationship ended. During Yuan Zhu's employment, all the "extraordinary academic achievements" obtained by the other party could be permanently transferred to Yuan Zhu at a price agreed upon by both parties, and the other party would completely relinquish possession of them.

In short, the two thin A4 pages were filled with treaty contents that Yuan Zhu had thought of and had not anticipated. Especially in the last paragraph, this "contract" could be bound by the "Pale Law".

In other words, this is still a legal employment contract.

Although neither of them are [Law-type] ability users, they can indeed borrow and introduce the power of [Law]. Just like those who are not [Knowledge School] ability users or ordinary people can purchase [Skull Servo] to perform simple basic operations.

After reading the contract, Yuan Zhu couldn't find any loopholes: "When you were studying at [Rain Academy], did you also attend courses in the [Law Department]? This agreement is very professionally drafted."

"[Laws and Regulations] is a basic required course, and 'employment agreements' are the key content. The academy has a large number of mature 'standard contract templates'. During the exam, you need to identify dozens of mainstream 'contract traps' and find the loopholes."

Nie Yin's words seemed to be a subtle hint to Yuan Zhu not to have any ulterior motives. She was a professionally trained individual capable of identifying traps and proactively drafting legal contracts.

If you're going to hire her, stick to the proper channels and don't worry about anything. She absolutely guarantees her professional ethics. Even if we were to conduct illegal 'taboo experiments' together, she would never betray me.

Moreover, the employment contract contains numerous unfair clauses, all targeting Nie Yin himself while allowing Yuan Zhu to reap the full benefits. It's a voluntary act of self-exploitation, a show of goodwill towards the employer, and a very passive pledge of allegiance. After reading it, Yuan Zhu couldn't help but sigh at how incredibly lazy and demanding today's 'graduates' are.' If this contract were on Earth, he would definitely be hanging from a lamppost.

Even so, Yuan Zhu shook his head regretfully and put down this formal yet unfair 'formal contract': "You wrote it very well, but I don't approve of it!"

Nie Yin: "I can change it!"

"Changes are not allowed! You know about the [Anti-Law], right? I want to sign an [Anti-Law Contract] with you! The contents of this contract can be retained, but I need to add a few more clauses, and ultimately the [Anti-Law] will bind this agreement."

[Legal Contract] and [Anti-Legal Contract] can be transformed into each other, or even be the same thing. The difference is that the former is an agreement made by the [Pale Law] and is bound and enforced by it, like 'heavenly rules'; the latter is a private version, more like 'private family law'.

By signing the "Anti-Law Contract," Yuan Zhu undoubtedly gained the upper hand. He could even breach the contract at the lowest possible cost and control the other party.

Nie Yin had clearly studied the relevant knowledge, and upon hearing the "Anti-Law," he instantly became vigilant and wary. He resembled a "frontline anti-fraud fighter" who had been brainwashed by Zhou Chu, filled with distrust towards the "Anti-Law."

Yuan Zhu: "I tricked you into signing, ptooey! I made you sign the [Anti-Law] not because of any conspiracy, but because a series of forbidden experiments in the future will involve the 'polluted energy' bound to the [Anti-Law]. Only by signing the [Anti-Law Contract] can you indirectly control this power."

That's not untrue. If Nie Yinruo wants to become his assistant and work together to develop the "Ultimate Shadow Warrior Series" which uses "Shadow Contamination" for dyeing and enchanting, she must be proficient in using "Shadow Power".

Yuan Zhu didn't presume that the other party would use [Shadow] as their 'core system'. However, maintaining a pure 'human (half-elf)' state would prevent the operation of 'Shadow Contamination'.

Therefore, the [Anti-Law] is indispensable. Yuan Zhu is even willing to take a step back and include the right to use the [Shadow Power] in the contract, allowing the other party to freely manipulate the [Shadow Power] without being corrupted or distorted, with all costs borne by him.

In other words, we're giving away the right to use the [Power of Shadow] for free, without any cost or side effects.

He had experienced a similar treatment in "The Happy Home of the Momo King," which involved wearing a uniform.

[Mao Mao Wang] seals his 'extraordinary power' within a [uniform], which can be used by the members of [Happy Home] without any side effects. They can even actively modify, adding other sources of contamination to alter, mutate, and enhance the [uniform's] strength.

However, this kind of "freebie" has its limits. When the strength of the "uniform" reaches the limit of the "species", it will face the challenge of upgrading the "anti-law contract" on the basis of the "free trial version" and becoming a direct employee of the "Furry King".

Or they could stop there and use the uniform as a high-end piece of equipment; or even worse, devour, digest, and absorb the uniform to develop their own 'knock-off' version, infringing on the copyright of [Mao Mao Wang].

Yuan Zhu's "Anti-Law" is the type that actively gives away benefits, giving away "Shadow Power" for his sister to squander for free, in order to develop and improve the "Shadow Frog Fitness System" for him.

Without signing this "anti-legal document," Yuan Zhu couldn't even truly hire the other party. Even if he hired someone else, it would only be a regular business transaction on the surface.

This also does not align with Nie Yin's interests and thoughts. She genuinely needs a "sugar daddy" to provide resources and an experimental environment to help her complete her transformation.

So the two sides hit it off immediately. Nie Yin replied, weak but not without principles: "I can sign the [Anti-Law], but I must also sign the [Law Order] to protect my rights."

This time it was Yuan Zhu's turn to think, and then he nodded: "Okay, but new content needs to be added to the [Anti-Law Contract]. You have studied the basics of [Laws and Decrees] and know how to identify traps and loopholes in agreements. So you must also know how to draft a 'contract' with hidden traps, right?"

Nie Yin remained outwardly calm, but his ears perked up with curiosity, and a certain emotion hidden deep within him was stirred: "I know a little."

“Excellent! I’m hiring you as my anti-law consultant. From my perspective, you’ll draft ‘enhanced anti-law trap contracts’ targeting other business rivals and clients. Can you handle it?!”

Even before the "Anti-Right Law" was established, Yuan Zhu had already revealed part of his ambition. He wanted to see how the girl would react, and whether she could be an accomplice to evil, thinking of her boss and acting in the company's best interests to persecute more of her kind.

Upon hearing this, Nie Yin's little ears perked up, and he was exceptionally excited and thrilled. Even his voice carried a rare hint of joy and eagerness: "I can do it!"

Snake: "Is this guy a hypocrite? Something's not right."

Yuan Zhu: "It's not surprising that there's a contrast between her intense negative emotions and her behavior. When bullied to the extreme, one either commits suicide or becomes corrupted. This young girl is gentle on the outside but resilient on the inside; she's a good candidate for corruption and worth nurturing."

Snake: "Your Majesty, I have a plan! Your two attempts to probe her have yielded good feedback. Whether you revealed your intention to conduct illegal and taboo research or hinted that you were setting more 'anti-law traps' for her, her responses were very 'positive and encouraging.' Such a person deserves to be treated with sincerity. If you stop hiding your 'evil,' she is likely to respond positively, engaging in a two-way approach, gradually melting her frozen heart. This is a highly feasible PUA strategy!"

Yuan Zhu: "The CEO's corrupted secretary? Now, refer to the other party's [Employment Agreement] and draft an [Anti-Law Version]. Make the initial draft more lenient, and give her [Shadow Power] for free, with no side effects. After the cooperation deepens and both parties establish trust, try to use [Shadow] to gradually corrupt her and pull her into our camp. By the way, strengthen the 'Confidentiality Agreement' and make sure she can't afford the consequences."

After a series of seemingly weak counterattacks, but in reality, a firm defense of their bottom line and an unyielding struggle, Yuan Zhu and Nie Yin joined forces to draft two [employment contracts].

The two versions of the 'contract' are largely the same. The 'Lawful Law Version' incorporates the power of the 'Pale Law', primarily to protect Nie Yin's interests and prevent them from being unjustly embezzled by Yuan Zhu.

The "Anti-Law Version," however, places greater emphasis on Yuan Zhu's rights, establishing a series of more stringent "non-compete agreements." These agreements primarily revolve around absolute secrecy and the exclusive patenting of exceptional research.

"Happy cooperation!"

Once both contracts took effect simultaneously, Yuan Zhu instantly assumed all of Nie Yin's debts accumulated during his studies and life at [Rain Academy]. Furthermore, his second panel, [Anti-Law], was opened separately and offered to Nie Yin for free, allowing him to take whatever he wanted.

The moment the [Anti-Law] was achieved, a faint mental connection suddenly appeared between the half-elf and Yuan Zhu. This made the other party extremely tense, causing him to freeze and become immobile once again.

Yuan Zhu, through the [Anti-Law], captured the vague changes in Nie Yin's heart. At this moment, her mental world was erupting in a strong mental storm, dominated by shock, fear, panic, shyness, helplessness, shame...

The girl was overwhelmed and terrified by the soul connection brought about by the [Anti-Law].
