Misery: There is a pawn shop here

Chapter 151 Calamity and Good Fortune

The will to win or lose?

The strange bargaining chips and unexpected demands left both Mu Shaoai and Tan Wuyu stunned.

Compared to the wisdom and talent of the past, and the chivalrous spirit that laughs at the world, the desire to win or lose, or the desire to win or lose, seems so insignificant. How could such a thing be used as a pawn?
Tan Wuyu and Mu Shaoai's first reaction was that it felt strange. Then they realized that, given the style of Youjian Pawnshop, how could they do business at a loss? And what would the desire to win affect?

The two fell silent for a moment, pondering the potential consequences of their actions.

The desire to win or lose was the core of Tan Wuyu's life for the first half of his life. His battles with Su Huanzhen and the struggles with the Ouyang family were fraught with unpredictability in the martial world. Tan Wuyu once went into seclusion because of this, until he returned to the martial world to deal with the Geography Department. However, even after his return, his struggle with Su Huanzhen never stopped.

"The will to win..." Tan Wuyu murmured, his voice like the clear, cold waters of an autumn pool, tinged with a hint of obscurity. He looked up at the swirling mist behind the desk, within which a pale figure could be vaguely seen.

The desire to be competitive is a great human desire, but it is a double-edged sword. It can inspire people to strive for progress, but at the same time, it can also lead people into the abyss of fame and fortune.

"Shopkeeper, I never expected you to be interested in my competitive spirit. Could it be that it has a similar value to my intelligence?"

"That's up to you, Miss Yue, to decide for yourself," Li Xuanxiao said slowly, taking a sip of tea and looking at Tan Wuyu.

“Tan Wuyu…” Mu Shaoai looked at Tan Wuyu. He could naturally guess what Tan Wuyu was thinking.

A pawnshop will not make a loss-making transaction. What impact will Li Xuanxiao's request have?
"This is truly a rare benefit. If I could trade my competitive spirit for Aoxiao Hongchen, I would naturally not refuse such a deal," Tan Wuyu said frankly. "In that case, I agree."

“Tan Wuyu, you…” Mu Shaoai hesitated before speaking.

"Pharmacist, don't worry," Tan Wuyu said. "Compared to other options, isn't this a relatively mild price to pay?"

"But."

"Perhaps without this competitive spirit, Tan might become more likable, haha."

As the one who paid the price, Tan Wuyu appeared quite relaxed. However, at that moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the pawnshop. The door was pushed open, and Qin Jiaxian, panting heavily, rushed into the pawnshop with his two underlings, Ye Tuling and Yin Shiren.

"Wait a minute!"

"Qin Jiaxian?" Mu Shaoai and Tan Wuyu were both taken aback when they saw the newcomer.

Previously, when trading the treasures of the Thousand Evil Cave with Qin Jiaxian, Deng Jiuwu had used the same pawn token as Qin Jiaxian, which enabled Qin Jiaxian to enter the pawnshop. However, this was actually the first time Qin Jiaxian had entered the Youjian Pawnshop using the token. After returning to the Realm of Nothingness from his travels, Qin Jiaxian activated the token and rushed over after hearing what Wu Daoyi said. Seeing that Tan Wuyu and Mu Shaoai were still fully recovered, Qin Jiaxian breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're the pawnshop owner, right?" Qin Jiaxian looked at Li Xuanxiao. Seeing that the other party was like a cloud of mist, Qin Jiaxian frowned, but did not cause any trouble. Old Qin always believed in being pragmatic and speaking to people in a way that suited them. The pawnshop owner in front of him was clearly not someone he could say anything unpleasant to.

"I, Old Qin, will make a deal with you. I'll trade the rest of my treasured collection for 'Laughing at the Mortal World,' how about it?"

"Big Brother!" Ye Tuling was about to say something when Qin Jiaxian slapped him on the head. "Shut up!"

Qin Jiaxian didn't turn his head, but stared intently at Li Xuanxiao. He didn't know what conditions Li Xuanxiao, Mu Shaoai, and Tan Wuyu had offered, but as a businessman, Qin Jiaxian knew very well that such conditions would definitely be profitable for the pawnshop. However, Mu Shaoai and Tan Wuyu were the two most important people in the righteous path at present, and they could not be allowed to get into trouble under any circumstances.

"The same half for one person seems like a fair trade." Li Xuanxiao nodded slightly, but Qin Jiaxian did not feel any relief upon hearing what the other party said.

Sure enough, the exit was reached very quickly—

"However, Ao Xiao Hong Chen's strength and status are far beyond what the crippled Chuan Yu Xiao can compare to in terms of the righteous path of the Central Plains. Or is it that what you want is also a crippled Ao Xiao Hong Chen?"

"I, Qin, can raise the stakes. What do you want?" Qin Jiaxian said.

"Hmm? How about exchanging one-tenth of your strong luck, plus half of your treasures?" Li Xuanxiao looked at the dark purple and crimson luck on Qin Jiaxian's body.

A walking jinx, a living stroke of good fortune—these two elements are concentrated in one person. It must be said that the creation of the realm of suffering is truly miraculous. Such a lowly and base fate has given birth to such vitality.

"Okay!" Qin Jiaxian didn't hesitate at all. It was only one-tenth of the luck, and it was worth it!

"Qin Jiaxian." Only now did Tan Wuyu speak, "You..."

Tan Wuyu looked at Qin Jiaxian and suddenly felt a tightness in his throat. It was true that Qin Jiaxian was mercenary and slick, but at this moment he saw a burning fire in the man's eyes. The fire illuminated Qin Jiaxian's face and made the word "mercenary" shatter into dust.

"No need to persuade me, Tan Wuyu. Now that Su Huanzhen is gone, you and Mu Shaoai are the pillars. Try not to get into trouble. I, Qin Jiaxian, will handle these dirty and tiring tasks." As he spoke, Qin Jiaxian said to Li Xuanxiao, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry. After signing the contract and taking the people, we still have to go out and explore the world."

"Ha." Li Xuanxiao chuckled as he looked at Qin Jiaxian. The contract descended from the sky and landed in front of Qin Jiaxian. Without any hesitation, Qin Jiaxian picked up the pen and was about to write when Tan Wuyu and Mu Shaoai both stopped him.

"Qin Jiaxian, you must think this through carefully," Tan Wuyu said. "Even a ten percent of your destiny is not easy for you."

Although he couldn't see Qin Jiaxian's fate directly like Li Xuanxiao, he knew Qin Jiaxian's destiny. Over the years, Qin Jiaxian had faced many dangerous situations while roaming the martial world, which required strong luck. However, even with such strong luck, Qin Jiaxian had experienced life and death many times. Even a tenth of his strong luck could potentially disrupt the balance of Qin Jiaxian's fate, leading to unknown consequences.

"What Tan Wuyu said is true; this matter is probably even more concerning to your life."

"Don't worry, even if I, Old Qin, wanted to die, the King of Hell wouldn't take me."

With a stroke of the pen, Qin Jiaxian's name was inscribed on the contract.

Li Xuanxiao's voice then rang out.

"The contract has been signed."
