The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei
Chapter 9 Unfair Terms
Time seemed to stand still as the little boy in the elegant suit walked around Huo Yuhao with a smile on his face.
"Do you know where my brother went?" The little boy had dark golden pupils, which seemed to contain flowing lava, or as still as an abyss.
He was smiling, but the sadness there was so real it was suffocating.
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and gently shook his head.
He had absolutely no idea what was going on, not even where he was or what he was supposed to do.
"If it weren't for the fact that your soul is bound to your brother, what I'm doing now is sending you back to your hometown!" The smile on the little boy's face gradually faded, and golden light began to gleam in his deep eyes.
The king's wrath will consume the whole world!
"People from another world are not very welcoming of you to Earth. So, where do you come from?"
Huo Yuhao's breath hitched.
Another world? Earth?
"Douluo Continent".
This strange naming convention... isn't it supposed to be a certain planet?
"Your name?"
"Huo Yuhao".
Why are you here?
"I don't know. Before this, my companions and I accidentally entered a place called Qiankun Wenqing Valley, where we were to undergo a trial. I... I guess I died? I opened my eyes and found myself here."
Huo Yuhao spoke honestly.
He felt immense pressure from the little boy, pressure that even surpassed that of the so-called examiner who had tortured and killed him thousands of times.
Most importantly, he discovered that he couldn't lie under the other person's gaze!
"A test? Death?" The little boy's expression grew increasingly grim. "So, if my brother turned into you, he would face a fatal crisis?"
The other world is not like here. Even here, Lu Mingfei would face a life-threatening crisis and might not be able to save his life. How much more so now that he has gone to a completely unfamiliar other world?
Huo Yuhao finally understood that he had swapped bodies with this little boy's older brother!
If that's the case, then it is indeed very dangerous.
[The project has been found to be facing difficulties; a supplementary package has been distributed.]
Huo Yuhao immediately rolled his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The little boy sighed.
Will there be a way out?
They've lost too many times already.
--------
"Ricardo M. Lu, that's what we all call him."
"Brother, you're actually very afraid of being alone..."
"Nice to meet you."
It turned out to be the case.
But if Lu Mingfei were like this, he would have no chance of passing the test of Qiankun Wenqing Valley.
Why did we switch identities? What do we need to do to switch back?
[The project team has received a valid employment contract (trial version I) for the "Exchange System Protagonist" project, based on the detected reasonable demands of the project owner.]
A paper contract appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand in the next instant.
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and looked down.
The little boy stood beside him, also looking at the few words on the so-called "contract".
"Because the project team detected that the main body of the project wanted to change the status quo, after systematic evaluation and rational planning, the project team hired Lu Mingfei from Dragon Raja and Huo Yuhao from Douluo Continent II: Peerless Tang Sect as guests to conduct a life exchange experiment."
Project objective: To explore whether different chosen ones can retain their status as chosen ones after exchanging worlds.
This project team only provides body swapping and basic information disclosure services. More services are coming soon.
During the project implementation period, the right of interpretation belongs to the "Exchange System Protagonist" project team.
Regardless of any objections, please confirm with your fingerprint. Otherwise, the project team will not be responsible for any consequences resulting from the project's failure.
The little boy shook his head: "It's an unfair contract."
It seems this contract comes from a higher dimension.
For them, other people's lives are nothing more than an experiment.
But even on Earth, there are countless "Trumans" out there. Don't humans keep all sorts of pets?
Even if they are kept as pets by higher-dimensional beings, what can these little goldfish, who can't even leave the fish tank, do?
"It looks like a makeshift operation," Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile.
It feels like this project team is the kind of thing where someone has a flash of inspiration, gets carried away, and just starts writing a terrible novel.
He, the so-called protagonist of "Douluo Continent 2: Peerless Tang Sect" and "Dragon Raja", became the test subject.
"How do I accomplish the main objective of this project?" Huo Yuhao pondered, looking at the glowing dotted handprint line on the contract, and signed the indenture with a wry smile. "Do I need to slay a dragon?"
Judging from Lu Mingfei's life experience, slaying the dragon, or rather killing the Black King, should be his ultimate goal.
But Lu Mingfei's abilities all come from the little devil Lu Mingze.
So he had no choice but to turn to the little devil for help: "You need Lu Mingfei's soul to help him slay the dragon, but he's gone to Douluo Continent now. Will my soul have the same effect?"
As an observer, Huo Yuhao understood things much better than Lu Mingfei.
Although this little devil kept saying he wanted to trade his soul with Lu Mingfei, even though Lu Mingfei kept dragging his feet on the deal, he didn't hesitate when it was time to act, and even gave away many additional services.
Furthermore, since the Dragon Kings are twins and the Little Devil calls Lu Mingfei "brother," Huo Yuhao actually suspects that the Little Devil and Lu Mingfei are also twins.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Mingfei remembered the little devil saying he was the one who most wanted to kill the Black King, Huo Yuhao would have suspected that the two of them were the Black King's twins.
The little devil rolled his eyes at him, clearly annoyed.
What does he want with the soul of this otherworldly being? Can this stuff even be eaten?
"Let me check if there's any information about Douluo Continent in this world first. You, just stay here and get used to it." The little devil turned and left.
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Only then did he realize that his current identity was—
Cowherd!
And originally, I was supposed to infiltrate Genji Heavy Industries with Caesar and Chu Zihang today—no, last night!
Huo Yuhao looked at Chu Zihang with an embarrassed expression: "Senior brother, would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"
Chu Zihang nodded, clearly believing him immediately.
Chu Zihang's answer left Huo Yuhao completely stunned.
Such pure trust...
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, boss, senior brother, it's my fault. Shall we try again in a few days?"
Chu Zihang did not answer. He seemed a little hesitant, but because of his facial paralysis and the fact that he was wearing colored contact lenses, it was difficult to discern his specific emotions from his face at the moment.
Caesar, however, tugged at the collar of his tight purple suit, a mischievous grin spreading across his nonchalant face. "You're not still dreaming, are you? Sakura, are you this composed and confident in your dreams?"
"Perhaps it really was a dream..."
