She really wanted the money.

But if someone thinks that having money means they can do whatever they want and makes demands that annoy her, then she wouldn't mind playing the role of a bandit for a while.

"The terms of the deal are simple: I want you... to join my sect."

"what?"

Tsunade, who was about to make a move, suddenly froze, looking completely bewildered.

[102. Author's Note on Launching the Book: Reading this is like picking up free money!]

It will be available tomorrow, March 1st. There may be a delay of about ten minutes because VIP memberships need to be activated. Please be aware of this.

Alright, now it's time for everyone's favorite part: the sympathy and sob story.

There's really no point in playing the victim; after all, it's a path I chose myself, and I have to grit my teeth and keep going no matter what.

Let me start with some good news. I'm sorry to everyone, but I've left the crowd and said goodbye to being single.

And with his superb licking skills, he won over his future in-laws, thus setting a wedding date.

This June, the eternally 18-year-old No-Face will get married and become a married person.

So if anyone asks me what I do all day besides writing, I always say I'm busy.

This is the answer.

Old Wumian is getting married, so he used up all of his parents' and his own savings to buy a house in the suburbs, which was just renovated before the new year.

Then, the wedding would require a large sum of money, so I had no choice but to borrow some first and try to pay it back as soon as possible.

When it comes to lending money, Lao Wumian only lends to relatives and never asks friends for help. Moreover, he always repays his debts as soon as he has the money. He has never defaulted on a loan. On the contrary, Lao Wumian has almost never gotten his money back after lending it out. Sigh.

Mortgage and other debts—to be honest, the pressure is immense. (I haven't bought a car; I'm poor.)

Fortunately, Old Faceless has a good wife. One day I asked, "What if my new book flops?"

She said, "So what if you fail? I can earn money to support you."

Although the doctor said my stomach isn't good and I need to eat softer foods, first of all, I'm a man, so I have to give it a try, no matter how hard it is.

Therefore, Lao Wumian sincerely hopes that every reader will come to Qidian to read tomorrow and support Lao Wumian with a first subscription.

Everyone knows the importance of initial order performance; the amount of data determines the subsequent exposure and level of attention.

Old Wumian's demands are not high. He doesn't ask for donations, just subscriptions, which would give him the opportunity to support a family.

All I can give back to everyone is to keep writing.

Let me explain the rules for extra chapters.

I'll release five chapters on launch day to test the waters. It's a bit low, but we'll take it slow and steady. My main goal is to boost subscription numbers.

It currently has 3 favorites. For every 4 more first-time subscribers, we will add an extra chapter!

As for donations, the old rules still apply: one extra chapter for every 10,000 donations.

There are currently 7-yuan rewards in total. 3 chapters have been paid back, and 4 chapters are still owed.

To thank everyone for their donations, I'm adding two more chapters. If more people complete the "Helmsman" series after the book is released, I'll add even more chapters, so don't worry about your donations going to waste.

Old Faceless never forces people to tip him; if someone has money and is willing to support him, Old Faceless won't be coy and say he doesn't want it.

But if you're short on cash, don't overspend. After all, nobody's money grows on trees. I appreciate your gesture, but a few cents to support a few subscriptions is fine.

If that doesn't work, at least give me a compliment and help promote it. Even if you're not satisfied with something, please be kind in your words and don't try to ruin my livelihood by selling pirated content.

Then there's the bonus chapter for monthly tickets. The new book monthly ticket ranking is something Lao Wumian definitely wants to compete for, but he's unsure of his subscription results.

Thus, one extra chapter will be added for every 200 monthly votes, with no upper limit, limited to the month of March only.

Finally, I wish everyone good health, academic success, a thriving career, and that you all find your other half soon and say goodbye to being single!

——February 28, 2022 Your forever loving Old Faceless

[Chapter 103. I've Been Tricked! (Five Updates, Seeking First Subscription!)]

"Join your sect? What sect?"

This was the first time Tsunade, who had been wandering around for so many years, had encountered such a situation.

While she was somewhat bewildered, she also suddenly became a little interested.

There's nothing else to it, it's just pure curiosity.

“The Gold Cult, a small sect with hardly anyone left,” Shinji said deliberately vaguely.

But Tsunade wasn't so easily fooled. "Hmm, add gold... Jashin, Jashin Cult?"

Adding gold is exactly what an evil god means!

Shinji explained with a serious expression, "That's not how it's translated. Although it sounds the same, the word 'gajin' originates from an ancient language of a small country, and its true meaning is 'to gain wealth'."

Tsunade nodded in sudden understanding, "Oh, I see..."

Then, with a loud thud, he slammed his hand on the floor.

Do I look that stupid and easy to fool?

Shinji rubbed his temples in exasperation. "It really didn't work. If it were an idiot like Hidan, he would definitely believe it. Besides, isn't everyone saying that big breasts mean no brains? Lu Xun ruined my life!"

So you're refusing?"

Tsunade suddenly sat up, making Shinji dizzy, then smiled and showed her teeth, "No, what I mean is, we need to pay more!"

Indeed, those who offer extra money are everywhere, or perhaps everyone is one of them.

Tsunade's idea was simple: the same old trick. She would agree verbally, then take advantage of him and then deny it.

"Sure, but you have to sign it."

Shinji pulled out an application form that resembled a contract: [Organization Contract Scroll] - System Product.

It only becomes effective if you sign your name on a voluntary basis.

Once it takes effect, it will form a pattern mark belonging to an evil cult on the body, which cannot be erased.

You can choose to withdraw after one year, and the mark will disappear after you withdraw.

He and Hidan have already signed.

Hidan's mark is on his tongue, while his mark is on the back of his neck, covered by his hair.

Apart from that, they have no other function, nor do they stipulate that they cannot kill each other.

Its only advantage is that it cannot be imitated by outsiders; it has a faint sensor when you get close, which is used for anti-counterfeiting.

This piece of junk only gives him ten for free. If he wants more, he has to buy them himself, one hundred curse souls per card. It's a real rip-off!

Tsunade took it and examined it repeatedly, but she couldn't find any contract power within it.

The text, format, and everything else are all wrong.

Although she wasn't particularly proficient in this area, she had carefully studied the contract scroll when she signed the spirit contract with the slug master of Shikkotsu Forest.

That kind of thing isn't something that can be used by just anyone writing a bunch of stuff; the requirements are extremely strict.

What she has in her hand now is more like something a child would play house with; even if she admitted it, no one would believe her.

How much money do you have on you?

"A deposit of several million taels can be withdrawn by any major country or gold exchange."

"make a deal!"

Swish, swish, swish...

Tsunade took the pen from Shizune and signed her name immediately.

Of course, just in case, she signed a completely fictitious name.

Anyway, after they've scammed this batch of money, they probably won't see each other again. At most, they'll write an IOU to each other later.

"Okay, here you go."

Shinji's smile remained polite as he looked at Tsunade's carefree expression, but he simply didn't accept the gift.

Glancing at the fake name that looked like scribbles, Shinji asked with some doubt, "Being a sucker is one thing, but why do you treat me like an idiot?"

"Haha, is it that obvious?"

After being exposed, Tsunade wasn't embarrassed. "Why did you insist on dragging me into your so-called cult?"

“I’ve already said this is just a deal, and rest assured, I won’t ask you to do anything, nor will I do anything in your name. If you want to leave the organization after a year, that’s fine with me.”

"My name. It seems you already know who I am." Tsunade's eyes suddenly turned dangerous.

"How many people don't know the name of the legendary Sannin of Konoha? I just never expected our first meeting to be so dramatic."

Shinji's open admission actually lowered Tsunade's guard slightly.

"Tell me about your cult of evil gods. It doesn't sound very good."

"Simply put, the original evil god cult was a villainous organization that worshipped an evil god, used the doctrine of unleashing slaughter, and secretly conducted human experiments."

Shinji's first sentence completely baffled Tsunade and Shizune. Wasn't he being a bit too blunt?! Could you perhaps soften it up a bit?

However, after regaining her composure, Tsunade knew that since the other party dared to say that, there must be a twist in the story.

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention. My companion and I were the test subjects used by the evil god cult for forbidden experiments. However, we were lucky enough to be the only two survivors out of tens of thousands of people."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's tense face immediately softened, and her eyes showed a complex expression.

Perhaps it was Shinji's experience that reminded her of a childhood friend.

As for Shizune, her face was filled with sympathy. She finally understood why Hidan was still alive despite suffering such severe injuries. It turned out to be due to human experimentation, which explained everything.

"After being used for a long time, one day, the two of us suddenly made a decision."

"That day, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly. On that day, the evil cult was completely gone, and corpses were everywhere."

“Since then, we have been free, but the mistakes we made before cannot be redeemed.”

"Until we wandered around and saw countless humans suffering from the threat and persecution of monsters, we decided to rebuild the Evil God Cult, a brand new Evil God Cult, an organization whose core doctrine is the extermination of all monsters!"
