Their commission was suspicious.

However, upon closer reflection, the current situation is not so dire as to be beyond redemption. Although the Heavenly Emperor is indeed one of the strongest beings in Chen Luo's world, she cannot descend from here now.

It's a big problem, but not a big problem!

"Chen Luo, the contract in your hand..."

Even if Yukari Yakumo had poor eyesight, she still saw the contract that Chen Luo was holding in his hand, trying to get the little girl to sign.

Yukari Yakumo has excellent eyesight, so she immediately recognized the terms of the contract.

"???" Yakumo Yukari looked at the contract in surprise, then glanced at the little girl in front of her in surprise.

If Yukari Yakumo is not mistaken, this contract should be the highest-level confidentiality contract in Chen Luo's possession, without exception.

Because of the confidentiality agreement, Yakumo Yukari, Merlin, and Zhongli were all involved, pooling their wisdom and efforts to make up for all the shortcomings.

The contract in Chen Luo's hand is the one he said he would only take out in the most dangerous and unexpected situations.

Besides the sheer number of clauses in this contract, the more important reason is that this level of mandatory contract requires a lot of resources.

Using the Book of Contracts isn't free; Chen Luo has to pay a price, and creating such a complex contract undoubtedly comes at a high cost.

Recalling the look of astonishment on Chen Luo's face when he saw this little girl, Yukari Yakumo probably guessed what was going on...

"So, little sister, do you want to sign a contract? After you sign the contract, all these potato chips are yours." Chen Luo asked, looking at the Heavenly Emperor who had just taken the fishhook out of the angler's mouth.

Chen Luo never expected that the Heavenly Emperor would be interested in these potato chips, or rather, in the Time River water on them.

"You seem afraid of me?" The cute little girl, dressed in a beautiful palace dress, sat cross-legged on the bar floor and looked at Chen Luo with great interest.

"..."

Is this what you mean by being easily fooled?

Please, this is when she's most vulnerable. Do you really intend to fool a sane, ageless old woman who's lived for countless years and stands at the pinnacle of the entire spiritual realm?

Chen Luo thought the humanized plugin made a lot of sense.

Children are indeed easier to fool.

"It is indeed scary, after all, this is a bar that leads to different worlds. This is a big secret, and it's natural to be nervous if outsiders discover it. See this youkai next to you? She is the youkai sage Yakumo Yukari, who has lived for many, many years."

"You..." Yakumo Yukari was about to get angry when Chen Luo blocked her with one hand.

"No wonder I couldn't sense anything in this bar... Oh well, never mind. It's a very strange bar, so what?" the little girl asked, tilting her head.

Bewitch her, bewitch her!

Shut up!

My foot!

Does she look like she could be seduced?

[He is extremely interested in this bar, but doesn't want to reveal the young form of the Heavenly Emperor, which would put him at a disadvantage.]

After giving a somewhat unreliable suggestion, the user-friendly plugin provided Chen Luo with an analysis.

Chen Luo breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing the news from the detective talent. As long as the other party was interested in the bar, there was still room for negotiation.

After all, who can resist a bar that leads to other worlds?

However, she seems to have misunderstood something, believing that the definition of this "world" is actually a plane.

The talent plugin reminded me again.

When Chen Luo heard this news, his eyes lit up.

A misunderstanding? Good thing it's a misunderstanding!

"Little friend, judging from your ability to emerge from the River of Time, your identity must be extraordinary. I've also done some research on the River of Time, and I can tell you're definitely a powerful being. You must be under some influence from the River of Time to have turned into a child, right?" Chen Luo asked.

“That’s right, young man, you have good taste!” The little girl nodded proudly.

The Heavenly Emperor's situation is probably similar to that of the Curse of Time; while his body turned into that of a child, his mind also reached a similar level.

However, the future still has an impact on the past, which makes this child seem extremely difficult to deal with, to the point of being eccentric and mischievous.

Simply put, she's a little girl who knows a lot.

"Have you ever heard of a law called... the Dark Forest Law?" Chen Luo's eyes narrowed.

"Huh? What do you mean?" The little girl was taken aback.

"Survival is the world's first need."

"The world continues to grow and expand, but the total amount of matter in the larger world remains constant."

"Two different worlds cannot determine whether the other is a benevolent world."

"If we view the world as a painting of a dark forest, then every civilized world is a hunter holding a rifle..."

"In short, it's to prevent people from different worlds from coming to this bar and then revealing the coordinates of their own world due to scheming against each other, which could lead to a war between worlds. Therefore, everyone entering the bar needs to sign a confidentiality agreement. Otherwise, customers who come to this bar by chance will be blacklisted and will be unable to communicate or trade here in the future," Chen Luo said with a serious expression.

Thank you, Liu Cixin...

"That sounds like it makes some sense..." The little girl looked around the bar.

"It is based on this principle that the creator of our world set a rule for this bar: no one can hurt each other in the bar."

"That sounds good..." the little girl nodded.

This bar, where people from different worlds can interact, does seem to be a very good way to communicate.

Moreover, if they can't hurt each other, wouldn't the younger versions of themselves be able to "take refuge" here?

“Most importantly, your entrance is different from everyone else’s. The rest of us enter through the bar’s door, and as long as we remember what the door looks like, we can summon you anytime. But you’re different; you appear directly inside the bar. So, if you’re not willing to sign a contract, then we can probably say goodbye forever.” Chen Luo squatted down next to the little girl, explaining some common knowledge about bars.

Although Chen Luo's description was not at all like a "bar," he wasn't worried about anyone coming to cause trouble.

This was, after all, a very important matter, so Chen Luo directly used the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge to issue a rather stern warning in the minds of everyone in the bar.

Anyone who dares to interrupt Chen Luo while he's trying to fool the Heavenly Emperor will be kicked out by Chen Luo and blacklisted by the bar, no matter who it is!

Xiao Shi was no exception.

Uh, okay, there might be a slight exception...

But only a little bit.

However, having become a child-like Law Enforcer, he seemed more mature than ordinary children, so he confidently assured Chen Luo that he would not be in any way...

"This……"

"So how about we take a look at the contract first? After you've read the contract, you can decide whether you want to officially become a regular customer of the bar." Chen Luo said as he placed a contract in front of the little girl.

The little girl took the parchment contract, tore it a couple of times, and then began to read the text on it seriously.

This bar is amazing, and so is the guy who calls himself the manager.

He can summon the river of time, and it doesn't seem to be a real river of time.

His value is high based on this skill alone.

Moreover, the little girl couldn't even tell what kind of paper the contract was made of.

The rule that forbids harming each other has indeed come true; the little girl tried it, and she couldn't even hurt herself.

Even I am so heavily restricted...

What plane is this guy in? What level is it?

Didn't those old fogies from the Abyss Plane say that the Abyss Plane and the Spiritual Plane are the top-tier planes? Although there may be other top-tier planes, there can't be any planes higher than these two.

A bunch of bragging old fogies...

However, judging from the bar's modus operandi and expected goals, it should be a top-tier world that leans towards order, with the aim of achieving the common development of multiple dimensions...

I have a feeling that if this plane establishes diplomatic relations with the Abyss Plane, they might go to war.

The little girl gloated as she looked at the contract.

As she watched, the little girl began to frown.

Isn't there a lot of contracts on this contract? And it's so complicated...

The little girl actually harbored a slight idea of ​​discovering a loophole in the contract and then actively exploring other planes of existence.

After all, countless planes represent countless interests.

Moreover, you can choose not to exploit vulnerabilities, but you can't be unaware of them!

The little girl suddenly looked up at Chen Luo, who was touching his head.

"Ahem, you're so cute, so can I pat your head?" Chen Luo asked cautiously after being discovered.

"No! No way!" the little girl refused outright.

"Here, have this bag of potato chips." Chen Luo handed over the chips.

"……no."

"I'll give you 100 bags later."

"This……"

"Don't worry, I don't know which dimension you're from, so you don't need to worry about your image. Add another 100 bags."

"Alright, I'll give it to you since you're so sincere." The little girl was tempted.

That's true. I don't even know him. I'll give him the 201 bags of potato chips...

As Chen Luo touched the little girl's head, her hair became a bit messy, and then her eyes began to change.

Whoever gets touched becomes a fool.

That's a great skill!

Chen Luo absolutely adores the head-patting gesture!

"Ugh, these contracts are too long, I don't want to read them!" The little girl threw the contracts on the ground in frustration.

She could have patiently read through the articles, but when Chen Luo touched her head, the little girl didn't want to read anymore; she felt dizzy just looking at the text.

"I've roughly read through it all, but your contract is too complicated, and there's no guarantee that there won't be any conflicts of interest in the future..." The little girl felt the hand patting her head, thinking about the 201 bags of potato chips, and instead of shaking off the hand, she said directly.

"Then let's set a contract period. 500 years," Chen Luo said.

"One year," the little girl countered.

"Deal." Chen Luo handed over the contract and then eagerly offered the inkpad.

I'm not afraid of haggling down a small price, I'm just afraid of the boss saying "yes".

"From 500 years to one year, is your time limit that flexible?"

While eating potato chips and having her head patted, the little girl unwittingly signed a confidentiality and non-aggression pact with Chen Luo.

Did I suffer a loss?

Chapter 1122 Chen Luo: I really envy your good relationship with the River of Time.jpg

Even after the bag of potato chips was almost finished, the little girl still didn't realize what was happening.

He haggled down the price from 500 years to a year, and the other party immediately agreed...

Did I suffer a loss? Or was I scammed?

The little girl was completely baffled.

And why didn't I try to bargain further? Was it because I was too embarrassed to haggle?

Damn it, I should have just said it would be a day!

But who would have thought that such an opportunity to communicate and trade with other planes would only be worth a one-year non-aggression pact?

So you really got scammed, huh?

"Since the contract has already been signed, just tell me the truth: how many years have the non-aggression pacts that others have signed been for?" The little girl couldn't help but ask as she looked at the contract that had disappeared into the flames.

"Alright, I only told you because I think we're destined to meet and I consider you a friend. Don't tell anyone else." Chen Luo sat down next to the little girl, summoned the illusory river of time again, and started fishing mode.

"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped," the little girl assured him, patting her chest.

"They didn't sign any contracts," Chen Luo replied, staring intently at his fishing rod.

"Huh???" The little girl was not sure if she had misheard.
