Their commission was suspicious.

"Oh, I know him," Chen Luo immediately corrected himself.

Admitting and correcting one's mistakes is a virtue.

[A passing shrewd merchant]: Like a passing Kamen Rider, a merchant wandering aimlessly through different worlds. Whether it's the human realm, the underworld, or even more distant places, your footprints can be found.

His profession is businessman, but he always likes to take advantage of people's misfortunes, selling them what they desperately need when they're in dire need. It sounds like offering help in a time of need, but the price is always several times higher. As a result, he has amassed a vast fortune and is known as a walking treasure chest.

This is a brief introduction to the new identity that Chen Luo obtained in just a short time.

To Chen Luo's surprise, this unscrupulous merchant, despite his well-known reputation, also offered a great deal of personal items as gifts.

Describing this unscrupulous merchant as a walking treasure chest is indeed quite apt.

Overall, spending 800 Primogems on the identity application quest was definitely worthwhile.

Among the unscrupulous merchants' inventory were even strange things like "The Necromancer's Notebook".

It was precisely because unscrupulous merchants liked to travel to several worlds and meet a great many people that both the Night King and Ariel knew Chen Luo.

"You unscrupulous merchant, why are you stopping me?" the Night King asked with a deadpan expression.

"Don't look so grumpy. You haven't paid yet, so why should you get the service? Do you think you're called a swindler for nothing?" Chen Luo said with considerable pride.

Because of his mission, Chen Luo had already successfully assumed the identity of a cunning businessman.

This is called the role-playing method!

The more Chen Luo imagines himself as a shrewd businessman, the faster he can swipe through the shrewd businessman's list, and the faster Isamara can obtain her identity certificate.

“I can pay,” said the Night King.

"Come on, everyone knows that you, the Night King, have nothing but yourself. You even have to work at a pet store in the human world. What good things could you possibly have?" Chen Luo waved his hand.

“The Living Jewel.” The Night King pointed to Kyoko, who was still suspended in mid-air by the Chains of Heaven.

"King of the Night, so it was you who bewitched my student. How outrageous!" Ariel's voice rang out.

"Is it because your student is inherently wicked?" The Night King wouldn't deny his mistakes, but he didn't want to be unfairly blamed.

"I only gave her a life-giving orb; I didn't teach her to kill. She can accumulate magic power little by little to increase her resurrection count," the Night King said.

“But you didn’t refuse her offer of her soul to you,” Ariel said.

"That was his own choice."

"you……"

"You two stop arguing. Stop discussing who should be blamed for Kyoko's educational problems."

The sound of chains rattling rang out, followed by Chen Luo's warning.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's reminder, Ariel and the Night King stopped arguing and both looked at Chen Luo.

Ariel wanted her students back, while the Night King had no interest in Kyoko, who had lost her usefulness; instead, he wanted Chen Luo to kill him.

"You two seem capable of giving away Life-Giving Pearls, right?" Chen Luo asked the two of them.

"The Bio-Beauty Pearl is my patent," Ariel emphasized.

"Sigh, it's not a big problem. Don't you still have some magical artifacts? Give me some. Just give me ten magical artifacts for research, and I'll release Kyoko," Chen Luo said.

"And you... if you want my help, provide me with a few Life Orbs, and remember to stack up your resurrection chances a few more times," Chen Luo then said to the Night King.

"...Not interested." The Night King shook his head after thinking for a moment.

"Wow, you get interested in things quickly, but your interest fades just as fast," Chen Luo teased.

The Night King had just tried to take advantage of Chen Luo's Heavenly Punishment for free, but Chen Luo canceled it quickly enough, so the Night King didn't succeed. However, the Night King does have a considerable desire for death.

"Don't you want to die?" Chen Luo asked.

"Of course I want to."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【The Death of the Night King】: Is that a tongue twister? Anyway, that's the gist of it. If possible, it would be best if Yu killed him himself! And if that's convenient, turning him into a penguin and letting him live, grow old, get sick, and die freely would be even better.

Rewards: 1200~1500 Primogems + random rewards

Difficulty: Four stars.

It's clear that the Night King really wants to die.

Chen Luo was fairly used to the fluctuations in rewards, after all, this wasn't the first time a commission had caused such fluctuations.

In short, dying is the minimum requirement; everything else is a side quest that can be completed.

“But you don’t need to worry about it. I have my own methods.” The Night King stared intently at Chen Luo for a while before saying this.

"Ugh?"

[Your price is too high. Making him work like a laborer, crafting bio-orbs and accumulating magic power, is something he'd rather do for free with Yu. That way, he can also get Yu back her emotion called anger.]

In general, the Night King was very dissatisfied with Yu turning him into a zombie so that he could become immortal, because the Night King wanted to die but Yu was unwilling to do so.

However, the Night King still harbors feelings of friendship towards Yu.

The series of things the Night King did in the subsequent anime were not only to make Yu kill him, but also to make Yu reclaim the emotion called anger.

"Sigh, as expected, you guys prefer getting something for free to paying honestly!" Chen Luo looked at the Night King with disdain.

Q: When do people start to dislike their own flaws? A: When they see them in others...

“I can provide you with magical weapons, but only five at most. In return, you will need to release my students,” Ariel said.

Forcibly taking it is definitely not an option.

Unscrupulous merchants may not be good at much, but they're quick to run away.

In the background story, Chen Luo, a cunning businessman, roams countless worlds and is never caught because of his various amazing abilities, which allows him to be at a disadvantage against anyone.

"Deal." Chen Luo gave a thumbs up.

Chen Luo agreed so readily that Ariel felt she had lost out.

In fact, if it weren't for a sense of responsibility as a teacher, this would have been a real loss.

"..." Aikawa Ayumu, who was standing to the side, listened to the discussion among the group without saying a word.

Although Chen Luo and Ariel had reached a deal, Aikawa Ayumu always felt that the deal Chen Luo mentioned was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

As for why I feel this way? It's just from my personal experience.

The fact that you have to use a magnifying glass to see the complete contract left Aikawa Ayumu speechless.

After all, even if he could see the complete contract, Ayumu Aikawa, who was dying, would definitely sign it.

There must be a reason why unscrupulous merchants are called unscrupulous merchants.

There are only names that are given incorrectly, not nicknames that are given incorrectly.

"Snap!" After Chen Luo snapped his fingers, Kyoko, who had been hanging for half a day, was released by the Heavenly Lock, which Chen Luo then put back into his backpack.

"Cough cough." Kyoko, whose mouth had been gagged by the Chains of Heaven, coughed incessantly after being put down, proving her presence.

Suddenly, black mist spread through the former graveyard.

"Hmm?" Ariel suddenly sensed something was wrong, then commanded the gale to disperse the black mist.

The black mist was indeed quickly dispersed, but the problem was that the Night King had disappeared, and so had Kyoko.

"King of the Night...why didn't you stop him?" Ariel turned to look at Chen Luo.

But Ariel didn't seem very angry or anxious.

As a master who has taught hundreds of millions of students, Ariel is actually very intelligent and knows how to teach according to students' aptitudes.

However, because there were too many students, attention was neglected towards Kyoko.

As long as Kyoko doesn't fall into the hands of Chen Luo, who has extremely strong moral principles, it's fine. Because if that happens, Kyoko might really be killed. The reason why the Night King was able to take Kyoko away is that he still needs her, so Kyoko won't be in any danger.

However, condemnation is still necessary.

Maybe they can even reduce the number of magical weapons Chen Luo receives?

"You didn't ask me to stop her, did you? You didn't give me any money, so why should I stop her? All I promised you was to let Kyoko go," Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"But given the current situation, I have reason to suspect that you and the Night King made a pact..."

"Sigh, are people's sense of contract so weak these days? Here's a contract, a contract concerning those five magical weapons. Sign it. I'll help you get Kyoko back." Chen Luo said helplessly after tossing over a contract.

"..."

Although he kept trying to bargain with Chen Luo, the quality of the five magical weapons he had promised to acquire was not specified.

Besides, it would be a huge loss to have a conflict with the unscrupulous merchant over these five magical weapons.

So after checking that the contract was fine, Ariel signed it directly.

"King of the Night, I know you can still see this place. I suggest you return Kyoko quickly." As the contract turned into flames, Chen Luo shouted loudly at the graveyard.

"If she were useful, I would give her back to you. Impossible." The Night King's voice echoed in the graveyard.

"You just said it has no use anymore."

"Can you read my mind?"

"Uh, it's not a matter of mind reading or not!"

"She's still useful because the deal didn't go through. Unless you're willing to kill me outright."

"Impossible! If you want to die, you have to pay!" Chen Luo almost jumped up.

"Then there's no room for negotiation, you swindler."

"I'm warning you, if you don't give it back, I'll beat you up." Chen Luo raised his little fist.

"Ha, come on then if you dare. Others may fear you, but I don't."

The Night King spoke with great confidence.

Ultimately, the fear a person experiences stems from the fear of death. What was the Night King afraid of? The Night King was afraid of not being able to die!

Therefore, the Night King has nothing to fear now.

If you're so capable, come and hit me!

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"???"

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment when he saw the commission.

Chen Luo had never seen such a strange wish before; it was truly incomprehensible.

Chen Luo hadn't really intended to beat him up, but the nature of the commission changed once it appeared.

Once Chen Luo was in a serious state, he took out a turquoise longbow from his backpack.

The crimson Gungnir transformed into an arrow in Chen Luo's hand, while the power of the Herrscher of Binding was frantically poured into Gungnir.

Under the moonlight, the Elf Bow, which combines the elements of night and moon, becomes even more powerful, enhancing the arrows in its hand.

"constraint!"

The power of words, recognized and blessed by the world, was applied to the arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The attack from an extremely long distance arrived almost instantly.

The crimson arrow, after transforming into a meteor, struck Nou in the chest with lightning speed, just as he had taken Kyoko far away.

Before Ye Wang could even react in shock, Ye Wang's immortality restored Ye Wang's shattered heart, but that wasn't all.

Immediately afterwards, the tail of the scarlet arrow began to tremble, and several golden chains surged from the fletching at the arrow's tip, piercing through the Night King's limbs and pinning him to the ground.

The restraint barrier unfolded, forming a circle with a radius of one meter, enveloping the Night King on the ground.

The Herald of Restraint, combined with the power of words blessed by the world, caused the Night King to fall into an inescapable slumber after being beaten up.

In addition, the arrows carry a subtle hint that allows the Night King to lie obediently in the spot where he was hit for an entire day without being noticed by the busybodies around him.

"Honestly, I've never heard of such a strange wish in my life."

Want to get beaten up or something...

However, after firing the arrow and retracting the Elven Bow, Chen Luo felt it might not be enough, so he fired another shot with the Friendship Revolver.
