Death… And Me Chapter 1191: Depending on the Payment

Chapter 1191: Depending on the Payment

Liberf and the other two were taken aback by Roan's words. "What did you say?"

"30000 Merit Points per day," Roan repeated it once more. "Take it or leave it." Roan then began to walk away, not minding the reactions of those three.

"Wait just a second!" Eventually, Liberf came back to himself and immediately stopped Roan.

"What is it?" Roan asked with an annoyed expression. "Have you decided to take the offer? In that case, leave the request in the Mission Hall, and I'll pa.s.s by to register it in my name."

That's why Roan didn't like when those three simply appeared there, ordering him to come along. To get a helper, one had to go through the process of posting it in the Mission Hall's helper board. That way, both sides would need to fulfill their agreement, not to mention that half of the payment was given straight away.

"Hmph!" Liberf snorted after hearing that. "Young Master Kihin found out your healing and good comprehension abilities. Instead of charging for this service, you should happily come and help him. It's an honor to serve him as he is the great-grandson of Core Elder Tumao."

"Who the h.e.l.l are those guys?" Roan couldn't care less. "I have no use for that 'honor' of yours to start with. I have better things to do. If you want my services, it'll cost 30000 Merit Points per day, with the task registered in the Mission Hall." It wasn't like Roan didn't expect some to act high and mighty due to their positions and background, so he was prepared for it. Besides, he could use Etherian's name in case things got out of control.

Liberf couldn't help but stop Roan by holding his shoulder when he tried to leave. However, Roan just glanced at him in response. "What? Are you going to force me? Here? In the Sacred Land?"

The body cultivation technique repository wasn't very famous compared to the repositories for Soul Power and Divine Energy techniques. Nevertheless, it did have a few cultivators. Naturally, some of them noticed the commotion and were watching the show from the sides. In the end, Liberf had to let go of Roan's shoulder. "You definitely don't want to get on his bad side."

Roan shook his head, saying, "Wrong. I'm not trying to get on his bad side. I'm well aware that buying a fight against certain people would be annoying. However, you want me to work for free by simply using the guy's name. As you definitely know already, I came from a small country and just joined the Sacred Land's ranks. Unless you tell me that there are some benefits behind it, would you simply say 'Yes sir, it's my honor'?"

"This..." Roan's sudden change of att.i.tude took him aback. He was being arrogant a second ago, and he changed to that of a victim soon after. Worst of all, the ones watching from the sides couldn't help but comment in a low voice that Roan's words were correct.

"Since Kihin is part of Elder Tumao's family, shouldn't he be setting the example?"

"Merit Points shouldn't be a problem for him either."

"At least he could offer something for the help, right?"

With that, Liberf had to give in to save his young master's reputation. "Of course, there are benefits in helping our young master. Even if you don't get Merit Points, you can still ask for some advantages like being able to use the facilities of the Core Sector for some time. Our young master has a lot of influence."

Roan finally smiled in response after that. "Oh, is that so? Why didn't you tell me that beforehand instead of simply ordering others around? That would have been a lot faster. Come on, where can I find him?"

Liberf and his two companions didn't know whether Roan was being sincere or making fun of their faces, perhaps both. Nevertheless, it at least meant they would be able to complete their young master's orders. "Come with us. You need someone from the Core Sector to be with you if you want to enter that place."

Roan nodded and immediately followed the guys. He already had enough witnesses that could tell what happened. That would make things much easier if certain actions become necessary.

By taking the Sacred Land's teleport formations and using Liberf's credentials, it didn't take long for Roan's group to arrive in the Core Sector. The residential area there wasn't too far either. It's just that each home for the Core Disciples was ridiculously big. One of those would fit at least ten residences the same size as the one Roan lives in. 'So useless...'

The worker in the house quickly received Roan's group and brought them to the living room where Kihin was waiting. "So you're finally here, huh? Because it's against the rules to enter the private rooms in the cultivation repositories while someone is there, my people had to wait for you there for a long time, you know?"

Roan didn't seem to care much about it. "It's not like I can read minds and guess that someone is outside."

"True," Kihin answered. "Now then, let's get straight to the point. I heard from Calamara, or better yet, from someone who knows him, how you helped improve his Mantis Blade. I didn't take it to heart at first until Calamara used it once during a demonstration battle. I just so happened to get the recording from it and had to admit the changes to the skill were nearly miraculous. Too bad that guy doesn't want to share the secret at all. What about you, would you tell me what has been done?"

Roan shook his head, saying, "I'm under a Soul Binding Contract, so I can't say anything."

Kihin nodded in response. "I expected as much. Anyway, it wasn't because of the Mantis Blade that I called you out. Instead, it was because Calamara insisted that you were the reason behind the improvement. He boasted about how you could heal yourself from almost anything, even shattered meridians. Not to mention your so-called ridiculously high comprehension ability. Are those words true?"

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, "Whether it is true or not won't matter. You won't believe it until you see it for yourself anyway."

Kihin couldn't help but laugh. "Hahaha! I like you already! That's correct. I want you to be my helper for a new skill I'm creating from scratch. What do you say?"

Roan didn't mind, saying, "Depending on the payment, everything can be negotiated."
