Chapter 541: Chapter 258 Time Book: The Closed Crimson Preferred [10,000 words, ask for monthly ticket]_2

Its learning capability was actually quite strong; since Mu Rufeng’s return, it had also begun to probe the external environment.

Mu Rufeng knew about it but had not restricted its probing behavior.

Thus, the Illusion Heart Ghost King gradually realized that it had traveled from a past era to a later one.

Although it couldn’t comprehend why, it did not hinder its capacity to think.

Speaking of which, it wasn’t originally an Abnormality from the Mysterious World but was sealed by an existence above the Ghost Emperor at the entrance using some kind of primal source.

What this primal source was, it didn’t know, but it had been born from it.

It didn’t understand much about the Mysterious World, but it knew its mission, which was to break the seal and let the Mysterious World descend upon Great Xia.

By now, it had understood what ten million soul banknotes meant, so it was shocked that Mu Rufeng had dared to spend that much directly on it.

“Enough fussing, keep hold of your Black Gold Cards. If you want something to eat, you can order it on the Gluttonous Cruise, and pay with the card,” Mu Rufeng said.

“Okay, Brother Mu,” Bai Jingwei responded first.

“Thank you, Daddy,” Little Ying also cheerfully thanked.

“Roar!” Xiao Long, unable to speak, could only respond with a roar.

The Illusion Heart Ghost King was still trembling and dared not to speak.

It was really frightened by Mu Rufeng.

These days, it was often tormented by Xiao Long as well; for some reason, Xiao Long enjoyed playing with it.

And it was not just playing; the hits were hard, and it dared not strike back.

“Ah, right, Brother Mu, it seems that we can’t go more than ten meters away from you. Are you going to the cafeteria with us?” Bai Jingwei asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xize quickly said, “You can scan to order food, and I’ll have the servers bring it directly to you.

“Great, great, thank you, Uncle,” Little Ying nodded repeatedly.

“You’re welcome, serving you is part of the job,” Zhao Xize smiled and waved his hand, summoning forth a black mist which eventually evolved into a two-dimensional code.

Bai Jingwei immediately pulled out her phone to scan the code, and after scanning, they all returned to their Contract Slots to order food.

Meanwhile, Mu Rufeng let Zhao Xize busy himself, then headed towards the Super VIP Suite.

…

In front of room 1518.

“Knock, knock, knock!” A server knocked on the door.

“Miss Lu, there is a guest named Mu Rufeng here to see you.” The server was an Abnormality.

Originally, it should have been players, but since they were all sent for labor, Abnormalities had to be put to work.

Soon, the door opened, revealing Lu Xueqing inside.

“Mr. Mu, please come in,” Lu Xueqing invited.

Mu Rufeng smiled slightly and walked straight in, and the server closed the door.

“Miss Lu, I came to pay for those supplies; how should I make the payment?” Mu Rufeng asked, sitting on the sofa.

“You can directly transfer the payment into the Heaven and Earth Bank Card of the Treasure Tower, do you know the card number?” Lu Xueqing inquired.

“I don’t,” Mu Rufeng shook his head.

“Actually, you could also open the Treasure Tower’s app; it should have the order details, and you can pay directly through there,” Lu Xueqing suggested.

“Ah, right, I downloaded the Treasure Tower’s app; how could I forget,” Mu Rufeng smacked his forehead and remembered.

Immediately, Mu Rufeng took out his phone and opened the app.

Indeed, he found the order for the items he had purchased in the app.

The total amount in soul banknotes was exactly as Zhao Xize had mentioned.

Mu Rufeng clicked to submit the order, then made the payment.

The original price was 2.61 billion and ten million, but he had a ten percent discount coupon, so he paid only 2.349 billion soul banknotes.

The ten percent discount was truly satisfying.

Even the forty million spent to get the card from Zhao Xize only cost him thirty-six million.

Mu Rufeng glanced at his remaining soul banknotes: 10.562 billion.

“Miss Tower Master, sorry for the disturbance. You can get some rest; I’ll leave now,” Mu Rufeng put away his phone, stood up, and prepared to leave.

“Mr. Mu, are you leaving already?” Lu Xueqing asked.

“Yes, I still have things to do,” Mu Rufeng nodded.

“Mr. Mu, you haven’t forgotten my cousin’s matter, have you? What have you considered?” Lu Xueqing asked.

Lu Xueqing had tried to reach Mu Rufeng several times, but he had not been in contact with the outside world during these instances, rendering him unreachable.

She got a headache just thinking of her cousin; she could not wait for a Contractor to take her away. Coincidentally, she had mentioned Mu Rufeng to her, and she agreed.

Now that she had found him, how could she possibly let Mu Rufeng just walk away?

“Sorry, Miss Lu, my Contract Slot is full; I probably can’t sign a Contract with your cousin,” Mu Rufeng said apologetically.

Mu Rufeng did not want to contract Lu Xueqing’s cousin, as he did not want his secret to be exposed.

The Abnormalities he had currently contracted were not of strong identities, and the contracts they signed had confidentiality clauses; they did not have the capacity to reveal secrets.

But the influence and connections involved with Lu Xueqing’s cousin’s identity were too broad, backed even by the might of the Treasure Tower.

Who knows if there might be another Level 9 organization? Ghost knows if they could nullify a contract, and even if nullification was impossible, modifying or hiding a clause could expose his cheating secret.

By then, the pressure he would face would inevitably surge.

“Last time I saw you, you were third-level and had an empty Contract Slot; now you’re Level 4 and have gained another slot, are they all contracted?” Lu Xueqing asked skeptically.
