56: Being noticed by big guys

However, even though he had concluded that a twenty-win streak in the Arena was an impossible challenge, Lin Chuan did not directly refuse the second option.

Since his rebirth, he had always grown stronger according to his plan, smoothly and without hindrance.

But this kind of growth had always been within his comfort zone.

If he couldn't step out of his comfort zone and challenge the impossible, then how could he reach his absolute limit?

So, even though his rationality told him that winning twenty consecutive matches in the Arena was extremely difficult, almost impossible, after a moment of contemplation, he still decided to complete this challenge!

He had to seize that tiny probability and strive to break through his limits!

Only by doing so would he have a greater chance of victory when facing a stronger version of himself in the future!

Lin Chuan's eyes became more determined than ever.

But facing the manager, he did not directly agree to the second option; instead, he haggled, saying, "I choose the second option: I can only terminate the contract after achieving a twenty-win streak in the Arena! However, for the compensation from the Arena, I'd like to exchange it for an advance of 100 carefree pointss."

The manager's eyes narrowed. "Are you trying to…"

Lin Chuan interrupted him, "You just need to tell me if you agree or not."

"Agreed!" The manager was also decisive in his actions, immediately making a decision and changing the contract.

This version of the contract, which required Lin Chuan to win twenty consecutive matches in the Arena, only needed an additional supplementary clause for an advance of 100 carefree pointss.

After the contract was amended, the Arena's seal was affixed to the Party A section.

Lin Chuan then placed his fingerprint on the Party B section.

The moment the contract was generated, a wisp of the power of rules merged into Lin Chuan's glabella!

Neither Lin Chuan nor the Arena could violate the contract.

The contract was in duplicate; the manager kept one copy and handed the other to Lin Chuan.

Afterward, he handed Lin Chuan a token. "This is your identification card for the Arena. It contains your ID number and the completion status of your monthly tasks. Additionally, if a customer challenges you, there will be a notification on your ID card."

Lin Chuan casually accepted it, glancing at his ID: Training Ground-AK658.

At the same time, his advanced 100 carefree pointss were also on the ID card.

After calmly retracting his gaze, Lin Chuan directly said, "Since the contract has taken effect, then please trouble President Duan to arrange an Arena match for me."

Duan Ge's pupils suddenly constricted when he heard this sentence!

He was indeed not an ordinary manager!

After a long while, he scrutinized Lin Chuan up and down again before finally handing him a business card. "My name is Duan Ge, and I am the President of the Miaocheng Chamber of Commerce in the Source Plane."

Lin Chuan casually took the business card, glanced at it, and put it into his dimensional ring.

He didn't say much, just nodded and said, "I'm going out for a bit and will be back before the Arena match officially begins."

With that, he lifted his foot and left.

Duan Ge, however, suddenly called out to him, "Little brother, wait, may I ask your esteemed name?"

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, a little surprised. "With your position, President Duan, wouldn't you be able to find out my information?"

"Indeed, I cannot," Duan Ge did not hide it, his expression solemn. "Little brother, the ticket you used is probably quite special."

It was indeed quite special; the ticket Lin Chuan used was two hundred times more expensive than others!

That dead drunkard, he didn't know if he was trying to help him or deliberately trick him!

Lin Chuan knew that ordinary people signing a servitude contract with the Arena wouldn't alarm someone like Duan Ge.

Most people's contracts even required going through an assessment.

But not only did he not go through an assessment, Duan Ge's attitude towards him was also too good.

This was not at all like Paradise's attitude towards newcomers.

Moreover, Duan Ge actually demanded that he achieve a twenty-win streak in the Arena!

Lin Chuan speculated that the ticket the drunkard gave him was indeed special.

It probably contained a hint of information: information that he was favored by a big shot.

And it was precisely this information that influenced Duan Ge's attitude and the standards of Lin Chuan's contract.

Lin Chuan lowered his eyes in thought for a moment, then casually made up a fake name: "My name is Gu Chuan Da."

With that, he left the reception room.

Not long after he left, a young man suddenly appeared out of thin air in that reception room.

The man looked subtly at the seat Lin Chuan had just occupied, then looked at Duan Ge, and whispered, "Uncle Duan, do you really think that kid can achieve a twenty-win streak in the Arena?"

Duan Ge shook his head, smiling, "Xiao Chen, you're thinking too simply about a twenty-win streak."

Duan Zichen was taken aback. "Uncle Duan, are you saying he can't complete it?"

"As he is now, of course, he can't complete it. But after three to five months of struggling in the Arena, he probably can."

Duan Ge's expression was very confident, as if he could see through Lin Chuan's future.

Duan Zichen, however, was a little worried again. "Then, Uncle, by binding him to the Arena like this, won't it…"

Duan Ge smiled faintly again. "Don't worry. He is, after all, from a lower Plane, so even if Ghost Lords notices him, Ghost Lords's attention to him won't be too high. I don't think he'll stand up for him over a small matter."

"Besides, our actions are also in accordance with Paradise's unwritten rules. Even if Ghost Lords wanted to interfere, he wouldn't find any fault."

Duan Zichen had always admired Uncle Duan the most; hearing him say this, he relaxed and smiled brightly. "In that case, Uncle Duan, please get me a VIP ticket for the Arena match. I want to see what kind of strength that kid possesses that would make Ghost Lords pay attention to him."

Lin Chuan was unaware of the conversation between the Duan uncle and nephew.

When he came out of the Arena, the two beautiful receptionists gently comforted him, "It's okay if you didn't pass the assessment; our Arena's signing standards are quite high. Sir, you don't need to be discouraged; strive to improve your strength and come again next time."

Lin Chuan didn't explain anything to them, just politely said, "Thank you."

He left the Arena, walked on the street for a while, and then found Hu Shilong and Alvin.

The two of them were looking embarrassed, being ridiculed by people on the street—

"Hahaha, those from a lower Plane really don't know their place! Do you really think that just because you were strong in your own world, you can still be strong when you come to Paradise? Dream on!"

"Do you know why Paradise tickets are so cheap? Because most people who come here can only look at the scenery and can't do anything else!"

"You low-level creatures from a lower Plane, how dare you even despise signing a servitude contract for us?! With your strength, it's your honor if someone is willing to buy you as slaves!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you still need a good beating from society! You even dared to complain that Young Master Chen's servitude contract was too ruthless? Let me tell you, if you refuse Young Master Chen's servitude contract today, you'll never earn 1 carefree points in your life! For the rest of your life, even if you enter Paradise, you'll only be able to look at the scenery!"

All sorts of sarcastic voices, all sorts of mocking glances.

Hu Shilong and Alvin both looked embarrassed, their eyes filled with shame and anger, yet they couldn't even utter a word of defiance.

Alvin was used to discrimination; he was quite good at enduring, quietly tugging at Hu Shilong's sleeve and whispering, "Why don't we just go back? Staying here is just self-humiliation and a waste of time…"

Hu Shilong knew he had a point.

But they had already each wasted 1 gold coin!

For them, even 1 gold coin was quite precious!

It was clear that 1 carefree points here could be exchanged for 10 gold coins.

But how could they not even earn 1 carefree points!

This was really hard to accept!

He truly regretted spending that 1 gold coin and couldn't swallow this insult.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "How about we follow the example of Big Shot Gu Chuan Da and also try to sign a servitude contract at the Arena?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of phlegm was spat at him with a "Ptooey!"

That Young Master Chen, who had just been laughing, now laughed arrogantly and wildly, "Sign a servitude contract at the Arena? You're dreaming! If trash like you, who climbed up from a lower Plane, can sign into the Arena, I, Chen Jingtian, will cut off my head and let you kick it around like a ball!"
