Should I sell myself or not?

No!

Why do all of you overthink so much?

First Senior Sister, and now this girl.

Did I say anything extra?

Did I make any suggestive gestures?

How did it become 'I'm interested in you'?

Also, he really hadn't noticed that Gu Zhiyun, who usually seemed so clever, was actually so narcissistic in private!

Although... this girl was indeed beautiful and had a good figure, so she had the capital to be narcissistic.

But heaven and earth bear witness, he really didn't mean that!

He was here to talk business, not to fall in love!

"Ahem, stop, stop!"

"What is all this about?"

Lin Mo quickly waved his hand, interrupting Gu Zhiyun's endless fantasies.

If he let her continue, she might even fast-forward to discussing their future children's names.

"Forget it, I'll just be direct, lest you misunderstand again."

Lin Mo took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious.

"Xiao Yun, listen carefully."

"I do indeed have a great Opportunity that I want to give you, that's true."

"But this Opportunity is not free; it also comes with great restrictions and costs."

"That is, once you agree, your life will be under my control forever."

"Life and death will be decided by a single thought of mine!"

"So, I want to hear your opinion. If you're unwilling, I will never force you. I'll go find someone else now."

Seeing Gu Zhiyun's shy expression, Lin Mo no longer dared to keep her in suspense and immediately stated the core condition in one breath.

"What?!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the shyness on Gu Zhiyun's face instantly froze.

She widened her eyes, as if seeing Lin Mo for the first time, and instinctively hugged her chest, taking a big step back.

"Life and death under your control?!"

"Master-servant contract?!"

"And for life?!"

"Brother Mo... is this really your preference?"

"You... you don't have any special fetishes, do you?"

Gu Zhiyun was shocked, her gaze towards Lin Mo filled with wariness and horror.

It was as if Lin Mo in front of her had instantly transformed into a terrifying great Devil King who wanted to devour her completely.

"…"

Lin Mo was utterly speechless.

How exactly did this girl's brain work?

How could she think of such strange things?

Hiss... she's exactly like her Younger Sister!

"Forget it, I never said anything."

"It seems you're not interested, so I'll be leaving."

Lin Mo felt exhausted, finding communication with this girl truly difficult.

Since the other party was so resistant, there was no need to force it.

Anyway, there were still spots left; he could always find other Formation Masters later.

Having said that, he was about to turn and leave.

"Hey, wait!"

"Don't go!"

Seeing Lin Mo truly about to leave, Gu Zhiyun panicked.

She flashed and directly blocked Lin Mo's path.

"No more jokes!"

"Brother Mo, since you're willing to specifically come find me, it means you trust me."

"But this matter of life and death being controlled by someone else..."

Gu Zhiyun put away her previous playful demeanor, her expression becoming exceptionally serious and grave.

"It's indeed very difficult to accept, after all, this is entrusting one's life to another's hands."

"First, tell me, if I really agree..."

"What benefits will there be?"

She was a smart person and knew there was no free lunch in the world, but also that high risks often came with high rewards.

Since Lin Mo dared to propose such harsh conditions, it meant that the "Opportunity" he offered must be astonishingly great!

Seeing Gu Zhiyun finally return to normal intelligence and logic, Lin Mo also stopped.

"The specifics, I cannot elaborate on before you agree and sign the contract, because it involves my biggest secret."

Lin Mo looked into her eyes and slowly said.

"But I can briefly tell you a part of the benefits."

"As long as you agree..."

He extended three fingers.

"I can permanently increase your Comprehension Ability and Cultivation speed by thirty percent!"

"And..."

He emphasized his tone again.

"If you Cultivate within the exclusive area I designate, this enhancement..."

"Will double!"

"That is to say, Comprehension Ability increases by sixty percent! Cultivation speed increases by sixty percent!"

"In addition, there are some other benefits you can hardly imagine, but I cannot reveal them for now!"

Boom!

As Lin Mo's words fell, Gu Zhiyun's pupils suddenly constricted, and she froze completely on the spot.

"What... did you say?!"

"Does that mean... as long as I agree, my Comprehension Ability and Cultivation speed can increase by up to sixty percent??"

Gu Zhiyun's voice trembled, and her breathing became extremely rapid.

"Oh my god..."

"What kind of method is this?"

"Increasing Cultivation speed is one thing... but increasing a person's Comprehension Ability?! Are you serious?"

Gu Zhiyun felt her worldview had been greatly impacted.

While Cultivation speed was difficult to improve, it wasn't impossible with top-grade Medicinal Pills, grand spirit-gathering Formations, or blessed lands.

But Comprehension Ability... that was innate! It was something on the Soul level!

Reasonably speaking, with her experience and background, she naturally knew that there were indeed Heaven And Earth Treasures or supreme Divine Pills in this world that could enhance Comprehension Ability.

But those were all as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns, extremely precious items!

Even Saints would fight tooth and nail for them!

Moreover, even those divine objects had a rather limited effect on the improvement of Comprehension Ability.

An increase of half a percent or one percent was already a sign of extreme good fortune!

And now... Lin Mo actually told her that it could directly increase by sixty percent?!

How was this an Opportunity? This was simply Heaven-Defying fate alteration!

What did a sixty percent increase in Comprehension Ability mean?

It meant that where she used to need to seclude herself for months or even years to comprehend those obscure and difficult ancient Formation texts.

With this sixty percent boost, she might only need a few days, or even just a glance, to achieve an Epiphany!

For a Formation Master, the temptation was simply indescribably huge!

This meant that in the future, she would have every chance to fully grasp the Legacy of the Formation Dao Emperor, and even forge her own Dao to become an Emperor!

"This... this..."

Gu Zhiyun's heart pounded, her eyes filled with longing, yet also mixed with deep struggle.

This Opportunity was too great, so great that it made her frantic.

"But..."

"The cost is also great."

"If I agree, I will be controlled by someone for the rest of my life, entrusting my life to this man..."

She looked at Lin Mo, whose expression was calm, and fell into an unprecedented dilemma.

As a Formation Master, the importance of Comprehension Ability was beyond doubt.

But freedom and life were equally precious.

"Don't rush, you can think it over carefully."

"This is a lifelong matter; I won't force you."

Lin Mo saw Gu Zhiyun's hesitation. He didn't press her while the iron was hot but generously comforted her.

He had absolute confidence in the conditions he offered.

For an ambitious Formation Genius, this temptation was fatal.

"Thank you, Brother Mo. This matter... I really need to think about it carefully."

Gu Zhiyun took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions.

"Give me some time, and I will definitely give you a clear answer!"

"Alright, then I'll take my leave first and won't disturb you."

Lin Mo nodded, then with a wave of his hand, he directly vanished into the Void Realm, disappearing.

Only Gu Zhiyun remained standing there, gazing at the spot where Lin Mo had disappeared, her small face filled with an unresolved tangle of conflict and struggle.

"Sixty percent Comprehension Ability..."

"It's practically like getting a new brain..."

"Should I... sell myself or not?"
