76: I, Lin Du, never deceive beautiful women.

After Lin Du entered the game, he appeared directly on the recliner inside the shop.

At the entrance of the shop, a small black figure was curled up, its body seemingly trembling incessantly.

Seeing Lin Du appear, the black figure darted over with a "whoosh" and hugged Lin Du's thigh.

"Boss, I failed again."

Miss Bu Dong cried; this time, she was crying for real.

Her pretty face was tear-streaked like rain on pear blossoms, and the tears soaked the black cloth covering her eyes, dripping down one by one...

Lin Du found the sight somewhat amusing. "Big Miss, do you still want to buy equipment on credit?"

"If you need to, we can continue to draft a new contract!"

Upon hearing the word "contract," Miss Bu Dong's face turned deathly pale, and she shook her little head incessantly like a rattle-drum.

"No more credit, no more credit."

"I will never buy on credit again!"

Miss Bu Dong cried even more miserably.

As she cried, she untied the black cloth covering her eyes, wrung out the tears with force, and then tied it back over her eyes...

This action was foolishly cute.

Through a fleeting glance, Lin Du saw a pair of lively, large eyes.

When Lin Du first met Miss Bu Dong, he had rated her appearance an 8.5.

If he included her eyes, Lin Du felt that Miss Bu Dong's appearance could reach at least a 9 or higher.

She belonged to the innocent, pure, lively, and cute type!

Miss Bu Dong failing to clear the level 30 Supreme Secret Realm was actually within Lin Du's expectations.

As the most difficult dungeon in universe ol, it would be strange if players could easily clear the Supreme Secret Realm.

Even if Lin Du wanted to clear it, he would have to use quite a few methods...

"Miss Bu Dong, since you cannot pay back the money for crafting the equipment, let us begin to fulfill the contract."

"From today onwards, you are an honorable employee of the Ye Clan Merchant Guild!"

"Any questions?"

Lin Du's words were like a death sentence, and Miss Bu Dong cried even louder.

"Wuwuwu~~"

"Dear Boss, I am still a child, can you please let me go!"

Miss Bu Dong's pitiful appearance was truly endearing.

Lin Du nodded. "Sure, you can go."

"Huh?"

Miss Bu Dong was stunned.

Because Lin Du agreed so readily, she was actually afraid to leave.

"Boss, are you really willing to let me go?"

Lin Du nodded again. "That's right, you can go!"

Miss Bu Dong stood at the shop entrance; she wanted to step out, but dared not, feeling that Lin Du was brewing some conspiracy.

Finally!

"Wuwu, I'm not leaving."

"I will stay and work instead."

The expression on Lin Du's face frightened Miss Bu Dong; after considering it repeatedly, she still dared not take that step.

In fact, Miss Bu Dong made the right choice.

The two had already signed a contract; even if Miss Bu Dong wanted to leave, it wouldn't be long before she would be forced to return under the binding power of the contract...

Lin Du smiled and kicked the broom nearby to Miss Bu Dong.

"Since you have chosen to stay, let's begin!"

"The front and back rooms need to be swept every day. When there are goods to sell, you sell them; when there are no goods to sell, you can arrange your time as you wish."

"Little Silver, she is now your responsibility."

Silver King nodded respectfully. "Yes, Boss."

The following days were relatively leisurely.

Because he had offended the Peak of the Forbidden City and Zhao Yunsou, Lin Du did not plan to leave the Ye Clan Merchant Guild for the time being.

Around the guild, Lin Du could often see spies left behind by the Peak of the Forbidden City and Zhao Yunsou.

Under these circumstances, it was better to lay low...

"Boss, Boss, a beauty is looking for you!"

Lin Du was in the basement researching equipment crafting when Miss Bu Dong suddenly ran in hurriedly.

"A beauty?" Lin Du raised an eyebrow.

Miss Bu Dong nodded vigorously.

"That's right, a super beautiful big beauty!"

Lin Du put down the crafting materials in his hand and curiously walked to the front hall of the guild.

The person who appeared in the guild was somewhat unexpected to Lin Du; she was indeed a beauty, and the kind that was breathtakingly beautiful...

Ning Fengya's white clothes fluttered, and she stood there quietly like a proud white swan.

"Brown-Eyed Beauty, what wind blew you here?" Lin Du greeted her with a smile.

Ning Fengya was expressionless, her cold gaze landing on the clown mask.

"I would like to ask you for a favor!"

"A favor?" Lin Du asked in surprise.

Ning Fengya nodded.

"My younger brother wants to chat with Master Tie about blacksmithing advancement; I hope you can help bridge the connection."

"If you agree, you will not be short of your 'lifespan value'."

Ning Fengya seemed worried that Lin Du would refuse, so she specifically emphasized the three words "lifespan value."

Lin Du smiled.

The God of Wealth had actually come to his door on her own initiative.

This sister, Ning Fengya, seemed cold and ruthless, but she actually had some human warmth, which was somewhat unexpected to Lin Du.

"Brown-Eyed Beauty, I can help, but I do not want 'lifespan value'!" Lin Du said.

"You don't want 'lifespan value'? Then what do you want?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Lin Du's face.

"I want you..."

Ning Fengya arched her eyebrows, and a bone-chilling coldness erupted from her body.

"You are looking for death!"

Lin Du waved his hand. "I haven't finished speaking yet; what I want to say is, I want your protection!"

"'lifespan value' was certainly tempting, but right now, the most urgent priority was the issue of safety."

When Ning Fengya said she wanted to help Ning Yang make an appointment with Master Tie, Lin Du actually already had an idea in mind.

Compared to swindling 'lifespan value' from the shrewd Ning Fengya, Lin Du preferred to "communicate" properly with the simple and kind Ning Yang.

Ning Fengya's strength was so strong; if he only swindled some 'lifespan value' from her, it would be a real pity.

"Brown-Eyed Beauty, surely when you came just now, you must have noticed those sneaky figures at my door, right?"

"To tell you the truth, these people are from the Peak of the Forbidden City and Heaven and Earth Share Longevity. Their purpose in gathering here is to find an opportunity to kill me!"

"And the favor I want to ask of you is to protect my personal safety for half a year!"

After Lin Du finished speaking, Ning Fengya didn't say a word and turned to walk towards the door.

Seeing this, Lin Du was not panicked.

He looked at Ning Fengya's back and calmly said, "Brown-Eyed Beauty, I can help your younger brother change his class to an All-Round Blacksmith!"

Whoosh—

Ning Fengya's footsteps stopped abruptly.

The temptation of the words "All-Round Blacksmith" was simply too great; even Ning Fengya could not remain calm.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Du nodded.

"Of course."

"I never deceive beauties!"
