Gu Ningzhi frowned inwardly, feeling that Su Jiameng’s words held a special meaning, as if she had set a trap waiting for him to walk into. However, Su Jiameng was merely a teenage girl. Despite her talent, superpower, and brains, her age limited her scheming and vision, so it’s unlikely he’d fall into her hands... Thinking this, Gu Ningzhi nodded.

"As long as your requests aren’t excessive and within my ability, I can agree," Gu Ningzhi didn’t fully commit, giving himself room to maneuver, "as long as it doesn’t go against basic principles of life and conduct."

Su Jiameng understood what he meant by "basic principles," things akin to "not harming the Alliance," which were exactly her principles. "Rest assured, these two things aren’t difficult for you, nor will they trouble you..."

As she spoke, she secretly logged into the Plane Store, found goods from the Magic Plane, and amidst the dazzling array of magical items, found a special transaction contract scroll, which wasn’t too expensive—just five hundred Plane Points. Concerned she might need it later, Su Jiameng bought two. Hiding under the quilt, she took one out from the spatial grid. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gu Ningzhi became intrigued, developing an interest in the "two things" Su Jiameng mentioned.

She pretended to take out a milky white scroll with dark patterns from under the pillow, about four or five centimeters in diameter, made from some unknown special material. Since reaping benefits, Su Jiameng liked to browse the Plane Store at leisure; items from the Cultivation Plane were generally quite expensive, the cheapest starting at a thousand Plane Points, while items from the Magic Plane were cheaper and had various uses...

"What is this?" Gu Ningzhi curiously asked, the scroll seemed ordinary, but on closer inspection, one could feel a faint spiritual wave emanating from its surface, resisting outside peering. Even though knowledgeable, Gu Ningzhi couldn’t determine what it was or its purpose. But he would soon know...

According to the Plane Store product introduction, Su Jiameng slightly unfurled the scroll, inputted her spiritual power, and neat, upright pale gold letters appeared one by one. Gu Ningzhi watched the emerging text, his expression turning from puzzled to expressionless, "Can this thing bind people?"

"More or less..." After ten minutes, Su Jiameng handed the scroll full of text to him, saying, "If you agree with its content and confirm there’s no wordplay, you can input your spiritual power into it."

The contract’s principle is to store the spiritual imprint of the contractors; if one party fails to fulfill or breaches the contract, their spiritual power will be destroyed, leaving them at best an idiot, at worst a vegetative state. While in the Magic Plane, there are various ways to break contracts, in this interstellar plane, once signed, it’s set in stone.

Gu Ningzhi looked at Su Jiameng’s serious face, seeing she wasn’t joking, he felt a sense of absurdity rise in him. Life wasn’t a novel, where in reality would there be such a fantastical Contract Scroll? It’s not like it was written by "Princess Fusu" in a magic novel!

However, to ensure the success of this cooperation, he maintained utmost seriousness, meticulously examining the scroll’s content for any wordplay or loopholes. Only then did he consider whether to undertake the two tasks Su Jiameng proposed.

The two tasks indeed weren’t difficult and didn’t go against his principles, but... putting them into practice felt awkward.

The first task was for Gu Ningzhi to tell her who the executor of the second dangerous "Meteorite" mission was, preferably someone with high military rank and reliable. Moreover, that person had to always carry an item she gave. If these two conditions were met, she’d take on the task of eliminating those dangerous creatures, ensuring no genetic fragments remain.

What kind of request was this? Gu Ningzhi was utterly confused, not knowing what Su Jiameng had up her sleeve.

The second task required Gu Ningzhi to help her investigate nine people without compensation. Currently, the identities of these nine people were confidential. If Gu Ningzhi agreed, she’d unconditionally inform him about the mysterious powers she possessed...
