I Contracted Myself-Chapter 81 – Treatment for being lost

After condensing the Contract Gem, he explained its effects to Ye Changchun. After listening, Ye Changchun picked up the gem, examined it briefly, and then decisively threw it into his mouth.

"Is that all?" Ye Changchun asked with a cheerful smile.

Zhang Ping was surprised. He hadn't expected Ye Changchun to swallow the Contract Gem without even considering it.

He immediately used his Appraisal Skill on Ye Changchun.

...

It really worked!

Zhang Ping was overwhelmed with emotion. He finally had his first Summoned Beast, even though he only had one chance to command it.

He took a deep breath and then smiled, "Grandpa Ye, I command you to never get lost or fall into despair again!"

"Alright!" Ye Changchun nodded with a smile.

Zhang Ping then used his Appraisal Skill on Ye Changchun again, and sure enough, the word "Lost" was no longer in his attributes.

"Ah, I remember now. I left Mingzhu City because I confessed to a girl and got rejected. Heartbroken, I decided to live in seclusion. Besides, I've gotten used to life in the wild; the city... doesn't suit me." Ye Changchun's eyes widened as he murmured to himself.

Then he looked at Zhang Ping with a bitter smile and sighed, "Actually... being lost isn't so bad. Sometimes it's good to be a little confused."

"Sorry, Grandpa Ye, but it's too late to regret now. I can only command you once," Zhang Ping said with a helpless smile.

Ye Changchun shook his head, looked at the calm lake, and smiled faintly, "Actually, I've let go of everything and seen through it all. But sometimes, being too clear-headed takes away the joy of life. Mingzhu City... I guess I still care a bit."

"So, Grandpa Ye, are you planning to take action?" Zhang Ping asked immediately.

Ye Changchun thought for a moment and then smiled, "Let's see what Brother Su decides first."

With that, he loudly called out to Su Qingbo again.

"Brother Su, there's a cure for your illness!!!" he shouted towards the lake, laughing heartily.

Moments later, Su Qingbo emerged from the water again. Ye Changchun quickly explained Zhang Ping's solution to him.

"It sounds good, but how can I be sure this isn't a scam? What if, Brother Ye, you've already been controlled by this young friend? If I believe what you say, won't I be controlled too?" Su Qingbo asked calmly after listening.

Ye Changchun pondered for a moment and then clapped his hands, "Right, what if I've already been controlled?"

"Grandpa Ye, do you know how hard it is for me to resist all those chaotic thoughts in my mind?" Zhang Ping said, dissatisfied.

Although he only had one chance to command, there were a hundred ways he could control Ye Changchun, but he didn't do that in the end.

Because he didn't want to live like a rat in the gutter; he wanted to live openly and honestly in this world.

Ye Changchun laughed, "Haha, I apologize, I apologize. Brother Su, you can completely trust... by the way, what's your name?"

Ye Changchun had never asked Zhang Ping's name before and didn't care what he was called, always referring to him as "little friend." But now that he had recovered from being lost, he cared.

"Grandpa Ye, my name is Zhang Ping. Zhang as in 'bow' and Ping as in 'ordinary'," Zhang Ping replied.

Ye Changchun nodded, "Brother Su, you can completely trust Zhang Ping. He's not a deceitful person. I trust him!"

"Then I'll trust Brother Ye this time. After all, not dying is still better than dying," Su Qingbo said, looking at Ye Changchun and nodding in agreement after confirming he was serious.

Zhang Ping closed his eyes again, concentrating on condensing the Contract Gem. After forming the gem, he suddenly remembered what Ye Changchun had just said and asked, "Senior Su, do you want to get rid of the lost state or just maintain your current state without further deterioration?"

"Is there a difference?" Su Qingbo asked.

Ye Changchun interjected, "There's a big difference. After getting rid of the lost state, I suddenly have a lot more worries. Although I can choose not to think about them, they are still there and won't disappear. Being lost is better; it's a rare chance to be confused."

"Let me think. My original personality was overly cautious and lacked ambition. In my current state, I'm actually more calm and less cautious than before. I'll choose to maintain my current state as long as it doesn't get worse," Su Qingbo analyzed and then decided.

Zhang Ping handed the Contract Gem to Su Qingbo and nodded, "I understand. Senior Su, now you just need to swallow this gem."

"This thing... is a bit hard to swallow," Su Qingbo frowned, trying several times to swallow the gem but ultimately giving up due to inner resistance.

Little Theron, lying at Zhang Ping's feet, was relieved to see this. It had just seen Ye Changchun swallow the Contract Gem in one go and thought there was something wrong with itself.

It couldn't understand why everyone else could swallow the Contract Gem, but it couldn't.

Seeing Su Qingbo also unable to swallow it, it felt reassured.
