I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 526 - 129: Shadow Cabinet

"Fate..."

Listening to the enigmatic response from Deng, Yun You slightly furrowed her brows.

To be honest, she really didn’t like those who spoke in riddles. They had a way of complicating simple matters unnecessarily.

But at this point, besides Deng, she couldn’t find any other merchant, so she had no choice but to approach the vending machine and glance at the menu.

[1. Emotion Trading]

[I purchase all kinds of emotions—anger, joy, sadness, pain—all can be exchanged for the fate answer you seek. The more intense the emotion, the higher the value of the answer.]

[Please note that once emotions are traded, you will lose the ability to perceive that particular emotion, forgetting the content and effects of that emotion. If you wish to regain it, more effort and brain reconditioning will be required to retrieve the sold emotion.]

[2. Memory and Secret Trading]

[You can sell all your memories of an event or a single complete secret. The longer the memory, the more rich and stimulating the ’plot’ involved, the more significant the secret, the higher the value. Conversely, it will decrease.]

[Similarly, please note that once a memory is sold, you will permanently forget the related memory, even if others remind you of it or completely reconstruct the events, you will regard it as a ’story’ and not your own experience.]

Yun You glanced at these two business options and quickly dismissed them.

Memories and emotions, trivial as they may seem, are akin to small traces of feces on cerebral functions—some people have a natural lack of perception for certain emotions, or suffer from amnesia, making these costs seem insignificant...

But Yun You didn’t see it that way.

Because to an Apprentice Death God... or even an average human, memories are proof of existence, while emotions are the root of power.

Exchanging these things for so-called "fate answers" seemed somewhat unworthy.

So she turned her attention to the final trade option.

[3. Contract Signing]

[Your current mood is skeptical. You can sign a "Snack Supply Contract" with me.]

[After signing the contract, you will need to provide me with some snacks regularly. In return, I will give you two "Fate Insights," which may bring benefits to you or unravel some enigmas in your mind.]

"How does this snack supply contract work?"

Yun You pointed to the vending machine menu, somewhat curious.

"Here, take this,"

Deng handed the crystal ball to Yun You and patiently explained, "After signing the contract, you will need to provide a ’snack gift pack’ each month. You don’t have to come to the Cosmic Library specifically; just put the items in the crystal ball."

"Then, I will use the power of the Stargazer to give you two Fate Insights."

"Of course, the variety of snacks isn’t fixed, but I hope you can include more filled biscuits... preferably strawberry-flavored."

As she spoke, Deng couldn’t help but wipe the corner of her mouth, her desire barely concealed in her eyes.

"Doesn’t seem like too harsh a condition."

Yun You pondered for a moment, then consulted "King" and Master Zero in her mind, eventually deciding to try signing a supply contract.

Although the snack gift pack Deng wanted wasn’t cheap, costing at least 300 Silver Cannon each, which would’ve been unaffordable for the previous Yun You...

But now, a weekly expense of 300 Silver Cannon wasn’t much of an issue for her as the chairman of the Huangxing Group. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Yun You operated in front of the vending machine, soon reaching the signature screen.

"By the way..."

Before signing, she paused slightly, glanced back at Deng, and asked, "What happens if I choose not to fulfill my obligations after signing this contract?"

Deng smiled and shook her head.

"You wouldn’t do that."

"My contract is not an ordinary commodity, or rather, all my commodities have their own intelligence. They only appear when they find a ’suitable candidate.’

"Since it appears before you, it proves that you will certainly honor this commitment, and the chances of breach are minimal."

"However, if there are irresistible factors like unconsciousness or being trapped in the Death Domain preventing you from supplying, the contract won’t be too harsh on you, provided you catch up on the supplies once you are safe."

Hearing this, Yun You felt relieved.

"It’s actually quite humane."

She nodded and signed her name on the contract.

As she finished writing the last stroke of her name, the contract transformed into a stream of light and gradually disappeared, but Yun You felt a faint awareness in her mind, reminding her to buy some snack chips for Deng every so often.

Though not strongly binding, it certainly existed.

Similarly, a similar awareness appeared in Deng’s mind, prompting her to reveal those so-called "Fate Insights" to Yun You.

"Let’s hear it now."

Yun You leaned on the vending machine and softly said, "I’m curious to see if you can say something that satisfies me."

Deng nodded, then closed her eyes, channeling the power of the Stargazer Sequence.

Watching her put on such a mysterious look, Yun You couldn’t help but think of those fortune-telling frauds.

Even in this technologically advanced era, some people still choose to believe in those mystical fortune-tellers, believing in so-called zodiac analysis and feng shui divinations.
