Chapter 392: Silver Ability, Absolute Verbal Contract

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘I can finally draw again!’

Su Yang reached in and picked a random table tennis ball.

A word was written on the table tennis ball, “Ability”.

‘Yes, another ability. Awesome.’

The table tennis ball and box disappeared and a second box appeared before him.

Su Yang reached in with ease. ‘6 balls as usual.’

Su Yang casually took one out. The letter “D” was written on it.

‘Hang on? It’s a D-rank ability. It seems like this ability is going to be much weaker than the previous two.

‘However, no matter what kind of ability it is, I will accept it. After all, this is a power that belongs only to me. It’s an ability that nobody can take away from me!’

The table tennis ball and the box disappeared again.

The last box appeared in front of Su Yang. On the box was a large “D”.

Just as Su Yang had expected, he would draw one of the D-rank abilities.

Su Yang reached in to grab the ball.

‘There’s no difference between a D-rank box , A-rank box or even a B-rank box, they all have a small opening with an infinite space within. The infinite space is filled with table tennis balls.’

Since Su Yang did not know what the table tennis skills were, he simply picked one and took it out.

After taking out the table tennis ball, Su Yang took a look at it. It read, “Silver Ability, [Absolute Verbal Contract]”.

‘[Absolute Verbal Contract]?

‘What kind of ability is this?

‘Why does it feel weird…

‘Verbal? Contract?

‘It seems useful, but fairly useless at the same time…

‘I suppose I should have a look at the ability introduction to know more.’

Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, the table tennis ball suddenly shone brightly and rushed into his mouth.

Su Yang shut his mouth out of reflex. However, he felt as if he had just eaten a piece of charcoal and it was burning inside his mouth.

He wanted to open his mouth to release the heat, but he realized that his mouth seemed to have been welded shut and couldn’t open his mouth at all. He thought his tongue was about to be burned and was completely pinned down by the “charcoal”. He was unable to move at all.

Thankfully, just as he was about to give in, the “charcoal” disappeared. What followed was a refreshing feeling.

Su Yang opened his mouth and panted heavily. It was a hot summer day, but the mist that he breathed out was clear as day. Obviously, the temperature in his mouth was really high.

Su Yang quickly poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down in one go which eased most of his discomfort.

He put down the glass, and a silver interface popped up before him.

Silver Ability, [Absolute Verbal Contract]

Ability: When you use this ability, whatever verbal promise has been made with another party, the other party will not be able to back out of it. The other party can neither take the initiative nor passively violate the promise.

Restriction 1: Apart from verbal, any form of pen and paper will not take effect.

Restriction 2: Regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, as long as you make a verbal agreement, they are unable to violate it.

Restriction 3: You can only confirm whether or not to add the other party’s promise to the contract within a day.

Restriction 4: You can only have three contracts at any given time which can be deleted or added.

Restriction 5: Only objective contracts can be made, subjective contracts cannot be formed.

*Note: For example, “I will always love you”. Because “love” is subjective, a contract cannot be formed.

However, if you say “I will be together with you forever”, a contract can be formed because “together” is objective. In that case, no matter what you do, the other party will not leave you.

Note, Who says a casual promise can be easily betrayed?

After reading the description, Su Yang’s jaw dropped.

‘This… is a D-rank ability?!

‘Bullshit!

‘This ability is obviously very strong!

‘This is an ability that requires the other party to comply!

‘Furthermore, due to the second restriction, regardless of whether the other party is willing or not, as long as I make a promise, I can force the other party to comply.

‘This is simply marvelous!

‘If I were to lie to some girl and say, “I’ll be together with you forever”, then… am I able to have 3 girlfriends?

‘Hold up! How can I do something that violates the values of a harmonious society!

‘But… it’s nice to think about it.’

At the thought of this, Su Yang used this silver ability.

He stood upright, faced the empty air in front of him and said in a low voice, “I want to form a contract.”

With that, a sheepskin scroll and a quill appeared before him.

The sheepskin scroll and quill floated quietly in the air. Su Yang ignored the quill and opened the sheepskin scroll first.

The sheepskin scroll felt a little hard and rough. After opening it, it wrote all the verbal contracts that could be chosen in the day.

‘Hmm… there’s only one.

‘It the one with Tang Xiaomi that’s about how she will keep my secret forever.’

Su Yang thought for a while. ‘Since I haven’t thought of what I could do with this ability for the time being, I might as well leave the contract as it is instead of removing it. After all, something doesn’t feel right if I don’t use my new ability.’

At that thought, Su Yang picked up the quill that was floating in the air and signed his name.

As Su Yang signed his name, the sheepskin scroll and quill combusted on their own. A notification popped up in Su Yang’s mind. [Absolute Verbal Contract successfully signed.]

‘That’s it?

‘But, nothing seems to have happened.

‘I thought that it would be like [Hands Of Fate (Level 1)] which made me feel like I have no sense of participation.

‘Participation! Give me some sense of participation! At least let me spew out fire or water!’

Just as Su Yang was complaining, his WeChat rang. Su Yang summoned an interface and took a look. It was from Lin Jiali.

When Su Yang opened it, Lin Jiali sent him an emoji of “looking forward to being with the big boss” with a little kitten with its twinkly eyes as it looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang habitually replied with a question mark.

Lin Jiali replied, ‘Hardy, your movie has exploded. Did you know that?’

‘What’s up with “Hardy”?

‘Is it a derivation from being a hardcore fan?

‘I can’t keep up with this amusing female celebrity.

‘However, how could I not know that the movie has exploded when I’ve been paying attention to the data?’ So, he replied, ‘Has it exploded? I have no idea.’

At Lin Jiali’s luxurious apartment at the Capital.

Lin Jiali was wearing silk pajamas and was lying on the bed with her phone in her arms. Her beautiful eyes were full of smiles.

Her wavy brown hair cascaded down the bed like the tail feathers of a peacock, making her face look even more exquisite and… beautiful.

She laid on the bed and looked at her phone while smiling like a cat that had stolen a fish. She was chatting with Han Yi. ‘That hardcore fan of mine is amazing, isn’t he? The box office has exploded! I’m even the female lead of the movie!’

As she texted that, Lin Jiali opened her album and sent a picture to Han Yi. The picture was obviously the data of the box office for “Fighting The Buddha” for the past 2 days.

After sending the message, Lin Jiali put down her phone and stretched out her arms with a look of enjoyment on her face. She laid on her bed and stretched her limbs like someone forming an angel in a field of snow as occupied the entire bed and was on cloud 9.

To be able to show off in front of Han Yi gave her a sense of accomplishment!

Actually, she had been through a lot these few days. As the female lead of Su Yang’s movie, she was very concerned about the success of the movie. However, she was more concerned for Su Yang more than herself.

After chatting with Tan Mei, she knew that Su Yang was the one who deliberately arranged for her to be the female lead in this movie. From her conversation with Su Yang, she knew that Su Yang placed a lot of importance on this movie and had always believed that it would be a big hit.

This was exactly what scared her.

The reason being she was unconfident with herself, ever since she debuted, everyone had said that her acting was bad and she was just a hollow husk. Furthermore, it was a husk that did not leave any impression.

To put it bluntly, her beauty did not stand out enough. Aside from being beautiful, she had nothing that could make her stand out since most of the famous people on the Internet look the same as her. This caused her to look more like an internet celebrity than an actual celebrity.

Therefore, her confidence was getting worse. She was afraid that she would cause Su Yang’s movie to fail, and she was also afraid that Su Yang would abandon her because of her failure…

She only had that hardcore fan, and he was a hardcore fan who was also her boss.

Therefore, for the past few days, she had not been eating or drinking. She had been thinking of ways of getting her hands on iQIYI’s data.

iQIYI’s box office rankings were not open to the public at that moment, so she could not find out for herself and could only hope to find out through someone. Finally… she found her former manager, Li Zijun.

Initially, she only wanted to ask Li Zijun if she had any connections to obtaining the data. However, she then found out that her manager had become Su Yang’s right-hand man!

Lin Jiali was dumbfounded.

‘What’s going on? Did my manager jump ship to work for my hardcore fan? Or did my hardcore fan poach me?’

Lin Jiali pondered over this question for a long time. In the end, with her amusing character, she came to a conclusion that surprised even herself. ‘Could it be that… Li Zijun is someone that Su Yang planted beside me?! To protect me?’

Thinking about the time that Su Yang had known her and the time that Li Zijun had spent as her manager, Lin Jiali suddenly felt that it was very possible.

This made her even more touched and was even more concerned about Su Yang’s movie.

After obtaining the data from Li Zijun, Lin Jiali felt depressed for the entire week. She could only sell it for a few hundred thousand a day. Although she felt that she could recoup her losses, it was still far from what Su Yang had expected!

For the past week, Lin Jiali had been living in worry. All she did was wait for the data. When the data arrived, she would sigh and blame herself. She felt that she had screwed Su Yang over.

After blaming herself for an entire week, Lin Jiali had completely lost her appetite…

Finally, the box office ranking list from the day before yesterday was released. When she saw the numbers for “Fighting The Buddha” on the list, Lin Jiali was excited!

‘My life has just been filled with hope again!’

She was afraid that Su Yang would not be able to recover from that week’s setback like her, so she hurried to look for Su Yang.

As for Su Yang…’So he really didn’t know.

‘Hehe.’

At the thought of Su Yang being kept in the dark, Lin Jiali coughed and put on a serious expression.

She replied, ‘You’re lucky for not being aware about the box office. Let me tell you, it’s terrible…’
