"You said before that you could give me a chance to live," Cheetah said cautiously, looking at Lin Yang.
Lin Yang nodded: "That's right, I did say that. But you should know that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
"If you want to live, you have to pay the price."
The cheetah gritted its teeth: "I'm willing to pay any price as long as I can live."
"Very good." Lin Yang smiled. "Then, you can help me with my work from now on."
"As long as you remain loyal, I will not mistreat you."
Lin Yang waved his hand, and a stream of information poured into the cheetah's mind like a waterfall.
That's everything about Pawnshop No. 8, including its history, rules, and Cheetah's duties and powers as an employee.
The influx of information is extremely rapid.
But the cheetah felt as if its brain was being invaded by an invisible force.
It gently enveloped me, without the slightest discomfort.
Then, Lin Yang took out a contract, which was filled with clauses.
The cheetah glanced at it, took a deep breath, and pressed his fingerprint down.
She knew that at this moment, her fate would be completely changed.
As the fingerprint was pressed, an invisible force began to repair the cheetah's body.
She felt as if her body was enveloped by a warm current.
Every cell is frantically consuming this power.
In just a few breaths, her body recovered completely, even stronger than before.
The cheetah felt an unprecedented power within it, its heart filled with excitement and awe.
She knew that all of this was given to her by Lin Yang.
At the same time, she also felt that she had established a unique connection with Pawnshop No. 8.
It was as if an invisible bond tightly connected them together.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a pawn transaction. Current progress: 2/40]
Lin Yang looked at the cheetah, which had fully recovered, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.
He said, "From now on, you are an employee of Pawnshop No. 8."
"Your job is to collect souls abroad."
"The more evil the soul, the more I like it."
Upon hearing this, the cheetah immediately replied respectfully, "Understood, Master."
Lin Yang frowned slightly and corrected, "You can call me boss."
The cheetah quickly corrected himself, saying, "Understood, boss."
Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Then, your first task is to serve me."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Cheetah's face immediately flushed red.
Although her name is Cheetah, this was the first time she had done something like this, so she was inevitably a little nervous and shy.
However, she knew that this was Lin Yang's trust in her and a test, as well as one of her responsibilities as an employee of Pawnshop No. 8.
So, she mustered her courage and replied shyly, "Boss, I will definitely do my best."
That night, Lin Yang showed Cheetah what a real woman is like.
Chapter 107: Tomoko was blasted apart by a single sword strike!!!
The next day.
The night was as dark as ink, with dappled light and shadow under the streetlights.
Inside convenience store number 444, Xia Dongqing sat behind the cashier, idly staring blankly.
The shop was so quiet that only his own breathing could be heard.
And the occasional sound of the refrigerator cooling.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Xia Dongqing looked up and saw Lü Ziqiao walk in.
He wore a flashy shirt, a signature smile on his lips, and a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Hey, Dongqing, long time no see." Lu Ziqiao greeted him as he strolled around the shop.
Xia Dongqing was somewhat surprised: "Ziqiao? What are you doing here?"
Lu Ziqiao stopped and looked at Xia Dongqing: "I was just bored, so I came to see you."
The two had crossed paths before at the Love Apartment.
They met through their mutual friend Lin Yang.
Lu Ziqiao is outgoing and sociable, while Xia Dongqing is relatively introverted.
The two have complementary personalities and get along well.
Lu Ziqiao glanced at Xia Dongqing's work environment and couldn't help but curl his lip:
"I'm telling you, Holly, your job sounds so tiring."
"Having to stay here every day is so boring."
Xia Dongqing scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "There's nothing I can do, I'm forced to by life."
Lu Ziqiao's eyes darted around, and a smile crept onto his lips:
"If you ask me, you might as well change jobs and become a freelancer with me."
"I can do whatever I want every day without having to suffer like this."
Xia Dongqing shook his head with a wry smile:
"Ziqiao, stop joking with me. I don't have your good fortune."
Lu Ziqiao waved his hand dismissively:
"What's so difficult about that? As long as you're willing."
"I can help you find a job anytime."
Just as Xia Dongqing was about to refuse, Lu Ziqiao suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, is Brother Yang here?"
Xia Dongqing was taken aback: "Brother Yang? He appears and disappears like a ghost every day, I don't even know if he's here or not."
Lu Ziqiao smiled upon hearing this and said, "Then I'll go see him."
With that, he turned and walked toward the door.
As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xia Dongqing:
"Holly, don't forget to come to the next party!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, turned around, and walked out of the convenience store.
As Xia Dongqing watched Lu Ziqiao's figure disappear into the night, a sense of doubt arose in his heart:
Why is he suddenly so interested in Yang Ge?
The atmosphere changed abruptly the moment Lu Ziqiao stepped into Pawnshop No. 8.
Lin Yang noticed him.
In addition, he discovered something interesting.
That means there are two things that want to enter Pawnshop No. 8.
However, the road was blocked.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he thought to himself:
"Protons? It seems to be just a trick by the Trisolaran civilization."
Lin Yang had long heard of these alien beings who were attempting to lock down Earth's technology.
Their primary mission is to stifle scientific progress on Earth!
By interfering with high-energy physics experiments conducted by humans.
This caused the technological development of Earth's civilization to stagnate.
So that when the Trisolaran civilization arrives on Earth, it can easily conquer humanity.
However, what the Trisolaran civilization probably didn't expect was...
The situation on Earth was far more complex than they had imagined.
Celestial Realm, Underworld, Superhumans, Artifact Spirits, Magicians...
Various mysterious forces intertwine to form a complex and intricate world.
At this moment, Lu Ziqiao entered Pawnshop No. 8 and was shocked by the scene inside.
Upon seeing Lin Yang, Lü Ziqiao eagerly ran up to him.
"Brother Yang, your Pawnshop No. 8 is truly amazing!"
Lin Yang looked at Lu Ziqiao in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips:
"Ziqiao, I really didn't expect this."
"You will be the first person from Love Apartment to step into my room."
Lu Ziqiao looked around and paused, then said, "I just happened to be free, so I came here for a stroll."
"On the way?" Lin Yang chuckled lightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "I'm afraid not, Ziqiao."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Lu Ziqiao's face: "Brother Yang, what are you joking about? I just happened to be passing by and wanted to take a look."
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.
