Chapter 91: Bold

[Ding!]

It rang only once this time.

Noa didn’t have to yell at the system to stop, but the panels that popped up in front of him were relentless.

They covered his entire view.

A bit of overkill for the short message they were displaying.

» [Milestone Achieved]

» [You have signed your first Trade Contract with Mo Yuhua]

» [A recognized merchant pleaded loyalty and vowed to spread your name and secure rare resources]

» [A new feature unlocked: By using the influence of your contract workers, you can trade exclusive resources and convert them into Tycoon Points]

Noa nodded after reading the description.

It didn’t come as a surprise—after all, one of his missions had already granted him this exact ability.

Now, the milestone simply activated it.

’That’s good. Just like I envisioned it,’ he thought, looking at the woman before him.

Tycoon Points were hard to come by.

Luckily, his new missions gave him actual new features—like spreading his name, which had already earned him five TP.

But the next course of action was unclear.

Noa had to find or make his own path, forcing him to think before opening his mouth.

’I shouldn’t have to ask for rare resources,’ he thought, briefly closing his eyes. ’There is a lot I could say. Yet there is one thing I should.’

So he opened his eyes.

They met Mo Yuhua’s silent, polite stare and spoke without a ripple in his voice.

"You have seen what this place can offer. You have sold your soul to me, while others spend a lifetime chasing the door I have opened for you today. Remember that this store takes nothing, but it can give it back tenfold."

Each word he spoke carried a meaning.

Some were deliberate, hinting at her situation and her role to him.

But most of the understanding came from the listener, and as always, they tended to overthink everything he had ever said.

Even the rich, well-known, and smart Mo Yuhua was no exception.

Maybe she was even easier to manipulate after Karma punished her with death, sending a warning she had yet to forget.

That’s why she began overanalyzing his words.

Selling her soul part was easy to digest, as she was already aware that she had signed a contract with someone of a greater status.

Countless ideas surfaced in her mind.

However, she was far too careful not to pry into his mysteries, afraid of another punishment.

What mattered the most was how Noa wanted to use her.

At the beginning, she felt like her life might be useless to the divine entity. The only thing she could offer was money and power that shouldn’t have any real value to Noa.

After listening to his words, she also realized how fortunate she was to get this chance.

People spending their lifetimes to meet Noa?

She believed that instantly. Why wouldn’t they—when he might even shape the world itself? Who wouldn’t want to work for him, hoping to receive the scraps he might toss their way?

But the most important meaning was hidden behind his last sentence.

The store takes nothing...

Mo Yuhua quickly connected the dots.

She guessed that it was about the cheap prices the store operated on, which meant it was making practically nothing.

And if a store made nothing, it didn’t make sense for it to return it tenfold.

But it was Noa she was thinking about.

Understanding his reasons was beyond her, yet she had to know how to please him—to secure a safe spot beside him.

So, if she gave the store a lot more, would she receive even more?

Only a bold person would try this.

Only someone who had the utmost trust in Noa would dare bet on him with everything they owned.

Strangely enough, Mo Yuhua met both of these conditions.

After making up her mind, she bowed again. "Thank you for the chance. I think I know what to do," she said, about to leave the store.

Before she even took the first step, Noa sighed.

It was just a normal reaction, but the woman stiffened instantly, thinking that she had offended him somehow. "Y-Yes?" she asked, her heart racing.

"There is so much more you still have to try," Noa answered calmly.

There were no visible emotions on his face.

He was the same way as before, calm, unaffected, and silent, speaking only when he had to.

Mo Yuhua nodded.

She held her breath, but internally, she sighed in relief.

As for the offer Noa had just made, she was grateful for it, excited to experience them, and observe how they would affect her guards.

Speaking of the guards, it was her first time looking at them.

And though she couldn’t tell the difference in how their qi fluctuated, she still noticed a slight change.

It was thanks to her keen eyes.

They almost glowed, studying her subjects with interest.

Unseen aura around them had been shifted, influencing their confidence and posture simultaneously.

One looked even more muscular.

While the other seemed slower, as if each movement he made had more control.

It might have been unnoticeable for most, but the eyes that carried her from poverty to wealth could see it clearly.

’Do we have something for the eyes?’ Noa asked the system.

Though Mo Yuhua couldn’t cultivate, qi obeyed her—even if it happened subconsciously.

Hence, Noa got an idea for the next product.

He wanted to spend the five TP he got because people talked about his store.

But he was too lazy to search manually and asked the system to do it instead.

[You are asking something too broad.]

An answer came, but before Noa could think of more details, the system said and displayed the interface in front of him.

[Here is a product I am guessing you are looking for.]

Because of the sudden assault from the system, Noa’s eyes were blurry.

He blinked a couple of times.

Only after reopening them did he regain his clarity, finally reading through the description for the item the system had provided.
