Chapter 5 - Let's Work Hard Together in the Future
"Psh! What are you saying? This is just an ordinary Player Contract."
Ye Mo helped the young girl sit on the soft, large bed.
He diligently poured her a cup of warm water and let her hold it in her hands.
A profiteer-like smile appeared on his face.
"But what's being contracted here is a 'Wild God' Agent. I haven't even heard of this god. Who knows what kind of Class Card you'll give me? Besides… With my grades, as long as I can graduate smoothly, I can immediately obtain admission qualifications for the Six Saint Sanctuaries."
As she spoke, Ye Xiaoxiao shrank to the side, distancing herself from him.
Her soft, fair thighs were pressed together, her calves slightly splayed outward.
She stared at Ye Mo vigilantly and said nervously.
"Old Mo, you didn't join some Wild God believer's pyramid scheme organization, did you? How much commission do you get per order?! To make you so crazy that you won't even let me off?"
Making her sign a contract with another god's believer—how was this any different from transferring schools or dropping out?
Ye Mo's operation was similar to...
Asking a student who could get into Tsinghua or Peking University to apply for a third-rate vocational college.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Would I be that kind of person?"
Ye Mo brought over a small stool, sat opposite Ye Xiaoxiao, and coughed dryly.
"Let me solemnly introduce myself to you. Your brother, me, is now also a Divine Agent. Although I don't belong to the Six Saint Sanctuaries, creating an awesome Class Card for you is still no problem."
"You?"
Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked him up and down for a long while before realizing it in an instant.
"Old Mo! So you were waiting for me here, right? Do you remember what you told me before!"
Earlier, he told her to watch out for Wild God believers and guard against being scammed.
In the end, he turned around and became a Wild God believer himself?
Good heavens!
Just because we aren't blood-related, you're playing me like this, huh?
In today's society, many people owe a buttload of debt because they failed the civil service exam for many years.
Finally, out of helplessness, they had to go to extremes.
To worship dangerous Wild Gods.
But what guarantee did Wild Gods have?
Some extremely evil ones would even bewitch believers and brainwash them.
Making them trick other victims. If they didn't meet the performance target, these gods would even send down divine punishment on them.
Electrotherapy, pig cage immersion, kidney harvesting, and so on...
Until they squeezed out every last drop of value, turning them into a walking corpse.
Of course, the above were all relatively extreme Wild Gods.
Most of them still kept their promises, but...
Who could guarantee that the god one contracted wasn't some Evil God?
"Do you think I could be the same as those cult believers?"
"Aren't you?"
Ye Xiaoxiao blinked her bright, beautiful eyes and looked at him suspiciously.
"Of course not!"
Ye Mo spoke righteously and continued to guide her patiently.
"Think about it carefully. Even if you join the Six Saint Sanctuaries in the future, so what?
They have so many people. How great must the competitive pressure be?
You have no money and no background. On what basis would they give you good classes and good equipment?
In the end, won't you still have to take out loans and spend money yourself!"
"This..."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao hesitated.
"How many young people nowadays choose to jump off buildings and commit suicide because the pressure inside is too great and they can't bear the heavy load?
But it's different with me.
We’re family. Would your brother treat you unfairly?
Would I force you to work overtime and stay up late to raid dungeons?
Definitely not!
I'd even say that if good stuff drops, the first person I'd think of is you.
I’ll do everything I can to nurture you!
With others, could you have this kind of treatment?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes gradually widened.
'Holy crap!'
'What he says makes so much sense!'
'What do I do if I don't know how to refute him?'
She was somewhat confused by his words. Instinctively, she wanted to refuse, but for a moment, she couldn’t see any flaws in his statements.
Seeing her hesitate, Ye Mo laughed inwardly.
He grabbed the young girl's shoulders and stared at her with burning eyes.
The sudden action startled Ye Xiaoxiao.
Especially since Ye Mo's face was only a few centimeters away from hers.
She could even...
Feel the hot breath exhaled by the man.
Causing her to subconsciously bite her lip, her body to tense up, and even her breathing to become rapid.
Before she could react, Ye Mo struck while the iron was hot.
"As long as you come to me, us siblings will combine our swords, and you and I will no longer be separated from each other. I'll pay your debts! I'll create your life for you! We won't have to look at those people's expressions anymore. From now on, we'll be free and unfettered in this world. How great is that?"
These words made the young girl's heart thump, and her cheeks instantly became scorching hot.
Transforming into a Steam Girl, white mist sprayed from the top of her head.
"O... Okay! I believe you, alright?"
She turned away her burning cheeks and subconsciously pushed Ye Mo away.
Seeing that the timing was about right, Ye Mo handed over the kraft paper and pen to her.
Ye Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. After taking the pen, she signed her name on it as if possessed by a ghost.
"Done!"
The corners of Ye Mo's mouth rose, revealing a satisfied smile.
'This girl really is just like when she was little. Feed her a little pie in the sky, say some heart-to-heart words…'
'She's still very easy to fool!'
——————————————————
[Congratulations, Ye Xiaoxiao has become your Agent Player.]
——————————————————
Contract completed. Ye Mo successfully obtained his first player.
Next was creating the Class Card.
Then, entering dungeons to make money and embarking on life!
"Um... I signed the paper. You can give me the money now, right?"
Ye Xiaoxiao shyly pushed a QR code in front of Ye Mo.
"Oh! This..."
Ye Mo opened his balance and handed the phone to her.
It displayed: 0.88 RMB.
?
Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head, a big ‘?’ popping up above her head.
'What does he mean?'
The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger, but Ye Mo suddenly spoke at this moment:
"Right now, your brother only has this much money. You take it for the emergency first. Wait until I take out a loan and finish creating the Character Card, then we'll enter dungeons together and work hard to make money."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao exploded.
'Emergency my ass!'
'After all this, you're even worse off than me?'
Ye Xiaoxiao's chest gradually heaved, her expression stiffening bit by bit.
"No? Didn't you say that as long as I signed the contract, you'd help me pay the debt!"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with me having no money?"
"But if you have no money, how can you help me pay it back!?"
"Yeah, your brother has no money, so how can I help you pay it back?"
The two stared at each other, and the air suddenly solidified.
Ye Xiaoxiao felt like the sky was falling!
'So this bastard was just fooling me here, right?'
Thinking of this, the young girl gritted her teeth, wishing she could step on this guy's face with her foot and grind it hard!
She tried her best to take deep breaths and close her eyes, wanting to control her emotions.
But the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and then the more depressed she became.
Finally…
The young girl glared fiercely at Ye Mo, thousands of words converging into one sentence.
"Old Mo, you bastard!"
After speaking, she picked up her small leather bag in a huff and stomped away, ‘clack clack clack’.
Ye Mo laughed heartily.
Suddenly feeling in a great mood, after sending his cursing sister to the door, he opened the small iron cabinet on the side.
He took out a thick stack of letter paper, handed it to Ye Xiaoxiao, and instructed her.
"Don't send me money in the future. Who cares about two or three hundred a month?"
Actually, in the middle of every month…
Ye Mo would always find a letter in the mailbox at the door.
There was no content in the letter, only one to three red bills.
Sometimes more, sometimes less.
And the return addresses of these letters were all from Kaiyang High School.
Clearly, this was all saved by Ye Xiaoxiao at school through frugality and left for him.
Ye Mo didn't touch any of this money but had instead kept it safe for her.
Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned after hearing this, her pretty face turning red.
But immediately after, her willow brows stood erect, and she spat proudly.
"Pah! I'm not that kind-hearted. It was Mom and Dad who told me to give it to you!"
Saying that, she took the stack of letters and left the corridor after putting on her shoes.
Outside the residential complex…
Ye Xiaoxiao held the envelopes in her arms. When she walked outside the complex, a smile appeared on her face.
She knew very well that the reason Ye Mo ran away from home three years ago…
Wasn’t only to pursue his ideals, but also to lighten the burden on their family.
It was so that she could go to school properly and not drop out halfway.
This was also the reason why Ye Xiaoxiao, even knowing that Ye Mo was a Wild God believer, still signed the contract with him.
Even if there was no future, as long as they could be together, that was enough.
Thinking of this, the young girl couldn't help but look back at Ye Mo's building and murmured.
"Idiot! In the future... we have to work hard together."

T/N - Aw, what a sweet sibling relationship. Too bad they’re actually not blood-related, so my poisoned mind already knows where this is going. I really hope their relationship stays as siblings, but I’ve read too many web novels to naively hold on to that hope. 😅
E/N: I’m holding to that hope until stated otherwise. I want a normal sibling relationship for once. If the author delivers that. Author will be my god, and I’ll be their faithful divine agent.
