Their commission was suspicious.

"what?"

"Never mind, Sylvia, do you want to become an S-class talent?" Chen Luo lowered his head, thought for a moment, and asked Sylvia.

"Of course I want to, don't you?"

"I don't want to, because I'm already an S-level talent user." Chen Luo shook his head.

"...If you don't want your S-rank talent, then give it to me!" Sylvia said irritably.

"Okay, do you want it?" Chen Luo's words surprised and surprised Sylvia.

"Don't take it seriously, I was just joking. Besides, how can talent be transferred?" Sylvia quickly waved her hand.

"Who said talents can't be transferred? If you really like this 'Breaking the Cocoon and Becoming a Butterfly' talent, I can give it to you. However, you can't use the resurrection spell, as it comes with special items."

"Hmm?" Sylvia thought Chen Luo was just joking, but for some reason she felt that Chen Luo seemed to be getting more and more serious.

"Sylvia, come here for a second." Chen Luo waved to Sylvia.

"What are you doing?" Sylvia glanced at her sister Yvette, then at Su Yuan, who was playing a game with her eyes closed and wearing a helmet. Her heart raced, and she then sat down slowly next to Chen Luo, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Be a good person in your next life." As Sylvia's heart raced, wondering what Chen Luo was planning to say, Chen Luo pulled out a golden lightning dagger and stabbed it directly into Sylvia's...arm.

"Huh?" Chen Luo's actions were completely unexpected by Sylvia.

If Chen Luo wanted to kill him, he would not only have no reason, but he should have stabbed him in the heart or something similar, especially since his sister was sitting right next to him.

But since Chen Luo had already stabbed his own arm with a dagger, it was impossible for him not to want to do anything, yet Sylvia didn't feel any pain.

Sylvia felt as if she had lost touch with something.

After stabbing Sylvia with a dagger, Chen Luo quickly took out a piece of parchment and, before Sylvia could react, pressed her handprint onto the contract.

The parchment contract turned into flames and burned away.

"Time Reversal!" Chen Luo tapped Sylvia's forehead, and the contract that had been severed by the Rune of All Laws returned to the normal state she had been in a minute ago.

"Very good, the contract is settled."

"Huh? What contract?" Sylvia hadn't seen what kind of contract Chen Luo had taken out from the beginning.

What puzzled Sylvia even more was that Yvette, sitting next to her, remained completely unmoved.

Chapter 1317 Sylvia: Marriage is sacred! So... let's arrange a marriage with someone else.

"What did you say? You're the River God?!" Sylvia looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.

"Is this really that surprising? Well, it is a bit, but could you please sit down first?" Chen Luo tried to calm Sylvia down, but Sylvia couldn't calm down at all.

"How can you expect me to calm down? How can you be a river god?"

"Why can't I be the river god?"

"But my sister is engaged to the River God. Doesn't that mean..."

"That was decided between her and the river god. What does it have to do with me, Chen Luo?"

"But aren't you the river god?"

"correct."

"Doesn't that mean Yvette and you are engaged? How did I become your... What's your wife's sister called again? Never mind, it's not important!" Sylvia was a little confused.

"I already said that Yvette's marriage is with the River God, and it has nothing to do with me, Chen Luo. Even if I am the River God, doesn't no one know that I am the River God?"

"You're planning to abandon your wife and children? Don't you know that marriage is sacred?"

"What? Do you mean I have to marry Yvette?"

"No, well... Anyway, after you and Xiao Yi got engaged, have you thought about how Xiao Yi will get married in the future?" Sylvia's mind was completely muddled.

The current situation caught Sylvia somewhat off guard.

“It’s alright, I won’t get married,” Yvette said calmly from the side.

If Yvette had known that Chen Luo planned to tell her sister about this today, she wouldn't have needed to spend 1000 gold coins to have Su Yuan hold her sister back.

In this way, I can fulfill my excessive wish.

In short, it's all Chen Luo's fault.

Moreover, Yvette hasn't even finished her life counseling yet!

"This... Xiao Yi, don't be so certain about things in the future. What if you really fall in love with someone later?"

“Sister, you don’t need to worry about this. I think it’s a good thing to make a marriage agreement with the River God. At least it’s a great benefit for the church. You see, with this excuse, it’s reasonable for Chen Luo not to take a cut from the church, isn’t it? This is beneficial to the development of the church.”

"You two! You're infuriating!" Hearing that Yvette and Chen Luo didn't care about the engagement at all, Sylvia turned her face away in anger, refusing to pay any more attention to the two of them.

"Yvette, is your sister really that conservative?"

"Perhaps to some extent. Maybe it's because of the Holy Guardian Angel that she's a bit rigid and stubborn."

"Oh, then you really need to persuade her, otherwise there will be many more things she won't be able to accept in the future."

"Well, I see."

"What are you two hiding from me?" Sylvia had already decided to ignore Chen Luo and Yvette, but upon hearing the "more unacceptable thing," she couldn't resist her curiosity.

“Sister, those things aren’t for someone your age to understand. I’ll explain them to you when you discover them later,” Yvette said.

"..." The more Yvette said this, the more curious Sylvia became.

"By the way, Lolo, what kind of contract did you just have me sign?"

"You still remember this? I thought you had already forgotten about it."

"How could I not care? Contracts sound terrifying, okay? Besides, I didn't even want to sign a contract. How could you hold my hand and make me sign it?"

"You don't understand. Wishes require voluntariness, but contracts only need to leave a mark."

While a commission cannot be induced through the power of the Law of Knowledge, signing a contract is not as problematic.

As long as you write down the name or press your fingerprint, it doesn't matter whether the other person is willing or not.

"Tell me quickly, what kind of contract is that?"

"It's just a regular confidentiality agreement, here you go." Chen Luo said as he summoned the agreement again and handed it to Sylvia.

Sylvia took the contract and began to examine it carefully.

Perhaps because contracts are a symbol of evil, Sylvia, as a Holy Guardian Angel, is very resistant to contracts.

There are always evil spirits who tamper with the contracts, trying to corrupt the saints of the church!

However, there was nothing special about the contents of this contract; it was simply to keep Chen Luo's identity a secret.

Although both Sylvia and Bai Zhi signed contracts, their situations were different.

Although Sylvia's contract was a higher-level church contract, Sylvia did not have the task of finding the river god.

Even Sylvia keeping Chen Luo's identity a secret was beneficial to the church.

Therefore, Chen Luo only needed to pry open a small hole in Sylvia's contract, insert the contract from the more advanced Book of Contracts, and then fill the hole back in.

In this way, even if Sylvia receives a mission related to the River God in the future, it will be invalidated due to the higher priority of the Book of Contracts.

But Bai Zhi is different. Bai Zhi's mission at the time was to find the River God, which was completely opposite to the contract to keep Chen Luo's identity as the River God a secret, thus creating a contractual conflict.

The contract in the Book of Contracts definitely has a higher priority, but Bai Zhi had already accepted the mission, so she had no choice but to completely break the contract and then rebuild it.

As we all know, when eating yogurt, if you only want to eat a little bit, you can tear off a small corner of the top of the packaging paper, but if you want to eat more, you need to tear it all off.

If you tear it all off, it will be very difficult to put it back on, but if you only tear off a little bit, you can still put it back on.

Although this was only a superficial restoration, Chen Luo only needed the surface appearance.

It sounds like a logic riddle, but contracts are all about logic.

Before you accept a mission, you can be prohibited from accepting similar missions, but once you accept a mission, you can't do it.

Another reason why such a sophisticated contract-severing service wasn't used on Bai Zhi is that Chen Luo only acquired his three starter abilities when he was about to go to the Abyss Passage.

If it were Chen Luo, who didn't have the abilities of the three starter families, he wouldn't be able to rely on the PS Eye ability to determine the exact location where he could use the Myriad Symbols of Response to Break the Contract to precisely pry open a breach in the contract on the contractor.

After Chen Luo obtained the abilities of the three starter families, he and Bai Zhi were going to enter the Abyss Passage in a few hours. So Chen Luo was too lazy to bother with anything else. He figured he might as well wait a few hours, bring Bai Zhi to the Abyss Passage, and then confront them all at once.

However, Sylvia did not have this condition, because Sylvia had no reason to go to the abyss passage with Chen Luo.

Chen Luo dared not go to the abyss passage anymore, because he was afraid that Xiao Twelve would make things difficult for him.

The difference in strength between Sylvia and Bai Zhi is also a very important reason.

Bai Zhi is at least an S-level talent, so Chen Luo will definitely find it difficult to control her, but Sylvia's direct strength is really weak.

At least for Chen Luo, he was a complete novice.

"Now that you've finished reading it and signed this contract, Luo Luo, can you tell me if there's any other hidden information about you besides your identity as the River God?" Sylvia asked Chen Luo after carefully comparing the contract.

No matter how Sylvia looked at it, from any angle, from any direction, or even by the light, she couldn't find any deceptive clauses or hidden details in the contract.

Angels and demons are inherently opposing forces, so the church has its own methods for discerning whether a contract contains any pitfalls.

After seeing the information displayed above Sylvia's head, Chen Luo paused for a moment, then added a task to his schedule—to ask the angels in Heaven for knowledge on how to prevent contract forgery when he entered Heaven.

In this way, Chen Luo could use this knowledge to forge contracts!

This is called reverse thinking!

Learning has no end!

Why don't you just ask the Book of Akasha for some information?

"It makes sense!"

"As expected, the user-friendly plugin is actually quite useful!"

【…】

"If you ask me if I have any other identities, the answer is definitely yes, but for certain reasons, it's not convenient to tell you."

"What's the reason you can't disclose? Does my sister know?"

“Yvette certainly knows.”

"Then why can't I know?"

"It's actually your sister..."

She's actually your own sister, but she told me not to tell you.

"Ahem." Yvette coughed lightly twice.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"In fact, only S-class talents are qualified to apply to know this secret."

Out of consideration for the commission, Chen Luo decided to take the blame for Yvette.

"What? Don't A-level talents have human rights? What's wrong with A-level talents? Did A-level talents eat your rice?" Hearing this absurd reason, Sylvia started to get angry.

"That's not it. The main reason is that this secret is too big for an A-level talent to keep. There are always some strange talents who can see through other people's minds. So only an S-level talent can keep the secret."

"...Everyone else knows?"

"You want to ask about Bai Zhi, right? That's right, she knows too, and she used the same method to keep it a secret as you did; she also signed a confidentiality agreement. So don't blame her for not telling you; blame me instead," Chen Luo said.

"What's the use of blaming you? We've only known each other for a few days... By the way, didn't you say you could transfer your S-rank talent to me? What exactly happened? Tell me, I want to become an S-rank talent user!"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"That's where things get interesting. You think my 'Breaking Out of the Cocoon' talent is an S-rank talent? No, it was only a B-rank talent at first, and it only became an S-rank talent after being enhanced by the River God's power." Chen Luo was delighted when he saw the commission arrive.

"As everyone knows, the river god can conjure up three things..."

……

"So, you can upgrade a B-level talent to an S-level talent?" Sylvia wondered if she had misheard.

This is neither scientific! Nor magical! Nor angelic!

When did S-class talents become mass-produced?

Is it really only SS-level ability that can achieve this level?
