Their commission was suspicious.

If you can help Xiaoyuan achieve happiness, you will receive a five-star commission and a blank principle.

As a girl from a happy and fulfilling family, Madoka doesn't have many desires. As long as she can help her friends, these magical girls, get through Witch's Night without suffering any inhumane treatment, the mission will be 90% complete.

The magical girls obediently went to the bar to get their drinks and dinner, and then happily ate their dinner while chatting and laughing about their experiences at school.

In contrast, Kyoko displayed a rather wary attitude.

Even while enjoying a delicious meal, she remained constantly on guard against Chen Luo doing anything excessive.

However, even after Sakura Kyoko enjoyed an incredibly delicious dinner, none of the futures she had envisioned materialized.

"So what exactly are you after? Why are you opening this bar for free? Why are you selling all kinds of drinks and food for free? If you were to run a proper bar with this kind of skill, you would definitely make a fortune." Sakura Kyoko, who had relaxed her guard a bit, sat down opposite Chen Luo and asked with great suspicion.

"Just think of it as doing a good deed every day. Although it won't bring any real benefits, it will give you peace of mind," Chen Luo said.

"..."

Is that unbelievable?

"Ah."

“How about this, Sakura Kyoko? Now that I’ve helped you transform your Soul Gem into one that won’t become tainted even with constant use of magic, which means you can use magic freely without any side effects, how about we make a deal? Consider it my reward for helping you.”

"What agreement? No, wait, aren't you asking for payment? This isn't selfless help at all!" Sakura Kyoko looked warily at Chen Luo, who had finally revealed his true intentions.

"Listen to my promise first, okay? That is, if you can, every time you receive help from someone, go and help the next person who needs help, and pass on kindness in this world, how about it?" Chen Luo said, resting his chin on his hand.

What benefit would I get from doing this?

"Hmm...you can come to the bar every day for free dinner, no charge, how about it?"

“…Okay.” Sakura Kyoko readily agreed.

But she wasn't trying to spread kindness in the world; she was simply looking for a free dinner.

Besides, can a verbal agreement really be considered legally binding?

The moment Sakura Kyoko nodded, a contract suddenly appeared in the air between Chen Luo and Sakura Kyoko, and then turned to ashes to Sakura Kyoko's astonishment.

"Haha, you fell for it, didn't you? A verbal agreement is a contract too," Chen Luo said smugly.

"You actually lied to a child?" Sakura Kyoko looked at Chen Luo in disbelief.

Chapter 1699 The Magical Girl Beaten Up by Reality

Sakura Kyoko never expected that despite all her precautions—being wary of Chen Luo when she arrived at the bar, and being wary of him during the meal—she would fall into his trap while chatting with him after dinner, all because she wanted to get something for free.

Looking at the contract that turned to ashes in front of her, Sakura Kyoko didn't recognize what it was, but she knew that she seemed to be in trouble.

That thing looks really powerful.

Sakura Kyoko knew that Chen Luo was very powerful, after all, he was able to break the ironclad rule he had always followed after becoming a magical girl and allow magical girls to use magic without worrying about the Soul Gem being tainted.

Therefore, this suddenly disappeared contract is definitely not a benevolent entity!

Sakura Kyoko subconsciously looked at Tomoe Mami beside her, only to find that Tomoe Mami's expression was also one of shock and disbelief.

Seeing that it wasn't Mami Tomoe and Chen Luo working together to trick her, the slight resentment hidden in Sakura Kyoko's heart gradually disappeared, and then she glared fiercely at Chen Luo.

"What exactly did you do? And what about that piece of paper that suddenly turned to ashes? Explain yourself! Otherwise, I'll beat you up!" Sakura Kyoko threatened Chen Luo.

But Sakura Kyoko understood even more clearly that she was just in a state of impotent rage. After all, if she could really beat Chen Luo up, she would have started doing so as soon as she realized she had been tricked.

However, shortly after arriving at the bar, Sakura Kyoko was told that it was forbidden to hurt each other in the bar, and she proved this to herself.

"What suddenly turned to ashes and disappeared just now was called a contract. Simply put, it's because of your verbal promise that we made an agreement. Whenever you receive help from someone, you must help the next person who needs help."

"Huh? Are you sick?" Sakura Kyoko looked at Chen Luo in surprise.

"Sigh, I can't help it. After all, Mami asked me to make sure you wouldn't do anything stupid. Plus, because I'm always willing to help others, I'm planning to help you get back to your original intentions. But you can't change your mindset overnight, especially after you've been through the harsh realities of society."

“Simply chatting won’t completely change you, after all, I’m not good with empty words. So I’ll have to resort to some direct methods.” Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and the contract that had turned to ashes reappeared in the air before floating down onto the table.

Turning into ashes does not mean the contract has disappeared, but rather it is a sign that the contract has begun to be fulfilled.

You can watch it anytime you want.

"I knew you were up to no good! All that 'helping others' nonsense is fake! Did they sign this contract with you too?"

"No. Mami and Madoka are good kids. This contract is only needed when disciplining the more naughty ones."

"Hmph! You win this time, but so what? At worst, I'll just go out and help someone who needs help later, right? From now on, as long as I do anything independently or get others to work for me through transactions, it won't count as accepting help! Your contract is useless!" Sakura Kyoko said angrily.

"But what if I limit myself to both receiving help and helping others?" Chen Luo asked.

"What do you mean?" After a moment of surprise, Sakura Kyoko immediately picked up the contract and began to read it.

"It means that after I help you, you can only help me again; helping others doesn't count."

"???" Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Sakura Kyoko, who hadn't even finished reading the contract, suddenly looked up at the despicable and shameless adult in front of her.

"I have never seen such a shameless person! You even fooled a child!" exclaimed Kyoko Sakura.

"But at worst, I can just stop accepting your help in the future, right? You still can't threaten me!"

"...So can you read the contents of the contract before you start threatening me? It's all clearly written in black and white in the contract. If you've received help, then you need to help me in return."

"so what?"

"That means that even if you receive help from someone else, you still need to help me in order to cancel the assistance."

"!!!" Sakura Kyoko's eyes widened.

Sakura Kyoko originally thought Chen Luo was just a bit of a rip-off, but now it seems he's a complete disaster.

Why should I help you when I've already received help from others? Can't I help others too?

The answer is that Sakura Kyoko can help others, but that doesn't offset the number of times she's been helped.

"Then I'll just stop accepting help from others in the future, right?" Sakura Kyoko said through gritted teeth.

Of course, Kyoko Sakura has to admit that it is difficult, but not impossible.

“Sure, of course, but don’t forget, the contract states that you’ll be coming to the bar every day for free meals and drinks. So even if you refuse all help, you’ll still be forced to accept help at least once a day,” Chen Luo said.

"???"

Does this work too?

No, is this also part of the contract?

Kyoko Sakura was completely paralyzed.

"Let me calculate. First, I helped you purify the Soul Gem of impurities; second, I helped you materialize your soul; and then I let you get a free dinner. That's three acts of help. Alright, now help me. Give me a back massage," Chen Luo said.

"..." Sakura Kyoko could feel a kind of coercive force being applied to her, making her help Chen Luo massage his back, but Sakura Kyoko was unwilling, so she stood there biting her lip.

"Alright, Mr. Manager, stop bullying Kyoko." Mami Tomoe put down her chopsticks and walked over to say.

"Sigh, you make it sound like I'm some kind of villain. But since you've brought it up, fine then." Chen Luo shrugged helplessly and then looked at Sakura Kyoko.

“A contract cannot be changed unless both parties agree to make modifications,” Chen Luo said.

"Please," Chen Luo invited.

"First, we need to remove the clause that I can only help you!" Kyoko said directly, encouraged by Mami Tomoe's nod.

“Okay. But there needs to be a limit to how much help you can get. What if you deliberately create a predicament and then actively try to rack up help counts? Let’s limit it to the magical girl group. That way, you can be considered equal,” Chen Luo said.

“…Fine then.” Kyoko reluctantly agreed to this condition.

After Chen Luo agreed, the words that stipulated this clause on the contract were magically erased, and the newly revised clauses appeared immediately afterward.

"And then remove the part about me coming to the bar every day." Kyoko continued her offensive.

"No."

The contract remained untouched.

"...Speaking of which, can I just tear up the contract?"

"Of course not." Chen Luo looked at Sakura Kyoko with an expression that said, "What are you dreaming about?"

“But that doesn’t mean I have to help others no matter who helps me, otherwise how am I supposed to live?” Sakura Kyoko said.

"That makes sense..."

It's a little difficult for someone to live in society without accepting help from anyone.

Things like helping to pick up things or giving up your seat on the bus are examples of the various kinds of help that are hard to avoid in life.

"Then let's change it to only my help."

"It's a deal!" Sakura Kyoko immediately agreed as soon as Chen Luo finished speaking.

In this way, it's just helping someone out once a day (because I get help for free dinner), which isn't a big problem.

With this contract being replaced by another, the contract that was originally extremely advantageous to Chen Luo has been completely altered and is now somewhat fairer.

At least that's how it appears.

"Despicable sir!" Having witnessed the contract turn to ashes and vanish once again, Sakura Kyoko chose to focus her attention on exchanging harsh words with Chen Luo.

“I’m not yet 18, so I’m just a kid like you all.” Chen Luo made a face at Sakura Kyoko.

"Also, you must not maliciously put the magical girls in trouble," Chen Luo reminded Sakura Kyoko.

"Mind your own business! Didn't you say that the contract can't be modified unless both parties agree? It's not written in the contract, so why can't I do it?" Sakura Kyoko had indeed thought that way, and Chen Luo's request undoubtedly aroused her rebellious spirit.

“Little guy, don’t forget, you’ll be coming to the bar every day from now on. If you don’t want to get tricked every time you come to the bar, then you’d better do as I say. After all, you can’t guarantee you won’t say the wrong thing every day, can you?” Chen Luo said with a smile.

"Hmph, I know! But you have to promise me you won't try to trick me like this again! Sign the contract!" After being scammed once, Sakura Kyoko's awareness of fraud prevention had reached an indescribable level.

In a way, it's really heartbreaking.

"Alright, alright, it's a deal." Under Sakura Kyoko's wary gaze, Chen Luo signed the contract with her.

Furthermore, regarding the signing of this contract, Sakura Kyoko requested that she write it herself.

Sakura Kyoko definitely didn't intend to trick Chen Luo in the contract signing process, after all, he was still a child. Sakura Kyoko just didn't want Chen Luo to have the opportunity to trick her.

But Sakura Kyoko is still too young. If Chen Luozhen intends to trick Sakura Kyoko, she will have no way to avoid it.

The good news is that Chen Luo really didn't intend to trick Sakura Kyoko.

Seeing Sakura Kyoko breathe a sigh of relief after signing the contract, Chen Luo smiled but said nothing.

"Hmph, I, Sakura Kyoko, would rather die here or jump off a 200-meter-high building than help you. I'd rather help them!" Sakura Kyoko said, pointing to the group of magical girls beside her.

“Yes, yes, but I think you’ll change your mind,” Chen Luo said.

"Impossible!" Sakura Kyoko shouted.

Sakura Kyoko now pays ten times more attention to Chen Luo than before, especially watching whether he might set a trap during their conversations.

“You say it’s impossible, but I think it’s very possible. However, this doesn’t require a contract. Oh, right, also, my decision to amend the contract earlier counts as helping out, which means you now owe me four times. Remember to pay me back.” Chen Luo reminded Sakura Kyoko.

"How long-winded! Anyway, I'm not helping you!" After remembering this key point four times, Sakura Kyoko decided to ignore Chen Luo completely.

"So, want to have another meal? Anyway, I'm not worried about having too much debt," Chen Luo asked.

"...One more, please." After struggling with her decision for a while, Sakura Kyoko finally gave in to the delicious food.

As a foodie, Sakura Kyoko has a large appetite, and the food served to her last time was only the standard portion.

So Kyoko Sakura chose to try again.

Seeing that Sakura Kyoko had already run off to find the magical girls and ask them if they needed any help, Chen Luo shook his head and then asked Judah's Oath to bring Sakura Kyoko another dinner.

Sakura Kyoko is still too young. Although she has experienced too many battles at a young age, she may not understand the despicable adults.

After all, if a child really understood everything, they wouldn't choose to make a contract with trash like Kyubey and become a magical girl.

After confirming that there would be no customers in the bar for the time being, Chen Luo walked through bar door number 2 and came to Yakumo Yukari and the others who were lying next to the World Tree and enjoying the service of the doll's hand.

Then, while sprinkling salt (various energy items, such as spirit stones, etc.) on them, I asked them how they felt.

"Hey, Chen Luo, your goal from the beginning was to get that red-haired girl to help those magical girls, right?" Yukari Yakumo said while drinking orange juice.

“Otherwise, what sense of accomplishment would you get from bullying kids?” Chen Luo said.

She's just a magical girl. If Chen Luo wanted, he could easily summon thousands of magical girls to smoke, drink, and get their hair permed for him with a wave of his hand.

Therefore, it would be quite unwise to try to cheat and deceive a magical girl who is not yet an adult under these circumstances.

There are no benefits, and it will only ruin your reputation in the bar.
