Their commission was suspicious.

Simply put, Yukari Yakumo is afraid that if she enters the Root, she will be destroyed by it.

It seemed to contain the knowledge of the entire world, and even though Yukari Yakumo and Root had excellent compatibility, Yukari Yakumo dared not gamble on it.

What if we fail? What will happen to Gensokyo?

Barefoot people aren't afraid of those wearing shoes.

The more things Yukari Yakumo owns, the more reluctant she is to part with them.

Besides, isn't there a shortcut right in front of us?

If you have any questions, ask Chen Luo.

Doesn't he have the Golden Fantasy Land?

Why risk your life to find the root cause when there's a perfectly safe shortcut right in front of you?

“Now I find it quite strange that you can safely travel between different worlds and use your abilities,” Yukari Yakumo said sincerely.

"I can travel to different worlds and exert my power in those worlds because I'm very weak. I'm so weak that I'm just an ordinary human being, with only slightly higher physical strength, slightly stronger mental strength, and a tiny bit of negligible magic power," Chen Luo said.

"At least if you set aside your previous notions about me and observe me now, you cannot conclude that I am anything other than human."

Humans are indeed physically weaker than other monsters, but they are highly adaptable.

This is the most important thing for Chen Luo.

To travel to a world and complete a mission, you first need to make sure you don't die from acclimatization problems in that world.

"Fine, I can't argue with you. Although theoretically you do look like an ordinary human, I've never seen an ordinary human knock me out with a single Taixu Sword God." Yakumo Yukari said with considerable disbelief.

"Come on, let's sign the contract." Chen Luo casually took out a blank contract sheet and tossed it to Yakumo Yukari.

"Now you can write it down. Just write down the requirements we just discussed. I believe you can be fair and impartial."

Anyway, there are 108 ways to prevent fraud, no one can fool Chen Luo. If Yakumo Yukari isn't fair and just, I'll skin you alive!

"Tsk, you actually trust me that much?" Yukari Yakumo was quite surprised by Chen Luo's nonchalant attitude.

Yukari Yakumo could indeed sense that Chen Luo was quite cautious towards her, and Yukari couldn't say anything, since she was the one who had to take the blame for being the main culprit in the disappearance.

However, Yukari Yakumo really didn't intend to trick Chen Luo.

After all, Yakumo Yukari can distinguish between a full meal and a full stomach.

What if I messed up Chen Luo's life and can't go to other worlds anymore?

Aside from his particular obsession with the mission, Chen Luo is quite suitable to be a friend in every way.

While adhering to this philosophy, Yakumo Yukari began to write the contract.

This can be considered one of the most serious contracts ever written by Yukari Yakumo.

First and foremost, you can't let yourself suffer too much loss.

Secondly, the spirit of fairness and justice in contracts must not be violated.

Next, it is necessary to ensure that the contents of the contract match the content of the conversation between the two.

Finally, it must be ensured that there is no fault in this contract in any aspect.

……

"Alright, take a look. I promise I didn't pull any tricks this time." After a full 20 minutes, Yakumo Yukari was practically tearing her hair out before finally placing the finished contract in front of Chen Luo.

"Hmm." After glancing at the contract, Chen Luo directly imprinted his handprint on it.

Yukari Yakumo was quite conscientious this time; at least the "108 Anti-Fraud Methods" are a positive response.

"Sigh, I feel like I've become your employee." Yukari Yakumo complained as she pressed her handprint on the paper.

With the destruction of this contract, it also signifies that Yakumo Yukari and Chen Luo have officially signed a contract concerning Gensokyo.

"I didn't ask you to be my employee, and I can't afford to hire you anyway," Chen Luo said while looking at his book.

"We've already signed this contract, and you're telling me you don't treat me like a worker? So you're treating me like a laborer?" Yukari Yakumo said irritably.

This contract was written by Yukari Yakumo herself. She was the only one who thought about the contents of the contract throughout the entire process, so she knew what impact the contract would have on her.

At least whenever Yakumo Yukari comes to the bar or goes to the other world, Chen Luo will become her absolute boss.

When doing anything, Yukari Yakumo always prioritizes whether it will harm Chen Luo's interests.

To be honest, this contract is quite harsh, especially since it was written by the oppressed themselves.

The binding force is still quite strong.

Even if Chen Luo allowed Yakumo Yukari to continue pretending to be a wandering magician's maid in other worlds, Yakumo Yukari would have no way to resist.

Maid outfit? If Chen Luo makes the request, Yakumo Yukari will indeed have to wear it.

■■Maid outfit? Hmm...It's time to seriously reflect on why this item was in that character pack?

Of course, Yukari Yakumo doesn't have any masochistic tendencies, so getting rid of these traits isn't too difficult for her...

"Isn't it simple for you to break free from the contract? Just avoid bars and other worlds, right? In Gensokyo, my influence on you is quite small, limited to offering advice that you don't need to take seriously," Chen Luo said.

"That's why I'm willing to sign this contract." Yukari Yakumo shrugged helplessly.

Just like an employee who works 996 all day can't stand a boss who knows nothing but brags and can choose to resign, if Yukari Yakumo can't stand Chen Luo's orders in the other world, she can choose to obediently return to Gensokyo.

This is also one of the clauses in the contract.

Because it wasn't so harsh as to be despairing, this contract was acceptable to Yukari Yakumo.

“But just like a 996 employee who needs to earn money to support their family, I can’t suppress my curiosity about another world. In the end, I will still be oppressed by you,” Yakumo Yukari continued.

"Then don't blame me. Now, here's the first order: Do you know how to massage?" Chen Luo stretched and twisted his neck before asking.

“…I can learn,” Yukari Yakumo said after a moment’s hesitation.

The contract stipulated that Chen Luo required Yakumo Yukari not to say no.

Yukari Yakumo is currently in the bar, so she is now obligated to fulfill the terms of the contract.

The contract does not take effect from the moment Chen Luo summons the Golden Gensokyo, but rather from the moment it is signed.

However, the binding force will be reduced when Chen Luo does not summon the Golden Gensokyo.

It's roughly equivalent to the situation where "wearing a maid outfit is negotiable, but wearing a certain type of maid outfit is not negotiable."

"...You might as well just say you don't know. What kind of high emotional intelligence is this?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.

Chapter 597 Yukari Yakumo: If the Milky Way were a river, I'd eat this keyboard right now!

"River, river, river, a river that can hold the entire Gensokyo..." Although a contract had been signed, confirming that Chen Luo wouldn't do anything excessive to her, and the exchange for the Golden Gensokyo was settled, this request alone made Yukari Yakumo feel somewhat conflicted.

"Golden Gensokyo can be transformed for you, but you'll have to find the river that can hold the entire Gensokyo yourself."

These are Chen Luo's original words.

This made Yukari Yakumo feel quite depressed.

Is there really a river that can hold the entire Gensokyo?

"My poor little maid, what trouble have you run into? Tell me." Seeing that Yukari Yakumo was muttering something and disturbing his reading, Chen Luo finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's the river you wanted. Didn't you say you'd take care of Gensokyo but I'd be responsible for the river? Where am I supposed to find a river big enough to hold the whole of Gensokyo?"

Although Chen Luo said it would take him some time to unlock the limits of his abilities, it was still enough to make Yakumo Yukari frown.

"Since this seemingly small river in front of you can summon golden items, could you expand it to the size of the entire Gensokyo?" After a moment's thought, Yukari Yakumo turned her attention to Chen Luo.

The illusory river in front of Chen Luo did give Yakumo Yukari some inspiration, but not enough.

"I don't know."

"Don't understand?"

"Yeah, I don't know. Who knows what kind of river this is? Although it can indeed summon this thing, I haven't tested the limit of how much it can expand. But don't just focus on this river, go find another one."

“But there are no other rivers left. What river could be so big? That’s the entire Gensokyo! You could say it’s the sea, but a river is really hard to find.” Yukari Yakumo sighed.

"So why aren't you the sea god?"

"You may lack knowledge, but that doesn't mean you have none. Besides, can the sea god compare to the river god?"

"Really? I don't believe it. If you can give me an example of a river that can hold the entire Gensokyo, I'll give you a massage right now," Yukari Yakumo said.

"Wait, didn't you say you couldn't do it?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

“When did I say I couldn’t? I only said I could learn, not that I couldn’t.” Yukari Yakumo’s gaze remained firm.

But Chen Luo's gaze towards Chen Bayunzi turned hostile.

After verifying whether Yakumo Yukari's words regarding the contract were true, Chen Luo put away the "108 Ways to Prevent Fraud".

It seems that fraud prevention is really important now.

This also shows that Chen Luo's control over Yakumo Yukari was not very strong before the contract was fully completed.

At least Yukari Yakumo can play word games.

Beware of scams perpetrated by Yukari Yakumo!

“The Milky Way is also a river. Okay, I’ve told you the answer. Now hurry up and give me a massage.” Chen Luo glared at Yakumo Yukari with annoyance.

"This works?"

"Why not? It's not like I haven't tried. I really conjured something from the Milky Way. The River God is a conceptual god; any river will do." Chen Luo said with considerable pride.

"..." Yakumo Yukari fell into deep thought.

"But I can't just move Gensokyo to the Milky Way. Gensokyo is a region, not a prop. It can't be moved around." Although the answer has been given to Yukari Yakumo, how to get Gensokyo to the Milky Way is a much bigger problem.

"I don't care, I've already told you, so hurry up and give me a massage," Chen Luo said.

"No. Sorry, I've never learned massage." Yukari Yakumo shook her head sheepishly.

"Huh???" Chen Luo stared at Yakumo Yukari with wide eyes.

"Don't stare at me like that. Even if you stare at me, I still won't know how. I just said I can learn."

"But didn't you say you didn't say you couldn't?"

"But I never said I could do it!" Yukari Yakumo said innocently.

"..." Chen Luo almost choked.

Fortunately, Shen He saw Chen Luo's somewhat distorted expression and quickly patted Chen Luo on the back to comfort him.

"You're ruthless. Go learn it now, and then give me a massage in 10 minutes, you hear me?!" Chen Luo roared at Yakumo Yukari.

"Okay, okay, why are you so angry?" Yakumo Yukari said sullenly.

Then Yakumo Yukari got up and walked towards... Fu Hua?

Wait, who are you going to learn massage from?

Generally speaking, Fu Hua should indeed know about massage, but... Chen Luo wanted a less formal massage, not this kind of overly formal one.

"Yukari Yakumo, you just wait. Once I actually create your Golden Gensokyo, I'll show you what cruelty is!"

If Chen Luo remembered correctly, he didn't seem to have told anyone that the contracts he signed through the Book of Contracts could cost him Primal Stones, and that he could unilaterally breach the contract himself.

That's right, it's the kind of situation where Chen Luo breached the contract, but others couldn't.

"jingle!"

"Chen Luo, I'm here." A slightly childish voice rang out, and Chen Luo looked up to see a dignified young lady.

"Oh, it's Remi." Chen Luo greeted her after looking up.

"Hey Chen Luo, isn't there a big difference between your attitude towards me at the beginning and your attitude towards me now?" Remilia crossed her arms, trying to look angry at Chen Luo.

When I first met Chen Luo, he was very polite to me and completely subservient to my authority.

But now he just calls her Remi directly, without giving her any face at all. How can that possibly make him seem authoritative?

"Well, I only call you that because I consider you a friend. Besides, if someone came to your house and smashed more than 10 of your keyboards because they were bad at games, you wouldn't have much respect for them in terms of authority, would you?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Remilia.

“Uh…” Remilia’s eyes darted around.

Although Remilia didn't count exactly how many keyboards she smashed, it must have been quite a few.

But can I blame myself? Wasn't it because Chen Luo initially said he would grant me a wish after I finished the game, and that's why I went to finish it?
