Qin Bin could see that the little girl was getting nervous again, so he smiled and said, "Relax, I personally don't want your living environment and personal situation to change for the worse."
"Is that so..." Gokou Ruri didn't really feel relaxed because of this sentence, but she knew that her small body couldn't resist, so she forced herself to calm down and said, "...Mr. Magician, can you tell me why you do this?"
"Okay, but the truth is a little complicated... How about this, you understand that I changed your future, which is of great benefit to me. And in the process of change, you can also gain a lot of things, such as wealth and power, so this is a win-win cooperation, how about it?"
Change the future...wealth...power...
Gogen Ruri's heart was moved, but she couldn't help but speak.
"Then, what's the price?"
In Gogen Ruri's mind, if things were really as good as Qin Bin said, she would not be able to believe that this was something that came at no cost.
Qin Bin blinked. Although in his imagination, Gogen Ruri was definitely a beneficiary who did not need to pay any extra cost except cooperating with him, but saying so directly would probably make this insecure girl even more suspicious.
So after a little consideration, he decided to try another approach.
"Ms. Wu Geng, I am currently in need of a servant. While I am completing your transformation, you will serve me as a servant for five years. When the time is up, I will give you your freedom. How do you think?"
That's it?
Gogen Ruri's face was full of disbelief.
Working as an attendant for a magician who looked very powerful, and for only five years, was definitely a very lucrative thing for her.
But then, she thought about how to tell her parents about this, plus she had to take care of her two younger sisters, so she hesitated for a moment.
Seeing her like this, Qin Bin said, "By the way, I will be staying nearby for a while, so you don't need to leave your hometown."
"...Um, Mr. Magic can read minds?"
"Yes, but I don't have the habit of using it. And you are easy to understand. Your emotions are all on your face. I can tell what you are thinking with a little analysis."
"Well, so that's the case..." Gogen Ruri couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.
"Now, Ms. Gogen, can you give me an answer? Or give you some time to think about it?"
"...Don't think about it, Mr. Magician, I am willing to cooperate."
It’s not that Gogen Ruri couldn’t resist the temptation of wealth and power, but as she gradually calmed down, her careful mind returned.
She knew very well that faced with such an existence beyond common sense, ordinary people like her had no right to make any choice.
So instead of worrying and hesitating, which will make the other person feel bad, it is better to be decisive, make a good impression, and strive for good treatment.
As for what to do next, we can only take it one step at a time...
Chapter 536: Changes and Thoughts
"Chance" means encounter and fortune, just like a crisis, danger and opportunity coexist.
For a long time, Gogen Ruri has more or less had some subconscious resentment towards her fate.
I always feel that I am unlucky and everything is a mess.
But now she feels that she must be God's favorite.
She was so lucky that she would occasionally have the illusion that all this was a dream.
However, the fact is the fact. She is extremely lucky and can even say that she is filled with happiness.
All of this originated from the sudden appearance of the powerful magician, who suddenly offered conditions that seemed to benefit only her, but the price was just to serve as a servant for five years.
This is simply the kind of happiness that comes to you on its own initiative to ask for support, and the one who brings his own living expenses.
Even after getting along for a long time, Gokuru Ruri began to suspect that the price of five years of servanthood was just something that was made up on the spur of the moment by a magician who was usually mysterious and in fact no different from an ordinary guy.
Have you ever seen a servant who works less than two hours a day, yet can go to school on weekdays and have a day off on weekends?
Is this a servant?
Even hourly workers aren’t treated so well, right?
After three months of getting along, Gogen Ruri no longer understands him at all.
She even had a dirty thought: maybe he was greedy for her body, so he did so many fancy things to lure her into the game?
The result is that, where is there any sign that the elder who takes care of his daughter, with both strictness and doting, is he even greedy for her?
On the contrary, gradually, she became a little greedy for the other person.
Although it was shameless, she had to admit that the bastard magician was really poisonous, the kind of poison that would make any girl addicted if she got close to him.
Of course, all these things also made Gokou Ruri feel more and more uneasy.
It's not that she is a slut and wants to be bullied, but that she is too serious. In addition, she has a self-esteem that she has developed a long time ago and does not want to owe anyone anything. The more benefits she accepts, the more she realizes that she cannot repay the favor, and the more she feels unable to let it go.
What kind of love can’t be repaid?
For example, she fulfilled her dream of making money through writing.
She has written countless second-year novels, the kind that would make ordinary people feel awkward and uncomfortable after reading them.
No one knew about that thing, and she planned to seal it up completely and never let anyone know about it for the rest of her life.
However, this bastard magician knew it and forced her to take it out, making her want to die at one point.
But she soon understood the good intentions of a certain bastard magician. Those rubbish works that even she herself disliked were transformed into a series of gripping, tear-jerking, and memorable short stories and novellas after being restructured, sorted, and edited by a certain magician.
It then became an instant hit on the Internet, almost making her famous overnight. So much so that a month later, driven by the publisher's first-mover advantage in grabbing the physical book market, the book was quickly published as a physical book of the short story collection, and with the help of adequate online advertising, it sold out completely.
Even in the third month, an authoritative assessment from the physical book industry came out, publicly predicting that her short story collection would be the annual physical book sales champion in Japan. This once again ignited the sales of her book, and completely solidified her labels such as best newcomer of the year, sales champion, and industry savior.
At this point, her dream of "making money through writing" not only came true, but also exceeded it by an unknown amount.
It easily solved her family's financial problems and allowed her to enter the threshold of a high-income group, the kind that could live on just one book for the rest of her life. From then on, she completely bid farewell to the word "tight".
More importantly, it was she herself who actually revised the novel. A certain magician would transform himself into a devil supervisor and hell teacher, correcting all her misunderstandings about writing in the most severe way and in the shortest time, allowing her to not only fulfill her dream, but also gain valuable knowledge and truly grow into a qualified author.
According to a certain magician, her professional skills as an author have been maxed out, and the only thing left is the "intention" related to her experience.
That is something that cannot be taught and can only be acquired through the test of time and self-realization.
But even if she ultimately fails to become a great writer due to her lack of understanding, that doesn't matter.
According to a certain magician, as long as she is willing to do it, it will be no problem for her to become a free and easy best-selling author.
what is this?
This is the grace of teaching and educating!
In ancient China, this would be a huge favor that one would have to spend their entire life to repay!
Just this one thing is a favor that she will never be able to repay in her entire life.
Moreover, she also received an 'orthodox' magician's training.
This 'orthodoxy' was added by her without her permission.
Occasionally, she would hear a magician complain about how inexplicable and unscientific the magic settings in novels and animations were. The convincingness of his words gave her the illusion that the world was on the wrong track and only that magician was on the right track. She subconsciously gave the preface of "orthodoxy" to this magic system that emphasized scientific and objective facts.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that she suffered from the second-year syndrome again.
For example, the physical textbook "Human Energy Application·Basics·National Standard 1" given to her by a magician was renamed by her without authorization as "Notes of the Holy Demon Sage". Another example is "Human Energy Application·Skills·National Standard 1", which was changed to "Book of Sequence Demons" and so on.
And she only dared to do this secretly. Otherwise, if a magician knew about it and said something like "Liuli is so cute", she might really explode on the spot.
In short, after a hellish special training by some bastard magician, her frail little body that would have been out of breath after walking up a high flight of stairs was transformed into a little superhero who could easily lift a car with one hand.
As for making a fireball or throwing an ice egg, that's even easier.
What made her most fortunate was that even though her strength became incredibly great, she did not turn into a Barbie doll, but remained as fair and petite as ever.
As for girls, not everyone likes guys with a lot of fat on their bodies.
And this is the real successor of the mantle.
Recently, because she learned that a certain magician was Chinese, she had been cramming her knowledge of Chinese culture, so she had some understanding of the term "successor".
Because of this understanding, she once thought that maybe a certain magician discovered her talent and found an excuse to accept her as his disciple?
If that was the case, then the magician's attitude towards her like an 'old father' would seem to make sense.
Chapter 537: May your wish come true?
Of course, that's not the point.
For her, what bothered her most was that this favor could never be repaid.
And so far, the only way her little brain could think of was to sell herself to repay the favor.
But this also has to be sold.
If a magician doesn't like her...
Eh...
If it works...
"Master and apprentice...it seems..."
Three months later, one afternoon, Gogen Ruri was carrying her schoolbag and walking slowly towards home, thinking so.
Then countless images that required the illumination of holy light to be viewed directly flashed through her little head, and her little face gradually turned red.
"...My idea...is considered as betraying my teacher and ancestors, right?"
"Besides, if this happens, wouldn't I become...a greedy bad woman who wants more after getting what she wants?"
"No, no, I must be calm and composed, not disturbed, as quiet as still water... as agile as a rabbit... No, no, I am not reciting idioms for the hell of it..."
"...What if Mr. Magician is single?"
"Isn't there a joke on the Chinese Internet that says that a single person at the age of 30 is a great magician or something..."
"If so... then I will... be more positive..."
"Woo..."
"Don't be impatient... You need to be strategic... Start by pretending to talk about it casually and find out if Mr. Magician has a girlfriend or something..."
"Yeah, it's decided..."
Thinking so, Gogen Ruri quickened her pace and walked towards home.
Not long after, Gogen Ruri returned to the slightly old Japanese-style courtyard.
At present, Gogen Ruri and his family still live here, but now this place has changed from a rental house to Gogen's private property.
It’s not that I have any attachment or anything. I’m already shopping for a new home that is more spacious, has a better environment and more convenient transportation, and I’ll be able to move in soon.
But Wu Geng Liuli herself would not move, and the reason was very simple. Qin Bin rented a house next to this courtyard.
Wu Geng Liuli didn't want to live too far away, but she wasn't bold enough to say that she wanted to live with Qin Bin, so she compromised and bought this courtyard.
Money is sometimes a good thing. At least it can solve many problems that are inconvenient to solve.
After returning home, putting down her schoolbag and changing into casual clothes, Gogen Ruri told her mother, who now had more time to spend at home due to the improvement in the family's financial situation, that she would not be coming back to sleep tonight and planned to go to Qin Bin's place.
Her family knew how she made money and became a magician. They also understood that she was practicing magic, so they would not stop her from spending the night at the young man's house.
But as soon as she walked out the door, her mother called her.
Then her mother whispered something to her at the entrance, and she blushed and quickly left the house as if she was running away.
"Mom, what a...very experienced person. She understands me very well..."
"There are still safety measures to be taken, and they need to be done well..."
"Too much..."
"But it's strange, why would you suddenly say this..."
"Is it obvious these days?"
"It seems that there is none..."
With a red face and a racing mind, Wu Geng Liuli soon arrived at the courtyard rented by Qin Bin.
