Chapter 227: [anti-law Contract] Established!
“I have a way!”
Nie Yin lowered her head and mustered all her lifelong courage to let out a soft, weak shout, attracting Yuan Zhu’s attention.
From the moment she entered the door until now, she had held the initiative in the conversation. This was the first time the other party responded in a non-passive manner.
Yo? She actually learned to answer quickly..
The Frog Killer Girl lowered her head, silently slipping her small hand into the pocket of her somewhat oversized top, then pulling out a slightly amusing ‘Cartoon Genuine Leather Frog Wallet’.
How to put it? This genuine leather wallet had obvious handmade splicing and stitching marks, but the workmanship was not crude at all; it was extremely delicate. Using several pieces of living frog skin, it was cut into a unique cartoon style with a girlish vibe.
The key was that this genuine leather came from living three-dimensional frog species, not fluffy fabric. The finished product combined three-dimensional realism with cartoon cuteness, without feeling grotesque or frightening.
Achieving this was extremely difficult.
Simply cutting fabric into a cartoon frog is easy. Using peeled
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into Yuan Zhu’s mind: if this girl joined Happy Home, she might win the Mao Mao King’s favor with her frog skin wallet sewing technique, and he might invite her to join Mao Mao Group as a luxury children’s wear designer.
But now, she belongs to me!
Just as Yuan Zhu’s attention was drawn away by the Genuine Leather Frog Wallet, Nie Yin opened the zipper big mouth of the Genuine Leather Frog, stretched her entire hand inside, then pulled out a handwritten contract the size of A4 paper from the frog mouth in her palm, two copies in total, and respectfully handed it to him with both hands.
She said in a low voice: “Please take a look!”
“Huh?”
Yuan Zhu was not interested in the contract provided by the other party at this moment, but instead paid even more attention to this frog, and asked: “Is this [wallet] of yours space equipment? Did you make it?”
Nie Yin shook her head in denial: “It’s not space equipment, but it has a weak ‘folding’ effect. I used double-layer stitching, where the surface frog skin is first cut into pieces, and different effect ‘engravings’ are drawn on the back. At the same time, the inner layer uses a special stomach membrane from another space system creature, the Qian Kun Beast. After processing with special engraving splicing techniques, the Qian Kun Beast’s properties are retained.”
Yuan Zhu: “How does it compare to the space bag?”
Nie Yin responded weakly: “I’ve never seen a space bag. This wallet can store items, but not exceeding 1 kilogram, and it cannot hold overly sharp or pointed items. It also needs regular feeding with food to maintain activity.”
Yuan Zhu reached out to touch this cartoon frog skin wallet, but it made the frog killer girl tremble, gripping the frog’s arm tightly as she wanted to pull back. But she ultimately held back, biting her lips tightly, lowering her head stiffly and not moving, as if tearfully letting the strange uncle touch her beloved little wallet.
Yuan Zhu didn’t notice the girl’s overly complex mental activity. He simply and curiously reached out with his finger, poking at the Frog Skin Wallet repeatedly, feeling the elasticity of the living creature’s skin. Soft, warm, bouncy, and fragrant—it was quite fun, with a tactile sensation like pinching a Q-bouncy little balloon.
“Is this thing alive?”
“Inanimate object. But the head can eat and store nutrients, providing nourishment for the internal stomach pouch to maintain the ‘folding’ effect.”
Yuan Zhu: “This thing has existed for a long time. Did you make it according to the design blueprint? Or did you design and develop it yourself?”
Nie Yin: “In the library, I came across a fragmentary document on ‘Qian Kun Beast stomach pouch preparation and preservation’, then combined it with my own insights on ‘frog skin preparation and engraving technique’ to make a homemade personal item.”
Because the process is overly complex and costly (Qian Kun Beast gastric membrane), plus the low success rate, not wanting to attract attention, and other reasons, Nie Yin also only made this one ‘cartoon wallet’, kept it close to her body, never showed it to anyone, and never thought of using it as a representative work representing her own talent.
“You have great ideas, and your abilities have exceeded my expectations. Bring the contract, let me take a look.”
If Nie Yin’s previous performance only made him waver. The main reason for signing with her was her appearance, weakness, and ease of control… making one unable to resist wanting to PUA, knead, and bully her.
So now, the technology contained in this [Wallet] made him eager to sign the contract right away!
Snake Snake: “Boss, do you think this [Cartoon Frog] might be part of the other party reverse PUA-ing you? The real hunter often appears in the form of the prey. You feel like you ‘want to bully her too much’?”
Yuan Zhu asked in return: “Don’t you want to?”
“I also really want to ravage and bully her! She’s just standing there, and that fragile little body of hers emits a strong ‘come bully me’ signal. Hiss… as expected, it’s the [Innate Bullied Pure Junior Schoolgirl Sacred Body].”
Yuan Zhu unfolded one copy in two, a total of 4 pages of contract.
As a result, before Nie Yin threw herself into the net, she had already anticipated Yuan Zhu’s anticipation. This Employment Contract listed all aspects, including but not limited to the Confidentiality Agreement, permanently keeping secrets for Yuan Zhu, and never disclosing all matters she was involved in during the employment period.
In addition, the other party also preset a non-compete agreement that prohibits engaging in the same industry after the employment relationship ends. During Yuan Zhu’s employment period, all ‘extraordinary academic achievements’ obtained by the other party can be permanently transferred to Yuan Zhu at a price (cost) agreed upon by both parties, with the other party completely relinquishing possession.
In short, two thin sheets of A4 paper were filled with the terms Yuan Zhu had thought of and those he hadn’t anticipated. Especially in the last paragraph, this Contract could introduce the Pale Great Law for enforcement.
In other words, this is still a [Law System Employment Contract].
Although neither side are Law System ability users, they can indeed borrow and introduce the power of Law. It’s just like those non-Knowledge School ability users or ordinary people, who can also purchase Skull Servers to perform simple basic operations.
After Yuan Zhu finished reading this contract, he couldn’t find any loopholes: “You also took Law System courses while studying at Rain Courtyard? This agreement is drafted very professionally.”
“[Law] is a basic required course, ‘Employment Agreement’ is a key content. The Academy has a large number of mature ‘standard contract templates’, and during exams, one must distinguish dozens of mainstream ‘contract traps’ and identify the vulnerabilities.”
Nie Yin said this, seemingly hinting to Yuan Zhu not to get any crooked ideas. She had received professional training and could discern traps, and was someone who could proactively draft Law System Contracts.
If hiring, just follow the proper channels honestly without any worries; she can absolutely guarantee professionalism. Even for doing illegal “forbidden project” together, she absolutely won’t betray.
Not only that, the Employment Contract also contains a large number of unfair clauses. All targeted at Nie Yin herself, allowing Yuan Zhu to take all the profit. It is a voluntary self-exploitation, fully demonstrating sincerity to the employer, and a highly passive letter of allegiance.
After reading it, Yuan Zhu couldn’t help but sigh that the current ‘cattle and horses graduates’ are really intense. If this contract were placed on Earth, he would definitely be hung from a streetlight.
But even so, Yuan Zhu still shook his head regretfully, putting down this formal yet unfair “Employment Contract”: “You’ve written it very well, but I don’t accept it!”
Nie Yin: “I can change it!”
“Even changing it won’t work! You know about Anti-Law, right? I want to sign an Anti-Law Contract with you! The content of this contract can be retained, but I still need to add a few more clauses, and ultimately have Anti-Law to constrain this agreement.”
[Law Contract] and [Anti-Law Contract] can be converted into each other, or even are the same thing. The difference is that the agreement formulated by the former is constrained and executed by the [Pale Great Law], like ‘heaven’s laws and rules’; the latter is a private server version, more akin to ‘family rules’.
Signing the Anti-Law Contract undoubtedly allows Yuan Zhu to take full advantage; he can even breach the contract at the lowest price and control the other party.
Nie Yin clearly studied relevant knowledge and instantly became vigilant and alert upon hearing “Anti-Law.” She resembled the “anti-fraud vanguard” who had been thoroughly brainwashed by Zhou Chu, full of distrust toward “Anti-Law.”
Yuan Zhu: “I tricked you into signing, pfft! I had you sign the [Anti-Law] not because of some conspiracy, but because a series of forbidden experiments in the future will all involve the ‘polluting energy’ bound by the [Anti-Law]. Only by signing the [Anti-Law Contract] can you indirectly master this power.”
This statement is not unfounded. If Nie Yin wants to become his assistant and jointly develop the Extreme Shadow Warrior series enchanted and colored by Shadow Pollution, she must proficiently wield Shadow Power.
Yuan Zhu does not delusionally expect the other party to make Shadow their own ‘core system.’ But maintaining a pure ‘human (half-elf)’ posture makes it impossible to operate Shadow Pollution.
Therefore, Anti-Law is essential. Yuan Zhu is even willing to take a step back proactively, writing the usage rights of Shadow Power into the contract, allowing the other party to freely manipulate Shadow Power without suffering erosion or distortion, with all costs borne by him.
Translated, it means giving the other party the usage rights of Shadow Power for free, with no costs or side effects.
He has enjoyed a similar operation in Mao Mao King’s Happy Home, which is the Uniform.
Mao Mao King sealed their own ‘supernatural power’ into a Uniform, allowing members of Happy Home to control and use it freely, with no side effects. It can even be actively DIYed, adding other pollution sources to transform, mutate, and enhance the Uniform’s strength.
However, this kind of ‘freebie’ has limits. When the Uniform’s strength reaches the limit of the ‘seed,’ it faces the choice of upgrading the Anti-Law Contract on the basis of the ‘free trial version,’ becoming Mao Mao King’s direct employee.
Or stop there, using the Uniform as a piece of advanced equipment; or even reverse it, devouring, digesting, and absorbing the Uniform to develop one’s own ‘knockoff pirated version,’ infringing on Mao Mao King.
Yuan Zhu’s Anti-Law is the type that proactively cedes profit, giving Shadow Power for the girl to squander for free, helping him develop and perfect the Shadow Frog Fitness System.
Without signing this Anti-Law, Yuan Zhu cannot truly employ the other party. Even if employed, it would only be superficial ordinary business.
This also does not align with Nie Yin’s interests and ideas. She genuinely needs a ‘sugar daddy’ to provide resources and an experimental environment to help her complete her transformation.
Thus, both sides hit it off immediately. Nie Yin’s soft but principled response: “I can sign the Anti-Law, but we must also sign a Law to protect my rights.”
This time it was Yuan Zhu’s turn to ponder, then he nodded: “Fine, but the Anti-Law Contract needs new content added. You’ve studied the basics of Law and know how to spot traps and loopholes in agreements. So you must also know how to craft ‘contract agreements’ with hidden traps, right?”
Nie Yin remained outwardly composed, but her ears perked up curiously, some emotion buried deep in her heart stirred: “I know a little.”
“Good! I’ll hire you as my Anti-Law Consultant. From my perspective of interests, craft ‘loaded Anti-Law trap contracts’ targeted at other business rivals and clients. Can you do it?!”
Before the Anti-Law was even established, Yuan Zhu preemptively revealed part of his ambition. He wanted to see the girl’s reaction. Could she aid the tyrant, think from the boss’s perspective, persecute more of her own kind for the company’s benefit?
However, upon hearing this, Nie Yin’s little ears stiffened straight, her mood exceptionally excited and thrilled, her voice even carrying rare hints of joy and eagerness: “I can do it!”
Snake Snake: “This guy might be a white-cut-black? Something’s off.”
Yuan Zhu: “Her inner negative emotions are so intense, it’s not surprising there’s some contrast. Bullied to the extreme, it’s either suicide or blackening. The little girl is soft on the outside but tough inside, a good seedling for blackening, worth cultivating.”
Snake Snake: “King, I have a plan! Your two tests both got good feedback. Whether revealing your intent to conduct illegal forbidden research or hinting at her crafting more Anti-Law traps for you, her responses are all very ‘positive and upward.’ Such talent deserves sincerity for sincerity. If you no longer hide your ‘evil,’ she will likely respond positively, mutual pursuit, gradually melting her frozen heart. This is a highly feasible PUA strategy route!”
Yuan Zhu: “Overbearing CEO’s blackening little secretary? Now, based on the other party’s Employment Agreement, draft an Anti-Law version. Make the initial version lenient, freely giving Shadow Power with no side effects. Once cooperation deepens and trust is built, try using Shadow to gradually pollute her, pulling her into our camp. Also, reinforce the ‘Confidentiality Agreement’ content, setting costs she cannot bear.”
After a series of seemingly soft counterattacks that actually firmly held the line, refusing to yield an inch in extreme tug-of-war, Yuan Zhu and Nie Yin jointly drafted two Employment Contracts.
The content of both ‘contract agreements’ is largely the same. The Law version introduces the power of Pale Great Law, mainly to safeguard Nie Yin’s interests, preventing Yuan Zhu from swallowing them unjustly.
While the Anti-Law version focuses more on Yuan Zhu’s rights, establishing a series of harsher ‘Non-compete Agreements.’ But mainly centered on absolute secrecy, exclusive patents for supernatural research, and such domains.
“Happy cooperation!”
Once both contracts took effect simultaneously, Yuan Zhu instantly shouldered all of Nie Yin’s accumulated debts from studying and living at Rain Courtyard. Moreover, his second panel Anti-Law opened a separate group for her in a giveaway mode, open for her to take as she pleased.
The moment the Anti-Law was achieved, a faint mental connection suddenly appeared between the half-elf and Yuan Zhu. This made the other party extremely tense, crashing into rigid immobility again.
Yuan Zhu, through the Anti-Law, captured the vague changes in Nie Yin’s inner world. Her mental world was currently erupting in a fierce Mental Wave storm, dominated by shock, fear, panic, shyness, helplessness, shame…
The girl felt utterly unaccustomed to the soul connection brought by the Anti-Law and was directly frightened.
