There was a significant gap.
“It’s just a small gift. I hope you like it.”
A beautifully packaged box replaced the snacks.
Eric’s brows twitched. He created something out of thin air, and the boss wiped it with a wave of his hand. The boss had grown quite far even without using the power of the shop itself.
Despite this, Eric didn’t intend to open it. In his opinion, this might be no inferior to Pandora’s box.
“Then, open it.” The maid chuckled coldly.
Eric smiled and said, “Can you help me defeat the two native deities in the world of ‘Yan Wuyue’ in person?”
“Oh?” Boss Luo clarified, “Mr. Eric, you mean elimination? Do you intend to have me go all out?”
“Of course.” Eric nodded, “Your store is doing an honest business. How dare I pull a scam? This is my collateral. If I can’t offer a quarter of the true souls in this world fragment in the end, this will be the compensation.”
With that said, Eric silently picked up the old leather suitcase he had been carrying and placed it in front of Luo Qiu.
The maid smiled slightly. Her gaze acknowledged Eric’s initiative.
It was as if Eric threw away the weight in his heart. He pressed his palm decisively on this contract.
“Is it now?” Boss Luo collected the contract.
Eric shook his head and said, “No hurry, I still need to make some preparations. If the boss is still interested, why not walk around the ‘Yan Wuyue’ world? The time flow here is different from the main world so that it won’t delay much of your time. Once I’m ready, I will naturally notify you.”
“I see…” Luo Qiu nodded and asked curiously, “Is there any place Mr. Eric can introduce me?”
Eric turned his eyes, “How about the vicinity of Mountain Famen? It also happens to be the ‘gateway’ of this world.”
…
The breeze blew the green grass on the hillside with waves of grass swaying. Under the cherry blossom tree, the tables and chairs for the reception were gone. Eric was sitting alone under the tree, carefully wiping a small string puppet.
The limbs and other parts of the puppet were connected to the control bar with silk threads. Through the manipulation of Eric’s fingers, this little string puppet trembled flexibly like a real person and spoke.
With a voice like a doll, this little string puppet laughed weirdly at this time, “Eric, Eric…”
“Master Eric, that’s the one you said can fulfill any wish?”
Suddenly, a girl in kimono appeared behind Eric at the moment the cherry blossoms fell. With a face like a porcelain doll, the girl said slightly disdainfully, “He doesn’t appear strong. I have been hiding in the tree, but he doesn’t detect my presence.”
Eric didn’t turn his head but said calmly, “That’s because, Miki, you didn’t have any malicious intent.”
The girl touched her belly, looked at Eric with a shy face, and said softly, “I’m stuffed.”
“Then, go and rest.” Eric waved his hand.
It continued calling out his name as always.
“Eric… Eric… Eric…”
…
