Fang Yue: ??!

Does this mean that feeding the parchment paper [Black Embers] will allow it to answer a question?

Fang Yue looked at the only 1g of Black Embers in his backpack, and the [Silver Stone] next to it.

He took out 1g of Black Embers and looked at the parchment paper suspiciously.

"You don't even have a mouth, how are you going to eat? Besides, this doesn't count as a question."

Words immediately appeared on the parchment paper.

[I poured the Black Embers on the Parchment Paper Lord, and the Parchment Paper Lord happily ate them!]

Bone ash with parchment paper?

Fang Yue scattered the Black Embers on the parchment paper.

The next moment, a bizarre scene appeared.

The Black Embers granules, upon touching the parchment paper, instantly melted as if encountering high-temperature magma, merging into the parchment paper.

The speed was so fast that however many Black Embers granules Fang Yue scattered, the parchment paper swallowed that many, without any pause.

The image was like a starving ghost who hadn't eaten for days, seeing a feast, simply devouring it ravenously!

The 1g of Black Embers was quickly eaten up, and only then did a single word slowly appear on the parchment paper.

[爽! (Shuang! - Satisfying!)]

Fang Yue's face darkened.

"Now that you've had your fill, get to work. Tell me, why can you appear in the game? What exactly are you? And what help can you give me in the game?"

This time, the parchment paper didn't dawdle, seemingly because it had eaten so happily that it forgot its previous one-for-one condition, and words appeared.

[I am Fang Yue, and I signed the most vicious and unequal contract in history with the great and noble Parchment Paper Lord. The lowly me and the great Parchment Paper Lord are bound together in soul, so when entering the game, the great Parchment Paper Lord can also follow.]

[In the game, the lowly and ignorant me was frightened by the supreme and great Parchment Paper Lord. I piously knelt down and asked the Parchment Paper Lord what its identity was. The Parchment Paper Lord told me that it is the supreme, unique, and unparalleled Yu-rank (Rain-rank) Ghastly Object!]

[I trembled and requested the supreme and great Parchment Paper Lord to help the humble and lowly me overcome the difficulties.]

[The benevolent and kind Parchment Paper Lord agreed, as long as I provide the Parchment Paper Lord with things it is interested in, such as the existence of Black Embers, the Parchment Paper Lord will, depending on the situation, grant me the opportunity to find the correct path in my lost journey.]

...Just say what you want to say, can you not add so many adjectives? It's clearly just a parchment paper with a very limited vocabulary!

However... the parchment paper is actually a Yu-rank Ghastly Object, which really shocked Fang Yue.

Although he didn't know what a Ghastly Object was, Fang Yue still had a concept of the Yu-rank level, which was basically equivalent to the existence of Lord Han.

I can't tell!

Such a small parchment paper is actually such a powerful thing!

Fang Yue happily sized up the parchment paper in the game, but unfortunately, this thing didn't change after eating the Black Embers, and its texture was exactly the same as in reality.

Using the Analytical Eye to look at it didn't reveal anything, and even the prompts didn't pop up.

A Ren-rank (Human-rank) skill trying to mooch off a Yu-rank Ghastly Object, can't mooch anything out, amazing, amazing, it seems to be the real deal.

Fang Yue was very happy in his heart, but he didn't quite understand the last sentence.

"I understand everything else, but what does 'will grant the opportunity to find the correct path in my lost journey' mean? Speak human language. You're not smart to begin with, why do you have to pretend to be literary every day?"

The parchment paper seemed angry, the words on the paper quickly disappeared, and it ignored Fang Yue.

"Say it, say it, I've already given you Black Embers, and I'm so strong, it's easy to kill Ghastly Objects, I'll definitely get you more Black Embers and even Black Stones to eat."

The parchment paper was tempted, as if considering whether to raise the price.

Finally, looking at the fledgling Fang Yue, it still didn't rush to fleece him.

[The foolish me, even unable to understand the words, once again asks the great Parchment Paper Lord for the meaning of the divine oracle.]

[The Parchment Paper Lord told me that as long as I encounter difficulties, or want to do something, take out the Parchment Paper Lord and offer the sweetest sacrifice, the Parchment Paper Lord will give relevant information. Even when encountering life-threatening dangers in the game, offer enough sacrifices, and the great Parchment Paper Lord will forgive my petty transgressions and find a way out for me in desperate situations.]

This isn't the same as the function of the parchment paper in reality!

The only difference is that the parchment paper in reality basically appears every time to say that I'm going to die, or someone is going to die.

However, the game and reality are different after all, and if it really works in the game... then it can avoid many dangers!

After all, dangers in reality are just natural and man-made disasters, and many ordinary people don't even see a major disaster once in their lifetime.

But in the game... it's really dangerous everywhere!

No! Wait!

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously, "Didn't we sign a contract? When I encounter danger, shouldn't you help me unconditionally with all your strength? What's the deal with adding money now?"

The parchment paper seemed angry.

[The foolish me, thought that relying on the constraints of the contract, he could make the great Parchment Paper Lord help him unconditionally.]

[However, this is a big mistake, and the foolish me will one day pay the price for this foolish idea!]

Hey! It even has a little temper!

Fang Yue shouted, "I've decided, I'm going to the wilderness now to challenge the [Nightchill Eclipse], challenge countless Ghastly Objects!"

Saying that, he stared at the parchment paper.

But the parchment paper didn't react at all.

Eh...

Is my determination not enough? Or will there be no feedback unless I take actual action?

After thinking about it, Fang Yue said, "I'm going on night patrol now. It's the second half of the night. I want to know if I'll encounter Ghastly Objects? Will Lin Ling break my legs after knowing I'm so late? I'm also going to tell Lin Ling that I like Hua Wuye in front of him, I want to pursue Hua Wuye... oh, no, it's that I've already become Lord Han's successor, and he's going to have a life-and-death duel with me!"

Putting aside whether he will encounter Ghastly Objects at night, just telling Lin Ling about being Lord Han's successor gives Fang Yue a high probability of getting beaten up by Lin Ling.

Getting beaten up is a little less dangerous, but it's still dangerous! The parchment paper can't not help me, right?

Fang Yue was thinking, and his face lit up with joy, because he saw words finally appearing on the parchment paper again.

However, the next moment, his joy suddenly froze.

Because the words on the parchment paper were——

[桀桀桀! (Jie Jie Jie!) The corpse is talking!]
