Chapter 110: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)
”I just want to find someone I can entrust my soul to. I heard from someone in the guild that a player who dies in the game will have their soul recycled by the system.”
He was quiet. “I don’t want that.”
[System notification: Player Liu Huai is mentioning content about soul trading that involves violations. The small TV will automatically receive the silence block. Player Liu Huai, please reduce the number of mentions or the system will consider blocking player Liu Huai’s small TV.]
Liu Huai was quiet.
“In addition to my soul, I have something else to give you, Bai Liu.” Liu Huai raised his tearful eyes. “This thing is more useful than my soul. After all, I am going to die and my soul is just a banknote for you. You can’t get any value from me. However, as long as you sign this with me, you can use my personal skill like you actually have this skill.”
Strange, yellow parchment paper appeared in front of Liu Huai.
The paper fell like a piece of unburned ash, fluttering down. Bai Liu reached for it and the parchment fell into Bai Liu’s hand.
Bai Liu looked over it.
[24 related notices and instructions on the transfer of personal skills prior to the player’s death.]
[Party A voluntarily transfers their desire derived personal skill to Party B before their death. If Party B agrees to inherit Party A’s personal skill, Party B will also inherit Party A’s desire, becoming the carrier of Party A’s desire and realizing the desire for them…]
[…If Party B already has a desire derived personal skill with a strong desire, the desires will be saturated. Party B who signed the contract to obtain Party A’s personal skill can’t bear too much desire and the second skill will be reduced to some extent. If a third skill is obtained, the usage effect will continue to be reduced. If Party B’s usage of the transferred personal skill isn’t effective, it isn’t due to the system. We hope both parties can understand…]
[…Before signing the contract, Party A is obliged to inform Party B of the origin of their desire. We hope that Party B will decide whether to sign the contract or not after listening and thinking…]
[The signing unit of the contract is the souls of both parties. Once signed, both parties can’t renege unless the soul is extinct. This contract involves desire and the soul. It requires both parties to sign voluntarily from the bottom of their hearts. They can’t be forced to sign.]
[One copy of the contract will be entered into the system of both parties upon signing. The original contract will be held by the impartial public agency system on behalf of both parties.]
[Party A: —]
[Party B: —]
Bai Liu read through it briefly before looking at Liu Huai. “I can’t sign this now. The system isn’t with me so the copy can’t be entered after singing. In addition, your contract is too restrictive to me on various levels. I need to inherit your desire and as my second skill, I can’t use it to its full extent.”
Then Bai Liu looked at Liu Huai’s severed arms and the daggers recalled to Liu Huai that were by his feet. The pure black reflective knife surfaces were embossed with ‘Blood.’
Bai Liu paused. “Still, your skills are interesting. They are indeed your most valuable thing but they aren’t the most effective for me.”
“In addition, your main purpose is to let me inherit your desire—to protect Liu Jiayi.” Bai Liu declared in a lukewarm manner.
Liu Huai looked up at Bai Liu in a panic. He had taken out the bargaining chip at the bottom of the box but Bai Liu didn’t express any eager desire to get it. This made him a bit flustered.
“You don’t want my skill?” Liu Huai asked in a trembling voice.
“No, your skills are very useful but not for me. There is a more suitable candidate for this contract than me. He is more suitable for your desire than me and is more capable of using your skills.” Bai Liu stared directly at Liu Huai. “It just depends on whether you are willing to change the transferor.”
Liu Huai asked in a somewhat confused manner. “Who is it?”

He worked very hard and finally reached the ninth floor where Bai Liu was. Once there, Mu Ke ran frantically to Ward 906. He fell a few times as he ran and tears flowed. Then once he saw Bai Liu talking to Liu Huai with one hand cut off, Mu Ke couldn’t hold back from falling to his knees and sobbing.
He had been frightened all night. He had been going down to call the nurses and almost lost his soul when he saw the explosion on the ninth floor. He climbed desperately and rushed upward!
Fortunately, Bai Liu was fine!
Mu Ke wiped away his tears while rubbing up against Bai Liu’s side. “You scared me to death!”
“Don’t cry and talk about business.” Bai Liu patted Mu Ke’s shoulder with his one hand and turned him to Liu Huai.
The tearful Mu Ke looked a bit dumbfounded at Liu Huai, who was staring at him with a serious expression. Liu Huai stared at Mu Ke, causing the latter to shrink back, his voice becoming a lot smaller. “…What’s going on?”
Bai Liu patted Mu Ke on the shoulder. “Give a brief introduction of yourself. How old are you, what are the conditions in your family, what are your arrangements for marriage and family in the future, how many children you are ready to have, do you have any bad hobbies, your educational background and how many girlfriends or boyfriends you have had.”
“?????” What was this? Was he going to have a blind date with this Liu Huai?!
Mu Ke became more and more confused but Bai Liu just calmly glanced at Mu Ke and signaled for him to start.
Mu Ke was still baffled but he was very obedient as he cautiously introduced himself. “Oh, my family’s conditions are quite good? There should be tens of billions? I don’t know very well. If you need to know then I can go back and ask. I am almost 21 years old this year. I don’t smoke, drink or have any bad habits. For my future marriage… I haven’t thought about this yet. I haven’t had any girlfriends or boyfriends. My education is a bachelor’s degree but I can take the test for a master’s degree at any time.”
Having said all of this, Mu Ke glanced at Bai Liu for help, asking with his eyes, ‘What is this situation?!’
Bai Liu raised his chin. “You should also introduce yourself, Liu Huai.”
Liu Huai took a deep breath as he examined Mu Ke up and down with a slightly critical gaze. “The person I’m satisfied with isn’t you. I wanted Bai Liu but he didn’t accept. Therefore, you are fine.”
Mu Ke stared at Bai Liu, whose expression didn’t change, in a blind manner. There was a huge amount of information revealed. ‘You were on a blind date with Bai Liu? You don’t want me to come?!’
Bai Liu handed the parchment to Mu Ke and motioned for him to read it. Mu Ke lowered his head and examined it. Once he raised his eyes, his gaze toward Liu Huai was complicated.
Was this man transferring his personal skill to Mu Ke? He knew that Liu Huai’s death was an irreversible part of the plan Bai Liu made a long time ago but he didn’t expect…
“I have a sister…” Liu Huai started telling Mu Ke some things about himself.
Bai Liu patiently waited for him to finish before speaking. Bai Liu stared at Liu Huai with insightful eyes. “What is the core of your desire? Liu Huai, you have to be honest with him if you want Mu Ke to bear your life’s desire and sister. Otherwise, I won’t let him easily sign this contract. This contract is engraved in his soul and his soul belongs to me. I need to be responsible for the souls in my hands.”
“I need to know everything.”
Liu Huai opened his mouth before closing it again.
