…
Tong stared at Li Feihong with an odd look and astonishment after he read the status.
'This guy created a farm world of his own?'
'But why does he have only one skill?'
”Why didn't you buy a skill from the system shop?”
Tong asked, which caused Li Feihong to lower his head in embarrassment.
”M-My skill upkeep was too high. I had a hard time surviving when I was young. So I decided to save up my lifespan.”
Tong nodded. It was true. The upkeep of 1,000 lifespans a year was excessive at the beginning of the reincarnation as the reward from the system was a thousand lifespan in early missions. The rewards only got higher after the eleventh mission onward.
With this kind of environment and upbringing in this world, developing a thrifty behavior was natural.
He also kept his promise my writing his status into the scroll as well. However, Tong did not write every skill he had. He only jotted down his [Sword Mastery] and [Firearm Creation] skill into the scroll.
Li Feihong read the scroll and looked at Tong in awe and fear. Just by these two skills, Tong could have killed Li Feihong any time he wanted to.
”T-Then, can we form a contract now?”
The nervous guy glanced at Tong and the door as if he could not wait to dash away from this place as soon as possible.
”Answer me a question first. How did you survive that day when the system forced us to fight each other?”
”I-I asked my boss to help. Lu Bu crippled the guy, then I gave him a finishing blow.”
”Hmm.”
Hearing that Li Feihong had a babysitter like Lu Bu for the event that day, Tong could not help but feel jealous. His life would have been much easier if he had a legendary general looking after him when he was young.
”Relax, I trust you. System, I want to confirm if we form a Clan contract together, will we get a mission that can harm each other in the future?”
[… No, contractee comrades will not get any quest like that. The same applies to all type of contracts.]
”In this case, I've already formed a contract with my partner. Can I form another different contract with other reincarnators?”
[Yes, you can.]
With the confirmation of the system, Tong relaxed and smiled at Li Feihong, who heaved out a sigh of relief.
”Alright, buddy. Let's form the contract. System, help us please?”
…
…
The Clan Contract had been formed, and the status menu of the two had another tab with the description ”Clansmen” on it. Tong tested by pushing on that tab, a name list and a chat box appeared. Tong's name was on top of the list with a crown icon on it, which indicated that he was the leader of the guild.
”Isn't this like a guild menu?”
”Y-Yeah. It's really a guild menu.”
Both Tong and Li Feihong were stunned at the new discovery of the clan contract benefits. If this was what they were thinking, they could send important messages to each other in a long distance in this era, which took weeks or months to deliver the news.
”Well, let's forget about the past and work together from now on.”
Tong extended his right and in a gesture for a handshake, which Li Feihong grabbed it with both hands in earnest.
”Thank you! Thank you! I'll do my best to help you!”
”Well, you can actually help me right now. You can breed warhorses, right?”
”Eh? Oh, yes! Yes, I can.”
”My army need warhorses. Can you trade me a few? Say 50,000? I'll trade you with the magic cooking utensil in this room. You can make beer, make ice cubes, or modern dishes with it.”
Staring at Tong in astonishment, Li Feihong had a second thought about this clan contract. They had formed a pact for less than a minute, Tong already asked for unfair trade.
'What do you by [a few]? You are practically robbing me 50,000 of my warhorses for this thing? Every ten warhorses will cost me one lifespan for keeping the gate open to transfer them out. Then I'll have to use 5,000 lifespans in this trade! Dammit, this is a scam!'
Tong could read the facial expression of the timid man and sensed the dissatisfaction of the other side. He started his sale talks.
”I have a manual right here. To use this tool, you have to put a few simple ingredients into the pot. Stir it for 5-10 seconds and voila! A cold glass of beer! This is a magic tool, you know? I spent a shopping ticket and 10,000 lifespans for it. I'm reselling it to you as cheap as 50,000 warhorses that you can breed them easily with your skill. Isn't this a good trade for you?”
Li Feihong sighed. He felt like he had done something bad to Zhang Tong in his previous life that he had to repay his karmic sin by helping this ”Tong”.
”Alright, I'll trade it with you. But I cannot provide you with the horses at the moment. I need a month and a half to breed 5,000 right now. The number can increase if I keep them to be my breeding horses. So you probably have to wait about a year until I can complete this trade.”
Hearing that he could get 50,000 fine warhorses in a year, Tong grinned from ear to ear. Although his inner instinct told him that he should kill this timid man for some reason, he felt like he could forgive Li Feihong even if he had done something to him in his previous life.
”Thank you, friend! I'll be sure to help you when you are in need… Ah crap, I forgot something very important! Has the news about Dong Zhuo's men reached you?”
”D-Dong Zhuo's men!?”
”Yes. I met them at the main hall with Ding Yuan today. They said they wanted to go to my city, but I think they will try to entice Lu Bu to join their side as in the historical timeline. You'd better be careful.”
The face of Li Feihong turned solemn. The turning point event that would change the fate of Lu Bu would arrive soon.
If they could twist it, Lu Bu might be able to see salvation. But if they could not, the road to Hell would be the only path waiting for this God of War.
