Chapter 461 - Leaving Battle Royale Zone (2/2)
Lilim attempted to put herself in Pu Jing's shoes. By calculating what he had to pay and compared with his increasing outstanding debt, she had an idea.
”Can I make him my forever debt slave?”
She laughed as she pulled data from modern banks, researching a debt structure from the 21st-century world.

Back to Pu Jing
[Hahaha! You're right. Well, you're quite smart, aren't you? I'm surprised that you know a lot about this even though your previous government isn't into capitalism. I don't mind giving you two hundred years interest rate free!]
”Then, what about the total debt? Can you reduce it a bit? I only ask for two nonsensical skills and your permission to leave the country. I don't mind if I'm still in the game, you know.”
Pu Jing began bargaining. This was a crucial point if he could fool Lilim with his scam trick.
[I won't reduce it, but I'll give you special interest rates.]
”How special?”
[First 200 years, interest-free. 1% Rate in the year 201 to 300, 5% rate for the year 301 to 400, and 10% rate afterward. The interest rate is so cheap that even loaners in your world are going to drool over this term, you know?]
It was a progressive interest rate from a loan shark in the 21st-century, which was a capitalism trap. If the debtee could not decrease their outstanding debt on time before the interest rate rose, they would be forever a debt slave, which would have to work for the rest of their lives paying off their interests.
However, Lilim overcharged the interest rate beyond the 400 years as she wanted to trap him.
In reality, Pu Jing could not possibly pay off for the debt at the moment. The 1% interest rate a year would still be 400,000 lifespan, which was higher than Pu Jing had agreed to pay annually.
”That's fine with me, but can I add a few terms?” Pu Jing pretended to fall for her plan.
[What terms?]
”Well, the minimum payment is 200,000 lifespan, correct?”
[Correct.]
”Then, hypothetically in the future, I cultivate a lot and get 800,000 lifespans that year, and I want to pay more than usual, say, 500,000 instead of 200,000. The additional amount I pay will reduce the outstanding debt I have, and it won't be calculated in your interest rate in that year.”
[I get the picture. It's a modern loan payment system, right?]
”Yes, very similar to that.”
[I see no trouble with that.]
”Also, I would like to add that if I pay off the debt within the first 200 years, I hope to get a reward from you.”
[Extorting a reward from me?]
”Correct. I want to cultivate demonic arts, just like how Zhang Tong is cultivating.”
[That's impossi-wait.]
Lilim almost said that it would be impossible, but she had another idea.
[I have another idea. Since this is a big tribute coming from you, I can give you a reward if you succeed in paying off the debt. I can make you cultivate both angel and demon wings, but you will have to complete the deal first to prove yourself.]
Pu Jing snickered. Everything went according to his plan.
”Alright. You promised.”
.
Lilim cackled in a high pitch voice as she also conned Pu Jing.
It was impossible to cultivate both angel and demon wings without a unique constitution or bloodline. However, she learned a few tricks after she had experimented with Liu Yang's daughter, Hua Shi, and Sun Quan.
The resolution to this problem was simple.
All Lilim had to do was to reincarnate Pu Jing as one of their sons or daughters!
”HAHAHAHA! I know what you're trying to do, Pu Jing. Once you reestablished a new clan and recruited a bunch of immortals, you can just pay off the debt in the first 200 years by having them donating lifespan for you! I saw what Zhang Tong has done to his clan, fool!”
She did not care if Pu Jing might extort an additional cultivation technique by bribing her with lifespan. As long as this dimension grew stronger, she did not mind giving leeway to these sinners.
Moreover, she encouraged them to do it. Until the last otherworlder remained, she wanted them to abuse everything for the sake of their goals.

Getting the approval from Lilim, Pu Jing crossed the sinner game's boundary and exited the combat zone.

Pu Jing heaved a sigh of relief that he exited the civil war. For now, he was safe from Tong, Lu Bu, and other immortals.
”Let's go. I want to conquer Europe within 20 years.”
Everyone followed after Pu Jing to the west.
