Chapter 551: Chapter 342 The Omnipotent Desire_3

He had so many, many desires!

He lay back down on the bed, trying to fall asleep, silently reciting the true name of the shop—"Reincarnation’s End."

...

...

...

The 58-year-old merchant Hong Botao handed over that Jade Token, placing it on the other side of the Judgment Balance.

In reality, he didn’t carry the Jade Token with him, since his body was still comatose in the ICU.

But somehow, Hong Botao still managed to pull out all his belongings.

The balance tipped slightly in favor of the Jade Token side—a trade that wasn’t quite fair.

Old Wang felt a bit awkward, "Your balance is really not giving its owner any face... Is it that fair?"

A month’s time indeed wasn’t enough to cure an illness.

This Jade Token also had some value, considered an F-grade Strange Object, with the effect of helping people fall asleep quickly, and that was it, nothing like geomantic luck truly existed!

If he wanted more, he could go excavate in the Mountain and Sea Realm...

This type of jade had reserves of about 670 million tons in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Of course, it also had a bit of cultural relic value, suspected to be something used by a royal noble of the Great Qing Dynasty.

During the hundred years of humiliation in Xia Country, the Jade Pendant had made its way overseas, and Hong Botao had acquired it by chance.

In Xiao Ai’s evaluation system, the value of the Jade Pendant was about 400-500 yuan.

Even a highly developed technological civilization still recognized the artistic value of cultural relics, which was quite fascinating.

"What a hassle, should I just give him a cup of Life Water?" Old Wang was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage. Especially over such a small deal, that would just be nauseating, right?

But he didn’t want to suffer a huge loss either.

"Xiao Ai, how about I take a bit of your lifespan? Not much, just one year, to contribute to the prosperity of our shop. After all, you can change bodies and never age."

Xiao Ai replied in a cold tone, "Captain, although I can change bodies, the current one will age and die regardless. Due to cost limitations, even if aged, I will not replace it."

"Moreover, I don’t have a soul, and taking life span could disrupt my core database."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

That settles it, then!

Your core database is already a mess.

What else could he do!

As Wang Hao grew anxious, he noticed another piece of information appearing on the large Crystal Ball screen.

He let out a soft "huh" and an amused smile appeared on his face, "Turns out there can be repeat customers."

Since the business with Hong Botao was not going very smoothly, his time was temporarily frozen.

Wang Hao relegated this customer to the shadows.

Then, he let in "Fu Liaoyi."

The young man’s eyes were bloodshot, apparently from crying a long time, breathing heavily, looking completely dejected.

"Sir, this isn’t your first time here, so I won’t go over the detailed rules again."

Captain spoke in a calm voice, "You must have encountered some trouble... You should have made up with your ex-girlfriend, right?"

...

Even though he clearly knew the story’s origin and course, the Captain still knowingly asked for details.

Xiao Ai was feeling somewhat uncomfortable with human interaction models, beginning to ponder what would happen if her lifespan were taken.

Amidst intense calculations, a faint white mist emerged from her head.

The Black Flame from "Reincarnation’s End" was eager to try and emitted a wicked, strange laugh.

"Want to know the answer? It’ll cost just a small price."

"Like, wear a JK black stocking uniform to brighten the Captain’s day, and you’ll get your answer!"

...

Fu Liaoyi’s face turned red, and he appeared very uneasy, not knowing how to broach the subject.

"That bottle of water should be effective, right?"

"If it doesn’t work, we will offer appropriate compensation," Old Wang said calmly.

Finally, Fu Liaoyi clenched his teeth, "I... didn’t reconcile with her, and I didn’t use that bottle of water..."

"She’s fallen for someone else, long since cheated on me; she just kept me in the dark. She spent and used my resources, and now she’s dumped me. No matter what, I can’t... I can’t like her anymore!"

His pride was strong.

Yet he couldn’t let go.

Right.

Wang Hao smiled, nodded, and as a service provider, the most important thing was patience, to let the client finish speaking.

Then, the atmosphere fell silent.

"I understand. Since you’ve voluntarily given up your right to use that bottle of water, we won’t offer a refund."

"I wasn’t thinking about a refund," said Fu Liaoyi, his fists clenched.

"So, what is your desire, sir? To forget all this trouble and forget all worries? Or to find a way to get revenge on her, or even to kill them? Or perhaps to have sudden wealth, to enjoy the pleasure of being a billionaire?"

"All these desires can be fulfilled. But please be aware, you will need to pay a corresponding price."

"Since you have almost nothing, you can only pay with your lifespan, the only valuable thing you have left."

Fu Liaoyi momentarily lost his words; what was his desire exactly?

To kill directly?

To kill someone!

That was too extreme, not necessary!

As a man who grew up in humble surroundings, his values were ultimately simple.

Or, to find a new love? Someone prettier and wealthier?

Was this kind of trade-induced love really what he wanted in his heart?

It was not.

He just couldn’t stand it, couldn’t stand it!

After all, he had only ever been in love once, still yearning for that pure attraction of the spirit, for a love that could last until the end.

Finally, he lowered his head, his rationality and emotions clashing, and said somewhat breathlessly, "Please... relieve me of my troubles and pain, just that, without hurting anyone. That’s not too much to ask, is it?"

Wang Hao said with a smile, "That request can be met, it will cost one year of life. Soon, you will be free from your troubles."

Fu Liaoyi clenched his fist, his heart pounding, "Deal!"
