Chapter 234 Experiment with Rule Items [10,000 Words]_5
"Okay, I'll go now," Wang Hui nodded, not saying much else, grabbing her bag and car keys and leaving.
"Can you tell me about the last instance you visited?" Mu Rufeng asked.
Shen Yu was silent for a while before finally speaking up.
The last instance Shen Yu entered was a new one, named "University Cafeteria."
Inside, he was a staff member of the cafeteria, responsible for serving meals to the students.
Everything was going smoothly until he was sabotaged by a Contractor, then punished by the cafeteria manager, losing an arm in the process.
Of course, he could have chosen to return directly, but that would have meant losing an arm as well.
So, he gritted his teeth and endured, thankfully being a Contractor meant that losing an arm wasn't a huge problem.
Unfortunately, his luck took another dive when he was tricked by the same Contractor again, causing him to spill a bucket of soup.
Spilling a bucket of soup meant paying ten times the compensation, and without the money to pay, he would have to compensate with his body.
Shen Yu didn't have the money to pay and had already lost an arm; if he lost more, he wouldn't even be able to work in the cafeteria.
With no other options, Shen Yu activated his Login Bracelet and returned directly.
After returning, he thought about seeking revenge, but when he reported the incident, he couldn't find the identity of that Contractor.
Obviously, the Contractor who had tricked him was a lone wolf, possibly even an unregistered one.
Of course, it was possible that they had used some item to change their appearance, and their name was probably false.
Shen Yu, now armless, started to become despondent.
In such a condition, the next instance was tantamount to certain death.
Many instances required you to play a role that necessitated the use of hands.
Without hands, he was unfit for over ninety percent of these roles, which meant certain death in the instance.
How could he not feel despondent in such a situation?
He considered buying some limb-related items, but with the release of the Login Bracelet, this type of item became in demand.
Over ninety percent of the limb items in the national item stores were exchanged and taken.
The remaining ten percent were either too expensive in terms of Contribution Value or not applicable.
Some people said that the Contract Demon inside him could help.
Yes, some Contract Demons would assist you, but most wouldn't.
Once a Contract is signed, if the Contractor dies, the Contract Demon dies as well.
If a Contractor truly wants to commit suicide, the Contract Demon won't just stand by.
If the Contractor can no longer provide flesh and blood to the Contract Demon according to the Contract, the demon can consume the Contractor's flesh.
If violations occur repeatedly, once the Contractor is consumed entirely, the Contract Demon will take over the Contractor's body.
Of course, in such a situation, the Contract still cannot be dissolved.
Also, that Contract Demon cannot go to the real world, nor can it contract with other Contractors.
"Then you're really lucky," Mu Rufeng said with a smile upon hearing this.
"Lucky? Brother Mu, don't joke," Shen Yu said, his face becoming even more unsightly.
"I didn't come today just to see you, I also wanted to conduct an experiment," Mu Rufeng said, taking out a Rule Item.
"Take a look."
Shen Yu looked at the item on the table, at a loss for how to proceed.
"Sorry, I forgot you don't have hands. Maybe you could use your feet to check the attributes?" suggested Mu Rufeng.
"...."
Shen Yu remained silent, but eventually, instead of using his feet, he bent down and touched the item with his forehead.
After inspecting the properties of the item, he became incredibly surprised.
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, this item...it..." Shen Yu was extremely excited.
"But, Brother Mu, I don't have any soul banknotes, and this looks like it consumes a lot of them," Shen Yu remembered, his excitement tempering slightly.
"I have soul banknotes. Didn't you know about the slaughterhouse issue?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Ah, right, Brother Mu, I'll definitely pay you back," Shen Yu became excited once again.
With Shen Yu's status, he shouldn't have been privy to Mu Rufeng's dealings.
But, ironically, since Shen Yu was once a player himself, working behind Zhou Wen, he was involved.
Even with those positions at the slaughterhouse, Shen Yu was involved.
So he knew about the trade with the Crimson Preferred from the Mysterious World; not knowing exactly how much could be made, but he was sure Mu Rufeng had earned a lot.
"Let's first regrow the arm you lost in the instance and see how much soul banknotes it costs."
Mu Rufeng said this and pressed a machine against Shen Yu's left shoulder.
Soon, the screen on the machine displayed a price: 10,000 yuan.
"Not bad, it's only ten thousand," Mu Rufeng immediately took out ten thousand and stuffed it into the cash slot.
"Brace yourself, you might feel a bit strange," Mu Rufeng said.
"Mhm," Shen Yu nodded in response.
A special power emanated from the machine and entered his body.
The next moment, a snow-white bone started growing rapidly from where his left arm had been severed.
Around this bone, blood vessels and muscles also started to grow quickly.
In just a little over ten seconds, a complete arm had regenerated.
Shen Yu immediately waved his new arm around, feeling surprisingly strong, with no impediment or discomfort.
