[…Lilique is “looking forward” to what will happen next!]
[1. Greet her with a sinister smile and say: You wouldn’t want the whole world to know your identity as the Vampire Princess, would you? (Increases Obedience Level)]
[2. Hand her a piece of clothing and say with disgust: I didn’t expect the dignified Vampire Princess to be an exhibitionist. (Triggers Shame State)]
[3. Take out a contract document and make the Vampire Princess work for you. (Increases Work Efficiency and Obedience Level)]
Looking at the three options before her, Luwei’s eyelids twitched.
This Relationship Option seemed to have some kind of obsession with clothes—perhaps the game’s built-in AI was trying to make sure this Plot could pass review.
But Luwei didn’t think much of it.
This is called freedom of character dress; I advise the reviewers not to interfere!
As for the options themselves, there weren’t any difficult requirements, so Luwei focused her attention on the rewards…
As per the old rules, Obedience Level was the priority.
Option one looked like it would increase Obedience Level by a lot.
Moreover, given Lilique’s current state, such a threat might have unexpected effects…
Sizing up the other girl’s confused and flustered expression, Luwei almost chose it.
As for option three, its benefits were more reflected in the Contract itself.
No matter what kind of Contract Luwei signed with Lilique, the result would be beneficial to Luwei.
For example, making Lilique her bodyguard.
She could say: A scary Vampire girl has been eye-ing me lately; I’ll give you money, and you’re responsible for protecting me.
Hearing that the content of the Contract was merely to protect Luwei, Lilique would surely sign it without hesitation.
With the binding power of an Equality Contract, if Lilique, as a bodyguard, intended to take revenge on the protected target, she would immediately be punished by the breach-of-contract terms!
When that time came—on the day Luwei’s past bad deeds were truly exposed—no matter how much Lilique flew into a rage, she would be restricted by the Contract and could only glare at Luwei…
It seemed like a good choice.
Luwei couldn’t help but carefully weigh the pros and cons…
Lilique’s heart was far from calm.
Although she had anticipated this, hearing such words come from Luwei’s mouth still made her feel conflicted.
“You… already know?”
Lilique pretended she was hearing this news for the first time.
After all, if she wanted to continue staying by Luwei’s side to recover her Mana, the best way would be to act as if nothing had happened.
But unfortunately, the current development had completely exceeded Lilique’s expectations…
In her view, Luwei seemed to have suddenly gained some kind of power, and her whole demeanor had changed.
She spoke with great vigor and no guilt at all, as if she were a different person compared to the one who was just afraid of her!
And more importantly—
Luwei had pointed out her identity, and that identity didn’t exactly have a good reputation.
Vampire Princess Lilique was famous for her great strength; rumors from the outside world claimed she had a perverse personality and was moody—her reputation was quite negative.
Many people would be frightened by this title; when they met her, they were always respectful and spoke kind words.
She was truly worried that Luwei would be affected by these rumors…
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have hidden it from you… but I really had no ill intent…”
Lilique tried to explain.
But Luwei didn’t reply; she simply handed her a yellowed scroll.
“Labor… Contract?”
Lilique read the words on the scroll with a confused expression…
Luwei had considered it over and over and finally decided to sign a Contract with Lilique!
A simple romantic relationship definitely wasn’t binding enough.
Look at her; Lilique could actually say something like “no ill intent”…
She was a “landmine” character with extremely unstable emotions!
One moment she might be physically tearing the heart out of the person she liked, while the next she’d be saying “sorry” and “I love you”…
perhaps she really didn’t have ill intent then, either.
In this situation, the Equality Contract had to make an appearance…
“Let’s cooperate, Lilique!”
The corners of Luwei’s mouth curled into a confident arc.
Combined with her somewhat intimidating facial features, she really looked the part.
As for the choice of Contract content…
She wasn’t so stupid as to specifically make Lilique a bodyguard; how could that produce any value?
After much thought, Luwei had already made a decision—
“Vampire Princess Lilique, do you want to become the advertising spokesperson for the Lu Wei Group?”
As Luwei’s voice fell, the content of the Contract began to automatically surface on the scroll’s face…
“As long as you help film advertisements, you’ll get a share of the product’s sales. How about it?”
Clearly, Lilique had no concept of “advertising,” but she could distinguish the magical nature of this scroll.
She tilted her head in confusion and muttered:
“Luwei wants to sign an Equality Contract with me?”
“Correct.”
Luwei nodded with certainty.
As if afraid Lilique would hesitate, she added another sentence.
“As long as you sign here, you can have an endless supply of Life Potions!”
Sure enough.
The allure of the Life Potion hit Lilique right where it hurt!
“Really?”
Even her gaze changed; she stared at the scroll obsessively, unable to look away…
[…Party A can take down advertisements at any time and stop Party B’s profit sharing…]
[Party B can obtain a fixed monthly salary, but must appear in no fewer than 1 advertisement per month…]
[Profit sharing can be replaced with equivalent products… This Contract does not affect Party B’s concurrent holding of other positions…]
[Party B must not intentionally damage Party A’s interests in any way… including but not limited to passive work strikes or unauthorized negative remarks…]
At the very end of the Contract content, there was also a line of very small text.
[Note: Direct personal attacks on the employer (Party A) are strictly prohibited. According to Article 4, Section 1 of the Contract, it is considered damaging Party A’s interests, including but not limited to surveillance, violent coercion, or direct attacks.]
Luwei figured Lilique wouldn’t understand these Contract details, so she simply wrote the conditions a bit more harshly…
But why had she been staring at the Contract for so long?
Could she have discovered the small line at the end that said “must not attack Party A”?
Finally, Lilique raised her head, her small face looking a bit solemn.
“This Equality Contract rune is so powerful!”
“Is Luwei also a Magician??”
So she was obsessing over that…?
The runes of the Labor Contract were automatically generated by the Panel, so of course they were high-level.
But Luwei couldn’t tell her that, so she tossed her head proudly.
“There are many things you don’t know…”
“Don’t think you can look down on others just because you’re a Vampire Princess.”
Hearing these words, Lilique’s expression seemed to turn a bit strange.
“You… don’t care about my title?”
“Is having a title a big deal?”
Luwei asked back.
‘She actually… really doesn’t care…?’
A trace of a different emotion flashed through Lilique’s heart.
She took the Equality Contract and scanned the content—
It was a very simple job.
Roughly, it involved Lilique filming Shadow Stones and playing those images for others to see.
Seeing Lilique obediently sign the Contract, the expression on Luwei’s face became even more triumphant.
“Hmph, even an Angel has to work under me, let alone a mere Vampire Princess…”
Luwei spoke quite loudly, and because she was too excited, a trace of strangeness appeared on Lilique’s face.
“Angel?”
Her eyes flickered slightly.
