The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"Restrictions? ... Name a price first."

Aarons was actually very clear that he had no room for bargaining in front of a powerful man like Xia Ye who was unmatched.

It was just because he knew Xia Ye's identity as a demon, and Xia Ye was reluctant to throw away his reusable rations, so he had some restraining power.

What benefits he can get with this bargaining chip depends entirely on his negotiation skills.

"If you can stably control a territory, then I won't have to keep wandering around. So as long as you can provide me with memories regularly, I will help you realize this wish in my own way - but there is a condition."

Having said that, Xia Ye stretched out her fingers and gently pushed her glasses, and the reflection from the lenses covered her eyes.

"I will not follow your instructions for free. You must pay an equivalent compensation for every request and order you give me."

“…Do you want money?”

"The food needs of demons like us are no different from those of humans, so the salary you pay is enough."

Not only did he have to pay Xia Ye his normal salary, but if he wanted to command her to do things for him, he would also have to pay her something else.

However, considering Xia Ye's strength and talent, such a request is actually not particularly outrageous.

"Humans take tobacco and alcohol as a hobby beyond survival, and for us demons, human life is similar to this."

"Are you going to...eat people directly!?"

"...Please don't treat me as an unintelligent monster. To me, human flesh and blood are no different from those of animals."

If it doesn't mean sacrificing one's own flesh and blood, then what does the so-called "living life" refer to?

"I will remind you what level of instructions requires payment, so you can rest assured to communicate with me normally. In addition, according to the principle of equal exchange that I have always followed, you who give me instructions must pay the remuneration yourself."

"Wait, the reward you mentioned is..."

"According to the concept I just saw from your memory... you can probably regard me as a 'succubus'."

Hearing this, Aarons' whole body tensed up involuntarily.

In his previous life, he was not a young man with unlimited energy. At an age when his physical strength has begun to decline, even if he has unnecessary desires on a whim, he will fall into a state of severe weakness and fatigue after dealing with them.

And now he has to use this method to pay his wages... I'm afraid that in a few days, he will really be exhausted.

"Isn't this unfair to you? Because the final choice is yours, so you just need to control your desires and there will be no problem."

"Ahahahaha...you really think too highly of me..."

How could a young body of only twenty years old endure physical desires - even though he almost lost his life just now, he still had some reaction when he looked at Xia Ye.

——It seems that things will be very bad in the future.

"Then the agreement will be officially implemented from now on. However, in order to maintain the fairness of the agreement, I will add an additional clause."

Xia Ye stretched out her right hand expressionlessly, and three black threads instantly shot out from her fingertips.

After flying over the table, the threads accurately pierced into the back of Aarons' right hand, eventually leaving three strange marks on his skin.

"These are three contracts as insurance. If I am unwilling to follow your instructions, you can take the initiative to consume one of them and force me to carry out your orders. If you are unable to pay a certain month's salary, you can also consume one of them as a substitute."

"Wait, isn't this Ling..."

"I did refer to some of the information in your memory. Although I only glanced at it, I already know that it is an interesting work."

It seems that Xia Ye already knows everything that he watched when he was a otaku in his previous life... Aarons didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and in the end he could only roll his eyes in embarrassment.

——If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have watched so many things.

"But if you use up these three contracts within three years, I will consider unilaterally ending the agreement with you. At that time, you will have no right to bargain with me."

“You are putting pressure on me.”

Not only must he achieve his goal within three years, he must also carefully plan the various resources at his disposal… Otherwise, he would be captured by the terrifying demon lady in an unknown place, and then literally eaten up.

"Today is May 30th, so from now on, please pay me your monthly salary around the 30th of each month - one imperial gold coin and life force equivalent to the monthly order, and finally your memory."

"What a ruthless price... Miss Xia Ye, you are such a greedy devil."

“This word is a compliment in our place.”

……

——Although the final price was quite outrageous, Aarons actually achieved his goal.

Three years is not a long time, but it is enough for him to challenge his goal of regaining his own career in another world.

"Now that the agreement has been signed, Miss Xia Ye, can you now give us a detailed introduction to your basic situation and abilities?"

After taking Karin and Xia Ye back to the study, Aarons didn't plan to worry about anything anymore.

Since he had to pay a huge price, he should also get a corresponding reward. Xia Ye's existence itself was his greatest help, so he had to learn how to properly use this expensive talent as soon as possible.

"If you are asking about my strength, I plan to give you and the children a lesson about rank tomorrow before I explain my situation to you in detail."

"Well, I do need to catch up. And Karin also has to learn how to fight like you, right?"

"Wait a minute, Master. Although I didn't fully understand what you said downstairs just now, if I want to learn something from her, do I have to pay her something?"

Although the brown-skinned, red-haired wolf beauty cannot be said to be extremely intelligent, her ability to read people's expressions is quite good.

Although she didn't understand why Aarons not only didn't die at Xia Ye's hands, but also reached some kind of agreement with him, she keenly felt that no matter what she asked for, the account would probably be attributed to Aarons.

"Ms. Karin, we will both be the young master's subordinates from now on, so of course we have to help each other. I will help you gain new strength as quickly as possible, and you can also complete those fighting and killing tasks on my behalf."

"What? You don't plan to fight!? If the young master is in danger, you don't plan to protect him?"

After hearing Karin's reasonable question, Xia Ye was silent for a while, then sighed expressionlessly.

"I was only a staff officer in the demon army. Why do you have to send a smart guy like me to fight with others?"

"...Add money, huh? I knew it."

It seems that Xia Ye has already confirmed her basic position - and if she is asked to do extra work, she will have to be paid extra.
