Chapter 186 The Art of Contracts: Realizing in hindsight that the other party was not in control of

The higher you go in the Thirty-Six Days, the higher the density of the laws and the slower the flow of spacetime.

The peach trees in Heaven can only absorb enough laws to grow without "harming the environment" if they are positioned at the 32nd position.

If he were planted in the human world, it would most likely lead to vast stretches of barren land.

Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang Temple is blessed by the Earth Book and suppressed by a being of the level of a demon ancestor, which ensures that innate spiritual roots like the Ginseng Fruit Tree can grow freely.

Lin Linhou's current small herb garden doesn't need to worry about these things. All the spiritual herbs in it are treated equally, regardless of whether the spiritual energy is abundant or not, or whether they require any special growing conditions.

Even with a portable herb garden that has a flow rate ten thousand times faster, it's still difficult to collect 129 Three-Element Ginseng Fruits.

It took as long as 1671 years, which is quite a long time.

Moreover, the mother peach tree is not a reproductive machine. After each fruiting period, it needs to be nurtured for a long time, which is almost a full cycle.

Rounding up, that means it would take nearly two thousand years for it to produce enough fruit for Lin Linhou to become a saint.

That is, to cultivate to the level of a god in the sequence of creator gods in this world.

"Two thousand years...tsk, that's a long time indeed."

Lin Linhou sighed, for at least for a young man like him who had only lived for a little over twenty years in total across two lifetimes, two thousand years was truly an unattainable number.

Afterwards, Lin Linhou asked Meng Qing to plant all the herb seeds and peach trees in the small herb garden.

"By the way, how many acres is this little peach orchard? Can it all be planted with so many seeds?"

Lin Linhou wondered why he hadn't seen any information about the area.

[Oh, in terms of area, it's about twice the size of Earth, so it's enough.]

Lin Linhou: ...

(ー`′ー)……

?_? ……

o_O?

"An area more than two Earths in size! A small medicine garden!?"

Lin Linhou asked if there was something wrong with the small character.

You call a medicinal garden that's twice the size of Earth a small medicinal garden?

How big would that medicinal herb garden be?

[Don't look so surprised, okay? The area of ​​two Earths is quite small. If you encounter some special, super-large medicinal herbs, you might not be able to grow them at all.]

Si Mengqing said that, for example, there is a kind of elixir called the Tree of Life, which grows and its root system covers the volume of an entire planet.

Once mature, they sprout from different locations on the planet's surface, growing into towering branches thousands of kilometers high and leaves that spread out thousands of meters wide.

There is another type of fiery lotus vine that is even more outrageous. It needs to grow inside a star, and after it matures, it devours and replaces the star itself, blooming into a fiery lotus flower.

The lotus seedpod at the center of the lotus flower contains lotus seeds, each about the size of Jupiter.

In addition, there are many more herbs, some of which are planetary or stellar in size.

[Now, Linhou, do you still think our little herb garden is big?]

Lin Linhou: ⊙_⊙……

Well, the world is really big, and I've been too naive.

A single lotus seed can be as large as a fiery lotus flower, the size of Jupiter. Is this thing really edible?

Needless to say, the results will be absolutely amazing.

"Then you can manage the herb garden, Mengqing. Once the herbs are ripe, just keep an eye on refining some pills that we might need and record them on the exchange platform."

[Fine, fine, fine, humph, I knew you were going to shirk your responsibilities again.]

Mengqing devoted some of her energy to managing the medicinal herb garden.

Then Lin Linhou turned his attention to the fourth reward, except that it was purple.

[Contractual Techniques]

[Contract Technique: You can enter into a contract with a target, or forcibly enter into a contract by paying a certain price. Contracts are divided into equal contracts and master-servant contracts.]

[The Contract Spell takes full effect. If it conflicts with the target's existing contract, it will directly override the original contract. The content of the contract can be drafted by the user.]

[Note: Forcibly signing or forcibly terminating a contract may result in varying degrees of backlash damage depending on the specific circumstances. Please use these two functions with caution.]

After carefully reading the text description, Lin Linhou, having gained experience from his previous mastery of language, understood that this was another special case where a well-executed purple skill could be comparable to a gold reward.

The contract terms can be drafted by the individual, and crucially, it can be enforced.

These two sentences alone are already incredibly impressive.

However, right now, he doesn't seem to have any need to use this ability.

[You could use this ability to break the contract linking the beauty to the Gods' Mental Hospital.]

Meng Qing spoke up from the side, reminding everyone that although Hongyan is now our little dragon, don't forget that there are still two contract chains inside her body.

Due to the contract with the Gods Mental Hospital, her life and death power, as well as ultimate control, are actually still in Lin Qiye's hands.

Although this point can be ignored under normal circumstances.

Moreover, Lin Qiye and Lin Linhou didn't have much of a way to deal with this before. If they forcibly destroyed or terminated the contract between the mental hospital and Hongyan, she would simply die.

However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances from arising, it's best to eliminate this potential concern.

"Oh, right, you've reminded me. This is indeed a problem that needs to be solved."

How can my wife's life be in the hands of someone else, not even my best friend?

Furthermore, Lin Qiye's situation also indicates that his cheat code, the Gods Mental Hospital, could potentially be taken away by someone else.

Take, for example, that little girl named Jinian, the "former dean".

If one day Lin Qiye accidentally loses control of the Gods Mental Hospital, or if the Gods Mental Hospital changes hands, wouldn't Hongyan be in great danger?

However, upon thinking of this, Lin Linhou frowned slightly, because he seemed to have overlooked another very important issue all along.

I didn't remember it until now.

So, does the woman really like him?

Or is it simply due to the contractual influence of clauses such as "loyalty," "submission," "not disobeying orders," "serving," and "protecting" within the two contracts?

Lin Linhou had never paid attention to this before, or rather, he had always been very carefree and had never thought about such things.

In the long-term daily interactions at home, the family members have habitually treated each other as adorable pets, and have gradually developed each other into the wives they are today.

It all seemed to happen so naturally.

But what if, like some characters in adult games, this is the only path she can ever take?

"Mengqing, tell me, is it possible that Hongyan was simply someone who had no other choice all along?"

[...]

[╮(╯_╰)╭]

[Given your personality, it's truly remarkable that you could consider this point.]

However, she was hesitant to give the other party a direct and accurate answer to this question.

[Although it may be a bit late, if you really want to know the answer to this question, Linhou, you should ask Hongyan herself, after all the contracts on her have been dissolved.]

[As for what the past and future hold, giving away spoilers directly is not a good habit.]

"Well, I will."
