Chapter 1215 Life Remaining
Chapter 1215 Life Remaining
Hearing Hershacanus' voice, Lin Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Oakfest he knew.
The second pillar of the abyss, one of the oldest pillar-level demons.
Among the eight pillars of the Abyss, its strength is also the most unfathomable.
But why could this guy appear in the crack of the abyss?
And Lin Yu did feel it...
[Guest Invitation] does work on this guy.
But do you know Him?
Why would this guy come up to me on his own initiative?
However, since the two pillar-level demons have already started interacting with each other in a friendly manner, Lin Yu simply waits and sees what happens.
In the crack of the abyss, the faint blue light representing Oakfirst lit up.
"Hershacanus, the premise of a contract is mutual consent. Before the deal is concluded, anyone has a chance. You and he are still in the stage of negotiating the remuneration. Why can't I fight for it fairly?"
"I'm also good at killing people."
Oakfest said seriously.
Hershacanus' voice was tinged with anger. "Really? You cunning fellow, are you really going to give your all just for a mere twenty-five years of life?"
"Sometimes, transactions can yield other benefits besides compensation. I'm different from you, a rock-head soaked in lava. For me, the most important thing about this deal is that it represents a good start. Whether this friend eventually becomes the new Third Pillar or becomes His trusted advisor after the Third Pillar returns, today's cooperation is an investment in my future."
Oakfest said elegantly.
Hershacanus became even more furious: "What happened to you, lava and rock?!"
"Besides, no matter how high-sounding your words are, you've only been collecting for 25 years, haven't you? That's only five years less than mine, you pretending to be a bull demon! Do you think I can't collect less?!"
"Listen up, boy! I, Helshacanus, the Ninth Pillar, the Lord of Lava, only want twenty years from you!"
Hershacanus said with great momentum.
But Oakfirst immediately followed up with a light and leisurely remark.
"Then I'll be eighteen years."
"Still curly? And how come you only reduced it by two years? Do you have the guts? I'll give you fifteen years!"
"Fourteen years."
"You can't lose weight anymore, stingy old thing, you've been losing weight year after year, right? Twelve years!"
"Hmph... ten years and six months."
"Even the Bull Demon's remaining pieces have been revealed. You're such a disgrace! I'm ashamed to be in the same Pillar-level demon class as you—seven years! Are you still coming?! I'll keep you company until the end!"
Hershacanus said angrily.
At this moment, Oakfest suddenly laughed.
"Inheritor of the Third Pillar—I've helped you lower the price."
When Helshakanus heard what Oakfirst said, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then he spoke in extreme anger like a raging volcano.
"Asshole, not only are you making fun of me, but you're also trying to use me as a free favor?!"
"Okefirst, do you want to start a war?!"
"Haha, absolutely not. Ninth Pillar, I just think... thirty years is too expensive to kill two humans," Oakfirst said. "Besides, I didn't mean to tease you. If you had agreed to ten years and six months earlier, I would have completed this deal... That's definitely my bottom line."
"After all, when you move across worlds, there will always be losses."
Oakfest said calmly.
Hershacanus said unhappily, "Hmph... Anyway, since you've given up, get out!"
"Don't worry, I don't plan to stay in this rift for long... But before I leave, inheritor of the third pillar, I have something to give you."
As Oakfirst spoke, a ball of golden light emerged from the crack and fell into Lin Yu's hands.
"This is?"
Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"The 'Scale of Destiny' used to measure lifespan should be recorded by the 'Will' within you, allowing you to use it. I won't elaborate on this."
"Anyway... next time you come to our world and have the chance to travel to the abyss, this gift can serve as a beacon for you to find me."
"Goodbye, my friend."
Oakfirest said this, and then the breath slowly dissipated.
Feeling that there was indeed an extra [prop] in his [prop space], Lin Yu looked at Oakfirst who said goodbye in a hurry and disappeared without even waiting for his response. He felt like a distant relative or elder who had stuffed a red envelope and ran away.
[Scales of Destiny: A tool that measures the time until death and the remaining "lifespan." Note: This tool does not calculate accidents; the result is the current theoretical maximum "lifespan." The result may change dynamically, so please be careful.]
[Note: Although the default appearance looks like a scale, the appearance and shape can be changed as desired.]
Lin Yu took out the golden scale from his hand and indeed felt that this thing could change according to his wishes.
The material used to create this [prop] seems to be some kind of magical substance that can be adjusted according to thoughts.
While Lin Yu was adjusting the appearance of the [Scale of Destiny], he also started communicating with Hershacanus.
"So... since the seven years mentioned by the respected Ninth Pillar, Lord Magma, was partly due to a conflict with the Second Pillar, and now that the Second Pillar is gone, will you still maintain the remuneration at 'seven years'?"
Lin Yu communicated with Hershacanus.
Hershacanus was a little annoyed: "What do you mean? Do you think I will regret it?!"
"Regardless of whether it's a feud with Oakfirst or not, I've been saying this for seven years, and that's seven years!"
Lin Yu nodded: "Very good, then it's a deal."
"However, I'm not sure if I have seven years left to live."
He actually doesn't care much about his "lifespan".
Even if it takes thirty years, Lin Yu doesn't mind.
After all, as a 'player' of the 'death game', how long one can survive is a question.
In the most optimistic scenario, I will also face the ultimate test in five years.
Therefore, these lifespans are all imaginary numbers in Lin Yu's view.
but……
It is precisely because he is a "player" that Lin Yu is not sure whether his balance is sufficient.
After all, he was already a "dead man" in theory.
The rewards in the "Death Game" are given out every seven days, which is very stingy.
What if the ninth pillar checks his balance and finds that he only has seven days left, and the payment fails?
Perhaps this is also the reason why the second pillar gave himself a [Scale of Destiny].
"Anyway, let me check my balance first."
Lin Yu said this, and then picked up the [Scale of Destiny] that had been reshaped.
At this moment, it has turned into a detector with an electronic screen.
Lin Yu pressed the button on it, and then he felt this thing scanning his whole body and soul.
then……
The remaining time of Lin Yu’s life appeared on it.
Lin Yu took a look and was a little stunned.
“Is this a display bug?”
The balance above is shown as...
"109579".
The unit is...
day.
The remaining time left for his life is 109,579 days.
