Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Hoh----

The dark fog disappeared once again without a trace.

It was completely gone.

In the bar, everyone's appearance became normal once again, but they were still staring at Gu Qing Shan with a discontented expression.

The mature lady scoffed and asked: "Are you saying that you're actually worth a lot?"

Gu Qing Shan answered: "Of course, I'm the wealthiest person in the Club, the others have to rely on me so that they do not have to put their names on tabs everywhere"

The mature lady stepped forward and sat down in front of the bar counter, then stared excitedly at Gu Qing Shan: "In this world, there is no going back on any words that came out of one's mouth, did you know that?"

"Indeed, everyone would have to take full responsibility for anything they've said" Gu Qing Shan nodded and expressed his understanding.

The mature lady then laughed: "Young brother, since you claimed that you're worth a lot, that means you have a price----- I'd like to see just how much you're actually worth, perhaps you can give me an exact number"

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"This one has nothing but money, as long as you can give me a number, I'd be willing to pay it------- and you have no proper reason to reject me right now, even if it's only for a night, I'm going to buy you out!" the mature lady declared.

She stuck out her long green tongue and began licking her lips before laughing maniacally: 『 Someone will eventually pay enough if you keep on selling, and today is the time of your death, ahahahaha! 』

Gu Qing Shan simply smirked.

He took off a bag from his hip and openly placed it on the bar counter.

"Take a careful look, this is my wallet, as long as you can fill it with gold coins, I'll go with you"

Complete silence.

Everyone exchanged glances, even the mature lady appeared surprised.

He's actually not trying to give any excuses?

Does he not know how this will end up?

The mature lady observed the bag, then signaled to the bartender: "Check it"

The bartender carefully examined it and replied: "There are no issues"

The mature lady then turned to Gu Qing Shan and spoke with a specious smile: "Young brother, you're going to die"

Gu Qing Shan smiled in return: "In our business, the customer is God; as long as you pay enough, that is"

The mature lady purposely sighed in regret and spoke: "Young brother, money is no subject, the problem is that you're going to lose your life"

She took out a large number of gold coins and began pouring them into the bag.

Clink clink------

A clear chiming metallic noise was heard as the bag was gradually filled up.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, the bag was clearly beginning to fill up-------

But then it all suddenly disappeared!

The bag shrunk back down in an instant.

The mature lady was shocked.

"Bartender, didn't you say that there were no issues with the bag?" the mature lady asked.

The bartender picked the bag up and took a closer look, then carefully examined Gu Qing Shan before finally answering with a heavy tone: "There were indeed no issues with the bag, but this individual has most likely signed a money-lending contract with some entity. All the money he earns will be used to pay that entity back----- as long as he doesn't fully pay back his debt, this bag will not fill up"

The mature lady suddenly turned to Gu Qing Shan with an angered expression: "You dare mess with me!?"

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "I've already told you before, as long as you can fill this bag with money, I will go with you------ I've yet to tell you a single lie"

The mature lady was stunned.

Indeed, he had only said those words.

But who could tell beforehand that he owed money?

Gu Qing Shan's smile completely vanished as he spoke in a curt tone: "What? Don't have enough money? Don't go around acting rich when you're destitute"

The mature lady coldly scoffed with clear impatience: "Alright then, I'll help you pay back the rest of your debt, then I'll slowly think about how to torture you"

She took out more gold coins and started pouring them into the bag.

The bag swelled up, then quickly shrank back down again.

She then took out more gold coins and poured them into the bag.

The bag swelled back, then quickly shrank back down.

She took out even more gold coins, pouring all of them into the bag.

The bag swelled back, only to quickly shrink back down.

The mature lady angrily slammed the bar counter and shouted: "You degenerate, exactly how much money do you owe?"

Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "You'll naturally find out after you pay it all"

The mature lady glanced at the others.

Everyone understood and took out every last cent they had on their persons.

…But it was still useless.

Even after everyone had taken everything they had and put it into the bag, Gu Qing Shan's bag stayed completely flat.

Gu Qing Shan glanced towards the void of space and saw lines of bright red text floating there:

[You've completed today's repayment]

[You still owe the Book of the Sea 3000 years and 2 days' worth of income]

Tch-----

Who would have thought being in debt could also be used as a skill to scam people…

Gu Qing Shan thought to himself as he glanced towards the mature lady in front of him.

The mature lady's face was now dripping with cold sweat, which created a small puddle on the floor in front of her.

She had no choice but to follow the javelin that she had thrown, unable to interrupt this process.

---just now, both parties had already established a verbal agreement and began the transaction, so giving a reason like 'not having enough money' to gloss this over would only be considered as a breach of contract.

------in other words, she had no proper reason to escape.

Furthermore, it was none other than her who had initiated this transaction in the first place!

"Forgive me" the mature lady suddenly said.

"Huh?" Gu Qing Shan lazily looked at her and asked: "In this world, there is no going back on any words that come out of one's mouth, did you know that?"

The mature lady was stunned.

The bystanders also had nothing to say.

These were the words that the mature lady had told him earlier, which he had now just repeated exactly back to her.

In just a few minutes.

The attacker and defender had switched places.

The scales of death had tilted the other way.

In the bar, a layer of dark fog began to manifest.

"I beg you, please let me go" the mature lady hurriedly begged.

Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "This entire matter was due to your request, what would I be able to do even if you beg me?"

"You were the one who made the demand! As long as you demand something else, I'd have a way to avoid death for the time being!" the mature lady was now turning hysterical.

----the dark fog was silently creeping onto her body.

"Alright, then my demand is… tell me how to leave this place" Gu Qing Shan replied.
