Lu Chengming, a level 61 priest, nervously cast a healing spell on Lin Mengqian.
Lin Mengqian recovered from her injuries in no time and gradually regained consciousness.
She rubbed her temples, looking dazed.
She only realized what was happening when she saw the people around her.
"I..."
"I lost?"
Lu Chengming shook his head helplessly and did not answer.
Zhu Debiao, with a grin on his face, immediately began to add insult to injury.
"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war; there's no need to take them too seriously."
"After all, it's not shameful to lose to a Contract Master with SP-level talent in terms of strength."
Fang Xian felt ashamed; Zhu Debiao was the type to rub salt into wounds.
As expected, Lin Mengqian's eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, as if she wanted to devour Fang Xian whole.
"How—how did you do that?"
Lin Mengqian couldn't understand how she had lost to Fang Xian in a physical confrontation.
It's important to know that her stat allocation prioritizes "Health" with "Strength" and "Defense" as secondary stats, making her known as having the highest health and defense among all classes.
The "Contract Master" usually allocates points primarily to "Spirit," with "Intelligence" and "Agility" as secondary stats, and there are absolutely no points allocated to "Strength."
But she didn't know that Fang Xian had a "God-level Multiplier Return System" with unlimited possibilities, so there was no need to worry about the points he allocated.
When Fang Xian proposed the bet to Lin Mengqian, he had already silently added all 40 free attribute points to "Strength".
His current "strength" is: 60
Fang Xian knew that Lin Mengqian was a warrior, so her skill point allocation would definitely be the most standard warrior skill point allocation.
Each time an Awakened One levels up, they gain 6 free attribute points. Lin Mengqian will definitely allocate 4 points to "Life", and 1 point each to "Strength" and "Defense".
With the 1 point bonus to all attributes gained per level, we can guess Lin Mengqian's attribute panel at level 7:
"Life" is 30, "Strength" and "Defense" are both 22.
Given that he, as an SP, only received 5 bottles of "Attribute Enhancement Agents," Lin Mengqian, as an SSS-level talent warrior, would certainly not have more than 5 bottles of "Attribute Enhancement Agents," most likely between 1 and 2 bottles.
One bottle of "Attribute Enhancer" can grant 1 free attribute point, which means that Lin Mengqian will gain an extra 1 to 2 attribute points.
Judging from Lin Mengqian's attire, she was clearly not wearing any equipment, so there was no equipment bonus for her.
Therefore, 60 points of "strength" is enough to crush Lin Mengqian.
The remaining 20 free attribute points are reserved for unforeseen circumstances.
Fang Xian looked at Lin Mengqian with arrogance and spoke jokingly.
"Practice makes perfect."
"you!"
Lin Mengqian had never suffered such humiliation. She stood up angrily, intending to attack Fang Xian again.
Lu Chengming held Lin Mengqian's hand and shook his head at her.
Lin Mengqian lowered her arm and glared at Fang Xian.
Lu Chengming chuckled and bowed to Zhu Debiao and Fang Xian.
"Being able to experience Fang Xian's strength firsthand has been incredibly beneficial for us."
"We won't bother you any longer, classmate Fang Xian. We'll head back now."
After Lu Chengming finished speaking, he took Lin Mengqian's hand and walked out.
"etc."
Fang Xian immediately spoke up, stopping them from leaving.
"Principal Lu, have you forgotten the bet between me and Lin Mengqian?"
Upon hearing this, both Lu Chengming and Lin Mengqian trembled.
Lu Chengming stopped and looked at Zhu Debiao with an awkward smile, "Old Zhu, do you think this is appropriate?"
Zhu Debiao cursed Lu Chengming inwardly, for always trying to pin the blame on him.
Zhu Debiao was naturally delighted to turn an SSS-level talent warrior into Fang Xian's contract partner.
However, this also exposes him to enormous risks.
If Fang Xian grows up, then things will be alright.
If Fang Xian becomes obsessed with women and neglects his career, it will be tantamount to ruining Lin Mengqian's life.
He cannot bear this responsibility.
"It's fine if Lin doesn't become Fang Xian's contract partner, but you'll have to provide corresponding resources as compensation."
This was the best solution Zhu Debiao could think of: to exchange Lin Mengqian for more resources.
Fang Xian naturally understood Zhu Debiao and Lu Chengming's little scheme, but he was going to disappoint everyone.
His voice was firm and resolute.
"The bet remains unchanged, so Lin Mengqian must become my contract partner."
Lu Chengming, Zhu Debiao, and Lin Mengqian all frowned slightly as they looked at Fang Xian.
Zhu Debiao came to Fang Xian's side and whispered something in his ear.
"Fang Xian, let's just forget about it. We can just exchange Lin Mengqian for some resources..."
Fang Xian waved his hand, interrupting Zhu Debiao's attempt to dissuade him.
"Thank you for your concern, Principal Zhu, but I still have to honor our bet."
"this..."
Seeing Fang Xian's resolute expression, Zhu Debiao was at a loss for what to do.
Lu Chengming hesitated for a moment, then decided to show some sincerity.
"Fang Xian, how about this? I'm willing to offer..."
"I'm sorry, I don't want it."
Fang Xian interrupted Lu Chengming directly and looked at Lin Mengqian.
"Lin Mengqian, you have to accept the consequences of your bet. Can't you handle losing?"
"If you say yes, then I'll consider the bet void. I don't care about compensation, and you can leave now."
Lin Mengqian was already on the verge of exploding, and she rushed forward angrily.
"Teacher, let's not beg him anymore."
"I, Lin Mengqian, keep my word and will never go back on my word."
Lu Cheng frowned as he looked at Lin Mengqian. Ming hesitated, then finally let out a sigh.
"very good."
Fang Xian felt smug; Lin Mengqian was still the easiest to trick.
"Then let's sign the contract."
"Who's afraid of who!"
Lin Mengqian stepped forward angrily, looking ready to fight.
Lu Chengming suddenly thought of a key question and blurted it out.
"Wait a minute, Fang Xian, you can form a contract with a second partner right now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Debiao suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Fang Xian with a puzzled expression.
Fang Xian revealed a confident smile and shifted the blame to SP Talent.
"I have the SP talent, so of course I can."
Zhu Debiao and Lu Chengxu gasped in shock. As expected of SP talent, it was terrifying.
"Then the only one that can be signed is an equal contract."
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Lu Chengming could only minimize the harm.
"OK."
Fang Xian didn't refuse, since on the surface it was an "equal contract," but in the end it would all become a "human-master contract."
A black magic circle appeared beneath his feet, connecting to Lin Mengqian's feet and forming another black magic circle.
Between the two, the words "equality" appeared in large letters.
Lu Chengming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was an equal contract.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Debiao remembered to draw the curtains to avoid being seen.
Lin Mengqian's expression was resolute as she glared at Fang Xian.
Fang Xian sneered, eager to see if Lin Mengqian would turn into a docile kitten after becoming a contract partner.
"contract."
Lin Mengqian spoke calmly.
"agree."
The black magic circle linking the two people shone brightly, merging into a large black magic circle.
A moment later, Fang Xian and Lin Mengqian both felt the "power of the contract," and the contract was successful.
The light dimmed, and the black magic circle disappeared.
[Contract successful. Current contract partner: 2/2.]
At this moment, Lin Mengqian lowered her head and slowly approached Fang Xian.
He was only three steps away from Fang Xian.
She suddenly threw herself into Fang Xian's arms with joy, looking at him with eyes full of love.
"Master...Master."
