Chapter 72: Resolution Transfer
Editor: TheSloth
Luo Qiu was sizing up the new customer.
He seemed to be hurt seriously. After all, he had spitted out a lot of blood, perhaps even rupturing his internal organs.
"Take a seat."
He treated the customer with the basic courtesy.
Actually, many of the mysterious points of the club could be skipped when meeting new customers as it would be more convincing to do one action, rather than speaking a thousand sentences.
Mo Xiaofei’s body started to leave the floor. A wonderful power lifted him up and sent him to the seat.
A shocked look could be seen on Mo Xiaofei’s face.
Luo Qiu had gotten used to the clown face. At present, he sat opposite to Mo Xiaofei, "Customer, you said you want to obtain power, right?"
"You…" Mo Xiaofei regained some clarity. He wondered if it was due to the place here, he felt the pain to be relieved by a little. At the same time, he took a look at the man with the clown mask, then move his attention to the beautiful servant girl beside him. "Who are you guys… immortals… or demons?"
"We’re merely businessmen," Luo Qiu said indifferently. "Theoretically we can sell anything you want, on the condition that you can afford it."
Mo Xiaofei breathing turned rapid. "You can sell me anything… There are no free lunches in this world. You may want something more besides money, right? My life? Or my soul?"
‘Why… A kid at his age seems to be easier to communicate with…’
Luo Qiu said briskly, "Those can be considered as items to be traded. Of course as a human, you can choose other objects to make the deal."
"That might be something like relationship, love, happiness or some part of my body… In brief, what I have, whether invisible or substantial objects, it won’t be money, right?"
The club leader was astonished by this kid’s words again. Perhaps a child at his age might find it easier to accept weird events.
No guidance was needed from the boss, Mo Xiaofei said immediately, "I’ll exchange it with my soul! As long as you can provide me a strong power!"
Luo Qiu fell silent for a minute, then asked, "There are many kinds of strong powers. Which one would you like to choose? Money, authority, or pure physical power? There are all regarded as strong powers."
Mo Xiaofei’s expression became intense. "I’d like to own the super power that you used to move me just now! It should be something like telekinesis, able to move objects without touching them! But don’t lie to me, don’t show some small tricks like moving soda cans to deceive me!"
Luo Qiu said stonily, "Customer, if you want to exchange it for your soul, it’ll have a time limit."
"In any case, you only want my soul! And I’m willing to offer it but you have to provide me the best one!"
Watching Mo Xiaofei’s look filled with rage, Luo Qiu nodded, "I see, the quality of your soul is obviously not worth only a soda can. Well, we can sign the contract now."
This was probably the fastest transaction Luo Qiu ever finished… Because of Mo Xiaofei’s frankness.
Mo Xiaofei looked at the goatskin roll unfolded in front of him, gritting his teeth… ‘After signing, I’ll own a strong power!’
‘Dad, I know you want me to be a strong man that can stand upright!’
‘Now, it’s my turn to be the man you’re proud of… your hero!’
…
…
"Is it… done?"
Mo Xiaofei gazed at both his hands in amazement, touching his body. He felt he was at an unprecedented top form. In a flash, he went back to the former alley.
Mo Xiaofei suddenly shook his fist and the garbage bin in the back alley flew out the next second, heading straight towards the dead end.
Boom!!
The whole iron garbage bin transformed instantly, becoming scrap iron. Finally, it left a huge destructive trace leaving on the wall.
Mo Xiaofei looked at his palms, with an overjoyed expression while mumbling, "I have got power… I’ve got power! Brother Quan… If you dare hurt my family…"
With a deep breath and waving his hand, he turned around and left.
After he left, the club’s boss came to this alley along with the servant girl, watching Mo Xiaofei’s back.
"It looks as if some new souls will enter the account soon," You Ye said softly near Luo Qiu.
But Luo Qiu muttered, "I developed his brain to give him that ability, which can trigger a human’s latent talent… human beings will certainly evolve though this way some day."
Luo Qiu didn’t answer her, instead merely moved his mind to give rise to a thought, which made the dustbin returned to its original shape, although many folds could still be seen on its surface.
The garbage had also been returned back into the bin. Even the fallen gravel from the damage on the wall regained as its former appearance as well.
This was Luo Qiu’s caring for public property.
After everything had been restored, Luo Qiu touched the wall. This time, he did not speak with You Ye.
He was thinking. It wasn’t him that develop Mo Xiaofei’s brain or the body swap of Tu Jiaya and her sister. Furthermore, turning the bone marrow to be suitable for Jiang Chu’s son which hadn’t matched at beginning, was not due to him either.
Yet at the same time, it could be said to be because of him.
One should say those were all the abilities from the club or more likely due to that weird altar. He was just a carrier of this ability. When buyers signed a contract with the seller, the club would realized the buyer's’ requirements through Luo Qiu.
However, the way to achieve it was not something that could be determined by him at the current stage.
Such as developing Mo Xiaofei’s brain, having him possess some super power that was similar to telekinesis. The price was the excessive consumption of his health, and reduction of his lifespan---the more he used this ability and at a deeper level, the more harmful it will be to his own body.
He used his soul as a transaction fee only to exchange it for an opportunity to develop his brain---As for the side effects due to ceaseless usage, it was not included in the transaction.
The sentence ‘It looks as if some new souls will enter the account soon’’ meant just that.
This was not the only way to give Mo Xiaofei the telekinesis ability but they chose this simple and relatively crude method to achieve it… Part of the reason was because Mo Xiaofei was ignorant about these consequences and merely longed for the super power…
Yet, this was probably the resolution transferred by the club to this new leader.
…

‘We’re not charity organization! Hum!!!’
To rid himself of the heavy atmosphere, Boss Luo imagined those words in a charming tsundere Lolita’s tone.
Chapter 73: If You Like Him, Say It Out Loud!
Editor: TheSloth
‘He came today?’
Luo Dance gazed at Luo Qiu, who was sitting there quietly as usual. She appeared to be absent of mind, counting the remaining lifespan of the uncle and aunt silently.
The aunt had been living for dozens of years. She was not educated but had more worldly wisdom than the young ones. She pulled Luo Dance aside.
The beauty of the bun house from dozen of years ago was speaking to the current beauty of the bun house while holding her hand.
“Dance, tell me the truth, do you have a crush on little Luo Qiu?”
The aunt was waiting to see the shyness of a young girl. Nevertheless, she couldn’t have known that the young girl was actually a butterfly monster that had just achieved eclosion. This meant she didn’t know what ‘have a crush on’ meant.
“Why should I have a crush on him?” Luo Dance blinked her eyes.
Disbelief could be seen on the aunt’s face. She was very confident in her numerous years of experience. “No? Then why did you peek at him the whole morning?”
Luo Dance didn’t know what to say, neither did she know how to handle the situation. She had no choice but to shake her head, “Aunt, it’s not like that.”
The aunt blinked her cloudy eyes, as if she had seen through everything. She felt this girl was pitiful. She had lost her memory and didn’t even know her origins. Therefore, she might have no idea about what kind of person she liked. Hence, the aunt said, “Young one, you have been sneaking glances at him all day. This isn’t false, right?”
‘That’s because I don’t know what the boss of that weird club will do.’
However, Luo Dance still nodded.
The aunt added, “Then, when your gaze meet his, do you feel nervous?”
Luo Dance searched through her thoughts for a while before nodding subconsciously. She felt a different feeling when their gazes meet each other… It was like the feeling she felt when she was very young and saw the huge monsters passing by her. However, it was slightly different… this feeling was scarier.
“Are there butterflies in your stomach?” The aunt asked her step by step.
Luo Dance considered for a while before nodding.
“And you will be afraid that little Luo Qiu’s will notice your glances! Right?” The aunt inquired with a smile.
As to this part, Luo Dance nodded seriously.
The aunt then patted Luo Dance’s hand before stating the conclusion. “That’s it! That means you like him!”
“…I like him??”
The aunt asked slowly, “Another question, did you feel happy when you brought back several boxes of milk last time?”
Luo Dance nodded, she was definitely happy because she didn’t have to starve.
“You said the milk was from little Luo Qiu, right?”
She nodded.
“So you’re actually happy right?” The aunt said.
Luo Dance felt something wasn’t right. Those were paid by Huang Chengyin, it was just that before they left, Luo Qiu had said ‘If it’s not enough, take more’. This was the reason she dared to accept more. Therefore to a certain extent, the milk was gifted by Luo Qiu… The young butterfly monster felt that there was some confusion regarding this issue.
Anyway, she was happy in the end. So she nodded again.
The aunt didn’t intend to stop her questions, “Do you hope that he will give something else to you?”
With this, a look of expectancy appeared on the young monster’s face… she did look forward to getting more milk and honey.
“Do you think he’s special, totally different from others?”
Luo Dance admitted this issue rather quickly.
“That’s it!” The aunt smiled happily. “You always peek at him, feeling afraid if he found out. And butterflies in your stomach, while thinking he’s the most special person, and sometimes want to receive gifts from him! Those all mean you like him!”
Luo Dance eyes opened wide. “I, I like him?”
The aunt said slightly, “Girl, don’t be shy. I have gone through that period too! When I was young, I had the same feelings you had when I was with Old Chen. You might not want to admit it but that’s definitely what you feel!”
Luo Dance wanted to say something else but the aunt wished for the pure girl to be happy, so she gave her some sincere words and earnest wishes. “Girl, what do you think of me? Do you trust me?”
Luo Dance nodded.
The aunt consoled her, “Believe me, you can’t go wrong! You definitely like him! I’ve lived all my life, it’s easy to see through young people’s emotions.”
Luo Dance shook her head. Like forest monsters, the older they were, the more intelligent they were. For instance, the grandfather tree monster, who had died of environment pollution, was a respectful senior. He said, ‘Having an aged senior in the family is like having a treasure. If you’re confused, it’s better to listen to the seniors. Because they’re more experienced and knowledgeable than those ignorant little guys.’
Humans… were probably the same.
The little monster looked through the window, watching at the quiet and lonely person. ‘Is this… the ‘like’ that humans always mentioned?’
“Aunt, What should I do?”
“Don’t worry! I’ll help you!”
The aunt, with smooth movements, took out a steaming basket filled with dim sum from the steamer outside the door and passed it to Luo Dance, “First, you should have more contact with each other! It used to be that a boy should chase after a girl; however, times have changed. a girl can act more daringly and pursue a boy!”
Luo Dance looked at the basket and was at a loss of what to do. At that moment, the aunt pushed her back. “Go to him! Be brave! If you like him, speak it out loud! Have him know you are fond of him! Express your feelings with actions! Or even say it out!”
‘Is that really true? But the grandpa tree monster said some similar words as well.’
Monsters are monsters. They should adore nature, and stay true to their heart. If you were keen on him, tell him directly. Your butterfly tribe is almost extinct, so it would be better to reproduce quickly…
…
…
Luo Qiu was counting down the time.
He merely intended to be with Old Chen during his final moments.
As he was turning the New Testament in his hand, Luo Dance suddenly rush towards him in a fluster. Luo Qiu raised his head and found that the young butterfly monster was holding a steaming basket while standing in front of him. It seemed she was at a loss of what to do next.
“Something the matter?”
Luo Dance glanced back at the aunt whom at hidden herself to spy on them. All she could do was placing the steaming basket in front of him. “For, for you.”
“I didn’t order this.” Luo Qiu gave a start.
Looking at her uncomfortable behaviour, Luo Qiu naturally discovered the hiding aunt. Before he realized what happened, the butterfly monster took on the attitude of a dying warrior and shouted at him.
“I…I like you!!”
The event was probably too much for Luo Qiu’s psychological endurance to handle. In that moment of inattentiveness, the New Testament in his hand fell to the floor.
Poof…
At the same time, the whole dining room was shocked. The aunt standing outside opened her mouth wide, with a miserable look on her face. She felt too embarrassed to watch any more.
