Lin Yang's voice sounded behind her:
"Why don't you tell me what you can get in return?"
Lin Yang watched Zhu Suosuo's retreating figure with a smile.
"At our pawnshop, you can exchange anything."
"Those things you crave: affection, family, money, housing, and so on."
"Even the wish to become more beautiful can be fulfilled here."
He paused, then continued:
"Anything you want."
"Our pawnshop can satisfy all your needs."
"And all you need to give up are some things you don't care about."
Lin Yang's voice has a kind of magic, as if it can see into people's hearts.
Now that we know Zhu Suosuo's inner desires.
Lin Yang's words naturally struck a chord deep within her soul.
He understood that no one could escape the shackles of emotions and desires.
Even the highest deities are no exception.
Pawnshop No. 8 exploits these sources of desire.
To meet customer needs.
Sure enough, Zhu Suosuo stopped in her tracks.
A hint of hesitation flashed across her face.
But more than anything, there is anticipation and longing.
She sat down again, her hands clasped tightly together.
With a slightly trembling voice, she asked, "Can I really exchange anything?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course."
He looked into Zhu Suosuo's eyes and said in a voice as demonic as a whisper:
"So, customer, what do you want?"
Zhu Suosuo took a deep breath, as if gathering her courage.
She said, word by word:
"I want a home."
"I want someone to care about me and love me."
"I want more money, enough money."
"To enable me to live the life I want."
Zhu Suosuo's childhood experiences shaped her inner world.
She longed for a home of her own.
In addition, Zhu Suosuo also has high hopes for family and romantic relationships.
As for money, Zhu Suosuo's desire for it was almost obsessive.
She knew that in this materialistic society...
Money is not everything.
But you can't do without money.
Only when you have enough money.
Only then can she escape her current predicament and live the life she wants.
Lin Yang looked at Zhu Suosuo's longing eyes.
He smiled slightly and said softly, "I can grant you all of these."
As he spoke, a golden abacus appeared out of thin air in Lin Yang's hand.
The abacus was antique in appearance, emitting a faint golden light, and looked like an extraordinary item.
Lin Yang did it in front of Zhu Suosuo.
He gently began to manipulate the abacus.
After finishing the calculation, Lin Yang looked up at Zhu Suosuo and said:
You have a total lifespan of fifty years.
"To exchange for what you want, you need to pawn thirty years of your life as a price."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Suosuo was stunned.
Thirty years of lifespan?
Does that mean she only has twenty years left to live?
This is for someone who is only in their early twenties.
For young people in their prime.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow.
Zhu Suosuo choked up and said:
"Isn't there any other way?"
Lin Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently at Zhu Suosuo.
His tone carried a hint of seduction:
"Of course, you have other options besides lifespan."
Lin Yang paused slightly and said, "You can pawn your soul."
Zhu Suosuo's pupils dilated instantly, and her voice trembled slightly: "Spirit, soul?"
She swallowed hard and asked with difficulty:
"If I pawned my soul."
"Then, what will happen to me?"
Lin Yang smiled calmly and explained:
"After you've enjoyed everything you wanted."
“If you die naturally, your soul will belong to our Pawnshop No. 8.”
He shrugged and said in a seemingly relaxed manner:
"Actually, you can think about it carefully."
Why should one care about what happens after death?
"This deal is a great deal for you."
Zhu Suosuo fell silent.
My heart was filled with struggle.
On one side was everything she had ever dreamed of; on the other was her soul.
How should she choose?
Lin Yang looked at Zhu Suosuo's conflicted expression.
He coughed lightly, breaking the silence:
"Since you are my first customer."
"I can offer you a compromise."
Zhu Suosuo suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Yang.
Lin Yang continued, "That's the person who pawned you."
"You can get anything you want if you're willing to pawn your belongings."
"Of course, this does not mean you will lose your freedom or your life."
"However, your body and soul will belong to our Pawnshop No. 8."
"You will work for us?"
"Actually, our No. 8 Pawnshop has been looking for someone like you."
Lin Yang's voice suddenly softened.
He leaned forward slightly, looking directly at Zhu Suosuo, and continued:
"I can hire you as an employee of our Pawnshop No. 8."
"Your job is to be responsible."
"Attracting business to our store and serving customers."
He paused here.
Give Zhu Suosuo some time to think.
Then he continued:
"Of course, as an employee of our No. 8 Pawnshop."
"Your compensation will be very generous."
"A monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, plus a car and a house."
"There are also all sorts of benefits and perks."
"Holidays off are still a must, and year-end bonuses are also essential."
