Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!

"This experience is quite rare, so I took a year of your life at the beginning of the transaction," Wang Hao said. "Along with this answer, it also counts as part of the initial charge."

Fu Liaoyi was stunned once again.

After a long, long time, he nodded somewhat bewilderedly, "What should I do?"

Wang Hao smiled. "It depends on your personal goal. If you want to save Qiqi alone, or find a cute girlfriend to spend your life with, the problem isn't big. The remaining years of your life are enough to support the cost required for this desire. After all, the world has no shortage of pretty girls."

Fu Liaoyi shook his head; he hadn't become that lascivious to such a degree, and he hadn't contacted Qiqi in the past few days.

There wasn't much emotion between them.

As for the other girls, there was no need to spend years of his life to purchase one here.

"If you want to change the entire way the world operates...that'll be difficult," Wang Hao continued. "The world is too large, and you are not the center of it. Even if your lifespan were a hundred million years, it could not buy that desire."

"It's up to you to make the final choice."

"Whether to change one person or the entire world."

Fu Liaoyi hesitated, rubbing his hands together, breaking out in a cold sweat all over.

He looked very nervous; this matter related to the second half of his life and would inevitably require a significant cost.

He had to choose carefully.

Finally, he spoke, "I want to change more... please bestow upon me greater wisdom."

"If I have enough wisdom, I can solve these troubles in my own way."

"Wise choice."

Wang Hao sighed, thinking of Lu Wenhao, who had taken the 'Death Note.'

Destiny, always so remarkable.

Like small streams that join into rivers and rush toward the ocean.

Two seemingly intriguing guests had chosen the same path.

Due to differences in personal abilities, the ways their desires manifested also slightly differed.

He said softly, "But I must inform you in advance, even with higher wisdom, trying to change the world remains difficult, even a bit delusional."

"I've made my decision!"

…

…

Time was paused.

"Xiao Ai, come up with a feasible plan!"

Xiao Ai fell silent for a long while. "Captain, if you don't want to cheat, there's not much available at a low price this time."

"A brain chip technology that can greatly enhance intelligence, raising it to beyond human standards, would interfere with the collection of Space-Time Tidal Energy due to its butterfly effect, and its translated price is over a hundred million."

"No need to go beyond human standards, Big Sister, just make him a bit smarter than the average person."

Xiao Ai, called 'Big Sister', felt a momentary system glitch, her voice trembling a bit, "As for the Idealism side, there are indeed some items that can enhance intelligence."

"Life Spring, Life Source, and Life Essence can enhance physique and improve intelligence to some degree. The price is manageable."

"From the heritage of a Prehistoric Civilization, the Wisdom Fruit, as an A-grade Strange Object, can greatly enhance intelligence and even change genes, allowing the offspring to inherit these traits too. However, the price is quite high."

This transaction is going to bankrupt the captain soon!

Unless the captain cheats again, like with a piece of paper or a bottle of mineral water.

Otherwise, he could go bankrupt!

But Xiao Ai felt conflicted.

Even she could see that this somewhat dim-witted Mr. Fu Liaoyi, like the previous customer Lu Wenhao, revered spirit and had the potential to drive the world forward!

At least, his personal will far exceeded that of ordinary humans.

Such people are extremely rare.

Most people merely drift along with the current and quickly have their edges smoothed by the world's many challenges.

Should she increase her investment, or let the captain go bankrupt quickly?

Xiao Ai was conflicted.

She glanced at the Black Flame, looking nervously at the High Level Demon God, wondering if it had any good solutions.

[Reincarnation's End] seemed to be in a state of quiet contemplation, suggesting that the captain too was hesitating.

It noticed Xiao Ai's conflict and began to tempt her again, "Want to know? The captain is a bit different from before, want to know what's different? Just if..."

Xiao Ai simply ignored it.

Only Xiaoyue could accomplish this task, she really, really couldn't do it.

"Um... it is indeed a troublesome point that the price is high."

Wang Hao slid his finger on the table for a while, "Since there isn't much of a good method, we'll have to take a loss, giving out Intelligence is not something we can fake."

He had just activated the function to peek at causality, and if the future evolution were converted into space-time tidal energy, it would definitely be a massive profit.

But how should I put it, converting it to "space-time tidal energy" made too much profit, it kind of ruined the game experience, so it had to be set aside.

"Let's do this, give him a cup of Life Spring to enhance his brain intelligence."

"Captain, as an advanced version of Life Spring, it indeed can slightly enhance intelligence. A small cup will consume the value of 100,000, are you really sure?"

Xiao Ai somewhat wanted to report a slightly cheaper price.

But there was no way around it, as an honest artificial intelligence, she could only tell the truth.

"It's okay, this guy can change the world, to the extent of the space-time tidal energy, there won't be a loss!"

"Xiao Ai, remember that we opened this shop for joy, not for making a fortune."

...

...

After the discussion ended, the fluidity of time was once again unraveled.

Soon, Xiao Ai presented a delicate little bottle containing half a bottle of pale blue liquid.

With the sale of this cup of liquid, the number in the crystal ball decreased to 899,990.

A bottle of water worth 100,000!

Wang Hao, suppressing the pain of the loss, explained to the man in front of him, "After drinking this cup of Life Spring, you will become smarter."

"But you should know, the cost of gaining wisdom is steep, just as Adam and Eve were banished from Eden Garden by the deity after they stole the Wisdom Fruit."

"You really can't afford the price of gaining wisdom, and I don't want to deprive you of too much of your life."

"Let's do this...we can draft a contract, when your personal will is smoothed by the world, when you choose to integrate into all living beings, all the remaining life you have will belong to me."

The so-called cost was a solution thought out for a long time. Even "merciful" Xiao Ai thought this plan was not excessive.

In Xiao Ai's view, an individual without value, dead and gone, doesn't earn a second glance from her.

Truly, an unfathomably cold artificial fool.

"What do you think of this contract?"

When he spoke out these words, Fu Liaoyi frightfully discovered that the space around him had undergone an immense change!

A space, vast and dark as the abyss, silent, unfolded before his eyes.

A mass of Black Flame was violently pulsating.

Everything around seemed shrouded in an unsettling atmosphere.

That black flame emitted a strange laugh.

It was as if pairs of barely visible eyes were peering through the darkness, malevolently sizing him up.

And placed before him, a pale yellow piece of parchment, depicted with infinitely exquisitely drawn symbols—each one causing his head to reel—by simply signing his name, he could obtain what he desired—Wisdom!

This was a Devil's contract!

A Demon's temptation!

You, since you wish to obtain wisdom, want to change the world, then you must act on your goals, fulfill your promises!

If you lose your fighting spirit, become one of the myriad of beings, then please go die!

You, must bring some positive influence to the world.

Not just be an ordinary person.

Understanding this, Fu Liaoyi's face instantly turned pale, anxiety and unease filling his heart and soul.

Yes, this is not Heaven.

Here, every wish comes at a cost!

He realized he was seemingly just a toy, a plaything for the shop owner's enjoyment.

However, there isn't much else to ponder upon, a small ambition rapidly sprouting in his chest, like a wild fire flaring up into blazing flames.

He was no longer willing to live in ignorance as he did in the past.

Quickly, Fu Liaoyi wrote his name on the parchment and pressed his handprint.
