Bai Cangshu stood in the seawater, his lower body, submerged in the water, was completely relaxed and extremely extended. At the same time, Bai Cangshu's center of gravity shifted, making him float strangely on the sea, as if standing in the water.
This peculiar posture was a sign that Bai Cangshu's martial arts abilities had gradually entered a profound realm, but at this moment, Moon Demon, or rather Li Qingzi, had no mind to pay attention to such details.
The only solution she could think of to make a beast like Tao Bai Bai spare her was to form a slave contract, just as she had once tried to capture Tao Bai Bai, except...
She would be the slave.
The two words, 'slave,' were like a burning hot iron branding her heart at this moment. The pain, unwillingness, humiliation, and anger even made her thoughts remarkably clear for a short time.
"Are you saying you want to be my dog?"
Bai Cangshu came before Moon Demon, this monster lying in the great sea, no longer resisting. Her slender body now showed a hint of fragility. Bai Cangshu condensed golden Qi between his fingers and touched Moon Demon's abdomen.
Puff~
The strong smell of Qi penetrating flesh and blood was no better than a laser burning through pork. The odor of living tissue instantly deactivated and cooked would make ordinary people nauseous and vomit, yet Bai Cangshu took the opportunity to stab his finger into her abdomen.
There wasn't much killing intent in this action; rather, it was more insulting.
Li Qingzi took a deep breath. Her monster body, after being corroded, could not display her expression, and she was even somewhat grateful at this moment not to see her original face.
Even though Bai Cangshu deliberately used the insulting description of "being my dog," she could only agree.
She wanted to live too much; she couldn't bear to give up everything she possessed now.
"Yes, I... I will give you everything I have. This, after all, will be more valuable than killing me, right?"
Bai Cangshu raised his eyebrow. Dominating a powerful Reincarnator was naturally far more profitable than killing them.
Although the existence of the scarlet drop card could, to some extent, convert the resources of a slain Reincarnator into the victor's spoils of war.
How could the resources and information consumed by a Reincarnator's growth be encompassed by one or two extractions?
Whether you choose ability extraction, specialty extraction, item extraction, or singularity points and dimensional points extraction, most other resources will inevitably be wasted.
The stronger the Reincarnator, the higher the "commission" Space extracts in this form.
Therefore, the way to fully accept a veteran Reincarnator is naturally to enslave them, using the unique Contracts of Space to gain complete dominance.
In Bai Cangshu's mind, he originally intended to kill Moon Demon after squeezing out all her resources, but such a thing could usually only be achieved with weak Reincarnators who had significant character flaws.
Because veteran Reincarnators generally know the other party's intentions, and this is even more true for someone like Moon Demon, who has made a name for herself through killing.
She wouldn't rashly hand over all her resources, and her scrutiny of the Contract would be more meticulous, making it difficult for Bai Cangshu to find a loophole that would allow him to obtain resources and kill her at the same time.
"Tsk, to live, you really can do anything."
Bai Cangshu withdrew his finger, watching the flesh tendrils squirm, and felt that this was indeed the true nature of Reincarnators.
Most Reincarnators fit the worldly definition of "villains." They are thrown into various worlds, using their mastery of intelligence and their superior combat power to unleash malice and destruction upon the plot characters and plot worlds.
But when they encounter an unbeatable enemy, most Reincarnators lack the integrity of those warlords or villains; they absolutely will not consider dying rather than submitting.
Reincarnators, as long as they can return to Space alive, always have a chance to create miracles again.
Reincarnators are a group of evil yet cowardly planar locusts, one by one thrown into various worlds by Space.
Li Qingzi listened to Tao Bai Bai's words. The humiliation in his tone was strong, but it was precisely this tone that made her realize that her idea was correct—this was the greatest value she could offer.
This Tao Bai Bai was not only a fighting beast but also the most greedy kind. If there was a way to completely consume her, he would definitely not settle for just that one extraction from a scarlet drop card.
"Yes, I'll do anything to live."
"Tao Bai Bai... no, Bai Cangshu, if you choose to dominate me, you will gain resources far beyond your imagination. Even in the real world, you will be able to get whatever you want, something that hunting dog Song Xian could never give you!"
Moon Demon raised her head, and her voice returned to a Woman's tone.
Bai Cangshu's memory was excellent. He remained composed, not panicking at all because she called out his real name. Everything was under his control at this moment. Kasha had already cooled down, and he could instantly kill Moon Demon, whose defense was low and mobility impaired.
Moreover, he had now recalled her true identity.
[You have accepted the slave contract of Reincarnator QO60833805]
[You have gained dominance over QO60833805 (Moon Demon). You can impose restrictions on QO60833805 (Moon Demon) through Space and freely draw upon QO60833805's resources]
[Slave contract related content belongs to Contract Item Six. You can read it carefully and modify restrictions on your subordinate slaves at any time]
"Ha, I didn't expect the eldest daughter of the March Conglomerate to also be a Reincarnator, hmm... and to have become like this."
Li Qingzi saw the contract completed and knew she wouldn't be killed, so she relaxed, and her consciousness began to become chaotic again. Although her Mental attribute had reached 23 through equipment and items, because she hadn't gained Efficiency, her Mental power at the basic conversion rate was extremely difficult to resist the erosive ability of God Hand.
Roar!
A roar escaped, and Moon Demon suddenly flipped over from the sea, tearing at Bai Cangshu with a claw.
But just as Moon Demon's claw was a palm's distance from Bai Cangshu, her body suddenly froze, and all her blood vessels burst.
Bai Cangshu looked at the prompt in his panel.
The slave contract, among all contracts, is also the most stringent. Establishing this contract requires paying a minimum d-class special point plus a large amount of dimensional points, depending on the slave's strength and grade.
Bai Cangshu did not pay this part of the cost, because this contract was drafted by Moon Demon herself. This is probably one of the very few cases in Space where someone actively spends singularity points and dimensional points to become another Reincarnator's slave.
And for such a slave, the dominant Reincarnator can not only see the other party's mission completion status but also, according to the setting, the slave Reincarnator cannot freely dispose of the resources they obtain.
Every resource withdrawal requires the consent of the dominant Reincarnator, while conversely, the dominant Reincarnator can withdraw the slave Reincarnator's resources without their consent.
At the same time, the dominant Reincarnator has absolute superior authority over the slave Reincarnator.
Subordinates cannot attack superiors; violators will face Space punishment, defaulting to severe injury. The dominant Reincarnator can also actively change it to "minor injury," "near death," and "death" three levels.
There are many other related permissions and abilities, and Bai Cangshu clicked his tongue in wonder.
This Infinite Dimensional Space might even be encouraging "farming" behavior.
This Space is even more "dark, deep, and cruel" than the infinite flow works he had read, completely portraying a winner-takes-all stance.
Reincarnators who lose in the "gu-raising struggle" of Space, whether they become slaves or are killed and turned into scarlet drop cards, have their resources completely exploited by Space.
The stronger get stronger, the weaker get weaker.
No mistakes in the 1619 book bar!
Bai Cangshu grabbed Moon Demon's neck and dragged her, treading water, back across the sea.
At the same time, he continuously browsed the rules of Space and Moon Demon's inventory space.
Moon Demon's inventory slots were far more numerous than Bai Cangshu's. Bai Cangshu guessed that was because of her Three-Star Reincarnator rating. Apart from two slots containing some real-world clothes and items, all other slots were filled with Reincarnator items.
Items emitting a purple glow were not few, and among them, the most intensely glowing and precious one was an emblem.
[Stigma·?]
[Quality: Purple·Extreme] (May change after identification)
[Description: The mark of a child of God in the A Certain Magical Index and its derivative worlds, stripped by some mysterious power, its properties hidden]
[Usage Requirements: Magic specialization level > 7, Energy > 30, Constitution > 30]
[Effect: Gain Saint physique]
When Bai Cangshu took out this item, its purple radiance was almost like a torch, and as it continuously dissipated, the nearby seawater was suffused with purple.
In terms of this display and rarity alone, it was probably more precious than all the items Bai Cangshu had seen so far, except for the King's Left Arm.
Then there was a book.
[Imperial Ultimate World-Governing Book]
[Quality: ?]
[Description: A mysterious book circulating in the Sea Tiger World, only those with great wisdom can comprehend its mysteries]
[Usage Requirements: None]
[Effect: None]
Bai Cangshu looked at this book. It was the first time he had seen an item with both usage requirements and effects listed as "None," but its recognition by Space indicated that the book was indeed genuine.
In the Sea Tiger World, this book could indeed allow people to comprehend various martial arts. Did Reincarnators also need to comprehend it themselves when using this book?!
He temporarily put this item into his inventory, then was about to take out the third item, a crystal, when he heard a whooshing sound approaching.
Bai Cangshu looked up and saw Vice Admiral Karp appearing in the air.
He stopped his movements, dragging the immobile Moon Demon, and showed a false smile to Karp.
"Yo, Vice Admiral Karp, I've caught this fugitive."
Karp frowned. He was indeed drunk, but for someone of his physique, dispelling drunkenness was simple: just control his body's metabolism.
He had originally heard Onigumo and others say that Tao Bai Bai had gone in pursuit, and assumed that what he would likely see was that Tao Bai Bai had killed the two monsters, and the Marine would not punish him.
Karp knew very well that this Tao Bai Bai possessed a crazy killing intent. Even at this moment, that faint, almost imperceptible killing intent surged like ocean waves.
Beneath his smiling face, he must be very strenuously suppressing his killing intent.
But in the end, he did not kill this monster; he captured it alive.
Karp smiled and turned, saying,
"Tao Bai Bai, right? Follow me!"
Then, Moonwalk began. Bai Cangshu's heart stirred, and he immediately stomped hard, the sea surface exploding as he, carrying the enormous Moon Demon, shot into the sky.
