I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 529 - 130: Everything Is Within Control

"Tr...ansaction?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, but was quickly captivated by the words "I can get you out."

"You can get me out?"

He was overjoyed, a trace of tremble could even be heard in his voice.

"Mm-hmm~"

Deng responded softly, a slight and subtle cunningness glinting in his eyes.

From his earlier remarks, it seemed the middle-aged man was a gambler, deeply engrossed in the bet, but like Yun You, had been transported into the Cosmic Library.

Unfortunately, he didn't have Yun You's endurance to climb twenty thousand steps in just a few hours.

Devoid of water and food, he quickly fell into a weakened state, stumbling through several weeks before he finally found Deng.

And this kind of person piqued Deng's interest the most.

Because on him, Deng might be able to harvest more emotions.

"Mind if this uncle jumps the queue?"

Deng turned to Yun You with a smile, saying, "The remaining revelation is a bit lengthy, which might be a bit troublesome to discuss. Let me brew over it first, as compensation, I'll offer you one more free destiny revelation."

"What do you say, Ah You?"

Yun You shrugged, not refusing either.

After all, she didn't have anything to do at the moment, waiting wasn't a problem, and she could get an extra gift, so why not?

Seeing Yun You step aside, the middle-aged man couldn't wait to squeeze in, rubbing his hands together, he asked, "How do we make the trade?"

"Just follow the instructions on the machine."

Deng pointed to the vending machine's screen.

The middle-aged man immediately leaned forward, carefully reviewing the vending machine.

The interface he saw was similar to Yun You's, all about selling emotions, memories, and contracts.

As a seasoned gambler, he completely ignored the latter two options and looked at the first one.

But unlike the options Yun You saw, in his emotion-selling interface, the most valuable emotion was "greed."

One bit of greed could directly exchange for the chance to leave, along with three "destiny revelations."

Though he didn't know what a destiny revelation was, recalling how Deng needed only one destiny revelation...to get Yun You to agree, he could be sure this thing was definitely not cheap.

He placed his hand on the transaction panel.

But just before signing, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask, "After selling this emotion of greed, what will happen to me?"

"You will no longer feel any sense of greed."

Deng, having somehow conjured a pink lollipop, explained as he licked it, "From now on, no matter how well the people you hate are doing, or how much wealth your friends and relatives amass, you will sincerely bless them without jealousy."

"Similarly, you won't feel the urge to gamble anymore, won't want to recoup, just admit defeat, take it as it is, and return to a normal life... For someone as deeply rooted in gambling as you, it might be a good thing."

This was indeed the truth.

In Nest City, gamblers' process was winning, but the outcome was always losing.

Anyone who thinks they can get rich just by gambling would eventually end up bankrupt.

The middle-aged man seemed like an average civilian, for whom, though their past savings had been exhausted in waves of gambling, if they could just stop in time, they could still barely scrape by in the future.

But if they continued gambling, they would inevitably fall into further debt.

Thinking of this, Yun You felt a bit puzzled and slightly furrowed her brow.

What Deng said sounded quite normal, like the kind of words a counselor at a rehab center would say.

But Yun You had clearly sensed a hint of "teasing" from Deng's expression earlier.

Why bother counseling seriously if the intention was to tease?

But soon, she understood Deng's intentions.

"This..."

Listening to Deng's advice, the middle-aged man was stunned, and the action of signing in his hand slowly came to a halt.

He looked at his own hand; the glaringly ugly scar on the base of his forefinger, previously severed for cheating, was so prominent.

He then looked at the vending machine's screen, the words "go home" and "destiny revelation" were so alluring.

But they weren't alluring enough.

Because he recalled his unfinished gamble.

He only needed one more round to win back all the money he had lost before!

If he lost his desire, how could he gamble, how could he win?

So ultimately, desire triumphed over reason.

He pressed the "back" button several times in a row, exiting the greed transaction interface.

Seeing this, Yun You understood.

Deng was clearly playing a game of withdrawing to tempt.

If she hadn't said that last bit of "advice," the middle-aged man might have knee-jerked into signing the contract, thus losing his desire and not thinking about gambling and recouping.

But by saying so, it was like indirectly reminding the middle-aged man that desire shouldn't be lost, otherwise even if he got out, what would be the point?

He was already bankrupt from previous gambling sprees, and gambling a few more times was his only hope for a turnaround. He couldn't give up on that...

So, he abandoned the idea of selling his desire.

But could this be blamed on Deng? Obviously not.

She was merely adding a few casual comments, as a businessperson, it's only right to detail her dealings, and no one has the right to criticize.

Furthermore, this was a transaction between the middle-aged man and Deng, Yun You as an outsider had no necessity or obligation to intervene. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The middle-aged man manipulated the vending machine, returning to the product transaction interface, and scrolled down further.
