Chapter 166 We've been set up! The Oath Curse!
After Zhao Gongming finished speaking, he fell back to the ground from the sky.
He looked quietly at Cheng Gui and shook his head:
"Although you have awakened me, I observe that you are restless and not a suitable candidate for my contract."
Cheng Gui panicked upon hearing this.
This won't do. Before I came here, I bragged to my friends that I was about to contract an S-level Chinese deity, which could generate endless treasures, and I would have money to spend in the future.
If the God of Wealth refuses to form a contract with him, how can he hold his head high in front of his friends?
He's about to lose his newly acquired title of boss.
No, absolutely not!
Cheng Gui said anxiously, "Senior Martial God of Wealth, did I do something wrong? Why can't you give me the contract?"
Zhao Gongming looked at his brightly colored clothes and the various miscellaneous jewelry hanging on his body, and said:
"Clothing reveals character! Your... uh, strange attire clearly shows that you don't meet my criteria for a contractor."
Upon hearing the word "conditions," Cheng Gui's eyes lit up.
Meeting the conditions is easy; just tell me and I'll follow them.
Cheng Gui asked, "Could you please tell me the conditions for the contractor of the God of Wealth?"
Zhao Gongming glanced at Cheng Gui and nodded slightly: "My contractors must have a calm and composed temperament and not be greedy for vanity."
"You are so impetuous and extravagant now, you really don't meet my requirements."
"If I were to make a contract with you and obtain this treasure bowl, it would surely summon a vast amount of treasure."
"This would lead to chaos in China's market order, price imbalances, and immense suffering for the people."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Gui suddenly felt a wave of shame.
Although he was also a playboy, he was different from those playboys who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Cheng Gui still attached great importance to the revival of his family.
The thought of the potentially serious consequences he might cause filled him with unease.
If he were to form a contract with Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, he would indeed recklessly summon a vast amount of treasure to support the restoration of his family.
Then the Cheng family will really have no chance of revival; Old Mo will definitely suppress them to death.
Although their family had been kind to Old Master Mo, compared to the country, what did their family matter?
Cheng Peng, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized his mistake.
He originally thought that through this treasure bowl, his family would one day become the richest family in China.
But I didn't think about the consequences of doing so.
Old Mo will definitely stop them before they even begin.
While watching Su Fan's live stream, Old Mo nodded when he saw Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, bring this matter to light.
That's good, it saves him from having to specifically tell Cheng Peng after the contract is signed.
After Cheng Gui understood, he lowered his head in shame, then suddenly raised his head, clenched his fists, and said firmly:
"Senior God of Wealth, I understand. Rest assured, if I can form a contract with you, I will definitely not abuse the power of the Treasure Basin for my own selfish gain."
"With all my ancestors before me, I, Cheng Gui, swear that after making a pact with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, I will never abuse the power of the Treasure Bowl!"
When Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, heard Cheng Gui's resolute answer and the oath he had made to his ancestors, he was stunned for a moment.
The Chinese people swear oaths to their ancestors—that's truly wicked.
It's fair to say that, under normal circumstances, no one would swear an oath to their ancestors.
It seems that Cheng Gui is serious.
Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"If you can do that, I might give you another chance. However, before signing the contract, you must first..."
Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, glanced at Cheng Gui's brightly colored clothes.
Cheng Gui immediately realized what was happening.
As he removed the bizarre and varied jewelry from his body, he said:
"Don't worry, senior. I don't usually wear these clothes and jewelry. This time I'm going out to hang out with friends and maybe pick up some girls..."
As Cheng Gui spoke, he noticed Zhao Gongming's gaze slowly turning cold. He shivered and quickly said:
"Don't worry, senior. After we form a contract, I'll cut off all contact with those scoundrels!"
Cheng Peng, listening from the side, rolled his eyes. At first, hearing Cheng Gui's sincere tone, he thought he had seen a ghost. This brat had actually reformed.
It wasn't until he heard this that Cheng Peng realized that Cheng Gui had only temporarily agreed to Zhao Gongming's request; he had simply tricked him into signing the contract.
Cheng Gui didn't care about any of that. He had told his younger brother that he wanted to form a contract with an S-level god. He couldn't be laughed at, otherwise how could he be the big brother?
However, this money cannot be used indefinitely, otherwise it will be really dangerous to start a family.
Cheng Peng could see it, and Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth who had lived even longer and was already a deity, naturally saw it too.
Zhao Gongming smiled mysteriously, then said, "Alright, if you can agree to these conditions, I will form a contract with you."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Gui's face lit up with a smile, and he quickly said:
"Yes, I agree to everything!"
After Cheng Gui finished speaking, Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, suddenly raised his hand from behind his back, and a mysterious rune entered Cheng Gui's body at an extremely fast speed.
Cheng Gui was dumbfounded. He asked in confusion, "Senior Martial God of Wealth, this...?"
Zhao Gongming laughed heartily and explained, "This is a vow incantation. I have inscribed the promise you just made to me inside."
"If you break your vow, this vow curse will be activated, and then you'll be in for a lot of trouble."
Cheng Gui's expression changed, and he secretly cursed his bad luck, feeling somewhat unable to stop himself.
He also tried to salvage the situation:
"Senior, isn't that unnecessary? You don't know, I always keep my promises and won't break them easily. This oath incantation is unnecessary, isn't it?"
Upon hearing Cheng Gui's words, Cheng Peng nearly coughed up blood.
You... kept your promise?
Su Fan looked at the group with great interest.
Zhao Gongming had a big smile on his face:
"Since you're so committed to keeping your promise, what are you afraid of this oath curse for? Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise, this oath curse won't be activated."
Cheng Gui could only sigh inwardly, but he pretended to remain calm on the surface.
"Don't worry, senior. I will keep my oath."
Zhao Gongming nodded in satisfaction: "That's good then."
"In that case, extend your hand, and I will also make a contract with you."
Cheng Gui hesitated for a moment before slowly extending his hand.
If he had known it would be like this, he wouldn't have come. He wouldn't be a damn S-class god among contractors.
This was absolutely fatal for him.
Cheng Peng was quite satisfied. Having made a contract with Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, he finally had someone to properly keep his rebellious son in check.
Cheng Gui has talent and all that, but he's too lazy and loves to play too much.
Now he can focus on his cultivation without having to go out with his cronies anymore.
A family reunion is just around the corner!
