"Contract" is one of the new and important functions of the tavern.

In a way, this function is an extension of the tavern in another way.

It basically consists of selecting intelligent beings and signing a contract with them to connect them to the tavern.

Generally speaking, there are two types of contracts: one is a permanent contract that consumes a lot of energy and has a unique function; The second is a less costly temporary contract.

Sign a permanent contract, unless the contractor dies, or the arbor takes the initiative to untie the contract, the other party will be permanently connected to the tavern, and will be under the absolute control of the tavern during this period.

In other words, everything and even life and death of the contractor are in the hands of Qiao Mu.

The temporary contract is valid for one year, and in the absence of a violation of the contract, the arbor cannot use the force of the contract to punish or control it.

From this point of view, the permanent contract is more like a slave contract, which is greatly beneficial to the arbor, and the contractor is the persecuted party.

Facts are not so simple to see.

After signing a permanent contract, he can be regarded as his own by Qiao Mu, share his core secrets, and be cultivated by him, so it is not difficult for the contractor to accept it.

What's more, this kind of permanent contract has one of the most unnatural benefits: that is, if the contractor dies unexpectedly, even if the soul dissipates, he can be resurrected through the contract mark in the tavern!

However, there are some restrictions on permanent contracts: one is that depending on the strength of the contractor, it needs to cost 100-90 million space-time coins; The second is that a maximum of 10 permanent contracts can be signed at present; The third is that the strength of the highest contractor cannot exceed the 9-star level of the holy level.

Perhaps these restrictions will decrease as the tavern level increases, but they will not change anytime soon.

In comparison, the temporary contract is much less restrictive, except for the period of one year, the amount of time and space coins that need to be paid, depending on the strength of the contractor, is only 100-9000 time and space coins.

It's just that according to Qiao Mu's plan, these space-time coins will be paid by the contractor.

Regarding the specific terms of the provisional contract, Lolita drafted several copies, and the specific content could be selected and changed by Qiao Mu, instead of the cold sentence of "eternal sale and tavern" like the permanent contract.

In this way, it also has a higher degree of freedom.

Looking at some of the ancillary introductions to the newly added contract function, Qiao Mu tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This was expected by him and Lolita, not only did it mean that he had much more control over those "Chosen One", but also that he was pleasantly surprised by the fact that he could restrict the guests of those taverns through a "temporary contract", so that they could stay on Earth and even go to other worlds!

Of course, there is a premise for all this, and that is that there is no longer one world to connect each time the plane is opened, as was the case in the past......

And this happens to be perfectly solved in the upgraded tavern.

Qiao Mu listened carefully to Lolita's introduction to the upgraded connection function.

"Up to Level 4 can be connected to a one-month ...... The process can be terminated at any time. ”

"Each plane is open for more than a month and can be solidified into permanent passages, including previously connected planes."

"There is no limit to the total number of permanent channels."

"A new fourth-level can be opened every month, or two third-level planes, or four second-level planes, or eight four-level first-level planes, not at the same time."

"It takes 10 million space-time coins to connect to the fourth-level plane for the first time, and 1 million space-time coins for the third-level plane......"

"Between the planes that form a permanent passage, it is possible to travel across planes, and planes that do not form a permanent passage can temporarily accept people from different planes......"

……

Qiao Mu listened to Lolita's words, his fists clenched and released.

The upgrade of the tavern this time is indeed a qualitative change, many functions are within his expectations, and there are also some unexpected surprises, of course, some of the expected functions have not appeared.

"Don't be greedy, that's enough." Qiao Mu thought to himself.

However, Qiao Mu's surprise did not last long, and when he heard Lolita mention the conditions for the tavern to be upgraded again, his eyes widened, and his whole person was a little blank.

"Level 4 Tavern to Level 5 requires 1 billion Space-Time Coins, as well as ...... 5,000,000,000 Reputation! Lolita glanced at the tree lightly and said.

Looking at Qiao Mu's stiff expression, little Lori laughed maliciously.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Qiao Mu asked.

"Sure." Lolita smiled.

Qiao Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He originally thought that he had close to 300 million space-time coins, which was already very tyrant, but compared to the upgrade conditions of 1 billion space-time coins, the difference was not a little bit worse.

But this is not an intractable problem, the most important thing is ......

5 billion reputation!

That means that almost everyone in the world has to know about it and have a strong impression in their hearts to provide prestige.

However, there are currently less than 7.5 billion people in the world, and nearly a third of them are children and the elderly who are most likely not associated with taverns, as well as a large number of displaced people living in war, and people who suffer from poverty and disease and have no time to pay attention to others......

All of these factors restrict the growth of the tavern's prestige.

"Perhaps the master should not just look at the world you live in." Lolita said suddenly.

Qiao Mu looked up, but quickly shook his head again, "If people from other worlds flood in, it will be a great burden to the tavern. ”

"No," Lolita shook her head, "there may be other ways you can increase the Tavern's influence in the Otherworld. ”

"What's more, the stronger the person, the more prestige the tavern brings." Lolita Road.

After being reminded by Lolita, Qiao Mu frowned at first, and soon came over.

"I see." He nodded, "However, Earth is our home base, so ......"

"I know," Lolita smiled proudly, "I've already communicated with Xiao Wu, and I can keep this planet under our control at any time." ”

"Of course, all this will not make too many waves for ordinary people, as the master said, they will only feel that the world has suddenly become a better place." Lolita laughed wickedly.

Qiao Mu waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to elaborate.

For such a thing, with the help of the conspirator of the T-5000, whom Lolita calls Little Five, there will definitely be no mistakes.

In addition, after the upgrade, Lolita's control of the network is no longer limited to the previous means of communication, wherever there is an electronic signal, it will be there.

Now it is the number one boss in this world, so Qiao Mu doesn't mind what some countries will do, and even expects someone to hit the muzzle.
