Rebirth of a Portable Space: Transforming My Hometown

Chapter 144 A Transaction Worth 2 Million Dawn Coins

Tu'e felt a little embarrassed, after all, their family was only second! The first family was the Werner family, and most of their members possessed mental abilities.

Psychic individuals hold a significant position among them; even those with supernatural abilities treat them with deference.

After all, people with psychic abilities have a strong mental core and are not troubled by mental outbursts like others.

There's even a certain probability that they can use their mental power to quell the mental disturbances of other ability users. Therefore, families like the Werner family, which primarily produce mental ability users, naturally became the leading family in their Dawn Base.

Of course, this doesn't mean that psychic abilities users like them don't need tea or won't experience mental outbursts. Although their mental cores are relatively more stable, they can still experience mental outbursts.

A mental breakdown by a psychic would be far more terrifying than a typical psychopath's. Firstly, a mental breakdown by a psychic would trigger a terrifying chain reaction, causing other psychopaths around them to also experience mental breakdowns of varying degrees.

The higher the level of the psychic who triggers the riot, the wider the affected area. Only when other psychics in the vicinity are of a higher level can they offer some resistance to the riot.

Secondly, while other ability users might have a chance of being calmed down and saved by the mental power of a psychic, a mental ability user experiencing a mental outburst almost always means death.

In other words, those psychic ability users were the ones who needed tea more; they could have brought the Werner family along for the negotiations.

They don't care about being the first or second in the family hierarchy. If it were the Werner family 200 years ago, they would be very happy to share the tea trade with them.

But now… to be honest, they're not too happy. Ever since that sleazy man named Manasaki became their patriarch, the spirit of the Werner family has changed.

They've become selfish and narrow-minded, arrogant and vicious. The Werner family used to help quell mental unrest without expecting much in return, only taking a token payment.

Now, they're basically trying to calm people down from their mental uproar, and they won't stop until they've taken a piece of that family's flesh. These big families are alright, after all, their foundations are there.

Those smaller families are in a much worse situation. If someone in the family with supernatural abilities experiences a mental breakdown, they're basically doomed, or if they manage to pull through, they become disabled. They simply can't afford the exorbitant costs of mental recovery.

If you have no money and don't want to die from a mental breakdown, then you have another option: sign a contract with them and become their servant.

This would most likely preserve his life and superpowers, but it would also put his freedom for the rest of his life, and even the freedom of his descendants, in their hands.

And so, the Werner family actually became the largest slave owners in the Dawn Base—those slaves who signed slave contracts with the Werner family lived even worse lives than the 'good citizens' of Sector D.

At the same time, it corrupted the atmosphere of Dawn Base. Some families, while lacking the resources of the Werner family to make superhumans their servants, used their technology and land to...

They used various methods to deprive ordinary people of their homes and land, turning them into servants of these families—something the Kukoc family despised.

The Korla Kuchi family are all straightforward and have always refused to associate with them or live that kind of life. They have always been ostracized by these people. If it weren't for their superior martial prowess, making them the primary attackers of the Dawn Base, they would have been completely excluded.

They might be targeted and suppressed by these other families, but whenever someone in their family experiences a mental breakdown, the cost of seeking Werner's help is always one or two times, or even more, than that of other families.

Their large family now not only ventures into the depths of radiation but also hunts animals to sell for money, which is why Yufei encountered Kukochi.

It was fortunate that the first person Yufei encountered upon arriving in this world was Kukochi, a descendant of the Korla Kuchi family. Had she met someone from another family, she might have been swindled out of everything.

If they were to be tricked into signing a slave contract... whether they could even go back would be a question. Yufei shuddered at the thought.

The people of Daxia have always upheld the spirit of reciprocating kindness with the same respect. Lei Jun and his team felt that the Tu'e family genuinely wanted to cooperate with them.

They cooperated with them in good faith, finalizing the tea agency agreement. They handed over nearly 10 kilograms of additional tea they had brought to Tu'e for them to distribute and sell.

The final cooperation agreement was also finalized: the Korla Kuchi family would become their sales agents for Legendary Realm tea, and the profits would be split 30/70.

Yufei and her group received 70% of the tea, while the Korla Kuchi family received 30%. In addition, Yufei and her group were required to provide the Korla Kuchi family with an extra 10 jin (5 catties) of tea annually as a reward.

After they finalized their cooperation agreement, Kukoc was so worried about any unforeseen changes that he forgot all about having hotpot and quickly pulled Lei Jun aside to sign the contract with them first.

The contracts in this world are different from those on Earth. On Earth, contracts are on paper and governed by law.

This world is different; they have their own way of making contracts, and their contracts are actually based on mental power.

Once one party breaches the contract, that party will suffer a mental breakdown and die. Since its invention, this method has been proven effective time and again; no one who breaches the contract has escaped the punishment of this mental breakdown.

Moreover, even those with psychic abilities cannot quell this mental disturbance; those who try to quell it are often affected. Therefore, people nowadays generally do not break contracts signed using psychic power.

But Lei Jun and his team wouldn't be able to mobilize this so-called mental power.

This is because the dragon baby, who had been quiet because Yufei was angry with him, spoke to Yufei.

Tell Yufei not to worry, just let Lei Jun boldly sign the contract. He'll handle how it's signed; all she has to do is silently agree.

Yufei recounted what Longbao had told her to Lei Jun, and finally, amidst Lei Jun's trembling heart, they signed the contract.

At the same time, the map gave Lei Jun a smart ring.

"Brother Lei Jun, this is the Smart Ring, which is also the main machine at our Dawn Base that integrates communication, payment, and identity authentication. You can bind it with just one drop of blood in a moment. I've deposited 2 million Dawn's pre-order funds into this account."

This is a token of our sincerity from the Korla Kuchi family; please accept it.

After Tu'e finished speaking, he handed Lei Jun the same round lump that they had in their hands.

"Thank you! I won't refuse—we'll do our best to help you in the future if you need anything."

Lei Jun accepted the smart ring without any hesitation. After all, they were quite short of money since they had just arrived in this world. Although Tu'e said it was a pre-order payment, Lei Jun knew it was a form of assistance from their family.

Lei Jun and Yu Fei silently remembered their help and were determined to repay the favor if they had the chance.

After the contract was signed, Yufei's three-eyed beef offal and four-cornered lamb slices were already prepared.

Under Lei Jun's hospitality, they ate heartily again.
