Age was his Achilles' heel. Even with his martial arts skills, he couldn't stop the ravages of time.
"Boss, can you really pawn anything here?" Lin Pingzhi suddenly looked at Lin Hao with a newfound determination.
"Of course. Everything in the world can be pawned. Heavenly treasures, spiritual pills, martial arts weapons, or even yourself." Lin Hao smiled, gently waving a folding fan in his hand.
Lin Pingzhi took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Lin Hao with unwavering eyes.
"Alright, then I'll pawn myself," Lin Pingzhi said directly.
"Oh? Pawn yourself? Are you sure?" Lin Hao's eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Pingzhi.
"Yes. As long as the boss can do what I need, my life is yours," Lin Pingzhi nodded.
"Alright, tell me what you need. Money, a martial arts manual, or something else?" Lin Hao nodded.
"I want revenge. As long as you can help me get revenge, my life is yours," Lin Pingzhi said through gritted teeth.
As soon as he mentioned revenge, he thought of his parents and the brothers of the Fuyue镖局.
They all suffered inhuman torture when they died. His parents were especially targeted. All of this was because of Yu Cang Hai of the Qingcheng sect.
"Oh? Are you sure it's just helping you get revenge? Your life is worth more than that. Think carefully," Lin Hao was a bit surprised by Lin Pingzhi's decision.
This was a key character in the story of "Smiling Proud Wanderer." He had a lot of good fortune, but unfortunately, he was always being manipulated.
It led to his complete descent into darkness, but Lin Pingzhi's character was still good.
"I've thought it through. As long as the boss can help me get revenge, my life is yours," Lin Pingzhi nodded.
"Alright, then sign here," Lin Hao casually waved his hand. Suddenly, a pawn ticket appeared on the table.
Seeing this, Lin Pingzhi was stunned. However, he didn't show much surprise. Such skills were common among street performers, nothing unusual.
"Hey, Lao Bai, the pawn shop owner can even do magic tricks!" Guo Furong exclaimed with shining eyes.
"Cut it out, what's the big deal? I can do that too. As long as my hand speed is fast enough, I can do it," Bai Zhan Tang said disdainfully.
"The boss is more handsome than you," Guo Furong retorted mercilessly.
Bai Zhan Tang: "…"
Can this even be a critical hit? Every word pierced his heart. Please be human.
Lin Pingzhi didn't even look at the terms written on the pawn ticket. He signed it directly.
"You're not going to read the conditions?" Lin Hao smiled at Lin Pingzhi.
"No need. As long as you can help me get revenge, my life is yours. Do the conditions even matter?" Lin Pingzhi said.
"Then aren't you afraid that I won't be able to fulfill your conditions?" Lin Hao's lips curled into a sinister smile.
"Then I can also break the contract," Lin Pingzhi said.
"Alright, good. However, you've already signed the pawn ticket. You have no chance to back out."
"Well, Yu Cang Hai is only at the early stage of Grandmaster right now. Since you want revenge, I'll give you the power of a peak Grandmaster so you can get your revenge," Lin Hao said calmly.
"Peak Grandmaster? Really?" Lin Pingzhi looked at Lin Hao in shock.
Lin Hao raised his hand towards Lin Pingzhi and lightly waved it.
The next second, he felt a surge of power in his body. His strength surged rapidly.
Originally, he was just an innate martial artist. In an instant, he broke through to the innate level.
Then it was the Grandmaster level, all the way to the peak of the Grandmaster level before stopping.
Moreover, he didn't feel any discomfort.
At this moment, he was completely shocked.
The boss really did it. How did he do it?
Even with the transfer of skills, it shouldn't have such an effect.
"Alright, the deal is done. You can leave," Lin Hao said calmly.
"Thank you, Boss. I will be back soon," Lin Pingzhi knelt down to Lin Hao.
He kowtowed three times, then turned and left.
Lin Hao was very satisfied with Lin Pingzhi's behavior. Lin Pingzhi was definitely a person who valued loyalty.
If his fate hadn't been so tragic, he would have surely made a name for himself in the martial arts world.
Bai Zhan Tang and Guo Furong, standing at the door, witnessed the entire scene.
When they felt Lin Pingzhi's strength skyrocketing, they were stunned.
They never expected that Lin Hao's pawn shop could really pawn anything, that it could truly grant any wish.
Bai Zhan Tang was a Grandmaster himself, and he knew how difficult it was to achieve this level.
But here, all it took was an item of equal value, and it could be easily obtained. How was that possible?
Even after witnessing it with his own eyes, Bai Zhan Tang still found it hard to believe.
"O-Old Bai, it's, it's actually true," Guo Furong stuttered in shock.
"Hiss... Why did you pinch me?" Bai Zhan Tang grimaced in pain as he looked at Guo Furong.
"Hehehe... I just wanted to see if it was real. Looking at your reaction, it should be true," Guo Furong said awkwardly.
