Film and Television: Building Pawnshop No. 8 Starting from Soul Ferry

"There are countless races in this universe, and how many of them want to invade Earth?"

"But why hasn't it succeeded after all these years?"

"It's because Earth is not simple."

Lu Ziqiao was stunned, his shock beyond measure.

He suddenly realized how superficial his previous understanding of Lin Yang had been.

Seeing this, Lin Yang chuckled and said, "Now that we've covered everything else, let's get down to business."

Lu Ziqiao snapped out of his daze: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yang's smile gradually faded, and a profound look appeared in his eyes:

"I'm more interested in your soul. Would you be interested in pawning it?"

"Pawning your soul?" Lu Ziqiao's expression instantly became exaggerated:

"Brother Yang, you must be joking! How could I possibly sell my soul!"

He paused, then added, "Unless the price is reasonable."

Lin Yang smiled slightly and said, "You possess the guardian spirit of the God of War, Lü Bu. This power is priceless."

"As long as you are willing to pawn your soul, billions in assets and endless wealth are nothing more than a blink of an eye."

Lu Ziqiao's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable!

He quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang, you've gone too far with this joke!"

"Although I love money, I haven't gone so far as to sell my soul!"

Lin Yang looked deeply at Lü Ziqiao, as if he could see through his thoughts, and slowly said:

"Then, what about eliminating the Lü family?"

Lu Ziqiao was stunned for a moment, as if he had been struck by lightning.

His voice trembled as he said, "Eliminate...eliminate the Lü family?"

“That’s right.” Lin Yang nodded.

"If you pawn your soul, I can let you eliminate the Lü family."

"Once and for all, we'll never be bound by them again."

A complex expression appeared on Lü Ziqiao's face.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I am well aware of the sins of the Lü family. But what will happen if we pawn our souls?"

"Nothing will happen," Lin Yang interrupted Lu Ziqiao. "At most, your soul will be eaten."

As he spoke, he grinned menacingly, revealing sharp fangs:

"Of course, your soul probably doesn't taste very good, and I might even find it unpleasant."

Lu Ziqiao was so frightened that he took two steps back, his face pale, and said:

"Yang, Brother Yang, you're not kidding me!"

"Who's joking with you?" Lin Yang laughed.

“Your soul can serve as an employee of Pawnshop No. 8, at my beck and call.”

He paused and continued:

"I know that in this world, besides superpowers, there are also guardian spirits."

"For example, in Zhenhun Street in the capital, there is a man named Cao Yanbing."

Lu Ziqiao said in surprise, "Brother Yang, you really do know everything. You're even more knowledgeable than Baidu."

Lin Yang smiled casually:

"Haha, I just pay more attention to some special beings in our world."

"I've heard about Cao Yanbing's deeds; he's definitely not a simple character."

"He hasn't fully mastered his power yet, otherwise, he would have summoned his guardian spirit long ago."

Lu Ziqiao listened with great interest: "Oh? Then why doesn't he summon a guardian spirit?"

"Is it because the guardian spirit is too powerful, and he can't control it?"

Lin Yang said, "You're only half right."

"His first guardian spirit, Yu Jin, is dead, but seven powerful guardian spirits are still sleeping within him."

“Each of them is a distinguished general in the history of the Cao family.”

"On the day he awakens, these guardian spirits will all be at his service."

Lu Ziqiao's eyes widened: "What?! Could he be the legendary Martial God Body?"

"Can one have multiple Guardian Spirits at the same time?"

Lin Yang nodded: "That's right, the guardian spirits within him are all generals of the Cao family."

"Each of them possesses the power to destroy the world."

"If he can fully awaken and master these powers, then he will be a true God of War."

Lu Ziqiao took a deep breath: "Everyone outside is speculating that his guardian spirit is not simple."

"I never imagined it was so complex. It's truly astonishing."

Taking the opportunity, Lin Yang asked, "So? Interested in pawning your soul now?"

"As long as you pawn your soul."

"I guarantee your guardian spirit will be even more powerful than his."

"Of course, you'll have to help me with things in the future, specifically collecting the souls of those who possess guardian spirits."

Lu Ziqiao was somewhat tempted, but still hesitated:

“Brother Yang, this soul pawn is no small matter. I need to think about it carefully.”

Lin Yang wasn't in a hurry. He knew Lu Ziqiao's personality and weaknesses well: "No problem, take your time to think it over."

"However, I must remind you that you only have one chance; once you miss it, you'll never have another."

"And your soul is of great benefit to me."

Hearing Lin Yang say this, Lü Ziqiao gritted his teeth:

"Okay! I've made up my mind! Yang-ge, I'll follow you from now on!"

Lin Yang laughed: "Haha, good! This is your wisest choice. I guarantee you won't regret it."

After saying that, he took out a contract and handed it to Lü Ziqiao:

"This is the soul pawn contract. Take a look and if it's okay, then put your fingerprint on it."

Lu Ziqiao took the contract and read it carefully.

After confirming that everything was in order, I pressed my fingerprint on the pad.

Contract generated!

Lu Ziqiao felt a wave of scorching heat instantly envelop his entire body, as if he were in a furnace.

His guardian spirit, the war god Lü Bu, was also affected by this heat.

Strange changes began to occur.

The image of Lü Bu became increasingly clear in the depths of his soul.

That invincible aura grew even stronger.

In addition, Lu Ziqiao also felt that he had established a mysterious connection with Pawnshop No. 8.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a pawn transaction. Current progress: 3/40]

As soon as he landed, several more voices rang in Lin Yang's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a pawn transaction. Current progress: 4/40]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a pawn transaction. Current progress: 8/40]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing a pawn transaction. Current progress: 10/40]

As the voice faded, several illusory figures appeared inside Pawnshop No. 8.

Their faces were blurred, and they emanated an evil aura.

These figures were swallowed whole by Lin Yang.

Seeing this, Lu Ziqiao wasn't too surprised...

After becoming an employee of Pawnshop No. 8.

He already had a certain understanding of how pawnshops operated.

He knew that what this pawnshop needed most was a soul.

Especially those evil souls.

The more evil something is, the greater its effect on boss Lin Yang seems to be.

After Lin Yang finished eating those evil souls.

His gaze fell on Lü Ziqiao, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips:

"Congratulations, Ziqiao, you are now a full-time employee of our Pawnshop No. 8."

"From now on, you'll be in charge of managing the guardian spirits."

Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Lu Ziqiao's eyes!

He nodded, his voice deep and powerful: "Boss, don't worry, I guarantee that once the target is identified..."

“I will gather those evil souls back immediately.”

Lin Yang nodded slightly:

"You handle things with the Lü family."
