"Let's make a deal!"

"Of course!"

Yang Tao looked at the Entity that appeared beside Harry and readily agreed to his request, though his eyes were filled with caution and a hint of undetectable madness.

"Entity Number 18: The Gentleman Beast of Level 5."

"Do not talk to it!!"

"Do not touch it!!"

"If you see it, please leave Level 5 and its sub-levels imdiately."

The other party had a human body and wore a neat black suit, but instead of a human head, it had a blue octopus.

Tentacles dangled around its chest, wiggling slightly.

Two crimson eyes on the octopus's head scrutinized him. To be honest, Yang Tao had never imagined he would one day be stared at by a grilled squid.

"Don't be nervous, I an no harm. I understand your actions. This hotel is my property, but it's simply too big, and the hygiene in so areas is truly indescribable."

"These bugs have settled in my hotel when I wasn't paying attention, causing you inconvenience. That is my dereliction of duty."

The other party's voice could fill one's heart with goodwill.

Yang Tao showed a very understanding expression and walked enthusiastically towards the other party: "I've heard your na, Gentleman."

"Other Wanderers always harbor ill will towards you. They just don't understand you. I also ran a hotel when I was in the Frontrooms, of course… not as luxurious as your inn."

"However, even so, I often had headaches over managent issues."

As he spoke, Yang Tao had already arrived in front of the Beast.

The other party's body was very tall and straight, over two ters in height. Yang Tao had to look up to et his gaze.

"Oh? I never thought I'd et a fellow professional here. Then we must have a good chat."

"Of course, but it's getting late. I think it's ti for the child to go to bed…"

Yang Tao's eyes narrowed slightly, dangerous light emanating from them, even though the Beast's HP above his head had reached 200,000…

This was not the kind of guy he should be encountering at this stage.

The Beast chuckled softly and said, "You're right, the child should go to bed early."

With that, he took a gentle step forward, revealing the wooden door behind him. His gaze was not on Harry at all; it remained fixed on Yang Tao from beginning to end.

Seeing the Beast act this way, Yang Tao also breathed a sigh of relief. He could continue playing with the Beast in front of him, but Harry couldn't; he only had one life.

"Gentleman is truly understanding. Harry, you go back first. Oh, and take this bucket of milk and drink it when you get back."

"With your height, you won't grow tall if you don't drink more milk."

Harry felt as if his body was filled with lead. The Beast beside him was giving him an inexplicable pressure, like a wild rabbit encountering a hawk. Even without deliberate targeting, the aura inadvertently emitted by such a predator was enough to make the prey tremble with fear.

He couldn't see the Beast's front directly, only its figure in his peripheral vision. No matter how he turned his head or moved his eyes, he could still only see him in his peripheral vision.

Seeing this, Yang Tao stepped forward and gently opened the wooden door, shoved the milk into his hand, and then pushed him in with force, instructing, "I'll discuss so things with Gentleman. Harry, you rest first."

Bang.

The wooden door closed.

The smile on Yang Tao's face instantly vanished. He turned around to look at the Beast beside him and said, "Gentleman, compared to discussing hotel managent, I'm more interested in the business you ntioned…"

"I wonder, what is the business you spoke of?"

"Heh heh, you are as direct as I imagined. I am a businessman, and I can see that you are very special!"

"Let's make a deal, just you and . Let's keep it our little secret, known only to heaven and earth, you and I. You just need to help with a few small things, it's nothing difficult…"

Yang Tao raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Oh?"

"Since you are a businessman, you should adhere to the most basic principle of exchange, shouldn't you?"

"Then… if I pay with my life, what price will you pay?"

The Beast: ???

Are we going to play this exciting from the start?

The Beast's deals were similar to a devil's contract. He would indeed help you with so things, but he would set countless traps within the agreent.

At the sa ti, his goal was always your everything.

"No, no, no, you are very special. Your life is of no use to . Comparatively, I would rather you help with so small favors."

"How about you co with to my 'office' to talk?"

Wanderers were strongly advised not to enter the Beast's "office," because all Wanderers who entered the "office" disappeared.

"Logically, I shouldn't refuse, but I still have so things to deal with. If possible, Gentleman, let's discuss it here."

Yang Tao disliked beating around the bush. He looked at the Beast's squid head and said very seriously, "What do I need to do for you, and what can I gain from you?"

The Beast was not angry at Yang Tao's refusal; instead, a hint of happiness appeared in his tone.

"It's simple…"

"I hope you can go to Level 14 and help find a book on a tree…"

As he spoke, he took his hand, which had been in his pocket, out. In his hand was a special glass bottle.

The bottle was made of fragile-looking transparent glass, with a reflective silver tal cap. Inside the bottle was a pale blue lightning bolt emitted by a bluish-green cloud.

Lightning in a Bottle.

A true luxury item in the Backrooms. There were many records about it, but 99% of the people in the Backrooms had never seen it with their own eyes.

For unknown reasons, most hostile Entities found Lightning in a Bottle extrely repulsive. Carrying Lightning in a Bottle could effectively reduce the probability of hostile Entities attacking you.

And once hostile Entities appeared nearby, the lightning in the bottle would jump faster and emit a more intense crackling sound. The closer the hostile Entity, the faster the lightning jumped, and the louder the noise produced by the current. This characteristic was quite useful for exploring so dark and more dangerous levels.

Lightning in a Bottle could significantly increase the owner's running speed and jumping height while greatly enhancing their strength.

And when the owner encountered a fatal attack from an Entity, there was a high probability of leaving a pale blue electric arc around the owner and imdiately teleporting the owner to a random safe location in Level 0.

It could be said that Lightning in a Bottle was the ultimate treasure, integrating warning, magnification, and life-saving capabilities.

But Yang Tao rely glanced at the crackling Lightning in a Bottle, a cold smile appearing on his face as he said, "Not enough!!"

"Level 14, Paradise. You should know better than I what kind of place that is."

"Lightning in a Bottle plus a Bottle of Abomination."

The Bottle of Abomination could be said to be the exact opposite of Lightning in a Bottle.

Carrying the Bottle of Abomination would significantly increase the probability of hostile Entities attacking you.

The Beast hesitated for a mont and finally nodded.

"Deal!"
