Chapter 409
Chapter 410 A Trap
Above the head of a young life-skill player, a number popped up-1,000,000 for 10 years.
The Serpent of Greed slid closer and hissed, “The ritual begins. Everyone pays ten years of life, but the reward is huge. Ten years gives you 1,000,000. Fifty years gives you 5,000,000.
“Keeping your lifespan now is pointless. You might as well trade it and buy a Silver-tier piece of gear. Once you clear stronger dungeons, you’ll earn it back quickly. Sounds good, right p>
“B-but I’m a life-skill player!” someone said nervously.
“Then you can just enjoy life without working!” the serpent replied.
Someone else asked, “Why not borrow money instead? If we need Starcoins, we can take a loan instead of trading our lives p>
The Serpent of Greed laughed softly. “Because loans have to be paid back p>
As it said that, its eyes
locked on the person who spoke.
She was a beautiful human woman. It hadn’t noticed her before. But now, the number floating above her head was rising fast.
The endless zeros made the Serpent of Greed freeze.
Fear suddenly twisted inside it.
In its understanding, money meant strength. If Joanna could earn that terrifying amount in ten years, her power had to be unbelievably high.
Something was wrong. It had fallen straight into a trap.
The Serpent of Greed tried to retreat, but Joanna calmly said, “Alright. I’ll trade ten years of my life for Starcoins p>
At the same moment, she activated a skill she had taken from Garfield-No-Loss Principle.
“No-Loss Principle (Dark Gold-tier); During transactions, you’ll never take a loss. If the other party fails to meet the conditions of a fair trade, compensation of higher value will be provided p>
Joanna had massive credit at the academy, so all her skills had been upgraded to Legendary- tier. She wasn’t someone a so-called evil god could ignore.
As soon as she finished speaking, the Serpent of Greed’s body twisted. The jar on its back tilted,

and a flood of Starcoins poured out.
That jar was obviously a spatial item with huge storage. Starcoins quickly piled into a shining.
hill.
Joanna glanced at Nighthowl. He bent space and opened a gateway in the ground to the Stellar Dominion. It spun like a vortex and swallowed every coin.
Splash!
The falling Starcoins shocked all the nearby cultists. But what truly crushed them was the number above Joanna’s head.
They could only earn 1,000,000 Starcoins in ten years.
But Joanna’s wealth was still climbing higher.
“Fifty quadrillion! S-she can earn that much in ten years p>
A cultist tied nearby finished counting and screamed.
More importantly, the number already showed 50 quadrillion, but the digits kept rising. The count clearly wasn’t finished.
Yet the trade between Joanna and the Serpent of Greed had already started.
The Serpent of Greed kept dumping Starcoins. Joanna felt her lifespan shorten slightly, just a faint pull.
The huge mountain of coins looked massive, but it wasn’t actually enough.
As more Starcoins spilled out, the Serpent of Greed’s phantom started to fade.
“Damn you!” It glared at Joanna with killing intent. But the trade followed the evil god’s rules. It couldn’t stop midway. Breaking it would cause backlash.
All it could do was grit its teeth and draw more power from its real body. In an instant, it larger, and the jar expanded with it.
grew
The floating serpent, which had been only three feet wide, grew to six feet. Its head now looked as big as a train engine,
Even more Starcoins poured down like a white waterfall.
Soon, even the new power couldn’t keep up with the endless demand.
No matter how much it paid, Joanna’s earning value still seemed higher. The number above her

head kept rising.
“H-how is this possible? Who are you?! Aren’t you just a human who has lived only 19 years p>
She’s so young. How can she earn so much?
Joanna replied, “That’s none of your business. If you want to buy my lifespan, you’d better be able to pay the price p>
The Serpent of Greed roared again. Its body swelled even bigger, now 15 feet wide. Its coils were stacked together, making it impossible to see how large it truly was. It looked like a golden cloud covering the sky.
The tangled body and thick scales made everyone shiver.
Meanwhile, the Starcoins kept pouring down like a slanted waterfall.
For a moment, the scene looked strangely beautiful and extremely terrifying.
Most importantly, the amount of Starcoins involved was so ridiculous that the trade had already lasted half an hour.
That meant Joanna had completely locked an evil god in place for 30 minutes without dying.
For most professionals, that alone would be considered a miracle.
And she hadn’t offered even a single point of Faith Power, which meant she wasn’t a cultist. Normally, any evil god would have tried to kill her immediately.
