Chapter 53: What happens when you try to corrupt a prince?

“Have you ever heard about life-sacrifice?” the sacrifice salesman said.

Telepatian looked pale and sweaty.

“Jack, let’s leave! P-Please!” Telepatian said.

“Bro, chill. I ain’t no stupid bitch. What is a life-sacrifice anyways?” Jack said.

“It is where you sacrifice your potential lifespan for a direct skill. For example, increased luck. And to play on the previous example: Being able to potentially live 10 years longer is good, but worthless if you happen to get murdered tomorrow. My basic scan of you revealed that you live a very, very dangerous life. You don’t get the serial killer title easily in life without a little risk, I must say. So, what shall it be? Do you accept my offer?” the sacrifice salesman said.

“What do you get out of this? Are you gonna get like one year of my lifespan?” Jack said.

“No, I just take a normal payment fee in cash,” the salesman said.

“Hmm… yo, my dude, can I borrow some cash?” Jack said.

“N-No!” Telepatian said.

“Why not? What’s so wrong?” Jack said.

“My dad said to never do a sacrifice trade! It ruins your balance. Sacrifices are the most disgusting thing in the world,” Telepatian said.

“Well, dear snake oil salesman. It appears that I am poor,” Jack said.

“We can do installments or you can sacrifice something minor as my payment,” the salesmen said.

“You lost me at installments. See you later alligator,” Jack said.

Telepatian looked extremely relieved.

“Okay, maybe we should head back home–”

“Yo, snakeoil man, do you know any high-end brothels around here?” Jack said.

…

“Don’t be a pussy. You’re gonna pop your cherry anyways some day. Might as well do it now. And of course pay for me too, your esteemed human visitor from Earth,” Jack said.

“I don’t know… I’ve never tried something like this before, Jack,” Telepatian said.

“No way you don’t stare at those hot ass maids! Yeah, especially the blonde one, right? What’s wrong with a lil fun? you could die tomorrow, you know? Like how you almost got me killed twice,” Jack said.

Telepatian did not almost get Jack killed twice. There were imperial level engravings installed everywhere he went which would have resurrected him if he ever died.

“But, what if we get in trouble?” Telepatian said.

“I proooomise nothin’ll happen! Stop being a little bitch. Let’s do it!” Jack said.

“O-Okay…” Telepatian said.

The brothel looked like an expensive building. Luckily for Jack, Telepatian had more than enough cash on him.

“Yo, gimme half now,” Jack said.

“Ehm… okay, here,” Telepatian said.

The amount of dryad crystals Telepatian handed Jack was enough to buy the entire building with. But Telepatian had no idea what the local prices were for things.

As soon as they tried to enter, the bouncer stopped them.

“Yeah buddies, you two turn around now. You can’t afford this place,” the bouncer said.

Jack showed off a few crystals.

The bouncer’s eyes widened.

“I am sorry, gentlemen, please enter this way,” the bouncer said.

“Thank you,” Jack said.

As soon as they entered the building, the guard went over to a nearby police station and informed them about what he saw.

“Greetings, dear visitors. We request payments first before we show you to the selection room. The introductory payment for two persons is 5000 crystals,” the receptionist lady said.

“Yo, how many of these is 5000?” Jack said.

Telepatian shrugged his shoulders.

Jack took out five pieces of imperial level crystals and gave it to the receptionist. She placed them on the mana counter and it showed the crystals were worth way more than 5000 but not how much they were worth.

“Thank you, dear visitors. Please make your way to the selection room down the hall,” the receptionist said.

“Thank you,” Jack said.

They walked to the room.

“You excited to pop your cherry?” Jack said.

“O-Of course not…” Telepatian said. “I don’t care. I’m just doing this because you told me to and you’re my best friend,” Telepatian said.

“Hahah, that sounds gay,” Jack said.

Challenge completed: Royal corruption

Reward: Increased Persuasiveness: Rank 5

Jack laughed out loud but didn’t tell Telepatian what he got.

The selection room was filled with extremely beautiful dryad women.

“Yo, which one of you bitches wanna pop my boy’s cherry?” Jack said.

“Oh, what race are you? I’ve never had someone like you?” one of the dryads said.

“I can do the boy! Pick me!” another dryad said.

“I’m a human. Yo, you want her?” Jack said, pointing at the dryad who offered herself.

Telepatian nervously nodded.

“Okay, take him to your room! Make me proud!” Jack said.

The dryad went over to Telepatian, kissed him on the cheek, and took his hand and led him away.

“Okay, I can handle three. You, and you, and you,” Jack said, while pointing at the three dryads with the biggest boobs and prettiest faces.

…

While Jack was engaged in extracurricular activities, a squad of archmages crashed into his room.

Archmage Gragri cast a temporal stop spell on Jack.

“Do. You. Have. Any. Fucking. Idea what you have done? I’m gonna love what we are gonna do to you, stupid animal,” Gragri said.
