He saw Gu He's eyes, a deep black, just like Gu He's in the previous world.
She was exactly the same as Gu Yunzhou.
He patted Gu He's head and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing Ji Zhaoming's agreement, Gu He chuckled and glanced in Gu Yunzhou's direction.
Everything is understood without words.
Gu He patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I eat very little!"
Gu Yunzhou completely ignored Gu He.
He pulled Ji Zhaoming up, then knelt before him, extending his hand in invitation: "Master, would you like to come back to the castle with me?"
The moment he saw Ji Zhaoming, he wanted to take him back to his castle.
—Oh, but I might need Gu He's help to find the way.
The city lord forgot how to get back the day he saw Ji Zhaoming.
But it doesn't matter, the Little Prince will always find his way home.
Gu Yunzhou's eyes were like an indelible ink, and anyone who entered his eyes would be stained with black.
Ji Zhaoming was the only exception.
A note from the author:
Gu He, the spoiled brat (pointing and whispering).

Chapter 35
Don't you have your own way of being affectionate?
Since he had nowhere else to go, Ji Zhaoming was free to go anywhere.
The only problem was that Gu Yunzhou had forgotten where his territory was, so he could only turn his attention to Gu He.
Gu He raised his eyebrows and said fiercely, "What are you looking at me for? Do you need me to lead the way? Don't you know the way? Besides, your castle is gloomy and eerie, not as good as my house."
He echoed Gu Yunzhou's address, saying, "Master, why don't you come to my place? Don't be fooled by the fact that it's a well; it's actually quite spacious inside. I... I can build you a castle!"
Ji Zhaoming smiled and patted Gu He's head.
He didn't take it as a child's joke, but thought about it seriously before saying, "Well, Gu Yunzhou also has a lot of things to deal with."
“Him?” Gu He sneered, “A hands-off manager.”
Gu He seemed fearless, showing no mercy when confronting their city lord.
This made Ji Zhaoming curious about what kind of planet a garbage planet was.
Gu He still had some things to take, so the three of them decided to go back to Gu He's house first.
Just as Gu He said, the space inside the well is very large. The garbage planet is a wasteland, but the well seems to be unaffected by the garbage planet, and is as quiet as another place.
Gu He's house even has an old phonograph, which no longer has any discs.
The cabinet was filled with books, making it one of the few clean places in the entire house.
Judging from the decorations inside the house, Gu He's previous generation must have been quite prominent, but for some reason they moved to a garbage planet.
Gu He grew up on a garbage planet and had no concept of these things, but these things were left to him by his parents. Even though food and drink were a problem, Gu He would still clean these places.
But Gu He was too lazy to move the rest of the space.
It wasn't until he saw Ji Zhaoming standing in the dirty room that Gu He's face turned red, which was rare for him: "Well, I forgot to clean recently. Of course, if the owner is willing to move in, I guarantee I will clean it spotless, and it will definitely be better than the aesthetics of a certain city lord."
They didn't forget to put down Gu Yunzhou.
Gu Yunzhou, hands in his pockets, glanced at Gu He: "Don't you have your own words? Why do you have to copy other people's titles?"
Gu He glared angrily at Gu Yunzhou.
Thinking of something, he chuckled and changed his address, saying, "Then, Your Majesty, I'll call you Your Majesty. You are my Your Majesty."
Thinking about it this way, the title "master" is too common and can't compare to his idea.
Gu He sincerely called out, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, I will finish cleaning right away."
The house inside the well was hidden deep inside, and most people wouldn't be able to find it, but just in case, Gu He still put several locks on the things.
Although this place is extremely poor, the only things that can be stolen are worthless to a garbage planet.
Food, water, weapons, inhibitors, and nutrient solutions—these are the most valuable things on a garbage planet.
Gu Hesheng was so thin that his shoulders looked like they could collapse at any moment. Even though there were only two or three pieces of clothing packed in his bag, Ji Zhaoming still trembled a few times when they were pressed down on his shoulders.
Ji Zhaoming reached out and took the package from Gu He: "Let me help you."
Gu He turned to the side, chuckled, revealing his white teeth: "No need. Don't let my malnourished appearance fool you, I'm actually quite strong. Don't look down on me, Wang. I guarantee you'll get your money's worth."
At this point, he said, "Oh right, wait a minute!"
Gu He took out a crumpled piece of paper from his chest, then took out a pen and handed it to Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming took the paper and asked curiously, "Hmm? What's this?"
Gu He opened his eyes wide, first looking at Ji Zhaoming in disbelief, then at Gu Yunzhou.
Seemingly remembering something, Gu He blinked and looked at Ji Zhaoming with a pitiful expression: "Hmm? This is a bounty hunter's contract. Oh, I see. The city lord gave you the version with a quantum computer, right? But I don't have a quantum computer. I will definitely make up for it when I earn enough money. Please don't look down on me, Your Majesty."
It seems that he would burst into tears immediately if Ji Zhaoming refused.
The contract contained only a few clauses and was very simple. It stated that Gu He, as a bounty hunter, should protect the employer's life. In addition, a few other tasks were listed, but no specific details were given; they were just small numbers.
As for what Ji Zhaoming is going to do, it is still not written.
Gu He clearly noticed the irregular-looking contract, his face fell, and he snatched the paper from Ji Zhaoming's hand, quickly writing a few words on it.
1. As a bounty hunter, Gu He is responsible for protecting his employer's safety.
2. Gu He is required to obey all orders from his employer.
3. Gu He must not sell any information about his employer, and all tasks performed must be kept strictly confidential.
4. In return, the employer must ensure Gu He has one meal a day (this condition may be relaxed in special circumstances).
After writing this, Gu He nodded in satisfaction and handed the contract back to Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming had no idea how expensive the food was here.
But looking at this treaty alone, it is indeed as Gu Yunzhou said.
Life is worthless here.
But is it possible to recruit a powerful bounty hunter like Gu He with just one meal a day, with exceptions for special circumstances?
Before Ji Zhaoming could speak, Gu Yunzhou pulled the slip of paper in front of him, quickly glanced at it, and said indifferently, "One bottle of nutrient solution costs 100 star coins. Three bottles of nutrient solution can guarantee three meals a day. Although 300 star coins is not cheap, it is not expensive either. For an ordinary person, the daily income is about 300 star coins."
He paused, then continued, "But even the cheapest bounty hunters earn 1,000 star coins a day, especially someone of your level."
Gu Yunzhou's gaze lingered on Gu He's pocket for a moment.
There was a small medal visible there, and unlike Gu He's tattered clothes, the medal was even plated with a thin layer of gold.
It's important to know that even on a garbage planet, gold is one of the most valuable resources.
That's the highest-ranking characteristic of a bounty hunter; the gold plating signifies that "a bounty hunter can protect his treasure at any time," a recognition of their abilities.
Gu Yunzhou didn't finish his sentence, but asked instead, "Bounty hunters never work for free. What exactly do you want?"
Ji Zhaoming was the first treasure he discovered, and he couldn't let anyone take it away for no reason.
Gu He smiled and said, "I don't want anything."
Gu Yunzhou returned the contract to Gu He and turned to leave with Ji Zhaoming, saying, "Not wanting anything is the most expensive thing."
History has proven to everyone that those who start without charging a fee are the ones who end up spending the most money.
For example, free games.
Seeing that the person was really about to leave, Gu He quickly caught up and said with a troubled expression, "Okay, okay, I confess. What I took is the future."
Hmm? That's a novel way of putting it.
Gu He looked at Ji Zhaoming seriously and said slowly, "I don't just call him king for show. I think he can be my king."
Bounty hunters only work for money.
However, there is also a very small chance that they will identify with one person as their master and regard him as their king.
This is a gamble, a gamble on the future.
From the moment Gu He first saw Ji Zhaoming, he felt that he was willing to follow Ji Zhaoming to find a future that belonged to the garbage planet—a future that belonged to them.
From that moment on, Ji Zhaoming's future was his future.
In a sense, this burden was indeed very heavy, so he did not choose to tell Ji Zhaoming and gave him a half-baked contract.
He gave Ji Zhaoming room to escape.
Bounty hunters are never afraid of their king running away.
If you run away, it only means that this isn't a future you can gamble your whole life on.
Gu He smiled ingratiatingly: "Actually, I didn't intend to tell you so soon. Don't worry, this is just a regular contract. When the time comes, a new contract will be issued."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Use the quantum computer to type it!"
He, the bounty hunter Gu He, cannot be worse than Gu Yunzhou.
Bounty hunters aren't afraid of their king running away, but they are still afraid that their king won't choose them.
This means that all the details have been explained.
Gu Yunzhou and Gu He both looked at Ji Zhaoming.
Ji Zhaoming smiled and added a clause at the end of the contract:
If Gu He is dissatisfied with his employer, he may terminate the contract at any time.
Ji Zhaoming certainly didn't want to take responsibility for other people's future.
