Gold is Justice

"I am an orphan, and my life has been very hard since I was a child. The root of many problems actually comes from 'poor', and the solution to many problems is actually how to become 'not poor'."

Out of the basement, Arrow went up the dilapidated staircase to the second floor.This place is divided into rooms one by one, but they are all dilapidated and smell musty.It looks like this bar used to function as a hotel, right?

Arrow rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning the dilapidated looking house.He walked outside the door familiarly, moved his luggage, took out his apron and put it on, and began to clean up the cobwebs and floating dust here.

"So, when I had the opportunity to enter Lao Tengshu Academy, I chose without hesitation the school faction that seemed to bring me a lot of wealth—the economics school."

Napa also floated over, and the flying dust seemed unable to stain its beautiful pale golden fur.Looking at the busy Ai Luo, the lazy cat let out a chuckle: "Old Tengshu Academy is most famous for its faction of tactics, and there are countless branches under this faction alone. Besides, it even has There are schools of magic that are extremely rare on the entire continent. But I don’t think you can be a warrior with your stature, and your soul doesn’t have any affinity with magic power. So...the school of economics? Haha.”

Arrow took out the rag, cleaned the bar cheerfully, took out a blanket from his package and folded it into a warm square on the bar.Finished, he smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Napa.

Napa's expression was a little hesitant, hesitating again and again, it still slowly landed on the cushion made of blankets.

The cat who has been lying on the rotting wooden floor for many years suddenly has a very weird feeling?It stretched out its paws, and after lightly stepping on the mat, it began to lie down on the mat very reassuringly, continuing to maintain its laziness.

"I was poor since I was a child, so I thought, since I majored in economics, then this faction must be able to tell me many ways to make money, make a lot of money, and make a lot of money easily? So I signed up very excitedly This faction. But..."

Thinking of the sad place, Arrow couldn't help feeling a little depressed.He sighed and said: "But I didn't understand until I graduated. The school of economics is not a discipline that teaches people how to make money. Compared with teaching people to make money, it focuses more on analyzing why other people make money and why they lose money. But The crux of the problem is... no one can guarantee to make money by copying other people's path, and sometimes it is even difficult to guarantee not to lose money."

Clean up the bar area, although it looks a bit old now, it will definitely be cleaned in time!

Looking at the place he cleaned with his own hands, Airl looked refreshed again, with a smile on his face.

Napa wagged her tail and looked at the girl curiously: "And then? You graduated, how did you come to such a place?"

Ai Luo giggled: "I don't know combat skills or magic. Since I can graduate from the Old Tengshu Academy, at least it proves that I have learned something? I have a scholarship of 100 gold coins in my hand, and I I also got a 'Guild Business License'. If that's the case, why don't I set up a business guild myself? Through my own efforts, maybe I can get rid of the fate of poverty!"

Will the cat believe it?

Arrow cared a little, but not too much.

In fact, there is no need to tell this monster of unknown origin about my own affairs. I believe it should not completely believe what a peasant girl of "unknown origin" says.

After all, 100 gold coins for a scholarship alone is an exaggeration. An ordinary farmer can only earn 2 gold coins a year at most.And how can an ordinary peasant girl get a guild management certificate issued by the empire?what!Even bards dare not write like that.

"Why don't you marry?"

Her long ears twitched, Napa raised her head, and glanced at Airl, who was busy with other things—"A woman who graduated from the Old Tengshu Academy, even if she was born as a commoner, it shouldn't be a problem to marry into a nobleman, right?" .And you're not bad looking, and in my opinion, this should be the fastest way for you to get out of poverty."

"Oh, isn't it?"

Airl lifted the chairs up carefully, and said with a smile——

"There are also many girls who study, but for the old Tengshu Academy, which generally only recruits nobles and royal families, the eldest ladies are looking for future husbands after entering. Even if there are few who study hard, after reading the book After you come out, you will get married, and the knowledge you have learned is basically just for chatting after dinner."

"However—"

Arrow put his hands on his hips, looking at the roughly cleaned first floor, with a smile looking forward to the future——

"I still don't like this way. I hope to be able to control my own destiny, instead of betting my future glory and wealth on a certain man. I have read so many books and learned so many things, and the end result is to be a certain man. The mistress of a noble young master? I don't want to waste my youth like this."

Airl spoke very happily, and seemed to be full of expectations for his future!

However, when the girl spoke so happily, she didn't know that the cat behind was staring at him silently.

The bright eyes no longer had that lazy look of contempt, but were full of thinking.Its eyes were full of doubts, and it complained about the joke of fate in its heart. Why did it wake up such an ordinary-looking girl?

But now, it seems to understand why.

"Let me tell you, I didn't come here casually. There's a mine nearby, right? Recently—"

Arrow turned around, only to find that the cat had fallen asleep now?It's a good thing I said so much nonsense just now.

But just when he was about to turn around and continue cleaning the house...

"Let's form an adventurer's guild."

Arrow looked back, thinking he had heard wrong.

But yes, the voice was indeed that of the cat.

He snorted: "You're mistaken, what I want to set up is a business guild. And I don't have combat skills, and I don't have magic..."

"Establish the Adventurer's Guild. Otherwise, I won't let you use this house."

Napa, who was sleeping with her eyes closed, still looked so listless, but her voice was very determined——

"But if you form the Adventurer's Guild, I will provide you with some help. Some help that you may never imagine."

Airl stopped what he was doing, and he turned to look at Napa, but he didn't say yes.

This kind of silence silenced Time and Light, who were dancing lively with each other, observing this seemingly ordinary peasant girl.

After thinking for a while, Airl finally came to the bar, looked at the kitten, and a slightly evil smile floated on the corner of his mouth——

"I was thinking, if I sell you, how much can I exchange for it? Although the illustrated book of natural resources is not very complete, there should still be many people wanting to buy such a cute monster like you, right?"

Napa, who was still very lazy at first, suddenly raised her spirits, her big eyes were full of vigilance: "Human, what do you mean?"

Airl spread his hands, showing a rogue smile: "Humans are creatures that can think, so under normal circumstances, humans will always choose to make choices that maximize their own interests. It's just that sometimes due to various The reason is that the optimal choices that human beings think they make are often not optimal. However, it should be true that all human actions are aimed at satisfying their own interests. Even a lunatic will use his own crazy The self-satisfaction of his own mind is in the interest of even the most noble man, who is willing to sacrifice himself for others."

Napa gradually arched her body, and she vaguely felt that the seemingly ordinary peasant girl in front of her was not as uncivilized as she imagined?

"So, all human behaviors are interests. In terms of extension, other thinking creatures should also be the same. They will choose the best choice for themselves after many weighings. And you, Napa, after you met me After thinking about it for a while, I think it’s the best solution for you to let me set up the Adventurer’s Guild. What do you think this means?”

The kitten's seemingly smooth body was now bristling with hairs.It even parted its mouth a little bit, revealing its small teeth to face the smirking Airl.

"The most basic point is that you can't create a well-functioning adventurer's guild with your own strength. You need a spokesperson, a spokesperson that can be used to help you meet certain interests."

"I'm just an ordinary poor girl, not to mention the Adventurer's Guild, I don't even have business guild management experience. After a completely inexperienced person accepts your suggestion, he will naturally need to follow your advice. The guidance of the seniors. When the time comes, you let me go east and go east, and let me go west and go west, but I may have no idea what the purpose of doing these things is."

"The opacity of information often means that the risk of business has risen sharply, and there is even a huge possibility of being deceived."

Speaking of which, Airl simply lay down on the bar counter, pointed his head at the cat, and smiled—"So, I already know that you have certain expectations for me, but I don't know this kind of expectation." What does it mean to me. Instead of letting you stay in my store as an unstable factor, don't you think it's the best solution for me to sell you for money? "

Seeing Airl's head so close, Napa knew she could draw three bloodstains across the face with a single paw.

But in the face of an ordinary poor man, such behavior is a bit too petty.

Napa slowly calmed down her hair, thought for a while and said, "This is the first time I've heard someone say 'distrust' so clearly. Are you really sure that your economics didn't teach you how to do business? "

Ai Luo frowned and sighed: "No~~~ I originally thought that economics would teach me how to buy goods, how to settle accounts, how to reduce the amount of tax payment, which things are easy to sell and which things need to be hoarded. But I didn't know until graduation I haven't learned anything about it."

He stretched out his hand, touched Napa's paw lightly, and said with a smile: "However, trust comes from exchange. When both parties can use their own materials to continuously exchange with each other, and the results make both parties feel satisfied Then, trust is born. This kind of material can be specific things, feelings, and communication. So in simple terms, trust is also a kind of commercial value.”

"If Napa wants to gain my trust, then she must also offer some material in exchange."

There was suspicion in Napa's eyes. It was supposed to blackmail the girl, but she didn't expect the little girl to beat her up now, asking herself if she wanted something?

"...What will you do if I don't agree to exchange with you, or exchange with something very worthless."

Ai Luo straightened up, put his hands on his hips, and said with a smile: "It is said to be an exchange, but in fact I am weighing my value in your eyes. How much do you expect me to be your agent to take care of the adventurers in your mouth?" As for the guild, I am worth as much. Of course, the value in the eyes of Warcraft and the value of human beings may be different, so let me tell you my expectations in order to show my sincerity."

As he said that, Airl stretched out three fingers, and the expression that was showing a rogue smile instantly became serious, and said very solemnly——

"Three years, 1000 gold coins."

"Excluding the 15 gold coins for buying this house and the travel and meal expenses to Pelican Town, if I can't earn enough 1000 gold coins in the 'Holy Night Festival' three years later, it will have a great impact on my future life. Huge negative impact. What exactly is it... This is my own secret."

Napa looked into Airl's eyes, in which she saw no lie.This girl is really thinking about 3 gold coins for 1000 years.

After a moment of silence, Napa finally nodded slightly.Its body floated up again, and some golden light radiated from its body.

Arrow is curious, but soon he knows what's going on!

Under the shroud of this golden light, the dilapidated house slowly became clean!The thick dust and cobwebs entangled inside and out gradually disappeared, and the broken wooden boards seemed to grow with life, blocking the hole.

In just a few minutes, the space on the first floor has become completely new!The candles on the candlesticks were lit, and the tables and chairs were arranged neatly. Except that there was no wine on the cabinets, it looked like a tavern that had just been renovated and was about to open!

"call……"

Napa's body landed on the cushion again. It looked a little weak, and its eyes were not as wide as they were just now. Its back undulated violently as it lay on its stomach, obviously exhausted.

"I can't give you 1000 gold coins, and I didn't get them on the second floor or the basement. But...is this result enough to exchange your 'trust'? If...if you agree...in the future...I can give you... More... more... more... Zzzzz..."

Its voice seemed weak, and it was no longer as lazy as it was just now.At the back, the kitten lay on the cushion and never spoke again.

Airl looked at the clean first floor, and at Napa now.

He stretched out his hand, gently held Napa's little paw, and shook it up and down a little.

"make a deal."

Even though Napa is unconscious now, this promise has already been made.

As Airl said, trust comes from exchange.

But it's not because the little monster cleaned up the entire first floor.

He clearly heard that he might sell it for money. As a monster, he could easily solve himself as an ordinary human being, but he still exhausted his magic power and turned into this state of being slaughtered by himself. It really matters.

"Since you think my value is so great that you are even willing to gamble with your life, what else can I say? The vice president of the Adventurer's Guild."

He reached out and touched Napa's head lightly. It was soft and cute.

Chapter 2 This is also a service industry

In the morning, Arrow lifted his patched quilt and got up.

This room was the least damaged of all the rooms on the second floor, and it faced the street, so Airl made it his own.

Looking out at the street through the window while changing clothes, the early morning in Pelican Town is very quiet, not at all like the capital city that is already busy before dawn.Get dressed, put your hair back together, and put on your hat.Airl glanced at the mirror, nodded after confirming that he was an ordinary guy, opened the door, and went downstairs.

After three days of tidying up, the layout of the tavern on the first floor has almost been remodeled. The wine rack behind the bar counter has been changed into a cabinet for storing documents, the bar counter has been changed into a reception desk for accepting commissions and placing tasks, and on the wall next to the entrance of the gate is a It was a wooden board that was hung up to post the power of attorney.

Tables and chairs are placed in the corner as a resting place.

Although it is simple, the appearance of a guild can be regarded as completed.

Turning his head away, Airl glanced at Napa who was still lying on the reception desk.The cat hadn't talked to him since tidying up the first floor three days ago, and even after waking up, he lay there wagging his tail.

of course there are exceptions.After Airl had prepared his morning, lunch and evening meals, the cat would spontaneously come to him and ask for some.

As for how to set up an adventurer's guild in its mouth, the cat didn't mention a word.

"Hello, Napa."

Holding a bowl of milk porridge in front of Napa, Elora sat down on a bar chair and said with a smile——

"You said before that you would help me build the Adventurer's Guild. It's been three days. Do you have any ideas?"

Napa slightly raised her head and glanced at Airl, showing a little vigilance and disdain, but also a little laziness.However, the cat's body was very honest, and it walked slowly to the milk porridge and began to eat it.

"Won't you answer me? All right."
