Kevin, in Charge of Holding the Welcome Party Sign

Why?

"Do you think I look like someone who's short of money?" Chen Luo sneered.

As someone who possesses the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion, Chen Luo would never lack money as long as he lived in modern society.

There are always many rich and unscrupulous people in the world, or people who commit crimes by abusing their power and resources, and now we live in an internet society.

Chen Luo could send their money to impoverished mountain areas or return illegally obtained money and property to their rightful owners without even lifting a finger, while also taking a cut of the bank interest.

If the evidence of their crimes happens to be online, Chen Luo can also report it to the police.

Not happy? If you're not happy, then go ahead and hit me through the internet cable.

Well, if they deposit their money in banks that charge management fees, then there's nothing that can be done.

At worst, Chen Luo can become a volunteer police officer for free.

Perhaps for every day the Raven earns, a millionaire will be caught.

In a way, the Raven has done a great service.

"So, if I want to exchange for a villa island, how many work points would I need?" Raven couldn't help but ask.

Raven finally figured it out. Since Chen Luo said he could do anything, wouldn't it be alright for Raven to ask Chen Luo to buy her a villa island?

"At least 1200 points," Chen Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"How much?" Raven's voice rose considerably.

"1200 points?"

Chen Luo was startled.

Have I said too much?

At the rate at which the Raven converts points, around 60 per day, it would take about 20 days to accumulate 1200 points.

Is 20 days a lot?

Chen Luo suddenly felt a little worried.

I wonder if Raven thinks he's some kind of heartless boss.

"So little? You sell one work point for $200, 1200 work points, and you can buy a villa island? What kind of money-making idea is that?" Raven said in disbelief.

If you only exchange it for US dollars, 1200 work points would be worth at most US$240,000. You have to know how many years it took Raven to save up enough money to buy a villa island.

How many $240,000s are there?

"What are you so surprised about?" Chen Luo retorted.

Do you know that those ten fake gems you threw on the table like trash could easily be exchanged for a villa or island in Schicksal by taking just one of them?

Such a stable, low-output miniature Herrscher Core, which can last for at least six months, is certainly not as good as the original Herrscher Core. However, it can be used to create a special armor, drive a special item, or even conduct human experiments.

In short, scarcity increases value.

If you put out 10, then... you can only exchange them for a villa island.

Sometimes, more isn't always better.

What is unique is the most precious.

"Um, Luo, could you... could you give me back the 10 work points for driving and giving massages?" Raven hesitated for a moment before stammering as she asked Chen Luo.

"..."

This thing even comes with a return option?

You really have the nerve to ask that?

"Can't I just give you a massage 10 times?" Raven said, somewhat annoyed.

Raven had no idea this guild was so valuable.

If it were only worth $200, then spending 10 work points would be fine, but now 10 work points are worth 1/120th of a villa island.

"No."

"Tch, you stingy person."

"And I'm talking about a villa island that's at least 1200 work points."

"Oh, you're raising prices on the spot? Don't go too far."

"What do you mean by raising prices on the spot? You've been eyeing villa islands for so long, don't you know that different villa islands have different prices? Who knows what kind of villa island you're going to choose?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Raven.

"Oh, right. The villa island I want to buy is actually located in..." Raven began to describe the specific location and price of the villa island she wanted to buy.

At least in this respect, Raven wouldn't lie to Chen Luo. Otherwise, if he were found to be lying, Chen Luo would definitely raise the price again.

"800 work points, no bargaining." After making an estimate, Chen Luo gave the final price.

"So few? It's not even 1200 yet!" Raven exclaimed in surprise.

"I haven't finished yet. I'll sell you half of this island for 800 work points, and you'll have to pay for the other half yourself. This is to let you know how hard it was to get this island," Chen Luo said.

"Half the price... no problem, I've already saved up half the money. If I only spend half, I'll still have a lot left over." This long journey of saving money has allowed Raven to accumulate quite a bit of savings. Although it's not enough to buy the entire island yet, it's already half of it.

"In that case, the deal is done." Chen Luo extended his hand.

"Deal." Raven grasped Chen Luo's hand.

"But you're really something. Couldn't you have just said this sooner? If I had known, I wouldn't have asked Grey Serpent for the seaside villa in the first place. But never mind, the villa island is still a bit sparsely populated. Let's go there in a while."

"But it will take a long time to accumulate 800 work points," Raven said, somewhat troubled.

Earning 60 yuan a day with 800 work points takes about 13 days.

"How about this, you return the 10 fake gems I gave you yesterday, and I can reduce your work points by 100, plus activate the interest-free loan service, how about that?" Chen Luo asked.

"Ah, that's fine, but didn't you already give it to me? Why do I need to buy it back?" Raven asked, puzzled.

"You have the nerve to ask me? After I gave you those 10 gems, you just threw them on the table and ignored them. Is that how you treat precious items? If you don't want them, I don't want to give them to you either." Chen Luo snorted coldly.

This fake gem can be used not only as a hair dryer, but also as a spellcasting material. If Raven doesn't want it, Chen Luo won't give it to her.

"What precious item? Didn't you say yourself? This is a fake. Fake gems don't have much explosive power. Do you expect me to treat it like a precious artifact?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

Besides, how valuable can something that can be given as a tip to 10 people be?

However, Raven was quite pleased that Chen Luo was willing to buy it back.

At least unlike some people, if they change their minds, they will simply demand their money back without even offering compensation.

Chapter 236 Brother Jie in charge of carrying the welcome party light sticks

"Although Aro isn't fully Aro yet, he seems even more fun. But what about our welcome party? I feel like if Aro isn't Aro, the welcome party will become really awkward," Elysia said, sounding a little troubled.

Elysia designed that welcome party, considering all the possibilities, but she never considered the possibility that Alo might not be Alo.

"Hold a welcome party?" Chen Luo asked.

"Yes, there was supposed to be a welcome party for you, but it seems like it's not going to work out right now," Elysia sighed.

"Can't hold it? No problem, hold it at my bar. My bar is huge, perfect for all kinds of welcome parties, as long as you don't mind having a new customer every now and then. But my customers usually come in the evening, it's still early now," Chen Luo suggested.

"And as long as you're not too big, you can go to the bar, regardless of whether you're a memory device or not." Chen Luo was frantically promoting his bar.

"Memory core? Bar? Great!" Elysia stroked her chin and pondered for a few seconds before answering happily.

"That bar is the one Ling mentioned, the one where you can travel through the world, right? I've been curious about it for a long time," Elysia said.

"Wait, haven't you guys ever been to a bar?" Chen Luo asked, quite surprised.

Did my past self, or rather my future self, never invite them to a bar?

That's really outrageous. Chen Luo originally thought they should all know about bars.

"Who should you ask? Shouldn't you ask yourself? Why didn't you invite us to the magical bar?" Elysia suddenly leaned closer to Chen Luo poked his chest.

"Uh..." Chen Luo took a step back after being poked twice and began to think.

It seems that, perhaps, maybe... if he really had a choice, Chen Luo would definitely not have brought them to the bar.

Bringing them to the bar inevitably raises the question of what kind of clash will occur when the current Elysia meets the former Elysia. If such a thing happens, Chen Luo doesn't believe that nothing has changed in the past.

So the only solution is either to prevent the future Elysia and her friends from going to bars, or to prevent the past Elysia and her friends from going to bars.

Obviously, from the bar owner's perspective, it's better to let Elysia and the others come to the bar in the future, mainly because Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Theresa, Himeko and the others come to the bar every day.

In this back-and-forth exchange, what if some information is exchanged...?

And there's also Otto lurking around, eyeing the place like a hawk. Starting last night, Otto has been coming to the bar at 9 p. m. sharp, ordering a drink and sitting in a corner, slowly sipping it and observing the bar's customers.

Tsk tsk...

Therefore, from a generally rational perspective, it is quite normal that Elysia and the others did not know about bars.

Because there are many benefits to not telling them about the bar.

"Although it seems a bit strange to throw a welcome party for you at your bar, I'll let it slide because of the bar's magical reputation. Hurry up and open the bar door, didn't you say you could summon me anytime?" Elysia tugged at Chen Luo's clothes, urging him on.

"Understood." Chen Luo was being shaken by Elysia, who simultaneously summoned him out of the bar.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Elysia exclaimed in surprise.

"Bang!" But before the bar could even open its doors, a loud bang, or rather, the sound of a door being kicked open, suddenly came from the back.

"Are you coming in or not? What are you talking about?" an angry voice rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, the Raven was instantly reminded of some unpleasant memories.

Like Li, a man filled with rage, Chijie.

The Raven cautiously turned its head, forcing itself to face the person it had once refused to see, and then Raven was dumbfounded.

"???"

What happened?

What happened?

What happened?

Why are there two light sticks on Chijie's shoulders?

Welcome home, Lolo!?????

Do you miss us? ( *ˊ?ˋ)??

"???"

"???"

It felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through the Raven's mind.

Hey, is this still the same Chijie I know who's always cursing and swearing?

His tone was as violent as ever.

He was wearing a mask on his head as always.

But it just seems so absurd.

Is this truly Chijie? Has he truly not been possessed?

The Raven was completely dumbfounded.

Not to mention Raven, Chen Luo was the same.

What kind of situation hasn't Chen Luo seen?

I've never seen anything like this before!

Is this still the same Chijie from the story I watched?

Saying it was jaw-dropping is an understatement.

That's ridiculous.
