The Wage Bill Delinquent for Fifty Thousand Years...

"Pardo, this is indeed the contract I signed, so I will naturally abide by it." Looking at the contract, Chen Luo sighed.

"Really?" Pardo looked at Chen Luo with some surprise.

Although Chen Luo had only ever fooled Pardo in the past and had never had any disputes over wages, Pardo was already considering cutting Chen Luo's pay.

After all, a salary of 50,000 yuan a year is indeed a bit difficult for people.

But what Chen Luo said did surprise Pardo somewhat.

After all, if she paid in full, Pardo would instantly become the second richest person in the entire Elysian Realm, after Eden.

As for when he will become the richest person?

If we're talking about salary levels, then overdrafting 80,000 years in advance would probably be about right.

"Um, we also have a contract, Alo, have you forgotten?" Elysia suddenly raised her hand.

"Oh, what kind of contract do we have?" Chen Luo glanced at Elysia.

"That's right, as long as I forgive you for putting the sack on me, you'll give me the Cat Teaser Stick," Elysia said after thinking for a moment.

Elysia had never realized that Chen Luo was such a person who kept his promises. In that case, perhaps this was a good starting point.

As for contracts... why not just forge one based on Pardo's contract?

You could try contacting Vill-V for help with this.

"Oh, really? As long as you produce the contract, I will absolutely comply." Chen Luo said, flicking the contract as he spoke.

The contract belonging to Pardo instantly began to move without any wind, and Chen Luo's Book of Contracts also appeared.

After flipping through sixty or seventy pages, the contract slowly floated up and was inserted into the Book of Contracts.

"Uh, okay, I was just kidding."

Elysia suddenly realized that with Vill-V's skills, she probably couldn't create such a cool effect.

However, come to think of it, I do seem to have signed a contract with Chen Luo.

But it's not about Cat Teaser Stick.

Chapter 440 A wage bill that's been owed for 50,000 years...

"Let me calculate. Since we're calculating the salary over these 50,000 years based on 1/4 of your salary, then let's calculate based on your final salary level..." Pardo Felice said, and actually started calculating.

"Pardo, there's something I have to tell you. Did you notice the last clause of the contract?"

"Huh? What last one?" Pardo was taken aback.

"The final interpretation right belongs to Chen Luo," Chen Luo said, pointing to the lower right corner of the contract.

"Huh? Where are the words?" Pardo asked, puzzled.

"Use a magnifying glass to look at it." Chen Luo kindly provided a magnifying glass.

"!!!" When Pardo took the magnifying glass and looked at the lower right corner of the contract as Chen Luo instructed, she did indeed find this line.

But the character was so small that even with a magnifying glass, it was still pitifully small.

The Raven, who was watching the show from the sidelines, felt a jolt in its heart upon seeing this.

Damn it, could my contract also have this clause?

"Don't overthink it. The first contract I signed didn't involve any of these weird things. And don't tell anyone," Chen Luo suddenly said to Raven.

Chen Luo immediately understood what Raven was thinking.

"..."

Since Chen Luo was the most powerful person in the bar, Raven could not refute Chen Luo on this matter according to the contract.

"Waaaaah, boss, you're not going to withhold my wages, are you?"

"No, no, that's obviously a dirty trick I would use later on."

Chen Luo really didn't expect this kind of operation to happen.

"But it's not a big problem. I'm not the kind of person who would delay paying wages. Here's the thing, it's really a bit difficult for you to ask me to come up with 50,000 years' worth of wages right now."

"But since you're my employee, and I've always treated my employees well... how about this, I'll pay you half of my current salary each month. One-quarter of that will go towards paying off debts, and the other quarter will be used to pay your salary starting now, how does that sound?"

"When I ever make a big score, I'll use it to pay off your debt first. How about that?" Chen Luo said.

"Oh, I see. Well, that's not impossible..."

Pardo wasn't an unreasonable person; in fact Pardo, she hadn't been expecting much in return.

At first, Pardo thought that Chen Luo was giving her this last job as a way of saying goodbye...

At the time, Pardo thought the letter was actually meant for her and wanted to see it herself, but due to the contract, Pardo couldn't.

It really made Pardo feel terrible.

"Then boss, please pay the first month's salary first." Pardo held out her hand.

"... I have no money."

"No money?"

"I just started working and I don't have a penny to my name, but I'll go to Mobius tomorrow to ask for an advance on my salary," Chen Luo said expressionlessly.

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that not all the outdoor scene cards had been successfully pasted yet, Chen Luo would have already paid off this 50,000-year debt.

Although location cards cannot replicate high-value items, it is clear that currency is not considered a high-value item by location cards.

High-value items are those that are highly unique and have a high energy level.

Soul steel definitely counts, but gold doesn't, and paper money definitely doesn't.

However, because it wasn't pasted properly, I can't Puppet Collection Vault.

"Alright, considering you've always been paying my wages obediently, I'll give you this letter first."

Life is tough, even a cat sighs.

It's unbelievable that bosses are so poor these days. As the Best Employee for 50,000 years, I can only try to understand my boss.

"..." Chen Luo reluctantly accepted the letter that Pardo handed him.

So cats are the real high-level workers.

He rode directly on the boss's head.

This letter was not sealed in a special container like the treasure chest that Pardo buried at the end, but it was indeed intact for ten thousand years.

"Emmm..." After reading the letter, Chen Luo simply threw it into his backpack.

"What's wrong? What did the boss say in his letter? Did he mention the winning lottery numbers for the next few draws?" Cat asked excitedly.

Pardo finally understood: Chen Luo's letter was clearly written by his future self to his present self.

Putting myself in their shoes, if I could write a letter to my future self, I would definitely write down all the winning lottery numbers for the next 10 draws, and then retire after winning the prize.

"Pardo, you need to understand one thing: the lottery jackpot is never for ordinary people."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"No, it's nothing. In short, the information in this letter is far more valuable than those 10 winning lottery numbers," Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

Chen Luo's philosophy on money has always been that enough is enough.

Why do ordinary people work hard to save money? Isn't it because they're worried that if they get a serious illness, they won't even have money for food?

Chen Luo is different. If Chen Luo gets a serious illness, he will commit suicide and then start over.

"Of course, the mystery of why I, in the future, would give you this letter has finally been solved, because you came to the bar today."

Because the best time to tell Chen Luo the secret is when a certain time has come.

"Hmm, I don't quite understand, but boss, you need to remember to ask Mobius for our wages as soon as possible and then pay us. I haven't received my wages in a long time, and we're almost starving. Look how thin the Canned Food has become," Pardo said, picking up the Canned Food.

"Meow~~" Pardo also meowed in response.

"Emmm..." Chen Luo looked at the chubby Canned Food of food that Pardo was holding and fell into deep thought.

You call this thing being starved to death?

"Beep! Show-off card!"

"Danzhu, what's wrong with you again?" Chen Luo looked at Danzhu, who was boredly dubbing for him.

"Of course it's to give you a greater sense of accomplishment. Instead of being lazy and sleeping in your dorm on Sunday, you actually came to the lab to clock in. Isn't that showing off?" Danzhu said with a hint of resentment.

That's right, Danzhu has to work overtime again today.

"I'm here to ask Doctor Mobius for a loan to cover this month's salary. You know I don't have much money to lose, so I have to rely on my salary to support my family. Besides, I still need to bring you breakfast, don't I?"

Chen Luo said that delivering breakfast to Danzhu was a routine task.

"Junior brother, you're really thoughtful. By the way, have you finished writing my 100 repetitions?" Danzhu asked.

"No, it'll be ready soon. Anyway, the Doctor didn't say when it would be submitted, right? No need to rush. After all, thinking about it 100 times would take several days, wouldn't it?"

"That's true. Then go ask the Doctor for your salary, and then go play outside the Fire Moth behind my and Cang Xuan's backs," Danzhu said sourly.

Danzhu also wanted to go out and play, and coincidentally Cang Xuan felt the same way.

After saying goodbye to Danzhu, who was enjoying a lemon, Chen Luo entered Mobius's lounge.

Mobius has been very studious lately, so he usually spends this time in the lounge reading books that Chen Luo brought.

"Snake Snake..."

"You're here to inquire whether the body of the Seventh Herrscher that you stole has been discovered to be a forgery, right? You could have just discussed this over the communicator; there was no need to come all this way," Mobius replied without looking up.

"Ah, no, I'm here to get an advance on my salary for this month," Chen Luo said.

"???" Mobius frowned and looked up at Chen Luo.

If it weren't for the faint sense of similarity that Chen Luo gave Mobius would have really suspected that Chen Luo was someone else in disguise.

Perhaps because Chen Luo purchased Mobius's abilities, Mobius occasionally feels a special connection with Chen Luo.

This sense of connection cannot be faked; otherwise, Mobius would really suspect that Chen Luo, who asked for an advance on his salary, was a fake.

What do you need an advance on your salary for?

"Huabei," Chen Luo replied.

"Forget it, let's go find Klein later. We'll just get two months' salary in advance," Mobius said.

In fact, assistants like Chen Luo, who have official positions, can receive an advance of two months' salary if they perform well. This is because these assistants may not have had official positions before and therefore lived a relatively frugal life. In order to demonstrate the generosity and high welfare of the Fire Moth, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

After all, Fire Moth lack is people, not money.

Mobius had always thought that Chen Luo didn't need money from this world.

"Oh, by the way, by the way, nothing unusual has been found in the Seventh Herrscher's body, right?" Chen Luo asked casually.

"..." Mobius closed the book immediately this time and stared at Chen Luo.

"Ahem, give me some face, you can't just guess what I want to ask as soon as I arrive and expect me to admit it, right?" Chen Luo said innocently.

"... That is indeed the case. The body of the Seventh Herrscher that you copied through the Void Archive is exactly the same as the original." Mobius could only nod helplessly in the end.

What could I do if Chen Luo was so stubborn?

"Did you hear it from Dr. Mei?" Chen Luo remembered seeing Dr. Mei yesterday at the place where the seventh corpse was stored.

"No, I dissected it myself this morning."

"???" Chen Luo was a little confused.

"While I can't say I've exhausted all knowledge in the field of genetics, at least in this world, I am the absolute authority in the field," Mobius said calmly.

But the confidence in Mobius's words made Chen Luo glance at him sideways.

"Wow, that confident Snake Snake is so cool!"

"...If you don't know how to compliment someone, then shut up." Mobius rolled his eyes at Chen Luo.

Who compliments a girl on her coolness?
