Chapter 797 Working Goddess 5
Uh……
Xiaolin looked at Huihui helplessly. Her eyes were shining with gold. It was obvious that she was suffering from the Explosion Magic problem again. If she was not stopped, everyone would definitely go outside the city to use Explosion Magic together.
If that were the case, it would be fine. I was afraid that I would not only not make any money but also lose a lot of money after wasting a day. That would really be putting the cart before the horse. Therefore, I must definitely change this situation!
After thinking for a while, Xiaolin asked, "Huihui, what do you think we need most now?"
"What, what's wrong? Why are you so serious all of a sudden?" The little Loli said this with some fear as Xiao Lin held her shoulders.
“Okay, answer me quickly.” Xiaolin roughly held down Huihui who was trying to break free, and asked, “Come on, what do we need most now?”
"A chance to cast an explosion magic!"
"That's not it! What we need most right now is money! A way to actually make money!"
Xiaolin roared loudly in her ear.
The little girl covered her ears in pain, and said in an awkward whisper: "Well... it is indeed true, but how should I put it... it would be better to change the way I put it."
"At a time like this, what's the point of saying something to cover up your true intentions?" Kobayashi rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Don’t say that they are just companions here, even if there are other people here, you still have to say this!
“So, Huihui, please think about it. Based on what we need, is it still necessary to commission us?”
"Of course! It's because you need money that you take on high-value commissions, right?"
Huihui said this excitedly.
Xiao Lin covered his face in pain and said helplessly, "I understand your desire to spend a lot of money and accept a high commission, but you forgot the most important thing."
"what is it?"
"Of course, high-value commissions are more difficult to complete. If the reward is higher, it will be more difficult to complete. You should be very clear about the cause and effect relationship, right? Then, what do you think is the probability that we can complete such a high-difficulty commission?"
He said this to the excited little Loli, and then her smile froze on her face and she couldn't say anything.
"What's wrong? Answer me."
"So...Xiaolin, how many do you think there are?"
"You're quite courageous to answer a question with a question." Xiao Lin laughed and said with a grin, "Forget it, I'll tell you this time. To put it bluntly——"
Under Huihui's expectant gaze, Kobayashi insisted.
"Nine-nine percent."
"Eh?"
"Ninety-nine percent of the time it will fail. No, the probability of success is less than 0.1 percent. Do you know why? Do you know?"
"Woooo..."
Huihui pouted a little aggrievedly.
She obviously knew why. No, it would be more like saying that they have been together for such a long time, if she still didn't know, she would be stupid enough.
“A normal team would probably accept Megumin’s suggestion and act immediately. But aren’t you all here? An explosive maniac who can only cast one spell! A perverted Crusader who immediately gives in to his desires and goes berserk! And that weird high priest who always causes problems!”
The more Kobayashi spoke, the louder his voice became, and the saliva he spit out made it impossible for the little girl to raise her head.
"A high-paying commission that these members can successfully complete is impossible in this world, okay!?"
"I, I...don't I still have you, Xiaolin?"
“Well said, Megumin… If I can handle everything, then there’s no need for you to exist!”
Xiaolin roared.
Besides, the team should help each other instead of cheating and harming each other like they did. The goal this time is to let Aqua make money to pay off her debts, not to let Kobayashi make money to help Aqua pay off her debts. There is a decisive difference here!
"Even so! There are times when we have to do it!"
"That's why we don't need that kind of chicken soup! If monsters could be easily defeated with perseverance, the world would have been peaceful long ago, right!?"
Reality is not anime.
Shouting about friendship, bond, etc., and killing the demon king in one move, if it could be that easy, they wouldn't be in the situation now, and their companions still owed money...
"Oh no, Xiaolin!"
While the two were arguing, Darkness hurried down from upstairs with a panicked look on her face, which made Kobayashi feel a little uneasy.
"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious all of a sudden? Could it be that Aqua..."
"Aqua, Aqua is gone! The room is empty!"
"……what?"
Huihui was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Lin frowned slightly, but said calmly: "Is she in the toilet?"
“I checked, no.” Darkness shook her head and said, “There is no bathhouse or sink. She should not be in the mansion.”
"Could it be that he ran away because he didn't want to work?"
"That's the only way it can be, right?"
Kobayashi Baoyou was positive about Huihui's doubts. After all, you can't just be that lazy Aqua who gets up early in the morning to work at the construction site, right? Haha, impossible, absolutely impossible! That kind of Aqua is not the stupid goddess he knows!
But I didn't expect that girl to really run away. She was in a very urgent situation, but she still chose to escape from reality. It was really a headache. When I catch her, I must slap her butt hard!
"Anyway, let's split up and look for Aqua first." Kobayashi sighed helplessly and said, "I'll go to the tavern first. Because that guy might be under too much pressure and wants to drink some bubbly to relieve stress... He's always been like this."
After all, she is Aqua, and she has an inextricable bond with bubble wine.
Darkness nodded and said, “Okay, I understand. I’ll leave that to you.”
Huihui and Darkness went to look elsewhere, hoping to find that guy Aqua, while Krillin came to the guild and saw Aqua in the tavern.
Got it, got it, it’s here as expected.
It's really infuriating that he's still drinking here even though he already owes money.
Ok?
Xiaolin suddenly realized that besides Aqua, Miss Luna was also here. The two seemed to be talking, and Xiaolin, not knowing what they were talking about, chose to eavesdrop.
Soon, Xiaolin's face turned green.
All I heard was Aqua crying and yelling to Miss Luna: "And then, Xiaolin said something else, if you don't have money, use your body to make money, and then you threw me in a bunch of men!"
"Eh?"
"That's not all! Looking at me exhausted from being ordered around by those men, Xiaolin is still grinning evilly over there, watching me being treated this way and that!"
Aqua kept going further and further.
Although it is true, it is not that true. Aqua actually dared to use such words that could easily cause misunderstandings to tarnish her own image. She is so bold!
“Is this really the case?!” Miss Luna had an expression of obvious disbelief, but she still said hesitantly, “Indeed, I have also seen many nobles who are righteous and righteous on the surface, but actually do so many filthy things behind the scenes, and Mr. Guichu and Zhen are with him…”
The more she talked, the uglier her face became.
Aqua didn't stop talking. She seemed to be venting her anger and deliberately spread bad things about Kobayashi. She said excitedly: "That guy is an alternative who can easily do annoying things, and it's not just that——"
“Is there still more?!”
The lady at the guild counter looked even uglier. She thought that this behavior was excessive enough, but she didn't expect it to be more than that. She didn't expect Xiao Lin to be such a person!
Aqua complained: "That guy Xiaolin, when I healed my exhausted body and came out with the towel, he was still outside, scanning my body with the eyes of a hungry beast. I was like a prey being stared at and I didn't know what to do!"
"how come……!?"
“————Hey!!! You stupid goddess, what are you talking about without permission!!!”
When Luna, the lady at the guild counter, could no longer hold back and took out the wanted warrant and asked the guards to arrest Kobayashi, Kobayashi finally couldn't help but jump out and stop the goddess from talking nonsense and throwing dirty water on him.
After seeing him, Aqua looked a little scared and she couldn't help but take several steps back.
“X-Xiaolin!? Why are you here…!”
"No, Mr. Kobayashi! I won't let you hurt Miss Aqua again!"
Luna took a step forward and blocked Aqua behind her.
"No, Luna. You misunderstood." Xiaolin sighed helplessly and said to Aqua behind her: "The room was empty, so everyone came out to look for you. Really, you ran away just because you don't want to work, are you a child?!"
He rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Aqua said aggrievedly: "Because... things that I hate are just hateful... I don't want to do that..."
“Don’t make me say it so many times, you deserve it, right!?” Xiaolin stretched out his hand, trying to grab Aqua’s wrist, “Okay, you have to work hard today too!”
“No, don’t…” Aqua’s face suddenly changed, and she said fearfully, “Do you, Xiaolin, want me to go back to those strong men and make me groan and groan so much that I can’t even straighten my back!?”
"So, what you said is——!?"
Just as Kobayashi was about to get angry, he was stopped by Miss Luna.
"Um, Mr. Kobayashi?"
"No, no, that's not it! Don't look at me like I'm trash, this is a misunderstanding!"
Xiaolin hurriedly explained.
Luna couldn't help it for a long time, she said loudly: "Then, how do you want to explain it?"
"This idiot wanted to pay off the tavern's debt, so I asked her to work at the construction site." Xiao Lin spread his hands and said, "Doesn't this guy owe a lot of money?"
"Oh, that's how it is." Luna suddenly realized and said after thinking for a while, "Indeed, I heard that the repayment date is coming soon."
After all, she was a waitress at the guild tavern, so she knew all about this kind of thing.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Lin bowed his head decisively and apologized, saying, "Before the deadline, I will definitely grab her ears and pay off the wine money I owe her."
"No! No physical labor!"
"Noisy!"
Kobayashi yelled at Aqua who was struggling, "I've told you so many times, this isn't a job you can decide, right!?"
"Even so, what I hate is just hateful. What can I do?!"
"Don't get angry back!"
The two shouted without giving in.
Aqua has always been too lazy. She never does the work she doesn't want to do, but she always does the things she wants to do. This is especially true when it comes to party talents. Every time she is asked to perform a talent, she refuses to do it. Every time you tell her not to do it, she always comes up with something fancy, which makes Xiaolin very upset.
"You two, calm down. Don't cause a commotion here, okay?"
"Yeah, sorry."
Kobayashi, who was begged by Luna, saw that the other people in the guild were looking at him, so he quickly lowered his head and apologized awkwardly. After all, they did cause trouble for others.
Just when Kobayashi was about to capture Aqua and take her to the construction site to work even if he had to force her, Miss Luna suddenly nodded.
"I understand." She looked at the two of them and said, "In that case, I have a commission that suits you. Do you want to take it?"
"Eh?"
Hearing her say this, Aqua was slightly stunned, and Kobayashi was also a little strange.
"Excuse me, what kind of commission is it?"
"If I have to say it, it's about finding treasure."
Luna thought about it and said this.
“Treasure!?” Aqua’s sensitivity to this word was infinitely heightened. When she heard it, her eyes lit up. She broke free from Xiaolin’s restraints and approached Luna, asking excitedly, “What, what, please explain in detail!”
"Hello……!"
"Please find a treasure hidden by a thief. This is a commission."
Luna waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care about Aqua's rudeness, and then told her the content of the request.
"The reward is also very high. If you find the treasure, you can get 10% as a thank you gift."
"This, this is really good!"
Since one tenth of the treasure is called a treasure, then it must be a lot of money. Even if it is only one tenth, it is a huge fortune.
"Xiao Lin, let's take this commission!" Aqua said excitedly, "How can we miss such a good opportunity!"
"Hmm... It's too beautiful. I always feel like there's some conspiracy behind it."
Xiaolin touched his chin.
In addition to considering the authenticity of the commission, he also had to consider whether the money was enough to pay off Aqua's debt. In addition, if the treasure was not found, or if the treasure was found by someone else first, then there would be no way to make up for the time they wasted.
"No, there is no conspiracy." Luna said with a smile: "The difficulty is not that high, right... It's strange for me to say this, but I'm afraid there won't be a second chance like this."
