Their commission was suspicious.

“9142. You could have made this wish come true before today, but guess why you can’t now?” Chen Luo smiled kindly at Yvette.

Yvette was never a big spender of Abyss Gold Coins; the real big spender was Liu Huaixi, who now had enough gold coins to fulfill several outrageous wishes.

Yvette was originally just assisting Liu Huaixi in completing the mission and then receiving some gold coins in return.

Initially, Yvette didn't plan to acquire too many coins; she just wanted enough to get by. In fact, Yvette did have enough coins, since she had never thought of fulfilling any excessive wishes. However, after booking a wake-up service and spending her coins on some strange things, Yvette ran out of money.

Upon hearing how many gold coins she had left, Yvette instinctively lowered her head.

Chen Luo's room was on the second floor, while Su Yuan, who was chatting with her sister in the living room on the first floor, was holding her 1000 gold coins.

Yvette suddenly understood why Xiao Jiu was so distressed about those two-thirds of the gold coins.

Although Yvette didn't know that Xiao Jiu was the Heavenly Emperor, she already knew that Xiao Jiu was collecting gold coins.

"Can I ask Su Yuan to get the gold coins back now?"

"No way. They've been dragging this into this for a long time. And how can you even bring yourself to say it?"

“I’m sorry,” Yvette said firmly.

"..."

“Alright, I’ll only take back 858 gold coins and give her some spirit stones as compensation.” Looking directly into Chen Luo’s eyes, Yvette compromised.

“…500 gold coins at most. Although Xiao Yuan only chatted for 10 minutes, 10 minutes is still valuable. Besides, Xiao Yuan definitely doesn’t want spirit stones, but she’s too embarrassed to refuse you, so I’ll have to refuse you.” Chen Luo said.

It's perfectly normal for a cousin to think about his aunt's feelings, right?

"Then the remaining 300-odd gold coins..."

“Find a way to get it yourself. There are only a handful of people with gold coins right now, and even fewer who are willing to sell them,” Chen Luo said.

Su Yuan definitely wouldn't want to sell gold coins, because Su Yuan never lacked spirit stones.

As a direct disciple of the Penglai, Kunlun, and Shushan sects, Su Yuan had never understood what it meant to lack spirit stones.

Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er probably won't either. They're both unwilling to subscribe to wake-up services anymore because they seem to be planning to try something new.

Bai Zhi probably wouldn't either, since she doesn't have many gold coins herself.

Xiao Shi? Xiao Shi's gold coins are mainly used to prevent others from fulfilling their wishes, so naturally he won't sell them.

Moreover, if Xiao Shi wants anything else, she doesn't need to exchange it with anyone else; she can just go directly to Chen Luo.

Therefore, Yvette's only choice is Liu Huaixi, unless Yvette is willing to buy gold coins from Xiao Jiu... But when has Xiao Jiu ever been short of money?

"When will you reopen events like Abyss Gold Coins?" Yvette asked Chen Luo, deeply concerned about the difficulty of obtaining gold coins.

"Then you can just wait until my talent gives me another chance to shine." Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Yvette.

Chen Luo still wants to participate in activities.

Unfortunately, apart from the Changkong City event during the third collapse, Chen Luo hasn't seen any new events since.

Is this considered... a newbie perk?

"Alright, you can stop standing there now. You should go. I need to inform Xiaoyuan that you're terminating the contract. As the saying goes, surrendering means losing half the battle. I'll return 500 gold coins to you from the 1000 gold coins you handed over later," Chen Luo said to Yvette.

Now that the mission has been canceled, Su Yuan really doesn't need to buy Yvette any more time.

Although they could buy a few more minutes out of consideration for their friendship, there was definitely no time for Yvette to give Chen Luo life advice.

"..."

"Why aren't you leaving yet? I need to get dressed," Chen Luo urged.

"If I dress you, can you give me the remaining 300-plus gold coins?" Yvette asked Chen Luo after a moment's hesitation.

"May I ask first, what are your plans for using the 1 gold coins you receive?"

"I won't do anything excessive..." Yvette said expressionlessly.

"to be honest."

"I'll make you my underling for seven days, then I'll have you help me get dressed, and while I'm at it, I'll also play some games."

Why 7 days?

"Since making you my servant is already going too far, I don't mind going even further. It's still 10,000 gold coins a day, and 10,000 gold coins for seven days. So what's the answer?"

"You'll never get those 300-plus gold coins in your lifetime!" Chen Luo said with absolute certainty!

"Tch, I'm leaving." Yvette snorted and jumped out of the window.

"You offended the abbot and still want to leave? Come back, I've changed my mind. Help me get dressed now! Reward... 1 gold coin!"

Yvette's rebellious nature is becoming increasingly apparent.

Chen Luo needs to find a way to treat this.

Chapter 1316 Sylvia's Confidentiality Agreement (Fast Version)

Chen Luo miscalculated, because the clothes he was wearing were just a robe, which he could simply slip on, just like when he put the burlap sack over Alicia's.

For such a simple job, Chen Luo still had to pay Yvette a gold coin. Yvette was practically robbing him!

"How about we discuss lowering the price?" Chen Luo asked tentatively.

"..." Yvette's gaze toward Chen Luo grew increasingly hostile.

Listen to this, is this even human language?

Even if it's simple to put clothes on you, is the act of dressing you not even worth a single gold coin?

"Don't look at me like that, it'll make me feel embarrassed. Okay, one gold coin it is. Work hard, and you can save up 1 gold coins if you wear clothes or do other things of equal value more than 300 times, provided you don't spend any gold coins during this period." Chen Luo said as he walked barefoot out of the room.

Gold coins are a good thing, but Chen Luo probably won't be issuing them anymore.

If you want Chen Luo to release more gold coins, it's like a dog licking its face clean, then forgetting about it in the middle and then forgetting about it at the end. In short, let's wait until Chen Luo can wait until the next event starts.

I didn't even have a second event after the server opened, and you guys want one?

"And don't you think you're already much luckier than Xiao Jiu? Xiao Jiu has a hard time getting even a single gold coin, while you just need to put your clothes on me and you get a gold coin. No, I'm starting to feel like I'm paying you too much!"

Chen Luo felt increasingly uneasy.

Xiao Jiu is the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor needs to complete three tasks to collect one gold coin, since he has three 1/3 gold coins. So why does the mere War Angel get a high reward of one gold coin just for helping him put on clothes once?

Isn't this premium too high?

Under Yvette's murderous gaze, Chen Luo walked further and further away.

After seeing Chen Luo close the door, Yvette left Chen Luo's room through the window.

"Sister Sylvia, aren't you a little early?" Chen Luo asked Sylvia the probing question as soon as he came downstairs.

Visiting someone's house is one thing, but who would go to visit someone's house before 7 a.m.?

Those who can get up before 7 a.m. are probably mostly elderly people, right?

Oh, it could also be a child.

“I don’t want to either, but my sister said we only have time today, from when we get up in the morning until nine o’clock. The rest of the time we have to do diplomatic activities,” Sylvia said, also annoyed.

Sylvia didn't want to get up early either. What decent person would get up early?

But what could they do when Sylvia and her friends came here this time under a pretext that wasn't visiting relatives and friends?

Furthermore, although Bai Qiqi and her group have cleared 50% of the suspicion regarding their assassination attempt on Chen Luo, the church has not been completely cleared of suspicion because the person in question is indeed a church member.

As suspects, the fact that Sylvia and Yvette, two high-ranking members of the church, were allowed to visit Chen Luo for an hour or two is already considered an act of leniency by the relevant authorities.

Of course, they could visit privately, but that could easily cause diplomatic problems.

"Diplomacy? How do you do diplomacy?"

"Uh, I forgot..." Sylvia tried hard to recall how she used to conduct diplomatic activities with other countries or forces, and then Sylvia simply gave up.

"Ok?"

“What’s so strange about that? Generally speaking, even when my sister and I travel to other countries together, I’m just there to nod and smile, and my sister handles the rest of the arguments.”

As a holy guardian angel, it's probably normal for him to only know how to smile and nod, right?

Or perhaps a smile and a nod are enough.

It's really boring to be involved in diplomacy with other countries.

Foreign diplomats are not believers in need of comfort; there's absolutely no need for them to try to understand the other's demands.

After all, the church generally wouldn't agree to these demands.

Diplomacy between nations and powers is inherently about making an exorbitant demand first, then gradually backing down, and finally reaching an agreement. There's no reason to just give whatever the other party asks for.

So Sylvia just needs to smile, while Yvette can handle the offensive aspects.

"By the way, Sister Sylvia, where is your sister? She's the brave and invincible war angel, Lady Yvette."

"Little Luo Luo, it's very impolite to call a girl 'brave and invincible'."

"But the War Angel sounds like the kind of talent that just relies on brute force."

"That's true... but never mind, Xiao Yi is still my sister. Even if it's for my sake, you shouldn't call her that."

"But I think your sister probably doesn't care."

“I do care.” The door to Chen Luo’s house was pushed open and Yvette walked in.

“…Understood, my sweet and lovely Miss Yvette,” Chen Luo said.

"Little Yi, you're back. What were you doing just now? Don't tell me you used your gifted abilities to handle official business during those less than 10 minutes, did you?" Sylvia quickly smoothed things over so that her sister Yvette and Chen Luo wouldn't have any conflict over how to address each other.

“In terms of its nature, you could say it’s official business… but it’s mostly private.” Ivy nodded.

In a sense, Yvette's act of going to see Chen Luo behind her sister's back was indeed a matter that combined official and personal affairs.

"Xiao Yi, you should take a rest too. I've been so busy these past few days, and I haven't been able to help much. I feel bad about that. So, do you need my help with your work and personal matter?"

“It’s alright, you don’t need to help. In fact, just staying here quietly is already a great help.” Yvette shook her head.

If her older sister had stayed put down there, Yvette might have already finished giving Chen Luo his life advice.

"Alright, cousin, you're finally down. My work is finally done. I'm going to play games now." After waiting for them to finish speaking, Su Yuan greeted them and put on her gaming helmet.

“Playing with toys is a waste of time and energy, a waste of time and energy,” Chen Luo said to Su Yuan with great distress.

"It's because of people like you that business was so bad yesterday!"

Chen Luo said this from the bottom of his heart.

It was because everyone at the bar was playing games last night that Chen Luo's business couldn't continue, so Chen Luo also gave up and joined the game.

Because Chen Luo entered the game while being lazy, and no one notified him of any new customers, he spent most of his business hours last night in the game.

Because everyone was engrossed in the game, only a few people who were more interested in drinks and food continued to eat and drink there, which is why Chen Luo's bar business declined.

No, we can't let them get so caught up in this frivolous pursuit that it affects our profits!

Chen Luode had to come up with a plan.

For example... how to determine if someone is a minor?

Chen Luo suddenly felt that this idea was very good.

Because those who have reached a certain age don't seem to have ID cards, while those who have ID cards don't seem to be old enough.

For example, Yakumo Yukari doesn't have an ID card, so naturally she can't get her identity verified.

The latter, such as Mei, Kiana, Bronya, Seele... they are minors! Even Su Yuan is not a minor.

"What are you thinking about?" Sylvia waved her hand in front of Chen Luo's face.

"And you just mentioned business... what business? Do you need me to look after your business?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"No need..." Just after Chen Luo refused Sylvia, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Seeing Chen Luo's actions, Sylvia followed his gaze and only saw the ceiling.

"what happened?"

"Someone is harassing me," Chen Luo said in a deep voice.
