Their commission was suspicious.

Even though Chen Luo hadn't experienced it yet, he knew just how bizarre and absurd the requests would be.

Just like the strange patients Chen Luo encountered when he was a volunteer at the hospital.

Hmm, have you ever seen a patient come in four times in one day because of swallowing a light bulb?

If you're mentally challenged, please transfer to the psychiatric ward next door. Thank you.

Chapter 235 Alicia Understands Chen Luo Best

"Oh my, after all these years, Luo Luo, you really haven't changed at all. No, I should say that this problem of yours has always been there." Alicia looked Chen Luo up and down strangely.

Can you tell me why?

"I'm sorry, this is a trade secret and will not be disclosed," Chen Luo said coldly.

“You said the same thing 5 years ago.” Alicia was very dissatisfied with Chen Luo’s perfunctory attitude.

"Sister Ellie, how did you do that?" Ling asked curiously after tugging at Ellie's sleeve.

How exactly did Alicia manage to stop Chen Luo from being angry? Ling was very curious about this question.

"Oh, it's very simple. Just hold your breath, clear your mind, think about fulfilling a wish, and call out Luo Luo's name. Luo Luo may then appear by your side and help you solve your problems."

Alicia didn't hide anything from Ling's curiosity. Instead, she started telling Ling the trick. After all, it wasn't something worth hiding. In the Moth of Flame, this method wasn't exactly common knowledge, but everyone had tried it to some extent.

"Is it really that simple?" Ling asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's that simple, but not everyone can do it. Let me share a few tips with you. First, your wishes can't be too outrageous, and they can't cross Lolo's bottom line."

"Secondly, the wish cannot be too troublesome to fulfill, and the process cannot be too long. Lolo probably won't fulfill any wishes that require too much time."

"Then, the better your relationship with Alo, the more likely he is to grant your wishes, just like I am."

"Also, never try to use Chen Luo in this way to achieve something detrimental to him. He will notice, and many people have been beaten up because of it."

"Finally, you must be sincere and focused, and Aponia does this very well."

"Oh, I got it, I got it." Ling nodded her little head.

Is that all?

"That's all. Actually, you don't always need to go through all this trouble to get Alo's help. If you're close to Alo, you can just tell him."

“Hmm, it sounds like Luo Ge is like an elf, suddenly appearing and granting people’s wishes,” Ling couldn’t help but say.

"That's exactly right. No matter your status, whether you're rich or poor, as long as your desire is strong enough, Lolo will grant your wish without expecting anything in return. There's even a religious belief in the outside world based on Lolo, isn't that amazing?"

"Because Lolo is helpful and has his own bottom line, he's very popular within the Firemoth, even though he works at the Mebius Lab. He's just a bit elusive, often making him hard to find," Alicia said with a touch of emotion.

Chen Luo, on the other hand, listened in a daze.

To believe in one's own religious organization? Is that really that outrageous?

"Alo, come here." Raven, who was listening to Alicia's explanation with Ling, suddenly pulled Chen Luo aside.

"Why do they not need work points to fulfill their wishes, but I do?" Raven suddenly realized.

Because the raven realized it was at a disadvantage.

Ravens have always been very astute when it comes to business.

"You're quite perceptive." Chen Luo wasn't surprised that Raven had seen through his methods, or rather, he knew Raven would have figured it out sooner or later if he stayed a day or two longer. Chen Luo didn't intend to hide it from her.

Just like Chen Luo in the future, it seems that he did not keep his ability to grant other people's wishes a secret.

Although Chen Luo might not necessarily do those tasks, there's no penalty for accepting them but not doing them.

Or rather, the more commissions Chen Luo receives, the more choices he has.

"Can you give me an explanation? You're not just taking advantage of me because you think I'm easy to fool, are you?" Raven said somewhat unhappily.

"Look at what you're saying. I do grant other people's wishes, but I also have my bottom line. Like when I changed the car cover for your car, didn't I not charge you any work points?" Chen Luo asked.

"Yes, indeed." Raven nodded.

"So if it's a relatively ordinary wish, on the same level as others, I'll consider granting it on a case-by-case basis. I don't grant everyone's wishes, as you probably heard Alicia say earlier."

"So..." Raven had a vague guess.

"So your work points are used to fulfill wishes that I wouldn't normally grant. For example, obviously difficult wishes, like giving you a massage while controlling a car with threads. Is that a normal person's request?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at Raven.

Goodness, if Chen Luo didn't have some special skills, he really wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing.

"Or perhaps it's a risky trip to explore the entire world of snakes with me?" Raven understood quickly and could even draw inferences from this.

"Mm." Chen Luo nodded.

Even for Chen Luo, following the raven around the world snakes was very dangerous, because Chen Luo understood the gray snake, but Chen Luo felt that the gray snake understood him even better.

Chen Luo felt that the gray snake might still possess some abilities to break through his own.

Chen Luo's commission did indeed have a certain degree of ability to detect danger, but that commission to visit the World Snake was essentially Gray Snake commissioning Raven to commission Chen Luo to visit the World Snake.

This means the task has been filtered twice, resulting in even less information being obtained.

The less information available, the more dangerous it is.

Therefore, the work points earned by Ravenflower were mostly risk-based work points.

"Besides, for every work point you spend, I'll give you $100 back, right? If you don't want to spend work points, you can just exchange them for $200. I'm not stopping you."

Chen Luo gave Raven two choices from the beginning, and it wasn't that he wanted her to use up her work points.

"Furthermore, I may launch certain activities in the future, such as indulgence vouchers, which you can purchase with work points, and can only purchase with work points," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo didn't mind giving Raven good things; after all, Raven was his employee, and he couldn't let her go out and be bullied by others.

Giving them some good things to protect them isn't a problem.

For example... accumulate 1200 work points to exchange for a villa island.

Or something like a counterfeit Herrscher core.

However, this means that Chen Luo will likely have to give Raven much less of a tip after he finishes his work each day.

“Oh, I see… Then I have a question. Can I exchange $200 for a work point?” Raven suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Chen Luo was taken aback.

"If I exchange one work point for $200, can I exchange $200 for one work point? That is, to recharge."

"No way." Chen Luo refused outright.

"What?"

"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 Corruption, 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$24. You have to know how many years it took Raven to save up enough money to buy a villa island.

How many $24s 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 Destiny 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.

如果只是200美元价值的话，10个工分消费了也就消费了，但现在10个工分价值1/120个别墅小岛啊。

"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 Snake 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.
