Their commission was suspicious.

Chen Luo then discovered that this contract book also had the function of recording penalties for breach of contract.

"!!!" Raven stared at the Book of Contracts in horror.

"I was absent from work for just one day, and he hurled a meteorite at my villa island. What kind of devilish rule is this? A devil's contract? Why is the punishment so severe?"

“You might have misunderstood. Unexcused absence at most results in a fine of a few hundred or a thousand dollars. The most terrifying thing is the last two clauses... Because I find it troublesome, I was too lazy to stipulate what the punishment would be for each violation and how much the fine would be, so I handed over the power of judgment and quantification to the Book of Contracts,” Chen Luo said.

"so......"

"So the truth is, if the Book of Contracts deems your action seriously wrong, then it is seriously wrong. From the Book of Contracts' perspective, as long as you don't violate the spirit of the contract, it's not a big deal. Probably..."

"So... I actually signed a lifetime contract?" Raven felt this was outrageous.

"That's roughly it." Chen Luo nodded.

If Raven remembers correctly, when Chen Luo asked him how long he wanted to work there, Raven said he would work until he went bankrupt.

"...Chen Luo, when will you go bankrupt?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will never go bankrupt in my lifetime."

After all, Chen Luo is quite good at making money, and if we're talking about bankruptcy, we should say it's some kind of world that's bankrupt.

As long as there is one world that is still relatively wealthy, Chen Luo will not be considered bankrupt.

And Chen Luo, who possesses the Heart of the Geo Archon on the continent of Teyvat, could not possibly go bankrupt, right?

The raven was stunned. Was this really a lifetime contract?

While it's not impossible to sign, Raven was truly completely unprepared...

"And my villa island..."

"From a generally rational standpoint, this is your fault. The insurance company won't cover it, and you expect me to?" Chen Luo pointed to himself.

"Wah!" the raven cried out.

Ah, this time I really cried.

Chen Luo was dumbfounded.

"Hey, wait a minute, don't cry. I'm not saying there's no solution..." Chen Luo panicked a little.

If you say that Chen Luo could understand it when Xiao Xilin and the others cried, it's really unexpected and hard to handle when someone as grown up cries.

"Oh." The raven, which had been crying, instantly changed its expression.

“You…” Chen Luo pointed at the raven with a trembling finger.

"It's just one of the basic skills of mercenaries, don't worry about it. But you just said there's a solution..." A recording pen appeared in Raven's hand at some point.

"???"

Good tactic!

I've actually been infected!

"Tell me, what's the solution? I want my villa island."

To prevent Chen Luo from snatching the recording pen, Raven flew the recording pen directly to the middle of the front armor and asked.

If you're so capable, why don't you try robbing it?

"There's no villa island, but there is a floating island. Do you want it?" Chen Luo rolled his eyes at the "cunning" raven.

If she lost her villa island, Chen Luo could at least compensate her with a Qunyu Pavilion, right?

Let's place Qunyu Pavilion on that sunken villa island!

This idea is absolutely perfect!

"No, I want my villa island." Originally, Chen Luo was determined to offer the floating island as compensation, but the other party rejected the proposal outright.

“You have no idea what you’ve missed,” Chen Luo sighed.

That's a really, really expensive thing!

"Well, you bought that villa island less than 7 days ago, right?"

"No, it's only been two days, but it sank in just two days. So what are you going to do?" Raven looked at Chen Luo with deep resentment.

"Have you... ever heard of a 7-day no-questions-asked return policy?" Chen Luo asked after a moment of thought.

"???"

7-day no-questions-asked return policy?

Would a villa island be acceptable?

Chapter 379 [Raven Rolling Around] Live Performance Ticket?

"The so-called 7-day no-reason return policy means that if your goods are returned or compensated for any reason within 7 days of a successful transaction, no matter what happens to them," Chen Luo explained fluently.

But not.

There's a significant chance that the 7-day no-reason return policy for online purchases will actually refuse to refund this or that part.

"Since you died suddenly less than three days after buying this island, I, as the seller, am obligated to compensate you with a new villa island."

"No conditions required?" Raven asked in surprise.

"need."

"Huh? You actually need other conditions?"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Villa Island! My Villa Island!]: I'll buy another villa island for the raven.

Rewards: 200 Primogems + Achievement "Teacher" + Ticket to the "Raven Rolling Scene" Live Performance

???

It's not surprising that Chen Luo was commissioned, and it's also not surprising that the commission included raw stones.

However, apart from the raw stones, everything else in the reward for this commission surprised Chen Luo.

The teacher's achievement may be something the raven recently accomplished that conforms to the other party's behavioral norms. Regardless of the effect, the achievement itself is something good.

It can have some effect, more or less.

The live performance ticket was quite unexpected for Chen Luo. Could it be that after using the ticket, Raven could perform that famous scene right in front of him?

Strolling, running, rolling around, shouting "My villa island?"

We absolutely must get this.

Chen Luo shouted in his heart!

"The condition is that you first collect enough work points for me, then I'll give you the island. You still owe me over 800 work points. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Chen Luo, having recovered from his excitement, stated the condition he had been meaning to say.

"Could you give us a little more time? You don't need these work points anyway, so you can just keep owing them," Raven said.

“The problem is that I also need time to get this villa island for you. I don’t have any assets in this world, and I have to go through a lot of trouble to beg and plead to get a villa island. Do you think it’s easy for me?” Chen Luo said helplessly.

Do you really think I'm omnipotent?

Suddenly, a villa island appears out of nowhere for you?

If I had that ability, why wouldn't I just suddenly conjure up a bunch of 6-star items for myself?

So when Chen Luo said to let Raven finish returning his work points, his main purpose was to give Raven some time to find a suitable villa island.

If you can't even understand this subtext, you deserve to be a bartender and not a boss.

Oh no, I can tell from her voice that she can only be a bartender, or at most a bartender manager.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that if you can find the island sooner, you'll try your best to arrange it for me, okay?"

"It depends on the situation," Chen Luo said.

"I still owe you over 820 centimeters, right?" Raven remembers all the important things like work points.

Moreover, the electronic display screen clearly showed the work points that the ravens currently owed. The markings were made in a particularly eye-catching color.

It looks very much like debt collection.

820工分......一天运气好的话能挣60以上的工分，70也并不是没可能，80、90运气好了也行，100的话就需要一些特殊任务了。

So, all in all, it will take about half a month.

"Besides paying off my debts on work points, do you have any other requests? Like, my cash or something?" Raven asked.

"Nonsense, things like cash, even if you disagree, are still mine, aren't they?" Chen Luo said, arms crossed.

LOL. With the Herrscher of Corruption's abilities, she could transfer all the money in Raven's account to herself at any time, but it's pointless.

Chen Luo has always maintained a "enough is enough" attitude towards money other than raw stones, so he was too lazy to charge Raven again.

Although the other party was simply unlucky this time, asking them for money again would only be a number for Chen Luo, but Raven would probably feel very aggrieved.

To ensure his employees are happy at work, Chen Luo felt it was necessary to be considerate.

And that raven was really unlucky.

However, getting an island for Raven is a bit of a hassle. Chen Luo doesn't want to use Anti-Entropy if possible, so after thinking it over, it seems that he can only start with Destiny.

However, having just sold a counterfeit Herrscher core, what method should I use to upgrade to a villa island?

"Now that the villa island issue is resolved, I'd like to ask another question: if you buy me the villa island, is it possible that this broken Contract Book will continue to vandalize my island?" Raven asked, pointing at the Contract Book.

Although Raven regained a villa island through Chen Luo's compensation, he really wanted to smash the book now. Even though he knew the other party was just a tool and smashing it wouldn't do any good, he just wanted to smash it anyway.

This damn contract is so annoying!

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Probably..."

"The Book of Contracts isn't something entirely unreasonable. Since you violated the spirit of the contract, the other party wants to use a memorable method to make you remember this incident. Once you remember it, they probably won't punish you anymore. So, do you think this punishment was memorable?"

"That's really profound," Raven couldn't help but remark.

"And can this broken contract be dissolved?"

"I'm sorry, no." Chen Luo shook his head.

The current situation is no longer something that Chen Luo and his partner can resolve on their own.

Of course, it's not impossible to remove it if you really want to, unless you spend a gem.

"Just work at my bar and be content, work for me for the rest of your life. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly," Chen Luo said, patting Raven on the shoulder.

“Then… can I retire?” Raven suggested another idea.

Since this represents a lifelong contract, and since it's an employment contract, there should be a day when the person has to retire.

"Good question! I don't know either." Chen Luo shook his head.

"But I feel like my job at the bar should be pretty easy, and the pay should be good enough, right? I only work 4 hours a day, and I get 4 to 6 days off a month. Plus, I can take time off, and they won't deduct my pay if I do." Chen Luo thought about the conditions he was offering, and they seemed quite generous.

Whose bartender gets a villa island as a reward after only working for a few days?

Moreover, after the villa island sank, the owner was responsible for replacing it with another one.

"That's true, but I also need to earn money to support my family. Doesn't it cost money to earn money to support a family? You don't give me wages, you only give me work points," Raven said with some resentment.

“But work points can be exchanged for US dollars, right? One work point is worth 200 US dollars.” Chen Luo remembered that he and Raven had made this statement several times.

“Who would use work points to exchange for US dollars? Of course, they’d save them for more suitable uses,” Raven said matter-of-factly.

"...You'll have no friends if you keep going like this, I'm telling you."

"Oh right, about that dinner you mentioned tonight..." Chen Luo remembered that.

"It's gone. The island's gone, what's the point of eating?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo, annoyed.

If Raven was the culprit behind the island's sinking, then Chen Luo was at least an accomplice, since Raven wouldn't have signed the contract if he hadn't presented it.

That makes sense.

"So that means I won't be able to have dinner cooked by you tonight?"

"nonsense."

"Great!" Chen Luo cheered.
