076. Remuneration and obsession
……
"Well, I already know the general story, but now that there are enough maids in the shop, there is no need to recruit any other maids, and besides, we can't afford to pay every customer who can't afford to pay off his debts. Since you're friends with Luo Ling, I can give you another choice. ”
"......" When Luo Ling heard Charlotte's sentence "Luo Ling's friend", he suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"What choice?" Belus asked with some eagerness, in fact they could not afford to delay any longer, although the previous journey was leisurely, the estimated time of the final arrival at the family was certain.
After such a long delay now, it is very likely that the family will not be able to reach the family within the scheduled time, and at that time, the family may be dealt a fatal blow.
"Speaking of which, Luo Ling has been working here for a lot of time, too?"
"Nine days, to be exact. "Luo Ling's impression of time is still relatively sensitive, well, in fact, it was Feng Rou who told Luo Ling.
"It's been so long, so, how much salary are you going to ask for Luo Ling?"
"Well, I don't think I've thought about this, just follow the other maids. ”
"Are you sure?" asked Charlotte with a smile on her face.
"Any questions?"
"Well, actually, our café was in a state of negative turnover before you came, and then because of your popularity, the store has been losing money. ”
"Negative turnover?!, it's a shame that you can persevere......"
"We're not short of money anyway. Charlotte didn't care.
“……”
"That's right, you guys are still aristocratic ladies at heart, and the original purpose of opening a café here was just for fun. Anyway, I'm so poor and I'm really sorry to be with you daughters. 」
"So, the other maids are not paid, and they don't lack that little money at all, now, Luo Ling, are you sure you want to be the same as everyone else?"
"How is that possible, then I will never think of paying off my debts?"
"Well, that's the way it is, given Luo Ling's contribution to the café's turnover, with a daily remuneration of 5 gold coins, and deducting the 2 gold coins that were not paid initially, a total of 43 gold coins, Serena. ”
Serena quickly took out 43 small gold coins from the counter, put them in a pocket and handed them to Charlotte.
"Well, please put it away. ”
Luo Ling stretched out his hand, ready to receive the first pot of gold he earned in the other world, as for the amber coin that Qianyue gave, it could only be regarded as the pocket money that the master rewarded the servant, not the salary.
However, the money was not handed over to Luo Ling, but to Belus, who looked confused.
"???" happiness came too suddenly, and Berus didn't react for a while.
"You, you, what do you mean!?"
Facing Luo Ling's crazy roar, Charlotte looked calm, "Well, you see that their brothers and sisters are so eager to return to the family, but because they have no money, they can't even afford to eat, so pitiful, Luo Ling, shouldn't you lend them all your money~department~?"
"The hell will take care of them, hurry up and give me back the money. Luo Zeroyi grabbed the money bag and tried to take it back from Belus's hand, but Belus cried and pleaded, and the money bag in his hand was tightened tighter.
"......" Luo Ling saw that he would not be able to get the money back from Belus's hand for a while, so he simply chose to give up and continue to rob, and the gratitude in Berus's eyes was even more powerful.
Luo Ling made a casual move, and the money bag held tightly in Berus's hand fell steadily into Luo Ling's hand, "There is no need to say anything about grabbing someone else even if you have the space ability." ”
"......" Belus looked aggrieved, as if he was about to cry, but Luo Ling was unmoved, and even a little angry.
"Why should I lend you the money for my hard work, we don't know each other well. 」
"Luo Ling, it's better for you to lend money to their brothers and sisters. Charlotte kindly reminded.
"I don't want it, it's my own money, and I have the right to decide how to use them. Luo Ling, who played with a child's temper, had a puffing little face, and it seemed to everyone that he was really cute.
"Didn't you expect Zero to be a little money fan, then, do you want to follow me, I can give you a lot of money?" Cynthia, who happened to see this scene, had a hint of desire to possess hidden in her playful tone.
"Cynthia, you don't have to think about it anymore, I won't hand over Luo Ling to you, if you buy it with money, I will definitely be much richer than you. ”
"Not necessarily, although the Laxis family is the most famous among the nobles of the continent, it does not mean that your family is rich enough. Neither of the two people who were facing each other refused to admit defeat, and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger in the air.
Looking at the two aristocratic ladies who were jealous of themselves, Luo Ling didn't know whether to be happy or tired, after all, they actually planned to use money to buy themselves?
"Ahem, first of all, I can't be bought by money, and I don't have much desire for money. You know, before, Qianyue gave me an amber coin directly. ”
"......" amber coin, the moment they heard this word, Charlotte and the two were still a little confused, but when they thought of Luo Ling's identity and the name Qianyue, it was not difficult to think of the glory symbol that the mainland specially awarded to a few supreme beings.
"I just have a special feeling about getting paid for my first job. Most of the journey with those two little guys was spent in the wild, and basically no money was needed. ”
"In this case, then, the money will be withheld for the time being. ”
"......" Luo Ling didn't say a word, but still reluctantly handed the money bag to Charlotte.
"Oh good. I wanted to touch Luo Ling's head but failed, looking at Luo Ling's resistant look, Charlotte slurred her lips disdainfully, and secretly said in her heart, it seems that there is still a need for training.
Benice, who was silently a quiet beautiful girl next to "......", didn't know what words to use to describe her mood.
Is it really the Luo Ling master who is not very reliable, but at least has his own reserve and dignity? Why does it feel that the collapse of the personality is getting more and more serious?
"Well, what are we going to do......" Berus asked suddenly.
"......" In this case, Belus, who has not forgotten to brush up on his presence, really doesn't know how to look at the atmosphere at all.
"Oh~? Since Luo Ling doesn't want to lend you money, let's stay here and work as a coolie. ”
"But, we're really in a hurry, Lord Luo Ling......"
"By the way, Charlotte, can you tell me about the rift next to the town?" Lotte seemed to ignore Belus completely, and asked a very abrupt question in a serious manner.
"The rift next to the town, are you talking about the endless abyss, that abyss is a relatively famous regional feature on the mainland, cough~" Finding that she had some strange mouth fetishes because of Luo Ling, Charlotte paused a little embarrassedly and continued: " Because of the natural barrier effect of the abyss, the Duchy of Venia and the Isonaga Empire also used it as a national border, on the other hand, the abyss also hindered the exchange of trade and culture between the two countries, and if you want to reach the other side of the abyss, you need to take a long detour, which is one of the reasons why the town of Femillus is a special stop on the journey. ”
"Well, so, the destination of the two of you is on the other side of the abyss?" Luo Zero asked the Belus siblings instead.
"Yes, our family is in the Isonaga Empire. Benise replied first, for fear that the stupid brother would say something wrong.
"So, you guys live in this town for the time being today, and I'll send you two across the abyss tomorrow, no problem, right?"
"Well!! thank you, Lord Luo Ling. ”
"It's okay to call me zero, and besides, adults don't have to add it. ”
"Zero ......" Benice muttered quietly, and quickly lowered her head, as if she was too shy to do it.
A smile appeared on Luo Ling's face, "Charlotte, give them two my honorarium." ”
"Are you sure?"
"Hmm. ”
"Woo, Lord Luo Ling, I knew you wouldn't be so ruthless, hey~hey~? I was wrong, Lord Luo Ling, hurry up and let me down." Pain~, pain~, pain~, pain!!"
Berus, who has been taught repeatedly, was finally punished by Luo Zero, who reversed his body with spatial movement, and then, the moment his head hit the ground, he moved again, fell to the ground, moved, fell to the ground, moved, fell to the ground.
In the eyes of others, Belus's upside-down body, uncontrolled descent and up, descent and up, and every time he fell to the ground, he had to scream, it was really a very ghostly scene.
"......" Benice didn't feel sorry for Belus at all, but thought that he deserved it, hoping that he could learn a lesson from it.
At the moment when everyone didn't notice, Luo Ling's pupils were covered with a layer of light blue data stream, and then quickly disappeared transparently.
Fengrou's sense of existence seems to have faded a lot these days, just because her existence itself is difficult to explain, so she is also very conscious that she no longer speaks casually, but this does not mean that she has transformed into a cold girl who is silent.
In a world made up of nerve electrical signals that no one else can understand, the communication between Luo Ling and Feng Rou may be going on all the time.
In the original world of Luo Ling, it is a difficult problem to overcome the transformation of the brain's thinking information from neural current to actual information, but it is a relatively mature technology to rely on artificial intelligence to directly input the actual information into the human brain through electrical signals, so that the brain can quickly and accurately receive these messages.
Therefore, some time ago, in the information exchange between Feng Rou and Luo Ling, Feng Rou could directly transmit all the information into Luo Ling's brain, but Luo Ling could not directly transmit his thinking information to Feng Rou.
A friend of Mr. Luo Ling, a leading scientist in the field of cranial nerve signals, has made significant contributions to the transformation of brain thinking signals into electrical signals, but when he was about to make a breakthrough, he died suddenly due to an incurable disease.
In order not to let her friend's research be buried, Luo Ling's teacher decided to take over her friend's research, which was undoubtedly ridiculed by the entire scientific community, after all, it was too fantastical for people engaged in physics research to suddenly cross most of the academic world to study cranial nerves or something, and no one in the entire scientific community was optimistic about her and her two students.
As a result, Luo Ling's teacher and her two students began to study the field of cranial nerves, and when they were about to achieve results, they were taken the lead and systematically and completely released the theoretical basis for the transformation of cranial nerve signals into electrical signals.
And that person is the former student of Mr. Luo Ling's friend, who perfected and developed his teacher's research and finally completed it. However, in his later description, he completely forcibly incorporated the research results of his own teacher, insisting that he was his own research.
He won the Nobel Prize for this theoretical system, and completely declared that everything was his own research, and his teacher plagiarized his research results.
For this reason, Luo Ling's teacher was furious, and Luo Ling himself was deeply dissatisfied with this, refusing to study all the materials related to his research, and determined to complete this theoretical system alone. But it wasn't until Luo Ling came to another world because of an experimental accident that he couldn't complete it, and it was only after Xiaofei's guidance that he finally perfected this theoretical system.
It is also for this reason that when she lent Ziqi to read the magic circle analyzed in her brain, she was mercilessly ridiculed by Feng Rou, the technology of the original world has been rotten on the street, but it has to be developed alone, but this can be regarded as an obsession of Luo Ling.
