Chapter 39: Bargaining
Just a few days ago, they suddenly found that there was no vacant land in their village, and they had no way to dispose of the garbage, let alone risk being fined and throwing them on someone else's land. The customers who have made an appointment with the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info are about to arrive, and if there is no place to dispose of the garbage, then the liquidated damages are not something they can afford.
"I might be able to help you with that." While they were discussing these issues, Levi suddenly stood up, remembering that slimes could destroy anything but living creatures, and Levi suddenly thought of a good way to make money.
"How?" The village chief, the man who took the initiative to trick people before, looked at the two guys who were dressed more vagabond than the homeless people.
"It's my magic, and I can only work it if I work it with my assistants." He patted the old mayor on the shoulder, and the old mayor was stunned for a moment, but he immediately thought of Levi's intentions and nodded cooperatively.
"Then show us?" The village chief laughed, and the others laughed too, the two homeless men are magicians, who would believe it?
"Then give us a day, and you can confirm for yourself whether there is less garbage, how about it?"
"Okay, I'll give you a day." The village chief agreed, even if the two guys were bragging, there was nothing to lose by leaving them behind, and he glanced at the two of them, except for a few pieces of dry bread.
The two were then taken to a hut in the middle of a garbage dump.
"I'll check the work tomorrow." After speaking, the village chief with a sad face was about to leave.
"Isn't there an air purifier or anything like that?" Feeling the air like outside, the old mayor protested.
"If the garbage does go away, it will be there in a few days." Too lazy to waste time on the two, the village chief waved his hand and left.
Afterwards, Levi and the old mayor brought the slime bottle to the hut.
"You've been with me for so long, and I haven't repaid you much." Levi looked at the slime affectionately, "So, I decided to find you a place where you can enjoy eating!" ”
Listening to Levi's words, the slime twisted with emotion, because of a series of scruples, it had never eaten enough.
"Look!" Levi pointed out the window, "I didn't travel thousands of miles to find such a place, a place where you can let go of your belly and eat and drink!" All this, of course, with the help of the old mayor. Seeing the old mayor pointing at himself, Levi added.
Wisps of gratitude came through the slime's thoughts.
"You're welcome, I'm your cultivator, the person who cares about you in the world!" So he opened the bottle and released the slime, "Have a good meal." ”
Levi looked at the slime with a smile on his face, but his smile immediately froze, "Don't eat the house!" ”
In this way, the slime swallowed the garbage along the hut under the orders of the two, and after a few days, it ate a lot faster, at least it kept swallowing, not a problem.
Considering that this place was really uninhabitable, Levi and the old mayor left the slime and went straight back to the car.
"It looks like we're going to have to clear a way," says Levi and the old mayor as they navigate through the mountains of garbage.
"What do we do next?" Back in the car, Levi asked.
"Let's see what kind of reward the village chief is willing to give us, if the reward is acceptable, we will stay, if not, we will scrape together enough money for the magic block and leave." The old mayor, in fact, he did not think that the village chief could come up with anything good.
"That's all there is to it." Levi nodded.
Then, the two fell into a long silence, because of the haste of escape, they didn't bring out anything they liked, and the topic between the two had already been talked about on the way to come, plus the space in the car was too small, neither of them had any personal space, so they could only stare wide-eyed.
"Let's go outside and take a look, maybe there's something interesting in the garbage." I couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere, and Levi proposed.
"Okay." The old mayor and Levi were on the same page.
So, two people who looked like homeless people did what only real homeless people do, but fortunately, there were a lot of discarded books in the garbage dump, which helped the two pass a lot of time.
In this way, they stayed up until the next morning, and when they returned to the hut, there was not much garbage left around it, and soon the troubled village chief came to the hut, and in his mind, the two mixed food and drinking fellows had been almost smoked, and two pieces of dry bread that no one had eaten themselves could clean up two living people, and it was a good pastime for the village chief who was under pressure.
But when he came to the area around the hut, his eyes widened in surprise, miraculously, the garbage here has really disappeared, what kind of noble magicians are those two homeless people who have experienced the life at the bottom?
He walked eagerly towards the door, and pushed it eagerly, but just before he touched it, he turned to knock, and the knock was very soft and rhythmic.
The door opened, and two dirty faces appeared in front of him, but the village chief suddenly felt that the more he looked at these two faces, the more he had the demeanor of a man who was far away from the hustle and bustle.
"Two gentlemen." The village chief's tone changed completely, and he put on a kind smile, if he hadn't seen him yesterday, Li Wei might have regarded him as a kind person. "Was it okay yesterday?"
"Oops!" The old mayor suddenly covered his head, "Don't mention it, because of this smell, our work efficiency has never gone up, and now we still have a headache, when will you deliver the goods, according to this progress, we seem to be able to finish it!" ”
"It's okay, the air purifier will be installed for you right away!" The village chief immediately patted his chest, compared to the liquidated damages, the air purifier was too cheap.
"Actually, the two of us are not in a good state right now, if only we could install it soon, it will take a lot of time to buy a new one from the town, right?"
"It's okay, the purifier in my office will be brought to you right away." The village chief had to make a small sacrifice, and in a few days the new garbage arrived, and the speed of the work of the two had to be increased.
"And yes." The old mayor glanced at the cottage, "Two men sleep in a single bed, and they don't feel tired, it doesn't matter if we don't sleep well, it affects the working state......"
"I'll change it for you right away!" The village chief gritted his teeth, "A double bed? He looked inquiringly at the increasingly angry eyes of the two, "Three-person bed? ”
"Wouldn't two beds work? Preferably all double beds! Levi couldn't help but shout, he wanted to say a three-person bed, but the room didn't seem to fit.
