Chapter 1 I'm the Big Boss
The capital of adventure, Fernandi, a free city nestled between eight giant labyrinths.
In Fernandi, you can see East Asians and Western Europeans talking and laughing, dwarves and orcs hanging shoulders and backs, and there are even sexy fairy girls and innocent and beautiful elf girls shopping in the streets.
It's an adventurer's paradise, the birthplace of legends, and the most prosperous trading city on the Eastern and Western continents!
Countless traders gathered from all over the world to form a huge industrial chain in Fernandi, which not only attracted countless adventurers, but also fed thousands of ordinary people.
And Luo Wen, who crossed into this world, became one of the thousands of ordinary people.
I stow so.
……
Fernandi does not have a city wall, but there are four official roads, which run through the city in the shape of a "well", dividing Fernandi into nine major districts.
On the corner of Dongcheng District, there is a commercial street, which has recently been renamed "Dongdajie", and in the middle of Dongdajie there are two taverns across the street, and Rowan works as a clerk in one of them.
In this world, the tavern is the equivalent of a fast-food restaurant on Earth, specializing in cheap liquor and cheap meals that are the favorite of ordinary adventurers, and adventurers returning from the labyrinth usually have a meal in a tavern they are familiar with, sometimes sharing information with others, sometimes bragging about it, in order to relieve the pressure accumulated on the dangerous journey.
The tavern where Rowan works is called "Flame Girl", which is really a vulgar store name, compared to the "Ice Goddess" opposite, it is completely low-grade, but adventurers just like this vulgar but down-to-earth name, so the business of "Flame Girl" has always been better than that of "Ice Goddess".
Rowan only crossed this world after his accidental death, he didn't have much nostalgia for the original world, but liked the world that gave him a second life, just working in the tavern every day, listening to the adventurer's encounter in the labyrinth, he felt extremely satisfied.
If nothing else, he will continue to live like this, and when he has saved enough money, he will open a tavern by himself, and then find a wife who is gentle and caring for the family, and the husband and wife will manage the tavern together, have another child, and spend their lives in harmony with the family.
But what does that mean?
Oh yes, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny!
"But that's a little too skinny, isn't it?"
Rowan pressed his back against the tavern door, sweating profusely.
On the fourth day of his part-time job in this tavern, he encountered the legendary incident of the boss running away, and now he is blocked by several vicious orcs, and he is in an embarrassing predicament of calling the heavens and the earth to be ineffective.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Thanks to this door being strong enough, it would have been broken by the orcs with brute force.
Rowan was a little flustered, he successfully applied for the job of being a clerk in this tavern on the first day he crossed into this world, he didn't feel strange at the time, but now he thinks about it, he shouldn't be tricked, right?
But the tavern owner was white and clean, with a gentle face, and a lot of discipline in his conversation, and he really didn't look like a sinister and cunning person.
"Sister Lisa, what the hell is going on? What about the boss? ”
He desperately pressed against the door and looked anxiously at the female clerk at the counter.
The clerk, Lisa, was in her twenties, with long, curly flaxen hair, not very modest clothes, a face plastered with powder, and oil paint on her nails.
Rowan heard from the boss when she first joined the company that she had been working in this tavern for three years and was the tavern's Kanban lady.
At such a tense moment, Lisa did not panic at all, and looked in the mirror very calmly and applied lip gloss.
Hearing Luo Wen's question, she replied casually: "What else can happen?" I've run away in debt. ”
"Debt?" Rowan looked surprised, "Our Flame Girl's business is okay, right?" How can you be in debt? ”
After smearing her lips with oil, Lisa put away the small mirror with satisfaction and said to him: "The tavern is not a profiteering business, no matter how good the business is, you can make a few bucks, and you can lose all your money in half a day in the city that never sleeps." ”
"The city that never sleeps? The boss went to gamble? Rowan suddenly exclaimed.
Although he has only been working here for three days, the name of the city that never sleeps is too loud, it is the largest gold cave in Fernandi, and it belongs to the treacherous place where people eat and never spit out bones!
Lisa took it for granted and said, "Isn't it weird? Our boss is an old gambler, and now that his luck has run out, he will naturally lose it all. With his temperament, it is estimated that he has borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and maybe even this tavern has been staked. Well, maybe it's not enough. ”
Rowan was speechless: "Then what should we do?" ”
Lisa smiled mysteriously: "Look at it." ”
"Bang!"
The deadbolt suddenly cracked, and a huge force struck from behind, Rowan couldn't bear it, and took a few steps forward, before turning around slightly embarrassed, just as he saw three long-haired orcs with brutal faces rushing into the tavern.
"The current debt collectors are really dedicated, and the genius has just arrived."
Rowan pinched his wrist and looked at the three orcs carefully.
Orcs belong to a subhuman race, and their appearance varies greatly depending on their blood bias.
Among them, the orcs whose blood is biased towards humans, except for the inherent characteristics such as ears and tails, are basically the same as humans.
But the bloodline is biased towards the beasts...... They look like the three orcs in front of them!
These were obviously three wild boar people, with long, stiff black hair all over their bodies, a pig's head and big ears, and two fangs sticking out of their lips, which were clinging to the sides of the pig's nose, making them look extremely hideous.
Rowan wasn't intimidated by their appearance, after all, he had seen a lot of similar orcs in the past few days working in the tavern.
One of the largest boar men suddenly stepped forward and asked angrily, "Where is your boss?" Tell him to come out and pay off his debts! ”
Rowan couldn't help but step back, and smiled slightly embarrassedly: "I'm just a new clerk, how can I know where the boss is?" ”
The boar man turned his head and asked his brother behind him, "Second hoof, have you seen him when you came before?" ”
The other boar man stared at Rowan with wide eyes for a long time before touching his head and saying, "I don't think I've seen much of it." ”
Rowan breathed a sigh of relief.
The boar man, who was supposed to be the eldest brother, turned to Lisa in front of the counter and asked, "Chick, do you know?" ”
Lisa narrowed her eyes slightly, an unusually gorgeous smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she suddenly smiled coquettishly: "This big brother, isn't the boss you said right in front of you?" ”
"In front of me?" The big brother of the wild boar man looked around in confusion, and after a while, he suddenly said angrily, "You lied to me!" There's no one in front of me! ”
He was angry, and his long hair stood on end, and the tips of his hair shone with a faint earthy yellow glow, which was very terrible.
But Na Lisa was not afraid at all, but covered her mouth and grinned, then raised her hand, stretched out her slender fingers painted with bright red nails, and pointed sharply at the place where Rowan was standing: "Where, isn't that human?" ”
"Me?" Rowan pointed his finger back at his face, looking confused.
The eldest brother of the wild boar man was also furious: "He is obviously just a small clerk, you don't want to deceive me!" ”
"No, no, no, you've all been deceived by him!" Lisa shook her head and said, "What kind of clerk is he, he's the illegitimate son of the previous boss!" As early as three days ago, the former boss transferred this flame girl to him, who else could he be if he wasn't the boss? ”
As she spoke, Lisa opened the drawer on the counter, took out a piece of fur paper bundled into a roll, and then shook the roll in front of everyone and unfolded it flat: "You see, this is the contract, all the regulations, including the transfer of the storefront, are clearly written, and there are signatures of the two of them on it as proof!" ”
"Contract?" Rowan took a closer look, wasn't that the employment contract he signed three days ago?
What a cheat!
"So, the store is now his, and if the former boss bets the store on you, you have to look for him. He is the illegitimate son of the former boss, and if the value of this store is not enough to pay off the debt, then the reason why the father and son should pay the debt...... I guess you know more than I am, an incompetent woman, right? ”
Lisa grinned and threw the contract to the boar man.
The big brother of the wild boar man made a contract neatly, and when he opened it, he immediately frowned.
Rowan also leaned over to take a look, but the words in this world were mixed with various languages, and he only knew a few of them, otherwise how could he easily sign such a contract?
He couldn't help asking, "Do you know these words?" ”
The eldest brother of the wild boar man frowned and said, "Of course, I am a top student who graduated from Fastewin Academy, how can I not even know these words." ”
Rowan was silent for a moment: "Fastewen Academy? Isn't that Fernandi's highest institution? I actually lost to a pig culturally! ”
"This contract is signed by both parties, and the magic handprint is proof that it is indeed valid." The big brother of the boar man said, "This is indeed a contract for the transfer of the store, and there is also a debt transfer statute here, and if you can sign this kind of contract, it seems that you are indeed the illegitimate son of the old fellow of Rotu." ”
Luo Wen hurriedly shouted: "No, big brother, I'm really not!" ”
"There is no basis for talking, and it is useless to talk more." The eldest brother of the wild boar man said with a brutal face, "It is only right that the father and the son repay the debt!" Rotu owes me 1,230,000 yuan to Never Sleep, and the annual profit of this Flame Girl Tavern is around 200,000. I'll give you two options now, one is to give me this tavern for five hundred thousand, and then you pay back seven hundred and thirty thousand in three days. The second is to sign and sell himself, and work for us for ten years in the city that never sleeps, and the tavern income for these ten years belongs to us, and the annual income must be guaranteed to be more than 200,000 yuan! ”
Rowan said helplessly: "Can I choose both?" ”
The big brother of the wild boar man said decisively: "Can't! ”
Lisa over there also smiled and said, "I said Rowan, why don't you just choose the second one?" Anyway, you can't pay for it, aren't you just working for ten years? Ten years is very fast. ”
Rowan couldn't help but glare at her fiercely, he now knew completely that this Lisa must have taken the benefit of the boss Rotu, so he joined forces to harm him.
"In vain, I called you so many sisters......"
He turned his head and muttered softly, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the boar man's eldest brother: "Give me the contract." ”
Without waiting for the big brother of the wild boar man to react, he pulled the fur paper contract into his hand: "I won't choose those two options, aren't you here to ask for debts?" One million two hundred and thirty thousand, and I will return it to you soon. ”
Lisa suddenly sneered, "You? What do you use to pay off your debts? Is it a meat payment? ”
"Shut up!" Rowan turned his head and glared at Lisa, "From now on, please call me Big Boss!" ”
