Arrow waved his hand again and smiled, "No, no, no, not everything in this world can be solved with magic. Boss, I have also tasted and bought your cheese pie. Two copper coins for one pie, full of ingredients, rich flavor and fragrant! If one eats it, it may take up to four days to finish eating. ”

Round Cheese crossed his hands on his hips: "Isn't this?" Pelican Town's best food! ”

"So boss, I suggest that you remake the pie and divide it into three grades: large, medium and small."

"The medium pie is still the same size as the one you originally made, and the price remains the same, still 2 copper coins."

"For a small pie, you only need to make a third of the size of a medium pie. Then the price can be set at 1 copper and 5 iron, if it is higher, it is okay, 1 copper and 6 iron, 1 copper and 7 iron. ”

"Finally, a pie of this level can be a full four or five times bigger than a medium pie, and the price is set at 1 silver."

Round Cheese was still recording with a pen and paper in his hand, but after waiting for a long time, he found that Arrow stopped at this point? Puzzled, he held up the contents of his record: "That's it? ”

Arrow smiled back: "That's it." ”

"That's! President Arrow, I think you're a member of Pelican Town, and you can't fool me like that! ”

Ai Luo hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Boss, I said that I would pay back the money, if I fool you and wait until the first quarter is over, won't I have to pay you back?" Don't worry, as long as you strictly follow what I say to do the pricing, the sales volume will definitely go up. By the way, you don't need to roast too much for the big and small ones, just make one or two a day, but when pricing them, you should definitely put both of them in the same position as the medium to sell them. ”

Looking at Arrow's confident expression, Round Cheese still had a very disbelieving expression.

But for the sake of Arrow buying a house, it is impossible to run away like this, the mayor of the town can be regarded as agreeing to this proposal, purely as if he was deceived.

"After 90 days, if I don't earn two gold coins, then you can do it!"

"Hahaha, rest assured!"

The relationship was settled, and Airo pulled Coco out of the mayor's office.

Walking down the street, the fresh air of the town made Arrow stretch. Coco walked with her, and the colors in her eyes were really instructive.

"Why, do you think I'm perfunctory to Mr. Mayor Mayor?"

Looking at the question mark on the little girl's face, if she doesn't answer her words, she probably can keep thinking about it.

Coco nodded forcefully.

Arrow smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, if you were a customer and saw these three pies in front of you, what would you do?" ”

Coco: "Do you need to talk about it?" The small one is only one-third the size of the medium one, and the price is not much different from the medium one. The big one, though four or five times larger, requires a silver coin! And such a big pie can't be eaten at all, it will definitely go bad. ”

Arrow shook his fingers, "So, you'll choose the medium one too, right?" ”

Coco: "Isn't this the kind of spec that Mr. Mayor was already selling?" ”

Arrow: "That's right. But Coco, what I asked you was 'what would you do?' not 'which one would you buy?'" In fact, you can simply buy none of these three pies and turn away. However, once humans are put into the choice, they tend to choose one of the choices offered to you, rather than choosing none. ”

"This is where human thinking is more troublesome, we human beings always want to take advantage, so when there are some options in front of us, we will instinctively choose the one that is most suitable for us. But it didn't occur to me that I could choose nothing. ”

Stepping on the gravel road, Arrow passed a fruit stand, threw out an iron coin to the boss, and placed an apple in front of Coco: "If you only have one thing in front of you, then the human mind is thinking of the two concepts of 'acceptance' or 'non-acceptance'. ”

Coco hesitated, but lifted her robe and wiped the apple.

"But if there are three or more choices in front of them, humans tend to choose from them and ignore the choice of 'not accepting'. Amazing, right? When I first learned this concept, I thought it was amazing. ”

Coco took a bite of the apple, the tender and sweet liquid flowed down the corners of her mouth, she quickly raised her sleeve and wiped the corners of her mouth: "So...... People who didn't come to buy pies in the past can't help but want to buy one after seeing such a choice? ”

"Well said. Well, the tool shop has arrived. ”

Entering the store and looking at the room full of tools, Airo greeted the boss behind the counter very energetically: "Boss Long Stick!" Is business good? ”

"Business is ok. What's going on today? Crafting weapons again? ”

The slightly stocky, bearded stick looked up from behind the counter, its slightly bald head stained with sawdust.

Coco was obviously a little frightened when he saw such a fierce appearance of the long stick, and took a step back with the apple in his arms and stood in the doorway.

This girl's little hot girl mentality and her instinctive reaction to be afraid of everything are really conflicting.

Arrow ignored her and said with a smile, "Is the thing I asked you to build last time?" ”

The long stick nodded, turned around and went to the back of the shop for a while, and quickly handed over a wooden box.

"Your request is strange, but it's not too difficult. A silver coin, thank you for your patronage. ”

After paying, Eero walked out of the store with the box in his arms. Seeing Coco's puzzled gaze, Arrow smiled mysteriously: "Let's go, I'll show you when I go back." ”

Back in the evening, I went back to the guild and looked at the notice board, which still didn't have any quests......

But that's just the beginning.

"Brad, Parfay, Coco, come here. And you, Napa, as the guild's vice president, why don't you come over for a moment. ”

The cat was lying on the counter, still ignoring Arrow. It was called three times before it flew over and landed on the dining table as if it had given face.

Waiting for everyone to arrive, Arrow opened the wooden box in his hand, took out two pieces of iron with a hanging rope from it, and handed them to Brad and Coco.

Brad looked at the piece of iron, frowned, and said, "President, what is this?" I can't read, I can't read ......."

Arrow smiled and said, "From now on, this is your guild's nameplate. Engraved on it are your name, guild and profession. Brad, this nameplate of yours has the names of you and Parfay, belonging to the Song of the Mermaid and being a warrior. ”

"From now on, our guild needs to evolve further, and everyone needs an identity to show that we belong to the same guild. When I see this nameplate in the future, I hope you will remember that we are companions in the same guild, and we are also family members who can help each other and trust each other in times of crisis. ”

Coco whispered: "I said before that we could deceive each other......"

Leng Buding Ailuo's face leaned in front of Coco, and he smiled: "Our magician, what about you?" ”

"Yes! Yes! Family! Companion! ”

The two guild members agreed, and Arrow enthusiastically took out his guild nameplate and hung it around his neck. Finally, he pulled out a collar with a nameplate on it and approached Napa with a smile.

"Don't tell me you don't bring it? This is the logo of all members of our guild. The vice president can't help but lead by example. ”

Napa glanced at the collar and snorted, "Okay, good, you're amazing." Wear this and you'll be fine. ”

"No, there's another problem."

Arrow helped Napa put on the collar and said with a smile, "Vice President, didn't you say you were willing to teach me alchemy?" ”

Napa looked away: "What, but don't you want to learn?" ”

Arrow pulled Coco, who was still wearing a nameplate next to him, over and gently pushed it in front of Napa: "But, we have a magician now." Won't you teach her to win? ”

Napa's expression wrinkled visibly. In the same way, Coco's expression is not very soft now.

The cat slowly floated up and down in front of Coco, looked her up and down at it, and then turned to Arrow, "Are you sure?" Teach her? You don't learn it yourself? ”

Arrow put his hands on Coco's shoulders, patted them gently, and said with a sincere smile, "No problem at all." I believe in our members of the Mermaid's Song, and if you teach her, I will learn. Unless our magicians themselves express that they do not want to learn new knowledge. ”

Without waiting for Napa to continue, Arrow quickly interjected, "Hey, you promised me." The same is teaching, you won't refuse, right? ”

Napa hovered in front of Arrow, apparently hesitating for a moment before finally nodding and sighing, "Okay, I see." ”

As for Coco, the girl had been completely ignorant since just now, she looked at Arrow and said a little nervously, "I...... Can I really learn alchemy? Previously in school...... In the guild...... Never said I could learn alchemy......"

Arrow turned to her and said with a smile, "So, are you willing to learn?" ”

"Of course! I want to learn! Coco nodded, "I'm sure I'll learn!" Thank you, President...... Thank you...... Thank you so much, President! I'll definitely study hard! ”

With commitment, there is naturally expectation.

With expectations, there will be hope and links to each other.

Iero is glad that his guild is on the right track.

Having a magician who is proficient in alchemy is equivalent to saving a lot of money for a guild.

Looking at Coco's current expression that is mixed with emotion and nervousness, Eero knows that his investment is definitely worth it!

Napa sighed, and it fell back onto Arrow's head, sat down on his hat, and said in his habitually lazy tone, "In that case, learn what you want." Later, I will make a list of the alchemy tools that need to be purchased, and I hope that the president will be able to prepare them. Hey, necromancer girl, you just said you went to magic school and entered the guild, right? I'll test you first to see how well you understand magic. Brad, bring the pen and paper. ”

Brad obediently moved the pen and paper, and Parfay thought for a moment and said, "(Fairy language) Do you want Brad and I to avoid it first?" You don't want to be overheard, do you? ”

Napa looked bored, and the little cat's paw flicked: "(Fairy language) It's okay, it's not a deep knowledge." Besides, if your president trusts you, I trust you too. President, you can write down what I say, and let this little girl take a test. ”

Arrow translated Napa's trust as he picked up pen and paper. Napa said as she wrote.

After writing it, Arrow had to sigh at the subtlety of magic.

This subtlety was not because he understood it, but although he knew every word, every number, and every formula symbol he wrote, he did not understand what it meant when it was put together.

Obviously, these "basic" knowledge in Napa's mouth are much more advanced than those magic books in the old vine tree's library!

But it's also possible that I can only read the most rudimentary magic books in the library.

"Okay, give you two hours, do as much as you can. After I'm done, I'll go over the papers and see how far I can start teaching you. ”

Arrow placed the test paper and pen in front of Arrow and looked at Coco with a caring expression. Although this child is a little rebellious, he is actually a good child in his heart.

Coco picked up the test paper and glanced up and down at it. There was a clear furrow between his eyebrows, and it looked like these topics must be difficult.

Arrow nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, now everyone disperses." Give our magicians a little freedom. ”

But at this moment, Coco, who was holding the test paper, raised his hand timidly, and his neck was shrunk back into the big robe.

"What's wrong?" Arrow asked.

"I ...... A little bit of a problem...... President brother. ”

Looking at Coco's embarrassed expression now, Arrow couldn't help but feel nervous.

Could it be that there will be no one?

Is this the cat deliberately asking some difficult questions and pretending to be "simple", or is Napa's knowledge of magic already so advanced?

"What's the problem? Is my handwriting unclear? ”

Coco hurriedly shook her head, she lifted the test paper, covered half of her face a little shyly, and said timidly-

"That...... That one...... The elder brother's handwriting is very beautiful...... It's just that...... Just ......"

"Just what?" Arrow was in a hurry.

"It's just ......," said Coco with her eyes closed and in a soft, almost insect-like voice, as if she had mustered up her last courage, "just ...... I can't read...... I don't understand...... That one...... Sorry ......"
