After breakfast, Brad put Parfay in his pocket and happily followed Arrow out of the guild gate.

Arrow took a few steps and turned around, only to see the cat floating over again.

Napa glanced at Arrow and said, "According to your 8 copper coins and 1 silver coin, God knows when you will be able to expand the guild." I'll follow you and see if there's anything I can do to help. Publicity, one more cat and one more hand. ”

Arrow thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

In terms of publicity, it is indeed easier to deal with the large number of people. Besides, not to mention the personality, the appearance of this cat is quite pleasing. Keeping monsters by your side can also increase your guild's prestige for crushing monsters.

The group walked straight to the only prop shop in Pelican Town, haggled and bought 100 pieces of paper and paste, spending 4 copper coins.

Later, Iero and the others go to the market in Pelican Town.

It's not the day the market opens, so there's hardly anyone in the whole market. Arrow asked Brad to spread out the paper, and after thinking about it, he wrote down in a big pen -

Mermaid Song Guild! Solve all kinds of troubles professionally! 》

"Alright, post these. You wrote all 100 sheets of paper according to what I wrote, put fifty in the bazaar, and we took the rest to the rest of the town and pasted them. ”

Parfay hesitated with the pen in his handwriting, but he wrote the same thing on the paper in Arrow's handwriting. Brad picked up the paper and went up to the wall as soon as he saw it. In a short time, one was plastered on every wall of this small bazaar.

After posting, Eero walked in front and continued to walk the streets and alleys to post everywhere. Pelican Town isn't that big, and the ads are almost out in about a morning.

"Done!"

Arrow clapped his hands and looked a little happy at the advertisements all over the street. The next job is to go and say hello to the other shop owners in the town, this job is probably not suitable for Brad and Parfay, it is better to go by yourself.

"Are you sure, can you really do a good job of publicity?"

Napa looked at the big white paper advertisements on this street, the slogans on these papers were straightforward, shabby, and not sophisticated. And the paper doesn't match the style of the whole street at all, which is really offensive to look at.

"You also said that you graduated from Lao Tengshu, and the students who graduated from Lao Tengshu are so talented? Can't you just make your ad look good? I don't know how to draw, so it's good to get more color. ”

In the face of Napa's complaints, Arrow smiled and said, "Now our guild belongs to the propaganda stage, since it is propaganda, then the most important thing is to make people remember us. Compared with the so-called elaborate advertising words, this kind of straightforward propaganda is more effective. ”

Napa: "Are you sure?" ”

Arrow nodded his head and smiled, "Because our human brains are very dull, most of us are not good at thinking about things that are too complicated, so the simpler the things presented to us humans, the easier it is for us to remember." It's like I can easily remember that one plus one equals two, but I can't understand anything in the high-level magic books of the magic department. So, the simpler the slogan, the easier it is to remember. ”

Napa was still a little unconvinced: "Even if it's easy to remember, won't you be off-putting like this?" ”

"Disgusted? Absolutely. ”

Arrow's performance made Napa frown again.

"At this stage, instead of taking into account both popularity and favorability, it is more convenient for our guild to simply expand its popularity and ignore favorability."

Napa: "Why? ”

"Because we don't have competition yet." Arrow said with a smile, "In the absence of competition in the same industry, we will try our best to expand our popularity regardless of favorability." In this case, if the townsfolk have any commissions, they will have to go to our guild. And once you successfully complete a few tasks, the previous notoriety can naturally turn into favorability. ”

Napa: "...... Is this what your economics taught you? ”

Arrow smiled wryly: "I said it a long time ago, economics has never taught me how to make money. This is my biggest regret after studying economics. It just tells me about the habitual thinking patterns of our average human being. ”

As he spoke, Arrow continued to walk forward with Brad, ready to finish the last few ads.

Brad just followed, but felt the gentle tugging of Parfay in his arms, he looked down at Parfay, only to see the flower fairy fly out of his pocket and come to Napa's side: "(Fairy language) Vice President, what did you quarrel with the President just now?" I don't understand. ”

Napa snorted and spoke briefly in elven language.

Brad: "Hmm...... I don't understand. Does this mean that the president is very powerful? ”

Napa hunched her two forelimbs and said suspiciously, "I don't know...... It's not that I'm damaging your self-confidence, but I doubt that your president's academic qualifications are real. He said he graduated from Lao Tengshu, but no matter how I looked at it, I didn't think he was a graduate from that university. And he keeps saying that economics has not taught him how to make money, he has said that it is economics, why doesn't economics teach people to make money? How to listen and how to contradict. ”

Brad and Parfay glanced at each other, and then asked in unison, "Old Tengshu?" What is that? ”

“…… Forget it, when I talk to myself. ”

Just as Arrow was directing the posting of the last sheets of paper, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the street.

Arrow turned his head and saw a stocky townsman in his fifties, with a big beard on his face, holding a pitchfork in his hand, hurrying over from there. Seeing this fat man, Airo first beckoned and smiled: "Yo! Good afternoon, boss! ”

The boss immediately rushed over after seeing Arrow, and yelled angrily, "Blonde brother? Did you see the thief?! There are thieves! I was stolen! Did you see any strange people appear?! ”

Maybe he was really in a hurry, and the boss didn't notice Brad and Napa next to Arrow until after yelling, and Parfay quickly got into Brad's pocket.

"Huh?"

Obviously, Brad and Napa fit the boss's mouth out as "weird people".

Seeing this, Arrow hurriedly smiled and introduced: "Brad, Napa, this is the person who sold me the house, and he is also the mayor of this pelican town, Mr. Welsh Round Cheese. Boss, this is a member of our guild, newly recruited. I can definitely guarantee their character. ”

Round Cheese looked Brad and Napa up and down, a little suspicious. Seeing this, Arrow took the initiative to speak again: "Boss, you just said that you were robbed?" What's going on? If you need it, we at the Mermaid Song Guild will be happy to serve you! You only need to spend a small amount of money to solve today's problems! ”

Finally, Mayor Round Cheese looked at Arrow and said, "I heard from that Mai Yi that you helped them destroy the slime?" Are you sure those slimes don't look like people? ”

Arrow's heart tightened slightly, but the smile on his face remained the same: "How did you say this?" ”

Mayor Mare adjusted his breathing, and the breath from his nose made his two beards shake up and down: "Last night, I went to the Unicorn Bar for a drink, and I heard from that guy Mai Yi, you killed the slime!" I thought that the monster that had been harassing our town recently was a slime, but I thought it would be good now, and I could sleep well in the future! But I didn't expect that the cheese pie I had just made this morning was going to be sold today, but I was just careless, and I saw a shadow snatch the pie I put on the windowsill and run away! ”

Thieves?

A cheese pie isn't worth much, but if you're a repeat offender, the bounty you ask for can be a little higher. Now that Arrow has Brad and Parfay as bodyguards, he doesn't have to worry too much about his personal safety when facing thieves.

Arrow put on a very serious expression, and listened with great sincerity to the mayor's account of the difficulty of the mission. After he had almost said that, Arrow nodded, put on a smile again, and said, "Boss, I understand the matter." And...... I also have some idea of this monster. ”

Round Cheese immediately picked up the pitchfork in his hand: "Where is he?!" I'm going to kill that bastard! ”

Arrow laughed, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, boss." Do you have any experience fighting monsters? Do you know who the other person is? Do you know what it takes to deal with such thieves? …… Hehe, professional things will be left to professional people to do, you just wait in your bakery, make bread and cakes and wait for us to complete the task and come to the door, or not. ”

With these words of Arrow, a slight smile appeared on Round Cheese's face. He gathered his fork and looked at Arrow's back with a look of trust.

"So, let's talk about the commission fee."

"What? Want money? ”

Money is really a great way to manipulate people's facial expressions.

Ai Luo coughed deliberately and said with a smile: "Boss, you also own a bakery, and you should also know that our guild is also a kind of business place. If you have a task, we will complete it. You can save worry and effort and spend a small amount of money to sweep away those troubles! I think it's a good deal. ”

Round Cheese looked at Arrow, his chubby face that seemed to wonder if Arrow was playing tricks on him at all times. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke: "Are you sure you know what that thief is?" I'm telling you, even I just see a shadow. ”

Arrow didn't speak, just smiled back.

"Alright! Blonde dude, how much is it? ”

Arrow shrugged his shoulders, "How much damage has this thief caused so far?" ”

Round Cheese's eyes rolled and he said, "I've stolen a lot of pies from me these days, stolen some herbs from the prop shop, and lost some pots and bowls from the blacksmith shop, but the most stolen is food." There is still a total amount of at least one silver coin. ”

Arrow was also not polite, clapped his hands and said, "In that case, then the commission fee is only one gold coin." I guess this price shouldn't be expensive, right? ”

"A gold coin?!"

Round Cheese's eyes almost popped out of that chubby head.

This price is not only for the mayor, but even for Napa and Brad in the back, they are all shocked!

"Blonde, are you kidding me? A gold coin? I only earn four or five gold coins a year, and you directly ask me for one gold coin?! ”

Arrow continued to maintain that smiling expression: "The other party is a thief, this is not as good as a slime with no intelligence, but our side is risking our lives." Boss, you think, if you don't catch this guy soon, maybe you will lose more than a gold coin! If you come to me again after your losses have increased, won't your losses increase even more? ”

Even if Arrow said that the sky is falling, the price is still too expensive.

Mayor Round Cheese didn't think much about it at all, looked at Arrow with a very wary look, and raised the pitchfork in his hand: "You want money and want to go crazy, right?" A gold coin? It doesn't take that much money to catch this thief in our own town! Besides, I don't know what the Adventurer's Guild is, is it necessary to spend a gold coin to ask you for help? ”

After saying that, the mayor didn't look back, and left with a fork in a huff. Arrow was also big-hearted, waving goodbye behind him, without the sense of frustration on his face after the business collapsed.

It wasn't until the mayor disappeared from sight that Arrow withdrew his hand and turned his head.

"Hey, didn't you earn less than 5 copper coins on the first mission, so you're starting to go crazy? Need a gold coin in one go? ”

Napa's questioning is very representative, and Brad is now looking at Arrow with a confused expression.

With a smile on his lips, Arrow beckoned Brad and Parfay to continue to finish the rest of the advertisements, and said happily, "Don't worry, I didn't want to take this task at all." At least, not now. ”

Looking at the sky, Arrow rubbed his hands together and continued—

"I thought the monster in the town was a slime, but now it seems that a thief appeared in Pelican Town before the slime. We'll go back and rest for now, and we'll come out in the evening. ”

Brad rubbed the back of his head: "Hmm...... President, what are you going to see when you come out in the evening? ”

Arrow laughed, "Since the mayor is so angry, it is surprising that he will not allow this thief to continue to go on the rampage." The townsfolk of Pelican Town may have a good night's rest, and we'll do it together at night. ”
