Li Zhenshu, who was in a hurry to leave, was stunned all of a sudden, "Wait, you mean that I will pay your salary?"

Sophie was also very inexplicable on the side, "Li Zhenshu, this is a rule that has been passed down by the Mercenary Alliance for many years, and the salaries of the employees in the tavern are of course paid by the boss." ”

The truth is true, but now the tourists who enter here are free, how many people come and go like this, one person doesn't seem to consume much, but a bottle of red wine, a plate of fruit snacks, is just an ordinary paper towel, that is also meat.

Thinking that there was a bottomless pit here, Li Zhenshu no longer had the slightest intention of joking, and looked at the shopkeeper and the two bamboo guys, as if looking at two big wolf dogs ready to be fed.

What happened when I fell asleep?

Karui's doppelganger died, Soni became a slave, and he inexplicably took over a public tavern.

"Don't make a penny?", Li Zhenshu still didn't give up, didn't such a big tavern have any profitable projects.

"There is no charge in the public tavern, this is the rule of the Union. Sophie said with a smile on the side, "Besides, it's nothing, a shopkeeper's monthly salary is only the salary of two mercenary points, which is not much consumption." ”

Li Zhen sneered, "Two a month, one man, I have to pay four mercenary points for nothing in a month, not to mention other consumption, Sophie, doesn't the mercenary alliance plan to reform, how can this kind of unreasonable consumption exist?"

He originally wanted to say how could there be a high-level group like the Mercenary Alliance, four mercenary points, almost fifty a year, which was equivalent to him giving away one-tenth of the ancient gods and demons classics.

For the Mercenary Alliance, this expenditure is nothing, but for individuals, it is a real astronomical amount.

Sophie laughed, "There's no way, every tavern runs like this, of course there will be some people who are clever, but this purpose can't be changed, this is the benefit of the mercenary alliance, Li Zhenshu, you will slowly know that mercenaries have many benefits, such as the two butterfly beauties next to you, these are all paid by Sanchez himself." ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but glance at the butterfly girl a few times, it is true that compared with his own few contribution points, the price of the butterfly beauty at the monarch level is much higher, and in just one auction, Sanchez may have to invest thousands of mercenaries in these wonderful maids.

But these benefits are also too expensive, he is not Sanchez, and he is not so wealthy, so he simply does not allow such a thing to happen in the tavern where he is located.

He finally remembered the words he had just said to himself when he had just escaped from the time trap.

He needed someone.

It turns out that what is needed is such a wronged boss as himself.

No matter what happened after the coma passed, but since it fell on his head, he couldn't go on like this.

"You have two mercenary points a month. Li Zhenshuo asked, pointing to the tavern owner.

"Yes, it's a fixed salary for all tavern keepers. The shopkeeper looked at Li Zhen with a trembling face, and his speech was a little trilling.

Li Zhenshuo found a chair and sat down, regardless of these people's fears, "How many years have you been working here?"

"One hundred and eighty-two years. ”

The abrupt words made Li Zhen tremble, such an ordinary middle-aged man had been working for more than 180 years, and it was estimated that the corpses of creatures like Issinger were old.

Obediently, this person can't be an old monster.

I wanted to ask a few questions, but the words turned around in my throat and dissipated cleanly.

With this kind of old qualification, he really didn't have much confidence to question, so he could only change his tone, "How many tavern owners have you served?"

"Three thousand six hundred and twenty!", said the shopkeeper calmly.

"How much?", Li Zhenshuer blurted out, "You're not wrong?"

"No, it is three thousand six hundred and twenty, the shortest of which I served for one day, and the longest for two months. ”

"Two months?", Li Zhenshu suddenly thought of the mercenary points in the mercenary key, could it be that the mercenary points were insufficient.

One day?

That's too short.

"It's nothing rare, each person's original fifty mercenary points could have been able to operate the tavern for a year, but unfortunately at our level, the resources needed are too much, it takes thirty or forty mercenary points to exchange for an ordinary classic, and even hundreds of better ones, so that once a classic book is exchanged, the tavern will not be able to operate. Sophie explained.

"What if you don't have mercenary points?"

"What else can I do, get rid of the mercenary qualifications, lose the protection of the mercenary alliance, and then fend for myself. ”

"Fend for yourself?", Li Zhen looked at Soni's indifferent expression, knowing that this sentence had another meaning, in this era of evil wolves, how could there be such a thing as self-destruction.

Once they are free from the protection of the big forces, these stragglers are like small fish and shrimp, waiting for countless mouths.

He had a vague premonition of the importance of the mercenary point, and it seemed that this was the foundation of standing in the mercenary alliance.

No one will do the business of losing money, Li Zhenshu is not a fool, but now the knife is on his neck, and there is no way out if he does not think about change.

The tavern can't be charged, and with his ability, it is impossible to change the general trend of the mercenary alliance, all he can do is adapt to this rule.

"Are there many mercenary taverns on the World Tree?", Li Zhenshuo asked.

"There are not many, the Mercenary Alliance is an elite organization after all, all it needs is to provide a place for information exchange, a short rest, plus the concealment of the Mercenary Alliance itself, it is not suitable for a large expansion of resources, there are a total of one hundred and eight mercenary taverns on the World Tree, each of which can almost cover half of the continent. ”

Li Zhen leaned back in his chair, imagining the huge World Tree, these taverns were just a drop in the ocean, but it was such a small place, just like the knots in the body of living beings, which seemed to be of little use, but they were often distributed in hubs.

"This is the only one in the Huangsha Islands?" asked Li Zhen in a cold voice.

"Well, there are seven mercenary taverns in the entire continent of Heim, and we belong to the outermost one. The shopkeeper seemed to think of something, and hurriedly took out a brass key from between his fingers, "By the way, boss, this is the key to the tavern, and it contains the information you need." ”

Li Zhenshu just took the key, and immediately turned into a cloud of yellow light and rushed into the mercenary's key, and then a vast map of the World Tree spread out in his mind, and on the map, the stars and dots flickered, marking the address of the one hundred and zero white mercenary tavern in detail.

One of them, located in the middle of the World Tree, glowed red, apparently his own.

The red light flashed suddenly, and the numbers on the Mercenary's Key flickered, and in an instant, there were four fewer mercenary points.

"Damn, is this an intelligent system?", Li Zhen trembled and wanted to cry, and in a blink of an eye, there were four mercenary points missing, and it seemed that the plan to be in arrears of wages was doomed.

Of course, he didn't bother to make a fuss about his salary.

Leaning back in his chair and looking at the three creatures asking for wages, like three vampires, who want to reprimand but have no temper, they don't worry at all that they won't get paid.

"How's the last boss doing?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and said insincerely, "He has thirty years to serve hard labor in the Huangsha Stone Field. ”

Li Zhen nodded to indicate that he understood, closed his eyes and imagined how to extricate himself from this situation, and even the mood of being in a hurry to leave eased at this time.

"Sophie, what do you have to do. ”

"What to do?", Sophie asked puzzled, "Li Zhenshu, you haven't told me what to give me an idea." ”

Li Zhenshuo pointed to the huge room, "Of course it's this tavern that you can't enter but can't leave, and I can't do a deal that loses money." ”

Sophie stared at Li Zhenshuo for a few moments, "The rules of the Mercenary Alliance have been around for thousands of years, and you have also seen that thousands of people have come over, many of them are talented, and few of them can run a tavern for a long time." ”

"And you're going to sell yourself to me?"

Sophie smiled, "Few people don't mean that there are no people, as far as I know, among the one hundred and eight taverns, at least half of the owners are fixed, Li Zhenshu, the tavern is a big burden for the weak, but for those who are really capable, it is a rare opportunity, I can reveal a little news, having a real estate in the mercenary alliance is the most important status embodiment, such as the Sanchez auction house, even if the tavern is small, it is also a real property." ”

No matter how stupid Li Zhenshu is, he can understand Sophie's words of encouragement, indeed, things themselves have two sides, you see his positive side is a benefit, and the negative side is a burden, if you want to make a thing valuable, one is the need for vision, and the other is the need for means.

"You haven't told me what to do?"

Sophie shook her head, "I can't help it, if I had alcohol, I wouldn't have waited until now." ”

Seeing that there were only two tables of guests, Li Zhenshu couldn't feel the prosperity of the tavern, these courtyards were all unique, and it seemed that each one had its own owner, its own function.

There were not many people in the Sanchez auction house, but why didn't anyone enter the tavern?

Down and out!

It can only be attributed to this reason, the downfall has created a devaluation, and no one will come here if they get the benefits they want.

The most valuable thing about the tavern is the intelligence trade, which is one of the most active places in the flow of information.

He needed intelligence, but it wasn't overnight, and he needed someone who could help him get the tavern up and running.

"Sophie, I need you to do me a big favor. ”

Hearing the word "busy", Sophie couldn't help but be stunned, she had just sold it to Li Zhenshu now, so she could not help but smile bitterly, "Say, my big boss, what do you need me to do?"

"I want you to help me bring a group of people from Isengard. ”

"Bring people, your territory?", Sophie frowned, she didn't expect it to be this, "Who to bring?"

"A toad named William, when he arrives, he'll tell you the rest. Li Zhenshu said solemnly, "These cultivation levels are very low, I hope it's best not to let them make the slightest mistake." ”

"When will you bring it over. ”

"Now, right now. Li Zhenshuo said directly, "It won't take much time to borrow the teleportation array, I'll just wait here, can I do it in half a day?"
