Chapter 9 Forget me, I'm tired, the world will be destroyed(1/2)

With the dark red jade, He Wenxi shuttled through the streets of the outer city. There were many people coming and going here, all of whom were workers without the talent for controlling beasts.

Compared to the prosperity of the inner city, it looks a bit dirty and messy, and looks like a slum in the poor era. Various small bungalows are slaughtered together, garbage is everywhere, and the shouts and noises of vendors are also filled with hawkers.

He Wenxi took out the task table: "The first job is to go to the snack street in the east to collect money. There are thirteen stores in total, and each of them has to pay the monthly payment."

Hongyu question mark face: "Calling rent?"

He Wenxi nodded slightly: "Absolutely."

Hongyu asked in confusion: "Why don't you do such a simple thing yourself?"

He Wenxi shook his head: "It is inconvenient, the forces within the wall are complicated, and the money paid by these stores is inconvenient to publish 'black money'. Once the nobles involved come to collect it in person, they will immediately be caught by other nobles and then target and accused them."

"so."

“We inner city workers.”

"I became the errand runner who collected money for them. After the matter was done, I would receive a commission of one percent and would not get into any trouble."

Hongyu stared at her big eyes curiously: "Then isn't this picking up money?"

He Wenxi said slowly: "It's almost the same, but this money is too slow and it takes time..."

"So, most of the other workers are beastmasters, and they don't like this kind of work."

"I would rather go out of the outer city and hunt monsters in the wilderness."

"A few of them are killed and brought back to sell them with their bodies, which will make more money than this one."

Hongyu stood on her shoulder, shook her feathers, and asked subconsciously: "Are you also a beastmaster?"

He Wenxi glanced at her: "Please remember."

"I've become a beastmaster since last night."

"It wasn't before."

Hongyu: "…"

As for it?

Now we are communicating with telepathy!

Need to tell lies?

He Wenxi remained silent: "As for staying alert, it is impossible to say that our telepathy is being eavesdropped on by others."

Hongyu: "…"

Damn, I don’t think you are called cautious, you are called sick!?

He Wenxi ignored Hongyu's complaints and just continued to look through the task list and said, "As for the worker... you can understand it as a mercenary. As long as you give enough benefits, you can do anything."

"According to the bar rules, workers must be beastmasters, so that they can deal with many special situations."

"But there are also 'temporary ordinary people' like me, or minors, who can be a chance to become a beastmaster, and it will be better to train them early."

"Even if you are not qualified to become a beastmaster in the end."

"You can also use it as an errand runner, collect black money, or do other small tasks that beast masters look down on, and be a tool person."

Hongyu suddenly showed a puzzled expression: "Eh?"

"etc!"

"Didn't you tell me last night that in this dangerous world, not joining any force is the best way to do so?"

"Why are you a bar tool again now?"

He Wenxi looked directly at the crowd ahead: "Article 6, what I said is that we cannot join any force within the wall and become a subordinate of the noble... This worker is not considered a force within the wall, nor does he take sides, and belongs to the neutral camp."

"I will immediately choose to quit."

"No one will care about where a small character like me is going."

Hongyu shook her little head: "Okay, okay, don't explain it, I understand. Anyway, don't contact the noble forces in the wall, let alone provoke them, right?"

He Wenxi had a blank expression on his face: "It seems that your IQ is not low."

Hongyu frowned: "Uh... are you praising me? Or are you hurting me?"

After hearing this, He Wenxi glanced at the little black bird squatting on his shoulder, his eyes were calm, and finally said coldly: "Praise."

Hongyu: "…"

have to!

I'm sure!

You must be hurting me!

Please don’t underestimate the IQ of a descendant of a mythical phoenix!?

While speaking, He Wenxi came to the street where he "collected rent". He entered the door one by one, took out the badge, and said nothing. The merchants took the initiative to hand over the funds to him.

Hongyu asked quietly, "This... if they don't say anything, just take the money, aren't they afraid of being cheated?"

He Wenxi replied: "That badge is the most powerful proof. If someone dares to pretend to be a worker, unless he escapes from the city, he will be caught out in two days."

Hongyu was surprised: "It's so efficient to catch people?"

He Wenxi said: "Well, here, the beast control master has all kinds of tricks. It is not difficult to find someone with obvious characteristics."

"That's why I'm asking you to be careful."

"At all times, you must keep your disguise and not be fooled, so as not to be hit."

Hongyu sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, I am a dark and ugly primary beastmaster. You are the new beastmaster. We are the most useless combination in this city, okay?"

He Wenxi nodded silently: "That's right."

“…”

After hearing this, Hongyu looked desperate. What is this?

My mythical beast control not only can't show off, but I have to play the role of the lowest-level ordinary beast control. My owner is also a patient with advanced stage of paranoia. Even breathing is a dangerous thing?

I feel like I can't live this day!

After collecting the store’s contribution, He Wenxi took out a notebook and wrote down every sum of money to prevent the store from cheating.

Then he took the money out of the snack street and said slowly: "According to the process, we should go back to the inner city now, hand over the money to the subordinates of several nobles, and conduct review and statistics at the same time to see if there is any error or something."

"Including the time to travel, the time to check for omissions and fill in the statistics fee, it will take about half a day."

"However, there is another more cost-effective way, which is to do other tasks first, and wait until all of them are done, and then go back to the inner city the next day to submit the payment."

“The advantage of this is to save time and make more money.”

“The downside is that it’s easy to have problems.”

"The outer city and the inner city are mixed with fish and dragons. Some people specialize in thieves and robberies. If you have money on you, maybe the next day, people will evaporate."

"And they have many methods to block and investigate. In the end, even if the robbery does not hurt your life, you will still bear the responsibility for losing the money."

"Especially going to dangerous wilderness."

"Just pretending, it will be that you accidentally encounter a monster and are eaten by the other party, and you can't find anyone to reason with it."

Hongyu sighed and said, "Oh, according to your pace, I must be back to the inner city to hand in the mission, right?"

He Wenxi denied in a light tone: "No, if others can steal me, I can also steal others. This way, it's much faster to make money than to do tasks."

Hongyu: "???"

He Wenxi said: "To be simple, it is just a black man who eats black man. I will rob anyone who targets me."

Hongyu asked incomprehensiblely: "Brother... are you not careful at this time?"

He Wenxi said slowly: "Most of the people who dare to do such activities have been expelled to the wilderness and sneaked back to the outer city. They are violators."

"Even if you die in the wild or in the outer city, not many people will care."

"They are a good prey."

"Besides, I ran away this time, and they will continue to stare at me next time, and sooner or later both sides will meet."

"It's better to start first."

Hongyu's eyes gradually lost its luster: "So, are you going to take the money directly to seduce them and then kill them with your backhand?"

He Wenxi shook his head: "Of course not. There are many dangers of anti-robbery. We must carefully consider and plan in detail to achieve invisible killing."

"No handle can be left."

"Of course, I won't deliberately leak money and make people suspicious."

"But hide the money tightly to see if there are any 'smart' guys who find it out and take the initiative to cause trouble for me..."

Hongyu couldn't help but complain: "Okay, I finally know why you were so easy when you killed that bald man."

"You must be a veteran who often eats black..."

He Wenxi glanced at her with a plain look: "Are you disgusted with my approach?"
