To be honest, my shoulders almost collapsed from fatigue.

For those guild members, they can just go back and rest, but for the guild leader, the current task is far from over.

"I know you may be tired, but can you please listen to me for a few more words now?"

At ten o'clock in the evening, just when everyone was about to go upstairs to their rooms, Ai Luo suddenly stopped them.

Cream looked back at his president, nodded, walked to the counter again, pulled up a bar stool and sat down. Coco walked to the bar and stood. Brad was even more direct, taking Parfait with him

He walked over to the counter, his eyes looking very energetic.

"What's the matter? President."

"I have a task to give you. This task is very important to our guild, so I hope you can be more vigilant and make sure not to leak anything. Except for the work I assigned you, don't ask for anything.

Ask, and don’t know anything. If someone asks you about this task in the future, just tell me what I will tell you later, and answer everything else with “don’t know.”

Ai Luo's current expression was very nervous and serious. Seeing his guild leader's serious expression, the members couldn't help but raise their spirits.

Coco: "Brother, President, don't worry, we will definitely be obedient. But... if it is a too dangerous task, I'm afraid that I am not capable enough and will cause trouble to Brother President..."

Ai Luo realized that his expression looked too serious, and then he changed to a gentle expression and said: "Don't worry, this task does not require you to expend any effort or take risks. You just need to pay attention to a few of them.

Just click.”

Ji Lian: "President, what kind of mission is it? What you said makes me really itchy."

Ai Luo bent down and took out six gold coins from the bag containing the black money. He separated two of them and placed them in front of Cream: "Crime, a wealthy businessman named Uso came to our guild two days ago to entrust a task.

, from the beginning of this task tomorrow, you will be the spokesperson of this wealthy Uso businessman."

"With these two gold coins, Boss Wusuo hopes that you can take the money to Honglu Town next door and buy about two gold coins of barley. Then, drag the two gold coins of barley a little further.

Go to Kingfisher and sell it."

Then, he moved one of the gold coins to Coco and said seriously -

"Coco, the big boss of Uso hopes to hire our guild to serve as bodyguards and escorts. So starting from tomorrow, you will be the bodyguard of the rich businessman's spokesperson (pointing to cream), and you will protect the rich businessman's spokesperson's purchase of barley for sale.

Process. Wait until the entire selling process is over, and then you can get this gold coin back."

Coco looked at the gold coin with a confused look on her face. Although she could tell that she had questions to ask, she obediently didn't make a sound.

"Finally, Brad." Ai Luo moved the last three gold coins in front of Brad and said slowly, "From tomorrow on, you will be the subordinate of a businessman named Leon. Your boss requires you to

Go to Kingfisher Town to buy some barley, and then drag it to Honglu Town to sell it. After you see someone selling barley (pointing to the cream again), you buy the barley for three gold coins. After that, you

Just transport the barley to Honglu Town again. However, because you misjudged the market situation, you can only sell the barley to Honglu Town for the price of one gold coin. Now, do you understand?"

Arrow spoke in the fairy language again, making sure that both Buffy and Brad could understand what he meant.

Of course, after saying this, their faces were still full of doubts, but it didn't matter, Airl just needed to continue giving instructions——

"Grim, you have to remember that after you became the subordinate of Big Boss Uso, you have nothing to do with our Mermaid Song anymore. Put on your hat and dress well so that no one can recognize you. Now it's already

In autumn, when the weather turns cooler, no one will be seen outside if you wear this."

"Brad, Buffy, you too. In tomorrow's mission, you will be Boss Leon's subordinates and have nothing to do with our Mermaid Song. It's best for the two of you to put on some disguises and put on your armor before going back.

Wear a suit of clothes outside and cover your mouth and nose as much as possible. Especially for parfait, your features are too obvious, so don’t appear in front of others, just hide secretly. Wait until you sell all the barley

After falling away, you will be considered a good member of our Mermaid Song when you come back."

"As for Coco, your task is relatively simple. Just stay with Cream the whole time and watch him sell out all the barley."

"You'd better interact with less people along the way, stay polite, don't cause trouble, don't attract attention, just do these things once and come back. Now, do you understand?"

If possible, Ai Luo really wants to take action himself.

After all, it can be seen from the confused expressions on the faces of these members that they really cannot understand the practice of buying barley and then selling it again, resulting in a loss.

But it doesn't matter, these things are indeed too complicated. It would take at least a year or so for illiterate and semi-illiterate people to understand them all at once, and Airl doesn't have that much free time now.

In fact, if they had more knowledge, Ai Luo could make the operation of this ring faster, more efficient, and more concealed. But that would be too complicated, and there was no guarantee that these guys would not make mistakes during the operation, so it was still

It was handled so simply.

Ai Luo repeatedly confirmed with them what he needed to do. Although he was full of doubts, he was finally able to accurately say what he should do and what he should not do. Only then did Ai Luo feel relieved and announce that he was disbanded on the spot.

.

Watching these members go back to their rooms to rest one by one, Ai Luo rubbed his stiff shoulders and dragged his tired steps back to his room.

But before closing the door, the cat popped its head out from the crack in the door. Well, Airl finally opened the door and let the cat in before closing the door.

"It's weird what I want to do, isn't it?"

Arrow knew that if he didn't explain clearly to the cat, it might not be able to let him sleep so easily.

Napa landed on Airo's bed, stepping on Airo's quilt with her front legs. She waited until she found a really comfortable position before lying down, and continued to face Airo with a lazy look: "Explain

Well, what are you going to do with this weird thing? Those little guys may not need to know these things, but as the vice-president of Mermaid Song, I feel it is necessary for me to know what exactly you want to do."

Ai Luo smiled, sat on the edge of the bed, took off his shoes, and pinched his swollen feet. After pinching twice, he looked back at the cat. Suddenly, on a whim, he wanted to reach out and touch the cat with the hand that he had just pinched.

of hair.

Unfortunately, just as he stretched out his hand, the cat immediately raised its fur and stared at Arrow's hand with a fierce grin on its face: "Don't touch me with the hand you just squeezed my foot with!"

A sad expression appeared on Ai Luo's face. He took back his hand with some apprehension, sighed and said: "Actually, it doesn't really matter. We just need to find a way to convert the stolen money into money that we can use."

Already."

It took a long time for the fried-haired cat to regain its composure. It looked at Ai Luo's hand and moved it to the side very vigilantly. Then it found a soft position and lay down again: "What on earth is this?"

What do you mean? Explain clearly."

Ai Luo switched to another foot and pinched. He had been running around for the past two days, and the soles of his feet were really tired. While pinching, he said: "I told you before, this money is stolen money, so it cannot be used normally. But

, if it is the funds from our normal income, it can be used very conveniently."

"So, I asked them to resell the barley. Since we bought it at a high price and sold it at a low price, the barley should not stay in our hands. After such a change of hands, we lost a total of 1 gold coin, but think about it another way.

I think we also earned 1 gold coin in entrustment fees through the 'normal entrustment' channel. This gold coin is our normal income, and it is the amount that can be entered into the books and audited."

As a Warcraft, Airl was sure that this cat probably didn't understand this behavior very well. Napa lowered his head and tilted his head, as if he was trying to think about the connections and problems. After a while, this cat

The cat finally seemed to understand something, raised his head and said: "So, you just spent a gold coin to turn the original stolen money into normal income? How can you humans behave in such a troublesome, complicated and unnecessary way?"

Ai Luo smiled, folded his legs and sat cross-legged on the bed: "There is no way, we humans are so troublesome and complicated. As long as we can avoid taxes, as long as we can evade the tax officer's investigation, we can think of any method.

"

Napa: "Is this also what you learn in the economics department?"

Arrow shook his head: "To be precise, it was invented by many big figures who used this method to turn black money into white money. By the way, this method also has a more professional name called 'money laundering'. To launder black money

Bai, turning illegal income into legal income is such a method."

After thinking for a moment, Napa finally fully understood what was going on. Obviously, the cat didn't care much about Airl's money laundering behavior. And Airl didn't think that Warcraft would sincerely understand the human economy.

situation.

"The method is a good one, but I don't understand. You can actually do it without it being so complicated, right?"

Napa licked the hair on her hands and wiped her face——

"If you just record how many more bottles of potions or maps you sold in your account book, wouldn't you be able to pocket all the money?"

Ai Luo smiled and nodded: "Of course, there is this method. We humans generally call this method 'making false accounts', or 'yin and yang ledgers'. I have also thought about doing this, but at the moment

It’s not okay given the circumstances.”

Napa raised her head and looked at Airo: "Why?"

Ai Luo: "Because our current business is not that rich, in the past two months, there have been only three tasks to explore the mines. Wouldn't it be strange if I sold a lot of potion maps here instead?

Moreover, if I fabricate an exploration mission here, it does not match the map I drew, nor does it match my actions in Pelican Town. Suppose I fabricate that we will go out and do a mission tomorrow, but there happens to be someone tomorrow

The townspeople come to us to entrust us with work. If they ask the tax officer a few more questions during the inspection, won’t they betray us?”

"So, although the current money laundering method is a bit troublesome, it is still safe. From the outside, the change of ownership of barley has nothing to do with us. We just earned a bodyguard fee. There is no need to go overboard with this kind of thing.

Frequently, come once every five or six days, and let the three of them exchange roles at the same time. Wait until winter and then resell them in other ways. I believe the money will be laundered soon."

Napa finally understood the purpose of Arrow's behavior. The cat licked its paws, wiped its face again, then slowly floated up and flew to the door. But just when it was about to go out, this cat

But the cat suddenly seemed to have thought of something, turned around, and flew in front of Napa again.

"It's quite hard for you as the guild president. It's hard for an adventurers guild to think about money laundering."

Ai Luo took off his coat and put on his pajamas, still with a smile on his face: "Didn't you confirm this several times?"

Napa nodded, and after circling Arrow, he said, "So, when do you plan to go to that mine again?"

Arrow's eyebrows raised: "You know exactly what I'm thinking! But I don't plan to go into the mine yet, because there are no craftsmen in Pelican Town who can make spears or spears. To deal with those corpse eaters,

We must use piercing weapons. Therefore, I hope that we can all be fully armed before going down."

After hearing that Airl was not going to go to the mine for the time being, the cat's eyes flashed with a hint of relief. Naturally, this color did not escape Airl's eyes, but he was also very happy that the cat could worry about him.

.

"If you want to go to this mine... I suggest you get as many magic crystals as you can for me."

Napa flew towards the gate again.

"Compared to the blacksmith, as long as you give me enough magic crystals, I can provide you with enough equipment and supplies. The current strength of your four men is far from enough, so I hope you will still let me help occasionally.

It’s better to help.”

Arrow wanted to thank the cat, but before he could say his thanks, Napa had already opened the door and floated out.

Well, it's all right.

Aero exhaled and lay on the bed again.

In any case, the current guild is in its infancy, and if it really comes to the point where it needs its help... at least, it will be better than actually failing on its own.
