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

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

Napa glanced at Ai Luo and said: "If you continue to earn 8 copper coins and 1 silver coin, God knows when you will be able to expand the guild. I will follow you to see if there is anything I can do to help. For publicity, one more

The cat needs an extra hand."

Aero thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

In terms of publicity, it is indeed easier to get things done with a large number of people. Besides, not to mention the personality, the appearance of this cat is quite lovable. Letting monsters follow you can also increase your guild's reputation for being able to crush monsters.

.

The group of people went straight to the only prop shop in Pelican Town, and after bargaining, bought 100 pieces of paper and paste for 4 copper coins.

Later, Arrow took everyone to the market in Pelican Town.

Today is not the opening day of the market, so there are almost no people in the whole market. Ai Luo asked Brad to spread out the paper, and after thinking about it, he wrote in large strokes——

"Mermaid Song Guild! Professionally solve all kinds of troubles!"

"Okay, post these. You write on all 100 pieces of paper according to what I wrote, and post fifty pieces of paper in the market. We will take the rest to other places in the town and post them."

Buffy hesitated while holding the pen, but she still wrote the same content on the paper according to Arrow's handwriting. Brad picked up the paper and whenever he saw a suitable wall, he would put it on it. After a while,

So I put one on every wall of this small market.

After finishing posting, Ai Luo walked in front and continued to post the advertisements everywhere in the streets. Pelican Town is not a big place, and the advertisements were almost finished in about one morning.

"Finish!"

Arrow clapped his hands and looked a little happy looking at the advertisements all over the street. The next task is to say hello to other store owners in the town. I'm afraid this job is not suitable for Brad and Buffy, so it's better to go alone.

.

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

Napa looked at the large white paper advertisements on this street. The slogans on these papers were straightforward, simple, and not sophisticated in any way. Moreover, these papers did not match the style of the entire street at all, and they looked a bit awkward.

disgusting.

"You also said that you graduated from Lao Teng Shu, and the students who graduated from Lao Teng Shu have only so much literary talent? Can't you make your advertisements more attractive? If you don't know how to draw, it would be good to add more colors."

Faced with Napa's complaint, Ai Luo smiled and said: "Our guild is now in the publicity stage. Since it is publicity, the most important thing is to make people remember us. Compared with the so-called exquisite advertising slogans,

This kind of straightforward propaganda is more effective."

Napa: "Are you sure?"

Ai Luo nodded his head and said with a smile: "Because our human brains are very slow, and most of us are not good at thinking about overly complex things, so the simpler the things presented to us humans, the more simple they are.

The easier it is for us to remember. For example, I can easily remember that one plus one equals two, but I can’t understand the contents of those high-level magic books in the magic department. Therefore, the simpler the advertising slogans are, the easier it is for us to remember.

, the easier it is for people to remember.”

Napa was still a little unconvinced: "Even if it is easy for people to remember, won't it make people disgusted if you post it like this?"

"Disgusted? Of course."

Ai Luo's performance made Napa frown again.

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

Napa: "Why?"

"Because we don't have any competition from our peers yet." Ai Luo said with a smile. "In the absence of peer competition, we should ignore the favorability and try our best to expand our reputation. In this case, once the townspeople have any entrustments, they can only ask for help.

Our guild. Once we successfully complete a few tasks, the previous notoriety will naturally turn into favorability."

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

Arrow smiled bitterly: "I've told you before, economics never taught me how to make money. This is my biggest regret after learning economics. It just taught me the habitual thinking mode of us ordinary humans."

As he spoke, Arrow and Brad continued to move forward, preparing to post the last few advertisements.

Brad just followed, but he felt the gentle pull of Parfait in his arms. He lowered his head and looked at Parfait, and saw the flower fairy flying out of his pocket and coming to Napa's side: "(Fairy language) Deputy

President, what were you arguing with the President just now? I don’t understand."

Napa snorted and spoke briefly in fairy language.

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

Napa hunched her two forelimbs and said with a suspicious look on her face: "I don't know... It's not that I'm trying to undermine your self-confidence. I doubt whether your president's academic qualifications are real. He said he graduated from Lao Teng Shu, but how can I

No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a graduate from that university. And he keeps saying that economics never taught him how to make money. It’s all about economics. Why doesn’t economics teach people how to make money? Why don’t you hear that?

How contradictory."

Brad and Buffy looked at each other, and then both asked: "Old Teng Shu? What is that?"

"...Forget it, just think I'm talking to myself."

Just when Ai Luo was directing the posting of the last few advertisements, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the street.

Arrow turned his head and saw a short, fat town citizen in his fifties with a pitchfork in his hand and a big beard on his face running over in a hurry. Seeing this fat man,

Ai Luo first waved and said with a smile: "Oh! Boss, how about lunch!"

The boss immediately rushed over after looking at Airl, and shouted angrily: "Blonde brother? Did you see a thief?! There was a thief! I was robbed! Did you see any strange people appear?

?!"

Perhaps he was really too anxious. The boss didn't notice Brad and Napa next to Arrow until he finished yelling. As for Buffy, she quickly got into Brad's pocket.

"Forehead?"

Obviously, Brad and Napa fit the bill of the "weird people" described by their boss.

Seeing this, Arrow quickly introduced with a smile: "Brad, Napa, this is the person who sold me the house, and he is also the mayor of Pelican Town - Mr. Wales Round Cheese. Boss,

These are members of our guild, newly recruited recently. I can absolutely guarantee their character."

Round Cheese looked at Brad and Napa up and down, looking a little suspicious. Seeing this, Ai Luo took the initiative to speak again: "Boss, you just said you were robbed? What's going on? If necessary, our Mermaid Song

The guild is here to serve you wholeheartedly! You only need to spend a little money to solve today's troubles!"

Finally, Mayor Round Cheese looked at Ai Luo and said: "I heard that guy Mai said that you helped them destroy the slimes? Are you sure those slimes don't look like humans?"

Ai Luo's heart tightened slightly, but the smile on his face still remained: "What did you say?"

The mayor adjusted his breathing, and the air blown out of his nose made his beard tremble up and down: "Last night, I went to the Unicorn Bar for a drink, and I heard that guy Mai said that you destroyed the slimes! I

I originally thought that the monster that has been harassing our town recently is slime, and I thought that this would be good, and I can sleep well in the future! But I didn't expect that the cheese pie I just made this morning, I originally planned to take it out today.

It was for sale, but I was just careless and saw a shadow snatching the pie I placed on the window sill and running away!"

Robbery incident?

A cheese pie isn't worth much, but if it's a repeat offender, the reward may be higher. Now that Arrow has Brad and Buffy as bodyguards, he doesn't have to worry too much about his personal safety when facing thieves.

Already.

Ai Luo put on a very serious expression and listened sincerely to the mayor's description of the difficulty of this mission. After he had finished speaking, Ai Luo nodded, put on a smile again, and said: "Boss

, I understand the matter. And well... I also have some idea of ​​this monster."

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

Ai Luo laughed, waved his hand quickly and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, boss. Do you have experience fighting monsters? Do you know who the other party is? Do you know what methods are needed to face such thieves?...

...Haha, let the professional people do the professional things. Just wait in your bakery, making bread and cakes, and wait for us to complete the task and come to your door. That's it."

With Arrow's words, a happy smile appeared on Round Cheese's face. He put away his pitchfork and looked at Arrow with a look of trust on his face.

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

"What? You want money?"

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

Ai Luo deliberately coughed and said with a smile: "Boss, you also own a bakery, so you should also know that our guild is also a business place. If you have tasks, we will complete them. You can save worry and effort at the same time.

You only need to spend a small amount of money to get rid of all those troubles! I think this is a very cost-effective deal.”

Round Cheese looked at Ai Luo, his chubby face seemed to be wondering whether Ai Luo was telling empty lies to trick him at any time. After hesitating for a moment, he still spoke: "Are you sure you know who that thief is? I'll tell you.

You and even I just see a shadow."

Arrow didn't say anything, just smiled in return.

"Okay! Blonde guy, how much is it?"

Arrow shrugged: "How much damage has this thief caused so far?"

Round Cheese rolled his eyes and said: "A lot of pies have been stolen from me these days, some herbs have been stolen from the prop shop, and some pots and bowls have been lost in the iron shop, but the most stolen ones are

Food. It’s worth at least one silver coin in total.”

Ai Luo was not polite, clapped his hands and said, "In that case, the commission fee will be one gold coin. I think this price shouldn't be expensive, right?"

"A gold coin?!"

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

Not only the mayor, but also Napa and Brad behind were shocked by this price!

"Brother blond, are you kidding me? One gold coin? I only earn four or five gold coins a year, and you want a gold coin from me?!"

Ai Luo continued to maintain that smiling expression: "The other party is a thief. This is not as good as a slime without any intelligence. We are risking our lives here. Boss, if you don't catch him as soon as possible,

This guy may even lose more than one gold coin! If you come back to me after the losses have expanded, won’t your losses be even greater?”

Even if Ai Luo said that the price is sky-high, the price is still too expensive.

The mayor of Round Cheese didn't think much about it at all. He looked at Ai Luo with a very wary look and raised the pitchfork in his hand: "Are you crazy about money? A gold coin? Our town will ask people to give this to us.

It doesn’t cost that much money to catch a thief! Besides, I don’t know what the Adventurer’s Guild is in the first place. Is it necessary to pay a gold coin for your help?”

After saying that, the mayor didn't even look back, and walked away angrily with a pitchfork in his hand. Ai Luo was also heart-warming, waving goodbye behind him, and there was no trace of the dejection on his face that he had after the business deal collapsed.

When the mayor disappeared from sight, Ai Luo took back his hand and turned his head.

"Hey, did you only earn less than 5 copper coins in the first mission, so you started to go crazy? You want a gold coin in one breath?"

Napa's question was quite representative. Brad was also looking at Ai Luo with a confused expression.

Ai Luo still had a smile on his lips, and asked Brad and Buffy to continue posting all the remaining advertisements, and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, I don't want to take on this task at all. At least, not now.

.”

Looking at the sky, Ai Luo rubbed his hands and continued——

"I originally thought that the monsters in the town were slimes, but now it seems that a thief appeared in Pelican Town earlier than the slimes. Let's go back to rest now and wait until night to come out and take a look."

Brad rubbed the back of his head: "Well... President, what are you going to see out at night?"

Arrow smiled and said: "Since the mayor is so angry, it is conceivable that he will not allow this thief to continue his rampage. The citizens of Pelican Town may take action tonight, have a good rest, and we will be together tonight
Chapter completed!
