Home of the Brave

Of course, it is impossible for the map to be automatic without wind.

The eyes of the trio of the true brave group followed the map to look up, replacing the yellowed kraft paper, and a strange traveler appeared in front of them.

The traveler wore a white cloak, and a travel bag of animal skin was slung around his waist. The shadow of the cloak covered most of his face, but the bulging travel bag attracted the attention of the true brave group. The travel bag is not a common cloth product, but is sewn from animal skins. Its rough appearance resembles a handicraft from a foreign land. Out of the adventurer's instincts, the true brave team couldn't help subconsciously assessing how many valuable things were in the travel bag, and the three of them kept their eyes on it for about a second.

Then I noticed that their treasure map was being held in the hands of a stranger, and the other party seemed to be looking at it with relish.

"...Hey! Which way are you guys? Report your name!" Boss Ed raised his eyebrows.

"Really, the recent younger generations have become less and less understanding of the rules..." The second child Xia De sighed.

"As a senior, I have an obligation to teach you what is the etiquette of an adventurer!" The youngest Hurd rolled up his sleeves.

Faced with the hostility of the adventurer, the traveler rolled up his cloak. When they saw the face exposed under the cloak, the complexion of the trio of true braves instantly stiffened, and then they showed expressions that were difficult to breathe.

Under the raised cloak, a short lavender hair appeared. Under the fluttering bangs were a pair of big violet eyes. His beautiful face was as delicate as a doll, and his body was filled with an indescribable charm. For the true brave trio, it was the first time to see such a beautiful person, and the anger that had been offended before dissipated like thin ice under the scorching sun.

"This map is very useful, can you give it to us?"

The traveler spoke. Although the voice sounds a bit low, this neutral voice has a kind of magical charm, and it also covers up the condescending tone of the traveler's words.

"Ah, well... uh, no, but..."

Faced with the traveler's request, Ed, the boss of the True Brave trio, almost nodded in agreement. But finally reacted at the last moment, scratching his head with a troubled expression.

"Well, we bought this map for two hundred lien, if you let it..."

"...Two hundred lien?"

The traveler looked at the map made with cheap materials in surprise, and nodded in understanding after a moment.

"That's the case. Although the map itself is rough, the content on it is quite useful. In terms of the price of the intelligence itself, it may indeed be worth two hundred lien... well, that's okay."

With a flick of the traveler's finger, a yellow gold coin immediately drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell into the hand of the boss Ed. The two sides of the gold coin are inscribed with some ancient patterns that look like flies, and it is full of weight. Ed used adventure experience to speculate that the value of this gold coin is at least five hundred lien.

"Please... Excuse me, is this for us?"

Boss Ed was holding the gold coin tremblingly, while the other two probed over and looked at it carefully.

"As a reward for exchanging maps, is it enough?"

The traveler showed a gorgeous smile, and the trio of true braves suffered from cardiac arrest once again. In front of the three adventurers who were trapped in petrification, the traveler happily put away the map, turned and walked outside the town.

"Ah, yes..."

After not getting far, the traveler turned around as if remembering something, and chuckled lightly to the three of them.

"Forgot to tell you to wait, that gold coin is the seal of the Lord of Plague. Hold it well, and fun things will happen soon."

※※※

The fact that the idiot trio sold the free maps at a high price of five hundred lien is currently unknown to the creator.

However, it might be a good thing. After all, if he knew that he had lost five hundred lien's turnover, Dai Yang would not be as happy as he is now, playing with the ingenious abacus handed down from the previous generation, and at the same time being happy with the small surplus in the business book. NS.

"Yesterday's turnover was two hundred and sixty lien, and the net profit was... seventy lien?"

With the thumb of the left hand, the abacus beads were moved back to the original place, and the pen in the right hand was used to write the figures of the surplus in the business book. The expression of the black-haired youth looked quite happy.

After all, for the item shop, the level of turnover is only one aspect of the problem. According to the difference in the types of goods sold, the profits obtained are also completely different. Yesterday he recommended to the dumb trio, almost all of them are adventure products that can maximize profit margins. With nearly 30% of the proceeds, the black-haired youth feels comfortable, and even the quill in his hand can’t help fluttering. stand up.

"Huh, if there is a team of idiots like this every day, there will be no deficit at the end of the month..."

Dai Yang closed the business book and prayed this kind of prayer to the empty ceiling. At this moment, a cup of misty tea was gently placed on the counter next to it. He subconsciously turned his head and looked around, and saw a female knight in house clothes standing nearby.

"Well, I tried to make black tea, I don't know if it suits your taste..." Xia Luwei held the tray in her arms, lowered her head, showing a pitiful and shy expression.

"Oh? Let me try..."

Under Xia Luwei's gaze, Dai Yang took a sip from the white porcelain teacup, then closed his eyes and savored the rich aroma.

The fragrance flows down the mouth into the depths of the body, both subtle and elegant. It is said that the taste of black tea will show the personality of the person who makes the tea, which seems to be true.

"...Well, not bad, very good."

Dai Yang opened his eyes and nodded lightly towards Xia Luwei. The female knight who was approved by him immediately became happy and put her hands on her chest, showing a joyful expression.

Seeing Xia Luwei like this, Dai Yang couldn't help laughing out in his heart. Just this simple recognition can make the girl in front of her happy. What kind of environment did she live in before? Such a problem, just thinking about it, makes people feel deeply sorry. Dai Yang shook his head and called the female knight in a gentle tone.

"Wei, are you still going to deliver the goods today?"

"Huh? Well, there are some left, I think it will take another day or two to finish it..."

Probably because she was afraid that Dai Yang would be annoyed that she was too inefficient, Xia Luwei expressed some anxiety.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's not an urgent matter anyway." Dai Yang waved his hand and said. "Actually, I want to say, would you like to take a break today?"

"Hugh... rest?"

"Well, I won't go to deliver goods today, take a good rest." Dai Yang suggested. "By the way, you can also go to'Liu Ke Yu' to see your good sister. Didn't I talk about it yesterday? I am quite worried that the bad middle-aged will teach her some strange things. It is better for you to go and see."

"I... I'm going to see Miranda? Is it okay?" Xia Luwei showed a surprised expression upon hearing the words.

"Of course...ah, take this with you by the way." Dai Yang took out a small purse from his arms and handed it to the female knight.

"Excuse me, is this?" Xia Luwei looked at the considerable money bag in her hand with some anxiety.

"There are two hundred lien's coins in it, just treat it as a reward for your hard work this week." Dai Yang said with a light smile. "If you see something you like, just buy it back."

"…remuneration?"

Xia Luwei was stunned. After a while, she raised her head resolutely, flushed, and stammered: "But, I...I'm not an employee you hired. I'm yours...yours..."

When returning from the Dragon's Nest seven days ago, Dai Yang proposed to Xia Luwei, and the female knight acquiesced to it. After spending a week in Lanlos Town, although the relationship between the two has not developed more clearly so far, Xia Luwei has gradually recognized her new identity, so careless words like this are naturally not accepted by her. .

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." Dai Yang smiled bitterly and scratched his head, regretting for a moment, then snapped his fingers and said clearly: "In this case, treat it as a husband's pocket money for his wife. , This is justified, right?"

"But, two hundred lien is too much..."

"Long-winded! Just hold it anyway! I didn't tell you to use it all up. If you're happy, it doesn't matter if you save it as private money."

"Ah, yes... yes!"

Dai Yang waved her hand impatiently, and the female knight was shocked and put away the purse. With the heavy money bag in her arms, Xia Luwei's heart floated unconsciously, as if she had just walked from the clouds to the ground, stepping on the solid ground under her feet, and an indescribable sense of peace of mind passed through it. The money bag of the man's body temperature surrounded her.

Xia Luwei looked at the man with indescribable eyes, but the latter was very uncomfortable being looked at like this. Therefore, Dai Yang waved his hand pretendingly, and snarled coarsely, only then reluctantly drove the female knight away. Before going out the door, the female knight couldn't help but glance back. The tender glance gave the man a shock of heartbeat.

Looking at the female knight's brisk back like a skylark, Dai Yang couldn't help feeling that he had just done the most cost-effective business in the world.

"Oh, it's really easy to feed..."

After smiling bitterly and leaving this sentence as praise or derogation, Dai Yang immediately returned his attention to business.

From now on, you have to earn two people’s living expenses. It’s no good if you don’t work hard to increase your turnover. You can’t let your beloved woman go hungry with you, right? As for the way to increase turnover, judging from yesterday's sales experiment on the trio of fools, the hand-painted cheap map is really a very effective means of promotion. If conditions permit, maybe it can be developed as an official product...

In this way, Dai Yang contemplated ways to increase his turnover, while holding a feather duster, he began to clean up the merchandise routinely every day. Not long after, the door of the prop store suddenly shook a sweet bell, and Dai Yang looked back like a reflection, his expression adjusted to the state of business in an instant, and even the greetings were full of enthusiasm.

"Welcome, what can I do for you... Tsk, it's you guys?"
