Zongman: Don't move, Aisi, your family still owes me money

"Haha, Merlin, I don't want a simple explanation, I want something more specific."

"That doesn't even explain anything."

Aegina put her hands on the table and looked at Merlin angrily.

But soon, she thought of something and a bit of restraint appeared on her pretty face.

"Well, if it's information that's inconvenient to disclose, it's fine if you don't tell me."

As she said this, a hint of dejection flashed across Aina's face.

“It’s this prop.”

Merlin took out a small bottle of blue liquid from the storage bag on his waist and placed it on the table.

"I used this tool to block the silverback ape's movements, and then worked with others to kill it."

"Props?"

"What's in this bottle...slime?"

Aegina pushed up her glasses, moved closer, and looked at the liquid in the bottle curiously.

"Well, to be precise, it's a sticky slime solution."

"This slime can stick objects and things they touch together."

Merlin explained slowly, "I used this tool to block the Silverback Ape's movements."

"Eh, slime? Can it stick things together?"

Aegina was about to open the bottle and pour it out to check, but after hearing this, her hand trembled and she quickly put the bottle back on the table.

"There is such a magical prop?"

Aina couldn't help but look at the sticky slime solution in front of her with some surprise, a strong gleam in her eyes.

"Can I test it?"

"no problem."

After getting permission, Aegina immediately brought a teacup, poured some slime on the table, and finally placed the teacup on the slime.

After that, Aegina tried to separate the teacup from the table, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it. She even pulled the table up slightly, but the teacup was still firmly fixed on the table.

"Huh... This is too sticky. I believe you now."

Aegina, exhausted and sweating, finally had to give up. After taking a breath, she sat on the sofa and looked at Merlin.

"So, won't this kind of thing be impossible to separate once it sticks together?"

"No, the effect is time-limited to about an hour. There are also other methods that can be used to forcibly make the slime ineffective."

Merlin waved his hand slightly and explained.

"Other methods? What methods are those?" Aegina's curiosity was aroused.

Merlin uttered four words lightly.

"Trade secrets."

"Huh... I knew it."

Aegina leaned back on the sofa feeling a little lost, looking at Merlin with a gleam in her eyes.

"If you were to sell this mucus, which is effective even against silverback apes, you could easily fetch five thousand, no, ten thousand faris."

"So, you didn't make this prop yourself?"

"Yes."

Merlin immediately gave his approval and keenly sensed business opportunities from Aegina's words.

The air in the room fell silent at this moment. After a few seconds of silence, Aina stood up, placed her hands on the table, and leaned a little towards Merlin, her expression extremely serious.

"Merlin, I get off work at six o'clock. Please wait for me at the small door next to the guild."

"Okay," Merlin nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Hearing this, Aina's face lit up with joy. "Okay, it's settled."

After saying this, Aegina waved her hand happily and turned to leave.

Looking at her back, Merlin stroked his chin and thought seriously.

"Well, it seems I have to make up a reason why I can't go home tonight and convince Tiya."

When a woman takes the initiative to invite a man out on a date at night, any adult will understand the meaning behind this.

Well, some eunuchs are naturally excluded.

Chapter 14: This beautiful girl wants to scam me?

"Well, where should we go for a stroll before nightfall?"

After coming out of the Adventurer's Guild, Merlin stroked his chin and thought for a while, then walked towards the commercial district.

The magic stones gained from this expedition were exchanged for more than 50,000 faris in total, and this did not include the value of the dropped materials.

The value of many materials even exceeds that of magic stones.

The total income may have to double.

The total amount of funds invested in this expedition is only 30,000 faris.

And when the expedition ended, half of it was still unused.

In other words, the actual cost is only about 15,000 yuan.

The net income is about 90,000, which is something that ordinary LV1 adventurers can't even imagine.

After all, the average LV1 adventurer only earns 60,000 to 70,000 a month, and that’s assuming their weapons are not damaged or they are not seriously injured.

And now, Merlin only went into the maze once, and in just two days, he gained such benefits. If other adventurers knew about this, they would probably be drooling with envy.

However, only Merlin himself knew how much he, as an alchemist, needed money.

The more than 90,000 Fali were all used up in making a few props and equipment.

In order to make money faster, Merlin naturally wanted to expand his business.

Aegina's words earlier reminded him.

"The sale of sticky slime solution can be put on the agenda."

"However, the transaction partner must be carefully selected."

"Although larger stores can sell better, the commission rate is probably not low, and I don't want to waste too much time refining these things."

"But if a shop is too small and no one comes to it, it will be a problem."

"We'll think about these things later."

"I have over 80,000 Faris on hand, and the shield has been refined. Now all I need is to strengthen my attack."

"While this world has crossbows and the like, it doesn't have guns. And there are also magic swords."

"Then, if we create a magic spear based on the theory of the magic sword, it is also feasible, and then..."

Merlin was walking as he spoke, but at this moment, something soft suddenly bumped into him.

"what."

"ah!"

Merlin's thoughts were interrupted, and he realized that he had just bumped into a young girl.

She was a girl with silver-gray hair, wearing a green uniform with a white apron on the outside. There were tears in her gray eyes and an expression of grievance on her little face.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts..."

The silver-haired girl sat on the ground, rubbing her butt constantly, her little mouth slightly pouting.

"Oh, sorry I bumped into you."

Merlin immediately apologized and extended his hand toward the girl.

"No, I was wrong too. I left too fast just now."

The silver-haired girl grabbed Merlin's hand and stood up.

"Hello, Mr. Adventurer, my name is Xier, Xier Furoy."

"If possible, could you tell me your name?"

"Merlin."

"Master Lin?"

"No, Mademoiselle Froy, May is a name."

Merlin corrected the mistake made by the girl in front of him.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, Master Mei, just call me Xi'er."

Xier chuckled and looked at Merlin and said.

"That's nothing, Xier... Xier, are you okay?"

"If you're injured, I'll take you to a doctor...to a healer."

Merlin almost let the cat out of the bag, but quickly made up for it.

"Oh, that's okay. That's not necessary."

Xier quickly waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Well, is that so? Since you're okay, goodbye."

Merlin waved his hand and turned to leave.

After he finished speaking, Xier, who was standing there, was stunned.

Especially after seeing Merlin turn around without hesitation, she was even more confused.

Doesn't this person hesitate at all?

She said it was okay, but was she sure she didn't care?

And she thought to herself that she was quite cute.

Don’t you care...at all?

Seeing Merlin walking further and further away, Xier quickly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Merlin's clothes.

"Wait, Mr. Mei."

"What's wrong, Xi'er?"

Merlin turned around in confusion and looked at Xier.

Hmm...could this cute girl be planning to...blackmail him?

Are the 70,000 or 80,000 Faris in hand enough to settle the matter?

For a moment, Merlin began to doubt the thickness of his wallet.

"No, it's nothing serious. Mr. Mei, you are an adventurer, right?"

After Xier let go of Merlin's clothes, she looked at him straight and asked.

"Yeah," Merlin admitted directly. After all, this kind of thing can be known from the clothes.

"Well, please accept this as an apology."

Xier said, and like a magic trick, she took out a lunch box from somewhere and put it in Merlin's hand.

"this is……?"

Merlin was completely confused, not understanding the meaning of the bento in his hand.

"Mr. Mei, you can eat this when you're hungry in the maze."

Seele looked at Merlin with a bright smile on her face, tilting her head.

Merlin couldn't refuse that sunny and lovely smile.
