Their commission was suspicious.

While not all tasks that require a deposit are necessarily safe, they are at least more reliable than those that don't require a deposit.

Taverns are considered semi-official buildings. Each instance that meets the criteria for a safe point can have a merchant apply for a tavern. A registered tavern becomes like a mobile phone connected to the internet, able to receive common information from other taverns or taverns in other abyssal passages.

For example, right now, the 32 world-class quests scrolling on the electronic screen at the top of the tavern.

A world-class commission refers to a commission that is more valuable than a single artifact, and must include at least one artifact.

Even the Abyss Passage itself probably knows that ten high-level items are no match for a divine artifact, which is why this rule exists.

The request from the Void Clan to find Chen Luo was listed there, ranked nineteenth.

Chen Luo looked at those world commissions with envy.

Because anyone who can afford to pay such a high price to issue a commission must have an extremely strong obsession with it.

In other words, besides obtaining a magical artifact that is actually of little use to Chen Luo in the commission, Chen Luo can also obtain a considerable amount of raw stones.

In a sense, the people who commissioned these projects were all potential clients of Chen Luo.

Chen Luo's advice to the Abyss Passage included these commissions.

Chen Luo hoped that the Abyss Passage wouldn't be limited to world-class commissions; ideally, even lower-level commissions could be shared with other taverns.

After all, when Chen Luo commissions someone, he never looks at how much money they can come up with, only how many raw stones they can provide.

If someone with a deep obsession doesn't have a divine artifact, wouldn't Chen Luo be unable to see the other party's name on the world's commission list?

"If the tavern really gets replaced, the merchants who applied for it will probably cry themselves to death, won't they?" Yun Xia sighed.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yuan asked.

"Each tavern is applied for by a merchant, which is why merchants have a relatively high status in safe zones. However, merchants need to pay a large sum of money after applying for a tavern. If a merchant cannot come up with this money, they can apply for a loan..."

"To put it simply, it's like a private company applying for a high-speed rail line. But high-speed rail lines are very expensive, and if a merchant can't afford it right away, he can put the money on credit and then pay it off slowly through the tavern's various revenue streams. Once the debt is paid off, the tavern belongs to that merchant. That's why we had to pay 10 gold coins when we entered the tavern earlier. It's said that 8 out of the 10 gold coins are used to pay off the debt."

"But isn't this incredibly profitable? These businessmen are so lucky!" Liu Huaixi also dreamed of sitting back and collecting money in the future.

This isn't collecting money, it's collecting rent!

Moreover, there is no need to worry about danger while in a safe location.

Liu Huaixi used to envy Chen Luoneng for having a midnight bar.

Even if Chen Luo doesn't entertain guests, he can still meet his basic living needs.

Moreover, the bar has a very high level of protection, making it impossible for people to hurt each other. This is the home that Liu Huaixi, a person with an extremely strong will to survive, has always dreamed of!

"It is indeed very profitable, but don't forget that safe points can disappear, and the Abyss Passage has never stipulated that there can only be one tavern in a safe point..." Yun Lian'er's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"This abyss passage is really something. Such a high-yield, high-return investment project comes with even higher risks... Is this the gold coin buyback program?"

If a tavern in a safe spot becomes too popular and arouses the jealousy of other merchants, they might open another tavern nearby.

Then... the Abyss Passage might be the biggest winner!

As for the impact of the business loss caused by the two taverns?

What does that have to do with the Abyss Passage?

"No..." Chen Luo suddenly interrupted Yun Lian'er.

"Ok?"

"Don't overthink the Abyss Passage; it might just have forgotten to add a note. Don't mistake a small bug left by the developers for a minor detail," Chen Luo shook his head.

"You're not smart at all, your whole family is..."

The sound Chen Luo heard from the abyss passage suddenly stopped.

"Feel sorry"

Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction.

At least this abyss passage knows that personal attacks are not allowed, or rather, that one should not harm family members.

However, this also proves that the Abyss Passage has indeed been spying on us all along.

“The Abyss Passage will probably find a way to ensure both the tavern’s foot traffic and the Adventurers’ Guild’s successful event, for example… by promoting the Seven Saints Summoning within the tavern,” Chen Luo said, looking at the bar with its huge customer flow.

"Are you still thinking about your Seven Saints Summoning? Stop playing cards! You haven't finished your work yet!" Su Yuan rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

Chen Luo has always been dedicated to finding things for the bar's customers to do, such as constantly improving the Seven Saints Summoning.

Because everyone can add new cards, the gameplay of Seven Saints Summoning is becoming more and more diverse, at least it doesn't feel like being in prison when developing your cards...

The character cards in the Seven Saints Summoning can be developed. Although even when developed to their peak, only 1/10 of the character's abilities can be used, Chen Luo believes that talented individuals would certainly not mind having more ways to fight enemies.

Of course, Chen Luo's enthusiasm for this is naturally because it will also benefit him.

As the producer of this special card sleeve, Chen Luo can obtain ownership of all the cards, including the character cards.

Chen Luo didn't want their character cards for their abilities, but rather to use them to summon the Book of Friends.

These character cards can be summoned by either a fixed user through the Summoning Bell or by another user through the Book of Friends.

Chen Luo wouldn't target ordinary talented individuals, but what if some powerful figures were curious about the workings of the Seven Saints Summoning technique and registered an account...?

Chen Luo can then summon the enemy and launch a precise strike!

Furthermore, after the Seven Saints Summoning Duel, when both sides gain experience points, they will also hand over a portion of those experience points to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo can be used to train cards that you like.

When handing over the 100 dolls to the Abyss Passage, let's also send over 1000 card boxes; the cost isn't high anyway.

"By the way, do you have any suggestions regarding the design of the mascot for the Abyss Pass Adventurers' Guild?" Chen Luo suddenly turned his head and asked.

"Cousin, what do you think of me?" Su Yuan stood up, raised her sword, and struck what she thought was a very cool pose.

"Very handsome, but it would be even better without that white ribbon on his forehead," Chen Luo praised.

"Don't mention that ribbon, the most important thing right now is the signboard girl. Cousin, what do you think of me?" Su Yuan asked hurriedly.

"It's possible... but Xiaoyuan, have you ever thought that if I were to make you into a mascot, I would need to understand your body measurements first, and then recreate you 1:1? Have you really thought about how you would feel when you see more than 100 versions of yourself? And these more than 100 versions of yourself would be standing in various places in the Abyss Passage for people to visit."

To be fair, Su Yuan is very cute, an exceptionally beautiful girl, and a little sword immortal with a very free and easy temperament.

When Su Yuan goes shopping, she always has to give herself a subtle hint, otherwise she's likely to attract unwanted attention from boys and even girls.

Especially girls.

"...Never mind what I said." Su Yuan merely imagined the scene, and immediately sat down obediently.

Forget it.

Having more than 100 versions of yourself sounds really awkward.

And this is only the first batch of dolls; there may be more in the future.

And that 1:1 body measurement...

Su Yuan looked at Chen Luo warily.

Really? No one would actually plan to harm their own aunt?

"..." Chen Luo took out the Friendship Revolver and slammed it on the table.

Su Yuan was so frightened that she trembled three times.

Damn it, what if my nephew overheard my thoughts?

Chen Luo pointed the muzzle of the Friendship Revolver at Su Yuan.

"Cousin, cousin, cousin, put the gun away!" Su Yuan instantly ran behind Bai Zhi, using Bai Zhi as a shield.

"Forget it, asking you guys directly is still too inefficient. I'll ask about the Abyss Passage instead."

To be fair, Chen Luo's task was only to make dolls, but it didn't say that he was also required to design them.

This is at a different price!

One minute later...

[The Abyss Passage is about to receive a major update, adding a new Adventurers' Guild. Voting for the Adventurers' Guild's doll staff is now open. Please choose your favorite design from the following nine options. Your choice may determine the Adventurers' Guild's mascot, so please vote carefully.]

All beings in the Abyss Passage, whether NPCs, gifted individuals from the Spirit Realm, or cultivators from the Abyss Realm, heard these words.

No one was surprised. Although such a broadcast to the entire audience was rare, it was not unheard of.

Everyone was more concerned with the information about the adventurers' guild and the significance of this event. And then there was the subsequent poll about the mascot girl.

When everyone eagerly looked down, they saw nine figures and their corresponding introductions.

Looking at these options, everyone at Chen Luo's table turned to look at him.

"Cousin, are you... serious?"

"To be honest, there's not a single likable character among them!!!"

Chapter 1136 Trying to trick Cupid into coming home as his wife?!

"Damn it! What kind of garbage options are these?"

"Bishop Otto is the best in the world!"

"The person who came up with this question must have been heartbroken by a jerk, right?"

"Bishop Otto is the best in the world!"

"Either it's a perverted, evil party controlling him. But what decent person would control Cupid?"

"Bishop Otto is the best in the world!"

"I find each of these options increasingly disgusting. The Abyss Passage's head must have been kicked by a donkey!"

"Bishop Otto is the best in the world!"

"Isn't there a single normal option among these broken options?"
