Their commission was suspicious.

In fact, this refrigerator is completely just for show.

If it were Chen Luo, anything he wanted to be automatically crafted would appear directly in his inventory. This refrigerator was actually a temporary addition to make things easier for Raven to understand.

"Now take this out and give it to the customer who ordered it," Chen Luo said after placing the tricolor dumpling in Raven's hand.

"Oh." Raven walked out of the small kitchen with a bewildered look, then walked out of the bar, and placed the plate of tricolor dumplings on Saigyouji Yuyuko's table.

"Thank you." Saigyouji Yuyuko nodded to the other person.

"You're welcome." Raven nodded politely and walked back to the bar.

After the raven went back, it saw that the commission on the panel had a checkmark next to it.

"Does this mean the commission is complete? And you earned $400?" Raven looked at Chen Luo in surprise.

"Of course, if you click this checkmark again, the commission will disappear, and two stars will appear in the lower right corner of the panel. These are your work points. One work point represents one star, and one star represents $200." After Chen Luo clicked the checkmark, the commission disappeared instantly, and the number 0 in the lower right corner changed to the number 2.

"This speed at which they're making money... it's like robbery." Raven was momentarily at a loss.

Actually, $400 isn't a small amount, but it's not a large amount either. However, the whole process only took one minute to earn $400.

Isn't this better than risking your life?

"Besides the other party making the request, you can also make it yourself, like I just did. The other party clearly didn't want to eat the tricolor dumplings, but after I asked, they wanted to eat them, so the request appeared. You should understand what this means, right?"

"Sales?" The raven blurted out the word.

"Pretty much. Basically, the request will only appear when the other party actually wants it. Just follow this approach when you're selling. If the other party wants food, go to the refrigerator and get it. If they want alcohol, knock on the bar and get it from under the bar." Chen Luo said, knocking on the bar and then gesturing for Raven to bend down.

After the raven bent down slightly, it saw a drink appear in the compartment below the bar.

"Your bar is truly amazing." Raven's eyes gleamed with wonder.

"Anyway, what do you think of this job?" Chen Luo asked Raven for her opinion.

"It feels like I'm going back to my old profession. Come to think of it, I originally wanted to open my own small shop, save money slowly, and live a good life. Well, I'll take this job." Raven nodded with a mix of nostalgia and satisfaction.

While this job may not yield tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single commission, its advantages lie in its stability, tranquility, and security.

At the same time, you can earn $400 per minute, and $24,000 in 60 minutes, which is like making a fortune every day.

"If someone wants to find me or the number of stars exceeds 10, just press this red button on the panel and I will know."

"Yes." The raven nodded.

"One work point can be exchanged for $200. Of course, if possible, I don't recommend that you exchange it for US dollars or gold."

"Why?" the raven asked curiously.

"Because you can accumulate work points, and once you have enough work points, you can tell me your wish."

"A wish? What wish?"

“Any wish is acceptable,” Chen Luo said firmly.

"for example?"

"No examples, as long as the wish does not violate my principles, it is fine, and when using work points to make a wish, you can also get $100 for each work point consumed."

Raven helps Chen Luo receive guests and earns him raw stones, and in return, Raven earns work points.

If Raven wants to use work points to get Chen Luo to help her fulfill her wish, Raven will definitely create a request herself, so Chen Luo will also get a gem after completing the request.

Well... you might make a profit, but Chen Luo will never lose.

If Chen Luo hadn't felt that making the other party work for him for free was too capitalist, he wouldn't have proposed the rule that one could earn $100 for every work point spent.

Chapter 167 The price of treasure identification is...+∞?

“I suddenly realize that hiring you as my bartender was one of the best things I’ve done in the last few days,” Chen Luo said, leaning on the bar and staring intently at Raven.

"Even though you're my boss now, don't keep staring at me, okay? Or I'll tell you about professional harassment." After giving Bronya a glass of vodka and then enticing her to have an extra-strength vodka, followed by another extra-strength vodka, Raven looked at Chen Luo helplessly and said.

"If it were me, I would at most give the other party the vodka Bronya asked for, but you actually managed to persuade them to place three requests in a row. You really are... I'm really growing to like you more and more, Raven," Chen Luo said somewhat involuntarily.

The original 10 Primogems yielded a staggering 30 Primogems, which made Chen Luo regret not having brought Raven to work here sooner.

Chen Luo's bar has only been open for about 10 days, and what Chen Luo is best at is actually taking advantage of customers, rather than matching drinks to the bar's customers.

In fact, Chen Luo and Raven each have their own strengths when it comes to completing commissions.

Raven excels at offering a more enhanced version of a drink after the other person has already had one, thus satisfying their expectations. However, Raven is less proactive in this regard; in other words, it is not good at actively taking advantage of customers, but rather at promoting a series of drinks.

Chen Luo is better at seeing through people's hearts and understanding their desires. Moreover, his knowledge of these anime characters often brings him considerable benefits.

Of course, another point is that the raven has no achievements, so it naturally doesn't have any achievement bonuses. If a strange guest comes, the guest might even turn around and leave.

Even regular customers can be influenced by this.

Chen Luo's achievements cover a very wide range, or rather, all of them. There is no creature in this world that Chen Luo cannot increase favorability with!

That is the core of this bar.

This made Chen Luo wonder if the reason why this talent panel hadn't appeared for two years was just to wait for him to unlock the "Chen the Great Philanthropist" achievement.

If Chen Luo and Raven were to team up to sell alcohol, they could definitely make a fortune.

"..." Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Raven, who was wiping a wine glass, paused for a moment, then tugged at his hat.

"Is this workplace harassment?" Raven muttered.

"No, no, I'm just stating the facts. If it's alright, Raven, could you please come every night?"

"I'll come when I'm not on a mission or when I'm free." After hesitating for a moment, Raven nodded.

After all, Chen Luo's bar is safe and relaxing enough; he just needs to chat with the customers.

And coincidentally, the raven is very good at gathering intelligence and knows a lot about alcohol, so the work points earned are very high.

"Actually, if you need anything, you can just use your work points to ask me for help. If it's just to get you out of work, I'll only charge a few work points as a token fee. For example, if you want to carry out a mission, just ask me. As a Herrscher of Domination and a Herrscher of Corruption, I can easily crush everything in the Honkai world for you. As long as you're not assassinating a head of state, there won't be any problems," Chen Luo said very proactively.

"Why are you so eager? Honestly," Raven said, speechless.

"Hey, Raven, why don't you resign from World Serpent?" Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Huh? I resigned from World Serpent? Then you'll support me? Will you support Xiaokong and the others?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"I'll take care of you, and Xiao Kong and the others' problems will be easy to solve. As for me, I don't have much influence in my own world, but in the Honkai world, while it might be an exaggeration to say I can walk around like a madman, it's no problem to say I can act with impunity," Chen Luo said with considerable confidence.

Chen Luo's "Collapse Terminator" technique can solve 99% of force-related problems.

Chen Luo, who is too deeply involved with Honkai, may not be able to defeat them, but the Honkai Terminator can teach them a lesson.

Those not connected to Honkai energy are rendered useless by the Honkai Terminator, but Chen Luo could easily crush someone of that strength with one hand.

The combined abilities of the Law of Domination, the Law of Corruption, and the Law of Knowledge can resolve 99% of non-military issues.

"Alright, alright, I'll come to the bar often, really. Let me tell you, bosses with such a humble attitude like you are prone to losing employees, or employees might take the opportunity to raise prices or something." After reluctantly agreeing, Raven didn't forget to teach Chen Luo some business wisdom.

"That's good. Raven, my raven..."

Chen Luo felt he was getting closer and closer to his goal of sleeping with the bartender in the attic on the third floor.

Whoops, just kidding.

However, Raven did a really good job as a bartender.

Chen Luo had long been thinking about finding a waiter or bartender for the bar.

At first, Chen Luo naturally thought of some famous bartenders in anime and games.

Take Diona, the bartender in Genshin Impact, for example. She's an excellent bartender, but Chen Luo rejected her the moment he thought of her.

Even a terrible bartender can make a decent drink with the help of the bar. So bartending skills aren't the most important thing; the most important thing is how to squeeze more money out of customers.

Given Diona's dislike for alcoholics, she probably drove all the businesses away.

Then Chen Luo thought of using a puppet as a substitute, which was a very good idea, but there was no suitable candidate yet.

But today's sudden inspiration led Chen Luo to find an excellent bartender.

Of course, Raven, the bartender, is not without his flaws.

That's Raven's bartending and cooking skills; those are real dishes.

I've just crossed the threshold of beginner and barely reached the proficient level.

Even with the support of a bar, one can at most improve their cooking and bartending skills to the master level.

This is nowhere near as good as the ones Chen Luo made by hand.

Therefore, while Raven was working as a bartender, Chen Luo also had to stay in the bar, serving as the template for the bar's automated production of alcoholic beverages and food.

"By the way, Raven, do you have any work clothes? This outfit would be perfect for a mercenary, but it might be a bit too much for a bartender..." Chen Luo said tactfully after looking Raven up and down.

"Yes, I do have them, and of course you can wear them, but..."

"But what?"

"You'll have to pay more."

"...No problem, you'll get two work points every day if you wear the uniform to work." Chen Luo paused for a moment and then nodded.

In any case, work points are of no value to Chen Luo.

If the raven wants to exchange work points for a wish, then the other party must want to fulfill that wish, so naturally a corresponding request will be made.

As compensation, giving the other party the additional $100 was even simpler for Chen Luo.

Even without using his massive gold reserves, Chen Luo could easily use the power of the Herrscher of Corruption to siphon off a portion of ill-gotten gains from a wealthy but unscrupulous businessman or politician, launder it through various channels, and then transfer it to Raven's account.

With ravens promoting their services, Chen Luo was only responsible for watching to make sure there were no missed commissions. This greatly reduced Chen Luo's mental activity, making it easier for him to resist the murderous aura and malevolent energy that were impacting his mind.

Moreover, even when not resisting the killing intent and evil energy, Chen Luo can concentrate on carving his puppets, which saves him a lot of time.

"By the way, Chen Luo, when are you going to World Serpent? Tomorrow will be the 5th day." Raven suddenly said to Chen Luo after seeing that there were no guests and that Chen Luo was in a drowsy state.

"Huh? It's already been 5 days? So fast?" Chen Luo, who was using killing intent and baleful aura to enhance his mental strength, asked after a moment of surprise.

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

"..." Chen Luo paused for a moment, then looked up at the 9% discount countdown on the talent panel.

"Raven, although I'm in a brain-damaged state right now, I'm not really brain-damaged. Tomorrow is only the fourth day, okay?" Chen Luo sighed helplessly.

"Oh, really? Then I must have misremembered. So when are you going?" Raven paused in wiping the cup.

Actually, the bar's glasses and plates don't need to be cleaned up by the staff because they are automatically recycled. But Raven, who comes from a bar background, is used to wiping the glasses.

You can't exactly clean a gun in a bar, can you?

"How about the day after tomorrow?" Chen Luo thought for a moment and said.

In fact, if Raven hadn't reminded Chen Luo that it was on his schedule, he would have completely forgotten about it.

Chen Luo had actually been avoiding getting entangled with the people of the Paradise of the Past.

Chen Luo was unsure whether those heroes recognized him or how much they knew about him. He wondered if meeting them would affect his actions 5 years ago.

If I change my course of action, will it have a significant impact on the world?

Sometimes knowing your fate in advance isn't a good thing.

However, the World Serpent is not entirely equivalent to the Pure Land of the Afterlife, so the problem is not too big.

Although the above speculations sound somewhat timid, this is exactly what Chen Luo, who feels as if he bears the fate of the entire world on his shoulders, thinks.

In his spare time, Chen Luo sometimes wondered if he had encountered Mebius instead of the Herald of Knowledge earlier, would he have not hesitated to save the previous civilization?

Or perhaps Chen Luo never met Theresa, never received the mission to find Kiana, never met Mei and the others, never knew Raven, never knew Sora... and was completely cut off from the Honkai Impact 3rd world!

Would I then do my best to save the previous civilization?

Chen Luo, caught between two worlds, is now under considerable pressure.

After all, if he wanted to, he could indeed kill the Herrscher of the End.

"The day after tomorrow? Sure. But not tomorrow?"

"I probably won't have time tomorrow. I have to save the world tomorrow," Chen Luo said helplessly.

"Saving the world? If you don't want to go, you don't want to go. Why make excuses?" Raven rolled her eyes at Chen Luo.

"Okay, to be honest with you, I was actually planning to go and slay a dragon, and then drag out some abyss prince and beat him up," Chen Luo said truthfully.

This time, Chen Luoke wasn't lying; it was the truth.
