Their commission was suspicious.

"No, no need, I don't plan to sell memory bread for the time being!" Sangbo shook his head quickly, as if he had thought of something.

After selling your twenty-odd Memory Breads, he used all the money to buy supplies. But don't be too happy yet, he also sold 100 counterfeit Memory Breads!

"Sambo... I told you, I advised you not to use memory bread to deceive people." Hearing the humanized plugin's words, Chen Luo's face gradually became expressionless.

"Huh? What are you saying? I don't understand." Sangbo looked puzzled.

"Forget it, you'll be the one who suffers later anyway..." Chen Luo pursed his lips.

[Aha gifted a set of Imperial Jade Tokens and left a message: Let's fight! Let's fight!]

"……grass."

Chen Luo had never seen a star god treat his followers like this.

"It's good that you don't blame me." Sangbo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chen Luo's reply.

"I'm sorry, Sambo, I've changed my mind, but... I didn't want to either." Chen Luo lowered his head for a moment before raising it again.

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

"Well... just now Aha told me he wanted to see some fun."

"Huh?" Sangbo was momentarily unsure whether Chen Luo was making fun of him or if Chen Luo had truly received a divine decree.

“But now it’s just the two of us here, where do you think I’m going to find some fun?” Chen Luo took out a rope woven from silk threads infused with the power of the Herrscher of Binding and said to Sangbo with a smile.

“…You?” Sambo asked tentatively.

"Incorrect answer."

“…Me?” Sangbo broke out in a cold sweat.

Regardless of whether Aha wanted to make a scene or not, the fact remains that Sangbo is no match for Chen Luo.

“I’ve suddenly had a great idea. Sambo, you have a warrant for your arrest in the Upper District, right?”

Yes, it is, but why are you asking?

"How about we give it a try? If the criminal turns himself in, can he get the reward?"

"Goodbye!" Sambo immediately made his escape.

He said goodbye, but Sambo didn't move an inch. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he couldn't.

"Oh dear, you two-faced fellow. I suppose you don't want to disappoint Aha, right?" Chen Luo said with a smile.

Sambo, you wouldn't want to hurt your idol, Aha, would you...?

"So now, do you want to maintain your dignity, or do you want me to help you maintain your dignity?"

That said, if a criminal turns himself in to claim the bounty on his wanted poster, but is then reported and arrested, does that still count as a surrender? And who gets the bounty?

Chen Luo was very curious.

Chapter 1439 Pella: Please, some adults, stop imitating children so casually (Bonus Chapter)

"Sister Pera, it's him!" a child said, pointing at Chen Luo.

“Sister Pera, that’s me!” Chen Luo said, pointing to himself.

"Please, adults, don't act like children without a care in the world." The petite girl, known as Sister Pera, pushed up her glasses.

Pelagia Sergeevna, a meticulous Silvermane Iron Guard intelligence officer, is young but exceptionally intelligent.

Of course, she also wore black stockings that were very much a hallmark of the upper-class clothing of Belleberg, and what was even more surprising was that the black stockings on "Sister Pera's" legs even had a ruler on them.

It's hard not to wonder what this ruler is actually for.

"But I'm only a 17-year-old kid."

“…” Pera wanted to say that she wasn’t that old either, but she was surprised by Chen Luo’s youth.

Is it possible to grow this tall at such a young age?

Pera looked up at Chen Luo.

"Let's stop talking about these boring things and get back to the main topic. He told me you have information about that blue-haired conman, right?" After looking Chen Luo up and down, Pera hesitated for a moment before putting the matter aside for the time being.

Compared to the "child" in front of them who might seem a little suspicious, the blue-haired conman who used the magical prop frame to deceive a large number of victims was definitely more despicable!

That person actually used 20 magical items to open up sales channels in the upper-class society of the upper district, and then used ordinary bread boxes to swindle dozens of middle-class and above families.

Even disregarding the severity of the offense, the amount of money involved in his case is enormous.

Besides, since he already called her Sister Pera, she felt embarrassed to continue "bullying" him.

It felt strange to be called "Sister Pera" by someone taller than myself.

“That’s right, it’s me.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Alright, Xiao Ge, go play." Chen Luo patted the child next to him and then took out five lollipops.

"Thank you, Brother Chen Luo!" After receiving the five lollipops, the child waved to Chen Luo and went to find his four other friends.

“You’re essentially employing child labor,” Pera warned.

“There’s no money being paid, so how can it be considered child labor? Besides, I only asked the children to help me find you because I didn’t know where you were, Sister Pera. After all, that blue-haired liar is really despicable!” Chen Luo retorted.

“I’m not warning you, I’m just reminding you.” Pera shook her head, not commenting further on the matter.

[As it turns out, the saying "Don't underestimate a young person's potential" is indeed effective, especially when you're broke.]

Since Chen Luo is now legally considered a penniless pauper, the "Don't underestimate a young man's poverty" effect has been fully activated.

It seems that even though Pella, the Silvermane Iron Guard's intelligence officer, noticed that Chen Luo was somewhat out of place with the upper district of Belloberg, she still didn't make a big deal out of it.

This isn't simply because of that blue-haired conman.

The saying "Don't underestimate a young man's potential" allows Chen Luo to evoke compassion in others to the greatest extent possible.

Chen Luo is so cute, how can you bear to bully him?

Probably that's it.

In terms of the level of care, it's roughly equivalent to a mother taking care of her child, right?

Chen Luo didn't quite understand, because even the user-friendly plugin couldn't analyze the skill "Don't underestimate a young man's potential," or rather, the user-friendly plugin couldn't analyze most of Chen Luo's skills.

But if you ask me, you really should have followed local customs. Everyone else is wearing black stockings and you're not...

"roll."

Okay.

"Now let's talk about that blue-haired conman." Pera stood on tiptoe and waved her hand in front of Chen Luo, drawing his attention back.

"Oh, sorry, I was just watching the blue-haired conman. Doesn't that guy over there look like him? That's right, that's him!" Chen Luo pulled Pera aside to hide next to the Eternal Winter Inscription, then pointed to a girl with long blue hair and said.

"Hmm?" Pera frowned.

"Not all blue-haired people are called 'blue-haired liars.' 'Blue-haired liar' actually refers to..."

"No need to say more, I know. But that person is wearing a blue wig. I'm 100% sure he's that blue-haired conman Sambo! Sambo is extremely good at cross-dressing. Even if we can't catch him, we can at least tug on his wig during a routine check. And if it's not Sambo, we can just apologize." Chen Luo whispered from the side.

“I was actually following him the whole time and watched him put on the wig. I was worried he would run away, so I went to find the child and you, Sister Pera.”

"Don't call me Sister Pera..."

success.

"What you said makes sense, at worst we can just apologize. But since you filed the report under your real name, you'll come with me. Don't worry, I'll bring Iron Guard with me. I can absolutely guarantee your safety."

"Whether it's safe or not isn't important. I just want to know if this blue-haired conman is on the wanted list?"

"That's right, so what?"

"Then I'll report him. If I succeed, is there a reward?"

“Yes, and quite a lot, because his heinous acts in the upper district led many middle-class and above families who were scammed to sign a petition and increase the bounty. The premise is that he really is that blue-haired conman. Any questions? If not, we'll arrest him.” Pera glanced at the blue-haired figure, then led Chen Luo to the nearby duty station to call for backup.

"No problem... wait, there's still one problem."

"Ask away, as soon as possible."

"Just suppose, I mean, if a criminal sees the bounty on his head and decides to turn himself in, would he be able to collect the bounty?"

"No...probably. Maybe he'll give a portion of the reward and then transfer it to someone he designates who truly needs help," Pella said uncertainly.

"If the criminal surrenders, could the punishment be mitigated?"

“This regulation does exist, and it can be used to reduce sentences appropriately,” Pera nodded.

"If the criminal is caught by the guards on duty on his way to surrender, will his sentence be reduced?"

“…I’m just an intelligence officer, you’ll have to ask a lawyer or a judge for that.” Pera sighed.

You can't make things difficult for me like this.

"And why are there so many 'what ifs'? They're gone, they've made an arrest. Just a friendly reminder, if your real-name report is wrong, you might be charged with false accusation. It's not too late to withdraw your report now."

Perhaps out of concern that Chen Luo might go astray, Pera offered this friendly reminder.

I didn't really feel anything before, but now I realize that the phrase "Don't underestimate a young person's potential" is really useful.

……

"Madam, please cooperate with the routine check."

"wig?"

"That's him! Arrest him!"

Just as Chen Luo had suggested, Pera and Chen Luo did not show themselves at first. Instead, they hid in the shadows while a full-time uniformed guard came forward to conduct a routine inspection. Then, one of the guards "accidentally" pulled off the blue-haired lady's wig.

"This is a misunderstanding. You might not believe it, but I went to turn myself in," Sambo tried to argue after being arrested, but no one listened.

"Blue-haired liar, I am now charging you with possession of wigs, theft, fraud, and robbery. The amount involved is enormous, and the nature of the crimes is extremely heinous! You will never get out of prison for the rest of your life!" After the Iron Guards apprehended the blue-haired liar, Pera led Chen Luo out.

The crime of possessing wigs... There really is such a crime, because not long ago there was a blue-haired conman who was good at dressing up as a woman and causing trouble in the upper echelons, so the Prime Minister ordered that all wigs be collected and destroyed in a centralized manner.

Who is that blue-haired conman?

Those familiar with Sambo can probably guess his true identity.

"At least call me by my name! Don't call me that 'blue-haired liar,' okay? Even just calling me 'Bo-san' would be fine!"

"Wait, Chen Luo, what are you doing here?" Sangbo stared blankly at Chen Luo standing behind Pera for a moment, then a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

Trying to persuade a criminal to surrender for various reasons, then demanding a reward, only to have the unfortunate criminal get caught on his way to surrender... that's really hilarious.

But the premise is that this fun isn't for yourself!

"Blue-haired liar! We've finally caught you! You despicable culprit who has brought ruin to the entire upper district of Belleburg!" Chen Luo angrily accused Sambo.

Of course, this isn't entirely baseless speculation, since Sambo did indeed come here with his memory bread to deceive people.

The money from selling the memory bread was indeed used to buy supplies and sent to the lower districts, but the money Sambo swindled was not used; she kept it for herself.

"You bastard... I'm reporting you! I'm reporting you! The guy next to you is with me! I know his name, Chen Luo!" Sang Bo gritted his teeth, trying to drag Chen Luo down with him.

Just have fun, have fun, those who have fun will eventually become fun themselves!

"What are you talking about? I'm a concerned citizen who reported that blue-haired liar, right? Sister Pera." Chen Luo hid behind Pera again.

"Don't call me Sister Pera... Forget it, let's take this blue-haired liar back to the Iron Guard." Pera was completely unmoved by Sambo's accusations against Chen Luo.

“He really is my companion…” Sambo tried to explain.

“That’s right, I am his companion.” Chen Luo put his hands on his hips.

"Alright, stop fooling around and take that blue-haired liar away."

“He really is my comrade, and I really did come to turn myself in. You can’t treat someone who is trying to reform like this.”

Sambo kept grumbling, but he still obediently followed the guard.

Because it's a contract. Who told Sambo to break the contract by selling 20 Memory Breads and then using ordinary bread to swindle people?

"Goodbye, you blue-haired liar. I'll use your bounty to buy supplies and distribute them to those in need. I'll even erect a monument for you in the end," Chen Luo said, waving to Sambo from behind his sister Pera.
