Bilbo had encountered a nearly unsolvable problem.
He wanted to work for Thor, and for some reason, he would rather work for free than take any money.
Thor, however, asked him to name his price.
Pay first, work later!
Bilbo knew very well that any part-time job or work that required upfront payment was a
scam.
Thor actually wanted to politely refuse Bilbo.
But Bilbo really needed Thor’s help.
Weighing the pros and cons, Bilbo gritted his teeth and said,
“Master Thor, the Baggins family was once the richest in the Core City of Truth…”
Mike nodded slightly, he knew about this.
And then?
Bilbo looked at Manager Foreskin with pleading eyes.
After the Baggins family went bankrupt, most goblins were in debt, and in order to repay their debts, they all worked for Foreskin.
After the Mystic Market was established, the Baggins goblins naturally became the labor force of the Mystic Market.
The money they earned wasn’t even enough to cover the interest.
Bilbo continued, “When the demon god in the Abyss escaped from the Temple of Truth, he borrowed half of the Baggins family’s wealth, and I have the IOU!”
Foreskin nodded in acknowledgment, “It’s true.”
Paying wages with an IOU?
However, Mike understood.
The goblins were bankrupt, there was no more money to squeeze out of them!
Mike pondered, “How much did the Ninth Demon God borrow from the Baggins family?”
Bilbo took out an IOU, “198 pieces of SS-level equipment, 6494 pieces of S-level equipment, 603.1 billion Truth coins…”
It had to be said that the things the Ninth Demon God borrowed were astonishing!
The 603.1 billion Truth coins alone were equivalent to 603,100 Lord merits!
Not to forget, this debt was from 100 years ago.
The interest over the years would have already exceeded trillions!
This IOU was nothing but a piece of waste paper in Bilbo’s hands.
He didn’t have the guts to ask the Ninth Demon God for the debt.
However, if it was Thor, would the Ninth Demon God dare not to pay? “Deal!”
Mike took the IOU and shook Bilbo’s hand, “Congratulations on joining the sheepfold!” Bilbo: ???
After signing the contract, Mike took Bilbo back to his private space.
…
Private space.
On Bilbo’s first day at work, Mike, as the generous boss, first took Bilbo to the Money Tree.
When Bilbo saw the Money Tree, he cried.
“This is the heirloom of the Baggins family…”
Obviously, the largest Money Tree was in Foreskin’s hands.
The one given to Mike was the best quality one in recent years.
“Shake it.”
Mike instructed,
“No matter what you shake out, I won’t charge you!”
Bilbo stepped forward and shook it, a specially made Truth coin fell out, more than ten times larger than ordinary coins!
It was no longer a Truth coin, it should be called a Truth pancake.
Mike put the Truth pancake in his pocket and added,
“From now on, when Bilbo shakes it, he pays no processing fees!”
This was a lucky star!
Unlike that unlucky Fool.
The welcome ceremony for the new employee ended here. Mike took Bilbo to the werewolf
Dorian and instructed him to hand over the accounts.
After all this was done, Mike went to find Dracula.
“Where’s the Nature Elf Envoy?”
Mike only saw the White Wolf King, but not the captive.
Did Dracula seal her in the radio?
Seeing Thor return, Vladimir quickly put down the chicken leg in his hand and came closer, whispering a few explanations.
“This is outrageous!”
Mike was furious, after the Nature Elf Envoy was captured and brought back to the private space, Vladimir and the others hadn’t even had time to interrogate her.
Fool happened to pass by and took her away under the pretext of “I just happen to need a maid.”
Mike immediately went to find Fool to settle the score, “Do you know how much it cost to catch her!”
As a demon race who was well-versed in Thor’s personality, Fool used three sentences to make Mike give up on demanding the Nature Elf Envoy.
“The Nature Elf Envoy’s weapon is an SS-level equipment called the Sun Eater Bow, the kind
that can be upgraded to SSS-level.”
“I can upgrade it for you for free.”
After hearing this, Mike immediately patted his chest and said that she was just an Elf, and
you could take her if you liked!
If it wasn’t enough, he would catch a few more elves with SS-level equipment another day! Fool rolled his eyes and ignored Thor’s last words.
“Boss, the accounts are done.”
Bilbo handed a tablet to Mike.
In less than five minutes, he had organized the accounts of the private space for the past
month.
Income, expenses, losses, balance…
Everything was in order, not a penny was missing.
The financial manager Foreskin found for him was absolutely professional!
“By the way, how did you go bankrupt?”
Mike suddenly asked while checking the accounts.
With the professionalism Bilbo displayed, if all goblins were at this level, even if they lost to
Foreskin in the business world, logically speaking, they shouldn’t have ended up so
miserably.
This topic interested quite a few people.
Vladimir and Dracula also wandered nearby, pricking up their ears.
Fool also had a curious look on his face, looking this way, waiting for the next part of the
story.
Speaking of this topic, Bilbo’s eyes reddened.
“I don’t know either…”
With a hint of choking in his voice, Bilbo recounted the sad past,
“To secure the Baggins family’s wealth and status, we wanted to diversify our investments,
and we also invested in the human race.”
Mike was even more puzzled, if they invested in the human race, why did the goblins still fail
miserably?
“That shouldn’t be, where did it go wrong?”
“We don’t know either.”
Bilbo shook his head, spread his small hands, and said helplessly,
“To show our goodwill, we even hired a powerful human expert…”
“Wait!”
Mike’s expression turned strange, as if he had thought of something, and asked tentatively,
“Was this expert you hired on good terms with Morpheus and the others?”
Bilbo nodded, “Yes!”
They invested in this expert because they wanted to curry favor with the supreme beings of
the human race.
Mike continued to ask, “Was he a devotee of the gods, especially favored by the gods?”
“Yes!”
“Did he have a lot of powerful equipment?” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
“Yes!”
Mike said with a bitter smile,
“Was his ID in the Tower of Truth ‘Good Luck’?”
“That’s right, boss!”
Bilbo looked at Mike with a confused expression, not understanding.
“Is there a problem?”
Mike fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The human expert the Baggins family invested in… was Afterskin!
If he didn’t go bankrupt, who would?
Mike suddenly understood, Foreskin and Afterskin were a perfect match!
Whoever had business competition with Foreskin, Foreskin would just send Afterskin over, and the problem would be solved.
