The Wine Angel donned his robe and went out, covering those hairy, booze-wet legs.
Standing in front of Chun like a giant: "You're the one who wants to help me with advertising, huh?"
Chun was genuinely stunned by his presence: "Yes!"
The Wine Angel reached out his hand: "Ten thousand for the ad!"
—System prompt: The Wine Angel is asking you for a ten thousand advertising fee. Do you agree?
This! No, what's going on?
Chun was stunned: "What advertising fee?"
The Wine Angel's face darkened: "Of course, it's the fee for inviting the newspaper to come and shoot the ad! You said it, if you dare go back on your word, I'll beat you up!"
Ah, so this is what an advertisement is! Feels...
Alright! Even the third-to-last place needs to have a presence — pay the ten thousand!
The Wine Angel laughed heartily: "Wait here!"
After speaking, he waved his wings to close the door and shot up into the sky, disappearing above the alley.
Well, roughly understood his personality, simply a straightforward and hot-tempered character, even if he's a rogue, he's probably easier to negotiate with than a twisted personality. Kind of like Tie when he turns dark...
Looking over at the two Enchanting Demons, they seemed already excited about becoming advertising models and were striking poses.
Speaking of which, these two are quite good to work with, maybe I should reserve a couple of guild membership slots for them too? Their advantage is a complex background that can open many doors, but their disadvantage is also a complex background with no secrets... tough call!
However, if the five similarly complex-background mercenaries are willing to join, then there's no need to worry about secrecy. This is all about an open strategy, running crazily on boss-foolish open-door politics... Of course, as long as you can survive this first task.
Soon, laughter came from the sky, it was the Wine Angel with several suit-and-tie Flying Demons carrying briefcases flying over.
The Wine Angel laughed: "Ladies, let's get to work!"
The Flying Demons clapped their briefcases together, and all sorts of photography and filming equipment were revealed!
With a wave of spatial fluctuation spreading across the scene, the previously old and dilapidated workshop suddenly became splendid and radiant! The messy and filthy scenes inside became so luxurious and clean that even mom wouldn't recognize it!
Holy shit, this is how we're playing this, huh!
Chun was truly eye-opened, although he knew the Five Great Cities often had such scenes for various posters, the art and the real person weren't much different, but now this scene—no wonder it's Hell! After all, even a Little Demon can be beautified into a Little Angel.
Then came the filming crew guiding the two Enchanting Demons into wine barrels that turned transparent like glass, guiding them through the wine stomping actions while smiling seductively and tossing clothes, then from beneath the barrels pressed out crystal clear and bright wort...
The Wine Angel was so excited he couldn't stop rubbing his hands: "Ladies, I think it's a rare opportunity, I should develop a sensational product!"
The two Enchanting Demons laughed: "Well, that's not up to us, you'll have to ask the President!"
Chun was deeply moved, they were so thoughtful, clearly, it's just up to them to nod, yet they pushed the decision-making to me!
The Wine Angel was stunned for a moment, then had to squat in front of Chun: "I want to develop—"
Chun instantly saw his eagerness and immediately went on the offensive: "You have to join our guild! Even if it's just for one and a half days, it's fine!"
The Wine Angel laughed heartily: "A small matter, no problem, no problem!"
—System prompt: Congratulations! You have invited the Wine Angel to join the guild, gaining the second guild member, and raising the guild's prestige.
Haha, quite easy to handle! Where there's one, there's two, and with three, you can snowball it...
Chun was pleased: "What's the sensational product?"
The Wine Angel's rough old face went reddish: "Just asking them to bathe in the wort, and then..."
And then!!?
Chun suspected he heard wrong, shocked to the point his hair stood on end!
Holy shit, this game is unbelievable! No wonder your wine can kill people, who can handle this!
I thought you, with your bushy eyebrows and big eyes and bold straightforwardness, were just hot-tempered, but you truly live up to being stronger than the second-to-last place, even more twisted and perverse!
Chun instantly thought of the century-old wine he drank... oh My God!
The Wine Angel urgently demanded, eyes ablaze: "Yes or no!?"
Chun had principles of conscience: "Can you sell this wine?"
The Wine Angel angrily retorted: "Nonsense! Reserved exclusively for the goblin lord! As long as the ad is shot on the spot, I'll bottle it and seal it with a unique serial number, genuine and authentic!"
How authentic is that?
Chun asked: "Then how much does a bottle sell for?"
The Wine Angel raised a finger!
Could it be the same price as the Frost Fire Dragon Wine Vivian gave?
Chun was shocked: "Ten thousand?"
The Wine Angel sneered: "That's just the starting bid for the auction!"
Chun found it hard to believe: "Do goblins have that kind of money?"
If they are so rich, should I seize the opportunity to ask for a cut? But in the world of Hell, daring to propose such without strength might require a lot of courage?
The Wine Angel became agitated: "The lord is different! Say one more thing, and I'll withdraw from your crappy guild!"
Holy shit, don't leave!
Chun sighed: "I can't say it, you say it—"
The Wine Angel scampered to the wine barrel: "Ladies..."
The two Enchanting Demons were indeed shocked: "President, this won't do—got to add money!!"
Chun was very helpless: "A thousand more each!"
The two Enchanting Demons weren't so easy to talk anymore: "That won't do, this is for an ad, and such a thing, it should at least be ten thousand more each!"
Holy shit! Chun finally understood why they pushed the decision-making to him, once he agreed, they could ask him for money. Such intelligence is formidable!
Chun's heart twinged, just dealing with the third-to-last place already cost him thirty thousand, he dared not imagine the fourth-to-last! Couldn't afford to play, anyway two batchers were already taken in, the next stop is to go to the Goblin City to find the first-to-last.
However, since thirty thousand is spent, it has to be worth it, might as well go all out!
Chun had a request: "I think our Dios Commerce Association sponsorship should be added!"
The Wine Angel was delighted: "No problem, no problem, the President himself can appear on screen too!"
I'm not crazy yet! Get on screen for what!
Ready to go, filming resumed... The Wine Angel in pure white attire looked like a snowman in style as he took out two exquisite wine bottles before the camera and displayed the serial numbers, drew two large bottles of wort from the barrels, looking especially noble and elegant...
One must say, despite the workshop being rotten, the bottle was certainly fine.
Finally, the ad ended, the Wine Angel obtained a stack of what looked like newspapers but with no substance, a Magic Mirror Image, the scene in the Mirror Image being the one just filmed. Meanwhile, as the filming crew retracted their powers, the workshop again became the old, shabby, filthy state.
—Dios Commerce Order prompt: You sponsored the filming of an ad, increasing the guild's prestige.
Well, alright, spending money to boost prestige, not a complete loss.
The Wine Angel was very excited: "I'll immediately deliver goods to Goblin City!"
Chun seized the chance to say: "I happen to be going to Goblin City too! Together?"
The Wine Angel, in good spirits: "Together, together!"
Chun asked again: "Should I hire a few mercenaries for protection?"
The Wine Angel sneered: "Aren't you still my President now? With me around, do you need mercenaries?"
Indeed! Feels like unless twisted, you're still a normal member.
Chun then said to the two Enchanting Demons: "Then I'm off to Goblin City, you ladies go have fun back home first."
The two Enchanting Demons were very happy: "Alright, boss, when you return, we'll keep taking you to find the others!"
Can't afford, can't afford.
In any case, after getting them off, with no third party present, finally can discuss Tapioca Burn with the Wine Angel, surely able to trigger something...
