I wonder how the experts on the first floor would handle such a "continuation of a romance" scene?

But Chun's scalp went numb, thinking of the nature of this game. If it was really about charity and helping the poor, they wouldn't have started by screwing up the China District's machines. So, small money can be earned, but big money would definitely be restricted.

Therefore, if he agreed with them, it could very well be a scam. But if he didn't agree... is it possible that he would be made unable to survive in the city?

Is there a third option?

Chun decided to boldly test the waters: "I'm very dissatisfied! There's no profit at all. When the great Dios was alive, he wouldn't even look at this kind of income. I could obviously go to deeper mining areas to dig higher-grade ores, but the mercenary rules are restricting me!"

The female soldiers were stunned, looking at each other in disbelief.

The Enchanting Demon still smiled and spoke: "Boss, those are the rules. Although it's regrettable, you only need to accompany us to the Dream Eden tavern to have a drink, and dance with the most beautiful girl to surely relieve the boss's worries..."

In the end, it's still restricted by the rules! This won't do, I must break the rules and find a loophole! Even Sherry, a Flower Girl, knows how to bypass the flower shop rules and pocket the business funds. Aren't you five Advanced S-level girls more clever than Sherry?

Chun instantly found a loophole: "How many days is your vacation?"

The Fallen Angel laughed: "Depends, usually a few days."

Chun asked again: "During your vacation, are you restricted by industry rules?"

The Enchanting Demon laughed in surprise: "We're on vacation, not working, of course, we're not restricted! This is the free and delightful Lost Paradise!"

I see! This inexplicably reminded Chun of an old foreign joke: the pilot and captain jump out with parachutes at the end of their shift, leaving behind a group of bewildered passengers...

Chun pushed further step by step: "You've seen my relationship with the Earth Flame Giant. As long as there are no rule restrictions, I can go deeper to mine—so I have a plan. I will use this first sum of money to hire more mining carts to continue mining, but no longer hire mercenaries. You will escort me to the Earth Flame Mining Area under the pretense of being on vacation, just stay at the outskirts, then escort me back. After I return, we split my income six ways!"

That's essentially taking freelance work, can they understand?

The female soldiers were indeed stunned!

The Enchanting Demon snorted: "Having fun on vacation is the most important thing, who is interested in continuing work?"

This is a slacking employee, need to pua her!

Chun resolutely scolded: "Miss Aimee's words and actions greatly disappoint me! The great master Dios taught me that being part of the Demon Race demands an insatiable will of greed..."

The Enchanting Demon's expression changed: "How dare you use this crap—"

The Fallen Angel quickly stopped her: "Boss, this six-way split has a problem. If you carefully calculate, your income might actually be less than what you're currently earning."

Am I after the income? No, I'm after exploiting your loopholes! The key is that splitting it six ways indeed reduces my income, aligning with the system's basic logic of curbing high-income players, it could work.

Chun pretended to be clueless: "Is that so? Then you tell me how we should split it."

The Enchanting Demon got irritated: "I haven't even said I want to go!"

Chun got irritated too: "Alright, let's vote by raising hands, those agreeing to go to the Earth Flame Mining Area for vacation, raise your hands!"

Finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand!

The Vampire Girl and the Dark Elf exchanged glances, clearly, the backdoor was opening. Good!

Medusa smiled slyly: "I think, this thing is something I've never encountered before, quite interesting, why not give it a try?"

Success! What private work doesn't get done earnestly by the workers?

Chun was ecstatic: "Right, right, Miss Medesia is right!"

The Fallen Angel asked the Enchanting Demon with a smile: "What do you say?"

The Enchanting Demon snorted: "Put it in writing, split the accounts six ways, and in addition, we're going to the Earth Flame Zone for vacation, so we need an upfront sum to buy vacation supplies."

So many demands? Can't let her have her way, now I have four supporting me!

Chun argued reasonably: "The more we save, the more mining carts we can hire, when we return everyone can earn more money! Don't you all agree?"

The Enchanting Demon snorted: "Truly inexperienced! Come, let me take you somewhere!"

Huh? What did this trigger now?

So a group of them went to a repair shop filled with discarded mining carts and mechanical parts, with mechanical workers welding noisily.

Chun was actually gaining knowledge. If not for these robots, he would have thought this was a major repair site in Bronze Vanguard City.

A group of green-skinned goblins in engineering uniforms came forward to greet: "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen—"

No, these are goblins!

In this world's monster system, goblins and goblins look alike, but goblins have extremely high Wisdom, while goblins are mere Barbarian Race fodder, and goblins can easily mutate to occasionally spawn a far larger and less intelligent big goblin. Goblins never acknowledge being the same race as goblins, one could say they discriminate against goblins more than any other race.

The Enchanting Demon pointed at the obviously worn-out second-hand mining carts: "How many of these can still run? We'll rent them! We'll take them all!"

So there's this wild way too!

The goblin foreman chuckled: "Currently, there are 13 that can run."

The Enchanting Demon impatiently said: "As long as they work. Name a price!"

The goblin foreman chuckled: "13 carts, 13,000!"

The Enchanting Demon smiled and asked Chun: "How about it? Compared to the guild, it's a third of the price, right? And it even breaks the guild's restriction of only renting 10 carts."

Chun was shocked: Is this making me a train driver? It takes me a whole night and half a morning to fill 3 carts, these 13 carts wouldn't take two or three days? The key is these mining carts are dilapidated...

——System Alert: Warning! Your Advanced Mechanician Level 10 has detected mechanical faults.

Hmm!

The passive skill was triggered! It really feels just like the legitimate Mechanician Profession.

Chun followed the skill's marked prompts and touched the chassis of a nearby cart: "This hasn't been repaired at all!"

Then he looked at another cart beside it, triggering the passive alert again: "This one hasn't been repaired either!"

The goblin foreman became awkward: "Just make do, the price can be lowered, how about 12,000."

Can this be made do with?

With the five ladies backing him, Chun wasn't letting it slide: "Not enough, still needs to be cheaper!"

The goblin was helplessly embarrassed, but a subtle pink mist drifted by, and the goblin's face changed to a peculiar expression: "Actually, it can be much cheaper, as long as the beautiful lady accompanies us—"

Chun felt his scalp tingle!

The Enchanting Demon, surprisingly not angry, giggled flirtatiously: "Really?"

The goblin drooled: "Of course, really!"

Holy shit!

A surge of inexplicable anger erupted in Chun like a volcanic explosion straight to his head: "No need to halve it, just 12,000! But you have to rent me a set of repair tools and spare parts!"

The Enchanting Demon laughed heartily!

What are you laughing at? This mist is your doing, huh?

Honestly, although he knows the Enchanting Demon's role in this open area, as a man, this damned sense of possession still unrealistically sees her as his woman, can't stand to see her fool around. It's just a game, is it somewhat... hard to explain...
