Just as Chun was about to ask what made the sister so formidable, the Shoe Angel promptly agreed, "No problem, invite me! But first, pay me a salary of ten thousand!"
Oh yeah!
That's fine... The essence of spending a fortune on a lame horse is to buy something useless, creating a sensational advertising effect. But since it used to be the Guardian God, it's not totally useless, and ten thousand should be enough respect...
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You've invited the Shoe Angel to join the Chamber of Commerce, and your Chamber has gained its first member, boosting its reputation.
——System Prompt: You've privately invested 10,000 Mining Coins into the Chamber, and paid the Shoe Angel's salary of 10,000 Mining Coins today.
Now that you've joined, let's talk business.
Chun said, "I want to close a million-level deal in a day and a half, what's your take?"
The Shoe Angel huffed coldly, "Ask the big commerce association about that, you shouldn't be asking me. If you're planning to steal, count me out, and I'll report you."
Even reporting! You really haven't forgotten you're an angel, huh...
Chun got anxious, "Of course I'm doing it legally. When the Chamber has important events, you must come, okay."
The Shoe Angel chuckled, "I don't plan to attend. You only said to invite me for a day and a half, you didn't say I must participate in events—If you think I'm not following the rules, you can kick me out now!"
Holy shit, you really are something...
At that moment, laughter erupted from the nearby stalls, with some mocking Chun and others envious of the Shoe Angel for scamming some money!
The two Enchanting Demons got anxious, "How can you talk to the chairman like that?"
The Shoe Angel smiled, "Ladies, let me take care of these shoes for you for maintenance."
Chun also had a response, "Ladies, why don't you give her your shoes for maintenance."
"No need, Chairman is already very busy."
Chun smiled, "Getting a glimpse of the Shoe Angel's craftsmanship is a reward in itself."
The Enchanting Demon no longer said anything, "Alright then."
Actually, for Chun, as long as the Shoe Angel joined the guild, regardless of whether tasks are completed, it means achieving half the goal.
His role is to act as a trickster, setting an example. Like in a restaurant or barbershop, if there's no one inside, new visitors won't dare enter, but if just one person is inside eating or getting a haircut, it makes a world of difference. Hence, there's the profession of a seat-filler.
The more eccentric and troublesome this Shoe Angel is, the better! When the time comes to find the third-to-last person, you can showcase it: "Look, if even someone as hard to please and not as good as you joined, so can you..."
Once you smooth-talk the third-to-last one into joining, the snowball effect begins, ultimately targeting one thing: capturing the last goblin city member. With others already in, she might cluelessly join in, and that's the flanking strategy.
She must be a direct line, not otherwise, why trigger two events on the island?
As for now having the Shoe Angel polish shoes is merely to buy time, allowing this joke of not working to spread widely, significantly amplifying the effect of spending a fortune on a lame horse.
Though it's a time-waster, Chun still carefully watched her polish shoes. Undeniably, the shoe-polishing special effects paired with her blissfully absorbed expression were unspeakably perverse...
Chun heavily suspected this Shoe Angel was cultivating some perverse godly skill, possibly even made by a Baka coder, who loves creating things like Panty-Man, Stocking Man...
Finally, after half an hour, the two pairs of shoes were maintained, and the Shoe Angel, still unsatisfied, embraced the previously polished boots to dive into a realm of selflessness...
Fine, you keep busy.
Chun beckoned the Enchanting Demons, "Find the next one!"
The group crossed several alleys. Sure enough, after half an hour of word spreading, there were snickering NPCs along the way pointing and whispering.
Great, that's the reputation starting to spread.
In theory, any snickering NPC could trigger an event, but Chun didn't have the time.
Then they left the small alley area, arriving at a misty, secluded workshop by the city wall moat. In front of the workshop was an advertisement poster, depicting a few abstract beauties stepping in barrels of wine!
"What's this?"
The two Enchanting Demons sniffed, "This is for making low-quality wine for Minotaur goblins, he could easily open a factory in goblin city, the land rent is way cheaper there, but he insists on pretending it's city-quality goods here to sell at a higher price."
"This is also a fake ad. It fools Minotaur goblins, claiming the wine is stomped by beautiful women; where would he get the money for that, he can't even afford a proper artist, look how bad the artwork is…"
Chun checked the map and found that this place was indeed separated from the goblin city outside by a wall and a river.
As they approached the workshop and peeked through the window, a tall, rugged black-winged birdman was standing with bare, hairy thick legs stomping in two barrels, drenched in sweat!
Holy shit!
Chun was instantly disgusted by the poster's deception, sweating like that and posing as a woman's exclusive stomp, selling an authentic experience!
Chun was shocked and asked, "Who is he?"
The two Enchanting Demons laughed, "He's called the Wine Angel by others, he was indeed a Guardian God of a small town, but the wine sold by the commerce association poisoned many citizens and soldiers in another town, sparking a lord's war, and his town surrendered and compensated, so he came down."
Chun suddenly had an inspiration, "What kind of wine can poison people?"
"All we know is, he used the cheapest materials."
Chun's brow twitched, was it Tapioca Burn? Only cassava is the cheapest!
The angel inside became alert and shouted angrily, "Who is making noise outside? We don't sell here, get lost!"
Chun's vision exploded with a red warning—Warning! You've angered the Wine Angel, be sure to leave!
Holy shit! This one is irascible, ready to attack anytime?
Chun immediately backed off from his guarded range but already had a plan in mind, that is, Tapioca Burn!
Chun quickly switched to his main account, idling in a pond, took out a bottle of Tapioca Burn and closely checked the small print under the trademark. It's a bit faded after over a hundred years, but luckily, he brought a few bottles, and finally pieced together "Olga Commerce Association's global bestseller, Golden Continent's pioneering exclusive..."!
These details were like archaeology, maybe he could talk business with him.
But when it comes to Plague Island, he couldn't let the loudspeaker-like Enchanting Demons around him spread it, he had to send them away to talk.
Chun had an idea, "Ladies, I'll give you another 1000, how about helping him do a real ad?"
The two Enchanting Demons were surprised, "Boss, you want us to step into the barrels?"
Chun was hopeful, "Can't you?"
The two Enchanting Demons laughed, "We don't mind, it depends if he agrees."
Chun then stood outside the alert boundary and shouted, "I am a new chamber of commerce—"
From inside came an angry shout, "Scram!"
Holy shit, quite stern!
The Enchanting Demon called daintily, "Wine Angel, we're here to advertise for you. This is Dios Commerce Association Chairman Vonima offering the payment!"
Inside was quiet for a while.
Not immediately being cursed meant it worked. No question, ladies asking questions does open doors, no wonder there are so many female journalists.
Then the store door opened, "So it's that fool, I'm curious to see!"
Indeed, recognized me as a fool, that's the advantage of spending a fortune on a lame horse!
