Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

Chapter 53: Chapter 51: Payroll

As Sunu narrated, the thought process in Baiyi’s eyes gradually became clear, maybe the auction could bring him many things.

But it seemed more appropriate for Sunu to become the spokesperson for the Alchemy Magic Net.

Behind Sunu was the Koman Clan, a Legislator Clan with very powerful influence and sufficient strength to operate the network.

Most importantly, Sunu, this Dwarf, was not as cunning as the Human Race.

At least in some celebrity assessments, this individual was given the evaluation of being a pure Alchemy Technology Grandmaster, having a keen pursuit of technology.

Baiyi nodded frequently, as if he greatly acknowledged Sunu’s thought process, which undoubtedly heightened Sunu’s enthusiasm for speaking.

When Aileen brought in two two-liter bottles of alcohol, the Dwarf’s natural fondness for alcohol was stimulated, making the atmosphere in the reception room even more lively.

Starting with Baiyi pointing out the flaws in Sunu’s ideas with the mindset of an Alchemy Sage.

The look in Sunu’s eyes toward Baiyi changed, it was a feeling of surprise, gratitude, and the notion of being willing to die for a confidant, finding a bosom friend across the world.

No jealousy, pure academic and technical discussions were the easiest things to move this Dwarf.

If paired with alcohol... the Dwarf’s enthusiasm would be overwhelming.

After throwing the badge for shop inventory purchase to Aileen, signaling her to continue buying alcohol.

Baiyi, fueled by the alcohol and the passionate atmosphere, quickly closed the gap with this Alchemy Technology Grandmaster.

As night fell, Baiyi, with a slight shake of his head, walked out of the reception room.

His complexion was even paler than it had been in the morning, with a somewhat sickly feel.

He glanced back at the reception room, where Sunu was already slumped over the table snoring, and a smile appeared in Baiyi’s eyes.

The future path to success, although it would help Sunu solve those unsolved problems, Sunu, by nature, wouldn’t do so, and he didn’t have time to do so either.

He would only feel Baiyi’s profound research on Technology in these few hours of conversation and also sense Baiyi’s sincerity, because apart from the most critical step, Baiyi explained every other aspect of the Alchemy Magic Net thoroughly.

Relaxing with a sigh of relief, he closed the reception room door.

Looking at the empty Potion Shop, he swayed his way to the laboratory.

”Boss, are you alright?” Luoning asked with some concern.

She had changed out of her maid outfit into a normal black dress, though it was a bit large, likely Aileen’s dress.

[You have drunk Fire Dragon Wine, Experience Value +10...]

A notification flashed across the panel, which Baiyi didn’t pay much attention to. A thousand gold coins for wine couldn’t possibly be just wine, the magic power in it was enough to intoxicate a Transcendent.

However, Baiyi’s alcohol tolerance had always been quite good, of course, it might also be that the alcohol content was converted into Experience Value, after all, converted to RMB, it was ten thousand yuan a bottle, which he had never experienced.

”It’s alright, it’s the end of the month, time to pay salaries, you all come over.”

As soon as Baiyi finished speaking, Aileen immediately and officially stood in front as if having anticipated it, quite different from her usual demeanor.

Baiyi was at a loss for words for a moment, extending his hand, and amid Luoning’s puzzled gaze, Aileen took out two small bags with a smile and said, ”This one’s Luoning’s, I’ve prepared it, Boss.”

”Hmm, you’re quite proactive.” Baiyi said as the clink of gold coins sounded, the panel quickly depleted 200 gold coins, stuffing the two small bags full.

”Not being proactive in collecting money shows a problem with thought. Ah, now I can buy beautiful clothes again.” Aileen said joyfully, placing Luoning’s wages in her arms.

Luoning, struggling a bit to hold the bag, seemed bewildered, as if she never expected to receive a full month’s salary for doing so little.

Aileen seemed to realize this as well, her happy expression paused and quickly retracted, gazing at Baiyi with a grudge: ”Boss, hasn’t Little Luoning only been here half a month? Why is her salary the same as mine? Shouldn’t it be fifty gold coins?”

Baiyi paused, spreading his hands innocently: ”Bonus, didn’t she tell you she’s a Divination Master?”

Aileen’s gaze shifted, staring at Luoning with a grudge: ”I thought we were friends, but unexpectedly, you never tell me anything....”

Luoning was even more at a loss, nervously saying, ”Um... I didn’t know either, I just dream....”

Just as she said this, it was as if something hit her, her eyes suddenly turned hollow, and the heavy gold coins in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, shaking her whole body.

Aileen suddenly panicked, hurriedly stepping forward but not knowing how to comfort her.

She could only frantically explain: ”What’s wrong? I was joking, I like you very much, the Boss is also nice, really, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare joke with a strong person, right? Don’t cry....”

”Don’t touch her.” Baiyi said solemnly, as terrifying Spiritual Power surged out instantly, enveloping the entire lobby.

His previously slightly intoxicated gaze suddenly sharpened, a streak of Scarlet flashed through his eyes, making his aura extraordinarily eerie for a moment.

The door on the left of the counter slowly opened, where Or, free of weakness, stood silently in the shadows.

Time slowly passed, calm and still calm, with nothing bad happening.

Aileen inexplicably felt some panic, nervously whispering: ”What...what happened?”

At this time, Luoning finally came back to her senses.

She somewhat frantically rushed to Baiyi’s side, grasping his clothes tightly with small hands, saying in a trembling voice: ”There’s...there’s a woman with an indistinguishable face looking for me, she...she had a red flower behind her.”

Baiyi’s eyes showed a trace of seriousness, flowers, it’s a sensitive word.

After glancing at Aileen, he calmly reassured: ”It has nothing to do with you, go and rest first, Luoning and I will talk.”

Aileen felt a little uneasy but was still obedient. She would argue with Baiyi when everything was fine since he was usually frugal but kind-hearted; however, during important matters, she stepped back.

Aileen walked towards the rest room with hesitance, gathering courage to softly say: ”If anything happens, you have to tell me, Boss.”

Baiyi waved his hand, waiting until Aileen disappeared before looking around, sending a Soul Essence into the portal on the left of the counter with his Spiritual Power and closing the metallic door, which sufficed as paying Or his salary.

With those arrangements done, and under Luoning’s anxious gaze, Baiyi retrieved an invitation from the inner lining of his coat, pointing at the black rose insignia on it and asking: ”Is this the symbol of the woman behind you?” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Luoning’s pupils contracted as she nodded: ”Yes... yes, it looks like this. She gives me a very dangerous feeling, she’s trying to get close to me....”

Baiyi quickly stowed away the invitation, feeling a slight drop in his mood, it wasn’t surprising that Luoning could see the Black Night Rose, though he hadn’t expected them to surface despite the commotion at the auction.

Something crossed Baiyi’s mind, so he suddenly asked: ”Repeat everything you just saw.”
