The rain finally stopped.
Melina discovered the advantage of being an idol. She didn't have to run here and there for orders in this rainy day.
"But the rain stopped."
"Well, the work that has been put on hold must continue to be completed."
"Take another break?"
"Immediately, immediately." Beren looked over with a disgusted expression.
What an unkind woman.
Speaking of which, what exactly exists in outer space?
What is the meaning of this world?
…Really. But at this time, I think so much, am I not the kind of woman who uses imagination to get through boring time, am I? ...Melina nodded vigorously and calmly:
"Sonia?"
"She has something to take off."
"Then I also..."
"Application rejected."
Melina folded her arms, her expression beginning to look disgusted with this combination of hers.
"What's the job?"
"Let me see." Beren took out a list. If she read it correctly, it was... a list of commissions from the Explorers Guild?
“…”
"In the Whitechapel area of Innsmouth town, there is a house with a ghost, and the ghost needs to be removed... 20 gold lei."
“…”
Rather than asking something as trivial as "Why are our idols' daily tasks also delegated" at this time, what should be more entangled at this time is:
"Why did the client know there was a ghost in his house?"
"Description: 'When I entered the house, a few words suddenly appeared in my sight, I am super, there is a ghost!, that's it...', the client said there was a ghost, so we will treat it as if there is a ghost."
“…”
There seem to be all kinds of strange accidents happening in this world.
Melina fell into a long silence.
Coming back to his senses:
"Then why do we do this kind of commission? The daily life of idols seems to be singing and dancing..."
"Does anyone watch you when you go out to dance now? You're not considered an acquaintance."
It depends on what kind of dance it is... Melina is not sure:
"Probably, a dozen passers-by will stop..."
“How many passers-by would give up their jobs to watch you dance?”
"Probably, less than ten."
"How many passers-by not only stopped working to watch you dance and sing, but also gave you gold leu?"
“…”
No.
Although Melina is confident that her appearance can breed a large number of Boiling Goats, in this world, Boiling Goats are not that easy to find. At the same time, without a foundation of popularity, not many people will see them no matter how beautiful they are.
Looking at her with an ugly expression, Beren said meaningfully:
"Look, that's why our main business is stage performances and singing shows, but we still have to take on a lot of commissions."
After packing up the tools and heading to Innsmouth, Belen was explaining at the same time.
Idol commissions are commissions undertaken by the head office of the agency. These commissions will be contracted to idol groups at [preferential prices]. For example, for a commission of 10 gold lei, it only costs 8 gold lei to find an idol group.
What the firm gets is 6 leu, and 2 leu is taken as a commission from the head office. How much the idol gets depends on the conscience of the firm.
Through this high-quality and low-cost entrustment method, publicity and reputation accumulation can be carried out.
Popularity started to grow.
At first, some people will try to entrust local idol groups to cheer for local sports teams, hunting teams, etc., or to serve as midfield cheerleaders. At the same time, there are also product endorsements, endorsements by local vendors, and some programs provided by sponsors.
When the popularity rises to a certain level, the idol group will be invited to the real stage.
At that time, singing and dancing finally became the main profession. At the same time, the tacit understanding gained through years of training also gave the idol group the ability to hunt as a group with high coordination.
In other words, the combat effectiveness is still not lost.
Therefore, the top idols in this world can basically be regarded as top explorers.
…
…
After arriving in the town of Innsmouth, Belen first went to a pawn shop run by Clockwork Cat.
There was a signaling station that the Clockwork Cats bought from Melina. After using the signaling station to send out several telegrams in succession, Belen took a leisurely walk in the pawn shop to pass the time, waiting for a call back.
"Don't you go immediately?"
"Wipe the barrel of your gun clean before hunting."
"What telegram are you waiting for?"
"The 'Scavenger' sent by the head office confirms that the task is correct. Sometimes some clients cannot identify the type of the task at home. There are false alarms or misreports. For example, the commission corresponding to level 3 dragon hunting is Water ghosts, but the early and mid-term characteristics of water ghosts are exactly the same as those of the wraith ghosts corresponding to the level 7 dragon hunting commission. If you treat them wrongly, problems will arise."
"Is there going to be a problem?"
"It will come out...come here."
Melina walked over.
Belen grabbed her hand, took out a business card and placed it in her palm.
"This is?"
"Just add the area code in front of the scavenger's main telegraph number. If you bought the location of your signal station, you can also directly take a photo of the other party's password number."
At this time, this woman is too reliable.
If you want to please people, this routine was not popular a hundred years ago... Melina put away the business card and raised the corners of her mouth a little.
Clockwork Cat's pawn shop also sells some common but uncommon things.
This is also their profit point.
Therefore, some people also call clockwork cats a race that checks for leaks and fills in gaps.
"Consecrated 13% salt water."
"Iodized salt."
"The old vine branches that were broken off in the morning."
… After discovering a very handsome branch, just like a tachi, Melina couldn't help but grab it and hold the 'hilt' with both hands, carrying it on her shoulder.
"Hmph, do you also want to die by my knife?"
“…”
Eye to eye with Belen.
"Meow, meow, meow." The wind-up cat's uncontrollable meowing laughter came from the side.
Purchasing continues.
"Sun Concentrate Ore."
"Extracts of the essence of knell flowers, rose flowers and white willow flowers."
"icon…"
...There are only all kinds of messy icons, including a big octopus sitting on the toilet, a big man sitting on the toilet, and a beautiful girl sitting on the toilet... No, what's wrong with this store? Do you like toilets so much?
Belen frowned and looked at the 'Toilet Icon' on the shelf.
"Service Cat, come here."
"Meow!"
As the clockwork cat glided over, Melina asked in a low voice:
"This is very important?"
"The Statue of the Glorious Goddess of Atlantic Country has the power to exorcise demons, and it comes in handy in six or seven kinds of exorcism scenarios... Ah, service cat, is there an icon here?"
"Meow, how about the abyss?"
"...Does it have a spirit-removing effect?"
"Meow aw aw, of course there is! Abyss is the upper level of the ghost world, so what about Aguang? Does Aguang's god realm control the ghost world? It's just giving her face! As the saying goes, if you don't fear officials, you'll be afraid of management. , The Abyss Realm is in charge!”
"one comes."
This guy is really 'religious'.
What type of Superman is there?
He is a Constantine-type demon hunter who can have Satan tattooed on the left half of his butt and God tattooed on the right half of his butt. His main focus is to support loans with loans and exchange debts for debts... Hehe... Melina snickered a little when she thought of something happy. .
…
…
After receiving the correct telegram, they quickly rushed to the client's home in Whitechapel District.
As soon as I entered the area, I saw a line of words on my retina as expected.
"I'm super! There's a ghost!"
To be honest, if this is not a problem with ghosts, it must be a prank by the banshee... Melina turned her head and looked at Beren, and then she knocked on the door.
Boom boom.
No sound?
Boom boom.
Well, it feels like a dead silence.
Boom - "Ouch, stop knocking!" A rough shout came from the garden.
Melina and Beren straightened their backs like frightened cats at the same time, showing their attack forms. If an explorer who is good at fighting sees them in this posture, he will definitely say "misunderstanding" with cold sweat on his face. The surging aggressiveness, like a suffocating magic factor, has absolute deterrence. But the person making the sound felt nothing.
"Why are you knocking so loudly?"
A dwarf.
Dress well.
He has the beard that dwarves usually have. Legend has it that some dwarves have their genitals on their beards. Compared with ordinary dwarves, he has handsome and profound facial features and is full of masculinity. Just like Kili in the Dwarf Expedition in The Hobbit, Aidan Turner in "I Want to Be Human", he is so handsome that it makes people drool.
He has a very loud voice and a heroic temperament. Apart from the fact that he was scared by ghosts and had to sleep in a cardboard box at the door of his garden, he is a heroic dwarf.
"We are Belen and Melina, trainees from Office No. 383, who have accepted your commission."
"Oooh."
The dwarf brother touched his beard and said, "I seem to have seen you on the show..."
"Because I'm half-job hopping, I have to start as a trainee again." Belen smiled formulaically.
"Ah, I understand, I understand. When I moved from another furnace area to a new company, I had to start as an apprentice..."
"My guest, are you a master blacksmith?"
"Hahaha, not yet, not yet, still a little short of being a master..."
"I'll see it soon."
Beren dealt with the dwarf craftsmen in a formulaic manner, while Melina widened her eyes and pricked up her ears to learn from this experience.
"Little sister Beren." The dwarf brother had already begun to smoke his pipe. He was a little uneasy. "Can you deal with this ghost? It's so fierce. It even threw things in my kitchen."
"Although our office No. 383 has just been established, its strength is first-rate in this area. My partner, little Melina, has very strong strength."
"Well, you are so powerful."
Carrying a lot of professional props, Melina looked stern and had a look of disgust on her face.
Like a shark hand.
It does look powerful.
…
…
After entering the room, Melina put down the professional props one by one.
Beren tiptoed and glanced at the door. He saw the dwarf brother hiding in the cardboard box again with a cowardly look on his face. He shook his head:
"Meimei, you don't communicate with others."
"I'm communicating."
"I really regret not recording the scene just now."
"I will also say that I am communicating even if it is recorded."
Belen crossed his arms:
"That's not okay. As an idol, you must have a thousand-faced posture and be able to have a good relationship with everyone."
“…”
"Don't put on such a disgusted face, just think about it, this dwarf man will come to see our stage performance in the future, and he will spend 1 gold to enter the venue just to cheer us on."
"Professors who treat everyone else as money bags are really scum."
"You guy..."
Beren's eyes widened.
Melina turned around, put on a snicker, and thought to herself:
Today, Xiaomei, 1, beats, 0, Belen.
