Chapter 390: I work for you, and I still have to pay you?
“Thank you.”
Those two words, spoken from Apollo’s mouth, filled Mike with immense encouragement. He had to do something meaningful!
Composing himself, Mike walked towards the bar and said seriously to Nyx Valoria,
“Get me a hot dog.”
“No problem.”
With Nyx Valoria’s arrangements, the hot dog was soon ready.
Holding the hot dog, Mike strolled around the Wolf’s Den, observing the situation at each table.
He first went to Professor Gregory’s table. A group of white-haired old men, their combined age could be several thousand years old, all talents engaged in key research projects such as the Tower of Truth and the Abyss.
Professor Gregory alone was eight hundred years old!
The old men hadn’t touched much of the food on the table, just a few bites of mushrooms and fish, a taste test. Only Nameless was gorging himself, occasionally summoning his companions to feed them some food.
The old men gathered together, more to discuss their respective research projects.
Seeing Mike approaching, Gregory beckoned,
“Thor, you’re just in time, I have something to discuss with you.”
Professor Gregory took out a stack of research reports, pulled out a summary, “This is a study on the impact of the brief opening of the Supreme Abyssal. The situation is not good.”
Mike took the summary, glanced at it, his expression turning serious.
He didn’t understand the data and arguments on the summary.
But Mike understood the conclusion: “Based on the detection of aura fluctuations before and after the opening of the Supreme Abyssal, it is speculated that demon creatures have escaped from the Supreme Abyssal…”
Professor Gregory added, “What is certain is that the escaped demon creatures are no more than level 1000 in strength, the number is unknown.”
Looking at the first-hand information in his hand, Mike felt a little troubled.
Apollo was most likely aware of this matter.
Since Apollo didn’t say anything, there were only two possibilities.
The first possibility was that it wasn’t a big deal, no need to panic.
The second possibility was that it was a big deal, no need to panic, panicking wouldn’t help.
Mike immediately reacted, “So, when I go to the Ninth Abyss this time, I might encounter demon creatures that escaped from the Supreme Abyssal?”
“Yes.”
Professor Gregory nodded, not continuing on this topic, but reminded, “We don’t know much about the Supreme Abyssal. But one thing is certain, in the past three hundred years, the Supreme Demon God has never sent out any demon creatures…”
Mike nodded, indicating that he understood.
Although the Supreme Demon God was in a state of slumber and seal.
However, he was not a dead thing.
In the past two hundred years, two Supreme Beings had emerged from the human race. In the eyes of the Supreme Demon God, they might be small characters, not worth mentioning.

Until Apollo and Thor appeared one after another.
The two of them truly made the Supreme Demon God feel threatened.
In order to eliminate the threat and suppress the human race, the Supreme Demon God would naturally choose various strategies!
The demon creatures that escaped from the Supreme Abyssal, rather than saying they escaped, it was more like they were sent out by the Supreme Demon God, waiting for an opportunity to strike…
Mike kept this matter in mind, thinking too much wouldn’t help.
Take one step at a time.
After bidding farewell to Professor Gregory, Mike wandered over to the Guardian Shadows’ table.
Shadow One, Shadow Two, and Shadow Three surrounded Mike at the same time.
“Fourth Bro, we apologize for our previous offense!”
Shadow One said with a sincere face, “Although I am a woman, I am willing to help you kill a demon god to prove my loyalty!”
Mike thought for a moment and asked tentatively, “In that case, what about the Supreme Demon God…”
Shadow One’s expression stiffened, “Excuse me, I must be going, I’m running away with the Tower of Truth!”
Shadow Two said tearfully, “Fourth Bro, I was wrong, I will definitely learn to be a good person from you!”
Shadow Three mumbled, “Fourth Bro, I really need a name, otherwise, when I die, I won’t even know what to engrave on my tombstone…”
It was obvious that they were terrified by Apollo.
“Calm down.”
Mike comforted the four frightened Shadows, and he asked Maxen to bring over a few more boxes of wine.
The humans in the Guardian Shadows couldn’t eat or drink, but Shadow One, Two, and Three weren’t human.
“Have some wine, calm your nerves.”
After leaving the Guardian Shadows’ table, Mike slipped over to Foreskin’s table.
Unlike the other tables, Foreskin was sitting alone.
Within the human race, there weren’t many who could be classmates with Foreskin.
Foreskin stood up, “Fourth Bro.”
“No need to be so polite.”
Mike placed the half-eaten hot dog on the table, looked at Foreskin seriously, and said, “I went to the thirtieth floor today and used two materials for work, can I get reimbursed?”
Foreskin responded with a wry smile, “Fourth Bro, why don’t you just take the entire Mystic Market?”
Mike’s eyes lit up, “Really? You’re giving it to me?”
Mystic Market… Mike thought for a moment and dismissed this crazy idea.
Even if Foreskin dared to give it away, Mike wouldn’t dare to take it!
“Two materials…”
Foreskin pondered, “If you have no other expenses, just reimbursing these two materials is no problem.”
After discussing the reimbursement, Mike noticed a dejected goblin beside Foreskin.
The goblin was only 4 feet tall, with green skin and pointed ears, exactly like Foreskin’s previous virtual image in the Tower of Truth.
“This is?”
Facing Mike’s question, Foreskin nodded,
“The one I found for you.”
According to the previous agreement between Foreskin and Mike, he was responsible for finding Mike a goblin butler.
As for the price, it was up to Mike to negotiate.
Apollo had just been here, and the goblin was scared out of his wits.
It was the perfect time to discuss the price!
“What’s your name?”
The goblin came back to his senses and introduced himself,
“My name is Bilbo Baggins, you can call me Bilbo.”
Since he was hiring a financial manager, Mike was also very serious.
After all, this was someone who would be managing his money!
“Bilbo, tell me what you can do and your asking price.”
Unusually, Mike gave the initiative to negotiate to the other party.
He knew very well that when choosing someone to manage his money, trust was the most important thing.
Mike trusted the person Foreskin found.
Bilbo Baggins took out a prepared plan,
“Before I came, Manager Foreskin told me some basic information. I can help you double the output of your private space, and at the same time, I can ensure that the profit will increase by 200% on the existing basis…”
After briefly explaining what he could do, Bilbo Baggins quoted his price, “I am willing to serve you for free until the end of the contract.”
“I refuse.”
Mike took a sip of coke and swallowed the rest of the hot dog in one bite, “Free is the most expensive.”
A goblin willing to manage his finances for free, it meant that what Bilbo Baggins sought went beyond money itself!
Hearing these words, Bilbo fell silent.
He had to admit that Thor was right.
Bilbo Baggins thought that this was the end of the matter, there was no turning back.
Who knew that Thor would speak again,
“Tell me, how much will you pay me every month to work for me?”
Bilbo: ???
I work for you, and I still have to pay you?
