Chapter 40: Money-grubber?



Upon hearing that the trees were to be chopped down, the huge body of the forest guardian instantly dissipated between heaven and earth and turned into pure energy that entered Staci's body.

Stacy felt apologetic in her heart, but the Forest Guardian was not angry with her. It also knew Stacy's current situation and just hummed softly.

The Windtalker hovered around Stacy, very excited to be able to come out for some fresh air.

"Dongdong is the guardian of the forest and has a natural resistance to logging." Stacy touched the Windtalker affectionately and continued.

"But don't worry, Fufu is willing to help."

"Okay, we'll give you one gold coin for every piece of hardwood you cut. The more you cut, the more we'll give you. Of course, you still have to process the chopped hardwood and turn it into usable building materials." Merlin didn't mind hiring the elf girl in front of him, and the contracted goblins she summoned looked very powerful.

Fairies are a special race in the continent of Aize. They are an aggregation of elements, and each of them is a darling of heaven and earth. However, only those with special talents can discover them, or it can be said that the fairies actively choose to appear next to these people.

Each fairy is very precious and more valuable than Warcraft. Warcraft can force a contract, but a fairy cannot be contracted if it is not recognized.

For example, Merlin does not have the talent to sense fairies and cannot become a fairy master.

"One gold coin for one piece of hardwood?" Stacy's eyes lit up instantly. With such a high salary, she really came to the right place.

"Yes, but it must be processed properly. Scrape off the bark. As for the extent of processing, Garant will tell you."

Merlin grabbed Garant's shoulders and pushed him in front of Stacy.

Staci blinked her lively eyes and looked at Galant. Galant saw that the goddess in his heart was a little shy, her face slightly blushed, and she spoke haltingly.

"Oh, um, oh, well, well, I have some hardwood that has been processed. Well, well, you can watch me process it. Of course, if you don't know how to do it, you can hand it over to students who can. You just have to pay a processing fee, but it's not expensive, just two silver coins."

Garant was like a shy boy who had just fallen in love and didn't dare to look Staci in the eye.

Stacie quickly waved her hands, raised her arms, and made a powerful gesture, saying, "Don't worry, I'm also quite good at carpentry."

Are you kidding? That's two silver coins. She must earn this money herself and cannot give it to others.

Stacy couldn't wait to start working. She blew a whistle, and the Windtalker Fu Fu soared into the sky, came to the back mountain, aimed at a hardwood, and flapped its wings.

Stacie waved her hand and whispered, "Wind Blade!"

Fu Fu instantly gathered its wings, and huge wind elements gathered on its emerald green feathers, flashing green light.

Then Fu Fu's wings suddenly spread out, and two wind blades composed of wind elements were instantly released, and the hardwood trunk in front of her was directly cut open by the wind blades.

Boom——

The hardwood fell down, and Stacy pointed with her slender little hand. Tiny wind blades circled around her, then quickly rushed to the fallen hardwood, cutting through the messy branches and bark wrapped around the hardwood.

After about five or six minutes, a piece of processed hardwood was placed in front of Merlin.

After working for a while, Stacy wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "Huh, I didn't expect it would take so much time."

Is this a waste of time?

Merlin was dumbfounded. It would take others more than ten minutes to chop a piece of hardwood. Taking into account the processing time, half an hour might not be enough. You could only chop a tree in five or six minutes, which could definitely be considered efficient.

"Hmm... awesome." Merlin gave Stacy a thumbs up.

Staci chuckled and continued to order Fu Fu to see the hardwood.

The afternoon passed quickly. Stacey, who had lost her magic, sat down on the treated hardwood, feeling a little tired. Gene waved at her and said, "Stacey, it's time to get your salary!"

When she heard that there was money to be made, Stacy immediately perked up and jumped down from the pile of hardwood, "Here I come, here I come!"

Merlin looked at the freshmen who were digging the foundation. There were also a few sophomores who were using earth magic to loosen the soil so that it could be dug out more easily.

Merlin thought it was a shame that these earth magicians didn't go into civil engineering.

"Stacy, you processed a total of twenty-three pieces of hardwood today. Your speed is faster than some of the second and third year seniors. Here is your wages, twenty-three gold coins." Gene felt a little emotional. This girl was really amazing. She earned so many gold coins in just one afternoon. It made him want to go chop down trees.

Stacie took the twenty-three glittering gold coins, her eyes sparkling with greed, and quickly put them into her purse, which she had sewn herself.

"Thank you, Gene-senpai."

"You're welcome. It's not me you should thank, it's Boss Merlin."

"Thank you, Boss Merlin!"

Merlin waved his hand and said, "You deserve this. You worked hard to earn so much money. You look like you are running out of magic power. Go back and have a good rest. We will need you tomorrow."

Staci nodded seriously. "Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'll go back and have a rest now. I'll come to work for you tomorrow."

She is such an excellent worker. I am also short of people around me. Should I hire her for a long-term job? I feel like this girl is very easy to cheat.

"Okay, I'll count on you tomorrow." Merlin replied with a smile. He had spent most of the gold coins he earned that afternoon, but he also knew that there is no gain without pain.

Stacy stayed in the open space for a while before leaving. Merlin glanced at the time and decided to go back to the dormitory to rest as it was getting late.

"Gene, tomorrow we'll be at the same place. You can bring your cart and you don't have to wait for me to finish class. You can just sell it directly. The price will be the same as yesterday."

Merlin explained some things and left. He planned to visit his teacher Harrington, hoping that he could introduce him to some reliable alchemy seniors. He planned to build a few more alchemy kilns.

The next day, as soon as the alchemy class was over, Professor Harrington left the classroom as if he had something urgent to do. Then the alchemy students rushed out, opened the door and started running without any image.

Merlin was just about to pack up when he saw Chris and Fate hurriedly taking the alchemy notes from his desk, putting them in order for him and running out.

"Hey, what are you guys in such a hurry for?"

"Of course I'm going to grab the lotus leaf beggar's chicken and the hot and sour passion fruit lemon chicken feet! And the chicken head!"

Chris dragged Merlin out and Merlin said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'll leave it for you!"
