Chapter 459: Just a Trick to Lucy
Once you start working seriously, the efficiency is quite high.

The pile of information handed over by the president only looked scary, but there wasn’t actually that much work involved.

They were nothing more than some task records that had not been sorted out in time. Some were even just commissions, and because the president was lazy he just glanced at them and let them take them away. They were not registered until the tasks were completed and brought back.

Some of the more important ones involve money. There are food and beverages that were purchased but not recorded in the accounts, and there are also some receipts for remuneration or compensation paid by the guild that are not recorded in the account books.

After that, there was a commission that was delivered this morning, but I haven’t had time to record and post it.

Rhodes is now familiar with handling these matters and is adept at it.

By noon, most of the problems had been solved.

The guild was relatively quiet during this period, because there was too much fun last night and many people went home to rest, especially the most active ones, whose injuries had not yet fully healed.

Rhodes and Mira put down their pens at the same time, stretched together, and then looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

What a magical coincidence.

Flutter, flutter, flutter…

A white dove flew in through the open door, holding a small package in its talons.

The package was a little bigger than a pigeon, but it didn’t seem to be difficult at all.

The pigeon flew towards the counter, circling over the heads of Rhodes and Mira, and said, “An email from President Makarov! An email from President Makarov!”

It looks like a magical bird like Xiaobi.

Makarov poked his head out from the second floor and waved: “Here.”

The pigeon flew up to the second floor and dropped the package into Makarov’s hands.

Mira had already taken out a handful of melon seeds and crushed peanuts that she usually used to feed Xiaobi.

After briefly entertaining the carrier pigeon, Makarov had already unpacked the package, wrote a note and asked it to take it away.

Rhodes curiously asked who sent it.

Makarov said, “It’s from the local guild alliance.”

“Huh? Did they change the pigeon?” Rhodes remembered that the one that came before was always black and gray.

“No, not the alliance we belong to. It’s the one in western Fiore, the one that the Serpent Scale belongs to.” Makarov explained.

“The last campaign to subjugate the six demon generals was initiated by multiple alliances within the Kingdom of Fiore, and the rewards were also paid by all the guilds that did not participate in the war. However, because the commander of the coalition forces was Jura, the rewards were left with them.”

Makarov walked down the stairs normally for the first time and placed a dozen thick banknotes and a piece of letter paper on the counter. “There are also some for you two and Wendy Xia Lulu. I’ll leave the distribution to you.”

Rhode looked at the thickness of the banknotes. If they were all 1 yuan notes, there would be several million. He complained, “They didn’t send so much money through the bank, but directly sent pigeons to deliver it. Aren’t they too careless?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just deliver it safely?” Makarov put his things down, put his hands behind his back and left the guild. He was tired of writing self-reviews, so he had to go out and relax.

Mira was responsible for reading the letters, and Rod was responsible for counting the money.

After counting for a while and confirming that there were 540 bills, he gave them to Mira to count again and let Rhodes read the letter.

“After compensating for part of the losses of Blue Pegasus, everyone will share the reward equally, including Habib and Xia Lulu, 60 J each?”

Rhodes silently counted the number of people. There were 12 in the coalition, plus the four of them who were involved, the total amount was 960 million J.

It seems that the magic explosion boat of the blue Pegasus can still be repaired, and only part of the repair cost is compensated, so the original amount is actually more than 1000 million.

This is definitely a big deal. If we classify the rewards, this is not just an S-level task, but an SS-level task.

The letter said that the four non-staff members were not originally taken into consideration, and Mr. Jola’s salary was also one level higher than others.

But Jura insisted that Rhode’s support was important, and Wendy’s healing magic was also important, so they must be taken into account.

So it became an equal distribution.

“Mr. Jola is such a good man.” Rhodes sighed and said he would visit him when he has time.

“Yes, in this way, we don’t have to wait for Eligore’s bounty.”

As Mira spoke, she carefully divided the banknotes into 9 portions, 60 bills in each portion, so that she could distribute them directly to everyone when they arrived.

Then she put two of them into her bag, took out the receipt, signed it herself, and then gave it to Rhodes to sign.

“The president is helping to embezzle his companions’ rewards!”

Rhodes pretended to shout in a low voice, which earned a roll of the eyes from Laqi.

In fact, a few months ago, it was almost impossible to tell whose money was whose, because after receiving their salary or bonus, they would deposit it into the bank immediately.

Sometimes we go together, sometimes whoever is free goes, sometimes we deposit money into this account, sometimes into that account, it’s a mess.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about anyone running away with the money.

……

At noon, Lucy came to the guild to eat. Seeing Rhodes posting new tasks, she watched from behind for a while.

“Mr. Rhodes, is there any mission suitable for me?”

Rhode glanced at the band-aid on Lucy’s forehead and said, “Why are you in such a hurry to find a new mission? Haven’t you recovered from your injuries yet?”

“Because it’s almost the end of the month…” Lucy said with a bitter face, “This month I was delayed for more than a week because of the Harvest Festival, I didn’t get the prize money for the beauty pageant, and I was caught in a mess by catching wanted criminals. In the end, I only made a little money as a waitress…”

Rhodes interrupted and said, “Look, waiter, I introduced you guys there, and you blame me for making money.”

“That’s not the point!” Lucy said frantically, “Anyway, if we don’t prepare early, next month’s rent will be ruined again!”

“Oh… If that’s the case, then there is indeed a suitable mission for you, and it doesn’t matter whether you form a team or not.”

“what? What?”

“For the money counting task, go find Mira and tell her that I need your help in counting the money, and then all the money counted will belong to you.” Rhode smiled, “How about this task?”

Lucy looked at him angrily: “How can such a good thing happen? It must be a lie.”

“Let’s make a bet. If you can’t get the money, I’ll treat you to lunch today, and I’ll also help you find a suitable mission. If you can get the money…Mira likes the blueberry mousse from Honey’s Dessert House, so go buy her one.”

Lucy began to hesitate. It sounded like a real story… No, he must have calculated that if he said that, she would believe it and then would not dare to gamble!

Lucy waved her fist: “Let’s bet!”

Rhodes watched her walk to the counter and talk to Mira. Mira seemed stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and took out a stack of money for Lucy to count.

Lucy froze. Are you serious?

Rhode made a “yeah” gesture to Mira, and Mira covered her mouth and laughed.
