Chapter 22 Director Jia's First Bucket of Gold
In the square in the center of Ximu Town, Jia Xiu’s temporary hair growth stall has been set up.

Jia Xiu moved a bench and waited for business to come.

There are still some wealthy people in the town who can use "Director-level Hair Growth".

Although he had not counted the population, he estimated that Ximu Town had at least several thousand people. Without such a scale, there would not be so many branches of associations stationed here.

But then again, treating thousands of people one by one is a bit too much work.

Jia Xiu turned his gaze to Bubu who was drawing with chalk.

It drew a Bubu on the ground, but this one was wearing knight armor and there was a tall man next to him.

Judging from the association robe the tall man was wearing, Jia Xiu felt that it should be himself.

But why is the expression so evil?

What's with that evil smile showing his fangs? Is this how Bubu sees him?

Forget it, don’t bother with the “kid”.

Jia Xiu leaned over and asked, "Bubu, are you fast at learning new spells?"

"I don't know, boss."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

Even if your intelligence is 4, you should have an idea of ​​how fast you can learn spells.

"I haven't learned any new spells."

Bubu answered honestly.

"Then how did you learn your magic, the one that turned people's heads into fireworks in the cave?"

“I didn’t learn it, I just learned it myself.”

After hearing Bubu's answer, Jia Xiu's expression became tangled and ferocious.

Something is wrong!

You will learn it without studying.

Listen, is this human talk?
Oh, that’s not right, Bubu is indeed not a human.

Jia Xiu took out his magic book, which recorded most of the strange spells he had modified so far, including the hair growth version of healing.

Turn to that page and hand it to Bubu.

"Can you understand? This is the spell I'll use later to grow my hair."

"Boss, do knights also need to use spells to grow hair?"

"Knights also have to pay attention to their appearance, so managing their hair is an essential skill for them."

Jia Xiu felt that if he continued to fool people like this, sooner or later the word "knight" would become a synonym for "know-it-all" in his mouth.

"Okay, boss, let me take a look."

Bubu took the magic book and stared at——

The little eyes were filled with great doubts.

"can't read."

Hearing Bubu's answer, Jia Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. This would be too scary if he saw it at first glance...

Before Jia Xiu could speak, Bubu continued, "But it works."

""

I don’t even want to act anymore!
I don't understand why it works. Charm of 28 is used to gain the favor of the God of Magic, right?

Bubu raised his little hand and released the hair growth healing technique without even using any spell, and a green light shone between his hands.

Yellow eyes blinked at Jia Xiu, "Boss, I want to try, but I don't have any hair."

Jia Xiu looked at the empty square and streets. It was too early and there was no one there.

"Are you sure this healing spell didn't hurt?"

"Don't worry, Boss."

Jia Xiu thought about it and realized that it was level 19, so it was right.

So he squatted on the ground and said, "Try it on my head. I'm the boss after all."

……

"It worked, Boss."

"Let me see... No, why is this thing green?"

Jia Xiu asked in disbelief as he looked at the green hair in the mirror.

"How did you add the dyeing function?"

"Huh? Boss, I don't know."

……

After struggling for several minutes, under Jia Xiu's guidance, Bubu finally mastered the method of growing hair back to its original color.

Jia Xiu has grown long hair that falls over his shoulders, and each section is a different color.

Just use a knife to cut off the non-mainstream color parts, leaving a head of black hair that is slightly longer than a crew cut.

Jia Xiu never cared much about things like hairstyle. He stayed in the laboratory every day for more than ten hours and had no mood to care about his hairstyle.

He always pays high respect to every graduate student who dresses up beautifully to come to the laboratory.

It's incredible energy.

"Alright, when someone comes to do the hair growth later, you'll do the apprentice-level hair growth, and I'll do the director-level hair growth."

"Boss, what is a director?"

“It’s a kind of senior management.”

"So is being a hairdresser also considered senior management?"

"Good question, but it's not important. What's important is that I can get 100 kroner for calling it by that name."

Not long after, the sky brightened and screams began to be heard from the residential buildings around the square.

"Ah—my hair!"

This might be the fastest morning the townspeople in Riverwood have ever woken up. Who can wake up to a pillow full of hair while still feeling sleepy? It's enough to startle you awake.

Soon, someone discovered Jia Xiu setting up a stall in the square.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try since there was no other choice, the first customer arrived.

After watching his hair grow back on his shiny head in the mirror, the customer became a walking advertisement.

Soon, a long line formed in front of the stall.

Bubu is responsible for sales volume, while Jia Xiu is responsible for cheating people.

Because of its high agility, Bubu's casting speed is also astonishingly fast. It can grow a head of hair in a few seconds. It stands on a stool and creates a hair growth production line for itself.

However, because the speed was so fast, he looked like a reckless apprentice.

Jia Xiu is different.

His spell casting speed was much slower, and his magic power was also weak, so he could only grow a patch of hair at a time, and it would take seven or eight spells to fully grow the hair.

But in the eyes of the guests, this is the result of slow and careful work.

In order to make the sucker, no, the distinguished guest, feel that so many kronor were worth spending, Jia Xiu deliberately slowed down his pace and pretended to comb each strand of hair as it grew.

It is difficult for non-professionals to distinguish between good and bad from a professional perspective, but the amount of time spent is an intuitive feeling.

Jia Xiu also rented a sofa for 5 herre to provide guests enjoying the director's service with a more comfortable experience. By the way, he cooperated with the vendor selling watermelon juice in the square, so that guests who purchased the director's service could drink as much watermelon juice as they wanted.

In fact, 1 kronor can buy a cart of watermelons.

But the service industry sells service.

The owner of the Ximu Town quarry admired his new hair in the mirror and said, "Tsk, this director's hair looks better."

In fact, there is no difference at all.

"really."

"Your beautiful hair makes the square shine."

The two henchmen brought by the quarry owner also took the initiative to act as supporting actors.

The boss was so happy that he gave me an extra 20 kronor as a tip.

Pay attention!

As piles of kronor came in, a small problem arose at Jia Xiu's stall.

Maybe it’s because of the charm of Bubu 28, plus it’s small and cute.

The hands of customers who come to Shengfa are not very clean.

"Come, let auntie touch me."

"Come on, let auntie hug you."

……

As a last resort, Jia Xiu could only add it on the small blackboard.

"Please do not touch the apprentice. If you really want to touch me, I will charge you 1 Her for each touch."

But this did not stop the enthusiastic "auntie".

On the contrary, because they paid money, they touched more unscrupulously.

By the evening, the price had risen to 5 herzel for each touch, but there were still many aunts who had plenty of money in their pockets who would just throw in a few kronor.

"Five minutes of touch first."

The stall's business runs from early morning to late evening. Thanks to Bubu's rapid spellcasting and super endurance, there is not a single bald head left in Ximu Town.

People also began to speculate what caused the collective hair loss in the town.

Some people heard that several cultists were sent to the Adventurer's Guild, and their leader even blew his own head off during the ritual, which was said to have summoned the undead.

Someone else thought that last night was a full moon night, so the nursery rhyme that had been forgotten for many years and poor Bubu was remembered again.

People took the nursery rhyme as a prophecy. It turned out that the whole town would suffer a disaster on the next full moon night.

But people don’t know that Bubu is not pitiful now.

It was counting money with Jia Xiu.

"That's 1865 crowns and 30521 hulls, which adds up to..."

Bubu was counting on his fingers hard.

"2170 kronor and 21 herr." Jia Xiu answered casually. The coins were wrapped in a large bundle and were quite heavy.

"Wow, Boss, how did you figure that out?"

"It's amazing, isn't it? Study hard and I'll teach you later."

Jia Xiu finally regained some confidence in Bubu.

"Today's profits are split 651/660. You're... . Let's round it up. You take . Sounds good."

"Bubu doesn't need money, and Bubu has never spent any money. Just take it, Boss."

"Oh, okay, then I'll keep it for you first."

Hey, why does this sound familiar?

Bubu looked a little unhappy.

Jia Xiu thought he was annoyed by the touch of those "scary aunts".

"Hey, what's wrong, Bubu, next time if there's something you don't want to do just tell me, I won't force you."

"No, it's just that the boss said that knights should pay attention to their appearance."

Bubu looked at his worn clothes, his eyes filled with grievance.

"Hey, that's no big deal. I know a really great tailor. Come on, I'll take you there."

Jia Xiu took Bubu, one big and one small, walking on the street illuminated by the sunset.

"Boss, can you tell a story?"

Bubu asked suddenly.

"Tell a story?" Jia Xiu thought for a moment, "I have a story about an evil little wizard, and a story about a dark magician. Which one do you want to hear..."
