He also knew people who liked to make useless props. Arizuma Kuonji from the Type-Moon world was one such person. Once they had a novel idea, they would just make it out of sheer momentum without considering the cost-effectiveness at all.

If Jiang Li wasn't special, she would definitely not be able to sell any of her props!

But Wiz's ability is even better than Kuonji Arizuma's!

Because even Jiang Li didn't want to buy a single item in her store!

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Wiz burst into tears.

I'm almost thirty years old, and my defenses were suddenly broken today!

"Okay, okay, don't cry."

Jiang Li had no choice but to comfort her.

Was this person really the Ice Witch?

The kind of iron lady who kills monsters without mercy when she sees them?

Why is it so embarrassing?

"Although your vision is like that of a dung beetle, I'm not a demon. I'll give you a little more time!"

"really?"

Wiz looked over eagerly.

He looked like he was about to cry and looked pitiful.

In the past, the landlady would immediately soften her heart when she saw her like this, and would often be willing to give her another month or two because she was so beautiful and kind and friendly.

"I'll give you another hour."

Jiang Li had an expression that said, "There's really nothing I can do to you."

"With an hour, you'll surely find a way to raise the money. Oh, I'm so tolerant!"

"...Please give me another month!"

Wiz's face froze instantly, with a twisted expression that asked, "Are you still human?"

"No."

Jiang Li refused coldly.

"why!"

Wiz's face was filled with indignation.

"Why? You don't think that just acting pitifully can sway me, do you?"

Jiang Li scoffed, "You are not related to me, why should I give you convenience?"

"That's too cold! After all, I've worked in the Demon King's Castle for ten years, maintaining the barrier for ten years. Even if I don't have any credit, I've worked hard!"

"Then you secretly embezzled 2 billion yuan. You can't pay it back even if you work your whole life."

"Well……"

When the 2 billion was mentioned, Wiz was instantly overwhelmed.

This debt was too heavy, a thousand times more terrible than the rent, and it weighed heavily on her shoulders, making it hard for her to breathe.

"How about I go back to the Demon King's Castle and be a cadre?"

Wiz suggested weakly, shrinking her neck like an ostrich.

"How about you just treat it as my monthly rent payment instead of paying it?"

Working part-time to pay the rent.

After all, it is a lich, powerful and must be very valuable. Wiz is very confident about this.

"You're just a nominal cadre, what are you doing? Do you want to get something for free?"

Jiang Li's eyes turned cold and he immediately gave him a look of contempt.

I didn't expect you to be this kind of Wiz!

"Well……"

The shop owner whimpered in grievance.

"Wiz, don't you understand?"

Jiang Li sighed and looked her up and down.

"Don't you happen to have something very valuable on you?"

His eyes were full of suggestion.

"Is there anything valuable on me?"

Wiz was startled and looked herself up and down quickly.

"How is that possible? My clothes are a year old and the colors are almost faded from washing. I don't even buy any accessories, not even cosmetics... No, it seems I have another valuable item on me!"

She finally realized something and smiled bitterly with empty eyes.

"I'm afraid the only valuable thing about me is myself. So, if I want to pay the rent, there's only one way - sell myself to pay off my debts!"

Chapter 546: Skills of Sensing Treasures (33)

Children can be taught.

Jiang Li nodded secretly, it was worth it that I bought this house!

That’s what I’ve been waiting for!

"Gululu!"

Suddenly, a strange sound was heard in the store.

Jiang Li looked over and saw Wiz holding his stomach with a slightly red face.

"Actually, I was trapped in the store early this morning by the holy water that Aqua-sama poured on me. I couldn't go out and didn't even have breakfast..."

She explained with a stammer.

"Liches also feel hungry?"

"I think so, but a lich has an infinite lifespan, so if they starve, they won't die, but it will be very uncomfortable. That's why I usually eat two meals a day."

"Two meals?"

“Because I have no money.”

"Ok."

Jiang Li's mouth twitched slightly. Who can you blame for being so poor?

"Let's go out for lunch first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

He had just killed the scorpion lion and the multi-headed water snake some time ago. Now he has hundreds of millions of assets and has no worries about spending money.

"really?"

Wiz's eyes suddenly lit up and she wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

"In that case, can I have fresh vegetables? If not, I'll just eat dead things, or even potato pancakes!"

"Can I ask what you usually eat?"

"Sugar water and bean sprouts."

Wiz answered honestly.

"...I'll take you to a nice dinner!"

Jiang Li covered his face.

I suddenly feel so guilty about collecting debts from someone as poor as Wiz. What should I do?

"No, that's not right!"

Jiang Li suddenly woke up.

"As long as she sells herself, she'll be able to eat and drink the best food in the future, she won't have to pay back her debts, and she won't have to pay rent! What a happy life that would be! So it seems I'm doing this for her own good!"

After figuring this out, Jiang Li suddenly felt very proud!

I am such a good person!

…………

It is almost noon in Axel, which is when the residents are busiest.

Farmers are harvesting newly ripened saury in the fields, while chefs are wrestling with fresh bamboo shoots in the martial arts training grounds.

The adventurers had just returned from the wild, and the entire novice village was bustling with activity.

Especially in the past two days, there have been suddenly more people wearing fancy armor on the streets.

High-level adventurers in their thirties and forties, who were rarely seen in the past, are now common, and you can even see people with black hair and red eyes, or black hair and black eyes.

"I often wonder if the identity of the Demon King has no deterrent effect at all."

Walking on the street, Jiang Li clicked his tongue twice and tilted his head in dissatisfaction.

"The Demon King has said he'll be residing permanently in the castle in the suburbs. He hasn't threatened to make the villagers submit, but few are even willing to move. Aren't they showing him disrespect?"

There should at least be some signs of panic, right?

But why is there not even a hint of fear in the air?

underestimate me?

"Because even if I knew, there's nothing I could do."

Wiz rubbed his stomach, his eyes shining with anticipation for the long-awaited delicacy.

"There are many monsters in the wild, and no one wants to risk being killed by them by moving."

And humans are also very adaptable.

Since there was no problem before, I believe there will be no problem in the future. If there is any problem, there is no way to resist it. Let the kingdom’s top leaders think about the troublesome matters. We ordinary people will be helpless even if we know about it.

There are definitely quite a few people who act like this.

"By the way, Wiz, can you sense the artifact?"

Jiang Li looked at the adventurers coming and going.

His gaze focused on the people with black hair and black eyes. Although there were not many of them, there seemed to be several of them, and their eyes were full of inquiry.

"If you show off a little bit, or show your power, it should be okay to see it."

"I can do this kind of thing, too. I mean, searching for artifacts like searching for an enemy when there's no sign of anything."

"In that case, you can learn the skill [Sensing Treasures]!"

Wiz thought for a moment and offered a suggestion.

"Sensing treasure?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows. There is such a skill?

"Yes, this is a thief skill. You can learn it with just 2 skill points."

Wiz introduced, "As long as you get close enough to the treasure, you'll automatically sense it. As for what the treasure is, that depends on how you perceive it."

what is that?

Isn’t this a super convenient skill!

Jiang Li took out his adventurer card and searched through the nearly one hundred learnable skills.

He hasn't taken a good look at the list in these days, what a waste!

In fact, he had always wanted to save skill points until he could learn teleportation magic, so he had not studied other skills seriously.
