Rody pulled out a wooden cart with no goods on it, and the little chubby boy and Jill followed him strangely.

Upon arrival, Rody extended his hand to the little chubby boy and Jill and said, "Hand over your principal." After receiving two gold coins, Rody produced a piece of paper covered with densely written words that were unclear, and handed a gold coin to the chubby boy, instructing, "According to the list above, purchase at least 300 kilograms of each item, the more the better. For every 15% extra you buy of each item, I'll reward you with a silver coin."

"Fruits and fresh meat?" The chubby boy, upon seeing this, immediately beamed with joy and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

"Jill, you also have a shopping list," Rody said, taking out another piece of paper and handing it to the timid Jill. "You are responsible for purchasing wine, vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, and spices, etc. The quantity should be as per the list, and the higher the quality, the better."

"Understood," Jill's small hand trembled as she took the paper and the gold coin, and ran off like a deer.

Rody, doing nothing himself, sat down, opened a book on alchemy, and began reading contentedly, as if no one else was there.

After a long time, the little chubby boy returned, gasping for breath, followed by a follower carrying sacks. Rody ignored him, and the chubby boy Tommy opened the sacks himself, had the follower bring well water, and took out fruits covered in mud and ashes, cleaning them one by one. Soon, Leo came striding with three deer over his shoulder, two rabbits in his hand, and a bloody sack at his waist, happily saying, "Tommy, I've hunted the deer and rabbits you wanted, and a wild boar too. As for the rest, I'll deliver them as soon as possible."

"Leo, your bravery is commendable," the chubby boy said, taking out eight silver coins with a grin. "For the venison and mutton you'll bring later, I'll not only pay you five silver coins but also reward you with an additional silver coin."

"Thank you, I will do my best," Leo gratefully nodded and said, "Tommy, I really appreciate you."

"Don't mention it, we are all classmates," Tommy, the chubby boy, said with a smile on his face, looking as cunning as a fox that had stolen a chicken.

After a while of busy work, Jill also returned, carrying big and small bags.

She thought she had done quite well, but she was stunned to see that Tommy had already bought a mountain-like pile of fresh meat and fruit with just one gold coin.

"Hey, fatty, your fish has arrived!" Soon after, the swift-legged thief Terry also arrived, carrying a large string of fish.

"Suddenly, I really want to be called 'boss'..." The chubby boy tossed the silver coins in his hand with pride. Upon seeing this, Terry immediately switched to a smile and said obsequiously, "Handsome Tommy, is there anything else you'd like me to do? Terry, the thief from Blackwind Valley, is at your service."

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

"Wash all the fruits!" The chubby boy looked at Terry with his nose and tossed the silver coins.

"At your service," Terry immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the water bucket.

"Rody, I've almost finished preparing the fruits and fresh meat. Do you have any other instructions?" The chubby boy, proud for a mere two seconds, hurried over to Rody as soon as he closed his book, with a respectful and cheerful face, changing so quickly that it dazzled Jill.

"If you remember you have a pair of hands, then pick up the sword and separate the skin and flesh, and chop the big pieces for me," Rody casually instructed.

"At your command," the chubby boy took the broadsword Rody handed him and rushed towards the wild boar, passing by Jill with a smile, "Jill, you must be tired. Please sit down and rest for a while. I'll come and chat with you once I'm done..."

"She can't rest." Rody unexpectedly instructed Jill to work, saying, "Use your Frost Magic to freeze the meat pieces chopped by the chubby boy."

"What are you all doing?" A valiant female swordsman carrying a giant sword and a huge log approached. Seeing Rody leisurely writing, and Tommy and Terry busily working, even Jill not resting, she became angry. She put down the log heavily and came over to ask, "You're a man, how can you make others work for you? This is exploitation, it's too much!"

"Am I too much?" Rody looked surprised and then said indifferently, "Tell them, if they don't like it, they don't have to be exploited. I'm not forcing them."

"No, we like to work and are very obedient, please don't drive us away. Rody, don't misunderstand, actually, our hearts are not like that. Terry, what are you waiting for, quickly sing a 'Labor Is Most Glorious' to express your feelings. Wait, maybe we should sing 'Ode to Joy' or 'Harvest Song' to better express our joyful mood," the chubby boy quickly dropped the broadsword and ran out to mediate.

"Aurelia, you're here," Jill said, happily running to stand with the valiant female swordsman.

"Tell your sister, is this person bullying you?" The female swordsman named Aurelia pointed at Rody with high spirits and said, "Jill, don't be afraid. If it's true, I'll definitely stand up for you. I won't let him go!"

"Boring," Rody glanced at her without looking, continuing to write.

"There's going to be a good show," Tommy and Terry shook hands and hid to the side, waiting for an opportunity to watch the drama unfold.

"Aurelia, you misunderstood, he, he didn't bully me..." Jill lowered her head, perhaps feeling that her words might be misunderstood, and became too shy to continue.

"Get back to work, why are you standing here after getting paid?" Rody, seeing the gloating smiles of Tommy and Terry, became furious.

"If you were capable, you wouldn't insult people so shamelessly with money!" Aurelia snorted heavily.

"I'll insult people with money, so what?" Rody stopped writing, took out a gold coin, and asked, "Who wants to be insulted by me?"

"Wow! Me!" Terry was the first to volunteer.

"Get lost! Go queue up!" Although Tommy wasn't as quick to react as Terry, he was good at backstabbing. He kicked Terry down and rushed forward, laughing, "Rody, I'm ready. If one gold coin is for one insult, then please insult me as much as you want! Oh heavens, please don't feel pity for me because I'm fat. No matter how many times you insult me, be it a thousand or ten thousand times, I'm willing. Please insult me!"

"Get lost!" Rody put away the gold coin and scolded, "Dream on!"

"At your command," Tommy looked regretfully at the gold coin and returned dejectedly, shouting at the lewdly laughing Terry, "Work! Or someone's wages will be deducted!"

"Boss, have a drink and calm down. There'll definitely be more chances to be insulted, please don't worry," Terry offered Tommy water and massaged his shoulders.

"Cheap bones, I'm so angry!" These two guys completely infuriated Aurelia.

"Why not, Aurelia, come help too. I think Rody definitely needs more help!" Jill suggested, "If it's the same five silver coins a day, it's easy to earn two gold coins!"

"Who wants to help him? I, I'd rather carry logs every day!" Aurelia, furious, picked up the giant log and walked away, bumping into several passersby.

"Stubborn, but I bet she'll change her mind in two days..." Tommy chuckled and turned to ask Terry, "Shall we bet?"

"What? Betting again?" Terry, terrified, shook his head vigorously, "Since I lost to you last time, I swore never to bet with you, you sneaky fatty! Let me tell you, my money is hard-earned, you won't win a copper coin from me again! Wow, Rody, what do you mean? You're selling kebabs and juice? Do you need someone to barbecue? I can work diligently all day for three silver coins, and I won't even steal a bite!"
