God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 360 - Money

Ava quickly came inside the hole.

While waiting for her, Theo searched his surroundings to ensure their safety before leaning on the cliff, staring at the blue sky.

'How should I complete the fourth mission? It's clear that this mission reeks of a bad scheme, considering how fast they are sending the mission. However, I also need to finish this one to get the chance to meet Fenrir. All I hope is that everything is worth the risk.

'Anyway, I need to find a way to do this. I have been making several plans, but I need to choose between two big choices. Will I expose my identity to see what they are up to or should I hide my identity to make them think I'm just a random guy who attacks the monster?

'If it's the latter, I'm afraid it's hard to do it because my fighting style is there for everyone to see. At the same time, it's not normal for a random guy to challenge the monster since there's no mission like that other than my personal mission.

'Also, if I choose the former, I can learn their intentions first before handling them accordingly. But I have no guarantee that it will be solved easily… So, what should I do right now?' Theo pondered over his choices, not wanting to make a wrong decision.

"As expected, an unknown enemy is worse than a very powerful family. This is the same case as the Griffith Family. Their strength is outstanding, but I don't know the full extent yet." Theo's expression turned serious. "Maybe it's better if I choose the family? Nah, either way, I will be treated as one of their assets, that's all.

"Anyway, this is irrelevant right now. I need to choose how I should approach this matter." Theo looked down.

He fell silent for half an hour before Ava finally came back to him.

"Kyu?!" Ava tilted her head when seeing Theo's grim expression. She didn't know what kind of thought he had to make such a face.

She didn't want to wake him up, so she decided to silently move away to give him time.

However, she soon heard Theo's voice.

"Ava, you done?"

"Kyu?!" Ava quickly turned around and saw Theo had changed his expression to a smile. She smiled back and nodded a few times. "Kyu."

She then pointed at the ones she had pulled out. It was located next to the hole she entered. Because of the size of the hole, Ava needed to come back a few times to put those grasses down, albeit Theo was in deep thought, not able to watch over her.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock because he saw so many strands. "This… Are you sure this is half of them?"

"Kyu!" Ava nodded with a serious expression.

"How many are there? Two hundred? Three hundred?"

Ava made a smug smile as if she had done exceptionally well.

"Thirty strands alone can give us a million Zils. If we have this much, we can get at least ten million from this mission alone. In addition to the zombie flesh, I'm afraid we can get at least twenty million for all the missions. There are also a Megalo Fish Fang and that jewel…" Theo scratched the back of his head.

At first, Theo thought they could barely make ten million on this trip. However, it certainly surpassed not only his expectations but also his imagination.

Never in his wildest dream did he think of getting that much money from four missions. Of course, finding buyers for Zombie Flesh and Purple Haze Grass would take some time, but it shouldn't take another month.

"Haha, one month gives me this much money. Of course, I need to thank the fact that we can get more than we are supposed to, but…" Theo sighed. "I guess getting a mission that requires us to bring an item in high demand is good because we can submit some of them while selling it at the same price. Of course, we are very lucky with this one."

Theo laughed. "How about we spend a million just for the feast? I think we can get a ton of food…"

Ava's expression brightened as she jumped in happiness. "Kyu!"

"Haha, with that much money, I doubt we can finish the food within a month. And we also have several monsters flesh that I have killed… I won't sell them and just cook it for you."

Ava was ecstatic as she could get all the food she wanted.

Theo smiled when he saw this reaction.

Theo then walked to the grass and sat next to them. "Help me separate ten strands each. I will use the grass around us to tie them up. This can make us sell these grasses easier."

"Kyu!" She happily came to Theo and helped him.

Meanwhile, Theo had decided on their course of action after seeing this result. "Anyway, after doing this, we will go back to our camp and set a new one near the lake. I think we'll use the remaining time to train and prepare ourselves for the next seven days."

Ava nodded while putting down ten strands before giving it to Theo. He then plucked the grass next to him and tied the ten strands using it as a temporary measure.

Theo also counted them one by one. It seemed Ava also brought back every ten strands she found, so they got a perfect number for everything. It turned out there were a total of 430 strands that Ava brought back.

The two then returned to their camp and brought everything near the lake. Of course, he made sure they didn't get too close because he didn't know what kind of scheme they would meet there.

After all, Theo knew there were two types of scenarios. The first scenario was a person who just wanted to meet him by submitting the mission, while the second scenario was an ambush.

After thinking it through, Theo made this decision and spent the rest of the day training while spoiling Ava.
