At night, the government affairs center of Harmonious Village.

The humble building has just been fully completed. It covers five floors and consists of more than twenty rooms and a spacious conference hall.

In order to simplify the difficulty of the project, the entire building is gradually decreasing pyramid-shaped, with only one bell tower at the highest point. The main body that is more than 20 meters high and the flag that is more than ten meters high makes it a landmark in the black forest. You can see the dazzling red color on the top of the bell tower from a distance.

There were grease torches in the hall, and hundreds of people were crowded. Zhou Qingfeng stood on the head, smiling and suppressed hundreds of people underneath. No one came with any rules, noisy and bustling, greeting each other, or staring at each other.

"Please be quiet, everyone." Government assistant Rubio shouted at the top of his voice, but he could not block the noise of the crowd. Until the dignified and bright Princess Inesa came out, the local buns restrained and the scene was controlled.

Zhou Qingfeng had time to say a few words, "Everyone, I'm very happy that you can come. I'm even happier..."

"If you are happy, please give us a drink." A strange cry sounded in the crowd, causing a burst of laughter. Most of the people who gathered today were outside adventurers, one was rougher than the other, irrespectful and meticulous.

Zhou Qingfeng just smiled at this, and after the voice calmed down, he continued: "Since the establishment of Harmonious Village, many people have made efforts to its prosperity. Today is a commendation meeting, and some people who work particularly hard will receive honors and rewards."

"Don't use those empty words to deceive people. I just want to know if honor can be exchanged for money?" The people who said strange words spoke again, and laughed again as usual. They obviously regarded the government affairs center as a tavern.

Faced with these unruly guys, Zhou Qingfeng decided to finish the process as soon as possible. He looked at Rubio beside him, who quickly took out a form and called out a name, "Hiss Adrian, please leave the list."

Before the meeting, I said it was a commendation meeting, but no one knew what it meant? There were chairs in the conference hall, and no one was sitting honestly.

Now Rubio named it. People looked around and were restless for a long time. Everyone was surprised what this guy named Adrian did, but was called out by the first one.

After a while, no one came out, Rubio had to raise his voice and shout a few more words. Only then did a funny guy walk out of the crowd. He was not tall, wearing a ridiculous hat, and was not good-looking. He looked like a clown, and his gait was particularly sluggish.

Zhou Qingfeng was also surprised and asked: "Are you Adrian?"

"Yes." The clown replied angrily. He scratched his head, not adapting to the feeling of being watched. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone heard that he was the one who was just making noise.

Could it be that you want to call this man out and clean up?

Zhou Qingfeng's face also darkened, and he kept advising himself in his heart, "I am the leader, the leader, I want to lead the entire team, be tolerant and not get angry casually." But he still glanced at Rubio and thought to himself: How do you choose such a person to commend him?

Rubio was also embarrassed and nervous, and gritted his teeth and read the report, "Mr. Adrian, you arrived in Harmony Village two months ago and joined our patrol team. In two months, you have never lacked jobs on duty for fifty times in a row. This attitude of work is very worthy of praise."

The praise made the clown uneasy, and he started scratching his butt again, "Uh..., it's actually because I'm short of money. The wages given by the village are quite satisfactory, and a lot of money is deducted at absenteeism. I can't make a falsification yet, and people come to check the job every time."

The people in the conference hall laughed. Everyone came to Harmony Village to make money and had similar experiences. Zhou Qingfeng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this funny guy really did something.

Rubio continued: "You are loyal to your duties and are not scammers. You issued accurate warnings six times during patrol to avoid the team being attacked by monsters in the forest. You have also saved a teammate and allowed him to escape from the goblin trap.

You have made our group less losses, maintained morale and interests, which is rare. We are very happy to have you joined and are willing to honor your work.”

Recognize this?

The clown's face was stunned. He shrugged and said indifferently: "I didn't think there was anything special about this. I didn't think much about what you said at the time. I didn't work so hard for some special reason."

"It's right not to think too much." Zhou Qingfeng's face turned serious and took out a small badge from a tray at hand. "Mr. Adrian, many people will despise you when they first meet you, and even me is no exception.

But you are the model worker this month, so that's enough. You will be promoted to the captain of the patrol team and will also have a bonus of three gold coins. Can you allow me to wear this badge for you?

With this badge, before someone replaces you, your personal consumption in the village can be 20% off, including drinking.”

The badge is very simple, just a small piece of wood with engravings.

The clown Adrian was stunned again. He took off the hat on his head and was stunned for a long time. Zhou Qingfeng stood on the stage and smiled at him. The commendation seemed to be not a fake or teasing person.

Taking a deep breath, Adrian whispered: "Uh..., I never thought I would get what I would get because of these things. I really want to reward me? I don't understand what a 'model worker' is."

Zhou Qingfeng still smiled and said in a deep voice: "Please come forward, this is indeed a reward."

Wow..., there was a marvel in the conference hall.

"Oh my God. I'm a little panicked, I don't know what to say?" The clown was nervous for a while, and carefully stepped forward a few steps. He stood in front of Zhou Qingfeng for a long time before he stroked his hat and bowed deeply to pay tribute. The venue was silent in an instant, and he was stunned.

"His Excellency Hugo, please forgive me for being rude just now. I feel so guilty now."

Adrian is a real clown, the kind of playful play. He knows some tricks, is agile, and is good at entertaining. He usually follows a circus to and from town, or performs on the streets and taverns to earn some money.

News of elves relics were heard in the Black Forest, a large number of adventurers gathered, and the reputation of Harmony Village gradually spread. Adrian didn't think about going to explore. He had no ambitions, but he thought that it was easy to make money in places with a large population, so he paid the fare to Harmony Village.

But when he arrived in the village, Adrian didn't even have to pay for a drink in the tavern. Inisa just so happened to solve the security problems in the village by recruiting people, so he joined the patrol team and made a living.

Adrian did not have noble ideals, and it was difficult to survive if he filled his stomach. His diligence was entirely because he was too poor to withstand any losses and had to work honestly. But he never thought that he would get rewards because he was not lazy.

"Mr. Hugo, I'm very happy to be rewarded. I used to be a living by being a slutty myself and making people laugh. I never thought that anyone could agree with me. Words cannot express my inner gratitude, so I can only say 'Thank you'."

Adrian lowered his head and kept his bowing posture for a long time, suddenly choking. He even wanted to lie down and kiss Zhou Qingfeng's upper.
