Chapter 043 Qualification Testing Shop
Naunai struggled violently, trying to prevent himself from being dragged away. "Master Lin, I'm here to check your qualifications!"
"What's going on?"
Seeing Lin Muqiu asking, the guard burst out with a stream of words, "Master Lin, these parents are not human. They only allow boys to learn swordsmanship, not girls!"
"Master Lin, I just talked to this little girl. She is indeed quite accomplished in swordsmanship."
The chatter between them made Naunai's parents look even uglier. "My Lords, please don't listen to their nonsense. My daughter has been naughty since she was a child and can't bear this hardship."
Naunai broke free from his restraints and rushed to Lin Muqiu. "Sir, that's not true. Please give me the testing qualifications! I'm willing to pay any price!"
She held up the piggy bank high. The little golden piggy bank painted with gold shone brightly in the sunlight, just like her expectation.
Tender and fragile.
Lin Muqiu was stunned and was about to take it, but unexpectedly, his parents dragged Naunai away mercilessly. Lin Muqiu helped Naunai and he stabilized himself, but the little golden pig did not.
The little golden pig fell heavily to the ground and broke into pieces.
A large number of half-coined old copper coins poured out and scattered at everyone's feet, which showed how long she had been saving them.
Naunai squatted down in embarrassment and picked up the coins one by one. The guards and townspeople around her couldn't bear to watch and helped her pick up the coins.
Augustine, who was originally accompanying Lin Muqiu, couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why are you hitting the kid?"
Naunai's parents blushed with embarrassment. They didn't dare confront Augustine, so they turned to their daughter and shouted, "Naunai, that's enough! Is it really necessary to take the qualification test?"
Lin Muqiu walked out slowly and stood in front of the two of them, exerting invisible pressure, "Oh? Really? I'm going to help the orphans in town with their qualifications in a few days. It's just a matter of convenience. Do your son and daughter really not need it?"
She focused on the words "sons and daughters," and it hit home. Naunai's parents were initially afraid of her and took a few steps back, but when they heard her, their eyes lit up.
Yes, his son should indeed have his qualifications checked so that he can choose the most suitable career path!
But they also noticed that Lin Muqiu's words were very cunning.
If they only test their sons at this time, it would confirm their preference for boys over girls.
In Ankang Town, favoring boys over girls is a serious crime.
The parents hesitated for a moment, "Sir, how much do you charge..."
With just one sentence, the question was thrown back.
If Lin Muqiu charges a high fee, they can naturally use the excuse of "limited resources at home" to test only their son. If Lin Muqiu offers a low price out of pity for Naunai, then they will make a profit.
Sure enough, Naunai felt a tightness in his heart and thought to himself that something was wrong.
Her little face was wrinkled, and she was about to cry. Her small hands only dared to grab a small part of Lin Muqiu's trouser leg, and her eyes showed pleading.
If she fails today, the fate that awaits her will be to be trapped in the hills for the rest of her life. Like her other companions, she will get engaged early, get married, have children, and repeat her previous life.
She unconsciously glanced at the scattered copper coins on the ground. They looked numerous, but in reality, they weren't much. Her parents only gave her younger brother pocket money, which she had secretly collected and sold in the wild, risking her life.
I heard that Lord Lin loves money very much, and I don’t know if this money is enough...
Lin Muqiu squatted down, pinched her face, and smiled softly, "If it were a cute little girl like you, all she would need would be these copper coins you brought today!"
Everyone's eyes flashed. It was the first time they saw Lord Lin's gentle and unconcerned attitude towards money, and they actually felt a little uncomfortable. Even Augustine was stunned, with a strange feeling in his heart.
I never thought that Lord Lin could have such a warm and affectionate moment.
But anyway…
They like all adults no matter what kind of person they are.
"Thank you, sir!" Naunai cried and tried hard to restrain the hot tears from falling, like fine diamond crystals.
Even the girl's parents couldn't help but rejoice, "That's great, thank you sir! I'll bring my son over right away."
After saying that, they hurried back home, not even bothering to take care of their daughter.
It seems that getting the upper hand is the first priority.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with contempt.
Lin Muqiu loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. These two people love money, but they make people feel disgusted. It's really obvious who is better.
But at the same time, a faint sense of anticipation welled up in their hearts.
Since Lin Muqiu is willing to test this family, then he can also test them, right?
They won't do it for free, they are willing to pay!
Everyone thought about it, but didn't dare to ask. After all, the qualification test was expensive, and Lin Muqiu was clearly doing charity. If they asked, they might not be able to afford the actual price.
As I was thinking this, I saw a familiar figure coming from afar. It was Mayor Kede with Ronnie.
Seeing that everyone was confused, Ke De Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
After listening to Augustine's explanation, Kedero sighed deeply, "I never thought such a thing would happen in Ankang Town."
You know, the male-to-female ratio in Ankang Town is usually 4:6, and even the guards are mostly women. The previous lord was also a woman, so there is no such a bad thing.
However, once the influx of refugees occurs, new conceptual problems like this will arise, restricting the development of the town and causing a gap in professional talent.
The beast tide is coming, and it would be best to tap into everyone's potential.
So is there a good solution?
He subconsciously glanced at Lin Muqiu, not thinking that Lin Muqiu would be so generous as to let that family go, but unexpectedly, Lin Muqiu was also looking at him with a smile.
It was an air full of the stink of money!
He was absolutely certain that Lin Muqiu had definitely figured out a way to make money! That was why he was smiling so cunningly and happily!
An idea suddenly popped into his mind, and he blurted out hastily, "Are you thinking of opening a qualification testing shop?"
When everyone saw that the mayor had asked what they were thinking, they quickly agreed.
Lin Muqiu admitted frankly, "Yes. Three silver coins per time, everyone should be able to afford it, right? The amount of testing depends entirely on personal ability."
Kedero let out a long hiss.
Three silver coins is quite cheap compared to other places.
Qualification testing is a one-time deal. Innate qualifications are not like proficiency, which will change. It will only be tested once in a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Kedero once again sighed that Lin Muqiu was so smart and always wanted both.
She wants money, fame, and she also wants to fundamentally re-establish the concept of "judging people by their individual uniqueness rather than by their gender" among the public.
Allowing your personality to stretch and allowing yourself to be yourself should never be empty talk.
However, he was very suspicious that, in addition to this purpose, Lin Muqiu provided free testing for the guards because she also wanted the guards to help her build the reputation of her qualified testing store first?
No, he didn't even need to ask her. He should have known from the cunning smile she gave him that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
But he was happy to let her earn this money, and everyone in Ankang Town was also willing to let her earn it.
only……
What does that sentence mean, "How much testing you do depends entirely on your own ability"?!
And how on earth did she manage to test so many people in one day!
And every qualification can be tested!
He really doesn't believe it's not cheating!
But Kedero didn't ask after all, because he wanted to wait until she was willing to answer.
Just as everyone was overjoyed, Naunai's parents arrived with their son, "Sir! Please help me check my son's qualifications!"
After saying that, he stuffed a dozen copper coins into Lin Muqiu's hand.
Lin Muqiu accepted it and said seriously, "Sorry, three silver coins per transaction."
The smiles on their faces froze, "You just didn't..."
Lin Muqiu spread his hands. "Yes, I meant 'if it was a cute little girl like her,' but he's a boy! And just now, inspired by you, I opened a qualification inspection shop, so now the normal price has been restored. All this is thanks to you!"
When everyone heard this for the first time, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
That’s indeed true. After all, Lin Muqiu has just stated the premise. He is not trying to trick them!
Their faces turned green. They could see that Lin Muqiu did it on purpose.
Even if they die from eating too much, they will spend money on their precious son.
As expected, their spoiled son became unhappy the next second. He always felt that he deserved preferential treatment, and this was the first time he was treated differently from his sister, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.
He shouted, "Mother, Father, it's only three silver coins, just pay her! I'll be a great swordsman in the future, what could be more important than my future?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The father was a little irritable. He suddenly felt that his son had been spoiled by them. Otherwise, he could have bargained for the price.
The commotion had become so big that they were too embarrassed to do anything. They had no choice but to slowly take out three silver coins and pay them to Lin Muqiu with a heavy heart.
Lin Muqiu waved his hand and showed everyone the interface of the friend system.
Naunai's parents stared intently at the transparent screen, hoping that their son would become a martial arts master and become the hope of the family. However, they were surprised to find that their daughter's qualifications were also displayed next to it.
【Your partner: Naunay
Level: lv4, swordsmanship level 3, assassin qualification 90, swordsman qualification 87, archery qualification 63, magic qualification 61 (folded, can be expanded), planting level 3, qualification 53, pharmaceutical qualification 51... (folded)
(Limit of your favorability with this character: All information will be displayed)
Favorability: 100
Hobbies: (to be explored)
Note: Qualifications are arranged from top to bottom! 】
【Your partner: Naubao
Level: lv0, swordsmanship level 1, swordsmanship qualification 59...
(Limit on your favorability with this character: only the one with the highest qualification is displayed)
Favorability: 45
Preferences: (to be explored)
The comparison makes the result particularly tragic.
Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. You know, a talent of 85 or above is only one in a million, but this girl has two talents above 85, and one has even passed 90!
After the age of ninety, the possibility of becoming a high-level professional will greatly increase!
To be honest, it’s not that Naunai’s younger brother Naubao’s talent is too poor, he is just at the average level. It’s mainly because his sister Naunai’s talent is too high.
Just like next to the dazzling stars, no one will notice a grain of sand.
Everyone looked at the parents as if they were watching a show, but what they said was sincere, "This child has such good talent, don't waste his time."
They thought for a moment and added, "Oh, by the way, I'm talking about my sister Naunai, don't get me wrong!"
Naunai's parents' arms were shaking slightly at this moment.
They really couldn't imagine that their beloved son, whom they loved so much, had such mediocre talent, while their daughter was so amazing!
