Chapter 758 Gods' Game: Card Swapping 2
After putting the gloves he had pulled out of the trash can back on, Yu Xunge hid his golden finger.
Holding the bread, she began to think about what she should do next.
Based on her 10 years of life experience, eating, sleeping, and going to school seem to be the only three things that are absolutely necessary.
Earning money to go to school seems to be the best option.
Maybe I can even learn some of the strange abilities here.
She had seen treasure hunters and some residents of the town use magic, but she didn't know how they did it. In her mind, knowledge could be learned in school, and perhaps only by going to school could magic be activated.
I just don't know if compulsory education even exists in this world...
She can forget about finding someone to adopt her; she has Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, she has the best parents and younger brother, and she can't accept any other parents.
After finishing her bread, Yu Xunge changed her clothes. Although they didn't fit perfectly, they were the cleanest clothes she had collected over the past few days. She flew back to the city and started looking for job postings.
This brings us to her second golden touch.
When she first came into this world, in order to survive, her first choice was not to rummage through the town's trash cans, but to try to find some fruit in the woods outside the town.
But she discovered that she actually knew quite a few herbs, and when she saw several herbs, their effects, properties, and potion recipes would appear in her mind. She also felt that this was not just simple knowledge, but that she could easily turn them into potions.
She actually has two cheat codes after she transmigrates!
The future looks very bright!
What else could this be but a protagonist's script?!
For the past three days, she has been secretly observing the creatures of this town, studying their habits, and she doesn't know much about this world.
All she knew was that the town was called Caladom and the nearest metropolis was called Delano.
This small town must be a transportation hub, with many merchants coming and going, making it very prosperous.
Various shops lined several streets.
It was precisely because the residents of the town lived in relatively good conditions that she was able to frequently find well-packaged, recently expired food and clothes that were only 50-60% new in the garbage street, and that a child with no ability to protect himself had survived unharmed for so many days.
At this moment, Yu Xunge was standing outside a potion shop, looking up at the job postings on the shop window.
...Well, she couldn't understand a large portion of the text above, as if her Chinese proficiency had been directly replaced by the cultural level of this world.
But the elementary school student still managed to understand the job posting and the pharmacist's hourly wage—5 silver coins.
Not knowing how much it would cost to go to school, the child, who wasn't even as tall as the store's handrail, pushed open the door and went inside.
Two minutes later, she was grabbed by the back of her collar and thrown out.
Sitting on the ground, Yu Xunge pouted and forcefully held back her tears. She patted her bottom and got up, intending to go to the bakery next door.
Across the street, in front of the jewelry store, a child with red curly hair sat on the steps, resting his chin on one hand and holding a baby bottle in the other.
Red Curly Hair drank his Moo Moo Milk from the bottle while watching the little homeless boy dressed in adult clothes walk into shop after shop looking for work.
Her little tuft of hair on her head became messy as she was constantly being thrown out.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she wiped them away forcefully each time they were about to fall.
A few minutes later, the little beggar was thrown out of the barbecue restaurant across the street. The force was so great that she didn't even have time to take off and rolled all the way to the red-haired girl.
The red-haired girl slurped down the last drop of milk from her bottle, looked at the black-haired child who was getting up and patting his bottom, and asked, "Are you looking for a job?"
The child in front of her, with her belly protruding, adjusted the collar of her black leather jacket—which she wore like a trench coat—and then glanced at the red curly hair and the jewelry store behind it.
She cleared her throat, furrowed her brow slightly, and said in a serious tone in an amusingly childlike voice, "Yes, as you can see, I'm looking for a job to support myself. Do you need a pediatric nutritionist?"
The woman with the red curly hair turned around and called out to the young couple busy in the shop, "Mom, do I need a nutritionist?"
A child's voice is very penetrating; even with the shop door closed, it is enough for the people inside to hear it clearly.
The woman inside shouted, "You don't need it, but I do!"
The woman with red curls laughed, then turned to look at the child in front of her, giving him a wicked smile: "Sorry, I don't need it."
Yu Xunge patted off non-existent dust from his clothes, raised his chin, and said casually, as if he had only asked casually, "That's a real shame."
With that, she turned and left.
Red Curly Hair stared at her retreating figure for a few seconds, biting a straw. Just as she was about to walk away, Red Curly Hair called out, "West Street."
The child turned to look at her, a puzzled look in his eyes.
Red curly hair: "There's a kid on West Street who's also looking for a job. You could talk to her."
The child stared at her for a few seconds, perhaps realizing she was actually quite approachable, then suddenly ran back, his eyes shining, and asked, "Excuse me, do you know where the nearest school is?"
Red-haired man: "Kaladom doesn't have schools, only Draenor does."
The child then asked, "Do you know roughly how much the tuition is?"
The woman with the red hair turned around again and called out, "Mother, how much is the tuition for Moonlight Wetlands for a year?"
The young woman shouted, "1,000 gold coins per semester, you know that's exactly the amount you could get by selling me and your father a hundred times over."
The red-haired woman shrugged: "You heard me."
The child gave her a bright, grateful smile, waved, and ran away.
…
After getting some important information from the red-haired girl, Yu Xunge stopped looking for a job and instead went to West Street.
It is indeed quite difficult for one person to find a job; there are very few job openings in this small town.
She urgently needs to find a partner to exchange experiences with.
Well, the main problem was the amount of 1000 gold coins.
After looking at the price list posted at the entrance of the gem shop, she had roughly deduced the currency ratio of this world.
100 silver coins are equal to 1 gold coin.
In other words, even if she successfully finds a job at the bakery, working 10 hours a day, she would only earn 1 gold coin every two days. She would have to work for 2000 days without eating or drinking to save enough for a semester's tuition. This doesn't even include food and clothing during her studies, or the cost of traveling to school...
Besides, you can't just save up enough for one semester to go.
It's impossible for me to work.
She planned to ask that peer who was looking for a job on West Street to discuss whether she should try to start a business or something.
According to Qiu Guo, 10 years old is the age to take risks.
