Vickers returned to the dormitory again, this time he borrowed a copy of the "Compendium of Alchemy Materials" in the library, and planned to spend a week of free time in the dormitory to memorize all the contents of this compendium.

It sounds incredible, how could a book thicker than Wickers' thighs be remembered in a week. Vickers is a magician, mana is improving the body, including the head, he is also a mage, and his memory has long been outstanding. Until now, the knowledge of survival that was forcibly memorized a year ago has been preserved in the head.

The library has basically no administrators, and Vickers asked other people in the library to find out that all the books there can be borrowed except for the books on the fourth floor, and they can be read indefinitely. Even so, the books belonging to the library have not been lost.

As soon as they entered the dormitory, the three of them sat neatly on the sofa in the room, and the sound of Vickers entering the door broke the solemn atmosphere at this time.

Before Vickers could close the door, Lucius's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood behind him, snatching the thousands of pages of books from his hand.

"Compendium One......" Lucius returned the heavy book to him, the fluctuation on his face subsided, "Zanya, have you just started learning?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Vickers was holding a series of books, and there were more than twenty more than twenty copies in his hand, all of which were placed on the bookcase in the library.

Lucius sighed lightly: "You are the only one among us who has a side hustle knowledge teacher, have you seen the task bar? Production tasks account for more than half, and the rest of the tasks have now been snatched up." ”

Lucius's "we" doesn't mean the four people in the dormitory, but their entire class.

"Then ......" Vickers stopped talking, he wanted to ask if there was any other way to earn credits other than completing the academy tasks, and recalled what Safiel had said in class, and there was only one way for the current freshmen students to earn credits.

"Then we'll have to go hungry for a while before we learn the skills to produce. Lucius's face sank.

"Why don't you go to the living quarters for dinner?" Wix asked.

Lucius's face darkened, and he lay on his back on the couch.

"We have no money, and all the Dharma Rider Academies have an unwritten rule that you can't bring too much money with you when you enroll. Leng Kai replied for Lucius.

"I didn't rush to buy weapons if I knew it. Lucius was so depressed that he couldn't lift his head.

Vickers put down his book and walked over to his locker, counting the coins scattered in the cupboard, which were the tips he had earned at the tavern and the thirty gold coins he had given Lucius.

"I still have 15 gold, which should be enough for us for a while. Vickers looked at the lost trio.

Xiao Hao seemed to see an angel coming, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes, and he pounced on the chest of Vickers, an "angel".

"Don't you even have luggage? Lucius sat up instantly, confused.

"I don't have much money leftover from the thirty gold coins you gave. Vickers broke free of Xiao Hao, who held him tightly.

"That's ......"

Xiao Hao took out a piece of pale yellow paper that was folded randomly in his pocket, and was a little hesitant, but still spoke: "Actually, I grabbed a task......"

He handed the paper to Leng Kai, who opened the paper and read out the contents: "Collect a total of 15 gold coins for the protection fee that 'Jin Jin Hua Rong' has owed for two months, and pay 5 gold coins after the deed." Client: Ah Qiang, Submission Location: Hungry Rat Tavern. ”

Lucius looked at Xiao Hao with a look of contempt, and said, "You actually accept this kind of immoral task. ”

Xiao Hao's cheeks bulged, his face flushed, and he said angrily: "There is only one task left on the taskbar that can be done, I don't want to go hungry! Besides, it feels quite majestic to collect protection money or something, it suits me very well!"

"Just your little man, who will pay the protection money if you go to collect it. Lucius burst out laughing.

As soon as Lucius's words fell, Xiao Hao jumped on his face and scratched it.

Leng Kai didn't pay attention to the two people who were entangled next to him, but said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible to collect protection money, some fierce-looking people do play a protective role in a certain aspect, they wander around a certain store, and most people won't easily cause trouble when they see you." ”

Lucius and Xiao Hao stopped, and Lucius said in surprise, "Do you really want him to do this kind of thing?"

"Anyway, let's go check it out first. Leng Kai took the lead in getting up and walked out the door.

"Come with us, Zanea. Lucius said to Vickers, who was reading, and invited him because he was hungry.

Those who do not eat will not starve to death, but the taste of hunger is not pleasant.

"Okay. "Now that he has been invited, Vickers is not easy to refuse.

The four of them left the dormitory building and walked towards the living quarters, and on the way, Vickers suddenly asked, "What is the protection fee?"

“……”

Arriving at the living quarters, the four of them walked in from the main road in a large row of shops and walked inside.

"Can't I just throw away the task list?" Xiao Hao asked.

Lucius angrily poked his finger on the head: "When you remove that piece of paper, the ID card you brought with you is recorded." ”

"And you don't have your ID card?"

"The head teacher will lock you up in a small dark room immediately. ”

Xiao Hao was shocked, he was like the rest of the class, he was afraid of his homeroom teacher.

Leng Kai went to ask several people, and only then did he ask the location of the 'Jin Jin Hua Rong', and the four of them continued to walk deeper into the living area, passing by the small intersection in front of the sleeping giant, Vickers saw several people going in and out from a distance.

"Why Zania, you want to go there at a young age to get drunk and enjoy a debauchery life?" Lucius teased, raising an eyebrow.

Vickers shook his head vigorously in denial.

The four of them turned a corner, left the main road in the living quarters, and walked on a branch of the main road.

Leng Kai pointed ahead and said, "It's in front, it's coming soon." ”

Vickers asked Leng Kai, "Leng Kai, why does this kind of quest appear on the taskbar?"

Leng Kai looked at Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao also looked at him suspiciously, Leng Kai said: "It is impossible for the person who collects the protection fee to directly attack that store, at most, he stands at the door of the store every day and scares the guests away." They didn't receive the protection money for two months, which means that this method is not working for the store. Since they can't do it, they can only rely on us, the students of the academy, to do it. ”

"Would anyone really accept such a task, and it would have to be done by force?" Lucius frowned slightly, if he really wanted to use force, then things would be in trouble.

"Very few, most people don't come to the living quarters for a little pay to make trouble, if there is a real need to do something, the academy will do its best to protect us. In order to allow us to develop freely, the academy acquiesced in similar tasks. The shopkeeper may be afraid of the college, so let's try to persuade him. ”

"How do you know that?" Lucius glanced strangely at the squinting teenager.

Leng Kai smiled and said, "Stalkers will do a good job of gathering intelligence before killing people. ”

Lucius was startled by his flat tone, and looked at him even more strangely.

"Either I'll give up on this mission. Xiao Hao pursed his lips and lowered his head and said, he regretted taking this task very much.

Leng Kai touched his head and said softly, "We're all here, will we return in vain? If you give up this task and fail the next mission, you will be at risk of being expelled." ”

After a few words, they arrived at the front of a shop made of red bricks. The store has two floors, but it doesn't occupy a very large area, it looks plain, and there is no decoration on the surface. However, on the signboard at the door, the words "Jinjin Hua Rong" are gilded, and the golden brilliance is revealed on the signboard, which is obviously very special, resulting in a great difference between the signboard and the façade.

There were only a few passers-by in front of the door, and no one lingered here, and it seemed that the people who collected the protection money had given up.
