Zhou Yan still remembers that when he was four years old, he was faced with a heavy choice.

"Son, choose well." The mother was still very young at that time with an inexplicable smile on her face, and the young Zhou Yan didn't understand it at the time, but when she grew up and looked back on it, she felt that the smile seemed to reveal a little bit of evil.

If you want to say why you think so, it is because of the several books in front of Zhou Yan at that time, the first two were the first. The one on the left is called "Dugu Nine Swords", and the one on the right is called "Sword Spectrum to Waroff Evil Spirits".

……

……

"So how can there be such a pit son! How could something so strange get in? With a roar of complaints, Zhou Yan woke up suddenly.

Then, he looked around him clearly, and it was an alley with no people. Wearing a T-shirt and trousers already sneakers. Although the sky was a little darker, it should not have been too long before I fell unconscious.

"Tsk. It's not a dream. ”

"Did you just smack your tongue?" The voice of a girl named Li, who claims to be a god, sounded in my head.

"No, you heard me wrong." Zhou Yan denied: "So successful? Have I learned the language and writing of this world? ”

Zhou Yan tried to imagine while confirming, but no new knowledge appeared in his consciousness.

"It almost burned out your brain, but it barely succeeded." I could feel a sigh of relief in my mind.

"Wait, what did you just say? I felt like I had heard something terrible. ”

"Ah, no, shouldn't you go to the adventurer's guild in this city?" Then a god naturally changed the subject: "You have to work hard to complete the first task." ”

"First mission?" Zhou Yancai remembered that the other party's ability was a "task and sacrifice" that had no autonomy and was completely passively accepted.

"Well, what is needed is the horns of the Minotaur, and the reward is ten gold."

"Anyway, if I sacrifice that Minotaur's horn to you, you'll get a reward of ten gold, right?" Zhou Yan scratched his head and was a little impatient: "Gold, does it mean the currency of this world?" ”

"Yes." Li explained, "Anyway, you have to work hard, we have to work together for a long time." ”

Zhou Yan sighed and asked helplessly, "Then the last question, what kind of goal does the former One God want me to achieve?" ”

"Let's take down the others and make me the new One God or something." The voice in his head seemed to be a little uncertain.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Yan complained: "Anyway, it's just a matter of finding a way to defeat other traversers, right?" ”

"Probably, yes......"

"Probably?"

"Because the number of time-travelers is much larger than our number, some of them are not partnered with the gods."

"That is, if we are an account and you are players? And you can only choose one account to link, as for the other people who are not selected, they are alternative accounts? ”

"Well, if you're beaten by an alternate, I'll form a new partnership with him. So you have to work hard not to be abandoned by me. ”

"Can you reveal this information to me?" Zhou Yan sighed speechlessly in his heart.

He has a new understanding of the other party's lack of scheming. After all, after listening to that information, Zhou Yan could completely avoid the dispute, so that he could avoid the "abandoned by God" such a thing.

"Oh, don't worry, if I become the only god, I will have a very powerful ability, and when the time comes, I will fulfill the three of you, ah no, it's a wish." After finding that Zhou Yan was silent, Li hurriedly said this after mistakenly thinking that it was for other reasons.

"You should be more sacred and strict." Feeling the panicked feelings, Zhou Yan glanced at him and complained.

"But you actually know about account numbers."

"Because, at birth, we were given the necessary knowledge by the One God."

"Wait, how long have you been born?"

"Although I was born not long ago, I can't just ask a girl about her age."

"So you're still a child who doesn't know anything about the world?" Zhou Yan covered his forehead and thought silently in his heart.

"Instinct sue me, did you have any rude thoughts just now? There is a saying in the knowledge that a girl's intuition is very accurate! ”

"No, not really." Zhou Yan said bluntly and perfunctorily: "Okay, anyway, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild first, right?" By the way, you should be able to get the initial equipment, at least a sword. ”

"I know this! To take care of the newcomers. "I have the child-like love of showing off my knowledge in my mind.

Zhou Yan ignored it and walked straight out of the alley. But the thoughts in his heart were exactly as Li said, even though he already had some kind of bad premonition.

"Please pay the handling fee and two gold first."

It was a mature and beautiful woman with a professional smile on her face who spoke.

After some inquiries and finally found the Adventurer's Guild, Zhou Yan immediately went to the front desk to explain that he wanted to become a novice adventurer. But the reply was the same as above.

"Huh?" Zhou Yan was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while. He never imagined that he would have to pay a fee to become an adventurer.

However, the clerk lady still explained politely: "Because to apply for a special card that can record your parameters and the number of crusades, you must pay for the raw materials, labor costs, and management fees you need, which is a consistent rule of the guild. ”

What else can be said? Now that it has been determined that it is a rule, there is no way to do it.

Zhou Yan said sorry and walked out of the Adventurer's Guild in despair.

"Li, why don't you report such an important situation to me?" Zhou Yan asked directly to the girl who claimed to be a god in his mind.

"Hug, sorry. I forgot ......" responded with Li's slightly stuttering voice and apologetic expression.

"Forget it." Zhou Yan shook his head: "Let's think about how to make money first, right?" ”

Even if you are helpless, there is no way to do it, and what you have to do now is very simple. The communication between Tong Guò and the staff lady just now Zhou Yan had also confirmed that he had indeed learned the language and writing of another world, and when he found that he could speak fluently in a language he had never heard before, Zhou Yan himself was really shocked.

"What are you going to do here?" Li asked cautiously, looking like she was still sorry for not giving her enough information.

"Let's work part-time and find out if there are any short-term jobs." Zhou Yan looked around and asked in his mind, "That's right, Li." Explain to me the currency and prices of this world. ”

"Huh? Oh good. ”

Hearing the reply in his mind that seemed to have not reacted for a while, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

Through the introduction of guòli, Zhou Yan learned that the currency of this world is divided into three types: gold, silver, and copper. The conversion is in decimal system, i.e. one gold is equal to ten silver is equal to one hundred copper. And a baguette-sized bread is about two coppers, and Zhou Yan estimated with his own food consumption that it would take about two to eat a full meal.

So although the two golds are not much, they are not too little.

After looking for a long time, Zhou Yan chose a restaurant that looked good.

The negotiation with the boss was unusually smooth, and Zhou Yan even wondered if this was the special protection brought by the god Li?

The content of the job is to help serve and deliver food, and after helping to get through the peak period of dinner, not only can you get a free dinner, but also have a salary of 50 silver. Although staying in a hotel for 50 silver is two nights, if you choose a simple place such as a horse shed, you can stay for 3 nights for 10 silver. If you work hard, you can help even at noon tomorrow, and you can earn enough money to become an adventurer the day after tomorrow.

Zhou Yan, who had a good calculation in his heart, waited for the time to pass, and then ushered in a dumbfounded.

"New here! Serve the one-hit kill flame meal to table four. ”

What the? One-hit kill flame meal? What's that name? Please, can you name the dish at a glance?

Zhou Yan complained in his heart, while identifying the so-called "one-hit killing flame meal" from the table where the dishes were temporarily put away.

"New here! Haven't the goblin claws of Table Eight been delivered yet? ”

"Right now!"

Zhou Yan promised as he began to look for something that looked like a claw.

"New here! Saigas Eyeball Table No. 1! ”

"Eyeballs? What's that? How could there be such a thing? ”

Zhou Yan was already going crazy, he didn't know which one was which one was with so many dishes. What's the deal with such a strange name?

Braised and steamed, stir-fried...... If it's like this, you won't be mistaken or unrecognized. However, when Zhou Yan complained, he came again:

"New here! If you don't have enough fish, go dig one in the back field! ”

Do fish live in the ground and can be caught by digging? There are too many slots, so Zhou Yan is too lazy to complain.

Anyway, let's send the things first.

If you look closely, the red soup is a one-hit killing flame meal, and the dish made of small round balls is a Segas eyeball? Isn't that braised chicken feet? This is the goblin's claw.

"New here! What about fish? Haven't you dug it up yet? ”

Zhou Yan, who was urged, hurriedly put the dishes on the guests' tables, and ran to the backyard before he even had time to confirm it, but he was dumbfounded again when he looked at the ground in the backyard made of solid stone slabs.

How do you dig this?

"Hey, I'm talking about a one-hit kill flame meal! How do you bring this thing? ”

"Isn't this a goblin's claw? What about the Segas eyeballs? ”

"Braised chicken feet? What about my goblin claws? ”

Then I heard the dissatisfaction expressed by such a great god.

"New here! What are you doing? ”

And the irritable roar of the shopkeeper.

……

"It's not my fault what you think, is it?" Zhou Yan complained to Li in his heart: "How do I know that the one-hit killing flame meal is ice cream?" ”

"......" However, there was only an embarrassing feeling in his mind, and it seemed that Li didn't know how to comfort Zhou Yan.

It's a pity that Zhou Yan made a mistake that made the store chaotic, so he was successfully fired.

The goblin's claws are actually a description, as the ball in that dish resembles a goblin's clenched fist, hence the name. As for the Cygas Eyeball, Saigas is a geostalker wurm known for its oversized head. But that dish was actually just an ordinary dish with a large ball of stuffed dough on a plate and a sauce on the outside.

Then there's digging for fish in the field. That kind of fish is called ground fish, if Zhou Yan looked carefully at that time, he would find that although the backyard was a stone pavement on the ground, there was a stone slab near the right corner that was paved differently from other places. If you use a tool that is set aside, you only need to knock it on the stone slab, and the fish will jump out. And it's a fish that really lives in the soil......

"Life is such a difficult thing." Zhou Yan sighed, lamenting that it was so difficult to live in society.

By this time it was completely dark. However, Zhou Yan didn't even earn a penny, he couldn't even afford to live in a stable, and he was very hungry.

"What should I do, Glass?" Ask in consciousness.

"I, I don't know ...... either," Li's reply was vague with a hint of affection.

"What a useless god."

"Hey, that's rude! Beware of being damned! Li looked a little angry, and it seemed that she didn't want to be looked down upon by Zhou Yan.

"Am I wrong? They can't give me either physical goods or information. Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and expressed his contempt.

"Yes, that's right......" It was obviously a god, but his tone began to soften, and he seemed very unconfident.

"Forget it, let's try again tomorrow." Zhou Yan thought like this and walked into a small alley.

He couldn't even live in a stable because he didn't have money, but he couldn't accept it if he was to sleep on the street like this, both physically and psychologically. So it's better to spend the night in a lesser-visited alley.

But I didn't go far when I heard a slight footstep, the footsteps were very soft, and it was conceivable that the other party should be a girl or a child.

Zhou Yan quietly looked around the corner and saw a girl dressed in black. The costume resembles an ancient costume, with jet-black hair tied up in a ponytail and thrown behind him.

A lonely girl? Is my fellow countryman?

A lot of thoughts popped up in my head, but in the end, what came out of my mind was, "Li, why don't we rob it?" ”

"Huh? Eh!! Li's voice sounded in her head in surprise.

"Don't be so surprised! It's going to make me look bad. ”

"Isn't it? And it's yours who want to do it, can't you say us? ”

"It's strange where you're looking, and you're not trying to stop me, aren't you?"

"Because...... If you can't be an adventurer, it's not good for me if you can't become powerful......" A very complicated emotion came to my mind. It seems that this god is also very entangled.

I'm sorry, but I'll definitely pay you back if I earn money in the future.

After silently hypnotizing himself in his heart, Zhou Yan quickly rushed towards the girl. The speed is very fast, because fourteen years have been spent under the strict training (tuning) training (teaching) of my mother.

Zhou Yan may have forgotten that he should run away immediately after the robbery is successful, so how can he not know the identity of the girl, how can he pay back the money? And he forgot more importantly, now his outfit is a T-shirt, which is so recognizable.

That's the sorrow of a novice looter.

In short, Zhou Yan rushed over, but what happened unexpectedly. Zhou Yan, who originally thought that he could easily rob, only felt that the world was turned upside down in an instant the next moment he was about to meet the other party. When he reacted, he was already pressed under the other party, and his hands were locked behind his back.

I couldn't see it because of the angle of view, but I did feel the touch of some sharp object from my neck.

"It's over, it's over...... "It's too late to regret it, Zhou Yan found that he was careless.

"Why did you attack me?" An indifferent voice came from his ears. It was very clear from the sound alone, but the indifference in the tone destroyed the sound.

At this moment, Zhou Yan's mind was racing: At that time, the blade of the weapon was only 0.01 cm away from my neck, and judging from the tone, this girl should not hesitate to kill me. However, I feel that I can successfully get out of this situation with my eloquence.

"Because I'm so poor that I can't even pay the entry fee to become an adventurer, I want to rob you, I'm really sorry, the little one won't dare next time, for my sake, please take my life."

The words of the plea for mercy were said in three seconds and clearly. Zhou Yan waited anxiously for the other party's reaction.

With a few clanging sounds, Zhou Yan saw two gold coins thrown down in front of his eyes.

"Don't do that next time." The clear and indifferent voice gradually faded away, and Zhou Yan, who finally came back to his senses, looked forward and could only see a back figure that was fading away in the dark.

"Glass, am I dreaming?" Zhou Yan asked in a daze.

"I'm sorry I can't pinch you." A certain god naturally complained.

Zhou Yan picked up the gold coin on the ground and continued to walk towards the alley. After Zhou Yan left, a figure wearing a cloak and a hood suddenly appeared on the roof of a building.

"If you find Meow, you can do it at any time." The girl who showed a slightly immature cheek from the hood said to herself, "Ryu, are we going to do it now?" ”

"Wait, it's better to be sure who this person has made a contract with." A voice sounded in the girl's head.

"Okay meow, I'll watch them well." The girl whispered, her golden eyes staring straight in the direction where Zhou Yan had disappeared.
