In London, aside from luxury shopping, in addition to high rents, perhaps the most impressive thing about London in terms of expenses for people who have lived there is,

Transportation is expensive.

As a hub center in the UK, London's transportation is very developed, generally no more than 400 meters in the city center, there will be a subway or bus station, but it is extremely convenient at the same time, and has a very significant feature.

In one word, expensive.

The most representative subway in London has very complex billing methods and ticket types, such as annual passes, monthly passes, day passes, single tickets, peak tickets, off-peak tickets, etc.

Ah, but the common denominator is the same,

Expensive... It's expensive (Khan)...

If you need to take the tube to London one day, be sure to learn more about the rules to avoid high expenses, prepare a tourist oyster card, buy a discount card such as a seven-day travel ticket...

"But even if you have a card, it's nearly 3 pounds, and some of them are at the original price during peak hours, and the London Underground is all antiques without air conditioning, so I think about the 1 pound 2 pound bus has become cute~"

Looking at Tang Bing, who had a silly white smile in front of him as if he had seen heaven, and who was estimated to be delirious in heartache, Fang Wandering, who basically relied on transportation for rent, thought about this expense, and swallowed his saliva slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched,

Thinking with a slight embarrassment, the subway is so expensive without air conditioning, worthy of the rich people living in London in developed countries...

However, what Fang didn't know was that even the locals of London were very concerned about the fares of their own city.

It was so painful that I couldn't breathe.

There has even been news that rich people with high annual salaries have evaded tickets...

So you must not think that the price is the same as the supermarket, they have a high income, so this price can be affordable, as the second most expensive transportation in Europe, London, a year of transportation expenses can easily do a few thousand pounds, that is not a waste of fame.

What the? You say taxis in London?

Oh, for the sake of your heart I suggest you don't know well...

"Such a high overhead..."

As an ordinary family with little money, he probably calculated the cost of studying abroad, knowing that this must not be all the problems that will be encountered in life, Fang Ran, who is quite empathetic to Tang Bing, looked at her and sighed silently:

"Senior sister, it's not easy for you to be an exchange student..."

"Otherwise, it's so easy to achieve the goal, what I can do is to study hard and save some money for my family, as long as it has something to do with manual services in London, it is very expensive, just like I just said about SPA, sauna tickets senior, do you know how many pounds it costs..."

Tang Bing rolled her eyes speechlessly, and then as if she could finally find someone to complain, even if she was sunny and cheerful, always full of cheerful vitality, she couldn't help but puff out one cheek and complain to Fang Ran:

"It is very difficult for girls to go out to study alone, and they have to work hard to live and pay attention to safety, after all, foreign security is not as good as our China, even if it is London, not every district is as safe as the city center."

Speaking of this, Tang Bing was speechless and rolled his eyes and complained:

"Senior, do you know that when you first came, you went to the seniors to learn from the scriptures, and when you heard something, you should never go to Brixton or something like that at night,"

"Even if you go, you have to trot all the way in a place where there is light, and there is even the unspoken rule that twenty pounds is an acceptable price for both sides, I was so scared when I heard it..."

"Wait!!"

A break interrupted Tang Bing's broken thoughts, startled her cute eyes widened, and she looked at Fang Ran in a daze, as if she had noticed something, Hua Dian's tough painting style.

"Senior sister, what did you just say?"

"I was scared to death when I heard it."

"No, last sentence."

"Twenty pounds is a price that is acceptable to both parties..."

"Not that."

"Even if you go, you have to go all the way where there is light..."

"One more sentence above."

"Definitely don't go to Brixton at night..."

Fang Ran: "......"

emmm....

Fang Ran's brain went through a quick thought.

Then Tang Bing, who was stunned by his question, saw Fang Ran suddenly looking at him with a honey smile on his face, and the topic turned 180°.

"Senior sister, how many pounds does the spa and massage ticket cost you said before..."

Night

Brixton.

As a multi-ethnic community in South London, a large part of the population here is of black Caribbean descent, and the apartments are affordable, multicultural, vibrant, and vibrant.

The crime rate is quite high, the streets are dirty, and there are many homeless people living around the station, and you can see people clash for a long time.

Next to the dimly lit remote block, near the bar where rough drunks raise their glasses, a figure walks slowly in a place where there is no light without hurrying.

It quickly attracted the attention of two men.

Almost tacitly glancing at each other, revealing a smile mixed with some kind of ugliness, the two of them followed briskly, ready to grab each other's shoulders with another extra quick tonight, and lowered their voices with a malicious low smile to go straight to the point.

"Hey! Brat! Stop it! Hand over the money! ”

Then in the next second when the other party slowly turned around, he suddenly vaguely saw the pitch-black alley behind him, piled up with unconscious men like garbage....

Underneath the hood was an eerie smile in the night, speaking in a language they didn't understand.

"The fourth, finally not a bum."

...

...

The next day, the sun was shining.

"Senior, is it my delusion..."

In the supermarket cargo area, looking at Tang Bing, who was easily holding three large boxes and putting them on them, looked confused:

"I always feel like you're in an inexplicably good mood after changing your clothes today...?"

casually put three boxes of goods that I don't know what to in the cargo area, and by the way, I helped Tang Bing unload the cart and change into a new pair of jeans, shirts and coats, Fang Ran, who felt that the background was full of flowers, looked at Tang Bing with a smile and replied:

"Huh? No, my sister, your delusion. ”

The corners of Tang Bing's mouth twitched and stared at him silently.

Senior, your mouth is almost to the root of your ears, who are you fooling here?

"Okay, we're done, let's go back~"

Clapping his hands, Fang Ran walked towards the cashier with a honey look on his face, so that Tang Bing, who was following him, no longer knew what medicine he, a strange senior, was taking today.

However, in fact, it was actually according to Tang Bing's 'guidance' and 'inspiration' last night, it took several hours to finally find Fang Ran in Brixton, looking at the surrounding streets from time to time with drunks and dimly lit messy places in many places.

It smells of making a fortune.

Then Fang Ran suddenly realized from Tang Bing's words!

If he wants to get a financial source from those habitual criminals who are not good people, he doesn't actually have to climb over the roof wall to fight for righteousness, he can...

Phishing law enforcement.

Then one night down the 'Chocolate Box Masked Man' suddenly realized that compared to drinking the northwest wind on the roof of the wall, the efficiency of fishing law enforcement is simply so high that it breaks through the sky.

Even if there are some homeless people who are poor, the final 'money drop' is equivalent to working nearly 30 hours in a supermarket...

emmm (Quick Thinking)....

Farewell, my immature chivalrous heart (tearful and smiling farewell).

"Sister..."

"What?"

"The massage and shopping are really good, thank you."

"Huh-it's disgusting, senior, did you take the wrong medicine today?!"

Seeing Fang Ran say this sentence with a sassy smile on his face, Tang Bing's whole person suddenly felt a chill, wondering if he had listened to his words yesterday and went to the bathhouse in London South to find a big health care condition, and then opened the door of the new century.

Although it is not far from the truth...

During the day today, I finally found a high-end bathing and massage center that Tang Bing told him with his mobile phone yesterday, Fang Ran, who came to this kind of place alone for the first time in his life, took a comfortable bath and was massaged by a mature foreign sister.

I almost immersed myself in the pleasures of capitalism.

Whether it was the expensive tickets, or the experience of buying anything on Oxford Street, Fang Ran once again realized,

It's nice to be rich (sigh from the bottom of my heart).

Side, instantaneous, matter, and nature.

"Ah, senior, I'm going to get the things that Mrs. Isis asked me to put on the table, I'll ask you to watch it for a while~"

"yes, got it."

On the sixth day of wandering, Fang Ran, who finally breathed a sigh of relief in new clothes and hot water, bit the edge of the paper cup and waved her hand as she was very accustomed to.

It's just that Fang Ran looked at the current situation of his dignified participants actually working in a supermarket, and thought about the 'income' left over with a lot of extraordinary means last night, even if he spent a lot today,

For the 10 pounds that I got by luck after all the hard work on the first day, I covered my face with a slight residual thought, and thought of a cliché often said by my high school math teacher.

Methods are really important...

If you ask the school sister directly the next day, won't you have to put this effort on hold?

Speechless, he thought for a moment, but glanced at the energetic figure of the red Donald Duck coat jumping through the commodity shelves.

With his arm propped up on the cash register and dragging the side of his cheek, Fang Ran picked up the water cup and smiled helplessly.

Well, it wouldn't be nice to have a few more days...

It's just that

The moment I put down the paper cup and looked at the water inside, I thought back to the 'bad guy' who was so vigilant and uneasy last night, and now even if I don't have the ability, I'm just a prey, and I don't remember who said it.

If fear cannot be defeated, it becomes fear itself.

Through the reflection of the water surface in the cup, Fang Ran seemed to see the really powerful 'child'...

Unlike the journey to the North Pole, where he lost the ability to turn back into a mortal and was lost in the wandering of a foreign London, this time the real-life world gave Fang Ran a different kind of...

"Excuse me, I want to check out."

When his thoughts drifted halfway away, a customer in front of him spoke calmly, making Fang Ran hurriedly come back to his senses and put on a polite smile, slightly strange why the capable man in a suit in front of him came to the supermarket.

Hearing his deep voice leaning down slightly, Fang Ran's eyes were stunned.

"Madame.... Let me pick you up. ”

Then slowly and quietly lowered...
