Chapter 547: Stealing a Living
When the two maids heard the footsteps, they all raised their heads and couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw the "madman" during the day.
Chen Lin was embarrassed and Luo Na said, "Pretty young lady, hello, I have something to do with your boss, is he there?" ”
Lorna looked at him twice, then shouted loudly, "Boss, a gentleman is looking for you." ”
"Pedal, pedal." A rush of footsteps rang out on the wooden staircase behind the counter, and then Syn's hoarse but breathless voice came down, "It's here, it's there at once." ”
It was indeed immediate, and in less than five seconds, he had already appeared in front of Chen Lin, but he was out of breath, after all, he was old, and his physical strength was not as good as before, and this kind of fierce running was unbearable.
I didn't expect the boss to treat the guests so warmly and didn't delay the time at all, Chen Lin was very upset, he just came to ask for something to eat.
As soon as Si En saw that it was Chen Lin, the courtesy on his face immediately retreated a lot, and he said lightly, "Sir, may I ask you what's the matter?" ”
It was really embarrassing to ask for food in front of two beauties, Chen Lin couldn't help but be embarrassed and said, "Boss, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Ern was puzzled, "Borrow a step to speak?" ”
Chen Lin remembered that this sentence was a secret thing in his own world, and it was not appropriate for too many people to know, and the people here couldn't understand it, so he said in a different way, "I have something I want to talk to you about alone, I don't know, can I?" ”
Sien pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, please come with me." ”
He took Chen Lin to the living room on the second floor, the space is not very large, but it is very comfortable, the all-wood decoration makes people feel as if they have returned to nature, the ground is covered with pale yellow blankets, a few pots of emerald green next to the window, and the plants with milky white fruits exude a fresh and pleasant taste, Chen Lin said in his heart that the old guy really knows how to enjoy.
Ann closed the door and said, "There's no one else here, you can talk as you like." ”
Chen Lin wanted to speak again and again, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I have a small request, I wonder if you can give me some food?" "It's just a trivial matter, because of the problem of face, now it's as exaggerated as the underground party's joint, Chen Lin feels very embarrassed.
However, after hearing this, Sien's face suddenly became solemn, his old brows furrowed deeply, and he stood up and walked around the living room, as if he was making a decision about something very important. After a long while, he sat down with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Sir, I would love to help you, but you don't have a professional badge, which is not in accordance with the regulations of the consumer union." ”
Chen Lin said in his heart that this is really terrible without that damn career badge, just like in his own world, you can't stay in a regular hotel without an ID card, the difference is that you need that kind of thing even to eat in the world of kings.
Chen Lin quickly made up a lie: "I came from a very remote village, which is far away from the city, so I can't handle it for the time being." But can you compromise that, to be honest, I've been hungry for almost a day. At this moment, his stomach "growled" in a very angry way, proving that what his master said was true.
Sean was skeptical, "Really?" But at your age, you should already have a career badge. ”
Chen Lin said, "Our small village is isolated from the world, so there are many things I don't know, including handling badges. ”
Ann let out an "oh" and said, "Strange, could it be that the magic communication system has been broken?" ”
Although Chen Lin couldn't hear what he said about the magic communication system, listening to his tone, it must have been the reason why a certain village lost contact with other places, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, that's it, it's been damaged for many years, and there are few people in our village, and no one has a little more knowledge, so that's why it's like this." ”
Sien's suspicions were dispelled, but he still looked very embarrassed, and after a long while, he rubbed his hands together and said, "Sir, I can give you food, but you have to promise that you must not tell anyone else about this." ”
Chen Lin was overjoyed and said gratefully, "Thank you, your great kindness, I will never forget it." ”
Sengwu was not at ease, "Please swear in the name of Midilore, the god of honesty, so that I can fully believe it." ”
Chen Lin immediately raised his right hand and said, "The God of Honesty Midilore is above, I swear that I will never tell others about tonight's events, otherwise I will receive endless punishment!" Chen Lin doesn't understand what the oath form of the Kamikaze Continent is, but the language style here is a bit similar to the Western world, and he has also seen a lot of movies, so it's no problem to fool a few words.
Si En seemed to be very satisfied, suddenly remembered something, and said to Chen Lin, "Sir, I don't know how to call you." He meant to ask Chen Lin's name.
Chen Lin thought for a moment and said, "My name is Luo Di." "Because his original name was so strange compared to others, he made one up on the fly.
"Okay, Mr. Roddy, please come with me."
Lorna and another waitress had finished cleaning and were waiting for Chen Lin to close the door of the shop. Sien asked Chen Lin to wait behind the counter for a while, and then he walked out of the store, carefully looked around for a while, didn't find anyone, turned back to the two maids and said, "Lisa, close the door immediately!" ”
Lisa was the bewitching maid with a smooth tail on her hips, and she said in surprise, "Then this gentleman ......"
Sean interrupted her, "Hurry up, don't worry about so much. ”
Lisa didn't ask much in interest, she spat out a string of strange spells, and then the big stone door on the top of the store, which was tens of centimeters thick and weighed at least a thousand pounds, slowly fell automatically.
Chen Lin watched all this behind the counter in surprise, and he couldn't imagine that a little maid was so simple.
After the stone gate was completely falling, Sien called Chen Lin out, and then said to Luo Na beside him, "Go and get some barbecue and Bi Yeling for this gentleman." ”
Lorna didn't ask too much and went straight to the back of the counter to pick up something.
Sien said to Chen Lin, "Lorna and Lisa are both from the store, and I treat them as if they were my daughters. The implication of this is that they are not outsiders, and they don't have to worry about what happened tonight.
After a while, she brought a few large pieces of barbecued meat, and a small bottle of fragrant green liquid, which was the same as the people Chen Lin saw in the store today, which should be the "Bi Yeling" that Sien said.
Chen Lin couldn't help but swallow his saliva heavily, and said, "This, this ......"
Sien saw what he was thinking, and smiled, "Mr. Roddy, you can use it, we have already eaten it." ”
Chen Linru was ordered by the Holy Order: "Then I'm not welcome." He picked up a large piece of barbecue with his hand, like a tiger and a wolf, and for the first time he realized that the taste of hunger was so unbearable. Hunger aside, the meat grilled by Spearn is really good, with a crispy crust and a tender inner layer of shredded meat that brings a good taste. After a few pieces of barbecue meat, Chen Lin's throat was a little dry, so he picked up the Bi Yeling that Lorna had poured for him and took a big sip.
A slightly cool, fragrant liquid flowed down the throat and rushed straight to the stomach, and the feeling of comfort quickly spread throughout the body, and every cell was crying out with pleasure.
"Good!" Chen Lin couldn't help but exclaim. As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt that he was rude, and even more embarrassed was Sern, Lorna and Lisa both looked at him with strange eyes.
Chen Lin scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, but this Bi Yeling is really delicious." ”
Sien smiled, "That's my pleasure. "For the owner of the bar, it was a face-saving thing for the food to be praised by the guests.
Lisa smirked, "He's eating faster than Percy." ”
When Lorna heard this, she couldn't help but hide her mouth and laugh when she saw Chen Lin's mouth full of shiny foam.
"Don't be rude to Mr. Roddy!" However, there was also an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously agreeing with Lisa's words.
Chen Lin had no choice but to laugh twice to hide his embarrassment, but in this way, the distance between him and a few people was much closer.
While eating, Chen Lin pretended to be an ignorant boy who was just starting out, asked Sien for advice, and finally had the most preliminary understanding of this strange other world.
The realm of kings is not a complete land, but also includes the ocean, the sky, to put it simply, it is the collective name of the entire other world, just like the people of Chen Lin's world would call the place where they live "earth".
There are many kinds of intelligent creatures distributed on the continent, such as humans, orcs, elves, barbarians, demons, dwarves, and Shura...... Collectively referred to as "people", their appearance, physique, character, wisdom, specialties and other characteristics are different, such as barbarians are the strongest of all races, born with divine power, can lift a thousand catties, orcs are half-human and half-beast creatures, such as Chen Lin saw Bo Xi before, is one of them, their intelligence is lower than other races, but it is also an indispensable part of the continent, elves usually have strong magic sensing and application ability, more professional magicians, demon clans belong to high-level intelligent beasts, Can transform into a human being......
Where there are people, countries and classes are indispensable, and there are large and small countries in the realm of kings, such as the country where Chen Lin is located, located in the country of black sand, which is a large country with a population composed mainly of human races, as well as the kingdom of Babeca in the north, the city of wild sand in the desert of death, and the island country of Akalin in the sea of Darane......
The next level of the country is the city, and the city can be divided into a fourth-level city, a third-level city, a second-level city, a first-class city, and a super city, the fourth-level city is the smallest, and the super city is the largest. The smaller unit under the city is the town, which is organized into a small town, a medium town, and a large town, and the division method is also the area, and the smallest unit is naturally the village, and the village has no hierarchy.
The most basic conditions for human survival are food, clothing, and housing, and among them, food is the mainstay, and the people take food as the sky, without food, people cannot survive. People die for money, birds die for food, Chen Lin is in the human society, money is the goal that most people chase for life, but money is just an extension of food. But the people on the kamikaze continent don't need to worry too much about food at all, because the crops produce quickly, and if they are under the influence of the planter's magic, they are more than ten times faster than the earth, and many food animals grow about eight times faster than the earth.
It seems that there is no shortage of material resources, the most beautiful environment for human life, everything seems so perfect - if it were not for the annual Warcraft Riot of the Three Divine Winds. In addition to the people living in towns and villages, there are countless magical beasts in the Kamikaze Continent, living in uninhabited wilderness, forests, high mountains, mountains, oceans, lakes and other places, most of them are ferocious and extremely dangerous, fortunately, they will not easily invade towns and other human settlements under normal circumstances.
Since there is a general situation, then special circumstances also exist, a large-scale Warcraft riot will break out on the mainland every three years, for a year, Warcraft is not only more ferocious and powerful. And there will be mutated high-intelligence guys, become the leader of them, organize other Warcraft that are scattered in the sand on weekdays, and organize them into separate camps, and systematically invade human settlements that usually do not easily cross the border, called "Warcraft Siege", a term that makes everyone tremble when they hear it.
The year-long Warcraft Riot was the most turbulent and dangerous period in the continent, everyone was at risk, and no one dared to guarantee that they would survive the terrible Warcraft Riot. Therefore, before the advent of the Warcraft mutation, all people have to do is to keep making themselves stronger, and keep being stronger, in order to increase their chances of survival.
Almost everyone on the continent has innate special abilities, such as farmers can cast spells to speed up the speed of crop fruiting, and according to their different abilities, a variety of professions have been derived, which can be roughly divided into four categories: combat occupations, auxiliary occupations, life occupations and special occupations. Career opportunities vary from person to person, strong people are suitable for warriors, people with strong mental strength and keen sense of the elements are best suited to become mages, and people with a wide range of focus and vision, archers are the best choice......
Combat professionals also have a higher social status in society, they can receive a very substantial monthly stipend, they can freely move around, and even make money by selling the Warcraft crystal nuclei they have hit. Auxiliary occupations are in the middle, and life occupations are the lowest of the four professions, if they can, no one will want to choose, such as the winemaker Ann's bar, which seems to be very profitable and popular, but in fact it can't make much profit at all, and its price is determined by the consumer guild, and the selling price can only be a little higher than the purchase price of raw materials, and you have to pay taxes, employee wages, and after deducting the east and west, the profit is pitiful. As the owner of a shop, Sien worked from morning to night, until the end of the night, and he could earn less gold than the allowance that a lowly-ranking warrior or mage would receive. The situation of special occupations is more complex, and the social status varies from high to low.
However, there are not many people who can take up combat occupations, only a small part, and the quality of the vast majority of people of each race is very ordinary, and it is difficult to engage in any kind of combat occupation, so they have to retreat to the next best thing and engage in life occupations, such as planters, shepherds, winemakers, etc., which are equivalent to ordinary people. However, they are not as simple as their counterparts on Earth, such as farming, and unlike Earth's farmers, they can use magic to speed up the growth of crops
Everyone on the mainland will apply for a corresponding professional badge according to their different qualities after they become adults, and perform their own duties. It is very shameful for people who do not have a profession, they are inferior to the profession of life, they are considered parasites of society. Therefore, the fate of those poor people who are born with ridiculously poor qualities, who are unable to engage in any profession at all, and who have no strong support, is extremely miserable. Although the food on the mainland is abundant, they can only get a little bit of what they can fill their stomachs every day by handing out, and they live in the eyes of the people, and the unlucky ones starve to death. If Chen Lin hadn't lied and said that he was in a remote mountain village and couldn't apply for a career badge, it is estimated that Sien would have blown him away directly. It was also quite troublesome to ask Horn for some food, because if the matter was known to others, Horn would also be severely punished.
In addition, there are master-servant contracts, loyalty bonds, pet recognition ceremonies, and countless other strange spell rules in the other world. There are so many things that are difficult to explain, Chen Lin has no choice at all, what he needs to do is not to be surprised, but how to learn to accept. Each different parallel space is likely to have its own basic laws, such as Chen Lin's real world, Newton's laws of mechanics are one of the basic laws that all matter must follow. If Chen Lin talked about Newton's laws of mechanics to people on the mainland, it is estimated that they would not be able to accept it, and even laughed off their big teeth.
A big problem is in front of Chen Lin, he is a person from another world, will he have the ability they say?
"Bi, Bi, Bi......" At this time, a siren sounded in the store, and a small red light on the top of the stone door kept flashing
En and the others' faces changed drastically, and Lorna and Lisa were very panicked. After all, Jiang is old and spicy, and Ann calmly said, "It doesn't matter, Lorna, pack up your things immediately, Lisa, you go open the door, by the way, Mr. Roddy, please go upstairs for the time being, don't come down until I call you." Then he shouted with a smile on his face, "Come, guest, come at once." "The fact that people who come to disturb in the middle of the night have to be so politely entertained, which shows that the status of those who are engaged in life and profession in society is indeed very low.
Chen Lin hurriedly went upstairs, feeling uneasy in his heart, didn't he check it? Don't bother Sien.
Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh from downstairs, and then an old but neutral man said, "Old man Sien, it's been a long time, are you okay?" ”
Ann scolded, "I thought it was? It turned out to be you old ghost! The always polite Sien spoke to others in this tone, which showed that the person who came was his acquaintance.
"Mr. Morrian, why didn't you say hello before you came? By the way, did you bring us a gift this time? Lisa said coquettishly, it seems that she also has a good relationship with that Morion. This time" shows that Morion is a regular customer of the bar.
"Yes, of course, how could I possibly forget our beautiful Miss Lisa, you see, what is this?"
Lisa's voice suddenly increased in surprise, "Wow, Bidamon, Mr. Morion, is this for me?" ”
