Chapter 0271: Uncle, You're a Good Person
Su Mo took out some meat, which may be the most expensive luxury for the poor, but the player is different, even the poorest player will carry some in his backpack.
After all, players rely on killing monsters in the wild to level up, and beast-like monsters can collect meat pieces.
Different foods correspond to different stats, some restore health, some restore magic, some restore stamina, and some can even increase attributes for a short time.
The ones Su Mo took out can increase their attributes in a short time, and I don't know if they are useful to ordinary aborigines, but at least it is okay to increase some nutrition.
As the pieces of meat tumbled in the boiling water in the pot, the hut soon began to smell meaty.
"Is your sister well?" Su Mo looked at this sensible little girl who was taking care of her younger brother and slowly eating meat, and regretted that she didn't come over in time to take a look.
"Alright, sir, the priest's magic is very useful, and she's already gone to work." Ida said.
"You can go to school, or learn some real craft, here are some coins, it should be enough for you to live for a while, remember to hide them, don't take them out." After thinking for a while, Su Mo took out a few gold coins—not a few, of course, but hundreds of silver coins.
"Uncle, we can't always ask for your money, it's not right, we can't repay you." Ada shook her head.
"I don't need anything in return, just be me doing good deeds, anyone needs the salvation of the soul, especially those who do immoral things all day long, helping you can make me peaceful, you don't need to feel that I owe me anything, I'm not a good person." Su Mo smiled self-deprecatingly.
People who walk between life and death cannot wash away the blood on their hands.
He has a good mentality, he doesn't often have nightmares, but it's not true that he doesn't have nightmares, many times he will open his eyes wide in the middle of the night, and what appears in front of him is a strange and familiar face, which is not without old people, women, and children.
Ida seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but after all, she still accepted the gold coin, and secretly decided in her heart that she would repay this uncle well when she grew up.
"Ada, do you have a good relationship with your neighbors?" Su Mo asked.
"Everybody's having a hard time." The little girl didn't want to speak ill of the neighbors, but expressed her meaning euphemistically, since the neighbors were not doing well, it was inevitable that they would take advantage of them.
"Then why are they so eager to help catch the thieves?" I couldn't figure it out, Su Mo was very curious.
"Oh, this one, because according to federal law, if you catch a thief and send it to the sheriff's office, the sheriff's office will give you a reward of seven silver coins." Ida said.
"Seven silver coins, tsk, that's a lot of money, why don't they put on a good show of their own and make money for these seven silver coins?"
The little girl looked surprised, obviously she didn't expect it to be like this.
But after thinking about it for a while, she began to shake her head and said: "This is not okay, because the person who is caught stealing needs to pay a lot of fines, and if he can't pay it, he will be imprisoned, and the judge will arrange work for him to earn enough ransom before he is released......
"It's also good that people who can't find a job can find a job to support themselves."
"Uncle, this is also impossible, not all people can pay the ransom by working, and more are sold to the owners of the manors in the south, where many coolies die every day."
"Well, I'm a little naïve." Su Mo shrugged, still a little speechless about the social background in the game.
Aristocracy, religion, the Industrial Revolution, and even serfs.
What a mess.
"Nobody wants to go to the federal penitentiary, and it's said that there are all kinds of criminals there, but it's so bad that a lot of people go in and never come out."
"Federal prison, I don't have any intention of going in."
Su Mo simply asked the little girl about Tallinn, the little girl was sensible earlier, and she often went to sell newspapers, even if she couldn't read it, at least she could hear something.
After a while, it's time to leave.
"Take care." Su Mo picked up the hat on the table and put it on, lifted the brim, and walked out of the poor hut.
"Uncle, I think you're a good person!"
Su Mo's footsteps moved without stopping, gradually moving away, and he didn't know if he heard what the little girl said.
Max was at home, but there were other people in his house.
A man, a boy, it seems to be father and son, they are here to repair shoes, Max is very serious haggling with the other party, for a few copper coins not an inch.
"If you become a servant and go to a nobleman's house, you can steal anything, you can have no worries about food and clothing, and then you don't have to worry about this little copper coin." looks like a gentleman's visitor, but he reveals Max's secret in one word.
But Max didn't have a surprised expression at all, obviously he knew from the beginning that this middle-aged gentleman who came in was Su Mo Cheng.
"That's not my life, Envoy, I'm not a thief, I'm a shoemaker."
"A reluctant shoemaker, it's a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Max." Su Mo took off the hat on his head and changed back to his own appearance.
"Your Excellency, if nothing happens, I really can't say such a polite thing as I am glad to meet you." Max, the shoemaker, sighed, he didn't like dealing with people like Su Mo, it would make him very passive.
"Don't be so repulsive to people thousands of miles away, anyway, why are you a shoemaker?"
"You know, when a lot of people meet, they take off their hats to show their respect, or when they go to someone's house, they put down their canes and hats, so it's hard for you to continue to be deformed, that's why I don't choose hats, but shoes for deformation."
"Well, you have a point, Mr. Max, and I'm here to continue to ask you about Transfiguration."
"I've taught you that without reservation, but if you have any questions, I won't refuse to answer them." The little shoemaker didn't cherish himself, and he gave answers to any questions Su Mo asked one by one, which made Su Mo gain a lot, and even his slow transformation skill bar increased a lot.
It seems that upgrading skills does not only rely on continuous practice, so listening to the master's explanation has a similar effect, but I don't know if other combat skills are also like this.
If this was the case, Su Mo could have bought some gifts and visited the homes of those skill trainers.
"One more question, Max, I'd love to know, are there many people like you in this world?" Su Mo asked another purpose for his visit this time.
