"Alas, there is a saying in the book that says: If you want to receive a crown, you must bear its weight." Edith said with a sigh.

Closing the book on the table and listening to Caroline's complaints, she didn't have the heart to continue reading.

"Also, compared to the third sister, my luck is very good, at least I still have my own little world." Caroline said, thinking of Edith in front of her, and added delicately: "I still have you and Dora, two good friends, it's good to have you~"

Listening to Caroline's coquettish voice, Edith got goosebumps, and after giving Caroline a blank look, she turned to look through the books on the table.

Caroline fell silent, flipping through the system panels, looking at the expenses and data on them, and thinking about the future of the Vault. With the current salary of the Vault staff, they have to pay more than 25,000 points per day, and some accessories and materials for daily maintenance equipment and weapons also cost a lot of money, and most of the things they can't produce in the Vault now, medicines, clothing, raw materials, these things they can't produce need to be bought.

And the income is very small.

Auction houses are also the main source of income for the shelter. Only a few of the things that the system warriors went out to explore and harvested were sought-after items in the auction house, such as gold bars and rare metals, and other rotten things like insect jaws, poison sacs, and animal skins could not be sold at all, and they were completely garbage, although they also had a certain value, but because of the small demand and large stock, it was naturally difficult to sell them.

In addition to the auction house, there is also a recycle bin in the system, and some of the equipment dropped in the field can be sold to the system in exchange for gold. The gold coins produced by the system are not gold coins minted from gold, and their molecular structure and material are closer to the black gold formed after equipment damage.

Gold can be traded with other Vaults in exchange for points. But gold is a scarce item, whether it is their level 1 vault or those level 7 or 8 super shelters, there is a shortage of gold coins, after all, there are few sources of gold coins, and they can only be obtained by killing monsters and completing the bounties issued by the system, so Caroline doesn't want to sell the few gold coins she has in her hand.

However, the current situation is that they do not have much money in their hands, let alone the integrated materials needed to purchase the Vault upgrade, and even the daily expenses of the Vault are difficult to maintain.

While browsing the auction house to check the current price of gold coins, Dora came in outside the door humming a little song.

"Caroline, tell you something." After taking off her felt hat, Dora shook the gold bangs on her forehead and sat on the edge of Caroline's bed.

"Huh? What's wrong? Caroline replied nonchalantly as she lay on the bed, tilting her head back.

"Ethan defeated Ashera today." Dora looked at Caroline excitedly.

Edith, who was reading a book at her desk, looked back in shock.

"Oh? Is that so? Caroline's surprise was perfunctory.

Dora thought that Caroline would be very surprised, but she was relieved to think that Caroline, after all, as the director of the Vault, had the power to check every corner of the Vault at any time.

That's right, Caroline had already learned about Ethan's victory over Athera, and even the whole battle was watched by her. She has a secret affection for Ethan, and from time to time she abuses her power to use the system panel to peek at Ethan's every move, and if she sees Caroline smirking into the air during work, she is probably peeking at Ethan.

Fortunately, this power of the administrator also has a boundary, and personal private spaces, such as the living room and bathroom, cannot be monitored, otherwise it is difficult to ensure that Caroline will not cross this line and do anything to spy on Ethan taking a bath.

"What about the last thing I discussed with you?" Dora sat upright, straight and colorful.

I still think ...... It's too risky. Caroline shook her head slightly and said.

"How is that possible?" Edith seems to be still trapped in the shock of the previous news and difficult to accept, she keeps comparing the training and fighting time of the two in her heart, Asella, as a senior, spends more than a hundred times more time on training than Ethan, and has more actual combat experience, how can she lose to Ethan, who has been coming for less than a month?

"But there's no way you can lock him up like that? He needs a bigger world so that he can grow and reach his full potential. Dora bitterly persuaded Caroline.

What Dora is talking about is like Sophia, the fourth system warrior, who is sent to other shelters to work and study. Because of Ethan's characteristics, he must have more contact with the strong and fight more with the strong in order to be able to truly exert his characteristics.

The reason why Dora strongly recommends Ethan to go to other shelters is the main reason why she expects Ethan to develop better, and Ethan's stubbornness makes it difficult for her to command. This time of getting along and the last manor incident made her feel exhausted, and she felt that something would happen sooner or later if she continued like this, so it was better to push this guy to another shelter.

"Ethan can defeat level 33 Athera at level 17, such abnormal combat power is not what a first-level vault should have, and if this happens, it will definitely be discovered by someone with a heart."

"And ......," Caroline said halfway through, pause, and then added, "Ethan has just come into this world, and there is no reason for him to endure so much, and in a strange environment, if he is ridiculed and ridiculed, he will probably not be able to hide his secrets." ”

Edith came back to her senses, listened to the conversation between the two, and said with a smile: "After all, it's Ethan, Caroline will be distressed." ”

"Okay, you Edith, you dare to make fun of me......" Seeing Edith's rare words to tease herself, Caroline rushed over and started to fight with Edith.

Dora, who didn't understand the inside story, tilted her head with a puzzled expression. Ethan's talent can be described as a rare encounter, no matter which shelter it is placed in, it is regarded as a treasure, isn't it normal for Caroline to feel sorry for Ethan?
