Chapter 5 The Question of Survival

This is Chen An's first night in another world, and when the initial confusion gradually no longer occupies the main body of thinking, all kinds of other emotions instantly return to the normal trajectory of thinking.

Lying on the cold floor, his eyes looking at the gray roof in the dark, Chen An's heart became sentimental for a while.

He had no idea why he had traveled through another world for no reason, and at the same time he didn't want to accept this absurd reality, he missed home, his father and mother, his family and friends, his warm bed...... If his parents found out that they were gone, they would be heartbroken, right? Thinking of this picture, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

There were many things he couldn't understand, such as why he suddenly learned the language of another world, thinking of this, he remembered that his head had throbbed violently after talking to Alex, and when the pain dissipated, he somehow learned the other person's language.

Could it be—

He reached out to his forehead, and a bold assumption came to his mind, for he thought of the gazebo accidentally being hit in the head by a meteor fragment.

Could it be that all the changes come from the fragments of the meteor that hit you?

In the absence of conclusive evidence, he only had this far-fetched guess in his mind.

As the saying goes, if you come here, you will be safe, Alex can't always take him in, and he can't be cheeky and rely on others, so survival has become his primary concern, but what can he do as a liberal arts student in another world? The most important thing is that he doesn't even know the words of the other world, and if he wants to give full play to the strengths of a liberal arts student, he can't do it, but fortunately, he has taken a course in business administration in college, and he knows a little about the relevant knowledge, but the practical application is completely on paper.

He began to make his next survival plan, the first step was to find a job to support himself, and the second was to find his place in the process of slowly learning about the world. In terms of work, he can try to ask Alex, a local, to find it, and understanding this world requires systematic learning and cognition, the best way is to find a teacher, but according to the world similar to the Middle Ages in front of him, knowledge is often in the hands of a few people, even if he wants to learn, it costs a lot of money, which undoubtedly cuts off Chen An's thoughts, after all, he is now a penniless poor bastard.

As for the awakening ritual that Alex longed for, it was not in Chen An's consideration at all, and as a modern person with a materialistic worldview, it was ridiculous to think about it, and he didn't even plan to approach the temple of any related gods. His own crossing is a big problem, it is hard to guarantee that the so-called gods will see the problem, if he is treated like a guinea pig in the end, it is really better to live than to die, for the sake of safety, for the sake of life, you must stay away from the gods!

......

At dawn in the morning, Chen An, who had just arrived, couldn't help but be a little nervous, so after hearing Alex's movement getting up, Chen An immediately woke up from his sleep.

"Are you awake too, are you still sleeping comfortably at night?" Alex, who came out of the bedroom, stretched his waist, and asked casually when he saw Chen An, who was also awake on the floor.

"It's okay, but I feel a little sore. Chen An said while holding his drowsy head.

"I'm sorry, after all, the bed at home can only sleep one person......" Alex said apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm actually taking the liberty of bothering you. Chen An waved his hand. "Alex, I have a reluctant request and would like you to help. ”

"What's the matter?" Alex asked as he walked over to the tank and scooped a spoonful of water as he sipped.

"Do you know where there is a place to recruit people here in Bella Oka?" Chen An said embarrassedly.

"Yes, yes, but the question is, what will you do?" Alex looked at Chen An with wide eyes.

"I want to think about it...... Do you settle accounts?" Chen An racked his brains and thought for a while.

"You're going to settle the score?!" Alex said in a surprised tone.

"Isn't it strange to know how to settle accounts?" Chen An wondered.

"That's a settling account?!This is the knowledge that only a few people know, and those who learn to settle accounts are either well-educated, either from the temple of the goddess of commerce, or an apprentice who has become an apprentice in the chamber of commerce, I didn't expect you to be able to settle accounts?" Alex said with an exaggerated expression.

"This ...... It doesn't seem like there's anything to be proud of, right?" Chen An said modestly, in their country, all students who have received nine years of compulsory education know more or less the simple principles of accounting, and those who are more advanced may have to systematically learn the knowledge of the accounting profession, but it is more than enough to deal with the accounting in the Middle Ages.

However, he must first face one of the biggest problems, how to understand the words and numbers of this world, otherwise he will be blind even if he is proficient in accounting knowledge.

"Then I'll introduce you to the work of accounting, can you teach me the knowledge of accounting?" Alex said expectantly.

"Of course it's fine, but...... Alex, do you know how to read, especially numbers!" Chen An said.

"Somewhat's wrong?" Alex wondered.

"Then please quickly teach me the simple numbers you know......" Chen An said eagerly.

“...... Do you really know how to settle accounts? You really didn't lie to me, did you?" Alex was immediately stunned.

"No, no, don't worry, it's just that I lost my memory for a while and forgot how to write numbers......

When Alex half-believed and taught Chen An to recognize some simple numbers, the familiar pain in his head hit again, Chen An covered his forehead and squatted down in pain, trying his best to control his pain and exhale to scare Alex, but unfortunately Alex was still scared.

"You...... Why are you like this? It can't be that you're really sick, right?" Alex suddenly became at a loss when he saw Chen An's strange appearance.

"It's okay, I'm fine, just take a break. Chen An gritted his teeth and forcibly squeezed out an ugly smile at Alex.

The pain came and went quickly, and after a while, Chen An, who was drenched in cold sweat, finally returned to his normal look, he shook his heavy head, feeling that there was something inexplicably more in his head, and he only understood what was going on after he saw Alex writing words and numbers on the ground with stones.

He somehow learned the words of this world.

"Alright, let's go out and find a job. Chen An took a deep breath and smiled at the frightened Alex.

"This ...... Are you alright?" Alex said worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay, just get used to it. Chen An said calmly.

I'm not used to it!

Alex shouted in his heart, but said on his lips. "Don't you need me to teach you how to read?"

"No, I've already remembered......"

"Oh...... Huh?!"

You really weren't kidding me?
