Chapter 3: Part-time Work and Cultivation

The children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age, and Han Feng, who is not from a good family, has been a very sensible child since he was a child! Although he never said it, he was very concerned about his parents and always tried every means to reduce the burden on his parents.

Before he went to school, he didn't know how to do magic and had to do chores at home so that his parents could come home with ease. However, since learning magic, Han Feng began to use his spare time to work in some shops to earn money to support his family.

Of course, Han Feng wouldn't waste time cultivating magic in order to make money. Because he understands that only magic can truly change his fate. If you waste your cultivation time for such a small amount of money, you are simply putting the cart before the horse. Therefore, he always chooses some jobs that will help him cultivate magic, and it is best to allow him to practice magic while making money. Just like now, Han Feng is working as a helper in a restaurant, specializing in using ice magic to make cold drinks or other food.

After leaving the school gate, Han Feng rushed towards his place of work. I want to take advantage of the fact that it's still early today and run over directly. The cold drink shop where Han Feng works is not too far from the school, and it is only about an hour's walk. If Han Feng ran over, it would only take about twenty or thirty minutes, and he could catch up with the time to go to work.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it was the most deserted time for the hotel. Most of them are still at work, and there aren't many customers at all. When Han Feng pushed the door and came in, there was not even a single customer in the store except for the owner and the hostess. The owner of the hotel was a chubby middle-aged man, dressed in colorful clothes, and looked very funny. Because there were no customers, the boss and several hosts were lying on the table and drowsy.

Hearing someone coming in, everyone woke up instantly. The boss subconsciously raised his head to look at the door, and after seeing that it was Han Feng who came in, he immediately lay on the cash register listlessly: "It turned out to be you! Why is it so early today?"

"School ended early today. That's right, boss. It's almost time. After speaking, Han Feng said hello to a few hosts and walked straight to the kitchen.

After arriving at the kitchen, looking at the several large barrels of materials on the ground, Han Feng couldn't help but curse secretly: "This damn profiteer will really squeeze my labor force! Do so much, I curse you that you can't sell it." ”

Scolding and scolding, the work still has to be done, and you can exercise your magic anyway. Han Feng mixed the different ingredients together in proportion, and after mixing them well, he began to freeze them with ice magic. As long as all of them are frozen according to the regulations, Han Feng can be regarded as having completed the processing of some materials.

Don't think it's easy, Han Feng is now just a second-order mid-stage magic apprentice, and the ice magic in his body is very limited. It's easy to freeze a glass of water, but now it's not a glass of water that needs to be frozen, but several large buckets, which add up to at least three or four cubic meters of several large barrels of material. Moreover, these three or four cubic materials are not frozen all at once, but are frozen separately according to their different types.

After being busy for a while, Han Feng distributed these materials according to the type, and there was only one last step left. As long as all these things are frozen according to the regulations, today's work is basically completed. As for how to pack and sell these things, it is none of his business, it is the job of the boss and the hostess.

Cryomy!

As Han Feng cast the spell, his hands began to emit a cold white aura. Under Han Feng's control, the cold qi surged towards the mixture in the barrel, and the liquid in the barrel could slowly begin to condense. It's easy at first, but the further you go, the more difficult it becomes, because it's hard to get the cold to the very center of the poke and freeze it. Therefore, Han Feng had to input more mana in order to completely freeze the liquid in the barrel.

Although Cryo is only the most basic form of ice magic, it is basically non-lethal. At best, the Cryostat can only emit some icy chill, and the consumption is naturally low. However, it was also very tiring to maintain the Freezing Technique for a long time, especially for a low-level trainee magician like Han Feng.

After freezing a bucket of mixed liquid, the mana in Han Feng's body was consumed. You can only meditate to restore your mana before continuing your work. When Han Feng first came to work here, he didn't have the magic power he had now, so he could only divide the mixed liquid in the bucket into several parts and slowly freeze them part by piece.

Freeze!Meditation Reply!

Repeating these two steps repeatedly!Although the temperature in the kitchen had plummeted due to the cold air of the Freezing Technique, Han Feng's forehead was still covered with sweat. Mana can be restored quickly, but mental power cannot be restored quickly. The large consumption of mental power made it more and more difficult for Han Feng to control magic.

After Han Feng finished all the work, he only felt groggy and groggy. His face was pale, and his eyes revealed deep exhaustion. The clothes on his body have long been soaked with sweat, and some places are covered with traces of frost, which looks very embarrassing.

Waving his hand to shake off the frost on his clothes, Han Feng sat on the ground and began to meditate intently. The hospitality in the store came and went from time to time, but they turned a blind eye to all this. Or rather, they're used to it.

It took a long time for Han Feng to withdraw from his meditative state. He let out a long breath and opened his closed eyes. His eyes were blazing, and it was obvious that his mental strength had returned to his best condition. Looking up at the magic clock, I realized that it was still some time before I got off work. Therefore, he decided to continue meditating while he was not working, and improved his mental power and magic power.

Knowing the sea is the source of magic. After the magician absorbs the free elements of the outside world through meditation, he transforms it into magic through the knowledge of the sea. The transformed magic power is stored in the sea of knowledge. Meditation is the process of absorbing the free elements from the outside world and transforming them into magic.

Knowing the sea is very mysterious, and only by entering a deep meditative state can you see the situation in your own sea of consciousness through mental power. The white ice magic was like mist, shrouding the entire sea of consciousness, floating around irregularly. Countless white points of light rushed into the mist of ice magic from all directions like moths to the flames. These white points of light are actually free ice elementals, and after the ice elemental rushes into the misty ice magic, it will be absorbed and then transformed into new magic. As more and more ice elements were transformed, the magic in the sea of consciousness became stronger and stronger, and even the misty magic became a little thicker.

The process of meditation can be said to be very boring and monotonous, but Han Feng still enjoys it. Because he was able to experience the growth of his magic power in the process of meditation. For cultivation, Han Feng has never complained. He understands that his talent is not high, and he will not fall behind until he works harder.

The sunset in the west burned the sky red, and the air still lingered in the heat of midsummer. Pedestrians rushing home can be seen everywhere on the road, and smoke wafts from every house. At the end of the day's work, Han Feng finally returned home smoothly before it was completely dark.

Han Feng's home is in a courtyard, and because it is a building from a long time ago, it looks very shabby. Pushing open the old wooden door that made a "babbling" sound, Han Feng dragged his tired body into the door slowly. As soon as he walked into the house, Han Feng smelled the fragrance of the food, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile: It seems that his parents have come back a long time ago, and even the meal has been prepared.

"Xiao Feng, are you back?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Han Feng's father, Han Jingnan, immediately ran to the door and asked with concern.

"Well, I'm back. Han Feng's face was rippling with a warm smile, not at all indifferent to the academy.

Just as the father and son were talking, Han Feng's mother, Zhao Xueting, also walked out of the house: "Why are you two fathers and sons still standing there? Even if you are not hungry, Xiao Feng should be hungry." Let's go eat, or the food will be cold. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Han Jingnan slapped his head, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he pulled Han Feng inside: "Xiao Feng, let's eat first." ”

Han Feng obediently followed the two into the house: "If I come back late, you two can eat first." Don't wait for me. ”

"It's fine. Han Jingnan snorted: "Anyway, we don't feel hungry, just wait for you to come back and eat together." ”

Han Feng shook his head helplessly, he had said this sentence countless times, but it had no effect at all. He took out a money bag from his clothes and put it on the table: "Dad, Mom, this is my salary for this month's part-time job, a total of two gold coins." Take it. ”

In the Xianglong Empire, there are three currencies, gold, silver and copper, and the exchange rates between them are one to ten and one to one hundred, respectively. That is, one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins. The average family in Jianghai City spends about fifty copper coins a day.

Han Jingnan and Zhao Xueting glanced at each other, and pushed the money bag back in front of Han Feng: "Xiao Feng, you can use this money for yourself, buy whatever you want." If you don't have any money, just ask your parents. Although our family is poor, we still have a little money. If you find your part-time job hard, don't go back. ”

"Dad, Mom. That job is easy, it's not hard at all, and you can practice magic!" Han Feng explained, but on the other hand, he didn't take back the money bag. He thought for a moment, took out a gold coin from his money bag, and then pushed the money bag back: "Otherwise." It just so happened that I had my eye on a piece of magical equipment, and I saved the ten silver coins to buy that equipment. Take the rest. ”

Seeing Han Feng's resoluteness, the two could only compromise: "Okay, okay, let's take it." We'll keep it for you, and if you want money, remember to come to us and get it. ”

"Hmm. Han Feng nodded perfunctorily, and then changed the topic: "Got it." I'm so hungry, let's eat quickly. ”

"Right away. When Zhao Xueting heard her son's words, she began to open up.

Although the meal was simple, the family was very happy.

Perhaps, when it comes to eating, the meal is not the most important thing, but who you eat with. If you eat with someone you like, even if it's just a light meal, it's not much worse than a delicious meal, and if you eat with someone you hate, even the delicacies of the mountains and the sea will become hard to swallow.
