I have to say that being able to live by eating grass is indeed a huge advantage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few days later, when the technical school announced the enrollment list, Hopps, who came to the school again, looked in good spirits except for the clothes that were a little older, and even his face was ruddy and shiny.

Because he felt the abundant life energy of the sacred tree, he simply lived under the tree for the past few days, eating the wild grass on the ground and some leaves blown down by the wind, and when he was full, he either practiced martial arts or meditated.

Although martial arts and magic are not masterful, Hopps really understands both, in the past he was a man with his tail between his legs, and even if he did, he didn't dare to exercise much, but now he is free and can exercise as much as he wants.

I don't know if it's because the environment is suitable, or if it's a change in mood? In short, he found that the effect of his exercise was greatly improved, especially when he meditated, he could clearly feel the presence of natural magic. The vague and unclear sensations that had been vague in the past were now clear, and the power of nature flowed around him, as if flowing into his body with every breath he had, making him refreshed.

(If only this had been done a few years earlier!)

Hopps thought so, but knew it was just delusional.

The past has passed, what he has to do now is to become a good worker, make money to support himself, never look at other people's faces to live again, no longer have to look forward and cower, and be an upright person with his head held high!

Life in the past few days has also given him a great feeling, the Northwest Republic is not without poor people, he has seen people in patched clothes passing by more than once. But even these poor people are in good spirits, neither because of hunger but also because of hunger, nor because of poverty and despair. Their eyes were bright, and they all looked confident.

It's also interesting to say that more than one poor man noticed Hops sleeping under the sacred tree, and several people came to persuade him not to be so decadent, but at least to find a temporary job to do - Void City has a large population, but because of the service industry, manpower is always insufficient, as long as you are diligent enough, you can easily find work.

As for the common problems in other places, such as the oppression of workers by bosses and the difficulty of getting paid on time after work, it is absolutely impossible here. The priests of the Church of the Void Mask wander around the city all day long, like a vigilant hound, looking for signs of all kinds of improper behavior, petty theft and the like, they don't care, but they have to take care of such situations as this unpaid wages.

The method of "administration" of the clergy was quite simple and effective, usually by dragging people out into the streets, erecting pillars in public as temporary altars, and then conducting public trials. In the face of the great divine power of His Majesty the Void Mask, neither profiteers nor liars can get away with it, and it is even more impossible to resist. Once the guilt is confirmed, then the various torture instruments are often dragged out.

The most common torture device is the tickling machine, which will not cause substantial damage to people, but as long as you have seen the scene of being scratched by it to tears, snot and even feces and urine, but still laughing, no one dares to think that it is gentle and harmless.

The more intense torture instrument is the famous "electric therapy chair", which is a chair with a gum base and a metal frame, on which the inmate is firmly tied, and then as long as the switch is pressed, the sound of bilibili is heard, and after a while, the metal frame will be bubbled with blue-white electric light, and the inmate will be electrocuted to death.

It is said that this torture instrument is a very powerful magic tool, and it can be used to treat it at the same time, which can effectively prevent the person being punished from being seriously injured and killed. However, not being able to die is not necessarily a good thing, generally speaking, people who have been electrocuted will be stupid for a few days, and even a stupid week in serious cases - the legend says that the worst one was stupid for half a month, and regardless of the pain at the time, just being a fool who will become a fool for a period of time afterwards makes people's hairs stand on end.

In the past few days, Hopps has also witnessed a public trial of the Church of the Void Mask. The one on trial was a swindling fraudster, who always made up news about other people's children's injuries and illnesses to defraud money.

In fact, it's okay to cheat money, the most hateful thing is that he made up too bad a reason, and more than one scared the old man out of his illness!

The trial of this guy was quite simple, the human and material evidence was conclusive, and he couldn't deny it under the divine power, and he was finally sentenced to the punishment of "undead servitude". As the priest chanted the incantation, a dark green light fell from the makeshift altar, and the creature screamed and stiffened, turning into a zombie.

Of course, this situation is only temporary. When the money he earns through his labor is enough to pay off the fine, he can recover his life without leaving any sequelae.

Well...... Suppose that "working with a group of real undead" doesn't leave any psychological shadow on him.

Curious, Hopes tried to inquire, and found that there were very few death sentences in the Northwest Republic, and except for definite felonies such as homicide, even espionage or incitement to rebellion would not be executed.

But this absolutely does not mean that the legal punishment here is insufficient - the so-called strength of the law depends not only on the intensity of the punishment, but also on the efficiency of detecting crimes and arresting criminals, and in this regard, the Northwest Republic is simply ridiculously high.

Residents here are divided into groups of 10 households, and the elders of each group patrol the residential area on a daily basis, in addition to taking care of their children in the public kindergarten. Because of the mixing of various races, there are both diurnal and nocturnal species, almost uninterrupted. Coupled with the conscientious and responsible patrols, as well as the clergy of the Void Masquerade who are always elusive, it is really difficult to commit crimes in the Northwest Republic without being discovered or caught!

Hopps loves the environment and is reassuring. So even though he has been sleeping in the wild these days, he has slept very comfortably.

It's just that when he returned to school and saw a few cat people who were poorer than him, he was obviously a little fatter than when he first saw them, and he couldn't help but wonder.

The cat-men were brothers, and the eldest brother in the lead was called Walter, and they and Hopps had followed the same caravan to the Northwest Republic. Because cat people are almost purely carnivorous, they have a very difficult life, and they are all thin and thin. Hopps planned that they would not be able to eat grass these days, and they were afraid that they would be thinner, but he didn't expect that these guys not only did not get thinner, but gained a lot of weight.

He was very curious to ask, only to learn that these cat people had found a part-time job, and they had been working as delivery people in the underground playground for the past few days.

Underneath the Void City, there is a huge playground called "Dungeons & Dragons". The playground is full of traps and monsters, and while they don't cause any real harm, they're a little scary. Tourists from all over the world who are interested in adventure but don't have the strength can go here for a small amount of money to experience the feeling of adventure. If you're lucky, you'll even earn some rare goodies from loot.

The underground playground is littered with various supplies, which are to be checked and replenished regularly. This work is piecemeal and troublesome, and it is usually done by odd jobs. Those cats relied on their physical agility and dark vision, and they were like fish in water in the underground playground, and they did their job well.

This gig job adopts the method of paying more for more work, and they actually make a lot of money these days. And because I was often invited by adventurers to eat together, I almost had meat at a meal, and within a few days, I ate a lot of fat.

When they came back this time, they gave up because they had found a job that really suited them.

"Congratulations!" Hopps said with a smile after asking, "You guys are amazing!"

"Actually, you can also find a part-time job. "You're smart and smart, and it's easy to get a job." ”

"Who wants a half-blood......

"That's true on the Empire's side, but it's different here!" Walter's eyes lit up, "There is no discrimination against us here, and no one will feel guilty about us just because we can't get a response from the gods." As for race, that's not an issue, I've seen goblins working as ambulances. Even goblins can get a job, aren't you better than goblins?"

Hoppes was a little moved by what he said, but when he heard from Clerk Secratt that he had been admitted to the beneficiation program, he maintained his original idea.

Doing odd jobs is not a long-term solution after all, it is only right to learn a skill first! )
