Chapter Seventy-One: Exploitation
Connie returns from class.
Today is her first day of study at Yellow Iris Academy, and the teacher's class is very good, although she has already mastered some knowledge, but she has re-acquainted herself from another perspective.
In addition, there are many things that cannot be learned in the outer city, such as equestrian, chess, music and dance...... There is also a special etiquette teacher every month to teach them various manners of high society, after all, most of the students who graduate from Yellow Iris College can find a decent job in the inner city.
These etiquettes are essential skills for survival in the inner city.
There are many middle-class and even wealthy businessmen in the inner city, and their alma mater is this college.
But the only thing that makes Connie depressed is that her classmates seem to look down on her. I don't know which lady it was, but when I learned that she was from the outer city, she was nicknamed "Miss Oil".
Even Mrs. Judy, the life administrator, pulled her alone to persuade her not to wear clothes stained with organic oil to class next time.
Connie put down her bag in some distress, wondering if she should take some time to go out and buy new clothes. Mr. Jack rewarded himself with a large sum of money, and it was time to replace the old clothes that he had worn for years.
Her eyes caught a glimpse of a letter on the table, and her face changed suddenly.
"Oops! I forgot what Mr. Jack told me! ”
She exclaimed, picked up the letter, and rushed out the door.
Mr. Jack had written this letter a few days earlier, asking him to send it to the Iron Fist Gang and give it to Gary, the boss there. It's just that because I'm busy working in the warehouse these days, and I'm looking forward to going to school today, I forgot about it for a while.
Speaking of the Iron Fist, Connie has always been surprised.
When he and Miss Floy were almost kidnapped, it was Mr. Jack who saved them. Unexpectedly, the entire Iron Fist Gang later became a vassal of Mr. Jack, and the boss Gary was also obedient to Mr. Jack.
Descending to the second floor, he pushed open the door of the coachman's room, ready to let him drive the carriage to the outer city.
The coachman, who was lying on the bed, saw Connie open the door, and with some panic, he stuffed the book in his hand under the pillow, and then stood up in embarrassment.
"What are you looking at, Mr. Coachman?"
Connie looked at the suspicious man with suspicious eyes.
"Ah...... Nothing, some miscellaneous books. ”
As he spoke, the coachman turned sideways and said solemnly:
"Do you want to go out? Miss Connie, I've got you covered! ”
Connie was in a hurry, so she didn't ask any more.
Just glancing at the corner of the magazine peeking out under the pillow, the cover seemed to be the long legs of a black silk girl.
Connie's face flushed a little, and she turned and left the room.
"Anyway, Mr. Jack doesn't like to read these kinds of magazines...... Probably not, he's a gentleman of integrity. ”
Connie thought to herself.
When the carriage drove to the outer city.
As she passed Denton Street, Connie pulled back the curtain to see if Mrs. Caroline was busy at the florist.
As a result, she saw two men and women who looked like low-level civilians, being questioned by patrol guards.
Seeing this scene, Connie frowned slightly.
She suddenly remembered Mr. Jack and Miss Floy, who had probably happened to them when they first came to Amber City.
Connie, who has lived in the outer city for many years, knows the greed of these patrol guards. They will not actively arrest criminals, but often embarrass the low-level civilians and ask for cards.
Connie stopped the carriage and stepped out of the carriage.
“…… If you don't want to go to prison with us, it's okay, the deposit of 20 silver lords, I'll let you go today. ”
The voice of the guards could be heard in the distance.
"Can there be less? We don't have that much money on us. ”
Su Keying looked pitiful, but the guards didn't eat it, but sneered.
"It's okay if you don't have money, you go with us and let your man go."
"He's not my man! And what do you two old critics want to do!? ”
Su Keying suddenly exploded in anger and scolded directly.
Finished!
Polaris didn't have time to stop it, and now it's a big deal.
Angered by the guards, they had no room for manoeuvre and could be directly imprisoned, or even killed on the spot if they resisted. Even if they are resurrected, most of them are wanted, and they are struggling in the outer city.
"Excellent! Come with us! ”
The guard's eyes twitched, and he held his sword on Su Keying and Polaris' shoulders, threatening them.
Su Keying still wanted to resist, but the guards were about to give her a sword to let her taste the bitterness.
"Stop!"
Connie paused.
The four of them all cast their eyes at her.
The guards looked at the girl, dressed in a dirty uniform, typical of a civilian girl from an out-of-town city.
"I advise you not to meddle in your business, little girl."
He said viciously.
"They're the newly hired servants of Jack's Manor, you're mistaken...... This is 20 silver lords, let them go. ”
Connie pulled a handful of silver coins out of her pocket, nodded and handed it over.
Su Keying and Polaris looked at this girl they didn't know in surprise, they didn't expect to be willing to help them.
The two guards were stunned, they didn't expect to meet such a fool.
The guard at the head looked at Connie again, and couldn't tell that the girl was quite rich.
"You heard me wrong, I'm talking about 20 silver lords for one person, and 40 silver lords for two people combined."
The guard said with a smile.
His eyes flashed with greed, and he glanced at Connie's pocket.
Connie held back her anger and was silent for a few seconds, then pulled out 20 silver from her pocket again.
"Wait, how can you, a civilian in the outer city, have so much money? I suspect that you are suspected of committing a crime and plotting to steal improper property...... Show me your identification. ”
The guards couldn't look down on Connie's silver lord anymore, and he stared straight at Connie's money pocket.
There, there are at least dozens of silver knights, and maybe gold pounds!
"This ...... Miss, let's go with them. ”
Su Keying gritted her teeth and said.
Although she knew that it was just a game, it was all too realistic, and Su Keying didn't want to see that there were good people who were implicated because of herself.
If it's a big deal, you will commit suicide and waste a chance to be resurrected.
However, because they have not joined any factions, have not received quests, and have not yet connected with the people or things on this map, it may be possible that the respawn point is not in Amber City.
At most, she missed this closed beta, she was just a small anchor, and her desire to chase the advantage of the first opportunity was not strong. Anyway, this time, some footage was recorded along the way, which was enough for her to cut out a good video.
It's just that the loss of Polaris will be much greater, and he is a lone ranger who missed this opportunity to enter the closed beta, and the difficulty of entering the first gradient has greatly increased.
Let's find a way to make up for it myself in the future.
Su Keying sighed in her heart.
"Hey! I can't help you say that it counts......"
The guard sneered.
He pointed at Connie with his dagger.
"What Jack Manor, haven't heard of it! The two of them are unidentified and suspected of being suspects, and now you are most likely their mastermind, and you must come with us! ”
At this time, a lot of onlookers had gathered around, pointing fingers at this place.
But most of them have been surprised and shake their heads away.
"Oh! Connie! ”
Mrs. Caroline's voice came, and she hurried through the crowd with scissors and a flower in her hand.
"What's going on?!"
