Chapter 060: Part-time job
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than four months since Ryan came to Pal Comprehensive College.
In the past four months, Ryan has made rapid progress. Not only did he become a level 1 swordsman and enter the second grade, but he also created a set of basic sword skills, and his strength rose a notch.
However, now in Ryan's heart, there is still a thorn. In order to learn fighting spirit and sword skills, Ryan simply ignored it, but now that it has stabilized, Ryan has to think about this problem.
The problem is the question of money.
Before Ryan came to Pal Comprehensive College, he had a total of more than thirty gold coins, and after paying the tuition fee of eighteen gold coins, Ryan still had more than ten gold coins left, and then he got five gold coins when he entered the second year of the so-called appearance fee.
However, after deducting the living expenses of the past four months, Ryan counted and only had a little more than fourteen gold coins left.
Ryan has always been short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have been cheeky enough to cheat people out of 5 gold coins when he entered the second grade before.
This is a very serious problem, because in more than half a year, Ryan will have to pay another year's tuition, and if he can't pay it, he will be kicked out of the college. So now that he has stabilized, Ryan has to think about how to make money.
It seemed unlikely that he wanted to make a large sum of money at once, and Ryan couldn't think of any way to make a large sum of money at once. Then, you can only make money by your own efforts little by little.
Ryan was a little conflicted, he wanted to make more money, but he didn't want to consume a lot of time in cultivation. He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of anything to make money.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he was studying in his previous life, there were many people in the school who worked part-time while studying. So, is it possible that colleges in this world can also provide part-time job opportunities?
"I don't know, but I can ask tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Ryan approached Helis to inquire.
Helis is not very clear, Heshao, who has no worries about food and clothing, will not know the lives of the people at the bottom.
After asking Ryan about his intentions, Helis offered to help Ryan pay for his tuition.
Without even thinking about it, Ryan rejected Helis's offer. This is Ryan's principle, what's more, Ryan doesn't believe that with his own ability, he won't even be able to earn more than a dozen gold coins.
Helis didn't force it, and he understood Ryan's approach.
Eventually, Helis suggested that Ryan go to the Academy's office and ask about it, as all the mess at the Academy was handled by the Office.
Ryan went to the college office, which is a place that many people don't know about, and it took Ryan a long time and a lot of passers-by to find this place after asking many passers-by.
As Ryan had imagined, the college office was deserted, with two office staff sitting in a huge office with nothing to do.
As soon as Ryan entered, one of the old men in his forties and fifties approached.
"What is the matter with you, young man?" The old man said with a smile, looking like a weasel greeting the cat.
"Well, I'd like to ask." Ryan replied with great caution, and if he could, he even wanted to take a few steps back and move away from the old man, but he finally restrained himself.
In fact, this old man is not a bad person, but his warm personality, coupled with the fact that the work here is really boring, will entertain Ryan so enthusiastically.
"What do you want to ask, young man? We can handle anything here. "The old man looks like a merchant selling outside, and people can't help but laugh.
"That's right, I want to find a part-time job, I wonder if the academy can provide it?" Ryan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but eventually spoke out cheekily.
"Part-time job? What is it? The old man asked, puzzled.
"Oh, that's what the academy means by offering me a job to do, and then paying me when I'm done." Ryan realized that the word part-time job is not a word in this world, so he quickly explained.
"Oh, you're talking about a labor mission, right?" The old man came to his senses.
"Servitude? Will I get paid for what I do? Ryan had heard this term for the first time, and felt weird, so he couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Yes, from time to time, our academy will provide some labor tasks for students to complete, and students can get a certain amount of remuneration after completion."
Then the old man gushed a lot of things, which immediately gave Ryan a general understanding.
It turns out that not only Parr College, but almost all colleges will provide some labor tasks for students to do, and these labor tasks are paid.
However, most of the students who enter Parr Comprehensive College are children of wealthy families, and they do not have to worry about spending money at all. There are far too few people like Ryan who have to earn money, pay their tuition, and support themselves.
So sometimes, the college had to assign some labor tasks to the students.
For example, when Ryan was enrolled, the group of testers who tested the strength of freshmen was a kind of labor duty, and because there were not enough people, they had to be assigned to some second-year students. That's how Priss was assigned to be a tester. Of course, this servitude can be paid.
So when Ryan offered to do some hard work, the old man was very happy. Because the supply of labor tasks has always exceeded demand, which has always annoyed the office staff of the office, it is rare for someone to come to receive the task today, so I am naturally very happy.
But then, when Ryan asked for the labor task he wanted to take on, which must be well-paid and short-lived, the old man couldn't laugh.
"With such a good labor task, everyone wants to do it, will it be your turn?" The old man scolded in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
Finally, after some thought, the old man thought of a labor mission, and then he introduced to Ryan: "There is a labor mission, the pay is quite high, you can get 20 silver coins for doing it once, but it takes a lot of time. I don't know if you're interested? ”
"Oh, please tell me about it." Ryan was a little interested and thought it would be okay to hear it.
"Every ten days, our academy needs to provide 10 students to go to the city guard to assist the city guard to perform a day's city guard work, the work is relatively simple, but you must do a full day's work." The old man introduced unhurriedly.
Then he explained the situation of the mission in detail, and Ryan understood what was going on.
It turned out that there were thousands of soldiers in the city guard, and the work of guarding the city of Skayas inevitably had to be carried out in shifts, and the soldiers were also required to take turns to take several days off each month, which caused the city guard to be often under-numbered.
I don't know who came up with the idea, I think Skayas City is known as the city of the academy, there are many academies, and there are countless student swordsmen with good strength in the academy. These student swordsmen, if they take out any of them, will not be worse than the soldiers of the city guard. Therefore, the City Guard proposed to each academy that each college must regularly provide the City Guard with a group of students to replace the soldiers on leave. Of course, the city guards still have to be paid.
Many academies were not satisfied with this requirement, but due to the strength of the city guard, they had to recruit students in the form of issuing labor assignments, of course, there were very few people who received this task each time, and every time the time came, the academy had to forcibly assign some students to go, which made people angry.
That's why the Parr Academy issued the Guardian Servitude Mission.
After listening to the introduction, Ryan really thought about it for a long time, this task will consume a day's time, and you can earn 20 silver coins, but fortunately it is only once every ten days, otherwise Ryan wouldn't even have to think about it.
Ryan felt that this task was acceptable, after all, it was impossible to have a job that did not consume time at all and could earn a lot of money.
However, Ryan didn't say yes right away, and he wanted to see if there were any other tasks. So, Ryan then asked, "Are there any other tasks?" ”
"Yes, but the reward is only 2 silver coins, and it takes 3 days to complete the labor task, why don't you do it?" The old man's eyes were full of cunning, and he seemed to see Ryan's thoughts, and directly used a very poor labor task to dispel Ryan's desire to continue to ask.
"Okay, I'll accept this labor assignment from the city guard." Ryan replied with a deep curse.
Then, Ryan registers his information, and is told that he will have to do this labor task tomorrow, and that he must gather at the gate of the academy after dawn, and then gather everyone to go to the city guard.
