Sometimes, luck is just that.

When John took his sister and mother to the queue to receive candy, he quietly asked the clerk, and when he heard that there was a promotional reward of 12 candies, he covered his mouth in shock, for fear that his breathing would be too loud to attract the attention of others.

John didn't immediately exchange it for candy, but continued to pull people frantically with a roll of his eyes.

But by the next day, there were too many people around who knew about it, and even asked for half a candy to be shared with him before they were willing to apply for his invitation code.

John is naturally unwilling, five newcomers can only make up a candy, and isn't he a blood loss if he divides half of it?!

After thinking about it, John did the boldest thing in his life!

He ran into the inner city and pulled people's heads.

The outer city is a slum, but the inner city is not all about the superior people who have no worries about food and clothing.

John's first target was the wanderers, then the commoners, the commoners, and finally the down-and-out adventurers.

With a higher status, he didn't dare to contact it, for fear of offending the other party and being killed, but this was enough.

John was absent from work for two days, and in two days, he almost wore out his mouth, and finally changed to 432 candies.

He kept only two of them, and then secretly ran to the inner city to sell them.

Sugar is a luxury, a small candy is inconspicuous, but 430 candies is not a small number.

In the end, John earned 12 silver coins.

John knew very well that he was being underpriced, but he was just an ordinary child, and it was John's only wish to be able to exchange them for money and take them home while still alive.

12 Credits! 1200 Copper Coins!!

If it had been two months earlier, his eldest sister would not have had to sell herself.

As he shivered and hid money in his body, John couldn't hold back his tears and cried.

He'd lose his job as a miner himself, knowing he'd face a beating when he got home, but that's 12 silver!

"Mom, Mom, don't cry......" Mother wielded her stick fiercely, but she only slapped John with a rough slap, and did not really kill - their family could not afford to pay for any medical bills.

John dug through his own body, digging out the silver coins that he had carefully hidden, because there was so much money that his body could not even hide some of them, so he had to take the risk of hiding three of them in the most intimate clothes.

John's home, a shack made of wood, stone, weed, and mud, is the most common dilapidated house in the slums, and is not soundproofed in any way.

When his mother was tired of beating and crying, and the neighbors didn't care, and it was completely dark, John dared to carefully pull out the money.

Darkness is the best protective color, and if you are careful in the dark of the night, no one will know that there are twelve silver coins in this dilapidated shed full of poor ghosts.

No one could see it, not even his own family, and in the room where there was no light, John solemnly placed the dirty silver coin in his mother's palm, which was full of scars and calluses: "The candy is very fragrant and delicious." ”

Over and over again, he drew the symbols of silver coins in his mother's palms.

The mother froze and looked at John in shock, her eyes full of shock.

The night hid all the secrets, and John couldn't see his mother in the dark, but tears that were hot like magma fell on him again and again.

"Mommy......" John struggled to squeeze out a smile as he held back the tears that were about to erupt, "I'll be looking for a job tomorrow." ”

Three days, this is already the limit, the population of Conero City is not large, as a city in the middle of the empire that does not have any resources protruding, Conroro is not big, John has taken advantage of the information difference in these three days, and has deceived and pulled all the people he can get.

Next, he has to find a job and work hard.

"John......" his mother hugged his thin body and cried silently, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know anything, I'm sorry ......"

"Mom, I don't blame you. It's not you who is at fault. ”

John didn't understand, he wasn't wrong, and Mom wasn't wrong, but why were they still having such a hard time? Is it because of laziness? But they've been working so hard!

John pinched the silver coin, and the thoughts in his mind were messed up as if they were going to come out of his head, but what kind of monster would come out? He doesn't really understand.

But these twelve silver coins made him understand one thing - dry miners can't make money!

He has worked hard in the mine for so long, but he is only enough to eat half full, and mining can't improve his life! Candy is fine!

But John also knows very well that this transaction can only be said to be an accident of great luck, and it is almost impossible to do it for a long time.

What to do, John didn't know, he lay in bed and thought about it all night without coming up with it.

"Brother, does it still hurt?" Anne carefully took out the candy she had hidden for a long time and handed it to his mouth, "My candy will be licked for you." ”

In order not to be snatched away, Anne also ate the candy as soon as she received it.

But she kept an eye on it, ran home as fast as she could, and then "rescued" more than half of the candy.

The slimy candy was almost covered with more than half of the candy wrapper, Anne was very tolerant, she only licked one bite a day, even if it was such a small candy, it was enough for her to lick it for half a month.

Anne, who had nothing, was very satisfied, and the thought of being able to lick it again tomorrow made her full of hope for tomorrow.

But no matter how good the candy is, it can't compare to John's.

The treasure, which was a treasure to her, was given to John by her as a gift to make him happy.

"Brother, lick it, the milk-flavored candy is delicious!"

John took it with red eyes, and the moment he opened the candy wrapper, the sweet milk and sweetness came over him, and he licked it carefully, and said exaggeratedly: "It's so sweet!" It's the best I've ever tasted! ”

Anne laughed happily, and then she was stuffed with a milk-flavored candy by John.

"Shh John quietly agreed with her, "Don't tell anything about you, you're going to eat quietly, you know?" ”

Anne looked around vigilantly to make sure there were no enemies before she quickly stretched out her claws to grab the candy and hide it in her clothes.

"I'll hide it, and we'll eat together when the eldest sister comes back!"

Anne was too young to tell her about the fact that her eldest sister would never come back.

"Okay." Of the 432 candies, John kept two, one for the milk flavor that Anne had gotten, and the other for the berry flavored candies.

When the mother took the candy again, she bit it open with her teeth, half of it was in Anne's mouth, and half of it was in John's mouth, and the candy stayed in her mouth for so short that before her tongue realized what was happening, the candy disappeared.

The happiness that candy can bring is the only thing they can get at the moment, he thought...... Let my mother and eldest sister taste it too.

John suppressed the sourness in his eyes, gave Anne another candy to hide it, and then drank a bowl of extravagant weed paste and went out to look for work.

There was still a sticky feeling in his mouth, and John, who hadn't eaten enough for a long time, only felt that the sky was sweet and hungry.

Conlore City is a small city, so it's hard to find a job here, and John ran all morning, unsurprisingly didn't find a new person and didn't find a job.

But he was hungry again, so he went to the river to fill his stomach, and used his not very smart brain to think about what to do next.

"Did you hear that? We're going to have a movie in a few days. ”

"Is that the Prince of the Sea?!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the clerk of the "Magical Boy-" specialty store, it shouldn't be wrong!"

“……”

Hearing the discussion in the tavern, John was suddenly inspired.

He didn't know what the "movie" was, but the twelve silver coins were earned from the "Magic Boy-" store, how could he forget the store!

"Hello you......"

In just a few days, the store changed, and the land in the outer city was not valuable, so the store chose the largest building to buy and rebuild.

The store is large, and a third of the counters selling bracelets and card holders are the same similar products, but at first glance they are so varied that they can make the poor dizzy.

In addition, there is a third of the space in the war zone, where many young masters and young ladies from the inner city stay here every day, and the luxury carriages outside are parked one after another, and almost all the tea party locations have been changed to battle competitions.

The other one-third of the experience area was also full of people, but it was not the guests who came to experience it, but there were too many people in the battle area, and there were no people in the experience area, so the venue was divided into battles.

John stood timidly in the doorway, not daring to let his dirty self enter the store and pollute the air.

The clerk's sister was very impressed with John, after all, when seven or eight new people were recruited per capita, there was only one child who came to exchange 432 pieces of candy.

- Why add a qualifier? Naturally, it was because the slave owners drove the slaves in exchange for a cart of candy.

In the past, Aya may not have had such emotional ups and downs, but I don't know if she has been in Lanceville for a long time, and her first reaction when she saw that scene was to be angry.

But there is no way to get angry, she can only take the new candy to the other party according to the rules.

With the contrast of those slave owners, John's impression of her was even better.

"Are you here to redeem candy? I'll get it for you. ”

"No, no!" John blushed, but his skin was so black as a mask that he couldn't see it in the thick stains.

"I, I want to, I want to ask......" John was very embarrassed, but he wanted his sister to become extraordinary, and only by becoming transcendent and crossing classes could it be possible to "buy" the eldest sister back.

The twelve silver coins spurred his ambition hard, and his desire grew more tightly in his heart than the weeds of spring.

"Is there anything I need to do? I—How can I help? ”

Perhaps Aya's smile was too gentle, and there was no disdain or disgust in her eyes, which embarrassed John, who was always receptive to malice.

Those cheeky words that can be said by cheeky people in front of dozens of masters have all become difficult to say.

Aya didn't chase him away because he looked dirty, but thought about it seriously.

"There have been a lot of guests lately, and there is indeed a shortage of people." Aya beckoned him in, "Well, you're in charge of cleaning these areas, sweeping, mopping, taking out the trash, wiping the tables, and if you can clean up the toilets, it will really help!" ”

"If you're willing to do it, how about three copper coins a day?"

John's eyes widened in shock when he heard the salary.

Aya misunderstood, and hurriedly changed her words: "Also, it's really not good to have such a salary without food, without five insurances and one housing fund." So be it, five copper coins a day. ”

John: "!! ”

John was stupid when he heard the three copper coins, just cleaning and cleaning can earn three copper coins a day?! He even thought it was his own hallucination!

When he heard that the price had been raised by five copper coins a day, John was afraid that she would regret it, so he said in a loud voice: "I'll do it, I'll do it!" You can extract my life force! ”

Aya was amused: "We are not a black-hearted evil organization, so we will extract your life force!" And it's useless for me to ask for those things! ”

Aya motioned for him to follow and took him to the bathroom for him to clean up.

John was stunned to see the bathroom cleaner than any of the best houses he had ever seen in his life, especially when he heard that it was a free public restroom for guests, and his eyes widened wider than a brass bell.

"This is shower gel, this is shampoo, I don't have deworming medicine, do you mind shaving your head?"

Where was John willing to say a word to such a beautiful and kind-hearted clerk, and almost turned his head into a wooden fish.

The bathroom didn't have a special shower, so Aya called the male clerk and told him to pull a pipe into the cubicle.

"By the way, teach him how to use shower gel and shampoo."
