I have to say that being able to live by eating grass is indeed a huge advantage.
A few days later, when the technical school announced the enrollment list, Hopps, who came to the school again, looked very energetic, except that his clothes were a bit old, and even his face was ruddy and shiny.
Because of the abundant life energy of the sacred tree, he has simply lived under the tree these few days, eating weeds on the ground and some leaves blown off by the wind, and if he is full, he will either practice martial arts or sit and meditate.
Although martial arts and magic are not good, Hops really understands both. In the past, he was a man with his tail sandwiched, and even if he knew it, he didn’t dare to exercise. Now he is free and can exercise whatever he wants.
Don’t know if the environment is right? Or is it a change of mood? In short, he found that the training effect of zìjǐ has been greatly improved, especially when he is meditating, he can clearly feel the existence of natural magic. Those feelings that were vague and not clear at all in the past have become clear now, and the power of nature flows around him, as if it flows into the body with every breath of him, making him refreshed.
(It would be great if it could be like this a few years earlier!)
Hopps thought so, but knew it was just a delusion.
The things in the past are over. What he has to do now is to become a good worker, earn money to support him, and never look at other people’s faces to live from now on, and no longer have to look forward and shrink back, and do something with his head upright. An upright person!
The life of the past few days has also given him a great touch. The Northwestern Republic is not without poor people. He has seen people in patched clothes passing by more than once. But even these poor people are all in good spirits. They are neither yellowish or thin because of hunger, nor downcast because of poverty. Their eyes are bright, and they all look confident.
It’s also interesting to say that more than one poor person noticed Hops under the sacred tree, and several people came to persuade him not to be so decadent. At least he should find a temporary job to do—the Void City has a large population, but Because the service industry is the main business, there is always a shortage of manpower. As long as you are diligent enough, you can easily find a job.
As for the boss oppression of workers in other places, it is difficult to get the salary on time after work. It is absolutely impossible here. The priests of the Masked Void Church go around the city all day, like a group of vigilant hounds, looking for clues of all kinds of improper behavior. They don’t care about petty theft, but they don’t care about such things as unpaid. Like qíngkuàng, they are going to take care of it.
The method of “control” by those priests is quite simple and effective, usually dragging people to the street, erecting pillars as temporary altars in public, and then public interrogation. In front of the great power of Majesty the Void, neither profiteers nor liars would want to be fooled, and it is even more impossible to resist. Once confirmed guilty, various instruments of torture are often dragged out.
The most common instrument of torture is a tickling machine, which will not cause substantial damage to people, but as long as you have seen it scratch your eyes, nose, or even feces and urine, you are still laughing. No one would dare to think it is mild and harmless.
The more intense instrument of torture is the famous “electrotherapy chair”, which is a chair with a gum base and a metal frame. The victim is firmly tied to it, and then as long as the switch is pressed, you can hear the beeping The sound sounded, and after a while, blue-and-white electric lights appeared on the metal frame, which made the tortured person die alive.
It is said that this kind of torture instrument is a very powerful magic item. It can effectively prevent the person who is punished from being seriously injured and killed while he is being treated. However, not being able to die is not necessarily a good thing. Generally speaking, people who have been subjected to electric shocks will be stupid for a few days, or even a week for a serious one-the worst legend has been stupid for half a month, regardless of the pain at the time. , Just being a fool who will become a period of time afterwards makes people stand upright.
In the past few days, Hopps has also witnessed a public trial of the Church of the Void Mask. The one being tried was a scammer who committed crimes. This guy always made up news about other people’s children being injured or sick, and defrauded them of money.
Actually, it’s nothing more than cheating money. The most hateful thing is that his reason is too bad, and more than one scares the old man into illness!
The trial of this guy was quite simple. The human and physical evidence was conclusive, and he couldn’t deny it under divine power. In the end, he was sentenced to “dead labor”. As the priest chanted the spell, a dark green light fell on the temporary altar, and the guy screamed and gradually stiffened and turned into a zombie.
Of course, this kind of qíngkuàng is only temporary. After he pays the fine for the money he earned through labor, he can recover his life without leaving any sequelae.
Hmm… if “gōngzuò with a group of true undead” things will not leave him any psychological shadow.
Hopes was a little curious, tried to inquire, and found that there are very few death sentences in the Northwestern Republic. Except for felony crimes such as conclusive murder, even spying or inciting rebellion will not be executed.
But this definitely does not mean that the legal penalties here are insufficient. The so-called strength of the law depends not only on the intensity of the penalties, but also on the efficiency of detecting crimes and arresting criminals. In this regard, the Northwestern Republic is simply high Outrageous.
The residents here form a group of ten households. In addition to bringing their children in the public kindergarten, the elderly in each group patrol the residential area on a daily basis. Because all races live together, there are day-travel and night-travel species, almost uninterrupted. Coupled with the serious and responsible patrols and the priests of the Void Mask Church who are always out of sight, it is not that difficult to commit crimes in the Northwest Republic without being caught or caught!
Hopps really likes this environment, it makes people feel at ease. So even if he sleeps in the field these days, he sleeps very comfortably.
It’s just that when he went back to school, he saw that several cat people who were poorer than zìjǐ were obviously a little fatter than when he first saw them, so he couldn’t help but wonder.
The cat people are brothers, and the eldest brother who takes the lead is called Walter. They and Hopps came to the Northwestern Republic with the same caravan. Because cat people are almost pure carnivorous, their lives are very embarrassing, all of them are thin and thin. Hopes originally planned that they would not be able to live by eating grass these days, fearing that they would be thinner, but he did not expect that these guys would not only lose weight, they would have gained a lot of weight instead.
He asked very curiously, only to learn that these cat people have found odd jobs, and they have been working as delivery men in the underground playground these days.
Under the Void City, there is a huge playground called “Dungeon and Dragon”. This playground is full of traps and monsters. Although it will not cause serious harm to people, it is indeed a bit scary. Tourists from all over the world who are interested in adventure but have no strength, as long as they pay a small amount of money, they can go here to experience the feeling of adventure. If you are lucky, you can also earn some rare goodies through the loot.
There are various supplies scattered in the underground playground, and they need to be checked and replenished regularly. This work is fragmentary and troublesome, and it is usually done by finding odd jobs. The cat people rely on their bodies to be flexible and have dark vision. They are just like fish in the underground playground, and they complete the gōngzuò very well.
This part-time job adopts the method of paying more for more work, and they have actually made a lot of money these days. And because they are often invited by adventurers to eat together, they have meat almost every meal, and they have eaten a lot in a few days.
Coming back this time~IndoMTL.com~ They gave up the registration because they have found a gōngzuò that is really suitable for zìjǐ.
“Congratulations!” After Hops asked clearly, he smiled and said, “You are amazing!”
“Actually, you can also find odd jobs to do.” Walter said, “You are smart and dexterous. It is easy to find gōngzuò.”
“Who would want a mixed breed…”
“It is true on the empire side, but it is different here!” Walter’s eyes lit up. “There is no discrimination against us here, and no one will think we are guilty because we cannot get a response from the gods. As for race, that’s not even a problem. I have seen goblins working as ambulancemen. Even goblins can find gōngzuò. Are you inferior to goblins?”
Hopes was a little moved by what he said, but when he heard from the Sekerite clerk that zìjǐ was admitted to the beneficiation major, he still maintained his original idea.
After all, doing odd jobs is not a long-term solution, and learning something is the right way! (To be continued.)
