The Dean Has Arrived

Chapter 178

Because tomorrow is the opening day of the celestial sphere competition, all the work she can do is almost done, and the rest are some heavy chores, which has nothing to do with her. In addition, Xiwei had already informed her that she had something to do yesterday. Not going to Golovito, so on the eve of the celestial ball game, the girl had a short vacation instead.(Net m full text novel update fastest)

But like many people, they always expect to have time to rest when they are busy, but once they really rest, they don’t know what to do.

Sleep late?Alina has always had a clear schedule. Even if she wants to sleep in, the habit she has cultivated all the year prevents her from falling asleep.

Go shopping like a normal girl?Because I have spent a lot of time with Savi and Saran before, I am not interested in running into the crowd for the time being.

After thinking for a long time, the girl finally decided to go to the bookstore and read a day of free knight novels...

But not long after she left her room, she met Saran on the road.

The blue-haired girl walking in the crowd didn't seem to notice Alina's sight, and she walked aimlessly in the crowd with a small parasol with lace on the edge.

I don't know if it was her illusion, Alina always felt that the girl who was always full of energy when she was with them was a bit gloomy and melancholy at this time.

After hesitating, Alina shouted to Sharan: "Miss Sharan!"

The expression on Shalan's face, who was originally absent-minded, was taken aback, and she looked up and found Alina who was not far away from her.

"Ah, good noon." Although Saran looked a little surprised.But he greeted Alina quietly.

"Do you have any concerns?"

Alina calmly came to Saran and walked side by side with the girl. At the same time, she asked in a nonchalant tone: "I always feel that you are not very interested today."

"Nothing." Like a pissed child, Saran stubbornly rejected Alina's temptation, and put her face aside from the Chapter 178 gift: "I didn't feel that the uncle was not here. Lonely."

"Uh..." Alina, who has been tempered by the market for a long time, is accustomed to those slick and cunning people, gaping her mouth.Suddenly did not know what to say.

At this moment,What Xiwei used to say when commenting on Saran immediately came to her mind.

What a fool.

But it seems a bit rude to the other party to think this way.

The girl immediately drove the word idiot out of her head, and tried to find other topics: "Miss Sharan. Are you planning to stroll around the city?"

"By the way, are you familiar with this city?" As if being reminded by Alina, Saran stopped.Asked Alina.

Although I don’t know what Sharan means, because of the attitude of serving customers that I have developed in the past, Alina also stopped and replied seriously: "It should be considered quite familiar. After all, I also I have lived in this city for many years."

"In that case, do you know where you can make a lot of money in one day?" Hearing this rare silver-haired girl in casual clothes in front of her, Saran approached the girl with interest and opened her almond-colored eyes. Shui Yingying looked at her.

Although Saran was not conscious, in fact she had unconsciously activated some of the special spell-like abilities'charm' possessed by vampires.Of course, for Saran, her ability is still relatively weak...

"It's not that easy to make money... but how much money do you have now?"

Probably because of the effect of the charm, Alina, who should have been puzzled by this, actually began to seriously consider the issue of'making a lot of money in one day'.

Saran rummaged through her pockets, and finally found only the inheritance that Cage left her and the pocket money Sevi gave her—a total of five silver coins.

"It's not much, but it's enough." Alina nodded.As he walked forward with Saran, he introduced to her: "There are many messy places in Golovito, and there are many places where you can pawn and recycle old items, although most rare or valuable antiques will definitely be sold by the owner. Take it away, but..."

She and Saran came to a somewhat dilapidated house, which was filled with various things like a garbage dump.(.)

But Alina dismissed those antiques that looked old.I just concentrated on planing in the old book, and finally dig out a red cover. On the cover, there are some gilded texts that have begun to fade. On the end of the book, there are illegible swashes written in black paint.

Then she took a few books and clamped the red book randomly.

"Boss, how much are these books?" Alina asked loudly, shook the book in her hand to the uncle who was lying lazily on the counter with all the hair in the center of his head turned into a Mediterranean hairstyle.

The uncle with a pimple on his nose raised his eyelids and glanced at the pile of dirty-looking books in Alina's hand, then lowered his eyelids and said weakly, "Take the thirty coppers. "

Unlike other antiques, unless it is a magic book, books and other things generally cannot sell for a large price, so the shopkeeper is not interested in checking the books that the girl is holding.

After paying the money to the shopkeeper, Alina left the pawn shop with a confused Shalan and came to an alley with few pedestrians.

"What's wrong? What did you do?" Shalan, who hadn't figured out what happened from beginning to end, asked Alina hurriedly after leaving the pawn shop.

Alina threw all the broken books in her hand into the trash can except for the red book, and then shook the red book in her hand towards Saran: "This book can sell for about one to ten gold coins."

Shalan blinked her eyes and looked puzzled: "This broken book can be worth so much money?"

"This is a magic book written in a secret language. Many great magicians or great alchemists don’t like to make some of their experimental results and magic theories accessible to everyone, so they often use some special magic after recording. Encrypting it, even some appraisers can’t tell it. But as long as it can be interpreted, its value can be increased hundreds of times.” Alina explained patiently to Saran: “This kind of Although the total number of books is not large, the accumulation of books in many pawn shops in Golovito can make many libraries feel uncomfortable. If you look carefully, it is very possible to find this kind of books. This is what many appraisers call Taobao."

"Oh, is that so!" The expression on Saran's face immediately became very clear, and she patted her flat chest.With a confident face, he said, "Wait for me here!" After speaking, he trot with an umbrella and disappeared into Alina's vision.

It didn't take long for her to walk back with a big stack of books in her arms.

"Look at how much these books are worth!" Put the large stack of books on the ground.Saran couldn't wait to look at Alina.

Alina could only squat down with a wry smile and read the dusty books that had been long ago, acting as a temporary appraiser to help Saran appraise the value of these books.

Fortunately, there are not many pedestrians in this small alley.Otherwise, the look of the two girls staring at a pile of tattered ancient books will definitely attract a lot of curious eyes.

After a long time, Alina closed the last book. She rubbed her forehead, and met Shalan's expectant gaze somewhat embarrassingly.

"Alina, how much are these worth?"

"Uh...about fifty coppers." After thinking about it for a while, Alina decided to tell the truth.

"How come?! I obviously spent five silver coins to buy these books!" Shalan opened her eyes incredibly and made an incredible voice.

"These books are just ordinary books. Not only are there no magic books, but there are even no books of collectible value..."

Alina embarrassedly flipped through some books whose title page had disappeared: "Although I don't deny that I might have misunderstood, but the chances of making mistakes in this type of relatively easy identification are not high."

"Woo. Why is this..." Saran was suddenly depressed.

This is normal... Alina said to her heart.

Just now she wanted to teach Saran a little bit of tricks to distinguish magic books, but before she could say anything, the blue-haired girl rushed out by herself. If she could find a magic book, it would be unscientific...

In short, the two can only sell the pile of books to the pawn shop in exchange for three silver coins.Continue to consider ways to make money.

"Speaking of which, Miss Saran, you live in the Grand Catherine Hotel, right?" Alina suddenly remembered that the Grand Catherine Hotel seemed to be when Xiwei and her sent Saran back.

"Yes." Saran nodded, affirming Alina's words.

"Then it's okay." Alina said as she took Saran to the Catherine Hotel.

To be precise, it is the underground casino of the Catherine Grand Hotel.

As a guest of the hotel, Saran can naturally enter the underground casino, and Alina is also well-known in the Luolan Chamber of Commerce, so she will not be blocked.

Because of the Celestial Ball, the casino, which should have been a little deserted during the day, is also very lively.As soon as they stepped into this place, the girls' ears were filled with the cheers of the winners, the cry of the losers, and the sound of dice, roulette, or rolling or spinning.

"If it's here, even if you don't have skills, you can win a lot of money by luck." After redeeming three silver chips, Alina set a demonstration for Saran.

Although Alina is not good at this, when working for the Chamber of Commerce, she will inevitably encounter various entertainments. There is also such a situation of meeting at the table, so she still has some experience for gambling girls. of.

Stud (here refers to similar games, the same below), blackjack, landlord, gambling dice, Russian roulette...

After Alina and Saran circled the casino, Alina's initial three silver chips have now become two golden chips and twelve silver chips.

She is not the kind of gambler who puts all his chips on the table, but will use some chips to test, and when she is familiar with and has the confidence to win, she suddenly puts all the chips to make a big profit, and then changes immediately. Other ways of gambling.

"How about it, it's easy, right?" After winning another round, Alina turned around and said to Sharan: "Although I rely on a little bit of technology, this kind of thing takes a lot of luck and observation. Higher."

Seeing Saran who was still silent, Alina thought that the girl was afraid of losing all her money.So he cheered her up: "Don’t be afraid of losing money. If you lose, I will lend you a big deal. Anyway, as long as you are familiar with the road, it’s not difficult to revert your money. If you are still afraid, I can guide you later. What to do."

"Let's go back."

After being silent for a while, Saran whispered.

"Don't give it a try. If Russian roulette is black and white, there is a 50% chance that the chips will double?" Alina asked.

"This is not the money I want." Saran shook her head.Rejected Alina's invitation: "I just want to buy something with my own money. I am not interested in this kind of unknown money."

Although Saran had been to the casino before and lost a lot of money, the girl actually didn't feel much about money at that time.I just think gambling is fun.

Alina looked at Saran with a probing gaze, and Sharan looked back at Alina with a clear gaze without evasive.

The two of them looked at each other in the noisy surroundings.

After a long while, Alina chuckled.

Regarding this, Saran frowned delicately.

Alina took Saran's hand.Pulling the reluctant blue-haired girl out of the casino, out of the Catherine Hotel.

At this time, Alina said without looking back: "Now, Luo Lan Auction House is hiring temporary workers."

"What, what?" Because she was a little resistant to Alina's actions, Saran couldn't hear her clearly when she was speaking.

"Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce is recruiting temporary messengers. The hourly salary is as high as five silver coins, but the work to be done is scary." Alina repeated: "Six hours of high-intensity work can In exchange for thirty silver coins."

"Um..." Sharan hesitated looking at the silver-haired girl who was pulling herself in front.

"Although thirty silver coins are indeed not a lot, and there is no way to buy too luxurious things, but a well-made tie, a delicate and durable feather pen, and a beautiful staff cover are also good gifts. Isn't it?"

Alina turned her head and gave the blue-haired girl a big smile.

"Why, why do you know!?" Saran's cheeks flushed all of a sudden—as a high-level vampire, she still has more blood in her body than many vampires—and stammered: "I didn't say anything. I have to give the uncle a gift!"

"Because your expression is too obvious." Alina suddenly felt that this unfamiliar girl's desire to try to do something for others was really cute: "There is no way to hide your thoughts. "

"Ah..." Sharan shyly wanted to blast a hole in the ground with blood magic.

"So, do you want to do it? A temporary handyman from Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce?" Alina asked Shalan sternly.

She still held Saran's hand, and the blue-haired girl's shy look made Alina no doubt that she would let go.Saran would escape in a hurry.

Although she is still very shy, this time Shalan raised her face and tried her best to make her expression serious: "Do it! No, please let me do it!"

It may be because she was too excited, her voice was exceptionally loud, which attracted the attention of many people around.

The aura that the girl who discovered this has finally shrunk again...

——Six hours later——

"I really trouble you today." Shalan walked down the street where the lights were on.Thanks to Alina next to her.

Just like what Elina said, the remaining chores for the Celestial Sphere Conference are very heavy. Originally, the Chamber of Commerce seemed to plan to hire a few more temporary workers to do it together. The so-called five silver coins per hour refers to those temporary workers' salaries. Sum.It was only because of Alina's proposal that Sharan was finally left alone in charge, and of course all the rewards were given to Shalan.

But even with the pure bloodline of the vampire royal family, the stamina and endurance far exceed that of most humans, but the remaining work is too complicated, and Saran will not be able to do it. Soon she found that she was alone even if she didn’t rest. It is also difficult to complete all the work in six hours.

At this time, Alina, who was still on vacation, also changed into work clothes and began to help her.It is precisely because of the help of Alina, who is a rank two magic swordsman, who is much better physically than ordinary people, and Saran finally completed the work within the time limit without any risk and received a generous payment. .

"It's okay, anyway, I didn't know what to do today. It would be nice to be able to get enough exercise." Alina was sipping the juice from the stall while moving her aching arm with interest. Asked Shalan: "Compared to this, what gift do you plan to buy for Mr. Adric?"

Every girl hides a heart of gossip, even Alina can't make exception for this sentence.

"What do you think of this?" Sharan picked up a string of silver bracelets from a stall on the side of the road. The main body of the bracelet was a blue orb. Although I don't know what the material is, it looks crystal clear and very beautiful.

"Uh, this kind of thing is more suitable for girls?" Alina said hesitantly looking at Shalan who was so in love with the chain.

"That's right." Saran put down the bracelet regretfully, her shoulders drooping.

Seeing how disappointed the other party was, Alina couldn't help but encourage her: "Which, in fact, bracelets and earrings are different. There is no rule that they must be worn by men or women, so it should be fine to buy them. ."

"Really! The boss, help me wrap this up!" So Shalan picked up a pink, more feminine bracelet and said to the stall owner.

Mr. Elidec, I am sorry for you.

Alina secretly apologized to Xiwei in her heart, and began to look forward to Xiwei's expression when she received this gift... (Your support is welcome, which is my biggest motivation.) RV!!!
