The Dean Has Arrived Chapter 178: Gift

Because tomorrow is the opening day of the Celestial Ball Competition, all the work she can do is almost done, and the rest is some heavy chores, which has nothing to do with her, plus Xiwei has already notified her in advance yesterday I won't come to Golovito today if I have something to do, so on the eve of the celestial contest, the girl had a short vacation instead. (Net m full text novel update fastest)

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

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

Go shopping like a normal girl? Because I spent a lot of time with Xiwei and Shalan before, I am not interested in running into the crowd to crowd the Chapter 178 presents.

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 ran into Saran on the road.

The blue-haired girl walking in the crowd didn't seem to notice Alina's sight. 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 Saran: "Miss Saran!"

The expression on Saran's face, who was initially absent-minded, was taken aback, and then she raised her head and looked around before discovering Alina who was not far away from her.

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

"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 in high spirits today."

"Nothing." Like a **** child, Saran stubbornly rejected Alina's temptation, and turned her face aside from the gift of Chapter 178: "I didn't because of the uncle. I feel lonely when I'm not here."

"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 Sivi used to say about Saran in the past 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 go around the city casually?"

"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, but because of the attitude of serving customers that I have cultivated in the past, Alina also stopped and replied seriously: "It should be considered quite familiar. After all, I have also 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 the rare silver-haired girl in casual clothes in front of her say this, Saran immediately approached the girl with interest, widening her almond color Shui Yingying looked at her in her eyes.

Although Saran did not consciously, in fact she had unconsciously activated some special spell-like ability ‘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 started 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 Cage left her and the pocket money Sevi gave her—a total of five silver coins.

"Not much, but 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 **** and recycle old items, although most of the 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 all kinds of things like a garbage dump. (.)

But Alina dismissed those antiques that looked stale. 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, and on the end of the book, there are illegible swashes written in black paint.

Then she took a few more books at random and clamped the red book.

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

The uncle who still has 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. Go ahead."

Unlike other antiques, unless it is a magic book, books and other things generally don’t sell for a big 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 **** shop with Shalan who was confused, and came to an alley with few pedestrians.

"What's wrong? What did you do?" Sharan asked Alina hurriedly after leaving the **** shop without knowing what happened.

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 be sold for about one to ten gold coins. "

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

"This is a magic book written in 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 comparisons after recording Special magic encrypts it, although even some appraisers can’t distinguish it. But as long as it can be interpreted, its value can be increased hundreds of times.” Alina explained patiently to Saran: "Although the total amount of this kind of books is not large, the accumulation of books in many **** shops in Golovito can make many libraries feel uncomfortable. If you look for them carefully, you are likely to find this category. 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 field of vision.

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

"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 can only squat down with a wry smile and read the dusty books that have 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 Sharan's expectant gaze a little 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 pages had disappeared: "Although I don't deny that I may have misunderstood, the chances of making mistakes in this type of relatively easy identification are not high. "

"Woo. Why..." Saran felt depressed all of a sudden.

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

Just now, she wanted to teach Saran some tricks to distinguish magic books, but before she said anything, the blue-haired girl rushed out by herself. If she could find the magic books, it would be unscientific... …

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

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

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

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

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

As a hotel guest, 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 at this time. 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 is 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.

Alina is not good at this, but when working for the Chamber of Commerce, she will inevitably encounter all kinds of entertainment, and there is no lack of this kind of meeting on the table, so for the gambling girl Still have some experience.

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 the chips on the go, but she will use some chips to test, wait until she is familiar with and has the confidence to win, and then she suddenly puts all the chips to make a big profit. Immediately change to other gambling methods.

"How about it, it's easy, right?" After winning another round, Alina turned around and said to Sharan: "Although I rely on a little technique, this kind of thing is lucky and observable. It accounts for a bit higher proportion."

Seeing Saran who was still silent, Alina thought 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. How to do it."

"Go back."

There was a moment of silence before Saran whispered.

"Don't try, Russian roulette is black and white, but there is a 50% chance that you can double the chips?" 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, in fact at that time the girl didn't feel much about money. I just think gambling is fun.

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

The two looked at each other in the noisy surroundings as if no one else.

After a long while, Alina chuckled.

Saran frowned her brows for unknown reasons.

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

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

"Wh, 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. The work can be exchanged for thirty silver coins."

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

"Although thirty silver coins are really not too many, there is no way to buy too luxurious things, but a well-made tie, a delicate and durable quill pen, and a beautiful staff cover are also good gifts. No. Right?"

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 Obviously he didn't say that he should give the uncle a gift!"

"Because your expression is too obvious." Alina suddenly felt that this unfamiliar girl wanted to work hard to do something for others is really cute: "There is no way to hide you. 'S thoughts."

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

"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 Saran raised her face and tried her best to make her expression serious: "Do it! No, please let me do it!"

Maybe because she was overly excited, her voice was exceptionally loud, which attracted the attention of many people around her.

The aura that the girl who discovered this was so hard to mention immediately shrank again...

——Six hours later——

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

As Alina 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 The sum of temporary wages. It was only because of Alina's proposal that Saran was finally left alone in charge, and of course all the remuneration was given to Saran.

But even if you have a pure bloodline of the vampire royal family, your stamina and endurance are far beyond that of most humans, but the remaining work is too complicated, and Saran doesn’t know how to do it. Soon she found out that she was alone even if she didn’t. Taking a break, it is difficult to finish 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 second-tier magic swordsman, who has much better physical fitness than ordinary people, that Saran finally completed the work within the time limit without any risk and received a generous payment. .

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

Every girl hides a heart of gossip. Even Alina can't make an exception to this sentence~IndoMTL.com~ How do you think about 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 azure 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, right?" Alina said hesitantly looking at Sharan who was so fond of 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: "Well, in fact, bracelets and earrings are different. There is no rule that they must be worn by men or women, so there should be no way to buy them. The problem is right."

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

Mr. Eli Deck, I'm sorry for you.

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