Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 82: Where the lights are dim

"That's all your work for today. Here's your wages." Kaka took out six gold coins and handed them to Iyas.

Six gold coins lay in her slightly wrinkled hands. Iyas was so distracted from washing dishes that she couldn't even feel the weight of the gold coins.

She originally thought she was just washing dishes, but it ended up taking her four hours.

At the beginning, there were only a few plates and they could be washed in no time, but as time went on and the number of customers increased, piles of plates formed small mountains in front of her, and the more she washed, the more plates there were.

Gradually, Iyas began to regret agreeing to Yang Yu's job to wash dishes for the store.

But no matter how much she complained, an agreement was an agreement, and facing the boss's daughter's urging and the clattering of plates, she could only swallow her anger and work silently.

Four hours later, she finally finished her work and got the money.

The first thing she did when she came to her senses was to take the gold coins, run to the first floor, and slap them hard in front of Yang Yu.

"Why didn't you tell me that it would take so long to wash!"

"You agreed so readily without asking, I thought you could do it." Yang Yu said jokingly: "How is it, are you happy with your first job?"

"This is terrible! If I knew magic, I could wash the dishes in no time, but unfortunately I don't! This money should be more than enough to pay for this meal!"

Looking at the hard-earned gold coins on the table, Iyas actually developed an indescribable feeling for them.

It was a love-hate feeling. Love because it was the first reward she earned through her own efforts, and hate because the money would soon disappear.

This kind of feeling was something Iyas had never experienced before. It was not like there was no money in her village, and it was not like she had never touched money before, so she could not understand why she had such a special feeling.

Now she only hopes that the money will not be used up and that some will be left for her as a souvenir.

But her fantasy was ruthlessly shattered by Yang Yu again.

"Do you think these six gold coins are enough to pay for this meal?" Yang Yu sneered, raised his hand and called Kaka, "Check out, how much is the total?"

Kaka glanced at Yang Yu, calculated carefully, and then said, "A total of 802 gold coins, I'll round off the zero for you, a total of 800."

Yang Yu lined up eight gold coins with a face value of one hundred on the table.

The purchasing power of currency in this world is very similar to the world Yang Yu originally lived in. Although people call them gold coins, "gold coins" are more like the currency unit rather than the composition of the coin.

Just like 10 US dollars, people really don’t use knives as currency, it’s just a monetary unit.

But the "gold coin" is not completely a lie. As long as the face value of the coin is over 100, it will contain more or less real gold. The larger the face value, the higher the purity. The largest face value Laux coin is even made of real 24k pure gold.

As for the "gold coins" with a face value of less than 100, they are made of ordinary metals, and in order to look good, they are coated with a layer of gold that is not easy to fade.

There are obvious differences between each type of gold coin, which can be seen by simply weighing them.

Kaka put away the eight heavy gold coins, gave Yang Yu a receipt, and left while secretly watching.

Iyas was stunned, looking at the gold coins not far away with mixed feelings.

I can't believe that the money she worked so hard to earn can't even afford a meal. What's the point of her working so hard

Yang Yu pushed the "gold coins" to Iyas, "Take them well, this is the reward for your hard work today. Now, I believe many of your questions have been answered!"

undeniable.

Yias took out the gold coin that Yang Yu gave her and compared it with the gold coin at hand.

The qualities of the two gold coins are completely at different levels. I never thought that this small gold coin has so much knowledge, and the numbers on it are not just for decoration.

"Teaching by example can help people understand more, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. The story of currency is more than that. I will teach you these slowly."

"Wait! I have another question! You work so long, but you can't even afford one tenth of dinner." After putting all the gold coins into her pocket, Iyas said with a serious expression, "I don't believe that everyone works like this. Otherwise, how can you eat and drink with peace of mind!"

"Didn't you just say that if you knew magic, you could wash those dishes in an instant. Although it's cruel, someone else's instant is likely to be equal to your four hours."

As he spoke, Yang Yu stood up and looked at the small town shrouded in the night outside the hotel, with a hint of greed on his face.

"It's getting late, let's start the second class!"

Ada and A'Luo are twin brothers. They look similar to each other, both of them are strong and sturdy.

The only difference is that the elder brother Ada has a scar on his right eyebrow, which was left from a duel with a monster in the dungeon. It is also his honor.

That’s right, they are adventurers, B-level adventurers at that.

Generally speaking, when one's strength reaches their level, few people would accept missions from the Adventurer's Guild, and the same goes for Ada and A'lo.

Rather than doing thankless tasks, they prefer exploring dungeons, or underground mazes.

There are dangerous monsters there, and defeating them will bring you generous rewards. Not given by anyone, but defeated monsters will drop a lot of gold coins, and sometimes, equipment.

If you can find rare or above equipment in a dungeon, you can often sell it for a high price, which is not comparable to completing quests in the Adventurer's Guild.

The stories of ordinary adventurers who obtain epic equipment, become rich overnight, become CEOs, marry beautiful and wealthy women, and reach the pinnacle of their lives are constantly circulated among adventurers.

As the saying goes, when the wind blows, even pigs can fly.

This time, Ada and A Luo happened to catch the opportunity and discovered a new underground city in the place where they often went.

The new dungeon also means that people like them who are at the bottom of the B-level adventurer food chain can also get a piece of the pie.

In fact, they also relied on their own strength and luck to reap a lot of rewards on the first level of the dungeon.

However, in order to avoid being targeted by adventurers with ill intentions and who wanted to kill and rob, they took advantage of the small number of people and secretly took the exploded equipment to Chuanyang City to cash in and make a small fortune.

Carrying the heavy gold coins, the two men became greedy again and returned along the original route at night to see if they could get some benefits from the newly discovered underground city.

It was late at night and the two passed through a small town.

The town was brightly lit, and Ada and Alo had no intention of stopping until they saw a female elf with fluttering blonde hair at the end of the lights.

I'm out today, so the update is late
