"People grow up. Now when I think about what I did when I was 16 or 17 years old... How should I put it? If I had the ability to transcend time, I really want to go back and kick that person in the face."
"At that time, I was just pursuing individuality and taking revenge on society, but now I have grown up."
Most people have a so-called rebellious period, like the non-mainstream in the 1990s. People who are already thirty look back at their past selves and the texts in their QQ spaces. How many of them are not ashamed
Just like everyone has a middle school age, when looking back, they can only feel helpless and amused, and even delete their previous logs and posts overnight.
I will never forget this day. Looking back on it ten years from now, I may even have forgotten what happened that year, let alone that day.
"Oh..." Richard opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
It seemed that ever since he wanted to see his daughter, he never saw her and kept causing trouble for her.
I am such a failure...
"You, being safe and stable is better than anything else." Alita said: "How about it, do you have a job you want to do? I will arrange a security guard job for you at school?"
"You don't need to worry about me." Richard seemed relieved after hearing what Alita said: "I'll go to the Adventurer's Guild, where your mother used to work. They seem to be short of a janitor."
"Well, it suits you very well, but you earn a little less." Alita said.
"It's okay. Just buy some cheap wine. That's enough. Those expensive wines are not for adventurers to drink."
… …
After seeing Richard off, the two walked on the campus, attracting a lot of attention.
Alita is tall and has a commanding figure, and her temperament is completely different from the gloomy person she was in the laboratory.
It seemed as if she walked with the wind, attracting countless students' attention.
"Who is that?"
"I don't know. There are no teachers like this in other schools."
"Is he someone's parent?"
"Being with Caruso, could she be Caruso's stepmother?"
"Well, it's possible that he's Caruso's lover."
"What are your plans for me?" Alita breathed in the fresh air, felt the sunshine, and felt like she was reborn.
="Stay at school for now and be the card-making consultant for the Kolia family. Original cards need to be labeled with the Kolia family's label. Research and make them according to the directions we provide." Carlos said: "Refuse to serve other noble forces, but you can continue to participate in the work of the school and the Alchemy Alliance."
This is the method used by many professors. They are usually professors and teach normally, but they also cooperate with many noble chambers of commerce and serve as consultants to help develop cards.
Like Kongbai, they are not only the deans of the academy, but also the card-making consultants of the royal family.
The card draw research conducted by the royal family was led by these two people, but unfortunately it was intercepted by Caruso.
"That's fine." Alita nodded: "I haven't taught students for a long time, I don't know if they have regressed."
As she spoke, she lit a thin cigarette and put it in her mouth. Apart from her clothes, she didn't look like a teacher at all.
"You are also a card maker. Do you need me to give you private lessons?" Alita said and winked at Caruso.
"Yes, my schoolwork is a little bit behind, and Professor Bai wants to give me extra lessons for a while. After her lessons are over, I will also need your guidance." Carlos said.
"Tsk, serious little brats are the most annoying." Alita rolled her eyes at Caruso.
[Fuck, the tutor series, is it so exciting? ]
[Alita is an old driver. She likes to smoke, drink, fight and read pornographic publications.]
[Half of the books on her room's bookshelf are censored]
[Although she smokes, drinks, dances, fights, and reads pornographic publications, she is a good girl... ]
[There is no other way. If we add this ridiculous setting, the planner will be put in a sack.]
"The salary is 1,000 magic crystals per year. When we need you to work full-time, it will be raised to 3,000 magic crystals per year." Carlosuo said, "You are not allowed to join other forces, and you must get permission to take private jobs."
Card makers are high-end talents in this world, so there are definitely more restrictions, just like some researchers have to sign confidentiality agreements when doing research.
The confidentiality agreement in this world is definitely more rigorous than that in the world where the barrage exists. After all, if it is illegal in that world, there is still a possibility of escape. If this world uses that kind of high-end confidentiality agreement, becoming an idiot after breaching the contract would be the least of your worries.
As a consultant, she earned a million dollars a year. When she only worked for Kolia, her annual salary increased to three million dollars. It was definitely a high-paying job.
Although Caruso helped her to untie her knot and spent a huge sum of money to cure her father's leg, Caruso knew that he could not use moral kidnapping to force people to be loyal, otherwise he would not be able to retain talent.
If you want to go long term, you still have to provide enough benefits.
Helping her father heal his leg is equivalent to giving him extra benefits when poaching people.
"You will probably have your own power in the future, right?" Alita took a deep puff of her cigarette.
"Yes." Caruso nodded: "I can tell you the truth. I can mobilize a division of troops now."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Alita seemed to be choked by the smoke and started coughing violently: "What did you say? A division?"
There were many nobles in the school, including many sons of grand dukes and more than one prince.
However, the people these people can mobilize are the people they can mobilize themselves. It would be good if they could have a group, and that has to be trained by the next successor.
What's wrong with this kid? Can he mobilize an entire division
Wait, you are a person who can mobilize an entire division, but you personally go to the dungeon to adventure, is there anything wrong with your brain
"That's right." Caruso's eyes were on Alita: "But I can't afford the military expenses of a division now. The army still has to be supported by my father. When I have my own city, I will consider paying the soldiers myself. Therefore, I only have the ability to dispatch them, and their loyalty is still to my father."
"How much does a division cost per year?" Alita murmured.
*"Three hundred million coins, this is the cost of daily operations." Carlosso said: "When fighting, there will be expenses for departure, battlefield subsidies, double pay during wartime, death and injury pensions, and the cost of purchasing weapons and ammunition."
"I don't need to buy tanks or other weapons, they are all ready-made. Otherwise, I would have spent even more money."
"Besides, this division has no aircraft or airships, let alone aircraft carriers."
"Three hundred million coins, just for daily operations..." Alita's cigarette was burned to the bottom, and she didn't even realize it: "Is it so exciting?"
“So I’m in great need of talent, and also money.”
"You can't make that much even if you sell me..." Alita swallowed her saliva: "I was going to suggest you open a card store. I have connections near the school... With me here, you can make a net profit of 1.8 million coins a year. In the end, you told me you need 300 million?"
"We need at least thirty S-level card makers, and we have to ensure that they don't cause any trouble, in order to barely maintain the funding."
"Let's not talk about anything else. How many card makers are there above S level? Take your Canglang Province for example. There are only two or three S-level card makers in a province, right?"
"I know two." Carlosuo said, "Don't worry, this is not a problem you need to consider. I will take care of it. You are a card maker, not my economic and military advisor."
Chapter 98 Installed
"Well, following a little brat like you, I feel a little stressed." Alita threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it with her foot: "You know how much the military budget is at such a young age?"
"I calculated it myself." Carlosuo said, "Isn't this a basic course?"
"No normal person would think about military spending. This is not basic at all." Alita said a little madly.
|~She still thought that she was the older sister, and since Carlos worked so hard for her, she should give him something in return.
Now it seems that she can't give anything in return to Caruso, so she should just do her job well.
She couldn't even imagine making 300 million a year.
"Theresa and I have studied it. We both have taken this course, but Nimer certainly hasn't." Caruso touched his chin.
[Hahahaha, Alita is convinced]
[Boss Ka calmly said that he could mobilize a division. It feels so cool]
[Mr. Ka is not pretending, he is just honest, he really has… ]
[With a military expenditure of 300 million, it seems that there are no powerful weapons or anything like that]
[This world is still mostly based on cards, and weapons and the like are a bit steampunk, so it can’t be considered the same as our world]
[Yes, in our world, how much would this flexible robotic arm be worth? A cheap robotic arm here can be bought for five or six thousand coins, but it cannot be guaranteed to be safe to use.]
"I'll go find the principal first. I have to tell him that it's time for the school's third S-class student to start class." Alita adjusted her mood and put her hands in her pockets.
I don’t understand the world of aristocrats.
Shiro had mentioned before that there were only two S-rank card-making teachers in the entire academy, her and Sora, and this was purely because Alita didn't attend the class.
If Alita attends the class, the school will have three S-level card-making teachers.
"Well, I will talk to my father about the contract and let him find someone to sign it. Is that ok?" Carlosso said.
{#"No problem." Alita waved her hand: "But let me be clear, I serve Carlosso Kolya, not the entire Kolya family. I will not agree to some excessive requests."
"rest assured."
… …
Caruso came to the telegraph room and sent a telegram to Grand Duke Osiris.
Osiris was in the office at this time. His subordinates told him that there was a telegram from home, and he was confused for a moment.
As a result, after seeing the content of the telegram, Osiris fell silent.
He put the telegram on the table and frowned.
Caruso, what's going on with this kid
He invented the card that can draw cards before. It can be said that he is gifted and lucky, but now...
Recruiting an S-level card maker? Did he get the teacher's child pregnant
In the entire Canglang Province, there are only three S-level card makers, and not a single S+ one.
Among these three card makers, one is hidden secretly and no one else knows about it.
In such a large province, Osiris controls an army of thirty divisions, but there are only three card-making divisions.
And Caruso, it’s only been a short time since he started school, and he has done something big again
Osiris will definitely agree to Alita's conditions.
}> For other card makers, Alita's price is really cheap and the requirements are really few.
Osiris could only think that Alita was middle-aged and her child was made pregnant by Caruso, otherwise how could he recruit her
"Red." Osiris said lightly.
"Here." Red stood behind Osiris and responded.
"Check this person called Alita." Osiris rubbed his temple and said, "If there is no problem, sign a contract with her."
"After that, Caruso promised that her salary would be provided by the Canglang Province."
"yes."
"Also, send an expert to the capital to protect Caruso and Alita. If Alita has any good research results, I'm afraid they need to be sent to the Canglang Province to ensure their safety."
Osiris instinctively wanted to believe in Caruso's vision and ability.
If Caruso is willing to recruit and the other party agrees, something must have happened in between.
"yes."
"Red, I think my son will have a great future." Osiris smiled. "After going to school, besides studying, he is always thinking about his career. This is my son."
"The young master is the most like you." Red said softly.
"If one day, I am no longer here..." Osiris took a deep breath.
"Grand Duke, I will protect your safety with my life." Red said solemnly.
Osiris closed his eyes and tapped the table gently: "He is still a little young. It is a bit early to make a decision now. Let's go and do things first."
"yes."
… …
Seeing that the Archduke agreed, Caruso did not think much about it, but returned to the dormitory and wrote down what happened in the dungeon. He did not say anything that should not be said, but only said that he was lucky and noticed that something was wrong with the monsters.
Caruso did not mention what happened afterwards.
After doing all this, Caruso went to class as usual.
The current situation in Class S is a bit weird. Caruso is clearly in this class, but he has only attended a few classes since the start of the school year. Every time he enters the class, everyone feels fresh.
"Brother Caruso, you're back!" Elena waved at Caruso excitedly.
