"It's so boring..." Lorist said.

The table was messed up, and Lorist, who had just enjoyed a delicious meal, lazily leaned against the wall and sighed.

"Day, you're a super rich man now, don't just moan* about nothing, disgusting or not." Fatty Shi spat out the toothpick he was biting into, with a look of contempt on his face.

"Oh, fat man, why is my brother sick of you? Don't forget that the big meal you just ate was paid for by a customer invited by my brother. It is said that the hands of others are short, and the mouth of others is soft. You are fine, eat and drink enough. Turn your face and deny anyone." Anyway, Lorist didn't mind arguing with Fatty Shi because he was bored.

"Brother is not turning your face, brother is envious, jealous, or hate! Last year, you kid was running around for a few gold coins like us, but now, you kid can even buy a building, more than 5,000 gold coins , Without batting an eye, I bought it as soon as I said I would buy it. There are more than 40 rooms, and there are seven or eight gold coins in the account for renting each month. Why don’t you make us red-eyed! Terman, Yuri, Steve, Don’t you think so?” Fatty Shi began to draw alliances for himself.

Several people sitting at a nearby table nodded in agreement, thinking that Fatty Shi was right.

Yuri asked curiously, "Lock, how much money have you earned these past few months?"

Lorist thought for a while, then shook his head: "I really don't know how to count, but there are always seven or eight thousand. When El asked me if I was interested in taking over that building, I found out that I had already saved it when I got home." I bought so many gold dollar scrolls, and it’s useless to keep them, so I just bought that building.”

"Let me do the math for you." As soon as he mentioned Qian Shi, Fatty became excited: "In March and April, you swept across 27 colleges in the college district and won the college duel. The old man called you Go to the dean's office, and in the name of rewarding you with one hundred gold coins for winning a college, you got two thousand seven hundred gold coins, right?"

"Day, how did you know?" Lorist felt a toothache. The old man gave the bonus privately because he was afraid that the amount of the reward would be too large to make people jealous. How could the fat man know so well

"Don't worry about how I know, is there such a thing?" Fatty Shi was complacent, looking as if he knew everything.

Lorist nodded.

"That's the first payout, the next big ones are the challengers. In March it was 240, in April it was 360, in May it was 680, in June it was 700." People, there were 520 people in July last month, a total of 2,500 people. The financial department will settle the bill for you at the end of each month, and you will have three gold coins for each challenger. Seven thousand and five hundred gold coins. The sum is more than ten thousand, so this kid doesn't feel bad about spending so much money to buy a building." Fatty Shi remembered it in detail. ,

On the 1st, Lorist suddenly thought that Fatty Shi's law enforcement department also got 10% of the profit from the challenger, no wonder the calculation was so clear.

"Also, there have been 18 external challenge days this month. Although there are very few challengers who have signed up, the academy has decided to end this event when there are 3,000 challengers. The next morning is the external challenge day. , adding up to 380 challengers, as long as there are 120 more challengers, Locke will win 3,000. So he still has 1,500 gold coins in the financial department of the college."

Terman suddenly remembered something, and asked: "I heard that if Locke can win 3,000 games in a row, the academy will spend more than 1,000 gold coins to build a life-sized bronze statue of him in the academy as a commemoration. Is it true?"

"So what if it's true? The problem is that the thousand-odd gold coins are just for Little Locke's statue, not a bonus. It's for nothing. According to me, it's better to give the little Rock a thousand-plus gold coins as a bonus." , and then let Little Locke stand in the academy and act as a bronze statue when he has nothing to do, so everyone will be happy." Fatty Shi has always hated these face-saving projects that can't increase the thickness of his pocket, so he criticized the academy's move to give Lorist a statue.

"Get out, you're fine standing in the academy and pretending to be a bronze statue, and I'm not El." Lorist scolded with a smile. When he said this, everyone remembered the past when El went to the women's bathroom to pretend to be a plaster statue, and laughed together.

Fatty Shi continued to settle accounts for Lorist: "Little Locke's biggest income comes from the plates set up by El and the others. Although they haven't got them yet, there are very few people who buy Locke and lose now, but the plates will have to wait for the academy to end its activities. Check out. But the last time I checked the ledger with El, Locke still has at least 20,000 gold coins. Day! I can’t bear to think that this kid can sleep on the pile of gold coins in the future. The college will never earn so much money after all the hardships and hardships!" Fatty Shi was almost going crazy after the calculations.

"Hey hey hey, don't say you're fat and you'll be panting. The money I earn is from my life and death in the ring. Don't forget that you, a spectator, also earned a lot from my brother. Ten thousand Not having a few thousand gold coins is enough. Speaking of which, you are all rich men with thousands of gold coins. Can’t you afford a building or a small yard? Fatty, if you want to sleep on a pile of gold coins, you can do it Ah, when brother gets off the ring, you can go on." Lorist said.

"Day, brother, do you have the ability to return to the ring?" Fatty Shi said resentfully.

"Shut up if you can't stand it. You are jealous of this one and that one who talk nonsense every day. If you have this spare time, you might as well go back and practice hard. It is the right thing to be promoted to the gold rank as soon as possible. Brother Locke can earn so many gold coins because of him. It's not like you don't know how many risks you have experienced in the arena in the past few months. If you go up, who can be sure that you can survive a day? Black Iron Locke, Silver Invincible, is now a famous signboard in our city of Morente " A voice cut in, scolding Fatty Shi.

"Day, El, when is it your turn to teach brother a lesson..." Fatty Shi was furious and jumped up.

It was El who came, and he looked at Fatty Shi with squinting eyes and pursed lips: "Why, I'm not convinced, why don't we go to the backyard to practice?"

"My day..." Fatty Shi was discouraged, sat down resentfully, raised his wine glass and took a big gulp: "Brother is a civilized person, and I don't want to mess with the common sense of the society like you."

Two months ago, El's dark attribute battle qi was finally promoted to three silver stars, so he happily went to Lorist to compete, but the result was the same as before, the one who should get down still had to get down. But then El regained his balance on Fatty Shi, who told Fatty Shi to stand aside and talk nonsense during the competition between him and Lorist, which caused him to burn himself.

Fatty Shi had been promoted more than a year earlier than El, and seeing how easily Lorist beat Er down, he thought that he would have no problem dealing with this rookie who had just been promoted. Unexpectedly, El's dark-attribute grudge is much stronger than the normal-attribute grudge, coupled with the messy thieves' tricks that Er had figured out by himself, Fatty Shi was humiliated and humiliated three times. Fatty Shi was not convinced, and in the next month, he competed privately with El seven times. The result of the competition announced to the public was that Fatty Shi proposed that peace is the most important thing, but El refused.

"Here, everything is done." El handed Lorist a brown paper bag. This is a real paper bag made of cowhide, which contains a house deed, a management fee receipt and a tax certificate, as well as a few gold dollar rolls and a few gold coins.

El picked up a bottle of black plum wine on the table, uncorked the bottle without using a wine glass, and "gurgled" directly to the mouth of the bottle for a few gulps: "The name of the owner of the house has been changed to your name, and the management fee is a thousand dollars. Five cents, the tax is ten percent, and there will be no other charges in the future. The rest of the money is in the bag, you count it."

Lorist raised his glass: "Thanks, El."

"You're welcome, my brother."

This is the first real estate that Lorist bought for himself in Morente City. It is located in a concave-shaped building on Rose Avenue near the business district. It has a Gothic four-storey penthouse with twelve suites on each floor. It was originally the mansion of an earl of the Duchy of Mobia, but something happened to the duchy three months ago, and the earl was eager to sell the building for cash.

After getting the news, El remembered that Lorist had said that he wanted to buy a building, so he took Lorist to see it privately. Lorist thought it was good, so he entrusted El to buy the building on his behalf. The building originally worth more than 7,000 gold coins cost only 5,400. Lorist was very satisfied, but the tax of 10% of the real estate transaction value and the management fee of 5/1000 that had to be paid at the city hall later made Lorist My heart hurts. But what is consoling is that as long as these two fees are paid, this building truly belongs to Lorist, and there is no need to pay any taxes for this building until his death.

"What are you going to do with the building?" El asked.

"Leave it to Ledos. Isn't he building a club that specializes in providing labor services? I'm going to entrust the building to him, let him rent and manage it for me, and just give me half of the rent every month." Luo Rist said.

"Alright, I'll ask Ledos to sign a power of attorney and management agreement with you in the past two days." El nodded, expressing his approval of Lorist's idea.

"Uncle Locke, I also want a big chicken leg." The little girl Alisa ran over and shook Lorist's arm. She was playing with her brother Schwader in the backyard of the Red Crow Tavern just now.

Lorist's fellow villager, Bodfinger, a middle-aged mercenary at the peak of silver, spent more than two months in Lorist's house before recovering from his injuries. And the two children of Bodfinger are also deeply loved by Lorist. The boy, Schwader, is extremely sensible, loves to learn, and works hard. Bodfinger once saw Lorist instructing his attendant Reddy to practice swordsmanship, so he said that after a few years when Schwader awakened his grudge, he would learn swords from Lorist as his teacher.

Originally it was just joking, but Lorist asked him very seriously, did he really mean what he said just now? Bodfinger nodded inexplicably, and then saw Lorist called Schward over and asked him to kowtow three times to him, and then asked him to salute Reddy, so Schward couldn't help but become Lorist's second apprentice, his elder brother is the attendant Reddy.

As for the youngest daughter, Alyssa, she is even more precious to Lorist. Every time Lorist sees her, he always thinks of his little daughter from the previous life, so he loves Alyssa very much and responds to every request. They even specially hired a craftsman to convert the small attic into a small bedroom for the siblings, which made Alisa and Schwader very excited. The trouble made Bodfinger jealous, and his daughter kissed Uncle Locke instead of her father.

After Bodfinger recovered from his injury, he wanted to take the children away, but Lorist forcibly kept them there. There were many reasons. One was that the two children liked to stay here, and the living conditions were better. In any case, it was better than following Bodfinger. Running around is good. The second is that Shi Huade is already his apprentice, so there is no reason for the apprentice to leave the master. The third is that Bodfinger does not have a certain destination, and how can he take the children to endure hardships if he has not settled down? The last reason is extremely powerful. Whenever Bodfinger defeats himself, he can leave at any time.

Seeing that the two children overwhelmingly supported Lorist, Bodfinger had no choice but to agree to stay for a while longer, and take the children away when he found a stable place.

Lorist originally wanted to recommend Bodfinger to become a silver instructor at Dawn Academy, but Bodfinger rejected him because he didn't want to live in Morente City. Lorist couldn't force it, so he had to let him. Then he took him to the Red Crow Tavern, introduced Old Gall to him, and asked him to accept commissions from here in the future.

It is now August, and most of the professional disciplines of the academy are on vacation, but the Dou Qi Enlightenment class that Lorist is in charge of still has dozens of students undergoing final training, and they will awaken their Dou Qi at the end of the month. The young master of the Peterson family was also among them. The big fat man who used to weigh more than 370 kilograms managed to lose half of his weight after a hellish weight loss process, although he was still slightly overweight at 180 kilograms. , but it does not prevent him from awakening his grudge.

When President Peterson came to visit in private last month, he saw his precious son squatting in the bushes and wept with joy. When he was parting, he desperately took out the gold dollar scroll from his pocket to express his gratitude. If Lorist hadn't stopped him It's too early, maybe the reward of 3,000 gold dollars promised by President Peterson has already arrived. There were nine gold coin scrolls that President Peterson forced into Lorist's hand that day.

Galintia's academic system is very strange and very relaxed. There are two semesters each year, one long and one short. The long semester starts in March, and the holidays are from the end of July to the end of August. September is a festival to celebrate the harvest. This month is unshakeable s holiday. Then classes start on October 15th, the holiday ends on December 15th, and lasts until March of the following year. Lorist guessed that this may be because the people of Galintia had the custom of cat winter, which made this winter holiday so long.

In addition, Xiang Chenxi College claims to have more than 5,000 students, but in fact, it is already very good to have more than 2,000 students in each semester, and most of them are registered students. Or work part-time in the academy like Lorist did before. Or if you can’t make up enough tuition fees, you have to work part-time for a period of time until you have enough money before returning to the college to attend classes. Or they are greedy for the cheap rent of student housing, like the last time Fatty Shi led someone to inspect the student housing area and found that several couples had given birth to children and were still living in the student dormitory. After checking the information, they found that they were all veteran students five or six years ago , lived in the college before graduation and regarded the student dormitory as his home. In short, the college is extremely laissez-faire and free to its students, which sometimes makes Lorist feel that the college is not like a college, but more like a large community.

Just like El said, Lorist has really become a celebrity in Morente City now, Black Iron Locke, Silver Invincible. The famous black iron gold teacher of Chenxi Academy. There were even rumors that in the academy evaluation at the end of this year, Dawn Academy had finally climbed over the mountain of St. Marceau Academy and moved up one rank. Among them, Lorist's academy duel and the victory of sweeping the silver teachers of twenty-seven academies played a big role.

After July, there were fewer and fewer silver swordsmen from Dawn Academy who challenged Lorist, even if Dean Levins raised the bonus to 500 Gold Fords. Gary Lando, the owner of the Red Crow Tavern, said: "Five hundred gold coins look tempting, but you have to have the ability to get them. Instead of chasing this illusory wealth bubble, it is better to hold on to the real ten gold coins in your hand." .”

So Lorist felt a little bored, and the duel challenges for several months in succession had become a habit. Now that the challenger was gone, he was very uncomfortable. He felt that there was nothing to do, and he couldn't go out on adventures as a mercenary with his companions like before. After all, there are still things in the academy that are coming to an end. So today I brought my two children and Reddy, and called my friends from the college to the Red Crow Tavern for a big meal.

Lorist affectionately scratched the little nose of the little girl who was shaking her arm and acted like a spoiled child, Lorist said dotingly: "Okay, okay, Uncle Locke will give our little princess a big chicken leg."

Raising his head, Lorist shouted at the counter, "Madam, tell Madoff to serve us another plate of fried chicken legs."

Standing behind the counter was Louise, the former maid, who became the proprietress more than three months ago. After agreeing to marry Old Gall and going to the Temple of Michira to buy the recovery potion and take it, it was only three months since the marriage, and Elder Sister Louise became pregnant, which made everyone praise Gary Lando for being old and young, It's admirable to be able to get Louise pregnant at the age of almost sixty, and old Gal is very proud. On the contrary, El revealed to Lorist in private that the dead old man passed several bottles of Terrence donkey whip from him. If it doesn't work, it can only be said that the dead old man is too useless.

The fried golden fried chicken drumsticks were quickly delivered to the table. Alisa took two and said that she would bring one to her brother Schwader before bouncing towards the backyard. But after a while Alisa ran back and wanted to take two more.

"Huh? Alyssa, why are you eating so fast? Uncle just took two bites. Is it true that Alyssa's mouth is bigger than uncle's?" El teased the cute little girl.

"No, Alisa's mouth is so small, it's not as big as uncle's. The two chicken legs Alisa gave to a beggar just now, he is so pitiful." The little girl pouted and said dissatisfied with El She has a big mouth.

Lorist took two more fried chicken legs and handed them to the little girl: "Don't give these two chicken legs to the beggar again. If he wants to be pitiful, he can just ask brother to give him two copper coins."

The little girl took the chicken legs and replied innocently: "But my brother has already given him all the money. My brother said that he is also from the Northland. He came to Morente City to find a young master named Norton Lolit, Louise. The aunt said she had never heard of this name, and gave him a bowl of oatmeal porridge out of pity, and Alisa gave him chicken legs because she saw that he had no food."
