"You took the money, why don't you go to school by public carriage?" Klein was reminded of what happened in the morning.

Melissa frowned slightly and said, "Why do you need to take a public carriage? It costs 4 pence to go to school, and 8 pence to go back and forth. Counting you and Benson, we have to spend 24 pence a day on the public carriage, a total of 2 soli. , a week, um, not counting Sundays, it is 12 soli, which is roughly equal to our rent!"

Stop, stop, don't show off your math proficiency... Klein lowered his hand amusedly.

Melissa paused first, and then added: "It's fine for me to walk to school. The teacher said that everyone should exercise regularly, and I can pick up some broken parts on the way."

Klein chuckled and said, "Then let's do the math again. The cost of the stagecoach is 12 soli, and the rent is 12 soli and 3p. The total is only 1 pound 4 soli and 3p. It can be paid with Benson's salary. There is a lot of surplus, um, he has received last week�s salary... and I can still receive 1 pound 10 soli a week, even if I eat meat every day, even if I count the expenses of gas, coal, wood, seasoning, etc., in If you are a little frugal for lunch, you still have some leftovers, and you can even subscribe to the morning newspaper, which is only 1 penny a day."

"After two months, when I make up the advance salary, I can save money to buy new clothes for Benson and you."

"But, but, we have to consider accidents." Melissa insisted on the same point of view.

Klein looked at her with a smile and said, "Then we can eat less meat. Don't you think spending fifty, no, one hundred minutes on the road every day is a waste of time? You can definitely use it to read more books and think more problem, improve your grades more.�

"In this way, Melissa, you can graduate with excellent grades and find a job with a good salary. Then, what are you worried about?"

"..."

Using his previous experience in debating with people in forums, he finally persuaded Melissa to let her agree to take a public carriage to school.

Phew, I finally stopped being fooled, no, how could it be called fooling, this is called convincing people with reason... Klein slandered, took the vegetables bought by Melissa, and sighed: "Remember to buy beef, mutton, or chicken tomorrow... Only by eating well and eating well can we have a healthy body and a smart brain to cope with difficult studies."

Just talking about it makes my mouth water...

Melissa pursed her lips and said silently for a few seconds, "Okay."

In the early morning of the next day, after supervising Melissa getting on the public carriage, Klein and Benson parted ways at the intersection and arrived at the company respectively.

As soon as Klein stepped through the gate, he saw Old Neil and Rosanne chatting at the reception desk. The former was still dressed in a classic black robe and didn't care about other people's eyes at all, while the latter changed into a bright yellow light long skirt.

"Good morning, Mr. Neil, Miss Roseanne." Klein took off his hat and saluted.

Old Neil glanced at him narrowly: "Good morning, didn't you hear anything you shouldn't have heard last night?"

"No, I slept well." Klein was also quite surprised by this.

He can only attribute it to the fact that his inspiration is not high enough...

"Haha, don't worry, it's actually not that easy to hear." Old Neil pointed to the partition and said, "Go to the armory and continue our 'occultism course' this morning."

Klein nodded, and followed Old Neil down the stairs, into the ground, to the armory, replacing Brett who was on duty last night.

"What do we need to learn today?" Klein asked curiously.

Old Neil hummed for a long time and said, "Complicated, basic knowledge, but before that, let me teach you an interesting technique."

He pointed to the silver chain wrapped around his wrist, and a pure white crystal hung from the top of the chain.

"Interesting trick?"

Klein asked very curiously.

Old Neil chuckled and said, "I'm going to inspect the weapons, materials, and archives. You use the two cups on the table to make two cups of coffee, and put something bad in one of them. You can decide for yourself what it is. Make up your mind, use your imagination, the only requirement is not to waste too much coffee powder, I hand-ground it with the coffee beans from the plateau!�

"Okay." Although Klein didn't quite understand what Old Neil wanted to do, he happily agreed. JrNovels.com
