Earning
At this moment, Alex suddenly hear sound in head and looked dumbfounded blue screen that appear in front of his eyes...
[Ding! Gained Exp Points: 100 ]
Huh!!
'Finally, finally, I got my cheat! Now I don't have to live a normal life anymore!'
He rejoiced inwardly.
After calming himself hepicks herbs, then ran through the forest and started to feel his stamina drop around 5 minutes into the run. He saw a glimmering plant in the way and smiled. He didn't stop, but he knew that it was a Glimmer root, which meant he was likely on the right path.
He kept running. He didn't skimp on any energy this time. He was truly running for his life. He hoped that he wouldn't run into the wolf or any other monsters on the way like now .
He saw the trees thinning out in a short while. He kept running until he was no longer in the forest. He dashed out of the last trees of the forest. He was now in the open. The sun was just setting. If he was in the forest any longer, he would have to survive the already dangerous forest in the dark. The nocturnal animals would eat him alive.
He stopped running after he felt the forest was far enough. He slowed down to a walk, slowly recovering his breath. He made his way to the city.
"The market might close soon. I have to go!"
Since the sun was setting, the people at the market usually wrapped up at this time.
Throughout the stressful day, he never let go of the basket that held the star roots. He had 23 of them, which would give him 230 bronze coins. It would give him some time to rest without doing work to figure out what happened to him and the system.
With money involved, He suddenly gained a lot of energy. He sprinted to the market. When he got there, he saw that people were starting to pack their stalls up. He ran to where Victor's stall had been that morning. Victor's stall was still there, and Victor was sitting there.
He let out a breath of relief. He walked to Victor with a glare. Victor saw his condition. While there were no visible wounds on him, his rags were completely unusable, and his face looked incredibly weary.
"You must have had a hell of a day," Victor remarked.
"Almost died," Alex shot back.
Victor shook his head. "I told you, didn't I? You took the risk, and you did it. How many roots could you find?"
Alex put the basket onto the stall. He took out the stalks of star root. Victor looked at them.
"These are good. That's 23 of them?" Victor confirmed their authenticity.
He nodded.
Victor reached into his purse and took out coins.
"230 bronze coins. Go buy yourself some better clothes." Victor handed the coins to Alex.
He slipped the coins into his pocket.
"I will. Thanks for the work." Alex thanked him. Normally a day's work would give him a few bronze coins. It was very apparent that he was an orphan so he wouldn't be paid the right amount. This was the first time he had earned so much money at once. 230 bronze coins would last him and Aella an entire month. He could also alternatively buy himself and Aella a few pairs of clothes while trying to find other work to get him food.
"This is fine work. Do you want more work?" Victor asked Alex.
Alex shook his head. "Not anytime soon. I almost died. It's too dangerous for me."
Victor laughed. "I am not surprised. Maybe you could learn an mana gathering method from a guild and join guild become an adventurer. You could earn a lot more that way."
"How about this? Mana gathering methods are pretty common. They cost around thousand silver Coins. Good ones are more expensive, but the basic ones should be enough. Save up to that amount and I'll sell you one. Then you can see if you have the talent to become an martial art. If you become an magician, you can earn more than a few thousand silver coins." Victor offered an opportunity to him.
Alex smiled bitterly. "When I have a thousand silver coins, we can have the discussion again. I'll see you again if I need another job."
Hmmp mana gathering method who need it,when you have system i will become strongest in this world and marry beautiful wife hehe heh...Alex said in his mind..
