Interstellar: Start as a cleaner.

Chapter 707 Donation
"500 gold coins?" Yang Bo asked in surprise.

"Don't underestimate any knight. They all have some collections at home. This bow is of little use to their family now because they have no archers."

"And privately transferring credits is also an unspoken rule. Today, your credit is only one and a half cavalrymen. The credit you shot at the warhorse can only be counted as half."

"On the battlefield, a complete credit can only be achieved if the enemy is at least rendered incapacitated or seriously injured," Locke explained.

"So what do you think, sir?" Yang Bo did not make a decision on his own, but pretended not to understand and asked.

"In fact, the entire military circle is also divided into many small gangs, mainly based in cities, like our Green City, which is also a small group in the military."

"It is certainly a good thing for our Green City to have one more noble, even if he is the lowest noble." Locke did not answer directly, but began to introduce.

"Then I agree." Yang Bo understood what the other party meant.

"In fact, half of your contribution is enough. The caravan gave a reward of 500 gold coins this time. The eight knights who arrived first, including you, received 8 gold coins. The remaining 300 gold coins are for the infantry who came later."

"Perhaps you are wondering why we give 200 gold coins to the infantry. That's because we cavalry still have to cooperate with the infantry during the battle. In addition, the wounded in the caravan can be treated because of the arrival of the infantry."

"One hundred of our three hundred gold coins should be given to other superiors, because the command of this rescue was issued by the superiors."

"Maybe you will feel strange." Locke said to Yang Bo.

Yang Bo was not surprised at all. People who eat alone will be ostracized by everyone and die early.

Besides, this kind of thing requires the command system to react quickly enough.

If anyone thinks that all the credit is his own, then the next time the superior commander will send him alone to rescue the caravan.

"I don't understand these principles, but what the commander said is right." Yang Bo said quickly, not wanting to listen to Locke's nagging.

"So this time you get one and a half cavalry merit rewards, 30 gold coins from the caravan, and 50 gold coins from Knight Kate. This time you get a total of 80 gold coins. These are gold notes from the Wharton Company and can be exchanged at any time."

"The caravan reward is 200 gold coins, and one knight's merit is 20 gold coins. Although you sold the other merit, the reward you deserve still needs to be given. Seven merits is 7 gold coins, and the remaining 140 gold coins need to be distributed among your colleagues."

"One of my colleagues didn't get any credit and was injured. We must give him some credit as well. After all, we all charge together and we are brothers in life and death."

"As for the bow, I will give it to you after maintenance. As for me personally, I will reward you with 30 armor-piercing arrows this time." Locke said.

"In addition, the identities of these robbers are still being further verified. If they are wanted criminals, there may be a reward. In addition, the robbers' spoils will be disposed of later, and there will be money to be taken at that time. I wonder if you are interested in the spoils?" Locke asked again.

"Sir, I'm not interested." Yang Bo has no plans to be a cavalryman for the time being, mainly because the mount is too expensive.

The cost of one cavalryman is equal to that of supporting one hundred people. First of all, a knight usually has more than one horse, at least two.

The pay for horse grooms is very high. A skilled groom can get paid twenty times more than an average person, in addition to equipment.

The value gap between cavalry and infantry is equivalent to the gap between infantry and armored vehicles on Earth.

This is still ordinary cavalry. If it is heavy cavalry, then the value difference is equivalent to that of a tank and an ordinary soldier.

Of course, the lives of ordinary soldiers are also priceless.

This is just the cost of maintenance. The cavalry mounts themselves are divided into many grades, and the top-level cavalry mounts can be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins.

Not to mention the supporting facilities such as stables and horse farms.

"Thank you, sir." Yang Bo calculated in his mind that 80 gold coins could be exchanged for 1.6 million credit points in the Blue Water Empire.

"Tsk tsk!" Yang Bo never thought that making money was so easy.

“Do you feel like the money is coming in quickly?”

"But you have to know that this is also risking your life."

"This is also why the caravan can offer a reward of 500 gold coins. If they don't offer enough money as a reward, no one will be in a hurry to rescue them next time." Locke said again earnestly.

"Thank you for your instruction, sir." Yang Bo nodded.

"Your half cavalry merit is enough for you to be promoted to a higher level. I will report it and I believe you will be promoted soon."

"Thank you, sir."

"Go back and have a good rest. You don't have to patrol for the next week."

"But you still have to practice archery well. A sharpshooter is welcome everywhere." Locke instructed Yang Bo again.

"Handy, good job!"

"Handy, I didn't expect you to be so good at archery."

"Thanks for the compliment. I'll buy you all a drink when we get a chance."

As Yang Bo walked along, his colleagues greeted him warmly.

"Next time something like this happens, please take me with you!" Adam's eyes turned green when he heard that Yang Bo earned 30 gold coins, and he said solemnly.

Yang Bo did not hide it because the matter would spread quickly, and other people would also tell it when he patrolled with Adam in the future.

"I will donate some of these 30 gold coins to the academy."

"Why give it to the academy?"

“This is like giving back to my alma mater.”

“How much do you plan to donate?”

"I'll donate 20 gold coins."

"Are you crazy!"

"Do you know how much 20 gold coins cost? 4 million credit points." "Oh, how can you be so fussy as a rich young man?"

"Your alliance is full of weirdos."

Yang Bo really donated 20 gold coins to the college, and Dean Eddie was very happy: "Handy, good job."

Yang Bo laughed in his heart. How many students can graduate from a college? Those who donated money to the school in their previous life, did they really think they had a lot of money? Did they really think they wanted to give back to their alma mater?

Among the many people who come out of a school, there are many who have reached relatively high or critical positions.

It's for the sake of someone speaking for him in his future career.

"It was the college that trained me." Yang Bo said in a fake tone.

This scene made some people's eyes turn green, and the young assistant to the president of the March Star Fencing Association now has green eyes.

"80 gold coins!"

"It's worth 1.6 million credit points, and 20 gold coins are donated!" The young assistant didn't know what to say anymore. He was still struggling hard for dozens of copper coins a day.

"Haha, he also has a bow worth 500 gold coins and a house, and he will soon be promoted to captain of the city guard." The president laughed and said, but these words were like flying knives stabbing the assistant's heart.

"This guy is definitely lucky, absolutely." The young man was extremely jealous and felt heartbroken at the same time. If someone else donated 20 gold coins, he would be fine.

"Hehe, luck is also a kind of strength. Why didn't someone bet with me at the beginning, and said that Yang Bo couldn't earn a gold coin in three months."

"Tsk tsk!" The president didn't expect that Yang Bo could get so much money.

It seems that there is some luck involved, but more of it is strength.

For example, if Locke hadn't called Yang Bo to go with the reinforcements today, Yang Bo would not have gone.

If Yang Bo had not been smart and climbed up the hillside next to him, he would not have been able to directly hunt down a cavalryman and indirectly kill another cavalryman.

It may be called luck, but actually it is due to one's own strength. If he was not strong enough, Locke would not be able to lead at all. If he was not strong enough, he would not be able to hit the cavalry at all.

"Don't you want to follow Yang Bo's approach? How are you doing now?" the president asked with a smile.

"Don't mention it. It's almost harvest time. I just walked into the farmland and was chased by several farmers with farm tools. They thought I was stealing food."

"Haha, haha!" the president laughed.

The young man was very depressed because he had become a homeless man. He knew that if he was caught by the farmers, he would never be able to explain himself.

The NPCs in the game discriminate against outsiders and will send them to the front lines as long as they can frame them with a crime.

Unless you have formal proof of identity, you will still have to pay bail.

"When Yang Bo returns to March Star, I will definitely ask him for advice on how to play the Second World game." The young man felt depressed just thinking about it.

A newbie who has just entered the game for a few months is doing much better than this veteran who has been playing for many years.

"He actually donated 20 gold coins!" The young man thought about how much 20 gold coins were worth?
"He is buying fame, just like what he said to Adam. This is the same as donating to our alma mater in real life."

"And there must be a lot of noble disciples coming out of Green Academy. In this backward game world, people's reputations rely on word of mouth."

"The effect of his 20 gold coins is immeasurable."

"Of course you can't learn it, because you don't have 20 gold coins." The president said and laughed.

"I think if Yang Bo continues to develop, the headquarters will definitely ask for his identity information?"

"Don't forget, our swordsmanship association must abide by the laws and regulations of the alliance. Although the headquarters is nominally our superior, our supervisors are different."

"I don't think the headquarters would risk protests from the alliance to do this," the president explained.

Yang Bo quit the game, and the dean said he would arrange a new residence for him tomorrow.

After Yang Bo finished playing the game, he felt a little bored in the room and wanted to walk around other places on the spaceship, but after thinking about it, he felt it was boring.

"Actually, the income of the knights in the game is still quite low."

"Some people did not get any military merit but were injured instead." Yang Bo thought carefully and found that some of the knights who participated in the operation today did not get any merit.

"That is to say, risking one's life, the reward might be only a dozen gold coins. No wonder only 200 of the 140 gold coins were divided according to military merit, and the rest had to take care of colleagues."

"If you earn coins in the game, you can't exchange them for credits. After all, you earn coins and you spend coins."

"It seems that being an archer is more profitable, but I should also get a mount if I have the chance, so that I can escape quickly if something happens."

"Why do I always think about running away?" Then Yang Bo thought something was wrong. Why was he thinking about running away again?

During dinner, Liu Jingxiang asked, "Yang Bo, why did you borrow money from official channels this time?"

"Also, I clearly gave you 20 silver coins, why did you give me 50?"

"I am now in Green College, so I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I can also learn technology." Yang Bo transferred money through the official channels of Green College, which is fast and low-cost.

"Ah? Then what skills did you learn?"

“Gardening, carving.”

“???” Liu Jingxiang and Zhou Kexin both had question marks in their heads.

"Can you make money with these two majors? The NPCs in the game are quite exclusive. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to make money in art?"

"I think it's pretty good. Life seems quite comfortable." Yang Bo said with a smile.
