Chapter 69 Professor Ebert

Wu Chang looked at the last sentence on the letter with a strange expression.

Presumably, when writing this letter, his predecessor could not have imagined that Marty would visit him that very night because of the strike.

Finally he was tied to the dock and made into a blood eagle.

Ok……

In a sense, it was a surprise.

The information brought by this letter overturned many of his previous speculations and required re-verification.

Before, when I saw him being killed instantly by Marty with a harpoon, I thought the former postman was simple, incompetent and pretentious.

After learning that the former mailman was a veteran player, it became Marty who had problems.

In a special state, Marty might be able to use some kind of rule-based ability to suppress his opponent's power or ignore his opponent's defense.

No matter which one it is, he can't act rashly.

In addition to re-evaluating Marty's fighting abilities, he also has to re-evaluate the importance of his job in town.

Based on the letter from the previous postman and Marty's performance, it can be seen that as long as he works hard enough, he can improve his favorability among the townspeople.

He proposed a secret plan to deliver the letter, and Marty's attitude towards him instantly became much friendlier. The player named Logan was even able to join the town council because of his hard work.

It has to be rolled up!

He took out the mail that had accumulated during the period of shortage of postmen, sorted it according to the recipients, then put on his postman bag, pulled the trailer, and started delivering the mail door to door.

When the first piece of mail was stuffed into the townspeople's mailbox, he realized why the townspeople didn't just bypass the postman and take the letters themselves.

Because these delivered letters are "poisonous".

Every time a letter is delivered, 0.3 of his temporary upper limit of willpower will be deducted!

The post office had a backlog of fifty-five pieces of mail!

After delivering all these emails, the maximum willpower deducted will be as high as 15 points, which is enough for an ordinary person to have a mental breakdown three times.

But there was also an unexpected surprise. During the process of delivering the mail, the messenger bag he received from the police station kept conveying a sense of warmth to him and nourishing his spirit.

「Item Name: Postman's Delivery Package」

「Item type: copy item」

"Item Level: D"

"Item Skills: Skilled Delivery."

"Skill Description: Equip a messenger bag for delivery. Each delivery will reduce the user's willpower limit by 0.2. During working hours, wearing a messenger bag can restore part of the user's willpower limit every hour, and the value is 2% of the user's maximum willpower limit."

"Note: Item skills are only effective on Breeve Island, and delivery packages can only be used by officially appointed postmen."

After seeing the item description of the messenger bag, he realized that without the effect of the messenger bag, delivering a package would actually reduce the upper limit of willpower by 0.5.

Even the delusions at Moonlight Sanatorium were not so outrageous.

If work can be so painful, how much do the residents of Briver Island dislike going to work?
If it were an ordinary player, even if he spent 10 free attribute points and raised the will limit to 15, he could only deliver one package per hour to break even.

It would take more than two days of work without sleep to deliver the fifty-five parcels in backlog.

But Wu Chang doesn't need it.

As a legendary pressure-resistant king with 67 points of willpower, he can completely withstand the reduction of the upper limit of willpower, deliver all the mails first, and then slowly wait for his willpower to recover.

If normal delivery of mail is work, and normal delivery of backlog mail is internal circulation, then Wu Chang can definitely be called the king of circulation.

So the townspeople of the small town of Buff saw a postman with nimble hands and feet, who was several times faster than his previous ones, and who was delivering the backlog of mail non-stop.

They had never seen such hardworking cattle and horses.

The townspeople were very realistic. When they first saw Wu Chang, they were indifferent, with an attitude of "You are from outside the stinky island and you are begging for food in Briver." When the tenth mail was delivered, the townspeople who met him again had smiles on their faces.

Not only did they greet him proactively, the owners of the restaurant and liquor store even invited him to have lunch and a few drinks.

Soon, the whole town knew that there was a new, diligent and handsome postman.

When the goods were delivered to the mayor's home, the mayor praised Wu Chang's performance.

He promised that as long as Wu Chang delivered all the backlog of mail, he would personally write a letter of recommendation, inviting Wu Chang to join the town council and become a true Briver.

This is what Wu Chang was waiting for, and he immediately expressed his opinion:
"Don't worry, Mayor. I will deliver all the backlogged mail before sunset today!"

The mayor was frightened by Wu Chang's momentum and thought that a fool had come, so he tried to dissuade him:
"There's no need to be so anxious. You just arrived on the island and haven't adapted to the living conditions yet. Don't overwork yourself."

"Mayor, don't worry about me. My job is to provide convenience for the townspeople. This is what I should do!"

Wu Chang said firmly that he wanted to make progress very much, no, he wanted to join the town council very much.

After leaving the mayor's house, Wu Chang continued to deliver mail.

The biggest factor limiting his delivery speed is distance.

The town's post office didn't have bicycles or carriages, let alone a horse.

He had to tow a trailer and walk to get all the deliveries.

After a day of non-stop delivery, he walked at least 22 steps. If it weren't for his stamina of points after the bonus, most people would not be able to walk that far.

It was not until the evening that he arrived at the last house.

The last house is the farthest from the post office. The recipient lives at the easternmost end of the town. It is a single-family building with few neighbors around.

The recipient's name was Joshua Ebbett.

Or you could call him Professor Ebbett.

Ebert is a man in his late sixties. He wears round-framed metal glasses, has gray hair, and a thin body, looking like a typical scholar.

During the delivery process, Wu Chang asked the villagers indirectly and found out that Ebert had taught at the kingdom's first university, so he was called a professor.

It is said that he taught courses in archaeology and theology.

Because of this, he had collaborated with the church many times when he was teaching in the royal capital.

The fact that he was named in the church's letter for help showed that Ebert was not a purely bad person, but at least a wavering person.

As long as he is used properly, his role is no less than that of half a teammate.

Ebert seemed to have been waiting for Wu Chang's delivery for a long time. He stood at the door. As soon as Wu Chang put his two letters into the mailbox, he couldn't wait to take them out and read them on the spot.

After a brief reading, he showed disappointment on his face and asked, "Mr. Sean, are you sure this is all my letters?"

Wu Chang replied calmly: "I am very sure that among the backlog of mail in the post office, these two letters belong to you only."

He didn't lie. After all, the letter from the church to Ebert was placed in the interlayer of the messenger bag.

The disappointment on Ebert's face grew even stronger, but a hint of relief and relief flashed across his eyes.

That emotion was very hidden and difficult to detect, but unfortunately he met Wu Chang.

Wu Chang had been observing Ebert since they first met, especially Ebert's eyes. That hint of true emotion did not escape his eyes.

He took advantage of Ebert's relaxation and said:

"Professor Ebert, before I came to Briver, a relative of mine who worked in the Royal Capital Church came to me and said that if I encountered any trouble in Briver, I could ask you for advice."

"The population in this town is not very mobile, and the social circles are fixed. There are many established rules that I, as an outsider, have no way of understanding. I'm worried that I might accidentally do something wrong and anger the townspeople."

"Professor Ebert, I want to integrate into this beautiful and peaceful town as quickly as possible. I don't want to conflict with anyone. Can you give me some advice?"
