Saki: “Poof!”
Nia (alert!): “Shrimp!!!”
Although she didn't understand, she once again felt a sense of malice from this asshole teacher, and without hesitation she responded with a "cute cat roar", which made Saki grimaced and Baihu held his forehead with his hand, unable to bear to watch.
My master is too cute and has no deterrent effect at all. What should I do if the person being intimidated refuses to cooperate and keeps smiling the whole time?
Yes, someone stopped acting and came clean, he was touched by cuteness, as long as it didn't involve physical contact, he could eat any amount of it without batting an eyelid, seeing which made Nia lose her temper, she pursed her lips, snorted and turned her head away, the two male creatures looked at each other and grinned at each other to show friendliness, Saki turned his head again and looked at the young men running around below.
"So, is there anything special about that boy?"
"It is nothing special."
Nia's ears twitched, but she didn't continue to be angry. Although her tone was still a little unfriendly, she still explained:
“I just think it’s interesting.”
"interesting?"
"Um"
Nia nodded.
It's interesting that he became a salvage worker at such a young age.
It is interesting that such a young salvor cannot even get the latest salvage equipment and can only wear old-fashioned salvage clothes.
Obviously...still a child.
Just a kid.

"Still a child..."
Nia's expression dimmed slightly. It would be fine if her situation was special, but even such a young child had to become a salvager to make a living. Not only did she not earn enough money, she had to run errands all over the exchange. How could this world...become any better?
The cat's fist is hard!
......
On the other hand, the young man Lex, who had no idea that he had been targeted, was still carrying out his "side job".
The structure of the world determines the way humans survive, and in a place like the Netherworld, there is naturally no such thing as compulsory education. A teenager who is only fourteen years old...or even less than fourteen years old, naturally cannot stay in those so-called schools to study literature.
Of course, this does not mean that he is illiterate. Compared with other children of the same age, he knew what he should do when he was very young, and what "skills" he needed to achieve this goal, and he also worked hard for it. In addition to learning swordsmanship and fighting skills from his "grandfather", he also learned the common writing and arithmetic of the netherworld, and sneaked to the port near the village to ask the adults for advice on how to salvage.
It's just that this is the fastest and most formal way to make money. Joining the army is too dangerous and his parents won't agree. Besides, Lex doesn't know how much he can do. He doesn't have any connections in business. Salvage is different. This business is relatively safe and there is a possibility of getting rich overnight. Even if you don't do well, your income can remain stable. The most important thing is...
Low cost.
Other salvagers have to buy or rent boats to pay for rent, berthing fees and maintenance costs of the salvage boats, but what about him?
He has a grandfather, Qinglong, a small giant beast with extremely high intelligence and the ability to speak human language. He can directly save all these messy expenses.
No need to rent or buy a boat, no need to share the cost, no need to pay rent, the key is still familiar people... familiar beasts? It is simply the best tool beast!
How old was Lex at that time? Seven? Eight? In short, Lex, who was less than ten years old, had been calculating in his mind for a long time, thinking about his grandfather's health. And opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Lex, who came to the Avalitia Chamber of Commerce with Qinglong and became a young salvager, became a well-known figure among salvagers in a few years. Looking at the salvage technology of the whole Avalitia, he was at the top level. With the martial arts taught by his grandfather, he could escape unscathed even if he encountered those sea creatures that would cause heavy casualties to salvagers. It can be said that he was unrivaled.
That being said... this young man has not achieved true financial freedom, and he is reluctant to even replace his salvage suit. On the one hand, he cannot make a lot of money and become rich overnight. As an independent salvor, although he has a small reputation, the workload he can bear is still there. For example, those who involve large-scale salvage commissions basically do not come to him.
Also...
"Then, I'll leave these to you."
"Got it? Or should we send the money to Ms. Claire in Misen Village in the Liberalitas Islands?"
"Ah."
The young man couldn't help but sigh as he took a handful of gold plates from the Nopon woman in front of him.
That's about it. The boy would send most of what he earned back to his hometown, which meant that when he was unlucky and didn't catch much good stuff, he would almost be in the red. For example, this time he actually got only 200G, but it took about five days, and after the money he earned was thrown into the maintenance of the salvaging equipment, there was basically nothing left.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to pay rent, and there is a small vegetable garden on the back of his grandfather. He can be self-sufficient by living by the sea. Otherwise, he can't even save money to repair equipment, let alone upgrade it. Although there are ways to significantly increase his income, his friends have also advised him in this regard, but...
The only thing he would never salvage is military supplies!
To be precise, if he accidentally salvaged it, he would take out the non-military materials, seal the rest and kick it back into the sea of clouds.
War profit?
Heh~tui!
He would rather run more errands in the Chamber of Commerce than salvage military supplies...yes, running errands, that's his current 'side job'.
Making money to supplement the family income is one thing, but more importantly, it can help him accumulate connections. After all, he doesn't have the money to make money, so he can only use this relatively clumsy method. As time goes by, he will have good relationships with others, and money will naturally come.
Look, here comes one.
"One hundred thousand?!!!!"
The young man who came here after being told by the Chamber of Commerce staff trembled wildly, looking at the huge green Nopon tribe that was like a hill across a table, with a look of disbelief. In response to the young man's shock, the Nopon tribe, who was wearing large gold chains and looked like a local rich man, shook his ears and made a joyful sound.
"This is just the deposit. There will be another 100,000 after the deal is done."
“Two hundred thousand!!!!”
Two hundred thousand, what can you do with two hundred thousand? Putting aside other things, the average monthly income of an excellent salvager is only about 4000G. Two hundred thousand is equivalent to working without food or drink for more than four years to save up! Not to mention that Lex has to send % to % of his income back to his hometown, it will take a long time to save up two hundred thousand.
Of course, this is ignoring such special commissions. When one salvages at sea casually, the actual situation is definitely more than this. One may get a commission worth a fortune, just like now.
There was no doubt about the authenticity of the matter. The Nopon man in front of him was the current president of the Avalitia Chamber of Commerce. In a sense, he was the king of this merchant country. He was in a high position and had great power. Naturally, it was impossible for him, a small salvager, to be fooled about such a matter. The little bit of doubt in his heart had been wiped out by the glittering golden 200,000. Even though the boy was precocious...it would be better to say that precisely because of his precocity, he entered the mode of being blinded by money.
"Let me do it! Please let me do it!"
"Very good~ Let the other party tell you the specific details of the commission~"
Chamber of Commerce President Barn waved his ear, and the secretary on standby nearby opened the door to the side of the president's office, and three people dressed in strange clothes walked out one after another.
The black-haired man with a slicked-back hair in black armor, the lizardman with blue crystals on his body, and the last silver-haired man with a mask, these people are——
Volume 58: Young Man, Young Girl and the Precious First Time: Chapter Chapter Kill That Kao Brother
"Blade Master?! And there are Blades!"
Lex was startled again, and then he was certain in his heart that as the force and face of the Netherworld, ordinary people might think he was weak, but for the young boy, it was just a little "rare". He was confident that the swordsmanship his grandfather taught him would not lose to those blade masters.
Furthermore, as the commercial center of the Netherworld, the Avalitia Chamber of Commerce does not have a group of Blade Masters. Moreover, due to the increasingly tense relations between the two countries, Blade Masters belonging to Invidialie and Spebia can often be seen wandering on the deck.
Is it rare? I have seen it a lot!
"Oh~"
Seeing that Lex calmed down so quickly, the black-haired man with a slicked back hair who came out first let out an exclamation that sounded like admiration, his eyes fell on Lex's golden pupils, and he nodded imperceptibly to the silver-haired young man beside him.
I confirmed with my eyes that it was the right person.
To be precise, it is the 'key' they are looking for.
Seeing his companion's affirmative message, the silver-haired young man who had been sizing up Lex up had a slight twinkle in his eyes and said:
"The commission is... to salvage an ancient sunken ship."
......
Even after walking out of the president's office, Lex still felt unreal.
So...getting rich?
Although he had anticipated this before, the boy never thought that this day would come so soon and so suddenly. Just one foot he was still feeling sad because he couldn't sell the salvaged things for much money, and the next foot he received a huge sum of money.
Although two hundred thousand is still far from revitalizing the village, such a huge sum of money can still improve the situation in the village.
That’s not all. For a salvager, this type of commission is essentially a recognition of his or her own strength by the outside world. It can leave a strong mark on one’s resume, and such commissions will naturally come in the future.
It’s probably like the leap from a failed writer who relies on attendance to a great writer who relies on copyright!
"...Heh~"
The two men and one blade who also walked out of the president's office looked at the boy who kept encouraging him at the door. The black-haired man in the lead chuckled, walked up to the boy and patted him on the back, saying:
"Do your best next time, kid."
"Ah! Leave it to me!"
"Humph..."
The man chuckled, noncommittal about the boy's enthusiasm, and the three of them walked to the stairs, leaving Lex confused.
Although he was the sponsor, he always felt that these people… how should I put it? They exuded a rather bad aura that made him feel bad. After all, at such a young age, Lex had been working in such a large-scale dyeing vat as the Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally had a certain eye for people. But in the final analysis, he was still young and inexperienced. Although he felt that these people had problems, the boy did not think of the worst direction. Moreover, after weighing the advance payment of 100,000 in his hand...
No matter what his problem is, anyway——
Very fragrant!
"Well! Let's go talk to Grandpa first, and then..."
As usual, I will send most of it back home! Keeping around 10,000 is enough for my own use, and I can also update my equipment.
The young man, who had his own plans for the next action and the huge sum of money, made up his mind and took his first step. Carrying such a huge sum of money, even his steps became lighter than before. He did not even take the stairs but simply stepped over the guardrail and fell from the second floor of the exchange which was several meters high. He jumped on several cargo boxes several times and finally landed steadily, which caused a burst of laughter and scolding.
Seeing the young man laughing and happily running out of the exchange, the black-haired man chuckled again, not knowing what he was thinking of. The silver-haired young man behind him kept a cold face throughout the whole process, without any emotion. Suddenly, he turned his head as if he had sensed something and looked higher. He saw two people and a tiger on the edge of the third floor platform. The cat woman was startled, as if she didn't expect to be discovered suddenly, but the young man smiled and raised the teacup in his hand to signal.
"Really, what's wrong?"
"I saw someone I know."
"acquaintance?!"
Mie was a little surprised. You know, for them who have been active in the Netherworld for more than 500 years, "acquaintance" often represents many meanings.
Let's put it this way, most of the acquaintances nowadays are mostly well-known figures. Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party is still alive, if he is dead, it is naturally useless.
Following his companion's line of sight and looking upwards, he saw the two men and the tiger on the platform. The corners of Mie's mouth twitched, and his secretly tense body instantly relaxed.
Acquaintances in this sense...that's right, 'acquaintances' who I have known for less than three days and have not been together for more than five hours.
"Want to go say hello?"
"...That's not necessary."
Mie shrugged, and the two of them shifted their gaze away from the third-floor platform. They simply went downstairs and walked towards the deck, leaving the two men and one tiger on the platform looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Not coming up yet~"
"After all, our interactions only lasted about ten minutes, which is normal."
Saki was not surprised at the two people's unrestrained departure. He glanced at the empty porcelain cup and put it down again.
In the past, when I saw this kind of situation on TV, people would raise their glasses to greet acquaintances from a distance. But after I did it myself, I found that... Hey? It's kind of interesting?
The key point is that the people raising the toast are the final bosses No. 1 and No. 3 of the whole drama, which immediately raises the tone!
——Well, the style in his heart.
However, Saki was relieved that the other party was not lured up. If they really came up to talk to them, he didn't know what to do.
If he could get Brother Kao (Zhen) out of the way, he could also find a chance to beat up the Shamatte of Roucun (referring to the destruction)... There is no other way. He is a weakling, so he picks on the weak ones. The boss can only pick on the weak ones like him. And——
slap~
Saki threw the four golden letters on the table and fell into deep thought. Nia saw this and subconsciously gave him a look. Saki shook his head slightly and folded the four letters one by one. The whole process was not noticed by the white tiger crawling on the ground.
After all, Baihu had also read the letters that Nia had received, and it would be difficult to explain it off if it saw the letters. You have to know that Nia had kept Baihu silent about the situation in the other world so far, and Saki naturally couldn't tell anyone. The two of them were consciously blocking some information, and finally decided whether to tell it out or disappear in silence in the other world depending on the situation.
If we keep the current status, it will only take about 20 days to go back. At a time speed of 6:1, it will take four months in this world... No, the time speed will be reversed after we go back, which means it will only take about four days. Baihu won't have to wait for long...
Volume 59: Young Men, Girls and Precious First Times: Chapter Chapter I don’t know how to tell you this, I’m just a white tiger
While Nia was keeping a rather pessimistic attitude and preparing herself, Saki looked at Nia, who was emitting negative emotions, with a subtle expression, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself:
"...Is this child like this in the original work?"
I was filled with negative emotions! I didn't even notice some things that I should have noticed. This is not good. It's really not good.
Need education!
Thinking of this, Saki secretly gathered his spiritual power. The materialized spiritual power, which was only visible to people with abilities such as clairvoyance and Yin-Yang eyes, turned into an arm and floated out from his shoulders, passing over the head of Nia, whom he had been thinking about for a long time.
Although she couldn't see anything, she suddenly felt an invisible hand touching her head. This terrifying thing frightened the catwoman so much that her hair stood on end. With her intuition, she directly locked her target on Saki.
"shrimp!!!!"
