Chapter 20 20. Russell is short of money.
"Professor Black Amber, these are the strange sounds I heard during the sorting ceremony."
In the teaching building, Professor Black Amber's private office.
Russell told Teacher Black Amber everything about the anomalies during the sorting ceremony.
The guy who didn't know where he came from told me that there was a treasure hidden in the school and encouraged him to get it.
Of course you have to tell the teacher if you encounter something so suspicious!
"You performed very well, Russell." Professor Black Amber praised Russell on the desk.
"My child, you make me very happy. You were not bewitched or blinded by greed, but chose to tell the school. "I don't know how
many great heroes eventually went astray because they succumbed to greed and desire. But what you did today tells me that these things will not happen to you! Russell. "
A smile appeared on Black Amber's face.
"Well, Professor, although I am very happy to be praised by you, I still want to reiterate: I will definitely not believe a mysterious voice from an unknown source. Especially since the voice didn't even explain the specific location of the treasure and the secret room. Even if I wanted to look for it myself, there was nowhere to go.
"I think the courier needs a map, with marks and locations pointed out, rather than purely verbal expressions and playing the role of the Riddler."
Russell analyzed carefully.
"Ahem, okay, kid, you are very honest." Black Amber coughed twice.
"So what is that mysterious voice? Why do you want me to find some treasure or opportunity?" Russell asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is no treasure at all. Someone wants to trick you into... um, opening something that shouldn't be opened and touching something that shouldn't be touched." Something that shouldn't be opened
? A seal or something?
Russell frowned slightly, thinking about Professor Black Amber's words.
He remembered that Mr. Dragon also mentioned that he was responsible for guarding a seal.
Are the two a seal?
Or is there a lot of unclean things sealed in the academy?
Is your college okay?
Why is it that in various stories, there are always people who have nothing to do and seal strange things in the academy? Wouldn't it be better to change places?
Half a minute later.
Russell was still in the office, motionless.
"Uh, kid, are you... still standing here?"
Black Amber tried hard to recall what she had forgotten to tell Russell.
"Oh, by the way, I didn't expect you to be assigned to the necromancy and life major. But it doesn't matter. This may be a choice of fate, not necessarily a bad thing." Black Amber said.
The corner of Russell's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't help but said:
"Professor Black Amber, I will tell you about the mysterious voice I heard. Is there any...reward?" He originally wanted to say that he had just prevented a huge disaster, but I think this statement is still too far-fetched.
Black Amber hesitated for a second, opened the cat's claws, and an academy gold coin appeared on the pad of flesh at some point: "
Well, kid, this is a reward for your noble behavior. I'll pay it in advance, and I'll find a suitable one later. Reason to apply for reimbursement from the school."
"Thank you, Professor!" Russell arched his back slightly and said sincerely.
...
Finance Department.
Russell paid the first-year tuition and textbook fees, a total of 5 college gold coins.
As for the accommodation fee, Professor Black Amber found a reason to waive it for him. This is the greatest help that can be done in terms of fee reductions without directly revealing the identity of the son of Russell's prophecy.
"The tuition and textbook fees for the second grade will actually cost 30 college gold coins!" Russell looked embarrassed.
"It's like this. The first-year tuition and textbook fees are discounted prices supported by the Global Occult Foundation. The rest are the regular prices." Subway, who came to pay the tuition with Russell, sat on the sofa behind him and explained. .
Russell now has 11 college gold coins left, and he will definitely have other expenses after enrolling.
When he thought of this, he felt cash-strapped!
After originally earning 16 gold coins, he still felt that he was quite rich. Now it seems that for a student like him who has no background, no extraordinary family and no support from a secret organization, this amount of money is simply not enough.
But Russell is not helpless.
"Miss, can I exchange real money for college coins?" Russell smiled and asked the financial staff at the window.
"Of course." The sister at the window smiled.
Half a minute later.
"What? It's so expensive to exchange for an academy copper coin?"
Russell looked so shocked for the first time since he entered the school.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure the units he saw were copper coins and not gold coins.
(PS originally wanted to set it to 1 academy copper coin worth several thousand soft girl coins, but in order to avoid readers converting it into real money every time the academy currency is traded, which would affect the style of this funny story, I deliberately avoided the academy here. (Otherwise, if the teacher punishes
the students by giving away a first-tier city residence or a Ferrari 458, readers will feel something is wrong.) (End of this
