Chapter 250: The Guizhou Circle is in Chaos (1st update)
At midnight, Kevin and Tang Mo were sitting on the carriage going home.
Although he was exhausted, Kevin stroked the gemstone ring on his right hand, and his heart was filled with the joy of his wish coming true.
The gift he carefully prepared - Tang Mo finally came in use.
The third-level nobleman visiting tonight was very satisfied with Tang Mo's performance. He was a history enthusiast. He ignored the solicitude of people around him throughout the evening and had a great time chatting with Tang Mo.
Afterwards, the other party even expressed his willingness to "invite" Tang Mo to their home as a tutor, but Kevin declined.
A one-time friendship is nothing compared to a long-term relationship.
Although the other party felt sorry for not getting Tang Mo, he still accepted a gift from Kevin, an exquisite platinum necklace worth 3,500 silver coins.
If the other party is willing to accept the gift, it means that they are already connected.
It started to rain, and raindrops fell on the carriage windows, making everything around them blurry and dreamy.
Through the window of the carriage, he saw that the carriage was leaving the venue of the party. The lights were still bright there, but the lively sounds had gradually disappeared, and finally fell into silence.
Other nobles are also raising apostles, but although their apostles have good memories, they are still far behind compared to their own apostles.
Otherwise, why would the third-level nobles catch Tang Mo chatting away.
Looking at the dimly lit high-rise building at the venue, Kevin waited until the high-rise building was completely blocked, then reluctantly turned his head and said sincerely to Tang Mo: "Thank you very much, Mr. Tang Mo, you really helped me a lot today."
"You're welcome."
The apostles are all expressionless people. Even if they encounter no matter how big the situation is, they will not show any expression or movement.
This performance gives them a calm and composed temperament, but it is difficult for people to understand what they are thinking.
Just when Kevin wanted to say a few more words to Tang Mo and see the other person's attitude, the carriage he was riding in suddenly stopped. The huge inertia made him almost fly to the opposite side. Fortunately, he grabbed the handrail on the side.
After arranging his clothes, he suppressed the anger in his heart, stuck his head out and shouted to the coachman, "What's wrong?"
"Sir, someone is blocking the road." The coachman said in fear.
"Just run over! You stopped so suddenly, what if you hurt me or my guests?"
"She was holding a child."
"...Ask her what she wants to do."
The carriage driver stepped forward and whispered a few words. sentence, the women's grateful voices immediately sounded.
Then, the other party came to the window of the carriage, stood on tiptoes, and said in a nervous tone: "Sir, my name is..."
Kevin glanced at Tang Mo, who was still expressionless, but his eyes had fallen on the woman. .
Normally, he would never have let this woman come over, but now that Tang Mo was by his side, he could only endure the sour smell on her body, forced a smile and asked, "Let's get down to business." The
woman showed a fearful expression. Smiled, and then said quickly: "My husband works in your quarry. His leg was broken by a falling stone before. You gave me four silver coins as compensation..." "
Is it too little?" Kevin He asked with a frown.
"It's quite a lot, and they don't give you money anywhere else. I mean, can I take over my husband's job! I'm very strong, I was born as a pony, I have great stamina, I ..."
Kevin glanced at the baby in the woman's arms.
People in this world are all born as animals, and they mature and grow up quickly after birth, except for the noble class.
The aristocrats were born as humans and grew up as humans. This characteristic divided the aristocracy and humans into two distinct groups. It was also proof that the aristocracy originated from the noble blood of the ancient priests.
Even the lowest level 13 nobles are human when they are born.
However, if you mix with people from the lower class, no matter how noble your bloodline is, the final offspring will be animals, which completely cuts off the possibility of intermarriage between the two classes.
He frowned and looked at the pony in the other person's arms. The pony was sleeping soundly at this time and did not hear what his mother was pleading for.
Although he was very poor, his mother protected him very well. Even though the mother was soaked and shivering from the cold, the child was still carefully protected.
Taking out a handful of copper coins from his arms, Kevin threw the coins in front of the other party, suppressing his unhappiness and said: "Go to the quarry tomorrow, remember to take care of your child." "
Okay, sir! Thank you, sir!" "
The carriage drove away, and Kevin looked behind him at the woman kneeling in the muddy water picking up copper coins, and felt a little better.
The apostles of the gods are all kind people. My actions just now must have given me a lot of points.
Looking at the expressionless Tang Mo, Kevin pretended to be reserved and said: "I can ignore her, who calls me kind-hearted."
Tang Mo looked at the woman outside the car window, and sighed quietly after a while.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Although he had long known that the aristocratic system was a vicious cannibalistic system, Tang Mo was still shocked when he actually saw it.
He knew he was playing a game, but the real scene still made Tang Mo feel that that era was really too dark.
"Mr. Tang Mo?"
Tang Mo, who was deep in thought, was interrupted. He looked at Kevin in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I want to say that you helped me a lot today, and I don't know how to thank you. Excuse me, What can I do for you?"
If it were before, Tang Mo might have asked the other party to listen to him more and let himself explain some issues to the other party.
But now, Tang Mo suddenly felt unable to communicate with the other party.
The other party has become accustomed to his noble status, and even the little bit exposed from his fingers has become a symbol of his kindness. He already has his own information cocoon, which is difficult to break out of.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "I have two conditions. First, I want to hold a reading salon."
"Do you know what it is for?"
"Let me borrow your study room and communicate with other aristocratic children. , let them learn history."
"Hmm..."
After thinking about it for a while, Kevin felt that this was feasible.
Tang Mo's reputation has already spread among the upper class. Many people know that there is a scholar with quick thinking here, and they also know that many important people like to study history.
Holding a salon is equivalent to establishing a bond, allowing him to better connect with these great nobles, and perhaps make his family a step further in his lifetime.
So, he readily agreed to the proposal, and then asked: "What about the second one?"
"Give me a permit. I hope to visit the quarry occasionally."
This condition is a bit strange, but it is not impossible.
After all, the apostle can ignore the shadow particles, and it doesn't hurt to let the other party go there occasionally.
Moreover, the welfare benefits of his quarry are well-known in Ifat. He never defaults on wages, provides meals once a day, and will give some compensation for work-related injuries before dismissing him. It is a very conscientious place.
After riding back in the carriage, Tang Mo's two requests were quickly met. The next day, the study room was cleared out, one wall was opened, new carpets were laid on the floor, and exquisite snacks and drinks were provided free of charge, striving to give guests the ultimate experience.
When the salon opened, the first customer was a bombshell, a third-level noble who had recruited Tang Mo.
There are only seven first-level nobles in Efat, twenty-one second-level nobles, and sixty-three third-level nobles. With less than a hundred people, they are the pinnacle of the nobility and are out-and-out big shots.
Although he only came to give away fruit baskets and left after sitting for a while, this salon still caused a sensation, making the salon full of people since it opened, and also made Kevin realize that he had really found a treasure.
Tang Mo was still expressionless, but after talking loudly with others, he was also silently paying attention to the people who came here, and then found that there seemed to be no suitable ones.
He originally wanted to see if there was anyone in the nobility who could truly empathize with the lower class, but the butt determined the head. Although these young people all said nice things, they were not of much use.
So he focused his attention on the quarry.
When he came to the quarry through the long pipe, he found that the place was smoky. Thousands of workers were digging marble in the open quarry, and using simple tools, they transported the heavy stones to the camp for processing, and then sent them to Efat. .
The environment here can only be described as harsh. There is dust everywhere, and a careless moment when cutting the stone will crush and kill the workers. However, this is indeed one of the few places with high wages nearby, and it attracts a large number of outsiders to work here.
Knowing that Tang Mo was here for a visit, a worker was elected to serve as Tang Mo's guide.
The other person is in his thirties, the same age as Kevin, but his appearance is completely different.
He has dark skin and a strong body. In a place where the average life expectancy at the bottom is forty-seven years old, he looks still in his prime, and his smile is hearty and friendly.
Shaking hands with Tang Mo, he said enthusiastically: "Are you Mr. Kevin's advisor? I am De Lai. Welcome to visit Mr. Kevin's property. Do you want something to drink? Can only water be used?"
Tang Mo said in front of him. Look at each other expressionlessly.
When he came into contact with the other party, he had already opened the other party's information panel, and then found that the other party's information could only be described as exploding.
The NPC here also has six-dimensional attributes. The average six-dimensional attribute of ordinary people is 10, but the average value of the person in front of him is as high as 19. The luxury of the panel shows that the other person is definitely an elite.
High attributes mean high punishment, but the opponent is not a player, but an NPC.
On the other party's information panel, two high-quality blessings were placed there, making Tang Mo instantly feel the aura of domination.
[Lucky]: After the age of thirty, your luck is incredible.
[Leader]: You have unique leadership skills.
These three points alone were shocking enough, but what made Tang Mo feel most incredible was that there was this sentence in the background of the other party:
[He is Kevin's half-brother. 】
This sentence made Tang Mo feel that there were a lot of stories behind this person, and the other person might be the main thread of this world.
Immediately take a screenshot of the other party's description and throw it into the group, and the players in the group instantly went crazy.
[Old Tang, come on, I allow you to stop updating today. You have to take this person down no matter what! ]
[Don't leave, we will sneak into the quarry immediately. We have to see what is going on with this man? 】
【Let me go and hide the easter eggs, right? Fangcheng Studio, you guys hide the easter eggs, right? You hide such an important NPC here. 】
【Fangcheng Studio, you really have it! ]
[Good guy, all I can say is good guy! After making so many games, you still have your original intention, right? 】
Subsequently, they also had a question.
In this world setting with an extremely weird reproductive system, how did this guy end up here?
The only explanation at present is that Kevin and Delai's father had a secret love for a female worker, and they had Delai after the initial turmoil and abandonment.
Regardless, there is a big drama involved here that needs to be savored.
While Tang Mo was communicating with others on the screen, Delai saw that Tang Mo hadn't moved for a long time and couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the other party.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before Tang Mo came back to his senses, looked at Delai and asked, "Excuse me, what's your job here?"
"I'm the foreman, responsible for managing workers' schedules and calculating wages. Don't worry, I I have completed today's task, and I can take a look with you. What do you want to know?"
"Can I go to the workers' residence first?"
"Okay, here."
Unlike the lumberyard, the quarry has separate dormitories. , so that workers don’t have to go home every day.
The structure of the dormitory is very simple, with simple stone houses built one after another. The strong man who finished the work took a nap in the dormitory and looked at Tang Mo who was following Delai with doubtful eyes.
Leading Tang Mo into a separate room, Delai turned on the gas lamp and said to Tang Mo: "This is my single room. Each foreman can have his own single room." "
How many foremans are there here ? ?"
"Twenty-one, each foreman has fifty quarry workers."
"Are there any women?"
"There is one. Her husband was injured two days ago. Fortunately, Mr. Kevin was kind enough to let her You can come back and do the work. I thought it would be difficult for her to take care of the children, so I asked her to help with laundry and doing sundries. Here she is."
Outside the window, the woman Tang Mo had seen last night came over.
She was carrying her child on her back. When she saw Delai, she nodded timidly and said humbly: "Sir..."
"Don't call me sir, just call me foreman."
"Okay, foreman, my clothes are washed." It's over, do you really don't need me to transport the stones?"
"No, just keep an eye on your child. Oh, this pony is so cute."
After teasing the child, Delai asked the woman to rest, and turned around to see Tang Mo flipping through the Books on the shelf in the room.
Different from the expensive books in Kevin's study, the books here are rough in workmanship, and some are even engraved directly on the wooden boards.
The books in the study were almost untouched. Instead, they were covered in gray and black marks and looked like they had been read frequently.
The writing in some books was crooked, but later the handwriting gradually became cleaner, and in the end it even looked a little beautiful.
Finding Tang Mo flipping through the book, De Lai said sheepishly: "I copied these books myself. My mother worked as a nanny for Mr. Kevin, and I occasionally went there to help when I was a child. It was at that time that I learned writing and arithmetic. ."
"What about your mother?"
"She's passed away."
"What a pity."
Tang Mo felt a pity that Delai's life experience was cut off here.
But it doesn't matter, they still have a lot of time.
