Chapter 431 An Ordinary Day for an Ordinary Stevedores

"Okay, no need to watch him pick up girls."

Share space.

Li Zhongren and others pulled their perspective back to their own perspective.

On the one hand, this kind of low-level adventure is just garbage time for them.

But more importantly, they have figured out the characteristics of this demon-like individual.

This is also the most precious thing in his body.

So, I will no longer focus on him.

The so-called projected attention is an important research result of Li Zhongren and others.

The core of this achievement is that when enough Li Zhongren are paying attention to the newly joined Li Zhongren in front of the screen, he will be blessed with an aura similar to that of the protagonist, which can make his actions as dramatic as possible within a certain period of time.

It's not for the sake of watching the show, but doing so will allow Li Zhongren to obtain enough world origin as a benefit to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, this blessing is not unlimited.

For example, this demon Li Zhongren, after blessing two worlds in succession, the world's will has already responded, so they can only shift their attention away. However, this is not important, the great start in the early stage has allowed him to gain a firm foothold, and the follow-up is just a matter of hard work.

"Next world, any target? Lee Elden?"

"Ah."

From the void, Li Elden responded.

Another wave of silk thread was transmitted to the endless other side——
Life, life.

Once you are born, you have to work.

This is also true even if you travel through time.

Li Zhongren thought so.

He traveled to a Western fantasy world similar to sword and magic.

As for my identity, I am just an ordinary person.

What is an ordinary person?
Ordinary appearance.

Family ordinary.

Average IQ.

Everything is ordinary.

Fortunately, this so-called world of swords and magic did not remain in the Dark Ages as in the novels.

As time goes by, this world, like the blue planet, is gradually moving towards technological development.

Of course, the technology here does not mean that there is no extraordinary power here.

You know, science has never been a sect, let alone a school of thought.

It's a methodology.

If there really is magic in the world, then a researcher who explores its underlying logic can be said to be a magician or a scientist.

Li Zhongren is not a scientist.

He didn't even recognize the writing of this world.

Because he never went to school.

His identity is a porter at the port terminal.

This job only requires you to have some strength and be willing to endure hardship.

Fortunately, in his era, with the advancement of magic technology, some auxiliary tools have gradually become popular in the world of ordinary people. Ordinary people cannot afford them, but companies can, so the loaders and porters in front of him can still borrow some cheap ones from time to time.

"Hu~~"

2 p.m.

Li Zhongren sat down in the shade of the dock with some trembling, took out a cigarette from his arms, which he had obviously rolled himself, and started smoking.

In fact, he didn't smoke in his previous life. It's not that he never smoked, but he would smoke one when someone gave him a cigarette. But if there was no one around and he was alone, he didn't smoke much.

But ever since he became a loader in this world, he has never let go of this thing.

It’s nothing, just tiring.

When people are tired to a certain extent, they always need some outlet to vent.

Smoke, drink, or go to the Nightingale Pavilion.

Of these three, smoking is obviously the cheapest and most convenient.

Drinking can easily lead to mistakes.

He couldn't afford the money for the Nightingale Pavilion, nor did he want to pay. After all, he didn't like to be in the same boat with others.

So, the only option left is smoking.

After a long time, a cigarette turned into ashes.

Li Zhongren felt his body was much better, so he slowly stood up.

He's going home.

The dock where he works has one bus service every morning.

I come at six o'clock, have breakfast, and work until two or three in the afternoon. That day's work is considered done, and I get paid on the spot, twenty yuan.

The remaining time is free time. You can rest if you want. If you have extra energy, you can go for a walk.

"Where are you going?"

"The Bard's Bridge."

There is a huge bridge here, and a market has formed underneath.

Its positioning is almost similar to that of the old Beijing overpass.

All kinds of jugglers, performers, and businessmen are here. After all, this is a port, so it is more convenient for people to come here after getting off the ship.

Of course, it also costs money.

However, the projects here include cheap and expensive ones. For ordinary stevedores like them, going to the Nightingale House is already the highest consumption. But in fact, not many people actually go there. After all, most stevedores have families, and their daily expenses are a sum of money. They also have to leave some money for dealing with various problems in the future.

The most that can happen is that we come here to have a nice meal.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to feed it to my family.

Stevedores, that requires a lot of physical energy.

If I didn't eat some meat, my body would have collapsed long ago.

So, my family members won’t say much.

On the contrary, as long as Li Zhongren himself is full, the whole family will not be hungry.

After traveling through time for so many years, he still hasn't discovered that he has any golden fingers.

While accepting my fate, I am also prepared to live out my life alone.

After all, he really had no interest in supporting a whole family and working himself to death in this kind of miserable life at the bottom of society. Why bother?

If there is only one consequence, it is that there will be no one to take care of you in your old age.

When the day comes when you can't move anymore, it might be tragic.

But before that day came, he prepared a packet of poison, so that he could probably end his life.

That's life.

After all, he discovered that he was not the protagonist in the novel and was not here to enjoy life, so there was no need to make himself unhappy.

"That fairy blade!"

"Pick up and break the moon dew"

"The one with Green Falls"

"Hanging for nine days~~"

After a good rest, Li Zhongren stood up, stretched, hummed the elven folk songs, and walked towards the Bard's Bridge.

It is not far from the pier, and you can even see crowds of people just by looking up.

In the afternoon, the place officially started to become lively.

However, he didn't want to watch the fun now, but wanted to have a good meal first.

The Oak Tavern.

When I opened the door, the noisy sounds from inside hit me.

It also has a woody fragrance.

This is also the reason why he is willing to come here.

There are cheaper places here at the Wanderer's Bridge, but the hygiene there is so poor that the first thing you smell is stinky feet as soon as you enter the room.

He really couldn't bear it.

"Morning, Jeff."

Li Zhongren is a frequent visitor here. His name in this life is Jeff, a simple word.

"Morning, Andrew, old routine."

"One pound of noodles, one portion of black pork stewed with potatoes, and I want wide sauce." "Would you like some wine? We have a new dark wheat beer today."

"Have a drink, a large one."

"Okay~"

The waiter named Andrew smiled and turned away. After a while, he brought up a large glass of dark wheat beer and left in a hurry.

Li Zhongren picked up the beer and took a big sip.

The refreshing, cold, wheat-flavored beer explodes in your mouth.

At that moment, it seemed as if most of the fatigue in my body disappeared.

As mentioned before, he doesn't drink alcohol, and I mean strong liquor like rum.

For him, beer is a beverage.

In his previous life, the only constraint on his drinking beer was his bladder.

"what"

Yawning, Li Zhongren put down the wine glass in his hand and looked around casually.

Half of them were familiar faces, all old acquaintances of the Bard's Bridge, but there were also many unfamiliar faces. Most of these people were passengers who got off the ship to rest. After all, the city he was in, Mithril Raven Port, was a relatively large port city with a large passenger flow.

In particular, as this fantasy world moves into the technological age, order is slowly becoming more stable.

Thus, tourists, this group, was born.

Some rich and powerful people will take their families to travel to famous places from time to time.

Mithril Raven Port, although it is a port, the scenery here is really nice, especially there is a huge square near the port, the square is full of ravens, and it has become a beautiful landscape.

"Jeff, your meal."

After a while, the noodles and black pork stewed with potatoes were served.

Two full servings.

The Oak Tavern is a bit on the expensive side, but the quality and quantity are excellent.

Li Zhongren didn't say anything either. He was very hungry and started to eat with relish.

The feeling of food filling his mouth allowed him to briefly experience what is called happiness.

"puff"

A light laugh was heard from not far away.

A little girl laughed out loud as she watched Li Zhongren eating food in big mouthfuls.

The child's mother looked at Li Zhongren apologetically, then rubbed the little girl's face.

“Lina, don’t do such an impolite thing.”

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm not making fun of him. I just think he eats so deliciously."

"That's because he's hungry."

The woman looked over again, but Li Zhongren was no longer looking at her. Instead, he continued to eat with big mouthfuls of food.

That voice, that look.

Also, even though he ate with such big mouthfuls, he didn't make any uncomfortable sounds.

It made her feel hungry too.

"what"

As the little girl watched, she also picked up a meatball with her fork and put it into her mouth.

"Mom, look, I"

The little girl spoke vaguely, but maybe it was her first time trying it, or maybe for some other reason, the meatball got stuck in her mouth.

In an instant, the girl's face turned red.

“Lina, you!!”

Turning back, the woman's expression suddenly changed, and she even looked a little at a loss.

At this moment, a big hand picked up the little girl.

It turned out to be that man.

He was still chewing food in his mouth. He held up Lina's clothes with one hand and reached around her lower abdomen with the other hand. He then turned the child's head down and squeezed hard.

There was a click.

A meatball just spurted out of the little girl's mouth.

The little girl also began to breathe heavily.
"thanks, thanks"

"hehe."

Li Zhongren smiled and waved his hand, then returned to his seat and started eating. Under his fierce attack, the pork and potatoes had been almost eaten up, and the remaining sticky soup was poured into the noodles by him. This was why he wanted more sauce.

Cry, cry, cry.

After finishing the noodles and the soup, Li Zhongren paid five dollars, touched his stomach, turned around and left, burping from time to time.

"see it?"

In a corner that Li Zhongren didn't notice.

A woman spoke.

She was completely wrapped in a cloak.

This is the standard attire for adventurers.

In this era, there are still adventurers. Of course, this name is not quite accurate. To be precise, they are mercenaries.

Since this world is a world of swords and magic, the concept of mercenaries has been retained.

However, with the advent of the technological age, the Mercenary Guild also underwent reforms.

More standardized, more perfect.

Why are customers and mercenaries unwilling to bypass the Mercenary Guild, and would rather choose it even if they have to take a commission?

Of course, it is because the Mercenary Guild itself is so powerful, which is a kind of credibility.

No matter whether it is an employer or a mercenary, anyone who dares to cheat will have to bear the wrath of the Mercenary Union.

Well, a kind person saved a little girl, otherwise, she would have been choked to death by the meatball.

"and then?"

The woman under the cloak continued to ask.

"What then?"

"Hey"

The woman shook her head.

"I'm talking about the method. If a normal person encounters this kind of situation, even if they want to help, they will be a little panicked. But this man was too calm. Moreover, he did not hesitate at all. Instead, he followed the steps and completed a rescue in a very standardized manner."

"Oh?"

Hearing the woman say this, her companion beside her also straightened up.

Because of one thing.

This is knowledge.

And the other party is just a loader.

In this era dominated by alchemical technology, the value of knowledge will only be higher. Ordinary people have almost no chance to go to school, and most people cannot afford the cost.

But soon, the woman's companion shook her head again.

"This isn't some profound knowledge. I can understand the principle after reading it once."

"Yes, you will understand the principle after reading it once, but did you know it before?"

"I do not know."

"I do not know either."

"His movements are very standard and smooth, which is not something most people would think of. But if it is not something most people would think of, then there is such an organization, and it is impossible for you and I not to know about it."

“No way, are we so lucky that we just found these hidden people when we got here?”

"It may not be them, but I guess they are somewhat related."

"so what?"

"Of course I will follow him quietly and investigate."

“Why not just arrest him?”

"If I guess wrong, it would harm him."

The woman shook her head.

"Secret Guard Station, no matter who you are, once you go in, even if you are innocent, it will be difficult for you to survive. We had no choice but to accept the mission from the Secret Guard Station, but I don't want to hurt people for no reason. So, you continue to investigate openly, and I will take a look at this man in secret."

"Ok."
