Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye it has been more than four months since Ryan came to Paarl Comprehensive College.
In the past four months, Ruian has made rapid progress. Not only has he become a level 1 swordsman and entered the second grade, but he has also created a set of basic sword skills, and his strength has risen to a higher level.
However, there is still a thorn in Ruian's heart. Before, in order to learn fighting spirit and sword skills, Ruian ignored it, but now that he has stabilized, Ruian has to consider this issue.
The problem is a money problem.
Before coming to Parr Comprehensive College, Ryan had a total of more than thirty gold coins. After paying the tuition fee of eighteen gold coins, Ryan still had more than ten gold coins left. Later, when he entered the second grade, he received five gold coins.
Appearance fee.
However, after deducting the living expenses for more than four months, Ruian counted and found only a little more than fourteen gold coins.
Ruian has always been short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have had the nerve to lie to someone for five gold coins when he entered second grade.
This is a very serious problem, because in more than half a year, Ruian will have to pay another year's tuition. If he cannot pay, he will be kicked out of the college. So now that things have stabilized, Ruian has to think about how to make money.
question.
It seems impossible to make a large amount of money at once, and Ruian can't think of any way to make a large amount of money at once. So, he can only make money little by little through his own efforts.
Ruian was somewhat conflicted. He wanted to make more money, but he also didn't want to spend a lot of time practicing. He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of anything that could make money.
Suddenly, he thought that when he was studying in his previous life, there were many people in the school doing work-study programs, working part-time while studying. So, could colleges in this world also provide part-time work opportunities?
"I don't know, but I can ask tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Ryan approached Harris to inquire.
Helis didn't know very well that He Shao, who had no worries about food and clothing, would not know the lives of people at the bottom.
After asking about Ruian's intentions, Harris offered to help Ruian pay the tuition.
Without thinking, Ruian rejected Helis's kindness. This was Ruian's principle. Besides, Ruian didn't believe that with his own ability, he couldn't even earn more than ten gold coins.
Harris didn't force it, and he understood Ryan's approach.
Finally, Harris suggested that Ryan go to the college's affairs office and ask, because all messy matters in the college are handled by the affairs office.
Ruian went to the College Affairs Office, which was a place unknown to many people. Ruian spent a long time and asked many passers-by before he found this place.
Just as Ruian imagined, the College Affairs Office was very deserted, with two office workers sitting in a huge office, doing nothing.
As soon as Ruian walked in, one of the men, an old man in his forties or fifties, came forward.
"Young man, what's the matter with you?" the old man said with a smile, looking like a weasel giving New Year's greetings to a cat.
"Well, I want to ask." Ruian replied with great caution. If possible, he even wanted to take a few steps back and stay away from the old man, but he restrained himself in the end.
In fact, this old man is not a bad person. It is just his warm personality and the boring work here that makes him entertain Ruian so enthusiastically.
"Young man, what do you want to ask? We can handle anything here." The old man looked like a businessman hawking outside, which made people laugh.
"It's like this. I want to find a part-time job. I wonder if the college can provide it?" Ruian suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but in the end he said it shamelessly.
"Part-time job? What is it?" the old man asked in confusion.
"Oh, it means that the college provides me with a job opportunity and pays me after I finish the job." Ruian then realized that the word "part-time job" was not a word in this world, so he quickly explained.
"Oh, you're talking about labor tasks, right?" the old man realized.
"Working tasks? Can I get paid after I do it?" Ruian heard this term for the first time and felt strange, so he couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Yes, our college will provide some labor tasks from time to time for students to complete. Students can get a certain amount of compensation after completing them."
Then the old man introduced a lot of things nonstop, giving Ryan a general understanding.
It turns out that not only Paarl Comprehensive College, but almost all colleges provide some labor tasks for students to do, and these labor tasks are paid.
However, most of the students who enter Paarl Comprehensive College are children from wealthy families and have no worries about money. There are too few people like Ruian who have nothing to do and have to make money to pay tuition and support themselves.
Therefore, sometimes, the college has to assign some labor tasks to students.
For example, when Ruian entered school, the group of test officers who tested the strength of freshmen was a type of labor task. Since there were never enough people, they had to be assigned to some sophomores. This is how Pulis was assigned.
Serve as a test officer. Of course, you can get paid for this labor task.
So when Ruian offered to do some labor tasks, the old man was very happy. Because the supply of labor tasks has always exceeded demand, this has always made the office staff of the office very troubled. It is rare for anyone to come to pick up the tasks today. Naturally
Very happy.
But then, when Ruian asked that the labor tasks he wanted to take must be high-paying and short-duration, the old man stopped laughing.
"With such a good labor task, everyone wants to do it. Will it be your turn again?" The old man cursed secretly in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face.
Finally, after some thought, the old man thought of a labor task, and then he introduced to Ruian: "There is a labor task that pays quite well. You can get 20 silver coins for one time, but it takes a long time. No.
Do you know if you are interested?"
"Oh, please tell me." Ruian was somewhat interested and thought it would be a good idea to listen.
"Every ten days, our college needs to provide 10 students to go to the city guard to assist the city guard in carrying out a day's work of city guard. The work is relatively simple, but it must be done for a full day's work." The old man said leisurely.
Introducing.
Then he explained the mission situation carefully, and Ruian understood what was going on.
It turns out that there are thousands of soldiers in the City Guard. In the work of guarding the city of Skayas, it is inevitable to work in shifts, and the soldiers also need to take turns to take several days of vacation every month. This resulted in the formation of the City Guard.
There is often a shortage of people.
I don’t know who came up with the idea, thinking that Skayas City is known as the city of academies. It has many academies, and there are countless student swordsmen in the academies who are very powerful. Just take any one of these student swordsmen.
They would not be worse than the soldiers of the City Guard. Therefore, the City Guard proposed to each college that each college must provide a group of students to the City Guard on a regular basis to replace those soldiers who were on leave. Of course, the City Guard still had to pay remuneration.
Many colleges are not satisfied with this requirement, but due to the strength of the City Guards, they have to recruit students in the form of issuing labor tasks. Of course, very few people receive this task each time, and every time the time comes, the college has to forcefully
Some students were assigned to go there, causing anger and resentment.
This is why the Paarl General College issued the task of guarding the city.
After listening to the introduction, Ruian thought about it for a long time. This task would take a whole day and earn 20 silver coins. Fortunately, it only happened once every ten years, otherwise Ruian wouldn't even have to think about it.
Ruian felt that this task was acceptable. After all, it was impossible to have a job that was completely time-consuming and could earn a lot of money.
However, Ruian did not agree immediately. He also wanted to see if there were any other tasks. So, Ruian then asked: "Excuse me, are there any other tasks?"
"Yes, but the reward is only 2 silver coins, and it takes 3 days to complete the labor task. Are you willing to do it?" The cunning look in the old man's eyes seemed to read Ruian's thoughts, and he directly used a poor labor task.
To dispel Ryan's idea of continuing to ask.
"Okay, I accept this labor task from the city guard." Ruian cursed in his mind and then replied.
Then, Ruian registered his information and was told that he would have to do this labor task tomorrow. He must gather at the entrance of the college after dawn, and then gather everyone to go to the city guard.
