First Player Chapter 904

Su Mingan immediately glanced over these high-priced courses, and looked at some courses with relatively ordinary prices.

[Elementary dance class], [Elementary piano art class], [Elementary painting class], the price of this kind of course is 5 grams per semester, which is an acceptable price. [Elementary Literature Course], [Elementary Engineering Course], this kind of course that is more knowledge-oriented will be slightly more expensive, and the price for one semester is 20 grams. The cheaper ones are skills courses such as [Elementary Cooking Class], [Elementary Tailoring Class], [Elementary Blacksmithing Class]. The price for one semester is between 2 and 5 grams.

The reason is also very simple—the teachers are different. Like [Elementary Military Class], the children have to attend classes at the military school in Wangcheng, and the teachers are all military advisers who have retired from the army. And like [Elementary Cooking Class], you can go to the canteen across the block to attend the class, and the chef aunt in the canteen can be the teacher.

Because the school and the teacher are different, the price of the course is also different.

Su Mingan did some research and found that the player's decision-making is very important. Even [Elementary Cooking Class] is divided into [Royal Cooking Class] and [Canteen Cooking Class]. If you pay a little more money, you can let your child learn from the royal chef, which will improve many attributes. If you pay very little money, you can only let your children learn from the aunt in the dining hall, and the improved attributes will be relatively small.

"It's really...true." Su Mingan thought for a while. This is similar to Zhai Xing's situation. Children from wealthy families are more likely to get a better education. Even if they don't pay attention to class, countless cram schools are suppressed, as long as they are willing to study a little bit, they can go up. As for the children of ordinary families, if they don't study hard, they really have no chance.

From this point of view, how to balance your own money and your child's attributes is a big problem in this game. The difficulty of the game does not lie in fighting monsters and upgrading, but in the decision-making of cultivation.

【Girl: Mr. Detective...】

Seeing Su Mingan's embarrassed expression, Alice on the sofa made a sound.

【Girl: I can study by myself, as long as you bring some books back, I can read them by myself. 】

【Detective: That will delay you. I'll find a way to get you to school. 】

【Girl (incomprehensible): I don't understand why you are so nice to me. 】

【Detective: Don't think of me as a good person, I just have another purpose. 】

【Girl: I once heard a saying, "You don't care about your deeds". No matter what purpose you have for me, you are indeed the one who saved me. If it weren't for you, I would have frozen to death in a back alley tonight, and the 39 kerr you left behind certainly helped my fellows. You changed our fate, didn't you? I am willing to entrust my future to you. You saved my life. You are a good person in my eyes. 】

【Detective:...】

Su Mingan continued to look down in silence.

He suddenly discovered that there are many work columns under these courses. Such as [hospital handyman], [tutor], [going out to set up a stall], [selling newspapers on the street], [moving bricks on the construction site], [church volunteers], [black street thugs], etc.

After all, what is arranged here is the child's "schedule", whether it is study, work, or life and leisure, it is a part of the schedule. In addition to studying, children can help players earn money by working to prevent players from only going out of money.

In addition, there are also vacation options such as [City Tour], [Seaside Vacation], and [World Tour], each of which requires a lot of money, and should be exclusive to wealthy families.

Looking at these schedule choices, Su Mingan once again felt the pain caused by the lack of money. Before the final war comes, players have limited time to train their children. If you always let your children work part-time, it will be difficult for them to have time to improve their attributes through learning, and in the end they will only die if they encounter a war. But without a part-time job, and the children have no money to go to school, they still die in the end.

This is different from ordinary cultivation games. The development of this game is real and cruel. There is always a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the players and children. If the training is not in place, both parties will die in the end.

At this time, even though the background music in his ears seemed relaxed and warm, Su Mingan didn't think this game was very healing. The urgency of the lack of funds oppressed him strongly.

He looked at the girl who was wiping her hair on the sofa.

—She is the child named by the eyes of the old days.

—She is the training object of the No. 1 Dream Watcher.

If she is not strong enough in the end, she will definitely meet an extremely tragic ending. It is impossible for Su Mingan to cultivate a leisurely painter like Su Luoluo. This girl is definitely going to be involved in something extremely important in the end.

Su Mingan still remembers that at the beginning of the game, the game reminded him that this game has a main storyline, and the girl is likely to have a lot to do with this main storyline.

Only if she is strong enough, can she survive in the end.

【Detective: …That's right. 】

【Detective: System. Is it okay if I go to work by myself? 】

Under Su Mingan's inquiry, the prompt text of the game appeared:

【Players can earn money through their own efforts. But please note that you are not a spectator of this game, you are in the game. If you obtain money illegally, you will most likely be caught by the guards. If you are exposed to too many dangerous things, you are likely to have a nervous breakdown, so please proceed carefully. 】

The background of this game is not simple. There are "abnormalities", "instant death rules", and "black mist disease". And there is no resurrection, if the player dies, he will completely lose the qualification to play this game.

【Detective: Alice, I'm going out to find some money and come back. 】

【Girl: It's late at night, you should rest for a night first. No matter where you're going, it's past three in the morning and nowhere will be open. 】

Su Mingan originally wanted to go directly to Wangcheng and chat with the supreme ruler here. But he looked at the night outside the window, it was snowing heavily, and now is really not the time to go out.

He flipped through the books at home, Wangcheng usually welcomes guests at noon, it seems that it will wait until daytime.

【Detective: Then I'll quit the game first...Huh? 】

Su Mingan is about to quit the game. The game prompt pops up:

【Because this game is a development game, the time span is relatively large. Please arrange your child's schedule for the next semester before quitting the game. 】

【Please note: 0:00 and 12:00 every day are time nodes that span the "one semester". 】

Su Ming'an understood—it's three o'clock in the morning, and when it's twelve noon, the time in this world will suddenly be pushed back by one semester, just like the time jump in Kaiusta. When the player goes offline, it is the 32nd year of the catastrophe, and it may have reached the 42nd year of the catastrophe when the player goes online.

Cultivation games are generally like this. After the player arranges the child's schedule, the time will automatically advance for a period of time.

In "Girl's Dream Project", the time limit is fixed—[every twelve hours, advance "one semester" in an instant. 】

【Detective: From this point of view... half a day has passed in this world, and half a year has passed in this game. One day passes in this world, and one year passes in this game. and so on. 】

【Detective: In other words, I have to arrange Alice's schedule for the next semester. Because if I go online after twelve noon, half a year has passed in this world. 】

Su Mingan looked at Alice. She had already wiped her hair, and stared at him with a pair of moist eyes.

Seeing Alice's timid appearance, the original words of the Eye of the Old echoed in Su Ming'an's mind: [Detective, as long as you raise her up, all your glory and wealth will come from her. 】

Cultivate adults?

Su Mingan was thinking.

How to cultivate an adult?

Training a child into an artist who can't eat enough to eat but has a rich spiritual world is considered a failure? To cultivate a child into a social machine that only knows how to make money, and to become a successful person in the social sense, is it considered that the parents have successfully cultivated it?

These questions may be meaningful in an era of abundant resources, but in an era when wars are approaching, Su Mingan hopes that Alice can become stronger so that she can survive in the future.

【Detective: Alice. I want you to be stronger. As for those dancing, painting, and playing the piano, you may never have the opportunity to touch them again, is that okay? 】

【Girl: Mr. Detective, you have already shown me great kindness by supporting me to live. You can still help me go to school, then I would like to thank you even more. Whatever you want me to learn, I will take it. 】

【Detective: Your age is twelve and a half years old. I just checked. Children cannot go to school until they are thirteen years old, so in the first semester, tell me what you want to do. In the second semester, when you are of age, you can go to school. 】

【Girl: Mr. Detective. I'm...I'm kind of interested in medicine, can you let me help Aunt Jenny's nurse station next door? 】

Su Mingan looked at the job column in [Schedule], and there was indeed a [Nurse station helper], who could earn 10 Kerr per semester, which was a very common job. The job description is: [Let the child work as a helper at the nurse's station in the next street, doing some chores of moving medical supplies and recording books. 】

The game prompt appears:

【With the continuous improvement of children's attributes, the types of jobs will continue to increase, and more advanced jobs will be unlocked! 】

[When the child contacts more and more people in the future and triggers more and more events, the child will additionally start some jobs that are impossible to contact in normal ways, such as [Prince], [Knight of the King City], [Devil King], etc. Stay tuned! 】

...What the **** is the devil! Does that count as work?

Su Mingan noticed that the story background of this game is not a simple steam era. Many things are hidden under the deep sea like icebergs, which have not yet been excavated by players.

The jobs that Alice can do now are very limited, such as [hawker helper], [going out to set up a stall], [moving bricks on the construction site], etc., just like the jobs that ordinary people can do. Considering that she is only thirteen years old, these jobs are very important. It was even difficult for her.

Su Mingan doesn't know what her future will be like.

He looked at the hundreds of courses and hundreds of job categories, and there were thousands of courses and jobs that hadn't been unlocked—he suddenly realized that she seemed to have infinite possibilities.

【Detective: The work of a helper at the nurse station is still too hard for your age. You can choose to stay at home and rest for half a year without having to go out to work. 】

【Girl: It's okay. I know Aunt Jenny at the nurse's station. She is a kind-hearted person who sometimes helps us waifs. If I could go to work with her, she would teach me about medicine, and that alone would be enough for me. Please promise me. 】

Seeing this, Su Mingan chose the option of [Nurse Station Helper]. The next moment, a text appeared in [Schedule]:

【First Semester: Helper at Nursing Station】.

When this line of text appears, all other courses and work are darkened. It seems that only one activity can be arranged for children in a semester.

【Detective: Alice, I have already arranged your schedule. I'll leave first. 】

【Girl: Okay, Mr. Detective. 】

Su Mingan exited the game to test it. He found that after he exited the game, the detectives in the game would disappear simultaneously, leaving only Alice in the room.

Considering that Alice may not be safe alone, Su Mingan plans to sleep in the game tonight and not quit the game for the time being.

【Girl: Detective, why are you back again? 】

【Detective: I'm not leaving, you go take a hot bath and go to bed early. 】

There is only one bed in the room, and Su Mingan is going to buy some furniture during the day - of course, the premise of everything is money, and he has to find a way to get money.

Su Mingan fell into bed. Alice slept on the sofa not far from the bed. There was a distance between the two, and the room was very quiet, only the occasional sound of fire from the fireplace could be heard.

Su Mingan lay on the bed that was not soft, his back was hardened, and he felt the embarrassment of being poor again.

"...Master Detective." The girl's subtle voice came from there.

"..." Su Mingan breathed evenly.

"...Thank you, Detective," said the girl.

Su Mingan didn't reply.

"...I originally thought that my whole life would be to linger in back alleys, and then grow up like those sisters in the slums, who would be easily bullied by others...I didn't have any expectations for myself." The girl said:

"—But because of you, I'm starting to look forward to the future."

Su Mingan turned over.

"Sleep." He closed his eyes and said.

There is no sound from the girl.

The white snow outside the window flutters on the blurred window glass, like pure white goose feathers, and like the touch of angel wings.

Su Mingan fell into a deep sleep amidst the crackling fire. The warm fire light danced on his face, and the closed eyelids glowed with a warm light.

After Su Mingan fell asleep, the girl's voice floated gently.

"...Master Detective, today's heavy snow is so beautiful."

"Good night."
