A Beta boy working part-time in another world
Chapter 2: Working as a Clerk in the Magical Plane (02)
"I come from the 21st century, which is about one or two hundred years different from your time, but it should not be the same dimension." Ye Sui explained.
"I also hired a bodyguard, who will probably be here soon." Qin Xiang stood up and poured tea, handing it to Ye Sui. "His identity is also the future, but I don't know what his era is like. Are you a college student?"
"Hmm..." Ye Sui nodded, not noticing Qin Xiang's slightly trembling fingers.
During the Republic of China era when Qin Xiang lived, wars were raging, the country was in ruins, families were ruined, and scholars were precious and rare.
Knowledge perished in the ravages of war and artillery fire, and scholars became the targets of the enemy.
Her family, her parents, and everyone of her generation lived a life of displacement, and thousands of years of cultural accumulation turned into a wisp of smoke.
Qin Xiang was an ordinary person who ran a bookstore in the Republic of China. When the invaders broke through the city gate and were about to burn down her bookstore, she accidentally bound herself to the system and successfully escaped the war and survived without dying in the massacre.
The system said that everything was fair. If she wanted to survive, she had to sell more and more books. The books she sold would turn into points. The points could be used to jump through time and space, and could also be used to buy many things in the future.
She bought her computer with the points she had saved over the past few days.
As a store owner, Qin Xiang has only just figured out the functions of the system.
She managed this alien continent called "Kel" alone for two months, and found that the people here could use magic, and gradually became worried and afraid.
Fortunately, she sold some books in the past two months, hired a bodyguard and a salesperson, and was able to make a living.
But two people are not enough. After all, in the face of magic, her shop can easily fall into danger, and she herself may also encounter danger in the other world.
Qin Xiang was a novice and didn't dare to reveal too much to Ye Sui.
She was not sure about the character of this young man. What if he figured out her personality and stabbed her in the back? She would be hard to guard against.
Similarly, Ye Sui did not dare to reveal too much about the fact that he was a novice.
After a brief chat, Ye learned that there was a bedroom upstairs. With the boss's consent, Ye got up and went upstairs to rest.
It is night here and it is not yet dawn, which is different from the time in Ye Sui's original plane.
He had no choice but to adapt to the local customs and wait until daybreak.
As soon as he left, the second contractor was teleported there.
A tall man suddenly appeared in the office, the wind was strong and the feeling of oppression was strong.
Qin Xiang looked at the tall man in front of him. He was wearing tattered clothes and had a strange thing on his waist. It should be a weapon. He didn't look like a man from the future at all.
He was dressed too poorly, his skin was the color of buckwheat from being exposed to the sun, his muscles were solid, and he looked intimidating even without opening his mouth.
With the previous impression, Qin Xiang thought that the man in front of her should also be from a peaceful era.
Little did she know that in the next tens of thousands of years, the status of human beings would be at the bottom of society, even survival would be a struggle, and human nature would be empty.
How could people who grew up in this era dress neatly?
"My name is Qin Xiang, and I'm the boss here."
The man glanced at the woman, nodded, and said, "Ye Gui."
Qin Xiang was a little surprised. "Your last name is also Ye. The librarian I hired earlier also had the last name Ye."
After the woman finished speaking, she did not notice that the man in front of her was trembling slightly with his fingers, as if he was trying hard to hold back something. Finally, he suppressed it and looked at Qin Xiang expressionlessly.
"Where's my lounge?"
"Upstairs." Qin Xiang replied.
It seems that the man in front of him is very experienced and this is probably not his first time working.
Seeing the man turning around and preparing to leave, she reminded him, "You can choose any room."
After the man left, Qin Xiang finally showed an expression of relief on her face.
The calmness and composure shown before were all fake. Facing such a murderous man, even Qin Xiang, who lived in a war-torn era, would involuntarily be afraid and wary of him.
“What a trouble! It seems that I have recruited a dangerous person, but…” Magic exists in this era.
She didn't have enough points, so she couldn't hire employees who also had magic.
These two people were cheap employees that he carefully selected and found after searching for a long time.
With a computer, Qin Xiang can log in to the plane recruitment website and buy books to replenish her stock on the computer.
Qin Xiang knew that the system was very powerful.
This time of recruiting employees used up all of Qin Xiang's points. She took a deep breath and decided to sell more books tomorrow to make up for the loss.
What she was most worried about was this era, an era where magic flourished, and the books in her world were simply not worth reading by people who knew magic.
Something that can be solved with a magic trick is probably just garbage in the eyes of people of this era.
She made a lot of money in the first two months, and the books were sold to ordinary people.
Although it is a magical world, not everyone can learn magic.
Moreover, the gap between the rich and the poor here is huge. Ordinary people don’t have such good treatment, even worse than the poor people of her time.
…………
Waking up on the first morning in another world.
Ye Sui looked stupidly at the streets with different styles outside the bookstore, which were filled with buildings from the 16th century Europe.
A busy crowd, slaves dressed simply and poorly.
A poor person only has a piece of cloth to cover his shame, it is not uncommon for people to walk barefoot, and rich people wear gold and silver.
This gap between the rich and the poor is particularly striking.
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Qin Xiang explained: "There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor here. There are nobles and the Holy Church of Light. There is a huge class gap between the nobles and the poor. My shop happens to be located on the street in the slums."
Ye Sui thought to himself that this era seemed very dangerous.
The two twins at the door saw Ye Sui and were curious about Ye Sui and Ye Gui who appeared out of nowhere overnight.
When the twins saw Qin Xiang, they ran over with excitement and admiration in their eyes.
"My lady witch, breakfast is ready."
"Okay, Daphne, thank you for your hard work." Qin Xiang touched the top of Daphne's head and watched her happily run to the kitchen.
Qin Xiang said to the two people beside him, "Let's go eat too."
The kitchen is outside the bookstore, in a small house. Cooking is done on a stove, not modern household appliances.
Five people sat around a square table.
The twins are the most hardworking. Daphne is the older sister and the younger brother is Latim. Both are indigenous people.
After the meal, Qin Xiang handed the purse to Daphne using the currency exchanged from the system.
"Take your brother and finish shopping for food for the next few days."
Daphne was very happy. She took the purse and bowed deeply.
"Okay, witch!"
