Let's start by analyzing the sun

Chapter 4 【4】Silver Coin and Black Cat

The last class in the afternoon is usually a self-study period dedicated to students doing homework.

At this time, the sky had darkened considerably.

Several gray crystal lamps in the classroom were all lit up.

Cheng Han squinted at the elegantly shaped gray crystal lamps, his mind racing.

The so-called 'gray crystal lamps' are lighting devices powered by 'gray crystals,' which are special crystals containing a small amount of source energy.

In addition, crystal energy vehicles speeding on the roads and various machines operating in factories are also driven by gray crystals.

Cheng Han gave these items a name – Crystal Energy Technology.

However, although gray crystals are useful, they are relatively expensive, and only wealthy families can afford them.

The Qinglin City Council treats schools exceptionally well, covering the school's lighting costs, so students can enjoy the bright gray crystal lamps for free.

By the way, there is no electricity in this world at all.

There is no static electricity in life, and there has never been lightning in the sky.

Cheng Han once tried to build a hand-cranked generator, but unfortunately, he couldn't even find a magnetic object, and the people around him didn't know what magnetism was.

At this moment, Qian Qingqing was sitting next to him, occasionally stealing glances at his profile.

Cheng Han noticed his deskmate's gaze and turned to ask, "Why are you always looking at me?"

Qian Qingqing's tone was a little ethereal: "I increasingly feel that you are completely different from the other boys in the class."

Cheng Han blinked: "How are I different?"

Qian Qingqing gave an example: "In yesterday's history class, the teacher talked about several terrible disasters related to the 'Three Great Outer Gods,' saying that the Outer Gods are the source of all disasters.

"But you said that human desires are the root cause, and even if there were no Outer Gods, as long as humans still have desires such as greed, there would always be disasters in the world.

"I didn't believe it at the time, but when I went home and had dinner yesterday, I talked to my dad about what you said. He thought you were right and said that your insights surpassed many adults."

Cheng Han smiled and said nothing more.

Where were there Outer Gods on Blue Star in his previous life?

But opening the history books, how many despots and traitors were there, and how many emperors lived in luxury and extravagance, and countless local tyrants and evil gentry did all kinds of evil.

Behind the collapse of every dynasty, the root cause was actually a major problem with the distribution of benefits, leading to financial collapse, and ultimately to national collapse.

"Ding Ling~"

The bell rang for the end of class.

The classroom immediately became lively.

Cheng Han quickly packed his personal belongings and said goodbye to the little girl: "See you tomorrow!"

Qian Qingqing gave a sweet smile: "See you tomorrow!"

Wen Jie, who was sitting in the back row, felt jealous again upon seeing this.

For Cheng Han, saying "See you tomorrow" every day was just a trivial matter, but for Wen Jie, it was something unattainable.

Cheng Han walked out of the teaching building, inserted his right hand into his pants pocket, grasped a silver coin, and muttered, "Deduce where I can find money."

This was exactly how he usually 'earned' living expenses.

Based on experience, if he directly deduced, he could succeed five times out of ten.

But if he held a coin, he could get useful information seven times.

Cheng Han called this phenomenon "correlation," that is, when deducing information, if he held related items, he could greatly increase the success rate.

Soon, he saw a illusory image:

A coin was buried in the shallow soil under a bush. Perhaps because the skill level was not high, the picture was a bit blurry, making it difficult to identify the type of coin.

The illusion changed several times, indicating the general route.

Mental energy was consumed by another 0.5 points, leaving only 0.6 points, but proficiency still did not increase.

Cheng Han felt a slight dizziness.

This was the result of mental energy dropping to a low level.

Cheng Han muttered in a low voice: "East Tai Road, need to take a bit of a detour."

The school gate was quite lively at this time. In addition to a large number of students, there were also some parents who came to pick up their children.

Several four-wheeled vehicles were parked on the road, their appearance quite similar to cars from the 1930s in his previous life. These were the crystal energy vehicles of this world, priced at more than twenty gold coins, and only wealthy people could afford them.

Qian Qingqing's family had bought one, and this little girl was driven to and from school by her father every day.

On the other side, there was also a group of riding beasts nearly two and a half meters tall, their bodies covered with thick gray feathers, occasionally making "ang ang" sounds.

Any Blue Star person, upon witnessing them, would definitely blurt out – dinosaurs.

Because the appearance of these riding beasts was so similar to the fire盗龙 of prehistoric Blue Star.

They were called "feather beasts," and their function was equivalent to horses. The price was no less than eight gold coins, and most families with better economic conditions would purchase a feather beast as a means of transportation.

Crystal energy vehicles were a product of industrial civilization, while feather beasts were full of wild aura, yet the two were mixed together.

Cheng Han pushed an old bicycle and thought, "Only a transmigrator can see this magical scene, right?"

The bicycle was one of the assets left by the predecessor. It was at least ten years old, and it creaked everywhere when riding, as if it might fall apart at any time.

The predecessor had planned to carry out a major overhaul, but he was short of money and had never been able to take action.

After Cheng Han transmigrated, he repeatedly used the "pick up money大法," and picked up four silver coins in the first month, bought a large batch of parts, replaced the severely aging parts, and repainted it, restoring it to eighty percent new.

The predecessor's long-cherished wish was so easily realized.

A quarter of an hour later.

Cheng Han rode his bicycle and arrived at East Tai Road.

This was the factory area. There were not many people on the road at this time, and the factory buildings on both sides were brightly lit.

The factories in this world generally implemented an "889" work system, that is, working from 8 am to 8 pm, and only resting for one day after working for nine days.

He looked at this scene and couldn't help but grumble, "I will never go to a factory again."

After walking dozens of meters, Cheng Han found a large area of bushes close to the wall. He compared his memory and nodded: "This should be it!"

Cheng Han parked his bicycle, walked to the bushes, took out a small shovel, and began to dig in the mud.

After more than ten seconds, he heard a "ding" sound, and the shovel hit a hard object.

Cheng Han's face lit up: "Found it!"

He reached into the soil and groped a few times, and sure enough, he touched a coin-shaped object, wiped off the mud on the surface, revealing a silver-white metallic texture.

It was actually a silver coin!

With a cheat in hand, making money is so easy!

Cheng Han grinned: "The silver coin has been buried, probably lost here a long time ago."

If the coin could find its owner, he would take the initiative to return it. If it had been lost for too long, and the current level of the Omniscient Eye was not high, he could not trace it, so he could only accept it with a smile.

He cheerfully tossed the silver coin lightly: "Time to go home."

"Meow~"

A meow came over.

Cheng Han suddenly turned his head and looked at the wall behind him, only to see a black cat squatting on the top of the wall, a pair of green eyes staring straight at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the black cat leaped lightly into the wall and disappeared.

Cheng Han's heart jumped heavily, and a faint sense of unease arose.

He couldn't help but frown: "Is this an illusion? Or is this possibly a bad omen?"

Cheng Han pondered for a moment and made a decision: "For safety's sake, it's best to use the Omniscient Eye to deduce it. However, my mental energy is almost exhausted, so let's go home and recover it first."

He straddled his bicycle and left quickly.
