Sword and Magic and Taxi

This is a gun shop. I can use my knowledge to improve weapons and even make cannons. I know what rifling is and what self-advocating ammunition is. I can make an AK! There is no business like selling weapons. It’s even more profitable!” Xue Popo clenched his fists and said excitedly: “With money, I can build my own power, marry Bai Jingmei and reach the peak of my life.”

Bai Jingmei? The essence of elves? Zhao Mai was stunned for a moment and thought about it before he figured it out. You might as well call it whitening essence...

Don't complain, I'm talking about business! Xue Xiaozhan snorted, and then a relaxed smile appeared on his lips: But it's nice to hear the long-lost complaints. Chinese is better. I don't understand the language here, so I almost... I'm starving to death. Why didn't you say that the people here speak another language?

Hey, you blame me for this. Don't you go to the subtitle station to complain? All aliens in the universe speak English. Have you ever doubted this? Zhao Mai and Xue Xiaopo looked at each other and laughed a few times. With your current attitude, I would still be willing to talk to you a few more words. If you had met me now, I would probably let my dog ​​bite you to death. No kidding, my dog ​​can really bite people to death.

I was just not prepared and I was too excited. Besides, who has experience when traveling through time for the first time? Did you think about the language problem when you first time traveled? How did you solve it?

There was no language problem in the first place I arrived. The creatures there had telepathy and could directly understand what I meant. However, the environment there was not suitable for me to survive. I almost died after just taking a few breaths. And there We were still fighting, so I hurriedly ran away with my tail between my legs, which must have been quite embarrassing. Looking back with regret, Zhao Mai was sincerely grateful for the language manual left by the old angel, which helped him overcome the communication barriers. You've been in town and haven't gone anywhere else?

I still haven't fully mastered this language, barely enough for daily life. This backward place doesn't even have a dictionary, and the only book in the town is The Argonian Maid. Xue Popo snorted: They all help farmers and masons who have no knowledge. Only a few priests look sophisticated, but they talk about God this and God that. I don't want to listen.

It seems that Xue Popo still doesn't understand the importance of doing as the Romans do. In this world, God does exist. It doesn't mean that you believe in God immediately. At least you have to understand the things about God so that you can live with the people here.

We are time-travelers. Our knowledge completely overwhelms theirs. Why do we still listen to their nonsense? Xue Popo was unconvinced. If it weren't for you, how could they have invented firearms and explosive weapons? A small smoothbore pistol can be sold for three thousand gold coins. It's such a good profit!

Knowledge crushing? Why don't I think so? Zhao Mai thought so at first, but later he gradually realized that he was the stupidest one. You're definitely wrong to think that way. What knowledge do you have to crush them? What on earth - other than complaining - do you have anything to offer?

“I know what to do right and can greatly improve their craft!”

Okay, you can follow the path of the farming reformists, but my advice is to never underestimate the gods, and never underestimate the minds of the residents here. Zhao Mai frowned and said to Xue Xiaopo: I I remember when I picked you up at your home, your family lived in a villa. Life should be pretty good, right? If you hang around here, it will be better than on earth? Let me explain in advance that elves are very good-looking, but have very bad personalities. Special, and they are very old, so they are not easily deceived. I think according to your family's situation, there is no problem in giving you the whole beautiful wife, right?

Elves! Where are they on the earth? Besides, this will be obtained by my own hard work, and it is completely different from a blind date! Xue Qiaozou understood a simple truth: Only what you find through your own efforts is beautiful!

effort? Trying to work as a handyman and apprentice in another time traveler's gun shop? The pace of life in Golarion is slow, not the pace of development on Earth. Even if a gun shop wants to expand in scale, it will be completely constrained by backward basic industrial facilities, which is dozens of times slower than on Earth. Here is still the kind of pattern and rhythm that can only be accumulated by being passed down from generation to generation. There is only one way to get ahead quickly: becoming an adventurer.

The essence of an adventurer is very simple from an economic perspective, which is to concentrate long-term accumulation on an individual or a small group in a short period of time, allowing it to grow explosively. This model has high returns but also high risks. Countless adventurers have died on the road of adventure one after another - this can be regarded as another way of accumulation. Having said that, although the risk of death is great, if Xue Popo continues to accumulate money in the current way, he will probably only be a rich man when he dies. Elves will not marry foreigners because of wealth. When he was on Earth, his parents had helped him through the initial accumulation stage, but he was still not satisfied with such a good foundation. Could it be that when he arrived in Golarion, he would be able to become stronger immediately and get what he wanted?

So, you would rather continue to be an apprentice here, immersed in your longing and dreams for the future, than go home to see your parents? Zhao Mai shook his head: You have to know that your plan requires It takes a long time, can you hold on?”

Of course you can, and it won't be too long. I will get ahead soon. I'm confident!

Whatever... Zhao Mai had nothing to advise. After all, Xue Popo was not his relative, and Zhao Mai had no obligation to teach him how to behave. However, he still wants to provide an opportunity for rapid growth. It depends on whether Xue Popo can seize it.

Xue Pengfei, since you already know that I have a stake in this store, you can stay here with peace of mind. The people here will treat you kindly. I don't come here usually, and I won't even spend the night here today. Zhao Mai He said emphatically: I will go north in a while to help the largest local Druid community fight against monsters. Have you heard about the scary monsters, right? Many adventurers are looking for opportunities to develop.

Many adventurers have died, including some famous strong men. Xue Popo wrinkled the corners of his eyes and said nervously: You come here to get firearms and then die? It is said that firearms have little effect on those monsters. , you just went to deliver food and give them a toothpaste.

Yes, it is quite dangerous, but I am not going to die, but to take risks. Zhao Mai patted his biceps. He is not the kind of strong man with bulging muscles, he just looks a bit muscular and has a good life.

Don't worry, even if you die, this shop will continue to flourish. Xue Popo's answer almost made him lose all his teeth.
