Chapter 187 Tingen Can Have Everything
“No, I got the wrong person. Sorry.” Dunn wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn’t forget her business of getting dinner for Daly. So she walked past Klein, picked up the plate next to her, and started taking the food that she remembered Daly liked to eat.
“Really?” Klein was a little confused, but he didn’t think too much about it. The name “Lion” was very common. Backlund had a population of 500 million, so maybe there was another person named “Klein”.
Speaking of which, there are quite a few women dressed as men in the Nighthawks, Klein sighed. The Ms. Lorota he had met before liked to wear clothes similar to men's clothes, and even liked coffee, desserts, and busty maids... What a strange hobby...
Hmm, maybe this is the tradition of the Nighthawks! I still don't have enough experience...
Klein sat down opposite Old Blue, set the table, and began to eat.
Old Blue concentrated on cutting a piece of tender steak and put it into his mouth. He said to Klein:
"When it comes to welfare, your church is still the best. When I first came to Backlund, I could only live in a small room behind the Holy Wind Cathedral, and they didn't even provide meals..."
“Really…” After comparing the treatments of both sides, Klein felt a sense of honor for no apparent reason. He immediately picked up his knife and fork and said while tasting the lobster:
"I didn't expect the arrangements here to be so thoughtful. The food, accommodation and other supplies are very friendly to people like me who come from other places. I don't have to worry about many things."
"You're right. Maybe I can give Storm some suggestions. Should we do that? Forget it. I'll just come here to eat and drink for free..." Old Blue is now helping the Church of Night. It's no problem for him to eat, drink and live here.
"I have no objection..." Klein replied with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh. This plate of food he took would cost at least 3 soli if he ate it outside! Praise the goddess! He picked up his knife and fork and began to enjoy today's sumptuous dinner, eating with great satisfaction.
As he chewed the tender shrimp meat, his mind was in a mess. When he first traveled through time, he had to worry about the price of bread every day. He and his sister were very happy for a long time after eating a meal of lamb stewed with tender peas... How could he imagine that he could freely use all kinds of high-quality ingredients...
Now, I have been promoted to "Joker", and my weekly salary of 10 pounds is enough for the Moretti family to live a good life, to allow Melissa to receive a better education, and to allow Benson to stop his busy work and have the opportunity to improve himself... and I have more than 3000 pounds in savings! That is the bounty I got after the Qilingos incident! Well, actually from this point of view, Qilingos is also a good person... Of course, it is best to die.
Cough! Thinking of this, Klein had the urge to go to the bank to check the wonderful number again, but he also knew that it would be best not to let his brother and sister know about the money, otherwise they might hesitate for a long time between persuading him to abscond or surrender... Uh, how about making some investments? Buy a house? He chewed a few times and swallowed the food in his mouth, then said to Old Blue:
"Mr. Blue, as you know, I received quite a bit of bounty. I want to buy the house at 2 Daffodil Street where we live now for my family. What do you think?"
Ah? Buy a house? That's a good thing! Old Blue's eyes lit up. It would be great if Klein was willing to take root in this world. The previous world...maybe it doesn't exist anymore, or maybe it still exists. Anyway, since he hadn't seen it destroyed with his own eyes, it didn't count!
But that is not something that needs to be considered in the short term. Now is the last period of peace before the end of the world. It is more practical to enjoy every day... As for the end of the world? Oh, whose end of the world... It is not certain yet.
Old Blue bit the prawn's shell with a crunching sound. The most gratifying thing for him after coming to this world was that he had super useful teeth and a durable digestive system, and he could eat anything! He picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth and said:
"Your idea is somewhat similar to mine when I was young, except that I only had about 100 pounds at that time.
"I won't stop you from doing this, because only when you actually live in a house that belongs entirely to you, will you truly feel...free? Happy? Uh, I can't describe that feeling...
"I remember I said that you can live freely at No. 2 Narcissus Street until you have the conditions and wish to move to a better house..." "I like the 'Ember Sword' you gave me last time... Even if the church reimburses the money, it is also a reflection of your ability. In exchange, the property rights of the house will be handed over to you. I will give you the paper documents after returning to Tingen."
"Don't refuse. I am an old man. I have worked hard all my life. There is not much I can do for you. Daffodil Street is my end point, but it is not yours. It is just your starting point.
"With your promotion speed, you may be transferred to the Backlund Diocese. Your sister may come here to study. Your brother will work here. When you get married and have children, you will also need a better education...
"Perhaps you could consider buying a house in Backlund? This is where the money you've worked so hard for should be spent.
"Well, maybe we can buy a villa in Disi for vacation... It's also good to buy a plantation in the southern continent, but be careful not to be cheated... Let's also buy a villa in Bayam in the Rossde Islands, there..."
Seeing Old Blue talking to himself, Klein was touched and amused. He had expected that Old Blue would not accept his money. It was better to say that ever since Old Blue recognized his identity as a "hometown man", he had always treated him as a junior, giving him all kinds of knowledge and resources, and even wanted to give him all his best... Klein said seriously:
“No matter where I go, I will always remember 2 Daffodil Street. It is my home and my eternal safe haven.
"Backlund... because of what you said before, I'm a little reluctant to let my family come here. Well, Tingen University and Hoy University are both top schools in the country, but unfortunately they don't have the mechanical major that Melissa is interested in... but... safety is still the most important thing."
After hearing and seeing with his own eyes that the Capin traffickers were protected by the royal family, that Qilingos was cooperating with the Psychological Alchemy Society, and the living conditions of the people in the East District, Klein felt that it would be better to keep his naive sister away from these dirty things while she was studying. At least when she grew up and matured, she would have a chance to learn more...
"Not bad, very thoughtful." Old Blue nodded. Backlund would not be peaceful in the days ahead. The demon dog, Duke Negan's assassination, the heavy smog, the Aurora Society's divine descent ceremony, the war... Tsk tsk, it would be better if we didn't know. If we really knew that Backlund would be so afflicted in the future, who would be willing to stay here? Even if we could avoid the previous few things, the war... no one could escape.
“Tingen doesn’t have a good technical university, but we can have one…” Old Blue already had an idea and said to Klein:
"After dinner, when you gather with the rest of the team, you can talk to Deacon Ikanser to see if they are interested in establishing a new university..."
Huh? Klein was confused, and then he realized that the Archbishop Horamik of the Steam Church, the demigod-level strongman, was also a famous scientist and an honorary professor of the Department of Physics at Backlund University.
At the same time, most technical schools are run by the Steam Church, and experts from the Steam Church are not uncommon in other universities. This is also a major reason why university districts in many cities are under the jurisdiction of the Steam Church.
Old Blue wants Steam to set up a technical school in Tingen? Just because of Melissa's schooling?
Klein was shocked. In order to give Benson a good job, would he also need to set up a company specifically to let Benson... Well, considering Old Blue's willfulness, it's possible...
"Klein, you said your brother Benson works for an import and export company. Is he interested in... running a company and becoming its boss?"
“…Is there?” Klein answered reluctantly. He didn’t know whether there was or not.
