Chapter 21 Solicitation and Removal

"This is not the reward I deserve. At the same time, I want to thank you for showing me the mystery of Lingwen and the power of Extraordinary."

Lilith handed the bag containing the 20 gold pounds reward to Truman, forced herself to let go of her reluctant hand, and left without looking back.

She walked so fast, as if she was afraid that she would regret it, but Truman was a little surprised. She didn't expect that although Lilith loved money, she got it in a proper way.

"I borrowed it from you!"

Truman shouted at Lilith's back.

The members of the group will all receive equal remuneration, which is a rule set by the workshop owner. Without Lilith, Truman would only be paid 20 gold pounds.

From this point of view, Lilith did indeed give Truman what she could get according to the rules.

Truman just happened to be short of money to upgrade, so he was disrespectful, but he would pay it back.

After saying goodbye to Lilith, Truman walked back to his rented apartment.

This apartment is located in the DC area of ​​Lundini City, only one kilometer away from the potion workshop. It is said that it was converted from a nobleman's mansion, so the rent is very high, 3 gold pounds per month.

The tenant of the house claimed to be a relative of the nobleman, with hands and eyes in the sky, able to protect the property and personal safety of the occupants, which was an added value, and Truman also took a fancy to this.

As a time traveler, and a time traveler in progress, Truman's greatest need in this world is safety.

Back at the apartment this evening, the landlord urged Truman for food expenses as usual. Truman threw him a gold pound. After receiving the money, the landlord gritted his teeth and complained that Truman must pay the money on time in the future without delay.

Apparently, the landlord didn't have the service consciousness of "customer is God", and Truman didn't bother to talk to him. This day exhausted Truman.

But work still has to be done.

First he rested for a while, and when the time travel came, he began to organize and record the harvest on the earth side.

He saw four Extraordinary sequences today.

Although it is only the extraordinary level, it is the most entry-level level.

But still dazzled.

"I have already saved enough gold pounds. I will try to be promoted to an 'actor'. There are definitely risks, but with my 'share', the probability of success will be greater than that of Anton..."

The reason why Truman's "share" is so large is firstly because of talent, and secondly because of the biotechnology of the earth.

But the superposition of the two is not enough for Truman to translate the 20-character super "continuous word" at one time.

"The master of the workshop must be suspicious. I can feel that she didn't ask me directly, maybe she is already on guard? What about me? I should resign after I get the potion, right?"

Truman pondered, but what would he do after resigning?

Can the extraordinary sequence he is about to obtain support him to survive in this strange and treacherous world with the secret of time travel?
Another difficult question is where does the money to support his life come from?

……

Early the next morning.

Truman is sleeping.

There was a knock on the door.

After being awakened, Truman took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was 6 in the morning.

Truman frowned and opened the door, only to see a distorted face with enthusiasm.

It was the landlord. At this moment, the wrinkles on his face flew to the sky together, forming a funny smile.

"Mr. Truman, I am very sorry to disturb you so early, but there is one thing I must tell you." The landlord said.

It was the first time that Truman heard the serious word 'you' from the landlord. When he said 'you' before, it was always with irony.

"If you don't want to increase the rent, just say it." Truman yawned.

"How could it be! There is a gentleman waiting for you in the hall, and he wishes to see you as soon as possible."

When the landlord mentioned the gentleman, his smile became brighter, which made Truman realize that the landlord's respect was not because of him, Truman himself.

Who is it?

Truman went downstairs to the foyer with doubts, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in serious black and wearing a silver wig.

Isn't this the butler from Habsburg?
Truman stared at the butler suspiciously, and was a little embarrassed to realize that he didn't know his name.

"Dear Mr. Truman, Little Baron Habs sends his greetings to you." The butler didn't introduce himself, but straight to the point stated his purpose of coming.

Truman was keenly aware that when he heard the name of 'Little Baron Habs', the landlord who followed him bent his waist downwards, and his smile grew wider. Obviously, this name was very shocking.

"Thank you Baron." Truman responded, of course he knew there were other programs.

Sure enough, the butler took out a black velvet bag embroidered with the Habbs family crest, and handed it heavily to Truman.

"This is the baron's encouragement to your extraordinary achievements, and he sent you a sincere invitation, hoping that you can work for Habsburg."

……

There must be a 10 gold pound...

On the way to work, Truman was still thinking about the feel of that purse.

There must be at least 10 gold pounds.

Of course Truman didn't ask for it, but returned it.

There is an oriental proverb on the earth called 'no reward without merit'.

There is also an old saying called 'short handedness'.

Once Truman takes the Habsburg gold pound, if the little Baron Habs uses this as a threat to ask Truman to steal some secrets from the Potion Workshop, will Truman agree or not?
Truman, who has an "anti-fraud APP" installed in his mobile phone on the other side of the earth, deeply understands that all being deceived is due to greed.

Ten gold pounds is far from enough to buy Truman, and 10 is not enough, 100... well, a little shaken. For 1000... Hehehe.

I'm not worth it either.

Truman shook his head and smiled.

Of course, although he tactfully rejected the money that Bai took, Truman did not refuse the invitation to work.For work, Truman always has respect.

Came to the potion workshop and met the master of the workshop.

The owner of the workshop got up very early today, and even summoned Truman in her office and bedroom at 8 o'clock. The picture of Begonia sleeping in spring made Truman's eyes shine.

"Ha..." The master of the workshop covered his mouth lightly, "Have you brought any money?"

"Bring it." Truman put the purse on the carpet, which contained the 20 gold pounds sent by the owner of the workshop yesterday, plus the 15 gold pounds that Truman had saved before.

35 gold pounds to buy the formula of the extraordinary first-order 'actor' sequence plus potion materials.

Truman wanted to buy two sets of materials, but the owner of the workshop said that it was meaningless and a waste, so Truman followed suit.

Truman returned the 20 gold pounds before warming it up, and added the 15 gold pounds he had saved so hard. At this moment, Truman didn't feel sorry, but only looked forward to it.

"Okay." The master of the workshop flicked the money bag with his snow-white toe painted in Danko color, revealing a pile of gold coins, and then nodded to express his satisfaction.

"Go to 'Hui Ji' to take away your formula, potion ingredients and unpaid wages." The workshop owner said lazily, "Then you will no longer be my student."
