Realm Overlord

Chapter 5 Reality is cruel (various requests)
Wowowo...

When the sky gets slightly brighter, the big roosters at home and in the surrounding neighbors can’t wait to make a loud wake-up call.

Lin Qi and his brother immediately got up and went out in their little coats. Their mother had already been busy and the smell of cooking millet porridge and eggs came from the kitchen.

After a simple wash, the two brothers couldn't wait to serve it and enjoy the most nutritious and delicious breakfast of the day.

Millet porridge, boiled eggs, and tofu curd!
As the saying goes, a young man can only live in poverty, and since the two brothers are studying and practicing martial arts, their appetites are surprisingly large.

Each person ate almost three bowls of millet porridge, and ate up the boiled eggs and tofu curds at the same time. Only then was he half full.
"Mom, we're going to school!"

Picking up the schoolbag sewn by her mother, Lin Qi took her younger brother and said goodbye to her mother who was washing the dishes.

"Go, be careful on the road!"

With a smile on her face, her mother watched the two brothers go out together.

As soon as he turned out of the alley, he met his father who looked tired and yawned as if he hadn't slept all night.

Yes, he must have been fighting all night at the card table.

This kind of thing happens often, and Lin Qi has become accustomed to it.

"Go to school. Did your mother give you money for breakfast?"

Seeing the two brothers, Lin Cai was still listless and staggered over, yawning and asking casually.

The younger brother Lin Fan had a stern face and opened his mouth to say something.

Lin Qi, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed his younger brother and spoke first: "Give it, give it!"

As he said that, he took out a copper plate from his schoolbag and handed it to his drowsy father in front of him. He smiled and said: "Father, go buy two big meat buns quickly. There is still official business to be handled at the Yamen. Don't do it." It delayed the business!"

"Hey, you're right, there's a lot of official business to be busy with in the yamen!"

Lin Cai took the coin unceremoniously, put on a posture as if he had just woken up from a dream, turned around and walked away without even bothering to say hello.

Yes, I must have lost all the money in my pocket last night, otherwise I wouldn't be so shameless.

Even if mother gave money for breakfast, it would be for the two brothers.

Without thinking at all, the two brothers had no money for breakfast and what to eat.

"Brother, my mother didn't pay for breakfast, so we ate it at home!"

When his father's figure disappeared at the corner of the street, his younger brother Lin Fan muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why should we give our father money? That's what we have earned so hard!"

"you're so dumb!"

Lin Qi rolled her eyes and said angrily: "If father doesn't get the breakfast money, he will definitely go home and ask mother for it, and there might be another quarrel!"

In the county town, the purchasing power of a copper coin is enough to feed an adult.

Of course, it is rare to see someone as scumbag as his father Lin Cai, at least among people he knows well.

The younger brother Lin Fan suddenly lost his voice, and his face was full of depression.

Meeting a scumbag father is so unpleasant.

It's okay if the two brothers don't have the ability. If they have the ability, they naturally don't want to see noisy things at home all the time.

Not to mention the depressing atmosphere, it also affects my mood.

It’s not easy for the mother either. She has to work in the workshop while being responsible for the housework at home. She also has to deal with her overbearing father and creditors who come to collect debts from time to time. The pressure is already great.

If it weren't for the disapproval of the social environment and the traditional thinking of his mother, Lin Qi would have long ago decided to persuade his mother to divorce his father.

"Stop being so embarrassed, isn't it just a copper plate?"

Lin Qi pulled his younger brother forward and comforted him with a smile: "We can still get it!" "That's easy to say!"

The younger brother was dissatisfied: "One copper plate can buy several sesame seed cakes and several bunches of candied haws, but it's just gone!"

"Look at the greedy one!"

Lin Qi was both angry and funny. She walked through the streets of the county town in the early morning, feeling the unique cool morning breeze, and felt indescribably refreshing and comfortable all over her body.

The steps seemed to have been measured, and there was almost no difference in the amplitude and length of each step.

The breathing rhythm is steady and has a unique rhythm.

The muscles in both hands began to beat slightly, and the palms of the hands soon became hot and dry.

This is a little exercise trick he figured out based on the standard exercise movements in his mind.It means deliberately integrating exercise into daily life, and keeping walking, sitting and lying down is all practice.

The effect is unknown, as Lin Qi has just reached such a rhythm.

However, the introduction to iron-making taught by the county martial arts class gave him a lot of confidence.

As long as you have the ability to protect yourself, money is really not a problem.

If the time traveler doesn't even have this ability, how can he have a future?

"Don't worry, you won't be short of food!"

Lin Qi promised: "In the future, we can earn more copper coins, and our living standards will get better and better!"

Even if it's not for a better future, but just for self-protection, he still has to make good money.

This is an ancient imperial dynasty similar to the Song and Ming Dynasties, and there are many places like brothels and gambling houses in the county.

It is not uncommon for some rotten people to sell their wives and daughters.

There are also gang organizations, and all kinds of dirty things are occasionally heard of.

Although his father Lin Cai is not a gambler, it is an indisputable fact that he is addicted to the card table.

No one can guarantee that his father will suddenly change his position and indulge in gambling. That would be the real disaster.

As long as you have a little understanding of how terrible the gambler is, you will know.

When he is ruthless, he will not recognize his relatives, and he will do anything without limit in order to gamble money or pay off debts.

Lin Qi is too young now. At 11 years old, his body is not strong and his skills are only average. He cannot fight against the casino or moneylenders.

If your worries come true, if you don’t have money to deal with it, you may really be stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate yourself.

Lin Qi would never allow such a thing to happen, so he naturally had to find a way to make money.

Glass soap and white sugar, this is a three-piece set for time-travelers to make money.

As a student majoring in science and engineering in his previous life, he had read many historical time travel novels, so he was naturally able to do it.

Unfortunately, due to his young age and lack of strength, he had not had time to take action.

When he overheard some secrets in the yamen from his father Lin Cai, he was very grateful for his caution and did not dare to act rashly.

My father was a well-informed official in the government office. Several times when he was drinking at home, he accidentally told the story about the extermination of several merchants in the city.

According to my father, those merchants were really a pity.

It was all due to the accumulation of capital bit by bit from a young peddler, and even the efforts of several generations of his family, that he finally opened a shop in the county town. However, he was targeted by the powerful men in the county town, who ruthlessly devoured him until no bones were left.

These tycoons have connections and force, and they are not unreasonable at all. They see the benefits and rob them directly. If they want to make money and get rich by doing business in the county without a foundation, they are asking for death!
