Life in a different world begins with hidden strength

Chapter 3 You will live with me from now on

"It's special!"

The goblin shop owner paused and lowered his voice with a mysterious expression: "General slimes can only eat organic matter, such as food residues, leaves, etc. This slime can eat stones and metals. It is a super rare slime. Mutated varieties.”

"It looks like it's in very bad condition...as if it's about to die." Yinfei knelt down and looked at it, willing to lower the price for profiteers.

"Indeed." The goblin shop owner did not deny: "It is difficult to raise. It must consume a large amount of magic power every day to maintain life activities. Otherwise, it will fall into a deep sleep. It is recommended that it be raised by a powerful spell caster."

"In addition to eating stones and iron powder, what else is special about it?" Mi Jia'an asked.

The goblin shop owner thought for a while and replied: "First of all, things are rare and valuable. This mutant slime is probably the only one in the world. There has never been any schizont. I can make a contract guarantee. Secondly, it The excrement is a new type of material that may have special uses. It is very good for the caster to use for research or writing a paper. Finally, the shape can be freely changed according to the caster's wishes. It can be used as armor and attached perfectly to The surface of the body protects the owner from harm.”

"Interesting! What's the price?" Mi Jia'an motioned to take it out and take a look.

"One hundred gold...Oh, no...Twenty gold after the discount..." The goblin shop owner jumped off the stool, spent a lot of effort, moved the black slime up from the glass display cabinet on the bottom floor, and exhaled heavily. .

"Are you crazy! A slime dares to ask for Jinlong!" Yinfei stretched out her index finger and poked the appearance of the mutated black slime. Compared to other types of slime, it has a very hard feel. She used some strength, and the surface was slightly dented, which felt very bad.

Pick it up and try the weight. It's like a high-density metal block.

"You're kidding! It's so heavy, it's a burden for a warrior, let alone a mage? And it's probably not big enough."

Mi Jiaan slowly shook his head: "It is impossible for a mage to use such a heavy slime. A warrior can use it, but there is no way to feed it."

The goblin shop owner was speechless for a moment, his eyes rolling wildly: "But it's rare!"

"I can give you a Jinlongshou! If you don't want to take action, just let it die in your hand. This slime may have a few more days to live. Its transformation ability can only be used if it is alive..." Mi Jia'an showed a look of loss of interest.

"Hardware! As long as it's hardware..." the goblin shop advocate opened his palm to show that he wanted to bargain.

Mi Jia'an grabbed Yin Fei's wrist, turned and left.

"Wait for the customers! I agree!" the goblin shop owner shouted in a sharp voice.

Stopping losses in time is a required course for an excellent businessman. If he really died in his hands, he would never see the lovely Jin Long again.

Both parties complete the transaction.

Mi Jianan picked up the black mutated slime and walked out of the store.

"Master, you can leave the bargaining to me in the future." Yin Fei followed Mi Jia'an closely, secretly complaining in her heart that spending one gold to buy a slime was too extravagant.

You know, one gold dragon can be exchanged for one hundred silver dollars at the bank, and the average monthly salary of ordinary people in the capital is only three silver dollars.

Mi Jiaan hummed casually: "Do you want to buy something to eat? You're welcome."

Thinking of the possibilities of black slime, he secretly felt very good.

"Master, my home is nearby. Can we go back by the way?" Yinfei timidly made a small request.

Mi Jiaan readily agreed.

They said it was nearby, but in fact they walked about two kilometers.

The two stood in front of the gate of a three-story building.

The exterior wall looks a little badly weathered, and the white wall is full of holes. A line of text is engraved on the roadside stone: Bell Street Branch of the Nunnery of Saint Mary. It turned out to be a chain brand. Mi Jiaan resisted the desire to complain and looked sideways at Yin Fei: "Do you live here?"

"Yes, do you want to come in and sit down?"

Mi Jiaan decisively refused, preferring to blow the cold wind outside rather than go in to meet her parents. After all, he would bully someone else's daughter later.

His eyes wandered, looking at the ground and then at the sky, and he pondered for a while: "You will live with me in the future and become a member of the new family. Bring whatever you need with you, and I won't go in."

"Master, you'd better go in, it's so cold outside..." Yin Fei invited again and again.

However, Mi Jiaan was determined and pretended to be impatient.

"Go back quickly, I'll wait for you for a quarter of an hour at most."

Yin Fei hurriedly walked into the small courtyard and opened the ajar door.

Warm air blew in my face, and coals were burning in the fireplace in the reception hall on the first floor.

Nuns wearing black veils, white blouses and black skirts sit in rows on horizontal chairs.

Some people are reading books, some are praying with their eyes closed, and the atmosphere is very quiet.

Sister Fina stood on the podium, responsible for maintaining order. There were sacred scriptures and teachings on the table. She raised her eyes and glanced at her daughter who came in. She didn't pay much attention until she saw her carrying large and small bags and preparing to leave. Unable to remain calm, the voice from the heart shouted: "Yinfei, stop! What are you going to do?"

The surrounding eyes followed Fina's figure striding down the steps with curiosity.

The mother and daughter stood in front of the door talking, but no sound came out.

Isolating sound is just a small trick for spellcasters, and even Fina, an apprentice, can do it easily.

Yin Fei bit her lip: "Mom, someone is sponsoring me to become a knight. From now on, I want to move outside!"

"Why do you get funding from others? What price have you thought about paying?" The beautiful black-haired woman looked directly at her daughter's evasive eyes with sharp eyes.

"I've thought about it, I think it's okay." Yin Fei lowered her voice with a guilty conscience and lowered her head to answer.

"My silly daughter, if you really insist on becoming a knight, I will find a way for you. If you go back now, you still have a chance to regret it." Fina looked helpless.

The first thing must be determined. The nun is not the abbess, and the nunnery is not her private property.

Fina earns five silver dollars from her full-time job every month. She is responsible for receiving clients who want to join the nunnery and hosting daily afternoon prayers.

Coupled with the three silver allowances from the family, as well as the income from drawing scrolls and treating patients, the scraps are only about ten silver dollars, which can be regarded as entering the well-off class.

It is certainly not a big problem to maintain the daily expenses of two people. But supporting a knight is extremely difficult.

The asking price for any inferior horse starts at ten golds, and a better horse costs tens of golds, let alone a dragon-scaled horse worth hundreds or more than a thousand golds.

It's never a joke that horses are more expensive than people.

The key is that after buying a horse, it needs to be carefully raised and cared for, otherwise it will lose weight and its endurance and speed will decline.

Forage is another big expense every day. The average monthly cost is at least twenty silver, which is far more than Fina's load!
