First of all, the channel dealer Annabey gave him ignored him, and all letters and passwords went unanswered.
According to her, this is normal. Traffickers are always faced with searches and arrests by the police, and when the news is tight, they will disappear.
Rhodes could only find dealers he was not familiar with.
However, after learning about Rhodes' situation, their generally asking prices are very high, exceeding the limit that Rhodes can bear. The key is that success is not guaranteed, and some are obviously scammers.
Rhodes looked for many people in succession, but without success.
Until he met a strange guy.
——
——
Hamblin was in great pain during this time.
The dream college life brought him no happiness, only huge setbacks.
As the highly favored eldest son of the ancient Manolobana family, Hambrin had always wanted to win the wind and rain before entering the academy.
No one dares to disobey him. He can do whatever he wants. In his manor, there are more than 300 servants just serving him. Anyone he likes will appear in his bed at night.
But in college, everything changed.
His privileges are gone, domestic slaves cannot be brought in, the teacher does not fawn over him, and the director does not favor him.
Although he obtained the position of team leader through power and money, he did not have much prestige.
Manolo Bana's identity was lost here. Although the students were afraid of him, they did not regard him as their master. The female students did not pay much attention to him. No one threw himself into his arms, and no one accepted him.
Although he showed love, he was severely punished twice due to harassment, bullying and other reasons.
What disgusted him the most was that someone actually insulted him in front of him, but he was unable to punish the other person. Instead, he was beaten up by the other person.
But in the end it was me who was punished and imprisoned!
This is going to make Hamblin’s balls explode.
Therefore, when he found out that this guy might get the first-class "Kingworth Star" medal, he immediately instructed his only two younger brothers, Alger and Gorey, to contact the chief judge.
Sure enough, after bypassing the academy, Manolo Bana's name showed magic again. The chief judge promised to give Rhodes a math problem that he would never forget, ensuring that he would not get a first-class medal.
Habrin thought he was finally having some fun, but he didn't expect that the country bumpkin actually answered this difficult question, which was like a book from heaven, and successfully became the only recipient of the first-class medal from the three academies.
At the subsequent celebration, Hambrin was so angry that he only ate a roasted cow and had no appetite at all.
He had already planned to drop out of school. He could no longer stay in this hell-like place. Those guys who praised the academy as a paradise were all liars.
But on the third day, a turning point came.
His father sent him a letter, asking him to find a way to sell a second-level hunter license to Rhodes, and told him not to rely on others and to do it himself.
As the eldest son of the Manolobana family, Hamlin quickly understood what his father meant.
He wants to bring bad luck to Rhodes.
Level 2 hunters have hunting obligations and have additional tasks every week. If they do not complete them, they will be demoted or their hunting licenses will be revoked.
And with the strength of that country bumpkin, the mission will definitely fail. Not only will he be greatly embarrassed, but he may also be expelled from the college for killing his teammates.
Habrin finally became happy and felt that there was hope in life.
His unlucky experience in the academy started when he met this country bumpkin. Once he gets out, his life may be bright again, and Kashan will fall into his arms, as will countless female students.
I will refuse his invitation again.
Habrin laughed. He even had a brilliant idea. This country bumpkin would be impoverished and living on the streets after he was fired. He would reward him with a bowl of rice, hire him as his personal servant, and give him food every night.
He guarded the bedroom door, allowing him to deeply feel the feeling of his beloved woman having sex with him.
This idea made him so excited that he didn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, he put on his disguise, grabbed his license and set off for the market area.
He skipped all classes on this day, lest some blind retard steal his business.
Channel dealers all have regular businesses in the market area. They don't do many things like hunter licenses in the academy. Most of them are dropouts from outside the academy, combatants who have committed crimes and were expelled from the legion, or some
A guy who doesn't want to be named to make extra money.
But the offers in the college are much more lucrative, and those who are willing to take this side route will not be short of money.
But there is a certain risk. If something happens to the students, they will be called by the Internal Affairs Bureau.
Therefore, generally they only accept regular customers, or those introduced by regular customers. If the student is for one year, they will also charge an additional amount of money as an additional risk fee.
But Rhodes is actually a poor man and cannot afford the high price of more than 10,000 silver cords unless he stops buying materials.
This made him very depressed. He spent another three days in the academy, and there were only ten days left for the invasion.
Today, he has already planned to buy the license no matter what, or at worst, he will go to Kashan to borrow money.
There were no classes in the morning, daily patrols in the afternoon, and more important combat classes in the evening. Rhodes could only choose to enter the market area early in the morning.
The market area in the early morning was a little deserted, with many businesses not opening their doors, street stalls nowhere to be seen, and only a few figures on the streets.
Merchants are cleaning up their goods, and the shouting has long since stopped.
Rod came to the "Alva Jam Room", which was one of the few merchants willing to talk to him yesterday.
But he was disappointed to find that the owner of the jam room had changed.
"Where is the owner of this store?" Rhodes asked a fat, burly man.
"I went home to have a baby."
His voice was very twisted, like he had a mouthful of sauerkraut that he couldn't spit out in ten years, and his answers were also very ridiculous.
"Mr. Alva is a man!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The fat man with yellow hair coughed heavily: "It's his wife who gave birth to a baby."
Rhodes was a little unbelievable: "Mr. Alva looks almost seventy years old, can his wife still give birth?"
The fat man with yellow hair said impatiently: "Can't he just marry an eighteen-year-old?"
Rhodes frowned, the human functions here are so good? Can they still create humans at the age of seventy?
But this is not his concern. How to improve his probability of surviving the invasion is what needs most attention.
"Well... I negotiated a deal with Mr. Alva yesterday, do you know?"
The fat man with yellow hair replied: "I know, Mr. Ah Shi has handed over everything to me."
He took out a sterling silver sign.
"The license for the second-level hunter 'Blade of Dawn' only needs to leave your spiritual imprint on the license and the Hunter's Holy Grail. You are him. No real name or identity is needed. The most reasonable price in the industry is 20,000 silver cords." Rhodes refused: "It's too expensive!"
The fat man with yellow hair said loudly: "This is a ready stock! Level 2 hunter! There is nothing so cheap outside. At least half the price will be added to the academy."
Rhodes shook his head: "I can't afford it."
"Okay, fifteen thousand."
Rhodes was about to turn around and leave, but turned back when he heard this.
After all, it is in stock, so it is much more convenient than those guys who have to go through various procedures.
"Well, I actually don't have fifteen thousand, can I..."
Rhodes originally wanted to ask if he could divide it into installments, but the fat man said directly: "Then ten thousand."
Rhodes looked at him suspiciously. None of the profiteers he had come into contact with so far were so easy to bargain with.
Is this a newbie? Can’t wait to make a deal and reveal his secrets?
"I don't have ten thousand on me."
"My first business today is worth eight thousand to you."
“It’s still too expensive.”
The fat man with yellow hair said angrily: "Do you want to buy it or not?"
Rhodes deliberately looked at his background and pretended to be helpless:
"I don't want to buy it. Think about it carefully, what's the point of spending so much money? Maybe it's a good thing to accept the supervision and regulations of the college. At least it's safe."
The fat man with yellow hair became anxious: "Five thousand! Five thousand!"
"No, my weekly salary is only forty-two silver cords, not five thousand a hundred weeks."
The yellow-haired fat man's eyes widened: "There are still people who live on a weekly salary? Those few dollars are of no use, I just... Ahem, three thousand! Three thousand! This is the lowest price."
Rhodes still insists on his opinion.
"Two thousand five!"
"Two thousand!"
"A thousand!"
"How much is it? Tell me the number!"
Rhodes scratched his head: "I don't have any money, I wonder if I can..."
Before he could say the word installment, the fat man with yellow hair directly stuffed the silver medal into his hand.
"Okay, I'll give it to you! I don't want it anymore! I won't do this business! It's closed!"
Click.
The fat man with yellow hair closed the door directly and left angrily.
Is this okay?
Rhodes held the silver hunter's license and looked at the retreating back of the fat man with yellow hair, feeling unbelievable.
I just cut the price and he breaks the defense?
How can you still do business here if you are so fragile?
Most of the students in the college are very poor, and their weekly salary is their only source of income. When buying things here, every silver cord will be cut in half.
Rhodes now roughly understands that the purchasing power of one silver cord is very strong, which is roughly equivalent to ten yuan. Because the denomination is so large, many things have to be bought together.
Ten thousand silver cords is equivalent to one hundred thousand yuan. You just gave me something worth one hundred thousand yuan?
Rhodes feels something is not right. Is there any trap?
I want to verify the authenticity of this thing.
But who to look for?
In the academy, Rhodes only has three good friends, Cassian, Wayne, and Zales.
Kashan’s father is a high-ranking official in the Internal Affairs Tribunal, and she is a defender of the rules. It’s best not to ask her.
Wayne has no channels for this, and probably has no solution.
Only Zales, his family belongs to the United Chamber of Commerce, and many merchants in the Academy Market District are under the name of his family's chamber of commerce.
He should have a way.
There is no class this morning, so he can roughly guess where the green hair usually goes.
Sure enough.
Rhodes found Zales in the "Fairy's Hometown" tavern in the living area.
He came to the tavern early in the morning to enjoy the animal show from the City of Beasts.
Of course, he is not interested in animals at all, he is only interested in beautiful women who perform with animals.
Maybe it was because of the program, but the tavern was also very lively in the early morning, with whistles and shouts coming and going. On a wooden booth half the height of a person, a woman in an animal trainer costume was playing with several big yellow dogs.
The content is also very simple. It is a common dog holding a Frisbee. Since the space is not large, the distance and height of the trainer's throw are very low.
But every time the big yellow dog bites, the audience will let out loud cheers, as if they have witnessed an extremely wonderful performance.
Can this also be called a program?
Rhodes thought that maybe pets here are rare.
Hmm... In this kind of environment, it's great that people can survive, and it's a miracle that animals and plants can grow normally.
It is said that such miracles are brought about by the Holy White Tree, also known as the Tree of Life, and is the most important thing to mankind besides the Holy Fire.
There is a huge Tree of Life in the Royal City, right next to the Holy Fire, absorbing the light and heat of the Holy Fire. Its huge root system purifies the water flowing down from the dark plain, so that the Royal City has sufficient clean water.
Under its lush branches and leaves is a paradise of life known as the botanical garden. There are not only a large number of precious animals and plants, but also magical herbs that can produce spiritual materials.
Most of the raw materials for various medicines used by students come from here.
In all planting or breeding settlements outside the royal city, there are branches of the holy white tree. The life breath it emits can nourish all life.
Rhodes retracted his thoughts and immediately saw the conspicuous green-haired man in the crowd. He was shouting: "Sister, can we have breakfast together?"
Rhodes squeezed towards him and shouted: "Zaza, I have something to ask you!"
The green-haired man turned back: "Don't call me Zaza!"
