Kingworth College does not hold a very grand and lengthy ceremony for the arrival of new students.
Hundreds of teachers only held a brief orientation meeting for them, but the enthusiasm of the teachers showed that the college did not underestimate them.
After the brief orientation meeting, they actively helped the students handle various matters so that they could integrate into the college and settle down as soon as possible.
I have to say that this was very efficient. Before long, Rhodes received a basket of supplies and returned to the dormitory assigned to him.
What he didn't expect was that the dormitory was actually a private room.
In a room of about 40 square meters, there are tables, chairs, bookshelves, wardrobes, beds, and all kinds of daily necessities.
There is even a separate bathroom and balcony.
For students, such a dormitory can no longer be described as luxurious, it is simply a dream existence.
Rhodes tried it and found that there was actually a supply of running water, even hot and cold.
The sewer system is also very advanced, with floor drains and traps, proving that they fully understand the corresponding engineering construction knowledge.
This is by no means an ignorant country. Even in such a harsh environment, they have developed knowledge and civilization.
After closing the dormitory door and looking at the exquisite and tidy room in front of him, Rhodes felt like home for a moment.
Indeed, on a scary night, in a strange environment, there is a closed space of your own, away from threats and disturbances, providing comfort and stability.
Isn’t this home?
Rhodes really wanted to throw all the clutter in his hands and all the distracting thoughts in his head on the ground, ignore anything, and have a good sleep.
However, this is impossible.
He still knows too little about this world, and he knows very little about their various strange features.
The danger is not far away, and the investigation continues.
My interrogation by the Internal Affairs Tribunal is coming soon, and I know no more about the truth than before.
I also want to figure out the secrets in dreams as soon as possible and find the relationship between them.
Alive.
Rhodes thought.
I must live.
No matter where.
——
But this is not a simple matter. The environment here is not as relaxed as in the original world. He is unfamiliar with the place and is still in trouble.
More than 200 members of the Hongshi Village relocation team died in the wilderness. As the main suspect, Rhodes was able to receive such treatment entirely because of his superb ventriloquism.
This also proves that under such conditions, holding the thigh is a very good choice.
"Looks like I'm going to try to hug a few more ladies' thighs... Humph, my stunts are not in vain."
"Hey, it's a pity that the new king is a man, and I don't know the banana magic skill."
Rhodes sighed, feeling a little out of character.
But in order to survive, moral integrity is not important.
Even if he is asked to warm the bed of that stinky little girl Kashan every day, he can accept it.
But this is unrealistic. She is not a princess and she does not have so much energy.
In addition to hugging your thighs, the second method is to become self-reliant.
According to the information obtained so far, the humans here are isolated and trapped in the darkness. They must be in great need of combat power.
If he can show strong potential, then they will not touch him easily.
If he is worth five armored divisions, then it is probably okay to let the princess wear black stockings to show him.
But the problem is that he actually failed to pass the final test of the Trial of Fire, nor did he ignite his soul.
There must be something wrong in this, which caused their misjudgment.
The biggest suspicion is naturally that strange dream.
And he also has many questions that he needs to return to dreams to find answers to.
"But, how do I go back?"
Rhodes was a little worried.
"Go to the nun again for a set of major health care?"
Although this is very reasonable, when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is not easy to handle.
If he goes back to the User Medical Clinic, it will most likely be Aunt User herself. The taste is too strong, and his small body can't stand it.
It is also unrealistic to specify that it is required of nuns to do it. This will definitely offend Aunt Yoser.
The only way is to change to a church medical center.
However, it is impossible for him to have prostitution for free in a strange club that he does not know, and he will definitely be charged for it.
According to Aunt Usher, their church medical clinic seems to be a very high-end club.
Comprehensive health care in high-end clubs must cost a lot of money.
Rhodes took out the weekly salary just paid to him from his pocket.
There are seven silver coins in total, the largest one is no more than the size of a thumb, and the smallest one is not even half a fingernail.
The workmanship of the silver coin is very fine, with anti-friction patterns on the edges. On the front is the head of the human hero Trorian, the legendary founder of the royal city, and on the back is a burning flame, surrounded by a large shield and a sword.
This is the silver cord used as currency in the Trorian Kingdom.
Seven silver coins, a total of twenty-two silver cords.
Rhodes took out a banknote from his other pocket.
It is about the size of two thumbs, is also delicate and thin, has a hollow pattern, and is a bit soft in texture. It is proved to be made of sterling silver, with a sun pattern on the front and a flame-shaped crown on the back.
Face value twenty silver cords.
Judging from the form of currency, there are obviously transactions and markets in the kingdom, and the population should exceed tens of millions.
Otherwise, there is no need to issue currency and just implement a rationing system.
However, the currency is made of precious metals and is not a pure credit currency, which proves that their monetary concept is not advanced enough and it is not a true free market.
There should be some items that are under control and cannot be purchased with money alone.
This is in line with the current situation. When a regime faces a strong external threat, it will inevitably use force to uniformly allocate materials in order to maximize utilization.
In fact, it is incredible that this kingdom can have currency and free markets.
Rhodes weighed the money in his hand, and found a total of forty-two silver ropes.
According to Wayne, a barrel of blue mushroom soup costs one silver rope, a bottle of blue junco fruit wine costs two silver ropes, and a full meal for a day costs three silver ropes.
These forty-two silver ropes, no matter how much you save, can only last for half a month.
According to this consumption, comprehensive health care in high-end clubs will cost at least one thousand silver cords to start, right?
Then doesn’t he have to save up for five months just to go to Dreamland?
"No, five months is too long. The grass on my grave might be ten meters high."
What to do?
While Rhodes was thinking about this problem, he collected the things distributed one by one, mainly books, clothes, scales, squares and other tools.
I took another comfortable hot bath, washed away all the dirt and blood on my body, threw away the tattered clothes, and put on the uniform of Jinworth College.
When Rhodes stood in front of the floor-length mirror again, his whole person had a completely new look, with a clean face, wet hair, and strangely charming light-colored eyes, paired with the brand new, well-tailored light blue robe, one after another.
The sunny, bookish boy appeared in front of me.
Phew.
Rhodes took a long breath, and the boy in the mirror also took a long breath.
There were too many things he experienced on this day. He only persisted until now with his superhuman perseverance and strong desire to survive.
Black mist, fire, monsters, extraordinary beings, weird dreams, the royal city with strange customs, and this magical academy and enthusiastic classmates.
Recalling everything, it’s like being in a dream.
Yesterday's life seemed far away from him.
A life full of unknowns has unfolded before his eyes.
"If this is a dream, then wish me a sweet dream."
"If not, then I hope I can find the value of existence in the sober world."
Rhodes smiled softly and lay on the bed.
His spirit was already exhausted, and when his head touched the soft pillow, all his thoughts were interrupted.
