"...Today, you are about to step out of the school gate and become a powerful new force in the kingdom. For the school, you are the best graduates. As the principal, I hope that you will become a useful person to the kingdom in the years to come.
People... Whether your future is to join the army, become a public official, or prepare to be a businessman or a craftsman, you should all work diligently..."
When the principal standing on the stage finally ended the long and boring graduation ceremony speech with "Today you graduate from the school, the school will be proud of you in the future!", the school teachers standing behind him first cheered.
After a few seconds, the parents of the students in the audience reacted and applauded. Finally, all the students reluctantly applauded under the gaze of the school teachers and parents of the graduates.
"I've always suspected that he doesn't change the script of his graduation speech every year. I seemed to hear the same thing last year..." Bockaar applauded twice perfunctorily and then put it down.
"I didn't even listen to what he was talking about. Anyway, I just waited until the end to get my diploma and leave." Verricro said: "Look at Claude, he is distracted again, and I don't know where he is thinking.
"
Claude was indeed distracted. He was thinking about his plan to make money. If he only relied on hunting, the money would be a little slow. Just like yesterday afternoon, he patrolled the forest farm for a long time and didn't find any big prey. In the end, he had to
I have laid a lot of serial traps in the bushes and grass nests, and I plan to go back today to see if I have harvested anything.
It seems that if you want to hunt big game or beasts, you have to go to the mountains behind the forest farm. Why don't you go to the forest and mound area in the southern suburbs of the town? Last year, you had a good harvest of pheasants and rabbits there, and now it has been a year.
Over the years, perhaps there will be more pheasants and rabbits waiting for me to catch them...
Well, as a time traveler, it is really shameful to rely on hunting to make money. After all, hunting depends on luck, and the hunters in Bailu Town sometimes stay in the mountains for a few days and return empty-handed.
It's not that I haven't seen it before. With the development and expansion of Bailu Town, most of the prey in the nearby mountains and forests have also moved deeper into the mountains, away from the scope of human activities. Why is Viricero's father called White Deer Town?
The number one hunter is because he can penetrate deep into the mountains and return safely with his prey.
If you want to hunt big prey or beasts in the mountains and forests near Bailu Town, it really depends on luck. Catching pheasants and rabbits is easy, but you have to take into account the saturation of the market. Don't look at Pierre from the old tavern
De said generously, and he would get as much as he wanted, but Claude suspected that if he had to catch thirty or so pheasants, rabbits, etc., Ed would refuse to buy them, and he couldn't afford to sell them in the open-air market.
The purchase price offered by Ed was already the highest.
In fact, Claude has many ideas that can make money in his mind, but he has no way to realize them. This world is very different from his previous life. With his current age and family environment, it is simply impossible for him to convince his parents to do it for him.
He pays for his creativity. Apart from anything else, the status class prescribed by this kingdom alone can make all his efforts useless.
Perhaps more than ten years later, Claude becomes a member of the national class of this kingdom, and then he will be able to realize his dream of a business empire. But now, it is better to go to sleep and stop having sweet dreams.
It seems that it is more reliable to make money by hunting in the mountains and forests with a matchlock gun. At least the prey you catch can be sold for some money...
There can be no absolute fairness and justice in any world. This was something Claude realized during the auction of the Niros crocodile he hunted last year. Mr. Morsan was the administrative director of White Deer Town.
Under the circumstances, the fathers of the three companions, Viricro, Bockar, and Erikson, also had great popularity in White Deer Town. But all of this was easily crushed in front of Sir Fox, who
It only cost four gold crowns to take away the ownership of the Niros giant crocodile.
Sometimes Claude would also think that if he and his friends' fathers didn't have such a little energy, then maybe Sir Fox wouldn't even have to pay four gold crowns. Everyone in the upper class of White Deer Town present understands this.
This is an unfairly low price, but no one wants to speak out.
However, Sir Fox was also the target of bullying in front of Lady Maria. When Lady Maria asked for it, he could only obediently offer the Niros crocodile specimen. This was because Lady Maria was kind-hearted and made a move.
The price is high. If it had been another powerful person, Sir Fox might have made nothing...
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. This sentence is an unbreakable truth in any world. The only good thing is that little shrimps like Claude still have a lot of room for trouble in this pond.
As long as he doesn't catch the prey that small fish and big fish are competing for, generally speaking, no one will try to catch him. Hunting, in the eyes of many people, requires risking one's life to gain anything.
Claude once thought that if he opened a small shop selling the delicacies from his previous life, the business would be very good and he could earn some money. For example, he could make some breakfast shops such as meat buns and pancakes, or soy milk and tofu.
No matter what happens, I believe the business will be good if I make bean sprouts and sell them in winter.
Just when Claude looked at his father standing next to him with a serious face, he automatically gave up these ideas. Mr. Morsant would never allow his family to become a small shopkeeper selling food. In his opinion, that was simply a waste of time.
It is an insult to the family status, and the Field family cannot afford to lose face. So even if Claude tried to make these delicacies at home to satisfy his parents, Mr. Morsant would only use them to show off in front of his colleagues and friends, rather than making any plans to eat them.
Make money on this.
Claude has also thought about ways to support agents, but the problem is that apart from his three partners, he can't find anyone else he can trust. Bockar comes from a business family, but he doesn't like these small businesses either.
, let alone asking him to provide people and efforts to run these businesses. After all, it is his father who is the master of his family's business. It doesn't matter if he only treats small things like a child's nonsense, but it really involves the exchange of interests and other small things.
When the business develops to a large scale, it is hard to say whether his father will swallow it up in one bite...
Many businesses are like this. When they are small-scale, no one cares about them. But when they grow and develop, what they will usher in is not a great future, but coveted eyes and greedy hands. This is the reality.
Claude knew this very well. His small body was unable to withstand the huge waves. So after thinking about it, he felt that hunting to make money was the most appropriate way for him at the moment, at least
It's more worry-free, and with his skills and magic, he doesn't have to be afraid of the beasts in the mountains and forests. He has this confidence.
Boker next to him pushed him, and Claude woke up from his divergent thinking: "What for?"
Bockaar curled his lips toward the stage: "Your name has been called, and before you go on stage, Vero has already gone up..."
Uh... Claude finally understood and quickly pushed forward.
Not all graduates need to go up to the stage to receive their graduation certificates. However, the top ten graduates in liberal arts and physical education will be called to the stage and the principal will issue graduation certificates in public. For graduates with excellent academic performance,
It is considered an honor. Compared with those students who received their graduation certificates from their class teachers, the parents of the students who were able to take the stage were all smiling and felt proud of their children.
However, Mr. Molsang in the audience forced a smile and absently watched the scene of the graduation certificate being awarded on the stage.
There are a total of eleven physical education students on stage this time, because Claude and Viricault tied for the first place among physical education students. Seriously speaking, in the graduation assessment of physical education students, Claude's overall score fell behind
One point for Viricero, but in fact he should only get the second place among the physical education students. There is no way, Viricero took advantage of his body. He is tall and strong, and he can compete in wrestling, fighting, and boxing.
Unrivaled in this project.
However, Claude ranked first in swordsmanship and equestrian skills. In the other musket shooting and crossbow shooting competitions, he was on par with Viricault. The final overall score difference between the two was only one point.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Molsang's position as the administrative director of Bailu Town played a role. The principal believed that he could tie for first place. Everyone remembered the name of the first place, and he became the second place by one point.
It would be too unfair for people to forget.
In fact, Viriclo also believes that Claude is worthy of his reputation as the number one physical education student. He only takes advantage of his great strength and strong body. If he competes with Claude with the same body and the same strength,
There was no way he could be Claude's opponent. Especially Claude's ability to keep his head calm and clear-headed during the game, which he admitted he couldn't do.
Standing on the stage is very boring, especially facing the envious and jealous eyes of the audience, and the principal who is standing in front of everyone with a pretending to be kind and I'm optimistic about you expression. In fact, who knows, Chloe
It has been two years since De traveled to this world, and he has also been a student at school for two years. However, in the past two years, he has never seen this old principal come to the class to teach everyone a lesson. Now he makes an expression like a tutor.
He handed out diplomas to the graduates on the stage, patted their shoulders from time to time, and said a few words of encouragement, as if those on the stage were all his favorite disciples...
After handing out the diplomas to the liberal arts graduates, it was the turn of the queue for the physical education students. Claude just stood at the front of the queue with a straight face and no expression. The old principal came over and patted his shoulder amiably and said
After saying a few words of encouragement, Claude bowed slightly to show respect, and silently took his diploma. At this moment, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he would not show mercy to the old man in front of him.
On the other hand, Verricro next to him looked very excited. When he took the graduation certificate handed over by the old principal, he shouted loudly: "Thank you, principal, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
The sound was so loud that the old principal was startled, and several graduation certificates fell from his hands. Claude wanted to pick his ears, Verricro, you screamed too loud, it hurt your ears.
I'm almost deafened by your noise! Isn't it just a graduation certificate? Why are you so excited...
He bent down, picked up the graduation certificates that had fallen on the ground in front of him, and handed them to the old principal with both hands. The old principal took the diplomas and patted Claude on the shoulder happily: "Not bad, not bad..."
Then the old man went to award the diploma to the second-placed physical education student. He ignored and didn't even look at the excited Viricolo. This made Viricolo a little embarrassed. He also wanted to say a few words of apology.
I'm sorry. He turned around and asked Claude: "Did I do something wrong?"
Claude looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, rolled his eyes and didn't answer. Why are we so anxious on stage? It's not too late to talk slowly when we get down. You know, there are nearly a thousand people in the audience staring at us.
.
After finally making it to the end of the ceremony, the old principal gave a speech to the students from the first and second countries present, calling on them to learn from the twenty-one outstanding graduating students on the stage, follow their examples, study hard, and strive for success.
Graduating with better grades, etc...
After the graduation ceremony, the school will hold a grand celebration banquet as usual. But this has nothing to do with ordinary graduates. Those who are eligible to participate in the banquet are school teachers and town office officials, and there are 21 liberal arts and sports students on stage.
The outstanding graduates of the department were also invited. Claude did not dare to be interested in this, and did not want to deal with the teachers anymore, so he found an opportunity to sneak out of the banquet venue, while his father, Mr. Morsant, was taken away by the principal.
He Jiaoxi and the others were held back, and they didn't care whether their son was still there or not.
Bockar stood at the school gate waiting for Claude's arrival. He had already greeted Claude and said he was waiting for him outside and had something to say to Claude...
