Chapter 643: The Way to Make Money
The next morning, he opened his eyes as the first ray of sunlight entered the living room.
The electric fan had been blowing hot air all night, and the cicadas outside the window were chirping again, "Zhi la – Zhi la –."
Okay, it's confirmed now, sleeping in the dream world doesn't return me to reality, Roland thought, and it can even serve as rest.
Although it sounds a bit strange, well… who cares, as long as it works.
He yawned and climbed up from the sofa, and was about to go to the kitchen to make breakfast when a scream suddenly came from Jie Luo's bedroom.
Then she appeared at the door, her face flushed red, pointing at Roland, stuttering, "Yesterday I… you…"
"I slept on the sofa yesterday," the latter shrugged. "Please, you were covered in sweat and didn't shower, I wouldn't sleep with you."
The little girl grabbed her collar and smelled it, her face turning even redder. Compared to her snow-white hair, she looked like a ripe apple. She hurriedly ran back to her bedroom, fiddled around for a while, then rushed into the bathroom with a change of clothes.
Soon the sound of a shower could be heard.
By the time she came out, Roland had already made breakfast.
Compared to the usual monotonous fried eggs and fried dough sticks, this breakfast was much richer—fried bacon, pepper-salt egg drop soup, grilled dried fish, and a plate of fresh grapes.
Of course, all the ingredients came from the Holy City world behind the iron gate.
"Did you buy meat?" Jie Luo asked in surprise, wrapped in a damp towel, and her throat could be seen bobbing slightly as she obviously swallowed her saliva.
"Yeah, bought a lot, it's all in the refrigerator," Roland handed her a pair of chopsticks. "I got a new job."
"Really?" Her voice immediately became excited, and the things that had just happened seemed to have been thrown to the back of her mind.
"Yeah, I'll get paid soon," Roland smiled. "These were bought to celebrate."
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you finally broke the bottom line and did something irreversible."
What is something irreversible? He muttered to himself. Could it be that this girl thought he would steal or rob? Uh… it seems that robbing in the dream world isn't a big deal.
"So you got heatstroke yesterday because you were out in the sun too much looking for a job?"
"Probably… yeah," he threw a grape into his mouth. "Anyway, you don't have to worry about money anymore."
"So fragile," Jie Luo curled her lip. "When will you stop making people worry so much, Uncle?"
Roland almost choked on the grape. "It's not like you worry about me all the time."
"Uh…" It was Jie Luo's turn to be speechless, and after a while, she glared and said, "The breakfast you made is a waste of ingredients. The cured meat was obviously already salted, and you added even more!"
This girl is good at changing the subject, Roland picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth. "I think it's good, it's just that some parts aren't fried enough."
"I'll do it in the future, really," she said, but Jie Luo quickly swept away the food on the plate, then picked up her bag and went out the door. "I'll leave the dishes for now, I'll wash them with dinner when I get back."
"Wait," Roland called out to her, "Do you know where there are any second-hand stores nearby?"
……
This time it took him three days to escape from the dream, and when he woke up, the sun in Neverwinter City was already halfway up the sky.
It seems that the time flow on both sides is about one-to-one, which means that one night in the real world can be used as two natural days over there. If you count the time spent sleeping in, staying for three days wouldn't be noticed.
The first thing Roland did when he got up was to find a Gold Royal, then put it in his hand and squeeze it hard—
The Gold Royal didn't move at all, but his fingers were pinched until they hurt.
It seems that the inexplicable power only appears in dreams, he sighed, put the Gold Royal back in its place, put on his coat and sat down at the table.
Roland planned to take advantage of his memory being in a clear state to transcribe the key knowledge he had reviewed, including the missing parts of various basic subjects, and detailed design drawings of some large industrial equipment.
He hadn't been idle during these three days. The matter of selling the stolen goods went smoothly. He first found a local second-hand forum, posted pictures of the armor on the Internet, claiming that he had a batch of medieval imitation crafts to sell at a low price. Because the workmanship was exquisite and the price was extremely low, buyers quickly came to his door.
In the end, the armor was sold at a bargain price of five hundred a set, and the hand crossbows and short swords were one hundred each. Anyway, it was a costless business, and Roland didn't feel bad at all. On the other hand, the Gold Royal was much more difficult to sell than he imagined. Even if they were all squeezed into round cakes, the bank wouldn't accept gold goods sold through unofficial channels—whether they were gold bars or gold jewelry.
He also ran into a wall at the gold shop. The nearby gold shops only recycled ornaments sold in the shop, and a handling fee was required. However, a salesperson gave him an address, saying that there was an old pawnshop there that could recycle gold goods of unknown origin, but the price was only half of the market price. Thinking that there were only a dozen or so Gold Royals in total, and the quality was far from pure gold, Roland simply threw them all into the closet.
With this effort, he might as well move a few more sets of armor.
As for the three brilliant gemstones, Roland had no idea who to sell them to, and in the end, he had no choice but to let it go.
With the remaining money in hand, he immediately swept through the second-hand stores near the apartment building and bought back all the textbooks he had read—as for those he hadn't read, they only had a cover, and the pages were all blank. Obviously, the dream world didn't exceed his conscious range, and it was temporarily impossible for Anna to dominate all fields.
But thanks to his wide range of interests, he had browsed a lot of useless knowledge on the Internet. Using the Internet to find some drawings, even if he had only glanced at them, he could get detailed answers.
In addition to these necessities that could quickly improve the technological level of Neverwinter City, Roland also bought two new clothes for Jie Luo, and added a set of winter camping equipment for himself, spending all the money he had earned.
He could still remember the shock and disbelief on the little girl's face when she received the new clothes. She declined several times before accepting them, completely without the recklessness that someone her age should have. When he asked strangely, he learned that this was the first time she had received a gift. It was good enough if her family didn't beat her up on a regular basis.
As the creator of the dream, Roland felt inexplicably guilty.
It wasn't until noon that Nightingale quietly appeared in the room.
"Didn't you go down for breakfast?"
"Yeah," Roland replied without looking up. "Please bring me a lunch, I'll eat in the bedroom."
"Is this the result of your morning?" Nightingale weighed the stack of manuscript paper beside the table in surprise. "How did so many ideas suddenly come out?"
"They were already in my mind, I just forgot them for a while," Roland moved his wrist. "Take a look, what do you think?"
"Describing electromagnetic fields in… a certain volume… mathematical model… in integral form?" Nightingale covered her forehead. "Your Majesty, I'm a little dizzy, I'll go get you food first."
Roland couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. "Go ahead."
"By the way, aren't you going to the office today?" She turned her head and asked as she walked to the door.
"What's wrong?"
"Barov has something to look for you, he said there are two letters that you need to read in person."
