When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

In the next six days, Li Shanren would go to various places every afternoon to inquire about the Farm City Orphanage. In the evening, he would return to the Iris Hotel and learn the words of this world from a tutor.

That's right, in order to get rid of the label of "illiteracy" in this world as soon as possible, Li Shanren hired a middle-aged tutor to teach him literacy, which greatly improved his learning efficiency.

Perhaps because of the effect of his high intelligence attribute of "18", Li Shanren can probably recognize about a hundred common words every night. If he wanted to master all the more than common words in this world, it is expected to take a month. or so time.

Of course, if he spent all the available time in the day studying, the time would be shorter.

However, as a spoiler, Li Shanren is unlikely to do such a thing. Even if he doesn't investigate the orphanage at other times, he would rather lie in bed until night falls. It is impossible to take the initiative to increase the burden on himself. Studying at night was already caused by the few diligent cells in his body.

In the past few days, Li Shanren has not accepted any more commissions. I am afraid that he will not be able to accept any more commissions before all his money is spent, even if he can use this to gain experience and upgrade.

After spending so many days investigating the orphanage, I found something.

The orphanage was funded by a big businessman named "Norton" and was called "Norton Orphanage".

However, the big businessman left Farm City a few years ago. It is said that he went to the royal capital, and he basically ignored the orphanage.

The director of the orphanage is unknown and has never been seen. He is very mysterious. Only a deputy director named "Talina" occasionally comes forward to deal with some matters. Of course, those are very rare times.

Although this orphanage is located in the city, it is usually very low-key and never openly admits orphans. Almost no one will send orphans to them. Many people only know that such a place exists, but in fact, there are many orphans wandering in the city. Most were captured by slave traders.

Because compared to adult tramps, homeless children are more malleable and easier to control. They spend less on food and drink on weekdays. With a little training, they can be sold to nobles or businessmen as servants, far better than those lazy and smelly tramps. Be a good deal.

The orphanage is never open to the public, and no one is allowed to break into it, which is evident from the tall walls and black iron gates they have erected outside.

In this regard, the reason given by the orphanage is to prevent outsiders from frightening the innocent children inside and to create a stable living environment for the orphans.

This reason obviously cannot convince everyone, but because of their low-key style and the fact that they have no conflicts with the people around them, no one will embarrass an orphanage.

Li Shanren could only collect so much information on his own. In order to get more information, he made a special trip to the Extraordinary Guild and issued a commission to collect information about Norton Orphanage. He spent a silver ruso to register the commission. On a notice board that is neither conspicuous nor unnoticed.

After a few days, someone actually provided him with some trivial information. For example, on the seventh day of every month in the orphanage that was usually closed, a bald old man drove a carriage out to purchase and bought a cart. Food and groceries before heading back.

This information can only show that the people in the orphanage at least need to go out for shopping to ensure their daily life, at least it is not completely closed.

Li Shanren calculated the time and found that there were still several days until the next time the bald old man went out for shopping, and he didn't have the patience to wait that long.

"So, prepare yourself tonight and go explore that orphanage. You have to see it with your own eyes before you feel at ease."

Li Shanren murmured to himself while sitting at his desk. The sunlight outside shone through the window and fell on the table covered with a piece of paper. The information collected in the past few days was densely written on the paper.

......

On this day, dusk flew by, and the night fell quietly in Farm City. When the night was so deep that there was no trace of light, Li Shanren, who had just sent away his tutor not long ago, changed into stargazer clothes and hid the stargazer stick under his clothes. , walked out of the door.

"Huh? Do you want to go out so late?"

When going down the stairs, she happened to meet Tifa who was about to go back to her room. The red-eyed girl was still dressed smartly, with a hint of exhaustion in her eyes, as if she had just finished her work.

I heard from Mrs. Marley that Tifa would work part-time in a tavern at night, but Li Shanren had never been there, and he didn’t know which tavern it was, nor did he ask Tifa about it.

Although they have cooperated before, in Li Shanren's eyes, their relationship is probably still at the stage of friends who meet and greet each other, and he will not take the initiative to ask those personal questions.

Moreover, both of them have their own affairs. Although they are neighbors, they rarely meet each other on weekdays.

"Yes, there is something urgent to deal with."

Li Shanren smiled at the red-eyed girl. After getting acquainted with her, he no longer deliberately put on a cold expression to maintain a sense of alienation and mystery.

"Huh? What is it? Do you need my help?" Tifa asked enthusiastically.

"No, no, it's just a small matter, I can handle it."

"Then I'll go back and see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Li Shanren turned slightly to let Tifa pass by him.

Tifa took a few steps up the stairs and seemed to remember something again. She turned back to Li Shanren and asked, "By the way, we are going to pick up another commission in a few days. Does Licens want to go with us?"

After hearing this, Li Shanren thought for a while and replied: "Well... I'm not sure whether I can go. Can you let me think about it? I'll get back to you then."

"Then it's settled."

As soon as the words fell, Tifa went straight upstairs, without giving Li Shanren a chance to continue replying.

Li Shanren was stunned on the spot. What was going on with that "you've already agreed" tone? I obviously just said that I need to think about it!

Li Shanren twitched his lips slightly, without thinking much, and continued walking down the stairs and left the Iris Hotel.

Under the illumination of the dim magic lamp, he pulled his hood slightly down while walking on the street, and walked to the Norton Orphanage by following the path in his memory.

When passing by a night market, he didn't notice that a handsome young man with an appearance and build about fourteen years old happened to walk out of the market entrance carrying a sack filled with herbs.

"Hmm...that figure from behind, is that Mr. Lithern?"

Eivor immediately noticed Li Shanren wearing a stargazer suit among the crowd.

That outfit is indeed relatively eye-catching. If he hadn't had no choice, Li Shanren would not have worn it out.

Although the Stargazer suit was the initial costume, it also had a weak magical protective effect. Feeling that tonight's action might be dangerous, Li Shanren put it on for safety.

"Are you still going out so late? Well...that direction is..."

Eivor watched Li Shanren's leaving figure gradually disappear into the crowd, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Li Shanren didn't know that he had just been seen by Eivor. Even if he knew, it didn't seem to have any impact on him.
