parasitic son

Rubin was sitting at his desk working.

The miners lined up to his desk one by one. After Lubin inspected them, they registered and received their tools, and then turned around and left to work honestly in the underground mine.Rubin is the god who controls the livelihood of the miners here. Only the miners who have passed his permission can be qualified to enter the mine, and let them work hard all day in exchange for a little reward.

Nowadays, the world is getting more and more difficult. The refugees who have no other means of survival can only go to this mine to exchange their labor for a chance to eat.

"Don't just stand there in a daze!! Hurry up and go to work!! If you don't earn enough money for tickets, you can just lie outside and wait to feed the night ghosts!!"

Originally, this day would be the same as before, and then, a young job seeker appeared.

He is very young, at most 15 years old, wearing the most common commoner clothes.The boy looked very handsome, with delicate skin, like a child spoiled by a noble family, not like a refugee who had nowhere to go to seek a living here.If you ignore the little octopus on his shoulder, this boy looks quite ordinary.

Rubin found himself unable to take his eyes off the strange little octopus.It was a small octopus about the size of a hand, and it looked slippery. Its octopus feet were firmly on the boy's clothes.The young man had a normal look on his face.And the little octopus was staring at him, as if saying, "What are you looking at, haven't you seen an octopus!"

"Sir." The boy's voice brought him back to his senses.

Lubin coughed, "Do you want to come here to mine?"

"Yes. I want to mine here to make money."

"Oh..." Lubin looked at the other person's small body and said, "Miners are hard work. You don't look too old, don't you have a family? Uh, okay. Go to the side to get tools, shovel, shovel and pickaxe. Dig out Go directly to the furnace room after work is over, where you can forge your ore into metal blocks, come out before it is completely dark, and exchange money with Koslin."

The boy nodded and registered his name: Liu Xingquan.

He turned and took the tools and left.Rubin looked at the boy's back for a while, then turned to ask a man with glasses beside him, "Koslin, can an octopus live without water?"

Ke Silin said lazily: "Maybe this octopus is his food today."

Rubin thought it made sense.

The day is coming to an end.The miners came one by one with today's harvest in exchange for payment.Most miners make enough money to get into the night.The so-called entrance fee is the qualification to live in this miner's village that night.I don't know when, night ghosts appear in this world every night. They are creatures more terrifying than wolves, and they feed on lonely humans at night.If you want to escape the night ghost attack, you have to hide in a human gathering place like a town or village.

This miner's village was built to protect the miners who rest at night.It can accommodate more than 300 miners. The external defense facilities are extremely strong and there are special personnel to defend at night. It can be said to be a very safe rest base.During the day it is open to the outside world without hindrance, but at night it only accepts miners who have bought tickets.

A grown miner dug up a day's hard work, just enough for a ticket, and enough money left over to buy two loaves of hard bread.Such a job is nothing more than keeping you alive.But for the refugees nearby, it is the only way to survive in this world.

The sun hasn't quite set yet, but once the sun goes down.Those terrible night ghosts will appear, and their powerful claws and teeth can directly tear people to pieces.Every miner cherishes every minute of mining ore as much as possible, and earns more income before the night comes.

Today, as in the past, there are a few miners who are unlucky, the ore they mined is relatively inferior, and the refined copper is not good enough to exchange tickets.

"Please!! Let me spend the night here tonight!!" the miner begged, "There are old people waiting for me at home."

"Please! I'm almost there!!"

There are people like this every day.

"Rules are rules," Rubin said. "There's no bargaining here."

"I beg you!!"

Rubin gave Ke Silin a look, and after a while, several burly men dragged these people out. "You're killing people!" Their voices became farther and farther away.

Ke Silin's face showed a look of unbearable, and Rubin said without raising his head: "Let the guards throw some weapons into their huts, and the rest is up to them." The huts in his mouth refer to The huts outside the miners' village, a refuge for those who couldn't afford the tickets and didn't have time to make it back to town.

Overnight, some people will disappear forever, but many people will survive.

This world is like this, only the fittest survive.

When it was almost dark in the evening, the boy appeared, carrying a bag of minerals, his fair face was covered with a lot of dust.When the mineral bag was opened, Rubin was really taken aback.Mineral bags are filled with copper nuggets, iron nuggets, silver ingots, and even a small nugget of gold.

On a regular basis, a grown man can't fill a mineral bag in a day's work.The output of most of them is basically copper and iron, and silver ingots are a rare harvest, let alone rare gold nuggets.Expensive ores are deep in the mine, and the deeper the mine, the greater the chance of encountering advanced monsters, and the higher the death rate of the miners.He took a breath and carefully inspected the metal blocks in his hand. They were in good condition and the weight was in compliance.With the boy's ability, it is impossible for him to go down to the lower mine.The only explanation is that the boy was lucky enough to dig a good vein.

Rubin didn't speak, and Koslin at the side weighed the metal pieces in the bag one by one, and after a while he took out a heavy money bag from the drawer and handed it to the boy. "Your measurement today is equivalent to the measurement of ten people." Koslin said.

The teenager turned and poured most of the money from the purse onto Rubin's desk.Rubin drew out a stack of copper coins with his finger. "This is enough for your overnight bill tonight. Put the rest away, kid."

"gentlemen."

"Ok?"

"I just saw a few people who didn't make enough money for the night. What's going to happen to them?"

"Those people can only go to the huts outside the village to spend the night. You know there will be night ghosts at night." Rubin shrugged. "It depends on their luck whether they survive."

"Let's count this money as their overnight expenses." Liu Xingquan said.

"Are you serious?" Lubin asked, "Even if you are lucky enough to earn so much today, your luck may not be as good tomorrow as today."

"I'm not worried." Liu Xingquan pointed to the little octopus sticking out of his backpack, "Because I have a lucky little octopus."

baby octopus.Rubin stared at it, the thing was not eaten.

The little octopus waved at him.The boy turned and left.Tonight, he will sleep in this miner's village for the night.

The money Liu Xingquan earns today allows him to own a clean dormitory for miners.The dormitory is very basic, with a bed and nothing else except a table and chairs.After Liu Xingquan entered the door, the little octopus climbed onto the table, and Liu Xingquan poured the remaining coins on the table.

The narration echoed in the house: [The young hunter foolishly ran into the mine to waste time.He didn't realize at all that mining was of no benefit to his ability improvement except for adding a little money. 】

Xiaozhen Octopus quickly counted the coins, and said, "These should be enough."

Liu Xingquan said, "Yes."

[The young hunter should realize that there are more roads in front of him.Rather than wasting mining here in vain. 】

Xiaozhen said: "Continue tomorrow. Let's rest early today."

Liu Xingquan said, "Okay."

[Obviously, Hunter is continuing on the wrong path. 】

……

The next day, the teenager showed up at Rubin's desk again, checked in, and picked up his tools.The little octopus was still on his shoulder.

After the boy left for the mine, Ke Silin said, "I don't think he will be so lucky today."

Rubin didn't speak. He felt that this boy, like the little octopus on his body, carried a mysterious aura, just like the adventurer he had seen a long time ago.

When the sun was about to retract its last rays, the boy named Liu Xingquan came back.When he came back from the furnace room, he was still carrying a mineral bag.When opening the mineral bag, Koslin yelled directly.Today's mineral bag has much less copper and iron ingots, and more valuable silver ingots account for the majority. Like the first time, there is still a small piece of gold inside, but this piece of gold is obviously a circle bigger.

"..." Rubin raised his face and asked, "Good luck again?"

"Because I have a lucky little octopus." The boy replied.The little octopus on his shoulder nodded in agreement.

This time the boy's reward was four times that of yesterday's, and he still poured out part of the coins as tonight's ticket fee for those miners who didn't earn enough.

After the boy left, Ke Silin said: "This is really a ghost. You must know that these silver ingots represent a large amount of silver ore dug out by him, but the silver ore is basically in the lower mines, where there are many ferocious monsters. This Boys are no match for those monsters."

Rubin weighed the small gold nugget in his hand, but he didn't make a sound.

On the other side of the village, two malevolent miners were staring at the boy. "Have you heard?" One of them said, "This kid has been lucky for two days and dug up a lot of good stuff."

"I saw that he received a lot of money today." Another person stared at the boy's back with greedy eyes.

"I said, you see this kid is very weak, not as good as us..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly surrounded by seven or eight figures, and the leader shouted: "These two bad boys want to attack our benefactor!! You are so stupid!!"

"Yeah, if it wasn't for that boy, we would have been kicked out yesterday to be eaten by night ghosts! These two wolf-hearted guys, hit me!! Let them have a longer memory!"

After a few screams, the miners' village returned to calm.

Koslin, who was standing by the window, turned to Lubin and said, "Don't worry, it's all right." He looked at Lubin's face, "What are you thinking?"

Rubin stroked his chin and said, "I was just thinking that this young man might make a big difference here."

……

……

Liu Xingquan returned to his room, and the little octopus climbed onto the table and quickly counted money with its octopus feet.

The narration echoed in the room again, 【You are wasting your time! !Mining has nothing to do with the main plot you want to explore! 】

Liu Xingquan picked up an apple and asked the little octopus, "Do you want to eat it?"

The little octopus said, "I'm not hungry."

[Hunters should explore and go to the capital while upgrading, instead of wasting time in this corner! 】

Xiaozhen said: "Continue mining tomorrow."

Liu Xingquan nodded and said, "Okay."

[You will suffer the consequences of ignoring the well-intentioned guidance like this! 】

The little octopus made himself a small bed with a towel, and covered the body of the little octopus with the towel, "It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

Liu Xingquan said, "Good night."

[Very well, maybe a mining achievement should be added to this kind of stupid hunter who is not doing his job properly and wasting time and his disgusting monster. 】

……

……

……

By the evening of the fourth day.

Kesley's mouth was open, and Rubin was just breathing heavily.

A large handful of small gold nuggets were poured out from the mineral bag, and the nuggets rubbed against each other to make a pleasant sound. Although each nugget was small in size, both its fineness and weight showed the value of this precious metal.Rubin has seen miners show him the results countless times, but never once has his desk been covered with shiny gold nuggets like today.

"These gold nuggets," said the boy, "I want to buy the entire miner's village."

After an almost suffocating silence, Koslin wiped his sweat, "This must be enough. The gold is enough to buy three miner villages."

The boy picked out two small gold nuggets and handed them to Rubin and Koslin respectively, "I still want to hire you two."

"what……"

"Would you like to work for me? I think my salary will be much higher than your current salary."

"Of course!" Keslin shouted.

"Well, the two of us work for the mining guild. I need to explain the situation to the guild first."

"Yes." The boy said, "Maybe I will donate a bag of gold like this to the Mining Guild."

"Uh, I think if you give a few small gold nuggets to each member of the guild's presidium, as long as you only need one-fifth of this bag of gold, you will be the president in the next election."

The boy nodded, and he said, "Very good."

Rubin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he asked the future president of the Mining Association: "I would like to ask, may I ask that you can obtain so many precious ores in a short period of time, it is really because..."

Liu Xingquan replied: "Because I have a lucky little octopus."

***************

Cui Mingzhi felt a little depressed.

Now he finally got his dream time travel adventure, but it always feels like something is wrong.

For example, the pastor teammate next to him is Wei Hongzhuo, the father of Miss Wei Jingjing, his classmate from the same school.All middle school students and even college students have the same feeling, that is, it is fun to play games, but as long as there are parents staring at them, no matter how fun the game is, it will be boring at that moment, and they will just sit and sit. Like pins and needles, the playfulness is greatly reduced.

Cui Mingzhi is currently in this situation.In his eyes, this adventure world is tailor-made for him, with bright pixel style and clear RPG gameplay.His current occupation is also his favorite thief.Real-life three-dimensional panoramic enjoyment, is there any better time travel than this!But the problem is, his teammates are parents of classmates.Although he is not his parent, he is also a parent, a parent of a classmate with natural pressure.As soon as he saw Wei Hongzhuo's gloomy and majestic face, Cui Zhizhi immediately wailed like a groundhog in his heart.

Why!Why is my nanny a parent!And this nanny also focused all her skill points on agility!
