Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

Chapter 218 04.0217: ‘Cousin Enjolras’

In a bar in the F-4 block of Vegas, Yin Shuyao was busy with her work.

She skillfully mixed drinks for the guests, while repeating the guests’ order information in a sweet voice, and wrote down the corresponding bills in her mind one by one, while keeping an eye on whether there were any ‘strange people’ worth paying attention to among the people who came in to consume.

At the same time, her eyes still swept over the sticky notes from time to time, which recorded the knowledge points that needed to be remembered in the course content.

It is worth noting that she also had a piece of parchment at hand, which was densely covered with square spaces, shaped like Sudoku, but the numbers inside were replaced by a kind of Chinese characters, and next to the paper was a delicate wooden toy that looked like a Luban lock.

This was a password that her cousin, who had been in correspondence with her, commissioned her to help make.

But even if it was a relative’s commission, she could only squeeze in a little time to do it.

Since entering Gothic University, she has been busier than ever.

On the one hand, after renting such a large three-story store from the mysterious gentleman, her business has become more and more prosperous thanks to her father's unique taste, which is well-known in the neighborhood and can please the taste of the vast sea of ​​​​stars, as well as her own bartending performances.

Now, this place has become a well-known "shop visit and check-in place" in Vegas.

Although more than a dozen waiters have been hired, she is still the only "banner lady" in charge of accounting for such a large store.

It's not that she doesn't want to recruit people, but it's too difficult to recruit someone who can manage such trivial and complicated accounts in Zhongchao.

On the other hand, as the female companion of Miss Tei Peru, a famous naval noble on the planet, she has to take time out from time to time to accompany Miss Tei to relax and have fun.

But the most important aspect is that she wants to go to the School of Economics and Management.

This is also the biggest motivation for her to choose to spend time making friends with the noble lady.

In the human empire, poor students who want to get a higher level of opportunity must please the powerful and wealthy to get a chance to share the leftover opportunities.

For a child like her who was born in an ordinary middle nest citizen family and enrolled in Plymmawr Women's College.

To win a place for poor students with strict requirements and a small number of admissions, she must work hundreds or thousands of times harder than other noble students.

After she told her father about her idea, her father raised his hands to support her.

In order to save up the tuition fees for his daughter to attend the School of Economics and Management, which is so high that ordinary civilian families can hardly afford it, this middle-aged man who has always been hardworking has worked harder recently.

And every expense is carefully calculated, saving as much as possible, for fear of waste.

Under such great pressure, she started preparing for future studies as soon as she entered college.

While others were having fun, she had to help her family's business and spend time accompanying Miss Perrou to make her happy. Apart from that, her life was only about studying.

But such efforts are worth it - every student who graduates from Plynmawr Women's Economic and Management Institute is often one of the most promising professionals in the land of Abyss Port.

They will serve as consultants in the Ministry of the Interior, or be selected as senior technical bureaucrats, or set up their own economic offices to provide various financial management services for huge interstellar giants.

All of these have an annual salary starting at one million, with no upper limit.

Even joining the aristocratic class and becoming a member of the top of the tower, such miracles are not uncommon.

What's more, some will be hired by the Dynasty of Merchants and Ronin, or directly marry into a wealthy family, and serve as a family asset manager as a hostess, holding the golden key of an ancient and wealthy family.

"Hey, Xiaoyao." A young man in a red tuxedo pushed the door open and greeted cordially.

Yin Shuyao turned her head when she heard the voice.

"Cousin Enjolras?" Her wide-open black eyes showed surprise, looking at her relative with mixed-race appearance.

The young man in red has black and gold curly hair, three-dimensional and delicate facial features, and a face with a mixed-race texture.

His mother is Yin Shuyao's aunt, that is, the man's sister.

By chance, she had a rich marriage and successfully married into Shangchao, becoming the fifth wife of the contemporary heir of a civilian ship trading company belonging to the Imperial Fleet, and successfully gave birth to a son.

That is the mixed-race young man named 'Enjolras' in front of him.

"Enjolras, is this the new tavern opened by your cousin's family? It's really big." The young men who followed behind were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and their gestures showed that they had undergone strict etiquette education.

The personal styles of the few people were obvious, and their expressions and temperaments were different.

Some people had sunny and cheerful outgoing smiles, some maintained a polite sense of distance, and some were depressed, as if they just wanted to sit down and have some drinks.

But without exception, these people were either rich or noble, and the clothes they wore were obviously not affordable for the common people.

Having been out with Miss Peru more often, Yin Shuyao had a keen eye and could tell that these clothes were clearly hand-made and custom-made, decent and stylish.

They looked around the simple yet stylish tavern with a little surprise, as if they had not expected that there would be such a place in Zhongchao.

"Xiaoyao, is there any room left? Please arrange a private room for me, thank you." The mixed-race young man was courteous and polite, just like his appearance and clothes, decent and elegant, and at the same time, he was also friendly with blood relatives.

"Yes, cousin. Why are you here? Who are they?"

"I heard that you were admitted to Plymmawr College, and I came to congratulate you. I knew you could do it, congratulations."

Then, the young man turned around and introduced his friends and said:

"They are my salon friends at Ravensburg College. They often come out to drink, write, and discuss current affairs. I just heard that my uncle opened a good pub, so I brought them to see it. Anyway, it costs money, isn't it better to spend it on my own relatives?"

"Okay, wait a minute, cousin, I will make urgent arrangements for you. Dad, my cousin is here."

"Here he comes!"

The man grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off his face casually, and walked out of the kitchen. When he came out, he saw a younger generation visiting him and greeted them with a smile in the clan dialect:

"It's Enjolras. Long time no see. You've grown so tall in a few years. You're also a handsome guy now."

"Thank you, Uncle Yuanshan. I came here to congratulate Xiaoyao on her admission to college."

"Thank you, thank you." The man smiled and said generously:

"Now we have two top students in our family. Come on, Xiaoyao, quickly arrange a private room for your cousin."

"It's arranged. Please go upstairs, cousin, and follow me." Yin Shuyao handled the matter at hand quickly, walked out of the wine cabinet and personally led the young man upstairs.

"Have you joined any clubs since you went to college, Xiaoyao?" The young man in red chatted as they walked.

"Not yet, too busy. Some time ago, many classmates chose clubs they were interested in and joined, but I just couldn't spare the time."

"If you don't join clubs in college, the fun will be half gone."

"Clubs are quite new to me, I'll see when the time comes."

The girl smiled and said, "If it's a math club or a decryption club, I'm a little interested, it seems like joining one wouldn't be bad."

"By the way, I saw you playing Sudoku decryption before, you seemed to say that you can use this as a password, is that true?"

"Yes, but my current ideas are still a little imperfect, and I still have to polish them in places where the uniqueness is insufficient." Yin Shuyao turned her head and looked at the Luban lock and Sudoku table on the table and said.

"If you figure it out, you must send it to me in the letter as soon as possible!" Speaking of this, the mixed-blood youth said excitedly with a glow in his eyes.

"But cousin, I'm not a professional either. Are you sure you want to use the encryption code book I made?" The girl reminded the youth with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter, believe in yourself. If you can't do it, the other people in the Citizen Army can't do it either." The youth whispered.

Then he ended the topic and smiled as he asked his club friends to follow his cousin upstairs.

The girl arranged a relatively secluded and quiet corner box for her cousin and the club members.

She knew that her cousin was one of the leaders of the Citizen Army behind the scenes.

Every time he drank too much, he would talk about his ideas about the future people's livelihood and political structure of the planet without restraint.

This is a taboo in the Empire.

The Guild Alliance does not allow civilians to talk about what they do. Once they are discovered, the suppression team of the Hive Police will come to their door and arrest them in a prison called "Bastille Dun Tower".

Not to mention the Citizen Army members like my cousin who not only talk but also intend to take action.

It is said that the prison is full of such political prisoners. Once they are arrested, they will never see these people again.

Although Enjolras's cousin came from a wealthy family, his father's company and civilian fleet had frequent trade exchanges with the Guild Alliance.

But he, who had lived and ate with the sloppy sailors since childhood, sympathized with the poor, was cynical, and felt extremely ashamed of the Guild Alliance's behavior of squeezing the people's blood and sweat.

Yin Shuyao pursed her lips.

Her relationship with the Citizen Army was not completely clean, because she needed huge tuition fees, and she also didn't want her father to be too tired.

She took over the account handling work of the Citizen Army through her cousin privately, and psychologically supported the Citizen Army's protest struggle.

The Guild Alliance's behavior was getting more and more excessive. They seemed to raise the survival necessities without thinking, and didn't care about the lives of the people in the Zhongchao at all.

Recently, I don't know why, like a demon, it even raised the collection line to 45% of the average income.

It is said that the war in the empire escalated, and the Ministry of the Interior required them to pay double tithes.

But in the past, when the tithes were paid normally, the survival necessities tax rate was only 13%. How could there be a double tithe that took away nearly half of the income! No matter from which angle, it does not conform to the principles of planetary economics and taxation that she learned.

[Are the people in the Guild Alliance and the Ministry of Internal Affairs fools?] She couldn't help but complain silently in her heart.
