Honkai Impact 3: Taking Life as C? Even the Valkyries are afraid of me

The coming-of-age ceremony at the Hearth House is like the graduation season when the kapok flowers are in bloom.

Bai Ming could feel the anticipation and reluctance of these graduating children for the future.

"From now on, you are no longer children, but adults, which means you can no longer be as childish and willful as children, but have to shoulder more responsibilities... No matter what the road ahead is, I hope you can keep going."

Bai Ming gave a speech in a very professional manner. Standing in front of these children, he felt like he was experiencing what it was like to be a principal.

Although these children are already 18 years old, in Bai Ming's eyes they are still children.

Perhaps this is what the elders think of the younger generations, and what the teachers and principals felt when we graduated.

"teacher……"

"Teacher~"

Some of them knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their faces, even though Bai Ming had never taught them many lessons.

They clearly understand who picked them up when they were most helpless, let them live in a warm house, eat delicious food, wear thick cotton clothes, and hired teachers to teach them to read, recognize words, and learn skills to make a living.

It not only saves lives, but also gives birth to new people.

Every child here is excellent. Bai Ming sighed and said that he only provided basic education, and they could have what they have today thanks to their own efforts.

Such excellent children were just born in the wrong era. If they were placed in modern society, they might have a better situation.

But it doesn’t matter now. After the training in the Hearth House, in this era, as a girl who can fight, has the ability to protect herself, and masters a skill, she has already surpassed 80% of the people.

Well, the emphasis is on girls. Why are all the people picked up by Hearth House girls?

In addition to their small number, boys are also an important labor force in the family. Even if the family goes bankrupt, boys are more likely to be sold at a good price than girls. This can be compared to the cows in a farmer's home.

Little girls are small and skinny, and it costs a lot of money to raise them, so compared to buying small ones, capital in this era is more inclined to buy well-grown ones.

So Bai Ming could only pick up little girls outside.

Maybe the boy did have it, but once thrown out, it was quickly picked up, just like an undeveloped ADC, just a moving money bag.

As the ceremony ended, the graduating children left one by one with tears in their eyes.

A year ago, they were preparing for today's departure and had already started to mix in society.

In other words, before today, almost everyone already had a place to go.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about them at all. At least they have the ability to survive. If not, then the educational policy of self-reliance would be in vain.

There are fewer and fewer people.

Finally, there was only one left - Colette, the little girl selling matches.

She was very skinny at that time, almost the same age as Otto when she was eight or five years old. But now she has grown into a mature lady. After her face has grown, she no longer looks like Otto at first glance.

Because she practices swordsmanship so often and has long legs, she looks like a female knight.

Bai Ming: "You go too."

Colette: "How can I leave without repaying the kindness I have received from my teacher?"

"What's the point of repaying a favor? If you get into trouble in the future, just don't tell me about it.

Go, do more good deeds from now on and don’t do evil, or I will not forgive you.”

After saying this, Bai Ming turned around and said coldly: "Let's go."

"Teacher..." Colette bit her lower lip, her eyes rippling. Finally, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and then left reluctantly.

........................

Everyone is gone.

There were only Bai Ming, Rita, Otto and Karin left on the empty grass, and on the table were a pile of gifts given to Bai Ming by the children.

Bai Ming packed it up and put it into the system space.

【Gifts for children at Hearth House】

[Description: It contains the children’s thoughts, even though it is not something valuable]

Rita: "Master Bai Ming, don't you want to open the gift and take a look?"

Bai Ming: "No need, let these gifts be buried in my memory as treasures."

Kallen: "Everyone has left, even Colette has left. I feel a little lonely. I was just a little girl when I first saw her selling matches on the street."

Otto: "The teacher really likes to worry. The 15-year-old's coming-of-age ceremony was delayed for three years."

Bai Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Ah, what did you say? 15 years old means you are an adult? !

Rita covered her mouth and snickered, while Otto Kallen, not noticing his reaction, continued.

"Next month is my coming-of-age ceremony, teacher, remember to come."

"It will be my turn next year. According to the responsibilities and obligations of the Kaslana family, I have to join the army next year."

After hearing this, Bai Ming realized that he had mistakenly confused the adult time of this era with the modern era.

Wouldn't that mean I have to raise those kids for three more years? Oh my god, what a loss.

Well, it’s not a loss. After all, the chocolate from the plantation has been making money at no cost.

The initial investment has been earned back long ago. Bai Ming felt that he brought one box of gold when he came here, and it would become ten boxes by the time he leaves.

Then again, over the years, this batch of chocolates has gone from being over 30 years old to being over 40 years old.

In this era, the average age is not high, and people aged 40 are already considered old.

Bai Ming did not intend to provide them with retirement care. He planned to lay them off and let Tianming send another batch over. Of course, the old chocolates still had to process the new chocolates into products that met the standards before they could leave.

After telling them the news, the old chocolates were so excited that some of them even cried on the spot.

"Finally, I finally made it, woooooo~"

“Although there is no salary, it is already a blessing from God that I can leave this plantation.”

"God bless, God bless."

Bai Ming: “…”

It should be said that it was the mercy of the White Kite Immortal (＃－.－).

BIG courage, (╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴

You are praying to the gods of Europe on the land of the gods of Shenzhou? I was planning to let you go this month after you have trained the new recruits, but it seems that you will have to postpone it until the end of next month.

After I said this to them, I could immediately hear the wailing of the chocolates.

"Long live the Immortal Bai Yuan. Is it too late to pray now?"

"Asshole, who was praying to God just now? I'm going to kill him."

One of them even handed over a whip: "Brother, use this, it's very powerful."

In fact, Bai Ming had originally planned to let them go at the end of next month.

But, it's because some of them are dishonest.

It’s time to hit.

As for the wages over the years, since Bai Ming is not a real capitalist, he is still willing to give them money.

However, it was not him who paid the salary, but destiny.

Let me emphasize first that these chocolates have never belonged to Baiming’s people, but to Tianming. Tianming’s people are paid by Tianming, is there anything wrong with that?

They come here to work because it is destiny that sends them here, which is equivalent to a company business trip or labor dispatch.

Bai Ming is on a business trip and working place here, and it is not a branch of Tianming.

Bai Ming also wanted to pay them, but this was not in compliance with regulations, so he had to go to their original company, Tianming, to get his wages.

There's nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong with it at all.

........................

Second month.

Otto's birthday was also his coming-of-age ceremony. Although he did not completely inherit the family business, he still had a title.

At this moment, Otto is no longer the little sissy he used to be. The temperament of an elegant male aristocrat is evident from him.

As he grew older, Rita and Bai Ming no longer forced him to wear women's clothes, although he would be very suitable to wear them again.

Otto is now a second-generation official. He is very knowledgeable, intelligent, and politically savvy. The only thing that remains the same is his poor physical strength.

Compared to the previous situation where he would vomit after running a few steps or when he was weak, this is already a huge improvement. It feels much better than the original plot.

Otto's coming-of-age ceremony was very grand and prosperous. After all, he was the son of a bishop of destiny and a wealthy man.

Looking at Otto, Bai Ming couldn't help but think of his penniless start in his previous life, and felt a little unhappy.

At this point, Otto was already taller than Kallen, but he still hadn't reached the peak of his height.

Bai Ming was still very simple, he just gave him a scalp-grazing blow on the top of his head.

Otto, who was laughing foolishly, was stabbed for no apparent reason. He looked at his falling hair and exclaimed:

"Ah my hair, what are you doing teacher? I have to go upstairs later."
