Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

Chapter 150: The Nanny in Troubled Times 16

Ghost stories began to circulate among the people, but the authorities dispatched a large number of people to investigate the case. They would not catch the thief, but would find the stolen goods. The entire Haicheng was sealed off, and all goods could only enter but not leave.

As soon as the ban was issued, many businesses wailed, but the Sun Country will not reason with you. Their words are the truth. It would be best if the thief is found, but if not, this trick will be used to force him out.

With Li Ma, a gossiper, Ye Zhiqiu knows the news outside without going out. She has no way to change the embargo, but if it really affects the normal lives of the residents in the city, she doesn't mind killing a few high-ranking officials of the Sun Kingdom.

There was no rush to kill people, the most urgent thing was to transport the supplies out. She contacted Li Fang and asked him to find a boat or a car to pick them up at a suitable location outside Haicheng.

Li Fang received more news, but he thought it was just smokescreens from the Sun Country, but he didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to have done it. He was very curious about how the other party did it and how they escaped unscathed. If their soldiers could also learn this skill, the casualties in future missions would definitely be reduced a lot.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly. She couldn't tell the secrets of the space, and she couldn't teach martial arts, but she could hand in the secret manuals. As for how much she could learn, it depended on her talent. In fact, her talent was average. After so many years of training, she couldn't say that she could fight ten people at once when facing a real martial arts master. At most, she could fight three people at once.

This is with the guidance of systematic one-on-one video teaching. Self-study would only have a worse effect. Knowing that she did not have much talent, she had long since given up the desire to cultivate immortals. A useless person who entered the world of cultivating immortals would die sooner or later, so it was safer to stay in the ordinary world.

The system is also a timid one. Ye Zhiqiu doesn't dare to enter the immortal world. It is also afraid of being captured by other systems after entering the advanced world. It is also good to live in the low-level world. The less you earn, the less you earn. Being a system, you should be content with what you have.

Everyone wanted to be a nobody, but Li Fang was so excited when he received the secret book. He knew Ye Zhiqiu was not an ordinary person, and it didn't matter if he didn't want to take a disciple in person. If he sent the secret book back to his hometown, there would definitely be a master who could understand it, so he should thank him.

"It's better to stop talking nonsense. Just decide the time and place and place the advertisement in the newspaper. I will deliver it on time after I see it." Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to make another trip in the middle of the night. If you walk too much at night, you will always run into ghosts. It's better to meet them as little as possible.

This time she didn't put on makeup to hide her complexion, but found an excuse that she studied too late. Li's mother didn't understand studying, and Ye Yuan was still young. Thinking that she would also have homework that she couldn't finish, she instantly understood Ye Zhiqiu, and at the same time, she was worried that she would not be able to get into college in the future, so she returned to school and studied harder.

She was already the top student in the class, but she felt that was not enough, so she took the initiative to learn the knowledge of the first grade. During the break, the teacher saw her textbook and randomly checked a few questions. Unexpectedly, Ye Yuan answered all of them correctly.

There was a flash of surprise in the teacher's eyes. The number of random test questions increased, and Ye Yuan felt that it was getting harder and harder. However, he still gave the correct answers after careful consideration.

"Student Ye, do you want to skip a grade?" The teacher's tone at this time was just like the wolf grandmother who tempted Little Red Riding Hood.

Ye Yuan opened his eyes wide: "Teacher, what is skipping a grade?"

The teacher slapped his head in annoyance. What was the point of talking to the students about this? For such a serious matter, the parents should be called directly. After school, Ye Yuan relayed the teacher's words to Ye Zhiqiu. Because he didn't understand, he didn't say that the teacher asked the parents to skip a grade.

The school Ye Zhiqiu chose was a civilian school where most of the students came from average families. Therefore, there were more male students than female students in the school.

The school wanted to meet with the parents. Ye Zhiqiu thought Ye Yuan was bullied at school, so she rushed to school early the next morning. When she saw the teacher, she found out that it was about skipping a grade. She looked at Ye Yuan, who didn't understand what was going on, and tried to explain the meaning of skipping a grade in the simplest terms.

"Make your own decision." She neither agreed nor disagreed. It was a good thing for the child to have a promising future, but she also wanted the child to have a happy childhood.

The teacher thought Ye Zhiqiu was kidding. He knew that the parents had this attitude, so it would be better for them as teachers to talk to the students directly. Ye was still young. What if he made the wrong choice? This was a matter of life and death, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Ye Yuan didn't think too long and made a decision in just a few seconds: "Mom, I want to skip a grade."

One year of schooling can save one year of tuition. She knows that her family is not short of money, but it must be difficult for her mother to make money while going to school. In addition to saving money, she also wants to go to college earlier and learn more skills to drive away the enemy.

The teacher didn't care why Ye Yuan agreed to skip a grade. He just knew that he had to seize this rare talent. If he could really train a talented student, it would be easier for the school to recruit students in the future.

The decision to skip a grade was made. Ye Zhiqiu looked at the time and realized it was getting late, so she would not go to school. For her, missing a class did not affect anything. She had already learned most of the knowledge in the books, and the few that she had not learned must be outdated knowledge.

"Let's go celebrate." She hadn't eaten out for a long time, so she took this opportunity to see the famous Peace Hotel.

Although the average cost per person at the Peace Hotel a hundred years later is still affordable, she has never been in there. How could an ordinary worker be willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a single meal? Even if they save, it would be enough for a month's food expenses.

The Peace Hotel is expensive now, but she had just received some royalties, and in this era she was considered a high-income author, so an occasional meal there was acceptable.

It was Ye Yuan's first time in a high-end restaurant. She felt that her eyes were not enough. Everything seemed good until she saw the menu. It was too expensive. She had never eaten such an expensive meal before. If she left now, she didn't know if it would be too late.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom just earned some royalties, so she won't keep you here to wash dishes."

Ye Yuan felt relieved. She also wanted to make money. Is there any opportunity for children to make money? She saw people selling flowers and cigarettes at the entrance of the hotel, and there were newspaper boys. She could do all these, but she knew Ye Zhiqiu would not agree, so she only dared to think about it in her heart.

This question has been lingering in her mind. A table full of delicious food doesn't taste good to her. Only after living a hard life in the orphanage did she realize the importance of money.

Ye Zhiqiu found her sad face funny and gave her a piece of braised pork: "Don't think about things while eating. No matter how big the problem is, think about it after you finish eating."

The fat but not greasy braised pork exuded an enticing aroma. Ye Yuan swallowed her saliva carefully, fearing that someone would see and laugh at her. She also glanced left and right to make sure that no one noticed her greedy look, so she ate the meat with peace of mind.

Ye Zhiqiu took a bite and found the braised pork to be very ordinary. If it were sold at another place, it would definitely not be worth the price. But looking at the other people in the restaurant, it seemed that no one was there just to eat like her.
