Overgod Ascension

"No. 57 Heibei Road!"

During the summer vacation, Wu Ming found the location of Neville's family based on the information he inquired about.

This is a shack area. The surrounding river is filled with black and stinking river water, with a lot of garbage floating on it. Many shacks are piled together in a messy manner, and there are several crumbling cement buildings among them.

Originally, Wu Ming thought that the area where he lived was the worst in the city, but now it seems that everything must be compared.

Knocking on the shaky door, Wu Ming was not surprised to see a group of dirty imps, as well as rags, rags, old furniture, etc. scattered everywhere.

"Is Neville here? I am his classmate."

Wu Ming tried his best to sound amiable.

"Brother, someone is looking for you!"

A girl with braids and two missing front teeth immediately shouted towards a corner of the room.

"Um?"

In that corner was a rubbish pile consisting of rags and old newspapers. At this moment, the rubbish pile stirred, and Neville got out of the middle.

His hair was messy and there were red threads in his eyes. He obviously didn't sleep well.

"Ah, it's Steven!"

Seeing Wu Ming, Neville's originally sleepy face suddenly sobered up: "Are you looking for me?"

There was confusion on his face.

Although they are both children from not very wealthy families, Steven lives in an apartment building and the environment is much better than his own home. Not to mention, his studies are also better than mine. This time, he is still ranked first in the grade, while he is not. A loser!

Every time he sees Steven, it only reminds him more of his own incompetence.

"What do you want from me?"

Although he usually had a good relationship with Steven, Neville just couldn't fit into Vidi's small circle. Perhaps because of his low self-esteem, he unconsciously alienated everyone.

"Well, let's go for a walk! I have something to tell you!"

Wu Ming directly stated his intention.

"good!"

Neville got up from the ground and said, "Fortunately you came to see me today, otherwise I would have entered the factory tomorrow and worked as an apprentice for Master John!"

Apprentices in this era are not a good job. They are almost the personal slaves of each master. They can be ordered to do anything, but they are not paid even a penny. The only thing they care about is daily food, and the only thing the apprentices have is The hope is that I can learn a little bit of craftsmanship from the master, so that I can go out to work and officially receive a salary.

It's a pity, how could those old masters be so generous? They all hide their unique skills so closely that they wish they could work as apprentices for the rest of their lives.

The two walked out of the shack area and walked slowly along the river bank.

Neville was a little absent-minded, kicking stones on the road from time to time, looking very worried.

Wu Ming felt relieved.

After leaving that area, the depression in his heart was reduced a lot.

"Neville...I need your help with something!"

After turning around in a circle, Wu Ming looked at the river, as well as the factory and chimney not far away, and suddenly said.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Neville rubbed his head and didn't refuse at the beginning. When he was in class, he was a relatively hard-working person and often took on much more work than he deserved. Therefore, he seemed very honest and easy to bully. Of course, Wu Mingke never bullied him.

"I want to do a small business, how about you come over and help me?"

Wu Ming stared into Neville's eyes.

"Are you kidding me? How old are you?"

I don't know why, Neville was obviously a year or two older than Steven, but seeing Steven at this time, Neville felt like he was still a child.

"Hey! Neville... you will become an apprentice tomorrow. Look at the newsboys and milkmen all over the city early in the morning. Why do you still have this view?"

"But...but, this is different!"

Neville muttered.

One is to simply sell your labor and work for others, and the other is to be your own boss, which is of course different.

After confirming that Wu Ming was not joking, Neville finally said: "Then what do you want to do? What company do you want to open?"

"Are you kidding me?"

At this time, Wu Ming stared at Neville with a joking look: "Do you think the people in the Office will agree to two little guys under the age of fourteen becoming the legal persons of a company? I am planning to do some business. But it’s just a small fuss…”

"I see!"

Neville let out a long sigh. He almost thought that Steven opposite him really had the idea of ​​doing big business.

He didn't know why, but thinking of Steven's past deeds, he just felt that the other person would be successful and become a great person in the future.

"Neville, now that the war is over, the economy is recovering, and there are opportunities everywhere! As long as you take this ride, believe me, you can still make money!"

Wu Ming said in a bewitching tone: "Come over and help me, and I can give you a reward of 5 horns to 1 gold yuan a day!"

"Is there any reward?"

Neville's eyes widened, as he thought Wu Ming just wanted him to work for free.

"Of course, and don't you have a group of younger brothers and sisters? They can also come and help me!"

Wu Ming blinked.

"Mary and the others are still so young, what can they do?"

Neville was confused.

"Although they are all brats, they should still be able to handle ordinary picking and picking work, right? At their age, no factory would want them now, so why not come out and do something for me!"

Wu Ming pointed to the huge garbage hills on the outskirts of the city and said, "Your workplace is right there!"

"Um?!"

…

Wu Ming returned home in a happy mood, recalling Neville's face at that time, and finally agreeing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey Steven, where were you today?"

Mrs. Sterling was busy in the kitchen, and suddenly she leaned out half of her body and said: "Your father found a job for you as an intern, working as a purchasing apprentice in a trading company, and you were paid 5 horns of guilders a day..."

The currency system of the Golden Oak Kingdom is also yuan, jiao, and cents. Although the money used now is paper money, you can go to any bank and exchange it for gold. Therefore, the gold content is very high. It is called a gold dollar. One gold dollar is equal to ten A horned shield.

However, Wu Ming just used this salary to lure Neville to work for him, and now other companies are doing the same to him, which really feels like retribution.

"I do not want to go!"

Wu Ming refused directly.

"Um?"

The sounds in the kitchen stopped for a moment, and Mrs. Sterling came out and looked at Wu Ming: "Little Steven, what's wrong with you? Do you know how rare this opportunity is? If it weren't for the sake of your good study, Kate Wen Mr. Won’t agree to it either…”

In her impression, Steven has always been very sensible and obedient. Unexpectedly, he actually refused the family's arrangement today.

‘Is it puberty? ’

Mrs. Sterling began to worry, but unexpectedly, Wu Ming took out a banknote directly from his trouser pocket. The number on it shocked Mrs. Sterling.

"10 gold dollars?"

She exclaimed: "Why do you have so much money?"

"I have started to make money. I have an idea that I plan to put into practice during the summer vacation. I should be able to earn more than 5 gold yuan a day, so..."

Wu Ming originally did not have so much money, but fortunately there is an upright gambling and gambling industry in this world.

The gambling industry in particular is almost the spiritual opium of the poor, and it is even legal in the Golden Oak Kingdom.

And Wu Ming happened to have a little pocket money. After saving it, he could make a few small 'speculations'.

Of course, with his current strength, if he wants to sense the mysterious line of fate and get a series of numbers in the lottery, it is not as difficult as directly robbing a bank.

Fortunately, there are many ways to gamble, including the simplest lottery, and he has the mental power to see...

After a few small trials, Wu Ming immediately made a fortune and now has three digits in his pocket. This is the first pot of gold for him to start his career.

It’s not that you can’t get more, but you can say you are lucky once, and several times in a row, it is really incredible.

And, the more money you get from gambling, the dangers it brings multiply.

With his current strength, these are the limits.

"What are you going to do?"

Sure enough, Mrs. Sterling no longer mentioned anything about the intern apprenticeship. Instead, she stared at Wu Ming with bright eyes.

"Keep it secret!"

Although he would definitely not be able to hide it after knowing it, Wu Ming still behaved like a little adult, making Mrs. Sterling dumbfounded: "You little guy..."

At the dinner table in the evening, Mrs. Sterling exchanged glances with her husband in a tacit understanding, and remained silent with the wisdom of adults. In fact, she was almost ready to start following Steven secretly tomorrow to see what he was up to. .

Wu Ming knew it, but he still pretended to be ignorant and immersed himself in eating.

…

"Hi, Neville!"

"Hi Steven!"

Neville rubbed his hands: "As you asked, we worked hard all day and got these!"

He took Wu Ming to a "secret base" outside the garbage mountain in the suburbs. It was actually a large abandoned shack. The smell inside was quite pungent, and there were several piles of garbage piled aside.

"Well, great, this is your reward for today!"

Wu Ming took out a few 5-corner banknotes, and a child thrust one into his hand.

"No, no, this is too much..."

Although Neville was talking, he unconsciously used force in his hands. The other brothers and sisters were not as coy as him, and they cheered and stuffed the money into their pockets.

"You guys did a great job, let's continue tomorrow!"

Wu Ming sent Neville's group away, then looked at a few piles of waste paper and metal components, with a smile on his lips: "Doing resource recycling? Are you kidding me? With this employment salary and meager rate of return, I'm sure losing profit!"
