Studying Science in the Alternate World

It was really a surprise for Duke to get a 0-ring spirit beast golden-bellied ink carp.

Although the price of spirit beasts, especially the quasi-spirit beasts with 0 rings, is not ridiculously expensive, it can still be regarded as a small fortune, which can be used to subsidize the family.

He now has three sources of income.

One is the fixed card repair income of Little Sam's card repair shop. After excluding material costs, wages, and commissions for card repairers, he can earn about 50 silver dragons a month.

One is the service fee for purchasing agents, and now the scale has expanded. Besides Levin, he also hired a big and honest Harper, who can basically earn 120 silver dragons a month.

The other one is to find cards at the waste card station. After repairing and refurbishing, they sell them as second-hand cards. With Xiaoyi's assistance, they can earn about 80 silver dragons a month.

Plus plus minus minus, the total income of two golden dragons a month.

certainly.

After the end of the year, the business tax paid by old Sam will be due. At that time, he will have to pay the tax by himself, as well as the expenses for the relevant agencies in the town. He will have to prepare one or two gold dragons a year.

"Let's go, go home!"

Seeing that it was getting late, Duke rushed home with a bucket.

Back on the familiar Second Vertical Street, acquaintances immediately greeted each other: "Oh, Mr. Duke, are you going fishing again?"

"yes."

"Boss Little Duke is really in a good mood. How was the harvest?"

Duke responded with a smile: "Don't say it, I really ran into it. I caught a wounded golden-bellied ink carp. Boss Abraham came to see it."

He passed the bucket over.

Apart from a few small miscellaneous fish inside, it was the golden-bellied black carp whose tail had been knocked off half. It was no longer bleeding, and its breath was very stable. Obviously, its physique as a spirit beast allowed it to successfully withstand the gunshot wound.

"Hey!" Boss Abraham tsk-tsk exclaimed, "It's really a golden-bellied ink carp, your luck... tsk-tsk!"

After watching the fish.

Duke said again: "By the way, Boss Abraham, I'm going to order a few more sets of summer work clothes. Come back and help our shop assistant measure the size?"

Abraham is the owner of a nearby tailor shop. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I happen to be fine. I'll go there when I go back and get a measuring tape."

"See you soon."

"Well, you are busy first."

Back at Little Sam’s card shop, Aunt Abby had already prepared dinner, and except for the three card repairers who had already returned home from get off work, all the shop assistants were eating in the yard.

Today, Little Sam's card shop has nine employees, excluding card repairers and Duke himself.

Before Duke crossed over, the soybean oil processing factory he opened had only about this number of workers.

However, the annual income of 20 gold dragons at the small Sam Shuka shop is equivalent to 200,000 yuan, which is not as good as the income of the processing plant. In the good two years, Duke relied on the soybean oil processing plant to earn a living Earn three to four million a year; in normal years, you can earn three to four million a year.

It's not that he has made money, and he is also reluctant to become a senior member of the Falcon Shooting Club, so he can practice guns when he has nothing to do.

"Boss, I'll serve you a meal." Aunt Abby stood up.

"Don't worry, I'll go to work for a while, just save some for me." Duke waved his hand.

After finishing speaking, he took the bucket and went to the warehouse in the backyard to rebuild the house.

"Chichi!"

As soon as he entered the bedroom, a chubby squirrel jumped right in front of him. It was a two-month-old long-haired mongoose cub, Xiaodou.

Xiaodou was timid, Duke didn't take it out, and it hid on the ceiling of the bedroom.

Quiet, basically not making any movement.

"Is Xiaodou hungry? There are pieces of minced fish in the bucket, do you want to eat?" Duke fished a piece of minced fish from the bucket and handed it to Xiaodou.

Xiaodou took a sniff, then picked up the broken fish pieces with both paws, and began to nibble on them.

It is now ready to eat meat.

Duke moved the fish tank he had just bought—he had planned to raise some small fish when he went fishing—and after the fish tank was filled with water, he put the golden-bellied ink carp in the bucket into it.

Neither eaten nor sold.

He chose to raise the golden-bellied ink carp first, which is a kind of romance of an old man-after all, his soul is not young, and it is time to like raising fish and planting grass.

The golden-bellied ink carp entered the fish tank, feeling a little uncomfortable, leaning against the corner and gasping for breath.

There is no oxygen pump.

Duke was a little worried about whether the golden-bellied ink carp would be able to adapt, but considering that it didn't burp in the bucket, it can be seen that as a 0-ring spirit beast, it has a strong ability to survive and adapt.

The fish tank should be able to support it.

"Xiaodou, watch carefully, it will be your companion from now on." Duke said, and moved a pot of grass on the desk to the side of the fish tank, "Spiritual fish paired with spiritual grass, this feng shui can't take off! "

The grass is the ground orchid that was shoveled home before.

After finishing these tasks and leaving a few pieces of fish pieces for Xiaodou, Duke went to eat in the yard.

Sally at the counter had already finished her meal, and when she saw Duke coming, she chatted and said, "A few more mercenaries came to repair cards today, and their accents are not local."

"Did you ask where they came from and why?"

"I asked, but they didn't say anything, they just said that they came here to explore and find several scarce resources. But I don't think they are exploring. I heard one of them say that the house is rented... Boss, think about it, if they come to explore, they will leave in a few days, there is no need to rent a house, just stay in a hotel."

Duke nodded.

The deliveryman Dutlan followed up and said: "When I went to deliver the goods, I also saw many unfamiliar faces wandering on the street."

After hearing this, Aunt Abi said worriedly: "Could it be that we are really going to start a pioneering war? Oh, I don't know how many people will die now!"

"It has nothing to do with us." Apprentice Dieter said nonchalantly.

"It doesn't matter how can it be." Sally said, "It's really going to open up a war. Our little Sam's card repair shop must be very busy. How many people will come to repair cards by then."

paused.

Sally said again: "Boss, I'm a little worried."

"worry about what?"

"I'm worried that the Best Card Repair Shop won't be able to close down. Although there are few people repairing cards there now, once the pioneering war is launched and there are more people repairing cards, the Best Card Repair Shop may come back to life."

"Yeah, there is a possibility." Steve the delivery man nodded.

Duke frowned. It would definitely be a shocking thing for him if the War of Exploitation started and the Best Shuka Store took the opportunity to come back to life.

Back then, Best's betrayal almost ruined Little Sam's Shuka shop.

The popularity of Best Card Repair Shop is extremely bleak now, but Best is a card repair master after all, and he has accumulated a family business over the years, and he can still sustain it.

He must have also heard the news of the pioneering war, and wanted to persevere.

"You don't have to worry about this, no matter whether the pioneering war will start or not, the best card store will close down sooner or later." Duke reassured everyone, "besides, even if the best card store survives the pioneering war, so what, There's no card shop on Second Vertical Street that can compete with our little Sam's shop!"

"This is, this is!" Dutlan nodded.

The others also nodded, believing this.

After everyone had finished their dinner and Aunt Abby washed the dishes, Sally closed the shop and left.

Duke was the only one left in the big little Sam repair card shop. He didn't go back to his bedroom to practice the "Universal Blood Refining Method" or read books to expand the database as usual.
