Chapter 33 Sweet Dreams

For Lin En, his childhood was lucky and happy compared to most children of this era.

His father was rich and kind, his mother was nagging but gentle, and Sophia, who had been by his side since childhood and had taken the blame for his fights more than once, filled the gap in Lin En's warmth towards his peers. It can be said that when the family suddenly suffered a change, Lin En, who welcomed the storm like a quail, did not change his temperament drastically, all thanks to his childhood healing.

Sophia played an important role in this.

When Lin En felt that his face had been washed by the upright softness and it was becoming a little difficult to breathe, Sophia took a deep breath and pushed Lin En away generously, smiling and rubbing Lin En's head.

"Promising, outstanding. Promising, outstanding! You are worthy of being my good brother Lin En, a clerk of the [Suppression Bureau], so impressive, in the future on the streets, oh my goodness! Who dares to come and trouble me?" For a moment, the big sister Sophia was a little proud again, humming.

What can Lin En say? Lin En can't say anything, there is a confidentiality agreement in the contract he signed.

I always feel that Sophia is a complete gang brain.

However, the wet marks on the shoulders and Sophia's slightly red eyes let Lin En know that her blessings were mixed with more worries. There is no doubt that Lin En has chosen a road full of thorns, even civilians know that there are many dangers on the extraordinary road.

Even so, after the initial surprise, Sophia chose to support Lin En without reservation.

Just like before.

In the [Good Luck Bar] soaked in the dusk light, Lin En and Sophia were both coated with a layer of brilliance. Sophia, who was holding her face, was wearing loose work clothes, but in Lin En's eyes, she was undoubtedly more beautiful than any noble lady he had seen at the banquet.

She was like a mural of a goddess in a church.

"What are you looking at? Eat quickly. I have to buy you clothes later. Hurry up!" The tough street lady destroyed the beauty as soon as she opened her mouth. She patted Lin En's head lightly, and the scar under her left eye twitched.

"Yeah."

Lin En hurriedly lowered his head to answer, no longer staring at Sophia in a rude manner. This ordinary worker's dinner, Lin En swallowed it without any disdain. Not wasting a little food was a respect for the contribution of farmers. Besides, he had seen how so many people worked hard for a meal on Squirrel Street.

Compared with many people, he was lucky and happy enough.

As the foreman of the bar, Sophia asked the kind-hearted boss for a day off and got approval without any difficulty. The boss lady, who was already over fifty years old and had gray hair, looked at the handsome Lynn who was with Sophia, and kindly asked if he wanted to advance some of his salary.

Sophia waved her hand to refuse. How could she not have any savings when she could rent a room in the Midtown area?

Savings.

These two words are a distant and unrealistic word for 60% of people in this era. Daylighters can be seen everywhere, and debtors are all over the society. When Sophia said she had savings, Lynn was still a little surprised. He was very curious about how much she earned during the time when she was struggling on the streets.

Coat, shirt, vest, pants, leather boots, top hat, pocket watch and cane.

The cost of this set is enough for a middle-class family to live frugally for almost half a year. The cost of nearly 10 pounds made Lynn, who was running around with Sophia, tremble. This is already a week's salary for an extraordinary person. Lynn trembled and persuaded Sophia, whose shopping desire was soaring.

After a heartfelt discussion, it was confirmed that Lin En already had a shirt and pants, and it was indeed not appropriate for a minor to hold a cane as a symbol of gentleman, but a pocket watch was necessary to increase his status in the workplace. Finally, the 10 pounds was reduced to 6 pounds, which Lin En could accept. In this way, Lin En was confident that he could pay the money back within the risk assessment.

Sophia also played her street reputation and showed Lin En what it meant for the store to take the initiative to offer discounts or generously make zeros.

The anti-human currency system of a quarter penny has always been criticized, and even the curly-haired baboon can't stand it.

"It will take a few days to pick up the coat and top hat, and the vest, leather boots and pocket watch have been prepared. Although it may not match your handmade shirt, others can't see it." Sophia looked at the object in Lin En's hand with satisfaction. She knew how terrible it was to be inadvertently despised and excluded by the upper class.

You have to live the kind of life you get paid.

This is not only the instinctive pursuit of human beings, but also the rules of the game in this society. Those who violate the rules often have to bear the natural surprise of others.

"..."

Lin En looked at Sofia in silence. There was a trace of puzzlement in Cui Bi's eyes. At this moment, the moon was hanging high in the sky. Everything in Stumm seemed particularly quiet, even the night market workers who never stopped had a rest.

"What's wrong?" Sofia felt a little unnatural when she was looked at by Lin En's somewhat worried eyes.

"Sophia, you will definitely have your own church orphanage, I swear."

"Hehe, of course! I want to be the most powerful nanny!" The elder sister who didn't think about it for a while patted Lin En's shoulder. She was now at the end of the shopping frenzy, and her IQ had obviously dropped by five percentage points.

Looking at her silly smile, Lin En couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two looked at each other and laughed for some reason, as if they wanted to laugh away the depression of the past two months. Sophia grabbed Lin En's hand and trotted forward.

Forget it, she was confused, just remember it clearly. Under the hazy glow of the moth moon, the two people trotting on the streets of Midtown, their eyes were reflected by the little flames of gas lamps, and they were full of hope and yearning for the future.

Hope is the symbol of this era, and it is also the cheapest thing in this era.

That night, Lin En had a dream after taking a bath and going to bed.

He dreamed that he made a fortune as a clerk in [The Light Holder] and reached the top of the Extraordinary. With a wave of his hand, all enemies were wiped out. He saved the world from the hands of some bullshit demon king, and his relatives and friends also gained unimaginable wealth and power. In the gratitude of the whole world, he opened the door to return home, and a soft white light was projected from the door to welcome Lin En.

When he opened his eyes, he woke up from the dream and found that the white light of returning home was the morning light of [Burning Sun].

Lin En, lying on the bed, seemed to hear the joyful laughter of the Black Holy Grail again, which was looming and itchy in his ears, making people linger.
