After spending a long time reading and his eyes became sore again, Sean leaned back: "How can I remember everything in two months..."
He chose to read all the books first and is now finishing the second one.
The more I read, the more I feel that memorizing it all in two months is as difficult as heaven!
It’s not because Sean is lazy, it’s just that there is too much content!
He began to think about his future plans: "Whether I can meet the standards for taking the exam or not, it will be useful for me to supplement this knowledge now, so the time spent is worth it.
“I now have to consider a scenario where the search for Arya could become a long-term affair.
“Then I can no longer continue my investigation as a traveler.
"First of all, my funds are limited and I have to be careful."
"Then I have to be prepared to stay at Newlandale for the long haul."
While thinking this, Sean put all the money on the table and counted it. The total was 155 New Zealand dollars and 82 cents.
Sean's original job as a reporter wasn't very profitable, so this was all he had left.
In New Testament City, daily accommodation and meals are a big expense. Before coming, Sean also considered booking a motel in the suburbs, where the daily room rate was even less than NZ$1.
However, considering that commuting from the suburbs to the city not only costs time, but also costs money for transportation. After weighing the balance, you will choose the "Mist and Rose" hotel with a good price/performance ratio.
Sean's current room rate is NZD 3 per day; daily meal costs fluctuate around NZD 60. If there are other expenses for the subsequent investigation, Sean will soon run out of money.
Fortunately, these expensive explorer books were all lent to him by Catherine. And she also promised that the teaching fees would be paid with the exploration dividends after passing the assessment. Otherwise, the current Sean may not be able to afford to become a explorer.
"Although Catherine looks a little cold, she is really a good person..." Sean couldn't help but think of Catherine's cold eyes and touched the sacred dagger placed on the table.
"Becoming an explorer doesn't seem to be something that can be accomplished immediately. If you don't think of other ways to make money first, let alone tracking down Aaliyah's whereabouts, your life will be a problem." Sean sighed, He carefully put the banknotes and coins back into his wallet, "I have to find something to do to make money. In addition, I should also consider renting a house - this way the expenses will be much less."
Sean flipped through today's newspaper to see if there was anything he could do.
"Nicholas Electrical Laboratory is recruiting assistants, requiring a college science and engineering background..."
"Federal Terminal Company has long-term recruitment of transportation drivers and warehouse managers, and they are guaranteed by the union..."
"Winston Restaurant is recruiting waiters..."
The more Sean looked at it, the more distressed he became: "I have to arrange time to prepare for the Explorer's assessment, and I have to do my best to track down Aaliyah's whereabouts. Either these tasks are not in line with my educational background, or there are almost no days off!"
After reading the recruitment page from beginning to end, he still couldn't find a suitable job. The distressed Sean suddenly saw a line of small words in the bottom column of the newspaper:
"New Testament Daily News has been collecting news and in-depth reporting manuscripts for a long time, and the rewards are generous. If you are interested, please contact..."
Make money writing press releases? Sean's eyes lit up. This is my old profession, so I will definitely have no problem doing it.
“But... it takes a lot of time to dig up news, conduct interviews, compile manuscripts, etc.!
"Although this job is the best for me, time is still the biggest issue!"
When Sean was thinking about how to resolve this conflict, there was another knock on the door.
Opening the door, Miss Daisy outside the door asked coquettishly: "Can I come in?"
"Of course." Sean stepped aside.
"Oh? Are you reading a book?" Daisy looked at the books spread out on the table.
"Yes. There is so much to learn and not enough time..."
By reading the "Book of Souls", Sean now knows that it is inaccurate to call the things he diffuses "soul". "Soul" is a unified whole. What Sean diffuses is only the extension of the soul and does not involve the core of the soul. It should be called "spirit".
Since this is an advanced concept and an advanced application of the soul, it is only slightly mentioned in the second half of "Book of Souls".
Sean is now certain that the spiritual essence extending out of him cannot be seen without special means. So, he unconsciously stretched out his ectoplasm and put the tentacles that could not penetrate the soul on Daisy's chest - this was a method he discovered during previous practice. He could see more clearly than using a stethoscope. Hear the sounds inside people's bodies.
Boom, boom, boom...
"The heartbeat is even and the breathing is steady." Sean felt a little relieved, "Daisy is not guilty now."
For safety reasons, he still stretched out his tentacles and checked to see if there was anyone near the corridor. The corridors were also empty.
"I caught him on the spot when he was hiding something." Daisy walked to the window and lit a cigarette. A red cigarette butt flickered against the night background. "That bastard teamed up with the Celtic guy who delivered the beef. He wanted to Hide a batch of black market artifacts in my freezer."
"Which... uh, bastard?"
"The cook I hired - he said he hated his fellow villagers, but in fact he has been working for the Celtic Gang."
Sean asked calmly: "Then did you call the police?"
Daisy laughed softly, as if Sean said something very childish: "Sean, you are so cute."
Daisy doesn't seem to want to hide her true colors. Considering her enthusiasm, maybe that's a good thing.
"But I also found a pure soul." Daisy's brows relaxed a little, "A trustworthy person. Although he is still a child."
Sean nodded with some relief: Little Lyon's confession really had a good effect.
"It's great that this incident didn't affect you." Sean said sincerely, looking directly into Daisy's green eyes, "You are a good person, and I hope everything is well with you."
Dong dong dong dong dong…
Um? Has her heartbeat increased? what happened?
A blush flashed across Daisy's cheeks and she looked away: "Sean, I want to thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have been in big trouble this time.
"I will definitely try my best to help you with Aaliyah's matter."
After saying that, Daisy left in a hurry. She left a little suddenly, leaving Sean a little confused.
After being bored in the room all day, Sean wanted to go out and get some fresh air, so he stopped by the front desk to go through the procedures for extending his stay.
The lady at the front desk smiled and said, "Mr. Sean, your room fee has been paid until next month."
Sean was stunned for a moment before he realized that Daisy had refilled it for him.
Sean's heart moved slightly. Although he didn't mean to do this, it did save a lot of money for him who was a little tight on money - if he had to stay in the hotel for half a month, this would save him nearly 50 New Zealand dollars!
“However, if the search for Aaliya becomes a long-term matter, it will not be convenient to live here.
“You still have to think about ways to make money and rent a house.
“Although the goal has not changed, there is no need to worry too much about money now.
