Chapter 38 The ways to make big money are all written in the criminal law
The next day, Mo Cheng got up early in the morning. It was hard to tell whether it was the urgent desire to make money that drove him out of bed, or the uncomfortable wooden bed that forced him to get up.
It was still daybreak outside. The children and elderly people in Lonnie's Home had not gotten up yet. Only Lonnie was cleaning the yard.
"Good day, Reverend Mo Cheng. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Good day, Sister Loni. I slept well."
After saying hello, Mo Cheng walked straight to the donation box, took out his money bag and poured the remaining fifty golden griffins into it without counting.
"Brother Mo Cheng!"
The continuous collision sounds of the golden griffins caught Loni's attention. When she got closer, she found that it was Mo Cheng pouring money into the donation box. When she was about to speak, she was stopped by Mo Cheng.
“Shh…”
Touching his lips lightly with his fingers, Mo Cheng whispered, "The children are still sleeping, don't wake them up."
According to Mo Cheng's observation, the Licker Order named Albert's House was obviously on the verge of disbanding. It had accepted several orphans without parents, as well as elderly people who were physically disabled or too old to work and had no income. With Loni alone, the order could not support itself for a few months.
As for funding and assistance from the Glorious Church, don't expect it in the short term.
In other words, if Mo Cheng did not contribute to maintaining this monastery, not only would he lose his free shelter in Fairhaven, but his ID card would also become an illegal ID that could not withstand the inspection of the Principality of Aundair.
Only by maintaining the House of Albert can Mo Cheng's status in the Principality of Andair be considered to be [established].
A verifiable identity can save you a lot of trouble and also allow you to contact the principal of Winterhold College with relatively little difficulty.
And if possible, Mo Cheng also plans to expand the power of the Licker Order and strive to become a major order within the Church of Glory. Having power in hand is always better than having no power when something happens.
"First, use the money to improve the food. When the children are growing up, black bread and vegetable soup without vegetables are not enough."
Thinking of the black bread last night that was so hard that even his teeth were about to loosen, Mo Cheng felt a toothache. It was obvious that he did not like that kind of dinner.
"There are also herbs that need to be used for medical purposes, and the house needs to be renovated. It's not a big deal when the weather is hot, but it will be troublesome in winter."
Looking at the mottled walls of the house, and even when he slept with the windows closed last night , he could still feel the wind blowing in from outside. Mo Cheng knew that the current Albert House was probably an old building.
In life, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most important issues to be solved. What Mo Cheng can do now is to deal with the emergency first, and deal with the [housing] which looks like a dangerous building, and the [food] which makes his teeth ache when he eats it because of his dragon bloodline.
"But, so much money..."
Loni saw clearly that the donation box was full of golden griffins. Even all the funds collected by Pastor Albert were not as much as this time.
"This is a gift from the glory. When people's dreams and hopes are thirsty to the extreme, the glory will come to help."
Using the sentences he had memorized from reading books over the past few days, Mo Cheng patted Luo Ni on the shoulder and said, "I believe you will use this money well."
"By the way, I have something to take care of, so I won't be back for lunch. When Lilia wakes up, please tell her to continue meditating and not to be lazy."
After Mo Wen left, Loni looked at the donation box full of golden griffins and couldn't help but sigh, "It's not good to leave so much money here."
The only external protection of Albert House is a rusty iron door. Its greatest function is to make a loud noise when pushed open. Apart from that, its protective power is almost zero.
If you continue to place donation boxes in conspicuous places, it won’t be long before gang members kick down the door and claim that this is their lost money.
"And he wants me to use it properly... Priest Mo Cheng is really troublesome."
Lonnie picked up the donation box in one hand, which should have been quite heavy. When she took a step, there was no sound of footsteps, which neither attracted the attention of others nor woke up the elderly and children who were still sleeping.
After hiding the donation box in a safe place, Lonnie continued cleaning as if nothing had happened.
…
What is the fastest-earning job?
Before Mo Cheng traveled through time , there was a saying that the fastest way to make money was written in the Criminal Law. In the Principality of Aundair, the method seemed to be similar.
However, Mo Cheng was very clear about his own strength. With the strength of the fifth level, he could dominate a border town like Hesen Town, and even slaughtering the Blood Fang Gang was no problem.
But in Fairhaven, if a murder occurs within the third ring, the Knights and the Law Enforcement Corps will probably investigate it thoroughly. Even if it happens in the [civilian area] of the fourth or fifth ring, if too many people die, it will be investigated.
In Fairhaven, "too many deaths" generally refers to five or more people.
Wisely giving up all illegal jobs, Mo Cheng began to count on his fingers ways to make money quickly.
"Registering as a lecturer at the College of Winterhold as a mage? No, unless I can draw [Arcane Supremacy] or even draw all the skills of Invoker, I will be a complete [Law Illiterate] in the eyes of the mage."
"Assassin? No, that won't work. The assassination missions in Fairhaven start at least at the rank of Earl."
"Mercenaries? Individual mercenaries are worthless. It takes a team of four to clean the sewers."
I thought all along but couldn't think of any way to make money. The Steel Wolf King's teeth in my hand had been out of use for two months and their activity had greatly decreased. Even if I sold them, the total price would only be around three hundred gold griffins.
It is far from enough to fill the funding gap.
"I understand why only the rich could afford to play the mage in the past."
Training a mage requires not only qualifications but also a lot of money. And most importantly, the one thousand gold griffins that Mo Cheng is worried about now are just the tuition fees.
Materials, equipment, non-universal books and scrolls, these bottomless pits of money have not yet opened their bloody mouths to Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng never thought that a monk with the [Poverty Vow] would have to worry about making money.
"I shouldn't have signed the Poverty Pledge in the first place! Why didn't I draw the Alchemist's Greed?"
Scratching his hair in distress, Mo Cheng walked into a market. He planned to try his luck and see if he could find a bargain with his own vision.
Although picking up a bargain is no different from winning the lottery, there is always a slim hope.
But as soon as Mo Cheng walked in, his attention was attracted by a stall.
To be precise, it was a stall filled with fruits and herbs. Judging from the scattered branches and leaves, it was obvious that farmers and hunters outside the city had collected them in the wild and intended to sell them. Since the quality was not high and the quantity was small, no store was willing to buy them.
What attracted Mo Cheng's attention was not anything else, but the vine-like plants on the stall.
