Doomsday Code

Chapter 340 Mocha's New Life

Huidun held his forehead with his hand and sighed:

"I've been so busy lately that I can't spare any extra time to practice. I wonder if Teacher Peng Beisi is mad at me."

Looking at Huidun sighing, Chen Cheng said in his heart that Peng Beisi would never remember that he had a student like you now, as he was currently busy studying magic patterns.

Of course, Chen Cheng certainly couldn't say that.

“Count, I think Professor Penbes will understand your difficulties, and now the timing is right. We can do the contraction state in the next few months, and you will have enough time to practice.

It just so happens that Professor Penbes and his team have achieved some results in their latest research, so you can go and learn from them.”

Huidun nodded, and after the two finished their meal, they did not notice a second dish of poisoned food.

Chen Cheng reminded Huidun again, asking him to go out for a few days and not to touch these poisonous foods. He should come back after the remaining toxins in his body were discharged through the circulatory system.

As for how to deal with this traitor, Chen Cheng did not elaborate. He believed that Huidun would have a good solution.

Chen Cheng left the house, but the carriage that brought him there had not yet left.

Seeing this, he went up to ask the groom if he had eaten.

The groom told him that the steward of the Earl's Mansion had already sent food and that the food had been eaten, and that the horse had been taken away for care.

"By the way, sir, the documents in the carriage have just been taken away by my master. He asked me to tell you."

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said:

"That's perfect. I don't have to make another trip to deliver it to him."

Then he said to the driver:

"You can drive back now. It's only a few steps away. I just had a meal, so it's a good time to walk to digest the food."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng took out a fifty-silver voucher from his space bag and handed it to him, saying:

"You accompanied me here today and missed a day's work. This money is your compensation."

What Chen Cheng gave was not much, but it was just within the acceptable range of the groom.

If he had given a few gold coins directly, the groom would definitely not dare to accept such a large sum of money.

This is the thinking of the common people. If you give them a part of the money, they will be happy to accept it. However, if you give them a sum of money that seems astronomical to them, they will wonder if there is any conspiracy involved and they will absolutely not dare to accept such a sum of money.

After the driver left, Chen Cheng strolled around the city with his hands behind his back.

Today, due to the rise of various factories outside the city and the establishment of banks and exchanges, merchants from all over the country are flocking to Huidun City.

The variety of goods on the street now was much greater than before. Even if Chen Cheng looked at it from the perspective of the 21st century, the commodity trade here was still prosperous.

Just as Chen Cheng was walking around, there was a commotion on the street.

When he heard it clearly, he realized that the people in the city were celebrating the academy's victory in the competition, and the earl ordered a one-year tax reduction.

Chen Cheng looked at the smiles on the faces of these ordinary people, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

However, Chen Cheng did not notice that less than two stalls away from him, Mocha, who had come here to assassinate him, was eating here with a group of workers.

Mocha is a bit unlucky.

As a platinum-level killer, killing a student should be a piece of cake for him.

But who can blame Chen Cheng for being so evil? As an orphan of the empire, he has too many treasures on him, and the fatal blow he used actually had no effect.

This failure doesn't matter, since the mission briefing said the most important thing is to investigate his identity, not assassinate him.

But unfortunately, Huidun City had increased patrols in the city and even instituted identity verification due to the security issues caused by illegal immigrants.

And he was arrested as a stowaway in such a gorgeous way.

Afterwards, he was given some arrangements by the governor of Huidun City, and now he has become a glorious plasterer building the new Huidun City.

The workers around him would never have thought that the boy who usually worked with them in plastering and building walls would be a platinum-level master.

Most of the people working on the construction site are illegal immigrants. They can get high wages here, so the 996 working week is really a blessing for them.

So Mocha couldn't find time to leave the construction site and escape.

Today we are celebrating the college students winning the competition, so the local foreman has to give them a day off.

Many people are still very unconvinced, thinking that working one day less means earning one day less in wages.

In the end, they only gave up after the foreman persuaded them to give them a paid vacation.

To be honest, with their enthusiasm for work, they are destined to be workers in the eyes of their bosses in the 21st century.

Originally, Mocha wanted to run away during the holiday, but he hesitated before leaving.

This month or so of cleaning time can be said to be the happiest days of his life.

Although he is a mage, he has reached the platinum level, so his physique is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people, so this dust-clearing job is a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, compared with his experience of being trained as a killer when he was young, the hard work and fatigue of clearing dust was simply heaven.

Here he not only made friends with a group of fellow workers, but also, during the first few days when he was not used to the environment, these workers, considering that they were also illegal immigrants, spared no effort to help him adapt to the environment.

It can be said that this is the killer's comfort zone.

However, just because of this slight hesitation, he was caught by his fellow workers and forcibly dragged into the city.

But it was too late to regret now, and he couldn't bring himself to kill the co-worker who was like his own brother.

Time returns to the present.

Mocha didn't expect that he would see the target of his mission at this meal stall.

The worker opposite him kept looking in the same direction. He looked back in the direction of his gaze and saw Chen Cheng in school uniform.

The worker then waved his hand in front of him, and then laughed and said:

"Why do you envy these students? Do you want to go to school too?

But to be honest, it's a bit late for you to go to Huidun College at your age, but you can still go to that New School College.

And I heard that if you learn the knowledge taught there, the factory owners will spend a lot of money to hire you to work in the factory after you graduate.

That’s easier than working like us, and you can earn more money.”

At this time, Mocha came back to his senses, and secretly reminded himself in his heart, how could he forget the rules of a killer and stare at the target person for so long.

Then he heard what his co-worker said, and he just said awkwardly:

"Forget it, I still have to work."

However, the worker in front of him started to think about it, and then he slapped his thigh and said:

"Brother, I am so lucky to have a brother like you. No matter what, I will send you to the new school in the second half of the year. You are still young, you can't just work hard like your brother for the rest of your life.

You are someone who is going to do great things.

When you have learned it, you will be the guest of honor of those bosses and can be a manager. Then I, your brother, can also take advantage of you."

"It's settled. I'll cover your tuition and living expenses for the next few years. All you have to do is study hard."
