Chapter 171 The Silver Princess and the Others Begin Their Struggle

After learning the harsh truth and reality, some people will become discouraged and give up, while others will strive forward and fight with all their might.

Although the vast majority of them are "unbeatable even with all our efforts".

Baiyin Guonongzhuang Co., Ltd. has begun construction in full swing.

The little princess seemed to have regained her enthusiasm. Xue Lude didn't know how they had obtained the contracting procedures and documents so quickly. After spending more than ten million, they indeed won the contracting rights to that mountain.

The other knights seemed unaware of the truth, and they all began to join this lifelong dream of restoring their kingdom, seemingly prepared to immediately sacrifice their hearts for the dream of restoring the Silver Kingdom. Therefore, only the world where Old Watson was injured was achieved.

But the next time Xue Law met Watson, he found that Watson had also regained his energy as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and was constantly calming the cement and stones on the ground in front of the cement road being built.

Although this behavior seemed like that of a madman to the people of Earth, Xue's Law actually saw the cement and stones on the ground begin to solidify more firmly...

Even with Xue's Law of Fantasy Manifestation, seeing this scene still makes it hard to understand the principles of fairy tale magic. Has their magic always been this bizarre?

……

On this day, when Xue Dinglu was on his way to school, he suddenly saw a small stall that had appeared across from the University of Science and Technology of China. The stall had a sign that read "Special Hand-Pulled Pancakes, Vegetable and Fruit Salads, and Bread" and was doing brisk business.

There are designated areas for street vendors near the school. The management fees here are generally not cheap, but because of the large flow of people and the supervision, business is always good.

Today wasn't 8 AM, so Xue Dinglu wasn't in a hurry to go to the classroom. Instead, he planned to buy breakfast. He even saw a lot of security guards queuing up in front of the stall.

"Hey, grandpa, you're here to buy some hand-pulled pancakes?" Xue Dinglu started chatting with him.

"Little Xue? Let me tell you, this new stall is absolutely amazing. You've seen 'Cooking Master Boy,' right? I think the pancakes are just like those in the anime, they make a 'Duang' feeling when you eat them." The old man seemed quite trendy, rattling off a bunch of old jokes that Xue Law would only realize after a moment's thought.

"Is it really that delicious? It's just a scallion pancake and bread."

"Hey, grandpa, when have I ever lied to you? The owner of that scallion pancake stall is a foreigner, and his pancakes are absolutely amazing. I didn't just buy one for myself; Old Wang and Old Zhang from the security office, and even the captain, all asked me to bring them two back." The old man patted his chest and said confidently.

Foreigners? Can foreigners make this kind of snack well?
Seeing how confident the old man was, Xue Dinglu also tried queuing up.

Holding a loaf of bread made from his political theory textbook, he hadn't eaten a proper meal much lately, getting used to copying various textbooks and turning them into bread to eat.

In this way, it feels like you're absorbing knowledge.

However, it was really hard to eat.

Ideological and Moral Cultivation is bitter and astringent, Marxist Philosophy is astringent and bitter, and Clinical Medicine has an even more nauseating medicinal taste.

The ability to materialize fantasy is quite mysterious. For example, he might imagine conjuring up "the most delicious food in the world," but what he actually produces is a simple home-cooked meal of two dishes and a soup. After eating it, Xue Dinglu felt that it tasted almost exactly the same as the food he cooked himself.

Using that thing also requires imagination; he couldn't imagine how delicious the most delicious food really was, so this was the only possible outcome.

Therefore, it's important to have a sense of ritual when eating.

Soon it was Xue Dinglu's turn to join the queue. However, when he was chewing on the bitter "Ma Yuan bread" and looking at the owner of the hand-pulled pancake stall, he was stunned for a moment.

The two people busy at the scallion pancake stall really fit the stereotypical image of "foreigners." One of them is a beautiful blonde with blue eyes, but the muscles on her exposed forearms are very obvious when she exerts force.

Another woman, with silver hair and vertical pupils, looked like a twin sister. She was grilling bread and pancakes with lightning speed using a shovel, and then making hand-pulled pancakes and salads.

The problem isn't that they're foreign beauties, but that Xue Dinglu knows them—they're the two female knights from the Silver Kingdom's knight squad!
He remembered that the blonde female knight was named Ophina, and the silver-haired female knight was named Ophini. Both of them were probably near-Tier 3. At that time, they had joined forces to try to attack Xue Lude, but they were slapped to their knees by Xue Lude's holy light palm.

Because she was beaten so badly, and the blonde female knight kept stubbornly saying things like "at worst, we'll pay tribute to the suzerain state and form a marriage alliance," Xue Dinglu almost beat her to death on the spot.

No, why don't you build a farm instead of selling hand-grabbed biscuits here?

Upon seeing Xue's Law, the two busy female knights were momentarily stunned, then exclaimed joyfully, "God..."

"Shh!" Xue Luding immediately cast a silencing spell on them separately.

They realized there were many people around, then calmed down and said quietly, "Oh, you're here too? Have you had breakfast yet? We'll make you one."

Xue Law: "..."

Such a genuine Jiangcheng way of greeting people. Even without looking at their faces, it's as if a fellow Jiangcheng native is greeting you.

And this technique for making hand-pulled pancakes, could it be that you learned it while you were in detention?

Do detention centers even have people like this?

Before Xue Daolu could even refuse, they deftly began baking the pancakes, adding eggs, vegetables, and all the necessary ingredients, and a steaming hot hand-pulled pancake was handed to him—for free. Looking at the pancake in his hand, Xue Daolu hesitated, but couldn't resist asking out of curiosity, "Why aren't you repairing the farm? Why are you setting up a stall here?"

He couldn't fathom what kind of extraordinary wisdom could have come up with the idea of ​​the people of the Silver Kingdom selling hand-pulled pancakes.

"Well, to be honest, we're starting to run out of funds. The princess doesn't want to 'borrow' money, so the knight captain has decided to do the work of ten people, and the rest of us have been sent out to earn money to fill the funding gap." The female knight spoke softly to Xue Dinglu in their language.

Xue Law: "..."

Did you really spend all your 30-plus kilograms of gold and nearly 100 kilograms of silver so quickly? It seems civil engineering really is a money pit. Xue Dinglu calculated that after they contracted that mountain, they should have had several million left. How come they've spent it all in just a few days?
"Yes, we've spent most of it, so we started supplementing our household income. My sister and I set up a stall here, and we can earn several thousand a day, sometimes even tens of thousands if business is good. Most importantly, don't tell anyone, our cakes and bread are made with 'bread magic,' and the vegetables are ripened by the old mage. Apart from the meat, the cost is basically zero. In a few days, when the breeding program starts, the meat will also be zero cost." The blonde female knight revealed in a low voice.

Xue Law: "..."

You guys are really quite honest.

And this is true. Actually, whether it's bread made with artificial techniques or vegetables grown with artificial growth methods, your products are already much healthier than 99% of the stalls on the market.

But it's only been a few days, and that old mage is already mass-producing bread and vegetables? That's incredibly efficient!

Xue had so much to complain about, but watching the two of them continue to work, their spatulas and pancakes flying around like a dance, and judging from the long queue, their business was really good.

It might be because of his looks, his foreign appearance, and...

Xue Dinglu took a bite of the pancake and his eyes lit up instantly.

At that moment, he truly felt as if he had returned to a fairy tale world. The beautiful and dreamy taste immediately took over his taste buds. The extremely fresh vegetables and pancakes bloomed in his mouth, giving him the feeling that the vegetable fairies in the fairy tale world were creating a heavenly thunder on his tongue.

Is Old Watson's bread-making and plant-growing skills really that high? Why are you trying to be a court magician? Go be a druid! Being a court mage is a waste of your talent in food.

Xue looked at their price list; the average price was over 10 yuan, and many were over 20 yuan. This was considered expensive for a small stall selling hand-pulled pancakes, but customers still flocked to the stall. Clearly, this unique and delicious taste had won over countless students at USTC.

Will there be any outrageous things like "the first hand-pulled pancake of autumn" when confessing your love at USTC in the future?

There were also many young male chefs, probably queuing up just to see the foreign ladies.
However, it's a bit exaggerated that the two of them earn tens of thousands a day. It's probably because they have zero costs, which is why their profits are so high. Also, their near-level 3 physical fitness is really top-notch, allowing them to make any number of pancakes instantly.

After finishing his pancake in a few bites, Xue Dinglu asked, "How do the rest of you make money? Let me make it clear first, don't do anything illegal!"

“No, we memorized the laws of the suzerain state while we were in detention. Some people started raising livestock, others set up stalls to sell milk tea, and still others did live streams, sang for money, or even worked on construction sites carrying bricks.” After she finished explaining how the other little knights made money, Xue Dinglu couldn’t hold back anymore.

You've only been in Longchang for a few days, and you've already learned how to do live streaming?

Just as Xue was about to complain, he heard the blonde, blue-eyed female knight happily say in fluent Mandarin, "Thank you, boss 'I am Ophina's dog,' for the ten rockets! How much bread or biscuits would you like? We'll make them for you right away."

Xue Law: "..."

Girls, you're already livestreaming? Looks like your looks have already hooked countless rich guys. Are you really selling bread and cakes on livestream? You're shipping that many loaves of bread and cakes for every donation?
That's true. Bread and biscuits are indeed a risk-free business for them. They can just have old Watson work as a slave to produce them indefinitely.

No wonder he can earn tens of thousands a day...

Xue Lu looked at the comments in the live stream and, as expected, they were all sycophants. Another person named "I am Little Sister Ophini's Dog" gave him ten rockets, saying that he wanted the silver-haired Ophini to draw a heart on the pancake, saying that just making a heart shape would be fine.

The silver-haired female knight, who was not good with words, made a heart shape with her hands at the camera with a blank expression, which made the barrage of comments even more excited, and another wave of donations followed.

Xue Law: "..."

Looking at the female knights working hard to earn money, he didn't say much. After all, they didn't steal, rob, or cheat; they earned their wealth through honorable labor. Xue Luding felt that he should encourage them for this.

In just a few days, they had all transformed from feudal serf-owning knights who constantly spouted "tribute," "marriage alliance," and "reparations" into working people with pancakes and sauces flying in their hands. Xue Dinglu even felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

It seems their study of Marxism and Marxism in the detention center wasn't in vain; a good world really can turn ghosts into humans.

Having gotten another free pancake, Xue Lude headed to school, and he even felt that the world was a little better.

Just as he was eating the pancake, the countdown in his consciousness space reached zero, and a man wearing a monocle, with a small mustache, and looking like an old European gentleman appeared in his consciousness space.

He bowed directly to the sky and said very politely, "I am Austin Ormsphia, the leader of the Astrological School and the current head of the Astrological School. I have come to your esteemed place by chance. Please forgive me."

"And, it seems I died in a war... Do you know how to get to Boston?" the old gentleman said politely.

But at that moment, Xue's pupils constricted, because he hadn't misheard. The old gentleman was speaking "English," and it was indeed the place name "Boston," not the translation module's translation.

In other words, he is from Earth?
