Who told him to make the cards!

Page 43

It took me several days to realize what was going on.

The old miners often said that they were uneducated.

In reality, this culture is not the culture he thought it was.

They are literate, can write, follow rules, and are considerate.

The only thing I don't understand is the card.

In this world, not understanding cards is a sign of being uncultured.

After reading the letter written by Lao Zhou, Zhou Keke was stunned.

He really is my dad.

Was the person in the bathroom really my uncle who came back from the mining area?

A tear that had been welling up in Zhou Keke's eyes finally slid down her cheek.

This is the only action she has taken since entering the room that hasn't been in vain.

Lin Yu hugged her daughter, laughing at her sillyness while her eyes welled up with tears again.

She missed Lao Zhou terribly.

I can't help but admire Lao Zhou's handwriting.

For so many years, Lao Zhou has been completely out of touch with them. The only connection they have is that Lao Zhou sends money home every now and then.

I can't see anyone, and I can't receive any letters.

She once thought that Lao Zhou had died in the mine.

The money was Lao Zhou's compensation payment, and the person who made the payment was Lao Zhou's friend.

It wasn't until Chen Zhi appeared today that Lin Yu learned that Old Zhou had always been thinking about her and her daughter, but all the letters had been suppressed by the steward and couldn't be delivered.

Now things are much better. The Blackstone mining area has been separated from the company and taken over by the Vatican. From now on, she and her daughter can visit Old Zhou anytime.

"Knock knock knock."

Just as the mother and daughter were happily shedding tears, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

A muffled sound came from inside.

"that."

"Excuse me..."

"Have you put the knife down?"

Zhou Keke: "..."

Lin Yu glanced at her daughter teasingly and said with a smile, "It's alright, Xiao Chen, come out. It's all a misunderstanding."

Chen Zhi then opened the door.

He was wearing a brand new bathrobe, his hair still dripping wet, as he hadn't had time to blow-dry it.

Chen Zhi just arrived in the city today.

Originally, I wanted to deliver the letter, so I first found a hotel or inn to stay in.

But upon checking, they were all ridiculously expensive.

Even in the old town, the cheapest hotels cost 200 taels a night.

"Tower" is the online name for "Copper Horn".

Upon arriving in Tianheng Capital, Chen Zhi realized that the world also had a network.

It consists of a giant card library and thousands of card array base stations, and is called "Qingshi.com".

After entering the city, you can exchange cash for digital currency at various outlets; 1 copper coin = 1 tower.

If you do not have a corresponding city residency, an additional processing fee of 7%-12% will be charged.

Thanks to a certain holy lady, he is now a resident of the capital and doesn't have to pay this unnecessary money.

Even so, he was still desperately poor.

Even with the old servant's generous tip, Chen Zhi had only saved up 11454 towers over three or four years.

Even without eating or drinking, one can only stay for a little over a month.

It was as if the mining area and the city were in different dimensions.

Different currencies lead to vastly different prices.

Is the economic system of the Holy Order Empire really something a human could create?

Chen Zhizhen simply couldn't afford it.

In addition, Old Zhou's wife was a very kind person. When she learned that he was new to the area and didn't know anything, she warmly invited him to stay for a few nights.

Get used to the air in Beijing first, and it's not too late to rent a place once you're more familiar with city life.

She also wanted to fulfill her duty as a host and thank him for taking care of Lao Zhou over the years.

The last half of the sentence was said casually by Lin Yu, with the aim of keeping Chen Zhi here.

After all, Chen Zhi looks young, so it's hard to say who will take care of whom.

But upon hearing this, Chen Zhi felt at ease.

In recent years, he has indeed taken good care of Lao Zhou.

Putting everything else aside, Lao Zhou owes him a huge debt just for the card replacement fee.

So Chen Zhi went to Lao Zhou's house as a friend.

The first thing he did was take a shower.

But unexpectedly, halfway through washing, Old Zhou's daughter returned and tried to attack him with a knife.

She seems to be a fierce girl.

At this moment, Tiger Girl, with her head down and her long hair falling to her forehead, walked out of the bedroom like Sadako and approached Chen Zhi step by step.

"sorry!"

Zhou Keke said as loudly as she could.

Through the gaps in her hair, you could see that the girl's neck and the base of her ears were red, and her face was probably even hotter.

Chen Zhi smiled.

"fine."

"I am Chen Zhi, sorry to bother you."

With her head down, Zhou Keke saw a slender hand reach out in front of her.

That's a beautiful hand. Is he a card maker?

Are there card makers in mining areas?

Zhou Keke tends to overthink when she's nervous.

The thought of how silly she looked holding the kitchen knife made her face turn even redder.

But she still mustered up the courage to reach out and shake hands with Chen Zhi.

"Hello, Uncle Chen."

Then he raised his head.

Eyes facing each other.

Chen Zhi was taken aback.

The girl in front of me was unexpectedly lively and well-behaved, with deer-like eyes, a delicate nose, and thin lips like cherry blossoms. She hadn't grown up to be anything but beautiful; in fact, she was even more beautiful than when she was a child.

It's so tiny, it doesn't fit the description of "Tiger Girl" at all.

Zhou Keke was also stunned.

The dirty, worn-out shoes in the entryway gave her a preconceived notion that the person coming in was probably a homeless person.

Mom said it was an uncle, which means the other person is also quite old, probably around the same age as her father.

Then I looked up and...

Zhou Keke's heart, which had been racing due to nervousness, suddenly became unresponsive.

Because her heart skipped a beat.

Chen Zhi's face was reflected in her dark, bright eyes.

Surprisingly young.

Surprisingly good.

Clean-cut and handsome.

Especially those eyes, so clear they were like a pool of black spring.
