Learning Like You

What the Baldy guy said about his wife when he was pretending to be a doctor was all nonsense, and what he's saying now is probably the same.

"I can help you solve this problem, but I'll need some payment." Su Luo took a sip of the tea the restaurant had given her.

The Baldy immediately said, "I have no money."

"If I had money, I wouldn't have been solo-killed by Black Cat."

"It's okay, you can be my dog." Su Luo didn't seem to care much.

"Okay," the Baldy finally agreed.

"But can you do it? My mother is Demigod, and she has been enlightened for many years..."

"Let's give it a try."

Su Luo tossed him a Career Panel.

The Career Panel itself stores a wealth of knowledge and information.

"I watch porn, especially mother-and-child films."

"Please, please don't play it out loud anymore, I'm begging you."

Shang Yang pleaded desperately with the Baldy.

"I've seen the mental hospital's van loitering around nearby. If you keep playing this out loud, we'll really get arrested..."

The Baldy remained unmoved, simply letting his composure shine through.

"Oedipus complex isn't a mental illness; it's just a niche yet widespread fetish. They have no reason to arrest me."

"Strong people don't care about other people's opinions. Look at how the Scholars didn't stop me from being sent out to work."

"Hmm? Where are the Scholars?"

The Baldy searched around but couldn't find the Scholar.

Su Luo had already left the two of them and went to the street to buy some daily necessities and a long robe, spending a total of more than three thousand.

Although hospital gowns are quite comfortable to wear, getting too many stares isn't a good thing in this world.

"Next, we need to make some money and then try to get into [Adrian Academy]. Baldy's situation is difficult, but Shang Yang's is a bit easier..."

Su Luo spent another four thousand yuan to buy a mobile phone and looked up some information online.

In [Adrian], which is an artificial world, most basic resources can be considered "infinite".

For example, the rare and precious herbs that Su Luo just ate, and the clothes she bought—these resources were taken from the ground and used like dirt.

With sufficiently high productivity and technological support, the social forms of advanced civilizations are truly remarkable.

These resource and processing jobs are generally offered to locals and [Adrian Academy].

For Otherworlder wanting to earn currency in [Adrian], the jobs available generally include errand running, basic maintenance, companionship/caregiving, brokerage/madam work, handicrafts, and on-site odd jobs...

Most of them are serving others.

Su Luo did some more research, trying to see what else she could do to make money.

"Indeed, there are research grants and technology dividends. This is the most profitable industry Otherworlder [Otherworlder] in [Adrian], accounting for 95% of their income."

Su Luo seemed to be deep in thought.

"But what's even more interesting is that one percent of Otherworlder account for ninety-nine percent of the economic gains of Otherworlder."

Academics and scientific research are the mainstream for [Adrian].

However, the prerequisite for this path is to first be registered at [Adrian Academy] and have the qualifications to apply for research grants.

In other words, Su Luo needs to earn enough start-up capital in [Adrian] first.

According to the Limit Breaker information available online, it would take an outsider about two to three months to earn enough wealth to enroll in Adrian, not including other necessary expenses.

Even a hero can be brought down by a penny, but a hero can be brought down by two pennies.

Resources are unlimited, so the poor will not starve; opportunities are monopolized, so ordinary people cannot become rich.

What a bizarre world! No wonder locals look down on outsiders; it turns out it's their natural economic advantage.

"Couldn't all the other beings who come to [Adrian] to study be out there making money, right?"

Su Luo was so eager to study that he really didn't have time to work and earn money, so he could only try to find some crooked and unorthodox methods.

But strength is really useless in this world. Even Demigod can't make a fuss, let alone Su Luo, who is a rare species of Fallen God.

After buying her things, Su Luo went back to the restaurant and found the Baldy and Shang Yang seriously tasting their food.

Ignoring the Baldy who was engrossed in watching, Su Luo pulled Shang Yang aside.

"You said you're going to work next, is it to work in a research group in your college?"

Shang Yang frowned, as if Su Luo had touched a nerve with him.

"What are you dreaming of? I've been expelled! From now on, I'm no different from New Life; I'll have to work to get back into school!"

"So... what kind of job are you going to do next?" Su Luo pressed.

Shang Yang continued to frown, remaining silent.

"I've already given you the money."

That damn thing was originally mine!

"You stole it, it doesn't belong to you, but by giving it to me, you've transferred the risk to me as well. I'm helping you launder money."

"[Adrian's] money doesn't need washing; it's already dirty..."

Shang Yang sighed helplessly, glanced at the Baldy still casting spells in the distance, casually set up an outer shield, and whispered in a low voice:

"Let me tell you something, but don't tell anyone. If you use this method well, you might be able to earn enough money to enroll in school in a couple of days."

Su Luo listened attentively.

"Post an order online, saying it's a 'risk-free companion service.' If all goes well, you'll get a lot of orders from locals in the background. Just choose the one with the highest amount."

Isn't this just going out to sell yourself?

"I won't sell myself." Su Luo refused immediately.

"I didn't ask you to sell yourself, so you don't need to do anything." Shang Yang rolled his eyes.

"When the couple enters the room, you just sit on the bed and it would be best to record a video of yourself on camera."

"What... what does this mean?" Su Luo didn't understand.

"Oh, this is a historical issue in [Adrian]. One party might later regret it and unilaterally sue the other for infringement. When the authorities encounter this situation, they simply skip the procedures and convict the person outright."

"But if it involves [Otherworlder], then all the checks will be carried out, the entire process will be reviewed, and there will be indefinite delays... In the end, it usually just fizzles out."

"Got it?"

Su Luo's expression was strange. "Isn't there a more respectable way to make money?"

"Isn't this respectable? Then you might as well go out and sell yourself."

After saying that, Shang Yang removed the soundproof cover and went to the Baldy's side to give him a serious critique.

Su Luo walked over and continued to ask:

"By the way, as an academically focused academy, doesn't [Adrian Academy] have any entrance exams or qualification tests? Is it really necessary to pay money for admission?"

Amidst his busy work, the Baldy turned his head and said, "It seems... it seems there's a method for admission through an exam."

"Free?" Su Luo looked at him.

Shang Yang sneered upon hearing this, as if he had heard something unbelievable:

"Free?"

He and the Baldy said in unison, "No money, no money to learn your damn stuff!"
