Chapter 12 I Can’t Afford It. I Can’t Afford It at All!

"Speaking frankly will always bring the best results?"

Jiang Chen whispered softly, and his eyes changed slightly when he looked at Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang usually looked careless, more like a nouveau riche than a journalist, but he could not have said such a philosophical thing.

"Hahaha... I can't say such a thing. This is what our editor-in-chief said, and it is also the life motto of all of us at Polaris."

Manager Zhang laughed, with an indescribable pride on his face.

"So that's it."

Jiang Chen understood what he said. He certainly knew the style of Polaris, but he did not expect that they could still maintain their usual style of doing things in the face of Zhengxin Dojo, a force backed by the Xiao Group.

Now it seems that they were influenced by this editor-in-chief.

Facing the four major groups, he can still maintain his original intention and lead others to do the same. This editor-in-chief is really not simple.

Zhang Fugui patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that Editor-in-Chief Li is not in Lingyin City recently, otherwise I would have recommended you to the editor-in-chief. Maybe after talking to him, you don't even want to read books and want to join Polaris directly."

"If there is a chance, I really want to meet this editor-in-chief."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said what he really thought, and Director Zhang also showed a satisfied smile.

When the editor-in-chief comes back, he will definitely be able to trick this kid in.

"By the way, there will be a filming task in a few days. Do you want to take it? Although the remuneration cannot be compared with this time, it is not small."

"No, I will start school in two days. I need to make some preparations. Thank you, Director Zhang."

Jiang Chen shook his head and refused. The remuneration this time was quite generous. He didn't have to worry about living expenses for the time being. While there were still two days, he had to study the life skill of making money.

"I almost forgot about this. Our top scholar gave up the invitation of the top prestigious school and chose to stay in the university in his hometown. This matter caused quite a stir at the time."

Manager Zhang smiled and said, "In this case, I will try to leave you some weekend tasks in the future. If you are interested, come over."

"Thank you for your trouble."

Jiang Chen bowed solemnly. No matter what the purpose was, Manager Zhang really took care of him.

At least he was more reliable than his parents who he had never met or even seen photos of.

"It's not a trouble. On the contrary, I made a lot of money."

Manager Zhang patted his round belly and said, "There are a lot of things needed for school registration. Hurry up and prepare them. If you need any help, you can come to me at any time."

"Okay, goodbye, Manager Zhang."

...

After leaving the North Star Newspaper, Jiang Chen did not rush home, but went shopping with Fa Cai.

To be precise, he bought various metals.

Jin Mang can absorb gold energy from metals and store it, and then strengthen the attack and defense according to needs.

Since knowing that Golden Mane is a consumable skill, Jiang Chen has tried it with the iron tools at home.

It can indeed absorb gold energy, but the efficiency is very low. Fa Cai can absorb it for a day and a night, but it is not enough for him to dodge.

Fa Cai's own energy can also be used, but the effect is a little worse and the consumption is greater.

The effect of fruit tree gold coins is naturally the best, but it requires life cores. With Jiang Chen's current financial resources, he can't afford it, so he can only look for other substitutes.

If a metal with a high cost-effectiveness can be found, Fa Cai's life skill can be used as a regular skill.

"Fa Cai, which of these metals has the highest absorption rate?"

Jiang Chen noted the time Fa Cai spent absorbing different metals, and then took out a row of photos and asked.

Da Da...

Fa Cai pointed to one of them and yawned, obviously not in high spirits.

Although both can absorb gold energy, they cannot compare with fruit tree gold coins in terms of quality and quantity. If Jiang Chen hadn't insisted, it would not want to choose any of them.

But even so, after seeing the metal chosen by Fa Cai, Jiang Chen's heart couldn't help but ache.

Gold.

The most expensive metal he bought, gold!

If he had chosen other metals, it would be fine, he could barely afford it.

But this gold is different, just that small golden bean, he had spent all the 1,000 federal coins he had just received.

In comparison, it would be better to buy the life core directly, at least the fruit tree gold coins produced can strengthen the basic attributes of Fa Cai.

However, the price of this life core is not much better...

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it at all!"

Thinking of having to support such a costly skill in the future, Jiang Chen despised his life experience for the first time.

At the beginning, he only thought that it would be difficult for an orphan to expose his identity as a traverser, and he was glad for it. Now thinking about it, he was too young.

A penny can make a hero fall!

With this thought in mind, Jiang Chen grabbed Fa Cai with a solemn expression.

"From today on, you are not allowed to eat the gold coins you grow without my permission."

Da Da?

Fa Cai felt aggrieved, his eyes full of tears.

It's not Shushu's fault that he can't make money, so why should Shushu bear the consequences?

"Don't act like that, this is a serious matter."

Jiang Chen ignored Fa Cai's pitiful look, and said with a straight face:

"The way to use the golden light also needs to be adjusted. It was too wasteful before."

"Yesterday you concentrated the remaining golden light on the flesh wings to attack, right? From today on, you will practice this skill for me and try to reduce the consumption of golden light to the minimum."

Da Da...

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Fa Cai suddenly showed a look of despair, his eyes were extremely empty, and it seemed that his spirit had dissipated.

Changed, Shu Shu's control changed...

Seeing Fa Cai's pitiful look, Jiang Chen could no longer maintain his serious look. After thinking about it, he immediately changed his tone.

"Gold is too expensive. Even if I, your master, go bankrupt, it won't be enough for you to eat for a few days. When I starve to death, you won't be able to eat gold coins."

"It will be a bit hard in the early stage, but when you practice the proficiency of golden light and improve your combat effectiveness, we can go to the wild to hunt evil spirits."

"By then, won't you still have as many life cores as you want?"

Russ~

Hearing this, Fa Cai's little ears suddenly stood up, and his big eyes also regained some luster.

Da Da?

Fa Cai stood up and gestured to Jiang Chen for a while, and Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly, saying: "No problem, as long as it is the life core you got, you can eat the gold coins you grow, I won't interfere."

Da Da!

After getting Jiang Chen's promise, Fa Cai's eyes suddenly flashed with a fascinating golden light, and his whole body's momentum also surged.

Looking at this, Jiang Chen has every reason to believe that if Fa Cai and an evil spirit are locked together now, the first one to take action will definitely be Fa Cai!

"Very good, then let's start with the most basic practice and concentrate the golden light on the claws, not the entire claws, but the tips of the claws..."
