nMonn was also worried about money in his room, just like Little Alma.
n
n
nAt this moment, he was sitting in front of his desk. A book that recorded his daily income and expenses was opened.
n
n
n
n
n Tuesday, April 12th: 6 shillings to buy vegetables, 5 shillings to Alma’s allowance.
n
n
n Wednesday, April 13th: 7 shillings to buy vegetables, 5 shillings to Alma’s allowance.
n
n
n Thursday, April 14th: 6 shillings for groceries, 5 shillings for Alma’s allowance.
n
n
nIt was Friday, Monn wrote seriously in the notebook.
n
n
n
n
n Friday, April 15th: 10 shillings for Alma’s allowance.
n
n
nAfter writing, Monn wrote down the total amount of money he had saved at the end of the notebook.
n
n
nA total of 1,346 pounds and 7 shillings!
n
n
nThat was all the money Monn had saved over the past two years.
n
n
n
n
n‘This amount of money is enough for Alma to attend grammar school for a year…’
n
n
nMonn was a little distressed upon looking at the numbers.
n
n
n‘Should I go and hunt some bloodsuckers and werewolves? That should be the fastest way to get money.’
n
n
nNow, Monn was not like he was when he first transmigrated.
n
n
nHe didn’t have any ability at that time, even if he wanted to hunt dark creatures.
n
n
nBut now, he had broken through to the Holy Rank!
n
n
n
n
nThe Holy Rank was the peak that mortals could reach on this continent!
n
n
nHe could activate the divine blood in his body if he went any higher!
n
n
nWith Monn’s current Advanced Stage Holy Rank Ability, as long as he didn’t court death and provoke a True God like the pope.
n
n
nThen he was almost invincible!
n
n
nHe would have no problem hunting some bloodsuckers and werewolves.
n
n
nBut…
n
n
nWhy were these dark creatures only active in the middle of the night?
n
n
nMonn had become accustomed to a nine-to-five life in the past two years.
n
n
n
n
nEven his daily routines were almost regular!
n
n
nHe went to bed at 9:30 pm and got up at 6:30 am to fish for an hour on the banks of the Gaya River.
n
n
nMost of the time, he came back empty-handed.
n
n
nBut Monn was never tired of it!
n
n
nHe returned home at 7:30 am. Then he made breakfast for Little Alma and sent her to school at 8:30 am.
n
n
nHe would then walk from Alma’s school to work at the church.
n
n
nIt would be 9 a.m. Just in time!
n
n
nSuch schedule was rationally designed by Monn according to the Clock-In and Out 9-to-5 from Work System.
n
n
nHe had to clock in at the church, or there would be no reward!
n
n
nTherefore, Monn had spent every day like this for the past two years!
n
n
nThat had caused him to develop almost unchangeable time oppression!
n
n
nCoincidentally, whether it was werewolves or vampires.
n
n
nThese dark creatures were active at night!
n
n
n
n
nUnless he knew their lair.
n
n
nOtherwise, it would be too difficult to find them during the day!
n
n
nNow, he had to break his routine and habits for the gold pounds.
n
n
nMonn had goosebumps whenever he thought about it!
n
n
nNo, he absolutely couldn’t work overtime!
n
n
nMonn closed his notebook and thought in his heart!
n
n
nNow, he hoped that some fearless werewolves or vampires would come knocking on his door during the day.
n
n
nIn his eyes, these dark creatures were all walking gold pounds!
n
n
nMonn suddenly remembered when he laid on the bed.
n
n
nHe had punched in his card and signed into the second-anniversary reward.
n
n
nIn addition to the increase in strength and two spells, there was also a chance to draw a lottery!
n
n
nThere were still more than ten minutes before it was time to sleep. Monn directly received the lottery chance in his mind!
n
n
n Drawing the lottery, please wait!
n
n
n Congratulations, you have received a box of exquisite fish food!
n
n
nThe corner of Monn’s mouth twitched wildly, and he had the urge to curse!
n
n
nIt was such an inexplicable reward again!
n
n
nMonn had drawn this kind of inexplicable things from the weekly, monthly, and anniversary lucky draw for the past few times!
n
n
nThe first time, it was a pair of socks that would never stink!
n
n
nThe second time, it was a pot of cactus!
n
n
nMonn had never poured water on that pot of cactus, and it was still on his desk!
n
n
nThe third time was even more ridiculous. It was a box of toothpicks!
n
n
nThe other rewards given by the system were almost all good things that would greatly increase one’s strength!
n
n
nOnly the lucky draw made Monn speechless!
n
n
nThis time, it was a box of “exquisite fish food”!
n
n
nHow exquisite could the fish food be
n
n
nMonn decided to try out how exquisite this box of exquisite fish food was since he was taking Little Alma for fishing the next morning!
n
n
nHe picked up the pocket watch, and it was already 9:30 am.
n
n
nA strong feeling of drowsiness hit him almost instantly!
n
n
nThat was the power of the biological clock!
n
n
nMonn closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
n
n
n…
n
n
nThe next morning.
n
n
nThe pocket watch pointed to a quarter past six!
n
n
nMonn opened his eyes.
n
n
nThe sky was turning bright outside.
n
n
nHe yawned, put on his clothes, and washed up.
n
n
nMonn was completely awake!
n
n
nHe didn’t have to take Little Alma to school today, so it was alright for them to go fishing a little later.
n
n
nMonn gently pushed the door of Alma’s room open.
n
n
nAlma was sleeping quietly on the small bed.
n
n
nMonn’s face softened a little as he looked at Alma’s chubby little face.
n
n
nThen, he gently closed the door and tiptoed downstairs.
n
n
nMonn cooked the same old three dishes in the kitchen!
n
n
nBeef soup, toast, boiled vegetables!
n
n
nUsually, Monn would cook a fresh fish soup for Alma if he could catch a fish.
n
n
nBut Monn’s fishing skills…
n
n
nIt could only be said that the fish were more cunning than him!
n
n
nIt was already around seven o’clock after he finished cooking.
n
n
nMonn saw a small figure walking down the stairs before he went upstairs to call Alma.
n
n
n“Father Monn.”
n
n
nLittle Alma rubbed her eyes, looking very sleepy.
n
n
nBut even though she was very sleepy, she still got up early.
n
n
nBecause she had promised Father Monn!
n
n
nA trace of gentleness appeared in Monn’s eyes.
n
n
n“You’re up? Go wash up and eat breakfast!”
n
n
n“Hm!”
n
n
nThe little girl nodded in a daze.
n
n
nThen, she went to the bathroom to wash up as if she was sleepwalking. Monn was both amused and touched upon seeing that!
n
n
nThe father and daughter did not take long to eat.
n
n
nMonn tidied up the kitchen and took out the fishing rod that he had used for more than two years after eating.
n
n
n“Let’s go fishing!”
n
n
n“I promise you that I will not return empty-handed today! At least… two fish!”
n
n
n“Tch! Father Monn is bragging again! You said the same thing last time!”
n
n
nLittle Alma wrinkled her nose. She did not trust Monn’s fishing ability!
n
n
nMonn was annoyed, but it seemed like what the little girl said was the truth!
n
n
n“Papa will make a bet with you since you don’t believe me!”
n
n
n“You’ll have to learn how to make fish soup from me if I can fish out two fish!”
n
n
n“Okay! What if Father Monn can’t catch them?”
n
n
n“Well… pocket money plus 10 shillings!”
n
n
n“Deal!”
n
n
nLittle Alma smiled so hard that her eyes squinted!
n
n
nMonn was also smiling. Then he held the fishing rod, the bucket, and the two stools in one hand and held Little Alma’s hand with the other.
n
n
nThey slowly walked to the bank of the Gaya River.
n
n
nThe Gaya River was a freshwater river that crossed the Kingdom of Kate.
n
n
nIt was also known as the mother river.
n
n
nThe place where Monn was going to fish was the shallower part of the Gaya River.
n
n
nMany migratory salmons and trouts stop at this part of the river in April.
n
n
nSo that was the best time to catch big, fresh salmons and trouts!
