Chapter 5 The Problem of Survival

This was Chen An's first night in another world, in a quiet night. When the initial confusion gradually stopped occupying the main body of his thinking, various other emotions instantly surged back to the normal thinking trajectory.

Lying on the cold floor, looking at the gray roof in the dark, Chen An's heart became sentimental.

He had no idea why he had traveled through another world for no reason, and at the same time he was unwilling to accept this absurd reality. He missed home, his father and mother, his relatives and friends, and his own warm bed... If his parents found out that they were missing, they would be heartbroken, right? When he thought of this scene, tears couldn't help but burst into tears.

There are many things he doesn't understand, such as why he suddenly learned the language of people from another world? Thinking of this, he remembered that his head had a severe throbbing after talking to Alex. When the pain dissipated, he inexplicably learned the language of the other person.

Could it be—

He reached out to cover his forehead, and a bold assumption emerged, because he thought of the accidental shooting of the pavilion by a meteor fragment.

Could it be that all the changes come from the meteor fragments that hit oneself?

Before there was no conclusive evidence, he had only this far-fetched guess in his mind.

As the saying goes, since he comes, he will not be able to take him in. Alex will not be able to keep himself in, nor will he be shameless and be lying on others. Survival has become his primary concern, but what can he do in a liberal arts student in another world? The most important thing is that he doesn't even know the words of a liberal arts student. If he wants to play the expertise of a liberal arts student, he can't do it. Fortunately, he has taken a course in business administration in college and has a little knowledge of related knowledge, but practical application is completely a paper talk.

He began to formulate his next survival plan. The first step was to find a job to support himself. Secondly, he looked for his position in the process of slowly understanding the world. In terms of work, he could try to ask Alex, a native, to find it. Understanding this world requires systematic learning and cognition. The best way is to find a teacher. However, according to the world similar to the medieval world in front of him, knowledge is often in the hands of a few people. Even if he wants to learn, it will cost a lot of money. This undoubtedly cuts off Chen An's thoughts. After all, he is now a penniless pauper.

As for the awakening ceremony that Alex longed for, it was not Chen An's consideration at all. As a modern person with a materialist worldview, he felt it absurd to agree with the idealist worldview. He did not even intend to approach the temple of any related gods. His own time travel is a big problem, and it is hard to guarantee that the so-called gods will see the problem. If he is treated like a tiny mouse in the end, it would be better to die than to live. To be safe, for the sake of life, he must stay away from the gods!

...

When it was just dawn in the morning, Chen An, who was just a little nervous, could not help but feel a little nervous. So after hearing the movement of Alex getting up, Chen An immediately woke up from his sleep.

"Are you awake too? Are you sleeping comfortably at night?" Alex, who walked out of the bedroom, stretched his waist, and when he saw Chen An, who was also awake on the floor, asked casually.

"It's okay, I just feel a little sore in my body." Chen An said, covering his dizzy head.

"I'm really sorry, after all, there can only be one person in the bed at home..." Alex said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's actually because I took the liberty to bother you." Chen An waved his hand. "Alex, I have a kindly unhappy request and I hope you can help."

"What's the matter?" Alex asked while walking to the water tank and scooping a spoonful of water.

"Do you know where to recruit people to work here in Bella Oka?" Chen An said embarrassedly.

"Work? Yes, but the question is what will you do?" Alex stared at Chen Ando with wide eyes.

"I think about it... are you going to settle the accounts?" Chen An racked his brains and thought for a long time.

"You can settle the accounts?" Alex said in surprise.

"Is it strange to settle accounts?" Chen An said in confusion.

"That's a settlement?! This is the knowledge that only a few people can learn to settle accounts. If those who learn to settle accounts are not well educated, either from the temple of the goddess of business, or as an apprentice of the chamber of commerce accounting, they would not expect you to settle accounts?" Alex said with an exaggerated expression.

"This... seems nothing to be proud of, right?" Chen An said humbly. In their country, all students who have received nine years of compulsory education know more or less the simple principle of accounting. As for those who are more advanced, they may have to systematically learn the knowledge of accounting majors, but it is more than enough to deal with medieval accounting processing.

However, he must first face the biggest problem, how to understand the words and numbers of this world, otherwise he will have to be blind even if he is proficient in accounting knowledge.

"Then I will introduce you to the settlement work. Can you teach me the knowledge of settlement?" Alex said with an expectant look on his face.

"Of course it's okay, but... Alex, do you recognize words? Especially numbers!" Chen An stuttered.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked in confusion.

"Then please teach me the simple numbers you know quickly..." Chen An said anxiously.

"...You really know how to settle the score? You really didn't lie to me, are you?" Alex was stunned after hearing this.

"No, don't worry! I just lost my memory and forgot how to write numbers..."

When Alex taught Chen An to recognize simple numbers half-believingly, the familiar pain in his head came again. Chen An covered his forehead and squatted down in pain, trying his best to control himself and scream without pain, which scared Alex. Unfortunately, Alex was still scared.

"You...why are you doing this again? Could it be that you are really sick, right?" Alex was at a loss when he saw Chen An's abnormality.

"It's okay, I'm fine, just take a break." Chen An gritted his teeth and forced an ugly smile to Alex.

The pain came and went quickly. After a while, Chen An, who was sweating all over, finally returned to his normal expression. He shook his heavy head and felt something inexplicably more in his mind. After he saw Alex writing numbers with stones on the ground, he understood what was going on.

He inexplicably learned the words of this world.

"Okay, let's go out to find a job." Chen An took a deep breath and smiled at the frightened Alex.

"This... are you really okay?" Alex couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, it's okay, just get used to it." Chen An said calmly.

Just get used to it? But I really don’t!

Alex shouted in his heart, but said, "Don't I have to teach you to read?"

"No, I've already remembered..."

"Oh...ah?!"
