The Magician of Clow

Chapter 864 Go back to your own world

In London, apart from luxury shopping and high rents, perhaps the most impressive thing about London's spending on people who have lived there is,
Transportation is expensive.

As a hub in the UK, London's transportation is very developed. Generally, it is no more than 400 meters in the city center. There must be subway or bus platforms. However, it is extremely convenient and has a very significant feature.

One word, expensive.

The most representative subway in London has very complex billing methods and ticket types, such as annual tickets, monthly tickets, daily tickets, single tickets, peak tickets, off-peak tickets, etc.
Ah, but they all have the same thing in common,

Expensive. Just expensive (Khan)
If one day you need to take the subway to go to London, be sure to understand the various rules in detail to avoid high costs,

Prepare in advance what kind of tourist oyster card, buy a seven-day travel ticket and other discount cards
"But even if you have a card, it costs nearly 3 pounds, and some are still at the original price during peak hours, and the London Underground is an antique without air conditioning, so thinking about the 1 pound 2 pound bus becomes cute~"

Looking at Tang Bing, who seemed to have seen heaven with a silly smile in front of him, who was probably already delirious from the heartache, Fang·Wandering·ran, who basically relied on the rent without transportation,

After thinking about this expense, the corners of the mouth twitched slightly, swallowing saliva.
Wei Wei is ashamed, thinking that the subway is so expensive without air conditioning, it is worthy of being a wealthy people living in London in a developed country
However, what they don't know is that in fact, even the locals in London pay for their own city's transportation fares.
It was so painful that I couldn't breathe.

There has even been news of rich people with high annual salaries evading fares.
So you must not think that the price is the same as that of supermarkets. They have a high income so they can afford this price. As London, the No.2 most expensive transportation in Europe,
It's a waste of money to easily spend a few thousand pounds a year in transport costs.

What?You mean London taxis?

Oh, for your heart's sake I advise you not to know
"Such a high cost"

As an ordinary family with little money, I probably calculated the expenses of studying abroad, knowing that this must not be all the problems that will be encountered in life.

Fang Ran, who felt empathy for Tang Bing, looked at her and sighed silently:

"Sister, it's not easy for you to be an exchange student."

"Otherwise, it would not be so easy to achieve my goals. All I can do is to study hard and save some money for my family. In London, as long as it has something to do with human services, it is very expensive. Just like what I said about SPA, Do you know how much it costs for a sauna ticket, senior?"

Tang Bing rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then seemed to finally be able to find someone to complain.
Even the sunny and cheerful, always full of joy, she couldn't help but puff out one cheek and complain to Fang Ran:
"It's hard for a girl to study abroad alone. She has to work hard and pay attention to safety. After all, foreign security is not as good as ours in China. Even in London, not every district is as safe as the city center."

Speaking of which, Tang Bing rolled his eyes in a speechless expression and complained:
"Senior, do you know that when you first came here, you went to the senior sisters to learn the scriptures and heard something that you must never go to places like Brixton at night,"

"Even if you go, you have to trot all the way in a light place, and there is even such an unspoken rule that twenty pounds is a price acceptable to both parties. I was terrified when I heard it."

"and many more!!!"

A broken drink interrupted Tang Bing's broken thoughts, and she was startled, Meng Meng opened her eyes wide, staring blankly at Fang Ran as if she had noticed something with Hua Dian's tough style.

"Sister, what did you just say?"

"I was scared to death when I heard it."

"No, last sentence."

"Twenty pounds is a price acceptable to both parties."

"Not this sentence."

"Even if you go, you have to go all the way where there is light."

"One more sentence above."

“Never go to Brixton at night”

Fang Ran: "."

ummm
No hamster, Fang Ran's brain went through a quick thought.

Then Tang Bing, who was dumbfounded by his question, saw Fang Ran suddenly look at him with a sweet smile, and the topic turned 180°.

"Junior girl, how much is the SPA and massage tickets you said before?"

That night,

Brixton.

As a multi-ethnic community in South London, where a large part of the population is of black Caribbean descent, the apartments are cheap, multicultural collision, vibrant and lively atmosphere.
The crime rate is high, the streets are dirty, and there are many homeless people living around the station, and people can be seen clashing for a long time.

Next to the dimly lit remote neighborhood, near the bar where the rough drunkards raise their glasses, a figure walks slowly in a place without light.

It quickly attracted the attention of two men.

Almost tacitly, they glanced at each other's companions, showing a smile mixed with some kind of ugly, and the two of them quickly followed,

In preparation for another extra money tonight, he grabbed the other party's shoulder, lowered his voice with a low smile and went straight to the subject.

"Hey! Boy! Stop! Hand over the money!"

Then the next second when the other party slowly turned around, he suddenly saw faintly in the dark alley behind him, a comatose man was piled up like garbage.
Beneath the hood were the weird smiles in the dark, speaking a language they didn't understand.

"The fourth one is finally not a homeless person."

The next day, the sun was shining.

"Senior, is it my illusion?"

In the supermarket's goods area, Tang Bing looked at Fang Ran who was easily holding three large boxes and put them on top with a confused expression:
"I always feel that you are in an inexplicably good mood after changing your clothes today.?"

He casually put three boxes of unknown goods into the cargo area, and by the way helped Tang Bing unload the cart, and put on a new pair of jeans, a shirt, and a coat, Fang Ran.

Feeling that the background is full of flowers, he looked at Tang Bing with a refreshing look and replied with a smile:

"Ah? No, you are delusional, junior girl."

Let Tang Bing stare at him silently with a sharp twitch.

Senior, your mouth is grinning to the bottom of your ears, who are you fooling around?
"Okay, we're done moving, let's go back~"

After clapping his hands, Fang Ran walked towards the cashier with a smile on his face, so that Tang Bing, who was following him, had no idea what kind of medicine he, a strange senior, was taking today.

However, in fact, last night, according to Tang Bing's 'guidance' and 'inspiration', it took several hours to finally find Fang Ran of Brixton,
Looking at the surrounding streets, there are drunk people from time to time, and many places are dimly lit and messy.
Filled with the smell of getting rich.

Then Fang Ran suddenly came to a realization from Tang Bing's words!

If he wants to get financial resources from those habitual criminals who are not good people, he actually doesn't need to be a chivalrous man on the roof and wall,
He absolutely can.
Fishing Law Enforcement.

Then one night, the 'Chocolate Box Masked Man' suddenly realized that the efficiency of fishing law enforcement was so high that it broke the sky compared to drinking the northwest wind on the wall and roof.
Even if there are some homeless poor, the final 'money drop' is equivalent to nearly thirty hours of work in the supermarket.
emmm (quick thinking)
Farewell, my immature knight-errant heart (with tears and smiles farewell).

"School girl"

"what?"

"Massage and shopping are really good things, thank you."

"Hey - so disgusting, senior, did you take the wrong medicine today?!"

Seeing Fang Ran say these words with a sassy smile on his face, Tang Bing suddenly felt a chill, wondering if he listened to what he said yesterday and went to the bathhouse in South London to seek health care.
Then open the door to a new world.

Although it is not far from the truth.
In the daytime today, I finally found a high-end bath and massage center that Tang Bing told him on his mobile phone yesterday. It was the first time in my life that I came to such a place alone.

After a comfortable bath and a massage from a foreign mature big sister,
Almost immersed in the pleasures of capitalism unable to extricate themselves.

Whether it's the expensive tickets or the experience of buying anything you want on Oxford Street, Fang Ran once again realized that,

It's nice to be rich (heartfelt sigh).

Fang · instant material · nature.

"Ah, senior, I'm going to fix what Mrs. Isis asked me to put on, I'll ask you to watch it for a while~"

"Oh, I see."

On the fifth day of wandering, Fang Ran, who finally took a deep breath in the new clothes and hot water, bit the edge of the paper cup and waved her hand as she was accustomed to.

Just looking at the fact that his dignified participants are actually working in the supermarket, and thinking about the extraordinary means last night, even though he spent a lot today, there are still dozens of pounds of 'income' left,
As for the 10 pounds that she finally got by luck on the first day, Wei Wei covered her face sadly, thinking of an old saying that her high school math teacher often said.

The method is really important.
If I asked the junior girl directly the next day, wouldn't I have to put this effort aside?

Silently rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, but glanced at the energetic figure in the red Donald Duck coat walking through the commodity shelves.
With his arm resting on the cashier counter and dragging his cheek, Fang Ran held up the water glass and smiled helplessly.

Well, it would be nice to have such an experience in a few days.
just,

The moment when I put down the paper cup and looked at the water inside, I recalled that the 'bad guy' who was so vigilant and restless last night was just a prey to myself even if I have no ability now,
I don't remember who said it,

If fear cannot be overcome, it becomes fear itself.

Through the reflection on the water surface in the cup, Fang Ran seemed to see the really powerful 'child'.
Different from the journey to the North Pole with all his strength, losing his ability to become a mortal, and a wanderer lost in a foreign London, this time the real life world gave Fang Ran a different kind.
"Sorry, I want to check out."

Halfway through his thoughts, a customer in front of him spoke calmly, which made Fang Ran quickly return to his senses and put on a polite smile, slightly wondering why the capable men in suits in front of him came to the supermarket,
Hearing his deep voice leaning down slightly, the look in Fang Ran's eyes was stunned.

"Madam. Let me pick you up."

Then slowly and quietly
　In fact, I have been worrying about how to deal with the daily routine and the main story to achieve a perfect balance. These two have completely opposite effects on the rhythm of the story. One tends to be gentle and relaxed, and the other tends to be tense and continuous, so I think about the seemingly nonsensical supermarket job , chivalry, and wandering life, I try to give them meaning in the main line, the impact on the characters, and integrate some indispensable "elements" into them, just like this chapter and the previous one, and Yesterday I tried two updates and failed, and I also failed today. I found that the biggest difficulty in my two updates is that I can’t write a story in a sheet of more than 2000 words, and I can’t write two sheets of more than 6000 words a day. owe 13]
