MTL - I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain-Chapter 13 cinderella

  Chapter 13 Cinderella

  However, after the potion trading incident, Tu Fu, the rumored cunning and despicable "fraudster", seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of potions. He lived a life of two points and one line as usual, and did not easily try to cross the red line of the restricted area.

   But unlike usual, he has become very **** his studies, especially the two subjects of Assyrian and history.

  The degree of selling is as greedy as a newborn baby for breast milk.

  From the textbooks, he learned that since the birth of writing in the Northern Continent, it was the earliest record of God and the gods.

  According to the stories adapted from the ancient seven gods by later generations, they were endowed with the dark side of humanity. Similarly, the level of confusion in the stories derived from the gods and humans after the creation of God was comparable to a "Greek Mythology".

  The great master with an absurd life style acts as a walking pile driver, making the family relationship even more messy.

  Comparable to the absurd relationship of the royal genealogy in the medieval period of the Northern Continent: "My daughter's daughter is still my daughter."

  All kinds of stigmatizing style problems can be said to have trampled the B character of the gods to pieces.

  Historical records record creatures such as giant dragons, elves, mermaids, and demihumans before humans. At the beginning of the era, they often left traces of their activities.

   It was only after the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Discovery that these races gradually began to disappear.

   Perhaps it hid deeper to avoid human capture.

  On the way to Leeds Comprehensive College, Tu Fu tirelessly listened to the stories of the mysterious thief in Leeds.

   Passed on, the Morton family was stolen by unknown thieves.

   Pass it on, Mrs. Morton stole.

   Pass it on, Morton got stolen.

  …

   By analogy, some versions of the story were derived that even he, the client, did not know.

  When you meet classmates, you even have to go along with them and praise yourself.

  Tu Fu sighed a little, and complained silently in his heart: "If everyone didn't say that, I wouldn't know that I was so good."

  Children of this age like to talk about this kind of thing most. When they were young, who didn't imagine that they could become partners of justice.

  If you get older and are overwhelmed by the daily necessities of life,

  I couldn't even have the courage to think.

  People don't hate having supernatural powers, but it has become a certain consensus why the people hate superhumans.

  According to Tu Fu’s short-sightedness as a keyboard warrior, the root of this disgust is not only that the superhuman brings trouble to the original social order.

   More importantly, I don't hate you because you are a transcendent, and I am not.

  The underground organization didn't intend to find out who was behind the scenes these days, and he also got a bit of breathing room for a while.

   Simply enjoy the youthful campus life. Even though I feel that this kind of life is very boring now, it is the most memorable time in the days after getting married and starting a business.

  Tu Fu, who has installed monitoring at your classmates’ homes, has undergone a subtle change in his mentality, as if he is looking at you from the perspective of God.

  The underground couples in the class exchanged glances, but pretended to be strangers to each other.

  Looking at the naughty male student next to him deliberately making the girl he likes angry, he probably still expects to be hit twice in his heart, and it is best to chase after him.

  Usually pretend to be some high-achieving students who never study, and in private...never study.

  Speedy Billy in the next seat shared the latest campus gossip as usual.

   "Guess where I saw Grace a few days ago. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never believe it. She was actually a backup dancer in a tavern."

   "I remember that she seems to live in the Wood area, and it's normal for those people from the countryside to be undisciplined."

   "Grace's parents are divorced, and her stepmother has been to the school several times and plans to apply for withdrawal."

   "Probably to earn some tuition money."

   "Anyway, it's ridiculous."

  A few people whispering in the corner of the classroom attracted more people's attention.

  Actually, students at this age have already learned how to respect others, and they will not speak out loudly and satirically.

   But that doesn't stop them from pointing fingers behind their backs and putting a label on someone that they can never take off.

   "Is it really her?" Tu Fu held his chin, recalling the backup dancer girl he saw in the old hunter's tavern, who happened to be a classmate of the senior class of the academy.

  Grace Kelly, a girl who is good-looking and has a nice name.

  Billy and his group pointed to a female classmate with long curly chestnut hair who was soft and shiny sitting in the front row.

  Her skin is very white and delicate, and her clear and bright light blue eyes seem to be immersed in crystals. The fusion of pure pupils and willow-shaped eye shapes brings a different style.

  Out of instinct, Tu Fu knew all the names of the good-looking female classmates by heart, so he recognized the identities of the girls at the old hunter's tavern at a glance that day.

  Compared to her popularity, Grace is at the top of the ordinary class regardless of her academic performance or appearance, but she is also almost the poorest student in the class because of her rural household registration and family reasons.

  In addition, she always does odd jobs outside, so she got the derogatory nickname of "Cinderella".

  Grace with chestnut hair was wearing a washed-out female school uniform, and the rough patchwork on the clothes was completely inferior to that of her aunt.

  Billy's voices overwhelmed the others, but she didn't seem to hear the sarcasm behind her and was still looking down at the book.

  Tu Fu rolled his eyes, walked over and blinked in disbelief: "Billy, did you mean you were in the tavern at that time?"

  The quick-talking Billy who claimed to have witnessed Grace going to the dance hall in the corner was also taken aback, and then quickly motioned him to shut up, "Don't talk nonsense, I never go to pubs."

   "Of course, no one with integrity would go to a tavern to watch a performance." Tu Fu's expression was also very serious, except for those who like to write a diary, "Unless you didn't witness it with your own eyes."

  Going to a tavern is not something worth mentioning on the table.

  The taverns, dance halls and some entertainment venues of the Baia Kingdom actually prohibit minors from entering, but adolescent boys will always try to break the rules and challenge the shackles.

  Tu Fu found such a widely circulated color joke from the memory of the original owner.

  The father always advises the underage son not to go to the dance hall, because there will be something that should not be seen there, which is the key to open the taboo door, and the body of the person who sees it will be cursed and petrified.

  After countless struggles, the son finally couldn't bear his curiosity, so he went to the ballroom secretly one night.

   Sure enough, he saw something he shouldn't see—his father.

   "So in fact, you didn't go to any tavern, let alone saw a performance you shouldn't watch. I think what you heard should be some irrelevant rumors."

   Tu Fu smiled and followed his words.

   "But I clearly... No, you're right, it must be a rumor." Sure enough, Billy, who was still gossiping just now, finally realized the stakes.

   Although this incident is not a big deal, it is also the most enthusiastic topic of the boys in private.

  If it is made public, it will definitely be notified to the Academic Affairs Office, and it will inevitably be notified and criticized. Then he spent his campus life infinitely under the surprised eyes of all the students in the school.

   It's better to go down the steps given by Tu Fu.

  Without Billy, the gossip leader, the few people gathered just now scattered back to their seats, and this sensitive topic came to an end naturally.

  Tu Fu's appropriate topic change resolved the embarrassing scene and cleverly saved classmate Grace's face.

  After the brief excitement, the girl in the front row, Grace Kelly, turned her head quietly and gave Tufu a grateful look, but the latter turned her head and indulged in the study of ancient Assyrian.

  As if this was nothing more than a trivial matter.

   After finishing today's study, Tu Fu re-examined the troubles he was about to face now.

  Unknown dangers on the ship are waiting for me, and the people from the underground organization will not let me go easily. There are dangers hidden in the darkness of this world.

   It has been less than three months since the final selection for higher education. It is not easy to improve points, find a career, or earn tuition fees.

  The pressure of living in this era is really overwhelming.

  Tu Fu habitually lists these things one by one in the notebook, makes plans after clarifying the goals, and prioritizes solutions to problems according to emergencies.

  In fact, in his previous life, he was such a person who was organized and had a clear plan for the future. However, such a person... was still exploited to death by capitalists.

  Tu Fu integrated the cards in his hand, such as listing the pros and cons of returning to the Santa Maria, accepting the crisis on board and using the convenience of the sky eye.

   “The advantages of being on a boat far outweigh the disadvantages.”

  This is his final conclusion. After experiencing the sweetness of the transaction for the first time, Tu Fu wanted to dig deeper into the secret of the ghost ship.

When school was about to end, when the students in the classroom were leaving one after another, a strange figure appeared next to his seat. Grace, the central figure who was discussed just now, lowered her head and whispered softly: "Thank you, I mean What happened just now."

  Tu Fu shook his head indifferently: "It's nothing?"

   "It's true what they say, but I have some necessary reasons for doing it."

   Grace was a little ashamed. For a girl her age, there was nothing more embarrassing than being part-time in a ballroom to earn tuition.

   You Qi was discovered by the students in the same class, and she felt a little ashamed of Tu Fu's kindness.

   "As I said earlier, it's nothing."

  Tu Fu felt from the bottom of his heart that he would do the same thing if it weren’t for the blessing of his adoptive parents. “In any age, it shouldn’t be a shameful thing to earn money with your own hands.”

   "Perhaps." Grace smiled mischievously.

  Perhaps it was the other party's experience that touched him, Tu Fu continued to speak after pondering:

"I've heard a story. Once upon a time, a rich man's wife died of illness, and he married a new wife soon after. It's just that the stepmother was not friendly to the original wife's daughter, and made the two younger sisters bully her in different ways. Everyone called her 'Cinderella'."

  Grace's eyes shone slightly, as if realizing the intention behind this story.

   "Cinderella inherited her mother's excellent character, and lived seriously every day no matter how difficult it was. Once the prince in the city held a huge ball, and all the girls in the city would go..."

  Tu Fu talked about this story leisurely, talked about elements that girls are interested in, such as balls, crystal shoes, and midnight princesses, and talked about the ending leisurely:

   "She finally met the prince and lived happily together. The stepmother and two younger sisters were also punished as they should be."

   I don’t know whether it’s an accident or a coincidence, but the characters in the book are inexplicably similar to Grace.

   This is a simple story of "Don't bully the poor girl", but when Tu Fu finished the story, Grace was very silent.

  She is like the protagonist of this story, even her life experience and encounters are so similar.

  Student Grace turned to seriously look at Xiao Transparent in the class. I don't know when, the other party's temperament has undergone some inexplicable changes, and his gestures exude sunshine and confidence.

"do you understand?"

  Looking at the sincerity on Tu Funai's smiling face, Grace's coldness that had been frozen for some time was also melted away. She solemnly thanked the other party again:

   "Thank you for your story. I think I understand what you mean. No matter what hardships you go through, people who work hard will eventually be rewarded."

  Looking at the suddenly enlightened look of the girl in front of her, she thanked him very seriously.

   Tu Fu pondered for a moment, because he hadn't finished the second half.

  Actually, what he wants to say is,

   "Look, it may be a beautiful thing to marry a prince."
