In fact, the director of the Belchero Orphanage cannot be blamed for his temper.
The children in the orphanage have lost their parents since childhood. If the director shows a kind side, many children will take advantage of it.
It was precisely because of this that the dean had to act like the cold-faced King of Hell he is now.
To be honest, the director of Belcello Orphanage is actually a very good person.
At least not a single child in the entire Belcello Orphanage has died of illness or starvation.
Even if the children are injured while exploring the cave, the director will spend a lot of money to treat them.
Except for one or two who die every year due to bad luck in the cave, the other orphans can grow up healthy.
If this were replaced by a more sinister orphanage, I am afraid that orphans like Rico would have been treated as expendables and driven to dig up relics in Abyss to make money for themselves.
The curriculum at Belcello Orphanage is very limited, and most of it is related to cave exploration.
As for other aspects of knowledge, even if the orphanage wants to teach them, there is nothing they can do. After all, teachers are an extremely scarce resource in this world.
In the evening, Lin Yi went out for a walk.
When he came back, he had two chickens, ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of beef, and several large bags of rice.
The dean did not refuse and accepted these ingredients. After all, the children really needed to supplement their nutrition.
It is not an exaggeration to put the saying "A half-grown man eats a poor old man" here.
70% of the income from each trip to the orphanage is spent on three meals a day for the orphans.
Although the price of meat here is very expensive, the dean still tries his best to give the children a meal of meat every two or three days to replenish their bodies.
Fortunately, Kirou is very capable as a cave explorer and can bring back some relics from time to time. Otherwise, the orphanage's finances would be even more strained.
At night, Lin Yi originally wanted to go out to live, but the dean told him that the children had already packed a bed for him.
The dean heard about Lin Yi's origins from Li Ke and Naduo. She knew that Lin Yi might not be short of money, but this was their little wish.
Lin Yi did not refuse the dean's kindness and moved into the room that the children had tidied for him.
It can be seen that the children cleaned the room very cleanly.
There were still water stains left on the floor after the mop was done. The window next to the bed was half open, and the evening breeze blew into the room, quietly taking away a trace of moisture.
Through the window next to the bed, Lin Yi could see the Abyss Abyss at night.
At night, the entrance to the Abyss Abyss is still brightly lit.
According to the information collected by Lin Yi, due to the abyss force field inside the Abyss Abyss, there is not much difference between the light at night and during the day.
The first 300 meters on the first floor may be affected by light, but once it goes below 300 meters, the light will basically not change much.
The technological level of Oss Town is, in Lin Yi’s words, distorted.
Due to the existence of relics, scientific and technological progress in this world does not rely on scientists to advance technology bit by bit, but through studying relics and deciphering how they work.
After thousands of years of development, 90% of the world's infrastructure today relies on solar jade excavated from the Abyss Abyss.
There is no way, the energy source of Sun Jade is too perfect.
It is pollution-free, has a lot of energy storage, and is very easy to replace. Moreover, this thing can be dug into a pile in the Abyss Abyss.
From the fact that Rico and a group of orphans could dig out so many, we can see how worthless this thing is.
If the Sun Jade was valuable, it would have been dug up long ago. Where would it be left for children like Li Ke?
"Brother Lin, it's time to eat." Just as Lin Yi stared at the Abyss Abyss and his thoughts continued to diverge, Li Ke pushed open the door and signaled Lin Yi to start eating.
Under the leadership of Li Ke, Lin Yi came to the restaurant of the orphanage.
Today, there are a lot of children coming to the orphanage for dinner, and the entire dining table is full.
The children's laughter echoed in the restaurant, adding a lot of warmth to this otherwise deserted place.
After seeing Lin Yi coming over, Kirou pulled out the chair on the left side of the main seat.
According to Lin Yi's understanding, Kirou should be only seventeen or eighteen years old now. He has already obtained the Moon Flute at such a young age, so he is truly a genius.

…
Based on Kiroo's strength panel, he could directly beat Bell Alger, whom Lin Yi met at the Cave Explorer's Guild yesterday.
The gap in strength between the two sides is too obvious, there is no doubt about it.
Not to mention the gap in skills, Kirou directly crushed Bel Alger in the attribute panel alone.
It can only be said that Kirou is worthy of being the disciple favored by [Lord of Annihilation] Lysa and [Lord of Immovable] Anson at the same time, and he does have something special about him.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lin, is there something on my face?" Kirou frowned slightly after feeling Lin Yi's gaze.
To be honest, Kirou is still suspicious of Lin Yi's arrival.
After all, Lin Yi's identity and origin are a mystery, and Kirou is worried that Lin Yi is coming for Rico.
You know, Li Ke is the daughter of teacher Lysa. If some forces with ulterior motives find out about this, there will definitely be another bloody storm.
If Lin Yi knew what Kirou was thinking, he would only say that the young man got the result right but the process was wrong.
Lin Yi's target is indeed Li Ke, but it's just for a ride.
Soon, a pot of stewed beef curry was served by the dean.
It's true that the orphanage has never eaten curry in the past, but the meat in the curry in the past can be said to be pitifully small, which is completely incomparable to this time.
This time the curry is filled with simmered beef, exuding a rich aroma that makes people salivate.
The pork Lin Yi brought back was made into fried pork chops, and everyone put three portions on their plates.
Don't underestimate the appetite of these children. These children exercise a lot on weekdays, which also results in their food intake being astonishing.
"Okay, before we eat, let us thank the gods for the food." The dean came in and sat on the main seat. Then he began to fold his hands and began to repent solemnly, looking very pious.
The children on the side did the same thing as Kirou. They clasped their hands together and lowered their heads slightly, with solemn expressions on their faces. Lin Yi was the only one with his right hand on his head, watching the prayer ceremony in front of him with interest.
Five minutes later, everyone slowly opened their eyes and ended their prayers.
At this time, the dean seemed to notice Lin Yi's gaze, and then she remembered that Lin Yi was not a resident of Aos.
"Sorry for keeping Mr. Lin waiting for so long. Let's eat quickly."
After the director gave the order, the children in the entire orphanage couldn't wait to start eating.
The children's faces were filled with happy smiles, enjoying this rare delicious food.
"Dean, can I ask who you were praying to just now? According to the information I know, Aos does not seem to belong to the Western Holy See."
In this world, there is naturally a Holy See that believes in gods, but the power of the Holy See is very far away from Os, and it is impossible to extend its tentacles to this place.
"The object of our faith is naturally the Abyss Abyss. He gives us food and life, and when we die, we will naturally return to the embrace of the Abyss Abyss." The dean said this. At that time, his expression was extremely serious, and Lin Yi could tell that the dean was not joking.
In other words, people here really regard the Abyss Abyss as a god.
"Interesting." Lin Yi didn't say much, but picked up the spoon on the table and started eating curry rice.
Perhaps it's because the seasoning here is produced from the abyss, which makes Lin Yi's taste feel unique.
Lin Yi stopped after finishing two portions of curry rice. As for the other children, Li Ke had finished three portions of curry rice and five portions of fried pork chop.
Nado eats more than Rico, which shows how difficult it is for the dean to take care of these children on weekdays.
At night, Lin Yi left the orphanage on the pretext of walking around, but in fact he was going to visit the slums of Os.
According to his understanding, a place like a slum where good and bad people are mixed often hides a lot of unexpected information.
And Lin Yi also hopes to get some special relics there. After all, they have come to this world. If he doesn't get some good things back, Lin Yi is afraid that he won't have enough paradise coins to buy the key after he goes back.
"Come out, you've been following me for an hour, you're not tired." Lin Yi came to an ice cream stall, bought two ice creams, and then sat on a chair on the road.
He picked up an ice cream and said towards a tree behind and to his left.
After more than ten seconds, a figure appeared from behind the tree, then came to Lin Yi's side and took the ice cream from Lin Yi's hand.
"How did you find me?" Kirou asked a little confused.
When he was following him just now, he was sure that he didn't reveal any clues. How did Lin Yi sense his presence?
"Boy, following people and tracking beasts are two different methods. In the Abyss Abyss, your tracking method may be fine, but for people, you are still a bit too immature. When you look at people in the future Remember not to look directly at it, just scan it with your peripheral vision." Lin Yi took the ice cream ball on the cone in his hand and felt the sweetness melting on his tongue.
In fact, these are all minor problems that Lin Yi mentioned. The most important thing is that Kirou broke into Lin Yi's perception circle.
For such an obvious person, as long as Lin Yi was not a fool, he would know that he was being followed.
"So, who are you? What are you going to do by approaching Rico?" Kirou asked straight to the point without any nonsense.
He paid special attention to Lin Yi during dinner and found that two-thirds of the time Lin Yi raised his head was looking at Li Ke.
Although Kirou could sense that Lin Yi had no ill intentions towards Rico, Kirou must ask clearly about Lin Yi's purpose.
"Me? To be honest, I just want to hitch a ride." Lin Yi's words came out calmly.
Hearing Lin Yi's answer, Kirou frowned. It was obvious that he did not understand the meaning of Lin Yi's words.
"It's okay, you'll know when the time comes. Anyway, just know that I have no ill intentions towards Li Ke." Lin Yi leaned on the chair, finished the ice cream in his hand slowly, and then threw the entire ice cream cone aside. In the trash can.
Kiruo lowered his head and looked at the ground, with a look of thought in his eyes.
"You're here just in time. Do you know where the black market in Oss Town is?"
"Black market? What do you want to buy?" Kirou was stunned for a moment and looked up at Lin Yi.
"Nonsense, of course they are relics. They have all come to Os. If you don't buy two or three relics, wouldn't it be all in vain?" Lin Yi said helplessly.
There was no way, according to the information Lin Yi learned, most of the relics sold by the Cave Explorer Guild were useless fourth-level relics, and there were very few third-level relics among them.
Basically, the second-level relics and first-level relics will not leak out, and are often digested by the cave diggers within the cave explorer guild.
As for the special-grade relics, they are not for sale at all. If any team of cave explorers has special-grade relics, it can be said that they will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives.
"Follow me." Kirou quickly threw the remaining half mouthful of ice cream into his mouth, then stood up and motioned for Lin Yi to follow him.
Lin Yi saw this and immediately followed Kirou's pace.
Almost half an hour later, the two of them had left the center of Oss Town and arrived at the edge of Oss Town.
Here, Lin Yi could clearly feel that the flow of people had decreased a lot.
The streets seemed a little deserted, which was in sharp contrast to the lively and prosperous center of the town.
Most of the people around were secretive. Even the homeless people on both sides of the street had very fierce eyes. But when they saw the moon flute around Kirou's neck, they all curled up to avoid being raped. Luo noticed.
You must know that the level of cave explorers in this world is not just a decoration. Those who can become Cang Di's cave explorers are basically beyond the scope of these little gangsters who dare to disturb them.
As for Yue Di level cave hunters, these gangsters and gang bosses are no match.
"Boss, this kid is actually Yue Flute? He must have stolen from someone in the family, right? Do you want to go over and do it?" A young gangster looked at Kirou with doubts on his face, his eyes flashing with greed and adventure. light.
"Fuck you, if you miss, go as soon as possible, I haven't lived enough yet." The gangster leader's eyes widened with anger, and he glared hard at the subordinate who knew nothing about the world.
"That guy is Kirou. From now on, use your best moves. If you offend him, the boss will not be able to save you." The leader looked at Kirou who walked over expressionlessly with fearful eyes, and his heart was full of fear.
These new members didn't know how powerful Kirou was, but he knew it very well.
When Kiruou first became Cangdi, he came directly here and wiped out a small gang.
That battle shocked everyone, and from then on, Belchero Orphanage became a forbidden area.
Otherwise, how could there be no gang wanting to interfere with such a big piece of fat, but anyone who wanted to do so was killed by Kiruo.
"Look, you are quite famous here." Lin Yi noticed that after seeing Kirou's face, the gangsters here all showed expressions of disbelief, and then their expressions changed drastically, for fear of being raped. Luo noticed.
"It's nothing, I just killed two gangs who were not smart enough." Kiruou's tone was calm, as if he was telling an insignificant matter.
"As expected of Lysa's apprentice, he is indeed the same apprentice as his master." Lin Yi revealed Kirou's identity in one breath.
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Kirou paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced meaningfully at Lin Yi, and then continued to set off.
"I'm not as good as my master. If I were my master, all the gang members here would be thrown into the Abyss Abyss and become food for the corpse-weeping birds." Hearing Kirou's words, Lin Yi did not refute.
What to say about Annihilation Queen Lysa? You can roughly know her temperament just from her nickname.
Among the white flutes, Lysa is also extremely powerful in combat.
Back then, Lysa's mission to snatch the special relic [The Clock that Stops Time] failed because she was pregnant with Rico.
After Orson and Lysa brought Rico up, Lysa bravely entered the enemy country alone and snatched back the special relic [The Clock that Stops Time]. From this, we can see how powerful Lysa's combat power is. Horrible. (End of chapter)
