A few slapstick kids ran past Jenkins barefoot, and were scolded by the postman who was almost knocked over on the other side. In order to remind the pedestrians to ring the bell from far and near, the gentleman with a top hat in the carriage, holding his nose, looked at the drunk man who disappeared deep in the alley with some disgust. The weather today is very good, so I can see the thick chimneys in the distance and the black smoke that is still gushing out.

　　 "Welcome to this world, Jenkin."

　　 He stopped and said to himself in his heart.

　　【Knowledge and Books】The church's church is located in the center of Nolan. From the location point of view, it is not close to Jenkins' home.

　　 Jenkins stared at the sunset alone for a while, recalling everything that belongs to the original owner in his heart, determined to live a different life from now on.

　　 This body is already 20 years old. In this era, it is old enough for the poor to be a father, but Jenkins still behaves like a child.

　　 refers to not only living with parents, but also various aspects of image and behavior.

　　 He was stunned for a while, and decided to go back in the carriage. The original owner doesn't come here often, he has a vague memory of the way back, and isn't he rich now?

　　 He walked along the road for a while, and found an empty carriage at the next intersection. The driver with the dark hat looked at Jenkins suspiciously for a while until he saw the silver brooch on his chest.

　　 "It seems to be despised."

　　 Jenkins thought in his heart.

　　Nolan City is one of the most developed coastal cities in the Kingdom of Fidcicle. It is not only the mouth of many rivers, but also an excellent deep-water port. Although it is impossible to keep it from freezing all year round, even in the coldest winter, the urban area is always lively.

　　 As cities carry multiple tasks, the area of ​​urban areas has become larger and larger in recent years. The continuous influx of bankrupt farmers and speculators has made the slums in Xiacheng bigger and bigger; while capitalists and nobles have earned enough profits, they also hope that more shops and entertainment venues will appear in the city for their enjoyment.

　　 "This is the best time and the worst time."

　　 Jenkins said to himself in his heart.

The coachman here does not have the habit of nagging like taxi drivers in the previous life. After half an hour of silence, the coach stopped safely at the intersection of Privet Road. Jenkins also tested it during the journey and found that the green ability could also be achieved. Activate the emblem, it is a small sapling.

　　 After the carriage stopped steadily, he poked his head out of the carriage. It was fine. There were no familiar neighbors.

Withdrawing a gold-listed green banknote from his pocket, the coachman looked at it carefully, then rummaged in his pocket for a while, and gave them two blue 10 shillings with the queen's head printed on them, and one 1 banknote. Order of silver coins. Of course, it is impure silver.

　　 12 pence = 1 shilling, 24 shillings = 1 gold pound. It is not just grammar that restricts the poor from climbing to a higher class. Mathematical conversion is enough to build a barrier for the middle class.

　　 No. 7 Nuzhen Road is the home of Jenkins. This is a three-story building with a small independent garden.

　　 "Don't be nervous, and act according to memory for a while."

　　 Jenkins Williams, the second son of the Williams family, there is also an elder brother and a younger brother in the family. The Williams family is now a real middle class. The head of the family, Robert Williams, ran a grocery store in front of the dock in the early years. He sent Jenkins' eldest brother to college by making money from the sailors.

　　 Two years ago, Mr. William was envious of those "lucky guys" who became rich overnight because of precision investment. So despite the opposition of the family, following the trend of this crazy era, he took out most of the funds accumulated over the years and invested with others in a marine mineral that may exist in the shallow sea outside Nolan City.

　　 The upstart's luck is only accidental, and Robert's fate is naturally worthless.

　　 But Mr. William's luck lies in the fact that it is not just a small shopkeeper like him among the "players" who invest in marine minerals. Mr. Smith, a tycoon who came to invest from the capital of Bel Dylan, somehow took a fancy to Williams' talent and decided to hire him to work in his company.

　　 After a year, the original small grocery store owner actually got into the management at the Nolan branch of "Smith United Mining Company". This matter seems to be strange to Jenkins now, but he can't tell what other people want to see in their home.

　　 Although he is only a small sales team leader, everyone knows the amount of oil and water in the sales department of a mining company.

A year later, the Williams family, who made a fortune due to this series of "coincidences", not only moved from the Adyland District where they originally lived to the Sabine District, but also successfully sent the youngest son to the exclusive nobleman's house. 【Nolan Private Third Preparatory College】.

　　 Eddyland District is an area in Nolan City that is only better than the slums, while the Sabine District is filled with genuine middle-class gentlemen. The one thing that Mrs. Williams appreciates most is that all the residents in Sabine District have steam pipes.

Compared with the eldest son and youngest son of the Williams family, the second son Jenkins Williams made the elder Williams frustrated. His reading talent is really not very good, and he is not willing to go the way of the big brother. It's hanging out with those friends, friends and dogs.

After many persuasion to no avail, Mr. Williams simply allowed Jenkins to be slutty on the street all day, and planned to send him to learn a craft in some time, so that he can also eat in the future, if he is lucky. She can still marry a pretty-looking civilian girl as his wife.

Section 18 Chapter Seventeen The Williams Family

　　 Jenkins naturally would not agree, but the old Williams threatened not to add his name in his will, and Jenkins could only be forced to start this "last vacation".

　　—And then Jenkin becomes Jenkins.

　　 He paced hesitantly to the door of his house, first opened the fence gate of the yard, then went up the steps, knocked on the door under the canopy.

　　 It's not that there is no key to the door, but the original owner doesn't like to open the door and always knocks no matter how late it is.

"I am back."

　　 He said awkwardly to the middle-aged woman who opened the door.

　　 Today is a working day. Jenkins's father has not finished get off work at the mining company, and his younger brother is still in class. The only eldest brother has moved to the school for a long time, and Jenkins is the only idler in the family.

　　 "It's fine to come back, come in quickly, we will have dinner soon."

　　 With a loving smile, Mary Williams gave Jenkins a big hug. Instead of asking what he had done with the bishop, she quickly asked the maid at home to give Jenkins home clothes and shoes.

　　 Although it is a middle class, the Williams family is also the richest group in the middle class. In an encounter that Jenkins didn't understand, the old Williams grabbed wealth that normal people could not imagine.

　　 "There is a big question, and we need to investigate this later."

　　 Jenkins reminded himself in his heart, and then changed his clothes with the help of a middle-aged woman in an apron.

　　 In addition to the rice cooker and maid hired, Jenkins’s younger brother also has a tutor. The first two were hired from the "Nolan City Housekeeping Center" after introduction, and the old gentleman of the latter was a former teacher of Jenkins.

　　 I don’t know what their salary is, but it should not be less than the job Jenkins just got.

　　 Every aspect of this family is full of vigor, except for Jenkins.

　　 Before he could return to his room to rest, the head of the family, Robert Williams, returned with his youngest son, John Williams.

　　 "Oh, Jenkins is back."

　　 The middle-aged man handed the briefcase to the maid on the side, changed his shoes, and then walked forward and gave Jenkins a big hug when he stood up.

　　 "How was your stay with Bishop Parrod last night? Jenkins will not be reprimanded, will he?"

　　 There is a big smile on his face. Although the original owner is no better than his brother in all aspects, the love that Robert gives to the three brothers is the same.

"is acceptable."

　　 Jenkins nodded unaccustomedly, feeling very embarrassed and couldn't refuse.

　　 "This is Jenkins Williams."

　　 He kept admonishing himself in his heart. Although he felt like a thief who had stolen someone else’s identity, he really liked this identity.

　　 After being asked by Mary Williams to wash their hands, the family took a seat in the dining room. Most of the tableware in front of them is silver, which is a habit that the Williams family has only recently developed. From this alone, we can see how much money Robert made from the mining company.

　　 "Please wait a moment."

　　 Before everyone had a meal, Jenkins stood up and signaled that he had something to announce.

　　 "I ran into Bishop Parrod last night and stayed with him all night. The bishop said a lot to me, although most of them I still didn't understand."

　　 He touched his hair embarrassedly, Mary smiled and encouraged him to continue.

　　 "Although I don't understand most of it, the bishop is right. I have grown up and can't live like this anymore."

　　 "Oh, the goddess is on!"

　　 Mary exclaimed and drew a complicated square symbol on her chest. Robert nodded with satisfaction, and even Jenkins' brother John clapped gently with a smile.

　　 "What kind of image are you in the hearts of your family? Just a few empty words can get this effect?"

　　 While defamating the original owner, Jenkins took out the brooch given by Bishop Parode from his pocket.

　　 "The bishop arranged a job for me, hoping that I can settle down from now on. I accepted it. This is his gift."

　　 The family stunned at the same time, Mary groaned/groaned, stood up, and embraced Jenkins with tears in her eyes.

　　 "Child, I knew you would understand, really, I always knew..."

　　 Mr. Robert patted her on the shoulder behind her, and when Mary let go of the embarrassing Jenkins, he hugged herself.

　　He didn't say anything. After the hug, he patted Jenkins on the shoulder solemnly, "Good boy, it's from the Williams family!"

　　 Jenkins nodded to everyone in response, "I will change."

　　 He declared in a pun, Mrs. Mary really cried now.

　　 Although John then proposed to celebrate his brother’s finding a job, everyone should go to an outside restaurant to eat together, but Jenkins refused on the grounds that he wasted the prepared dinner.

　　 The family ended their dinner in a lively atmosphere. The old Williams even took Jenkins for two drinks despite his wife’s objection. The middle-aged man clutched his blond hair and smiled happily like a child.

　　 After dinner, Jenkins announced his work to Mary and Robert. They did not ask much, and seemed to think that Bishop Parrod’s arrangement could not be wrong.

　　 Robert even wanted to ask for leave tomorrow to personally send Jenkins to the old antique shop, but Jenkins firmly refused.

　　 "What a child."

　　 Jenkins evaluated the original owner in his heart, and then closed the door of his room on the second floor.

　　 Under the shining of the moonlight, facing the door of the room is a small hanging mirror. In the mirror is a young and delicate blond young man with a face that is five points similar to Robert Williams. Jenkins controlled the muscles of his face and smiled, and the young man in the mirror also showed a stiff smile.

　　 "I'm 20 years old, but it looks like 16, but it's not bad."

　　 He sat on his bed, then suddenly remembered something, got up and locked the door, but still did not turn on the gas lamp connected to the steam pipe.

　　 This family is really good. He is willing to continue to live in this world as Jenkins, so some things must be hidden from the relatives downstairs.

　　 carefully closed the curtains to cover the deep night, and then Jenkins reached the chair in front of the desk.

　　 "Turn on."

　　 He tapped his temple with his right hand, and at the same time used sentences to increase the intensity of the psychological suggestion, and those light spots soon reappeared in front of him. Jenkins heard Binsi mention that the energy used by the gifter, or something close to energy, is called "spirit" during the day. Although he did not specifically mention the details, he still told Jenkins not to overuse his abilities.

Section 19 Chapter 18 Capabilities and Gifts

　　 "The level is too low, the blue bar is very short."

　　 This is Jenkins' summary.

The three light spots of white, green and purple in front of you represent three abilities. The green ones have been tested, so naturally needless to say; [Unknown Road Ahead] is not a triggering ability at all. Jenkins has tried many times and could not find the ability to use it. I feel that this time I mainly want to see what [Simple Boxing] is for.

　　 "As long as you don't throw a fist, it shouldn't cause much damage, right?"

　　 He thought in his heart, and then activated his abilities with his spirit. Soon, the icy air flow extended along his arm to his right fist. He squinted his eyes and looked at the arm. The appearance did not change much, and there was no expected lighting effect, but he could feel the air flow following. Time passed slowly.

　　Thinking about it, Jenkins got up and walked to the center of the room, punching the air fiercely.

　　嘭~ There was a slight sonic boom, the airflow in his arm disappeared completely, and Jenkins cocked the corner of his mouth.

　　 Very good, although it is not better than the weakest Saint Seiya, but at least it has reached the limit of human beings.

　　 He sat back at the desk again, looking at the light spots and bubbles in front of him. These are their own ability to settle down in this world and must be taken seriously. But since every gifter has the world gift ability, why does he have only one dual soul?

　　 "Am I too greedy?"

　　 Jenkins suddenly thought his idea was funny, maybe the world only recognizes one Jenkins.

　　The light spots and bubbles are distributed regularly in front of the eyes, the most central is the light spot, and then the bubbles surround a circle, and the outermost are two simple strokes [gifts]. As far as I learned today, [Gifts] can bless certain abilities, but they have not yet been discovered.

　　 Feeling a little tired, Jenkins let the vision disappear, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, then got up and opened the curtains. It was dark outside, and only the lights of the neighbors' houses continued to work. The dim and tidy Privet Road is as peaceful as in the past, and nothing has been changed by the arrival of a certain traverser.

　　 In addition to the necessary furniture in the bedroom, there are many large books. Very few of them are the study books that the old William bought for his son, and the rest are legendary novels and the like.

　　 This era is an era of peace and progress, so the cultural industry is also booming, the original owner Jenkins was deeply attracted by those stories.

Jenkins simply rubbed the backs of the neatly placed books with his hands. Although the inherited memory was a little vague even on the way home from the church, the content of these books was very clear. Jenkins can even say now. The middle section on page 34 of the fifth book of the "Detective Knight Biography" that you hold with your fingers is an excellent self-generating side dish.

　　 "Qualified young people."

　　 Jenkins took out the third volume of "The Detective Knight's Biography" while thinking about it. Very good, it is a book by Wayne Press. This is the codebook that Mr. Hood chose when the legal party is over. It seems that there is no need to buy it specially.

　　 Jenkins is still not used to getting along with his new parents, so after dinner just now, he went back to the room early on the excuse that he was too tired today. He was going to look for the original owner's belongings and went to sleep after confirming that his memory was correct, but he didn't expect that his door was knocked.

　　 put down the carefully preserved novel in his hand, he opened the door. Outside the door was John Williams in slippers, with a box entangled in ribbons in his hands.

"Something wrong?"

　　 While talking, Jenkins let his brother into the house. John nodded, put the box on the desk, and saw the novel.

　　 "Don't read this kind of book too much, it hurts your body."

　　 He seems to have misunderstood something, Jenkins showed a helpless expression.

　　 Wait, how does he know what's inside?

　　 "Jenkins, congratulations on finding your own job. Although your second brother does not have the same reading skills as my elder brother and me, I believe you must also have your own talent."

　　 "You are easily beaten when you talk like this."

　　 Jenkins thought this way, and his face showed half shyness and half anger.

　　 "John, please pay attention to the tone of speaking with brother."
