The Owl Postman
In
the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and
reflected on the sleeping face of a young boy. Albert hasn't woken up yet, but will
be awakened soon.
The
door on the second floor by the stairs was quietly pushed open, then a brown-haired
girl stuck her head in, her big brown eyes stared at the boy who was still
sleeping on the bed, and whispered, "Albert, it's time to get up."
Seeing
that the boy on the bed did not respond, the girl pouted in dissatisfaction,
pushed open the door and walked in, followed by a British shorthair cat.
"Tom, please." The girl put
the shorthair cat on the bed, gently picked up the cat's tail, and swept the
boy's face twice.
Originally, Albert, who was still
sleeping, stretched out the cat's tail on his face, opened his eyes to look at
his naughty sister, stretched out his hand to cover a yawn, and said hello,
"Good morning, Nia!"
"Dad
said that he will take us to London today." Nia blinked, looked at Albert
and said, "Go and custom-made Eton College's school uniform for you, and
buy the items on the list on the way."
"Okay, got it, I'll change my
clothes." Albert covered his yawn again, picked up the shorthair cat that
was stretching its claws on the sheet, put it on the ground, stretched out, and
started changing clothes, Then wash up and head to the living room for
breakfast.
"Stayed
up late last night again?" Daisy put the hearty breakfast on the plate in
front of Albert's table.
"Son,
we'd better hurry up, today's schedule is a bit full." Herb spread out the
letter from Eton College that arrived the other day on the table with a proud
smile on his face.
As
we all know, private schools in the UK are places that cultivate elites, and
Eton College is one of the best among them. To enter this school, you must meet two points: talent and
wealth.
The Anderson family belongs to the
middle class in the UK. The husband and wife run a law firm and have a savings
at home.
As for Albert, he is a genius in
everyone's eyes. He not only has excellent grades, but also participated in
many competitions between schools and won awards.
Whether
Albert is an actually genius as people's think, only he knows.
genius?
No, Albert never considered himself a
genius. Albert has a big unknown secret, he is a transmigrator.
As
for why he was named a genius, he himself was inexplicable.
A
child who doesn't know what a Rubik's Cube is, but can easily solve a messed up
Rubik's Cube.
In the eyes of most adults, this is
genius.
In
fact, the reason why he can solve the Rubik's Cube well is because he has
played it in his previous life and knows the secret of the Rubik's Cube, so he
knows how to solve it well.
As
for how to maintain the image of a genius, Albert isn’t worried that he will be
exposed, because he has the legendary golden finger!
Transmigrators
have their own golden fingers, and online novels will not deceive me.
Speaking
of this, when Albert was seven years old, he found ou that a interface suddenly
appeared in his brain.
The
interface has two major functions, accepting tasks and adding skills.
Sometimes
there will be some quests, and after completing the quests, you can get
experience or skill points, experience can be used to improve skills, and skill
points can directly improve the skill level.
The first skill Albert possessed was
English proficiency, and it took him years to get to level 3.
If it is said that the English
proficiency of ordinary British is level 2, the average English teacher is
level 3.
As long as the technical skills are increased
to max, Albert can become a genius scientist.
Of course, Albert never wanted to be
a scientist, nor did he have such a desire in his previous life.
In his last life, he liked to read
books, and finally became an ordinary online novelist.
I have
written a few books, and I had a small savings. I lived a carefree life and did
what I liked every day.
In
other words, int the previous life he was actually a salted fish.
As
for how did he pass through?
I’m ashamed
to say.
But one
day, while he was leaning on the sofa to watch Mr. Bean's movie. He grabbed an
apple and ate it. Because the movie was so funny, he forgot to chew the apple
in his mouth. As a result, he was choked to death by an apple. At thirty years
old.
After waking up again, I found myself
turned into a baby. After stumbled in this house for many years, I raised a new
cat, also named Tom.
Of
course, the name actually comes from the cartoon Tom and Jerry.
At
the age of seven, the game interface suddenly appeared, which made Albert begin
to doubt his life, and even once doubted whether he was an NPC in a certain
game.
Later,
I had never found a creature like a player, so I regarded the interface as the golden
finger of a transmigrator.
Combining time-travel and golden
fingers is equal to a winner in life.
Albert doesn't have big ambitions. He
thinks it's best to have a few relationships as an adult and have a simple and
easy job after college. It's better to get married before the
age of thirty and earn enough wealth to squander in his late years, allowing
him to spend the rest of his life free and carefree.
In
order to realize such a future, Albert already has his own plans, and he is
ready to enter The Wall Street in the United States after
graduation. Relying on maxing the economic skills, plus the residual
memory of the previous life, I believe that I can make a tons of dollars soon.
However,
the interface skills are not easy to upgrade, especially after the second
level, each level requires a lot of experience.
Albert
needs to do tasks in order to earn experience and skill points, and being
admitted to Eton College is one of the tasks.
"Son,
what are you thinking?" Herb cutting the steak on a plate with a knife
turned the head and looked at his son who was in a daze.
"I
was thinking, about what i will do in the future" Albert put the poached
egg into his mouth, swallowed it, and said.
"Then what do you want to do in
the future?" Daisy asked curiously. The couples rarely hear their children
mentioning their dreams.
"Finance." Albert said
without hesitation.
"We thought you would want to be
a scientist or an astronaut." The Andersons looked at each other.
"What is finance?" Nia was
unhappy that she was excluded from the conversation by her family.
"Finance
is better to make money." Albert raised his head and said, "This
time, by the way, help me buy a few books on economics as a prepaid birthday
present."
"Son,
don't mislead your sister, only talented guys can make money in this
field." Herb's face twitched, he clenched his fist and covered his mouth
and coughed lightly, "Also, our family is not poor."
"Okay, eat breakfast and stop
talking nonsense." Daisy interrupted, "Nia, remember to drink up all
the milk."
"Oh!" Nia doesn't like
drinking milk very much.
After the rebirth, everything is
beautiful, with a lovely sister, a harmonious family, a prosperous life, and a
golden finger that can make him reach the pinnacle of life.
The
only thing that upsets Albert is definitely British food.
In the past, he was dubious when it
was said on the Internet that Britain was a food desert. After
all, most British people like a simple and comfortable life.
However,
after experiencing it firsthand, there is no longer any doubt about the
veracity of those descriptions.
After the meal was over, help clear
up the tableware, close the doors and windows, and the Anderson family was
ready to go out together.
Albert
just opened the Ford's door and was about to get into the back seat of the car
when he suddenly heard a surprised voice from Nia next to him, "Look, isn’t
it an owl?"
The Andersons looked in the direction
of their daughter's fingers suspiciously, and saw an owl flying towards this
side, passing a letter over the heads of everyone, and throwing a letter at
Albert's feet.
At this moment, the expressions on
the Anderson family's faces froze.
An owl,
delivering a letter?
When
did an owl also start working as a part-time postman?
