1 Chapter 1: An Owl Whose Job is a Postman
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines through the gap in the curtains and landed on the sleeping face of a teenager. Albert hasn't awakened yet but will be awakened soon.
The door to the bedroom on the second floor was quietly pushed open. A brown-haired girl stuck her head in, staring at the sleeping teenager on the bed, and whispered:
"Albert, it's time to get up."
Seeing that the teenager on the bed did not respond, the girl pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, opened the door and walked in with a British shorthair cat behind her.
"Hehe, Tom, come up here."
The girl placed the cat on the bed, gently picked up the cat's tail, and swept the boy's face twice.
Albert, who was still asleep, caught the cat's tail that was on his face, opened his eyes and looked at his naughty sister, stretched out his hand to cover a yawn, and said hello, "Good morning Nia"
"Dad said he will take us to London today." Nia looked at Albert and said, "To take you to order Eton College1 uniforms and buy the items on the list on the way."
"Okay, I will change my clothes and wash up first." Albert took another yawn, picked up the cat that was stretching its paws on the sheet, and put it on the floor. He stretched his waist and started to change clothes. Then wash up and go to the dining room to have breakfast.
"You stayed up again last night?" Daisy put a plate of hearty breakfast in front of Albert.
"Son, we need to move faster. Today's schedule is a bit full." Herbert spread the letter from Eton College on the table, with a proud smile on his face.
As we all know, private schools in the UK are the place that train elites and Eton College is one of the best. To enter this school, you must meet two points: talent and wealth.
The Andersons can be considered a middle-class family in the UK. The husband and wife run a law firm, and the family has some savings.
As for Albert, he is a genius in everyone's eyes. Not only does he have outstanding grades, but he has also participated in many inter-school competitions and has won many awards.
Whether Albert is really a genius like many people think, only he himself knows.
Genius? No, Albert never considered himself a genius. He has a big secret that no one knows. He is a traverser.
As for why other people consider him a genius, he didn't know.
A child who doesn't know what Rubik's Cube is but can easily put together a messy three-by-three Rubik's Cube. In the eyes of most adults, this is a genius.
In fact, he can make a good Rubik's Cube because he has played it in a previous life and knows how it works, so he knows how to make one.
As for how to maintain the image of a genius, Albert doesn't worry at all that he will be exposed, because he has the legendary golden finger2!
Transmigrators have their own golden fingers, online novels didn't deceive me.
Speaking of this, when Albert was seven years old, he found a game screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
The game screen has two major functions, the first is giving him missions and the second is showing his skills.
Experience or skill points can be obtained after completing the missions. Experience can be used to improve skills, and skill points will directly improve skills by one level.
The first skill Albert get was English Language Proficiency, and it took him many years to improve this skill to level 3.
If it is said that the English proficiency of ordinary British people is Level 2, the average English teacher is Level 3.
As long as his technical skills are improved to the 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 previous life, he liked to read books and eventually became an ordinary online novelist.
He has written a few books and has small savings. He has a carefree life and can do what he like every day.
In other words, the previous life was actually a salted fish3.
As for how he gets transmigrated? He doesn't know.
One day, he leaned on the sofa while watching Mr. Bean's movie. He grabbed an apple and bite it. Because the movie was so funny, he forgot to chew the apple in his mouth. As the result, at the age of thirty years old, he choked himself to death with apple chunks.
After waking up again, he found that he had become a baby. After spending many years in this house, he raised a cat again, also named Tom.
Of course, the name actually comes from that cat and mouse cartoon.
When he was seven years old, the game screen suddenly appeared, making Albert doubt his life, and even once wondered if he was an NPC in a certain game.
Later, I never found a creature like the player, so I took the game screen as the gospel of the transmigrator.
A transmigrator that has a golden finger is equal to the winner of life.
Albert has no big ambitions. He feels that it is best for him to have a few relationships in adulthood and have a simple and easy job after graduating from college. It is best to get married before the age of 30 and earn enough wealth to squander for a hundred years, allowing him to spend the rest of his life freely and carefree.
In order to realize such a future, Albert has his own plan, he is ready to enter American Wall Street after graduation. Relying on the maxed economic skills, plus the memory of the past life, he believes that he can earn a lot of dollars soon.
However, the skills are not easy to improve, especially after the second level, each level requires a lot of experience.
Albert needs to do tasks to earn experience and skill points, and being admitted to Eton College is one of the tasks.
"Son, what are you thinking?" Herbert cut the steak on the plate with a knife and looked at his son who was in a daze.
"I'm thinking, what will I do in the future?" Albert put the poached egg into his mouth and said after he swallowed it.
"Then what do you want to do in the future?" Daisy asked curiously. The couple rarely heard their children mention their dreams.
"Finance." Albert said without hesitation.
"We thought you would want to be a scientist or an astronaut." Herbert and Daisy looked at each other.
"What is finance?" Nia was very upset that she was excluded from the topic by her family.
"Finance is good for making money." Albert looked up and said, "This time I bought a few books on economics by the way, as an advance birthday gift."
"Son, don't mislead your sister, only powerful guys can make money in this field." Herbert's face twitched and he coughed slightly. "Moreover, our family is not poor."
"Okay, eat breakfast and stop talking nonsense." Daisy interrupted, "Nia, remember to drink up all the milk."
"Oh!" Nia didn't like to drink milk very much.
After rebirth, everything is very beautiful. He has a lovely sister, a harmonious family, a prosperous life, and a golden finger that can lead him to the pinnacle of his life.
If there is something the only thing that makes Albert depressed is definitely British food.
In the past, when he read that Britain was hell for foodies on the Internet, he was still dubious. After all, most British people like a simple and comfortable life.
However, after experiencing it in person, he no longer doubts the authenticity of those rumors.
After finishing the meal, help to pack the tableware, close the doors and windows, and the Anderson family is ready to go out as a group.
Albert just opened Ford's car door and was about to sit at the back seat of the car, when suddenly he heard a surprised voice from Nia next to him, "Look, is that an owl?"
The Andersons looked suspiciously in the direction of their daughter's fingers, and saw an owl flying towards this side. As they flew over everyone's heads, they threw a letter at Albert's feet.
At this moment, the expressions on the Anderson family's faces froze.
An Owl, sending a letter?
When did Owls become a part-time postman?
TL note:
1. Eton College: A famous private boarding school in the UK.
2. Golden finger: Slang Cheats in many Chinese transmigration and reincarnation novels.
3. Salted fish: Slang for people that didn't have ambitions or intentions to do anything.
