I became the koi savior of the survival game

Chapter 45 The precious forest theater

It turns out that there are two trading methods in Gordon City, bartering and gold coin trading.

In Gordon Towers, in addition to their original currency properties, gold coins are more inclined to be commodities such as souvenirs, or trophies.

Outside Gordon Towers, the monetary properties of gold coins are even more pure.

Noting that the car Paz drove was an old Ford, Zhen Jinli suspected that the world outside Gordon Towers had a different level of civilization development than inside Gordon Towers.

In order to confirm this, Zhen Jinli asked Paz again: "Has anyone tried to interview for a job in Gordon Tower?"

Paz asked confused: "Interview? What is that?"

"I only know that the animals that can enter the Gordon Tower to work are all selected animals. The other animals that have not been selected cannot enter the Gordon Tower."

Zhen Jinli asked another question: "In other words, Gordon Tower has not recruited new animals as staff since you can remember it, right?"

Paz nodded and said, "Yes, Master Naxue."

"What about the animals inside? Have they ever left Gordon Tower?" Zhen Jinli continued to ask.

Paz thought for a while and said, "A small number of them should have left, but they went back soon. They should just come out to purchase supplies."

"I heard that the welfare benefits in Gordon Tower are very good, but one thing is that once you are selected, you cannot leave your status as a staff member of Gordon Tower unless you die."

Oh, this employee is still employed on a lifetime basis.

"May I ask, Mr. Paz, what is your occupation?"

When Zhen Jinli asked about his profession, Paz replied with some pride.

"I am a stage designer who specializes in creating cool stage effects for theaters."

Zhen Jinli asked again: "Can I go to where you work?"

"Of course." After Paz said that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the theater where he worked.

Two 10 minutes later, the theater arrived.

After Zhen Jinli and Si Yao got out of the car, they saw a decoration style similar to the Broadway theater in country A in the last century. The plaque was engraved with four characters in the form of Yang carving——

Forest Theater.

"Today is a day off, the actors are all taking a break."

Paz introduced the Forest Theater to Zhen Jinli and said, "If Lady Naxue wants to watch the theater performance, you can come back next Monday."

Zhen Jinli asked curiously: "How many days do you work a week? How many days do you take off?"

Paz replied: "We work three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the rest are breaks."

“But even during my downtime, I need to come up with new stage ideas at home.”

"The same goes for dancers. They usually practice their lines and performances at home."

"There are usually about three rehearsals before a major performance, usually during the day and the official performance at night."

“Monday, Wednesday is cabaret, and Friday is theater.”

Zhen Jinli couldn't help but ask: "Such a big theater is open three days a week? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Paz smiled when he heard this: "Oh, this is impossible. The ticket price of the theater is enough to offset the daily operating expenses of the theater."

"In the city of Gordon, the Forest Theater is the most prosperous and lively place besides Gordon Tower."

It turns out that the fare is expensive, Zhen Jinli thought.

No wonder Paz has the financial resources to buy a house and a car. It turns out that the theater where he works is a high-consumption place.

It seems that this forest theater is quite popular in the eyes of animal NPCs.

However, it is understandable that the level of civilization development in the world outside Gordon Tower is only about the level of Country A in the mid-[-]th century.

Everyone has neither mobile phones nor computers, so the only way to entertain themselves is to go to the theater.

There is only one entertainment venue in Gordon City that serves animal NPCs. Rare things are more expensive, and the ticket prices for theater performances are naturally high.

Zhen Jinli asked: "Can I have a look at the script for the theater performance? If the script is confidential, you can give me a rough outline."

Paz said: "No problem, the script is not important. In fact, the script is just a well-known legend in Gordon City."

Zhen Jinli flipped through the script that Paz found for her, and found that it contained some very simple legends.

For example, a certain squirrel did a good deed and received a commendation from the forest goddess, and finally received the holy medicine to cure his seriously ill mother.

Another example is that a parrot was unable to speak because of damaged vocal cords. There was a forest fire and he flew back anxiously to tell everyone, but he was anxious because he could not speak.

In the end, the parrot chose to burn its feathers with fire to convey a message to everyone.

The Forest Goddess was very moved when she heard about the parrot, so she blessed the parrot with its beautiful feathers and was able to speak from then on.

Anyway, it is to convey some good qualities, such as good deeds are rewarded, willingness to contribute, etc., plus the legendary stories of various blessings and awards from the forest goddess.

After reading it, Zhen Jinli was silent for a moment and asked Paz a question.

"Um, doesn't the parrot know how to read?"

Can't it write?
Paz shook his head and said: "Only a few animals in Gordon City can read and write, and even fewer animals can engage in creative and creative work."

Zhen Jinli nodded thoughtfully: "That's it."

No wonder Paz's job is so lucrative, things are rare and expensive.

Zhen Jinli suddenly thought of a very important question: "It's convenient to ask, what is the purchasing power of seven hundred gold coins in Gordon City?"

Paz touched his chin and thought about it seriously, then said, "It's probably my weekly salary."

In order to explain purchasing power more appropriately, Paz gave another explanation.

"My salary level is definitely among the top one percent in the entire Gordon City."

"I once asked that even some of the animals working in Gordon Towers are not paid as much as me."

Oh, it seems that Mr. Paz is still a well-paid person.

So if she wrote some real-world fairy tale scripts for these animals, wouldn't she make a lot of money?
A feeling of eagerness to try came to her heart. Zhen Jinli turned to look at Si Yao and asked in a low voice.

"Si Yao, how many fairy tales do you remember?"

Si Yao thought for a while and said, "Well, I still remember the story of Snow White and Cinderella. At most, I can add a little mermaid."

"It's okay, that's enough." Zhen Jinli said with an OK gesture.

Even Si Yao remembers fairy tales, which is enough to illustrate the strong vitality of IP in these stories.

Zhen Jinli first briefly told Paz the story of Snow White, and then asked.

"Have you heard this story?"
