Thirty-seven. The confrontation with the professor
The sequence potion in the stomach bag, the sequence potion placed on the alchemy rack, and they are all double copies. The value of these sequence potions is enough to hire a team on the ranking list for several months.
But now it sounds like Lu Li can do more than that.
"Can you afford more potions?" Kiruit said.
"Um."
"Okay, we know you are rich... but are you sure you want to invest all your assets in the team? I mean... maybe the team's monthly salary cannot afford to buy a top 100 serial potion."
"Not all."
"It's not all about how much..." Jaeger couldn't help lowering his voice.
A terrifying number that is difficult to digitize.
"I can buy the entire Giant Tree Academy." Lu Li said, or the entire human world.
"Giant Tree Academy is priceless." Yeager suddenly paused, his tone full of disbelief: "Is this what you mean?"
"almost."
The more trade a merchant conducts, the more Lu Li's wealth is linked to real currency. In other words, the closer his string of numbers are to real existence.
"How many millions?" Naxi asked tentatively.
"More."
The Holy Light Team struggled to change the topic away from Lu Li's wealth and returned to the first mission itself.
Nav proposed patrolling the surface buffer zone, but Kiruait and Yeager rejected it at the same time.
"There are countless weird things out there who want to kill Lu Li. Going to the surface is not a good choice..."
Excluding surface missions, there are not many options left, either inter-level patrols or patrols outside restricted areas.
"I thought of a suitable task." Kiruaite said: "Investigate the incident in Midnight City."
Midnight City, a new city after Midnight City moved underground.
As the sanctuary of the Midnight Lady, Midnight City is guarded by the five major knights, and there are also countless religious groups gathered here, which are coveted by strange people and difficult to set foot in.
"What do you think?" Kiruait waited for Lu Li to decide.
"Can."
"I'll go to the mission hall to find a suitable mission." Kiruait left the round table.
Naxi stood up in panic: "I'm with you."
"Me too...hiss." Yeager breathed as he pulled the wound on his leg, and was pushed back to his seat by Kiruit.
"Naxi and I will go, and you, Lu Li, will stay too." Kiruait put on his cloak and said, "Your appearance may make those teams even more jealous."
"Bring the potion."
Lu Li opened his stomach bag and rummaged around, and took out two bottles of Serial No. 113 potion before closing the stomach bag again for digestion.
"The protective potion can block weak curses and malice. Drink it now."
"Uh... Then I won't go." Naxi took off his half-dressed cloak again, unwilling to consume one more potion.
Kiruait did not refuse and took protective medicine before setting off. She did not doubt the middle class's ill will towards the Holy Light Team at this moment.
After Kiruaite left the lounge, Lu Li opened the eyeball wooden box. While waiting for the arrival of the businessman Anthony, he asked Naxi: "Tell me about Midnight City."
Naxi is a resident of Midnight City, and his family all lives in the inner city of Midnight City.
Because of the migration from the surface to the underground, the residents of Midnight City, or Midnight City, were redistributed...
Divided into everlasting classes.
The powerful and the controllers of mysterious power live in Central City, which is the core of Midnight City. The headquarters of the five major knights, the Church of the Midnight Lady, the Alchemist Association, and the Caveman General Trading Company are all located here, and residents of the outer cities cannot set foot there.
The inner city, the glue of Midnight City, is also where the prosperity lies. Residents of the central city can come here, and residents of the outer city can also come here. Most of the down-and-out nobles, most religious orders, middle class or businessmen, and students of Giant Tree Academy live here.
's family.
The outer city is the vastest and most populous area of Midnight City.
Every moment, people from the dark fields or old sewers or further away move in, and every moment, lucky people become residents of the inner city from the outer city. That is where all the poor and homeless people stay.
It is also the most chaotic area in Midnight City.
Because the remaining sects and the new church harvest the faith and incubate the gods here, and also because the new citizens arriving every moment bring hidden dangers to Midnight City.
Chaos is only a relative term. Even outside Midnight City, it can bring more security than the town of the gods.
Most of the late-night city investigation tasks issued by Jushu Academy are related to the outer city. Occasionally they appear in the inner level, but they are no longer tasks that can be handled by middle or senior students. The monsters that sneak into the inner city are obviously more difficult to deal with and more dangerous.
The Holy Light Team has experience in several Midnight City investigation missions. After receiving the mission, they go to the mission location, search, investigate, find the problem, and then return to Giant Tree Academy to submit the results, or stay to solve the problem.
The latter will increase the reward due to difficulty, but the Holy Light team all chose to return to submit the task after completing the investigation.
Because the Holy Light Team is not strong enough, and also because they have been unlucky enough to encounter weirdos in several of their investigation missions. For example, weirdos disguised as humans, or occupying human bodies, or items that store weird consciousness.
This division of labor reminded Lu Li of investigators.
This was the division of labor between the three major organizations in the old days: investigators investigated incidents, and night watchmen handled incidents.
Although the division of investigation tasks is limited by student strength.
Merchant Anthony arrived a little slower than usual. In addition to answering Lu Li's call, he brought a message.
"Chris let you go, now."
Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to prepare 4 more stomach bags and 8 sets of sequence potions. Yeager and Naxi left the lounge with their thoughts in mind and headed to the upper level alchemy office for senior students.
"Is it prepared for us?"
After Lu Li left, Naxi's question sounded quietly in the quiet lounge.
"Captain, you, me, Margaery...that substitute, I think so."
"Lu Li is really generous..."
They are far wealthier now than when Margaret was still alive. In other words, there is no team in the entire Giant Tree Academy that is more luxurious than them.
But they quickly became depressed.
The Holy Light Team would rather Margaret had not died.
…
Knock knock knock
"Come in honey."
Lu Li opened the door and walked into the Alchemy Office.
"It seems that you like life in the trunk area very much." Professor Chris, who was arranging her long hair in front of the dressing table, looked at Lu Li in the mirror: "Otherwise, why did it take you so long to come see me?"
"Have the controllers arrived?" Lu Li ignored Professor Chris's coquettish tone.
"Another thing. The Knights found clues about the merchant in Midnight City."
"There's more."
Lu Li didn't think that this was the only reason why Professor Chris called him over.
"The guy who collects the merchant has made a request. He hopes to meet you."
"it?"
"A guy who lives in the inner city, is not human, and likes humans. He may say things that embarrass you, but he won't hurt you."
"Can."
The beautiful face in the mirror narrowed her eyes: "Can you tie up my hair for me?"
"Can't."
…
Returning to the Holy Light Team lounge, Kiruait has returned from accepting the mission.
