Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 2 Exchange Meditation

? ?
During the days when he didn't go out, so many things happened in the city-state of Custer?

Isn't this tricking him?

However, how did the liaison officer on the opposite side know?
Were there other intelligence officers in Custer?
Wei En guessed this in his mind, but he put on a bitter and regretful expression on his face, "Dear Liaison Officer, please forgive me for my incompetence, and pray that you give me another chance..."

"Actually, I also discovered that the sources of intelligence are poor, so today I successfully passed the interview and joined a newspaper company in order to better serve the Ghost School."

The figure froze for a moment, "You joined the newspaper? What newspaper did you join?"

"...It's a small newspaper."

"name!"

How could anyone get to the bottom of it like this?

Wei En lied: "The Custer Trade Union is a newspaper that specializes in serving trade unions..."

click!
The liaison officer almost gritted his teeth, "Trade union newspaper? Thank you for thinking of it! Such a rubbish newspaper, what useful information can it have? At least it should be the bulletin of the city-state council, and the weekly church newspaper is useful."

"Well, their review is too strict..." Wei En whispered.

Seeing that faint blue flame erupting suddenly, the piercing chill spread, so that he didn't freeze to death.

"enough!"

Wei En quickly lowered his head, the sweat on his body had frozen into ice, leaving a layer of white frost on his forehead.

What are you doing now?

The liaison officer looked like he was going to kill him.

What he didn't know was that - the same question also appeared in the liaison officer's mind at this time.

The emotions are all here, and it seems unreasonable not to do something...

It took a long time before she made up her mind, "Well, in view of your recent poor performance, I decided to punish you!"

Punishment?

It's okay, okay, punishment is better than losing your life.

"You haven't become an apprentice in the school yet, have you?"

Wei En was waiting to hear the result of the punishment. He did not expect the other party to ask such a question, and he replied cautiously: "My lord, I am going to exchange for basic meditation methods... if you don't deduct my salary."

"deduct salary?"

The liaison officer was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and glared at him: "Do you think I will deduct 6 pence from you?"

"Of course not. I believe that you are as wise as you are, and you will definitely teach me a profound lesson instead of deducting a mere 6p."

The liaison officer took a deep breath. If she continued talking, she was afraid that she would be unable to resist using spells.

"In order for you to remember this lesson, I decided to assign a task for you!"

task?

Wei En raised his head with difficulty and looked at the figure in the flames and said, "Please tell me, no matter what the task is, I will gladly accept it and complete it with all my strength."

"I need you to investigate the disappearance case in the slum area three days ago. Time... Well, I will give you two days! After two days, I hope to see the results of the investigation on the disappearance case!"

Investigate ghettos?
Wei En thought about what he encountered in the slums two days ago and the system prompts behind him... He couldn't help but shudder, his eyes full of fear.

"Sir, can you change the mission?"

"You don't want to accept this mission?"

"no no……"

The liaison officer said impatiently: "Whether you want it or not, this is your punishment. Either accept the mission, or I will make you a missing person like those people now!"

"...No, I accept your punishment." Wei En said helplessly.

It's better to muddle through first.

"Remember, you only have two days."

After finishing speaking, the figure dissipated instantly, and the faint blue flame went out.

The "telephone" also returned to standby mode. The blue flame mark on the cup flickered regularly, and a vein of light visible to the naked eye rushed towards the gem switch on the waist, as if it was accumulating energy.

clang,

The sound of several coins falling was heard.

Wei En came back to his senses, slowly straightened his waist, and moved his almost frozen body.

Then he walked forward frowning, opened a blue and white box next to the "telephone", and took out the 6p.

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news..."

The good news is that he has saved enough money, and he can exchange it for basic meditation methods.

The bad news is that the leader discovered the paddling and fishing, and he had no choice but to step out of the room and take the initiative to explore and obtain information.

Thinking of going out, Wei En looked melancholy.

In fact, after he absorbed the memory of his predecessor, he went out.

The first few days were normal, but since he had that attribute panel, everything became weird...

That was two days ago, the second day after peeping at the Deep Vicious Dog. He went to the slums two blocks away - the Laos neighborhood.

There was a bakery there, where he bought a pound of brown bread for threepence.On the way, I went to an open-air circus in the middle of the block to watch a performance for a while.

Everything looks the same as before.

But just after he returned to his residence, he received several reminders like this.

[You are eroded by the power of the nightmare, and your mental level is permanently reduced by 1 level.Comments: You won't be so lucky next time!Special reward: Resilience level +1. 】

[You have won the love of the abyssal creature—the bone-eating mother worm, and it is very eager to reproduce on you!Evaluation: It doesn't mind having a love affair with you across races.Reward: Survival Points +2. 】

[Because your tenacity level is greater than level 8, the attack of bone eating insects failed!Special reward: Resilience level +1. 】

[You are targeted by Mitch Sorenson's killing intent.Evaluation: A parasite parasitized by the bone worm, he is eager to catch you and sacrifice to the bone worm.Reward: Survival Point +1. 】

[You are targeted by Zamir Tapa's killing intent.Rating: A fanatic follower of the Abyss Order who only wants to sacrifice your body and soul.Reward: Survival point +1. 】

[Bone-eating mother worm: The most loving race in the abyss world, it can release "love seeds" - bone-eating worms - on any living creature.Creatures that are successfully attacked by bone-eating insects will lose all their bones in a short period of time.

The Osteum prefers to keep her target's sacs safe, keeping them in her permanent collection. 】

At that time, Wei En was dumbfounded looking at the long list of prompts, especially the content about the bone-eating female worm—this is "good-looking bones are the same, but interesting skins are one in a thousand"?
I have a dog!

Who the hell wants to have an interracial romance with it?

There are also those parasitic species, fanatics of the Abyss Cult... He really didn't expect that there were so many "people with lofty ideals" hidden in the small slums.

In less than two hours, he liked to mention six reminders.

If we go out for a walk again, who knows how many perverts we will encounter?
If he hadn't been eroded by some nightmare force and raised his toughness level by one level, he might have died two days ago.

Therefore,
Before he had the ability to protect himself, Wei En really didn't want to leave this safe house.

The intelligence he submitted these days was all extracted from newspapers, the Custer Union Newspaper he just mentioned.

As for joining a newspaper or something like that, it was just a white lie he spun to protect himself!

In fact, he has safer places to go.

But now, the plan seems to have deviated slightly.

Wei En took a deep breath and dispelled those bad memories. For now, let's work hard to improve his strength and save his life!

With this in mind, he opened his wallet, poured out all the money, piled it on the table, and counted it again.

A banknote with a face value of 1 gold pound, fifteen silver coins of 1 shilling, and 60 copper coins of 1 penny, the total is exactly 2 gold pounds!

Then, he took out a blank application form from the blue and white striped box, and wrote the transaction contract according to the instructions of the "self-service exchange machine".

Although it was difficult to understand the working principles of "typewriters", "telephones" and "self-service exchange machines", his rich knowledge in his previous life allowed him to easily accept these magical items.

Just like this box he called the "self-service exchange machine", it is a machine with the function of teleporting items.

Every time he submits the information, the salary will appear in the box.

In addition, if you want to redeem items from the Ghost School, you also need to use this box.

As at this moment——

"To the respected Lord Kedilhan Harrison, the item management office of the Ghost School! The humble Custer city-state intelligence officer Wayne Loft requests the exchange of basic meditation methods..."

Damn, the format of this transaction contract is very strict.

Except for the name and the items to be redeemed, other contents are printed on the application form and cannot be changed if you want.

Humble?

Humble your uncle!
but,

Wei En could only complain crazily in his heart. If he really questioned him in person, he would probably not survive.

According to the memory of his predecessor, he knew that the director of the item management office was already an official wizard, and the liaison officer just now should only be an apprentice.

However, there are differences between apprentices and apprentices.

In general, anyone who has learned how to meditate can be called an apprentice, also called a junior apprentice.

As for the liaison officer, Wei En speculated that she was at least a senior apprentice, and might even be promoted to a full-time wizard soon.

He didn't know the specific gap, but it was definitely beyond imagination.

Hey, money, money...

If he has money, he can exchange everything on the exchange list at once.

In addition to basic meditation methods, there are also basic knowledge about magic, introduction to runes, introduction to alchemy, introduction to potions, etc. that can be redeemed.

He didn't expect that he would worry about money even after time travel.

After Wei En finished writing the application form and checked it carefully, he carefully put it into the box, along with all his belongings - 2 gold pounds.

After doing this, he closed the box and pressed the start switch on the top of the box.

hum!
After a slight vibration, white stripes of light flashed across the box.

Wayne stared at the box nervously, without blinking.

Don't go wrong, the money is hard-won.

It took more than a hundred years to save enough in the previous life...

If something really goes wrong, where can he get so much money?

Fortunately, after a few minutes, the blue stripe on the box that indicated the presence of items that had not been taken out lit up, which made Wayne's heart drop.

He quickly opened the box and took out the contents - a letter and three rolls of parchment.
