Chapter 143 Entering the Lost Lighthouse
Doris finished her evening shopping and returned to her temporary dormitory.

As soon as she entered, she heard a clinking sound. Looking closer, she saw Celia and Phil sitting at the table counting... silver coins?
Oh, Phil is counting copper coins.

There was a pile of coins in front of them, and they were counting them.

"Where did you get so many silver and copper coins?"

Celia ignored her, and Phil looked up and smiled: "I earned this money today by going out to dispel the pollution for the mercenaries."

"Where is Celia?" Doris asked, looking at the mountain of silver coins in front of Celia.

She roughly estimated there were four or five hundred coins. She was stacking the silver coins and wrapping them with special coin-winding coils, 100 coins per stack.

When Doris asked her a question, Celia didn't answer. Phil answered for her: "Celia is amazing. She helped someone upgrade the linking device of the Puppet Heart and earned ten times my money!"

The pile of money in front of Phil consisted mostly of copper coins, with a small amount of silver coins. It was much thicker than Celia's pile, but its value was significantly lower.

"You... took advantage of this time to make money?" Doris was surprised.

Celia looked up: "With such a bustling market, are we going to spend money instead of making money?"

As she spoke, Celia had already finished counting all the silver coins and was gritting her teeth.

"Damn it, I only got 410 silver coins. Someone shortchanged me by 10 silver coins. If I find out, I'll make them pay!"

Tonight she upgraded a total of 8 connecting devices. The first two were half price, and the rest were 60 silver coins each, so she should have earned 420 silver coins. However, after counting, she was 10 silver coins short.

Ten silver coins equal 1200 copper coins and 240 loaves of bread—a huge sum of money!
The girl is heartbroken.

Doris pouted and said, "What's so heartbreaking about 10 silver coins? Come and follow me, and I'll give you 10 gold coins a day."

Celia rolled her eyes at her, put away the silver coins, and was about to go to sleep when Benovia, who was reading a book nearby, suddenly said, "Celia, are you planning to do this to earn money throughout the trial period?"

Celia looked at the other person and nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"

Benovia said, "Carrying so many silver coins is a bit inconvenient. If you need them, you can exchange them for gold coins with me. I'll give you a 1:10 exchange rate."

Celia's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Benovia nodded. "Of course, I also want to make some money. I'll earn 10 silver coins from you for every 1 gold coin I make."

“No problem, 20 silver coins are fine!” Celia happily agreed and immediately exchanged 3 gold coins with her.

It's said that you can earn 10 silver coins from her, based on the official exchange rate, but everyone knows that the official exchange channel is practically non-existent. No matter how early you go to wait, you'll always get the answer "the exchange is over."

The exchange rate among the general public is over 120. Benovia may have an official exchange channel, but a rate of 110 is just giving money away to her, and there's no reason for Celia to refuse.

Of course, if Benovia had said 100%, Celia would never have agreed.

Even if it's 110... it's still a bit high. If Benovia needs help in the future, it will definitely be harder for her to refuse.

However, Celia had already asked the other party for help many times, so one more time wouldn't make a difference...

After carefully putting away the 3 gold coins she received from Benovia, Celia climbed into her bed and closed her eyes, lost in daydreams about tomorrow.

Earning so much every day, when you go back, not only will your savings be back to 100 gold coins, but you'll also have a chance to gain another 50 gold coins!

The next morning, a very loud broadcast came from the school camp, penetrating all the dormitories and reaching the ears of all the sleeping students, waking them up.

Meanwhile, Celia and the others were already fully prepared to depart. Doris, as the team leader, had already gotten up before the announcement and woke everyone up in her capacity as team leader.

Fortunately, the candidates for sainthood were all early risers, and they had all woken up before she even called out to them—meaning Doris was the last one to wake up.

While countless students were scrambling to prepare, the five left the camp and made their way to the outside of the ruins.

Upon arriving at this point, Doris stopped, turned around, and said seriously, "Due to the special nature of this ancient ruin, our mentor cannot enter the ruin with us to explore. Everything depends on us. Once inside, I hope you will not do anything against our will. After all, we are a team!"

When faced with the ruins, she seemed like a different person, becoming extremely serious and cautious.

No one refuted her, because what she said was indeed true.

Although Celia was very unhappy with her previous smugness, she had no intention of arguing back at this moment.

"Unless Doris is deliberately targeting me inside, I will still follow her orders."

After emphasizing this, Doris briefly arranged everyone's positions. She stood at the front, followed by Celia, Phil, Anko, and Benovia. If necessary, the formation would be changed to a cross shape, with Celia on the left, Anko on the right, and Phil, as the priest, in the middle.

At this moment, the sun peeked over the horizon, and many mercenaries had already appeared around.

As the five entered the ruins, something seemed to change around them; a thick fog enveloped them from behind, obscuring their view.

Celia glanced at it only once and then stopped paying attention, continuing to follow Doris.

This is the outer area, surrounded by jungle, where many dangerous monsters lurk, but none of them pose a danger to them.

Soon, they crossed the jungle area, arrived at the fence, and then crossed the fence to officially enter the detection range of the lost lighthouse.

This is not flat terrain; the fence does not lead to the beach, but rather to the area behind it.

"There is a small hill in front of us. It is very easy to spot from the top, so we need to go through a narrow gap at the foot of the hill to reach the beach area."

"From here on, the journey will become extremely dangerous. The special pollution from the ancient ruins will condense into monsters that will attack anyone who passes by."

Roar!
As soon as Doris finished speaking, a roar came from the side.

Then, a tiger-like monster with black eyes emerged from the bushes and lunged at Celia in the middle with its gaping maw.

Just as Celia was about to make her move, a fiery red figure appeared beside her, wielding a greatsword engulfed in flames, which had already struck the tiger's sturdy skull.

Boom!
With a loud bang, flames burst forth from the tiger's body, while Doris's puppet was knocked back several steps by the force of the impact.

As the burning tiger appeared, several pairs of black eyes slowly emerged around it.

"wind!"

Doris gave a soft shout, bestowing upon everyone and the puppet a swift wind-elemental blessing.

"Run straight towards the beach! Don't stop, gather the charging monsters together and eliminate them once you reach the beach!"

After saying that, she ran towards the crevice, with Celia and the others following closely behind.

The opened eyes revealed their forms as they emerged from their hiding place and charged toward the five running men.
