Chapter Thirty-Eight: Digestion and Playfulness
Looking at Chris, whose eyes were getting rounder and rounder, Oliver shook his head, "That's why it's called 'Pocket Watch for Money', and you can call it 'Pocket Watch for Money'..."
Where is this greed for money, this is especially robbery!
Chris didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but he made up his mind to pay attention to it, and if he could, he would definitely not use it.
Then he looked up sharply and looked at Oliver, and his voice trembled for a while: "Is it alive?"
Otherwise, how can it be said to "feed"? It can swallow gold coins?
"This pocket watch does have some 'living' qualities, but it's been sealed a little harshly by my friend, so you don't have to worry about it at all. As for each use......"
As he spoke, Oliver took out a gold pound from the drawer and reached for the pocket watch in his hand.
After a few seconds of stillness, I saw a yellow light emanating from the pocket watch, and in Chris's heartbeat, I saw that the hollowed-out one-eye on the watch cover blinked, and the gold coin in Oliver's hand disappeared in an instant.
"That's fine, the next time you use it, you don't have to throw gold coins at it, its biggest advantage is that it is greedy enough, and the number of uses can be accumulated. ”
Chris took the pocket watch handed by the teacher with some trembling tremors, and moved his eyes from it with difficulty, asking the teacher about the questions left over from the last time.
"Last time, you talked about the importance of potion digestion, so what is the correct and perfect 'digestion'?"
"This is the core question of the promotion of the Extraordinary, and the answer to this question is also what my teacher told me many years ago, when I first became an Extraordinary. ”
"Teacher's teacher?"
"Yes, my teacher, Gilbert Giles, was the archbishop of Arnold and a friend of Arnold the Great in his youth, but after Arnold the Great's death, the teacher also disappeared. ”
The teacher's teacher turned out to be that strange ...... Well, a friend of the great and legendary Arnold the Great, it's a pity that he's been missing for so long, otherwise we could have talked a little bit about that fellow countryman.
Oliver didn't bask in the grief of the teacher's disappearance, but continued:
"And as far as I know, not many extraordinary people know this answer. Of course, I'm only talking about most of the mid-to-low-level extraordinaires, and demigods who can step into the high-level sequence must know this method.
Moreover, this method is generally in the hands of the Seven Orthodox Churches and some other secret organizations. Most of the wild extraordinaries are also unclear as they are taught by senior leaders to those who have accumulated enough meritorious deeds or made significant contributions, and are required to swear in front of the gods that they will never be revealed. ”
Seeing that Chris was also nervous, Oliver didn't sell it, and said directly:
"This method of digesting potions accurately and quickly is the 'Trick Method'!
"Whenever the Extraordinary has just been promoted to the next level, our spirituality will overflow, and the risk of losing control will become extremely high. And only by slowly digesting the potions in our bodies will the risk of losing control be greatly reduced.
"Based on the name of each sequence of potions, we can roughly guess some of the abilities and characters of that sequence, and then by playing the corresponding roles, we can speed up our digestion of potions. But the specific rules of play need to be summarized by ourselves.
Of course, if there is an extraordinary person who has successfully played the sequence, and you happen to trust the other person very much, and the other person is willing to share it with you, then you can also try to refer to the other person's rules of playing.
"However, I still suggest that you summarize it yourself, because I think that every extraordinary person, even if it is the same pathway and the same sequence, the extraordinary characteristics in our body will not be completely identical. After all, no two leaves are the same, and no two extraordinary properties are the same.
"In the same sequence, the more potions are digested, the more extraordinary abilities you will master. When you move up to the next level, not only will you gain new extraordinary abilities, but your previous extraordinary abilities will also be strengthened accordingly. ”
After giving Chris a few minutes to digest and think about it, Oliver continued:
"It's very important for you to have an extraordinary path ahead. After you've played it to a certain extent, you'll have a very obvious sense of complete control over the potion, which is your spirituality reminding you that you've "fully digested" the potion.
"At this time, you can determine whether you have really digested it completely through the divination energy of 'greed for money', after all, each of us can deceive ourselves, both physically and spiritually. If you don't fully digest and force the next sequence, the risk of getting out of control is basically close to 90%. ”
Seeing that Chris had understood what he had just said, Oliver said:
You can also share this content with your friends in the future, but you have to remember that you have to make sure that it is really a friend who will not harm you. By the way, have those two of your little friends chosen the extraordinary path they want?"
Chris looked at the teacher with a hesitant expression: "Just like yesterday's choice, Bonnie chose the 'doctor' path, and Bert chose the 'listener' path......
"Teacher, is the 'listener' approach really very dangerous?"
"As far as I know, there are definitely dangers, but as long as they are well avoided, there is no major problem. ”
Oliver looked at the clock in his office, took out a copy of the Federenburg Financial Journal from a drawer, spread it out, handed it to Chris, and pointed to one of the advertisements in the gap:
"Yesterday someone posted in this newspaper a gathering of the Wild Extraordinary, would you like to check it out? ”
Chris looked at the ad and wrote:
"The owner of our 'Alva' soap factory is in dire need of a sum of money, so we have decided to hold a private auction at 22 rue de Denis at 2 p.m. on the 13th of this month. ”
Isn't the 13th of this month tomorrow?
Chris looked at the ad for a few minutes, then looked at the teacher without answering:
"Isn't this just an advertisement for a factory? How do you know it's a gathering of wild extraordinary?"
Oliver smiled and explained:
"Do you know that the 'Alva' soap factory is on the verge of bankruptcy due to technical problems? As long as you are a right-headed investor, you will not bid for a factory with little value. ”
Looking at Chris, who was still hesitant, Oliver pointed to the advertisement:
"You put together the first and last letters of each line and see what it is?"
Chris looked at the newspaper again, read it silently a few times, and was shocked:
"The official extraordinaire is*. ”
Chris couldn't help but stop reading the last word, and didn't dare to pronounce it.
Now, Chris knew why the teacher was sure, the initiator of this party activity was really bold, but it would also greatly eliminate the concerns of the wild extraordinary.
Chris was a little speechless, and then asked:
"Aren't they afraid of the Constant Sun and the official Extraordinaries of the Church of the Gods of Machines and Wisdom discovering it?"
Oliver laughed and said, "In the church of Ireland, most of the meetings of such wild and extraordinary people are turned a blind eye, and in most cases, people will be sent to attend this kind of meeting, and the participants and things traded in it will be secretly recorded, and they will go back to the church to report to the church, so that they can be registered." ”
Is this for better supervision, after all, it's better to block than to sparse...... Chris thought, feeling like the Wild Extraordinary is like an official captive pig.
"Wouldn't we be exposing ourselves then?"
"Naturally not, every extraordinary person must have a disguise there, not only to guard against the official extraordinary, but also to guard against every other participant. ”
"Disguise?"
"Yes, but at your height......" Oliver shook his head, glancing at his student's thin size, "I suggest you disguise yourself as a diminutive lady." ”
Disguise yourself as a lady!
How is this possible!
How can this be!
"I suggest you go to the clothing store and buy a wig and a wide hooded cape, and then you just don't talk and watch, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
Chris looked at Oliver with some despair, and his voice trembled a little:
"Teacher, is this really okay? Does it have to be this way?"
