For all this, Zhao Yueru, who was holding the slime in her arms, was unconscious, and just walked towards the campus workshop firmly, where she was responsible for the repair of all the training equipment of the academy, and hoarded a lot of metal.

The onlookers who ate melons were at least right, their own slimes had been in a coma since they were summoned, and for some reason.

But from the perspective of the soul contract connection, it is clear that its spirit is fluctuating violently all the time.

And the strangest thing is that he is only a low-level slime, but the intensity of that mental fluctuation is almost comparable to that of a high-level magician.

I consulted Mentor Kang Lianqing, but the mentor couldn't say why, and only roughly judged that it might not be a bad thing, and this slime may be evolving.

The mentor finally advised, "You can find some high-quality metal for it to try, which may stimulate its nerves, and provide it with the needs for evolution." ”

When Zhao Yueru was about to go out, the mentor thought for a while and added: "It's best not to receive it into the contract space during this time, that would not be conducive to evolution." ”

......

Many, many years later, Xu Ziyi, who was already a famous general of the Republic in the universe, after a big victory, was excited, drank a little too much, faced reporters, sighed when he mentioned that chance encounter, and was very proud of his decision at that time.

It was the story of a gold coin, it was the highest return in the universe, and General Xu Ziyi called it the greatest gold coin.

However, after this report appeared in the world, another party, Ge Laidong, the logistics minister of the Republic who is known for his stinginess, scoffed at it: "Cut! Xiao Xuzi's poor bastard, that is, shit luck!"

"If I hadn't been soft-hearted at that time, there would have been nothing wrong with him, and if I had been softer, there would have been nothing wrong with him!"

Press the nagging of the future miser Ge Laidong and leave it aside for the time being.

With Xu Ziyi's narration, the scene of that year was shown in front of the world for the first time.

"At that time we were still in the period of ignorance after the third nirvana. I was just an ordinary kid in the family at the time, and I was supposed to pick up the training equipment that had been repaired in the class that day......"

Xu Ziyi, who was assigned to duty, was a little depressed.

There are a lot of damaged training equipment in the past few days, there is no way, warriors, can not be compared with pampered magicians, how can you grow up if you don't earn some experience points by fighting and killing!

When Xu Ziyi was about to leave with a big box on her back, on the road leading to the workshop, a female magician with a pair of long legs came over, and the standard ordinary magic robe could not hide her outstanding figure.

"It's a pity!" Xu Ziyi sighed secretly, the purple bruise on her face was indeed too dazzling.

It's not just the color, it's the color change, the puffiness that it brings to people's vision—it really ruins everything.

However, it is very rare for a magician to come here, and the things that a magician needs cannot be provided by the blacksmith's workshop.

Was it because of the silvery white mass she was holding in her arms?

Rare metals, special magic paraphernalia?

Putting down the box on her shoulder, Xu Ziyi decided to take a look.

Zhao Yueru has long been accustomed to all kinds of stares, from the initial anger to sadness to the current numbness, it doesn't matter at all.

At this time, she didn't even catch Xu Ziyi's presence out of the corner of her eye, and the girl walked straight to the pickup counter in the workshop.

"Master, do you have any high-grade metal here?" The girl's voice was crisp and beautiful, like water and song, and her face was very different.

With the inquiry, the girl gently placed the slime in her arms on the smooth counter.

There was a sleepy old man sitting at the counter, perhaps related to his perennial career of bending over and striking iron, and his back seemed a little rickety.

Hearing Zhao Yueru's question, the old man raised his eyes and glanced at her, maybe he was too old to see too much, but he didn't show any strange color. It's just that his eyes flicker to the slimes on the counter.

"This classmate, do you want to find metal to feed this slime?"

The old man shook his head: "It's not worth it, classmate, aren't you a magician, it's really not worth it! Throw it away, the higher its level, the less good it will be for you." ”

"No, master, since God has given it to me, I will never leave it behind. Zhao Yueru can still feel the kindness of this old man, but the girl has her own insistence.

"Alas, there are not many kind-hearted girls like you now. ”

The old man sighed deeply, didn't insist any longer, paused slightly, and continued: "There is a piece of refined iron here that is very suitable for you, but it requires four gold coins. ”

As he spoke, the old man quickly pulled out an iron ingot about the size of two fists from the counter.

"Can't you have less?" Zhao Yueru's face froze, a little bitter.

"No!" the old man reflexively retracted his hand.

But the next moment, looking at Zhao Yueru's tearful expression, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something. Finally, he shook his head and let go of his hand: "Three gold coins!"

After saying that, he had a painful expression on his face, as if someone was cutting his flesh with a knife.

"Yes...... Can you cut it?"

As she spoke, the girl quickly pulled into her pocket, which was all her savings, two gold coins, more than a dozen silver coins, and more than thirty copper coins.

One of the gold coins was subsidized by the academy for mage students.

As his parents fell ill one after another, the family really couldn't come up with more money, if it weren't for the fact that there had to be a magician at home to support her, Zhao Yueru wouldn't want to come to this school.

"No, I can't. The old man shook his head slightly: "It's not that I won't cut it for you, it's just that your slime is obviously evolving, and this piece is probably the minimum requirement." ”

Zhao Yueru, a random old man guarding the counter in the workshop, actually has a clearer understanding than Tutor Kang Lianqing?

But the girl's mind was not here at all now, and this thought flashed through her mind.

She began to silently put away the coins on the table again, raised her head and said solemnly to the old man: "Master, you keep this fine iron, wait for me, and I will come back later." ”

"What are you going to do?" Looking at the girl's resolute expression, the well-informed old man was obviously surprised: "Don't do stupid things!"

"It's fine. Zhao Yueru said firmly: "I must save it!"

"You're really going to sell your magic power!" the old man stomped his foot fiercely: "You know, for a low-level magician like you, the damage caused by a single extraction is very huge and long-lasting. ”

It turns out that one of the reasons for the high status of the Imperial Magician is that he can extract his magic power at any time and charge various types of magic cores.

The magic core, as the source power of alchemy in the mainland, is widely used in combat, work, life and so on.

The demand in this area has always been in short supply.

Supposedly, it doesn't matter if the magician draws some magic power, and the meditation is restored.

But this is not the case, especially for a junior magician like Zhao Yueru, who is on the rise. This behavior is particularly deadly.

It's just that every time a mana extraction channel is established, the magician must fill a magic core from scratch, otherwise the extraction will fail.

But even if it is the smallest demon core that has been cut, it is also a heavy burden for Zhao Yueru, if you smoke it once, not to mention the long recovery period, it is easy to hurt the origin.

In case that happens, it will be absolutely hopeless to advance in the future.

The girl shook her head and didn't speak, and after putting away the coin, she stretched out her hand firmly to her slime again, and left with her arms in her arms.

At this moment, the old man's face was like a kaleidoscope, colorful.

"Price reduction!" came out of his throat and swallowed...... But I couldn't spit it out.

"You old man is too picky and stingy!" Xu Ziyi, who had been playing soy sauce for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore: "I still have a gold coin here, give it to you, give her that piece of iron." ”

"No need, really, classmate, thank you!" At this time, Zhao Yueru noticed that there was a soy sauce crowd next to her, but she would not accept gifts from outsiders with her stubborn and strong personality.

Not to mention a classmate who is just a one-sided relationship, even if it is Tutor Kang Lianqing, she has resolutely rejected this idea several times.

But the stingy old man who was in the battle between heaven and man didn't think so, as soon as he heard this, he took advantage of Zhao Yueru's slight turn of his head, and couldn't wait to add: "Okay, this is what you said." ”
