Chapter 10: Our Enemy (1)
In the end, Xue Qiong still didn't take Mike's suggestion and went to Earth to build a star spirit portal.
One is because of the cost, and the other is that you have to repair the crystal tower to repair the portal, which is fine here in Titan, in comparison, if the psionic matrix is connected to the earth, the collapse speed of this world will definitely be many times faster... And at least at this stage, Xue Qiong still doesn't want the real world to deteriorate too quickly.
But... Although the Star Spirit Portal is not good, and the Zerg Portal cannot afford such a long distance, in order to get more workers, Xue Qiong knows that he still has to build a shortcut on the earth.
He wanted to build a teleportation array, which could not rely on the power of any other world, and purely provide magic to maintain the operation of the ordinary teleportation array.
This kind of teleportation array is found in many plot worlds, but the magic pattern knowledge in their hands is all from the magic circle book of the heart association, which is mainly destructive, and there is nothing like the teleportation array...
Fortunately, it has been exactly twenty-eight days since the last space cycle, and twenty-one days have passed since Xue Qiong came back this time, and Xue Qiong is not short of money now, and he knows that there is a person who definitely has these magic circle knowledge in his hands.
At six o'clock in the morning of this day, the three people who are reincarnators received a reminder of the beacon on time, probably the content of the "space" is maintained, and the next cycle will be opened in seven days, and now they can choose to teleport to the trading area for free, and after entering the transfer station, the income on them that has not been converted into tradable points will be automatically converted, and by the way, the "space" will also issue 1000 non-tradable points to each person, of which 500 points are the fixed subsidy of the previous cycle, and 500 points are maintenance compensation.
The three of them had planned to go to the trading area before, and they also greeted the others in advance, so after receiving the prompt, they immediately chose to teleport after they had already gathered.
After appearing in the trading area, Xue Qiong immediately glanced around.
"It didn't change much."
There is no difference at all between the trading area of the transfer station and the way it looked before maintenance. The dark gray ground and hemispherical dome were still smooth to the point of no blemishes, and the few scattered doors leading to the various private planes at the edge of the area had not even changed their positions, and even the two-meter-high toilet doors stood in the middle of the trading area.
Maybe the only thing that is a little different from the previous few times is that no one has set up a stall yet, and Xue Qiong has teleported over one after another, vigilantly looking at the reincarnators around him... After all, it's only been open for a few minutes, and this situation is quite normal.
Fu Shuai and Poison Island Tsuneko both came to the trading area for the first time, because Poison Island Tsunza was only marked in the last world, and Fu Shuai decisively spent all his belongings in the rest area after completing the trial world... They had only said Xue Qiong's description of this place before, so when they actually saw it, they still maintained a lot of freshness about this place.
However, Xue Qiong did not let them continue to satisfy their curiosity, and did not wait for others to set up a stall and go up for a walk for the time being, but directly patted them on the shoulder, walked in front alone, and walked straight to the edge of the trading area, the only carved wooden door that opened outward.
As they entered, the lazy voice unsurprisingly rang in their minds again, but with a slightly different content.
"You are welcome at the bar, go to the bartender for drinking, opening a room or enchanting, now the enchantment business is only available by order, and the delivery will be made before the next cycle."
Reservations only? Could it be that Lu Ziqiao is not here now?
Although he had such a guess, Xue Qiong still walked to the bar with Poison Island and Fu Shuai, took out the bar gold card that Lu Ziqiao had given him, and said to the replicant of the bartender downstairs in the love apartment: "Tony, whiskey, fresh orange juice and watermelon juice, all on the rocks." β
What Poison Island likes to drink, now Xue Qiong naturally knows very well, and he also knows that Fu Shuai has already developed the habit of drinking non-alcoholic drinks in bars after getting used to pretending to be pure in various social situations.
Xue Qiong would not ask Lu Ziqiao directly where he was now, because in his opinion, this Lu Ziqiao was really a little unfathomable, and after his strength exploded in this wave, he was not sure that he had reached the same level as him, and secondly, this time after all, he was also asking for help... So his plan was to sit down at the bar and have a drink while trying to get something out of the bartender's mouth.
It's just that I didn't expect that after Tony handed over the things that Xue Qiong ordered, he actually asked directly: "4F637N75 is it?" β
Tony directly reported his reincarnation number, which shocked Xue Qiong. Although he thought about it, he had done business with Lu Ziqiao a few times and signed a few temporary contracts, and it was normal for the other party to know his number, but why did he report it directly?
Xue Qiong replied with a stomach full of doubts, "Yes, is there any problem?" β
Tony was expressionless, and said in a somewhat mechanical tone: "Mr. Lu Ziqiao hates people who deceive him. β
This sentence made Xue Qiong's heart chuckle again... Actually, Tony didn't mention it, he really couldn't remember, after all, the last time he came to the bar and told a little lie about the worldview correction coupon, it was two cycles ago for the maintenance of "space".
Xue Qiong tentatively snorted, "What... What does he remember? β
"Mr. Lu Ziqiao instructed me." Tony said as he opened the bar bar, "If you still have the face to come here again, and you have a life, then I'm going to ask you to go and see him directly." β
"What do you mean?" A vigilance rose in Xue Qiong's heart, "What if I don't go?" β
With so many illusions that can affect him here, as well as the lessons of the last Xiaohei Great Prophecy Technique, Xue Qiong doesn't believe in the protection mechanism of the trading area, which can really make Lu Ziqiao not take advantage of loopholes to find trouble with him... Although Xue Qiong is confident in the current personal strength of the three of them, he will not suffer too much loss in front of Lu Ziqiao, an old fritter who doesn't know how many cycles he has been mixed with, but what if when Lu Ziqiao and the others are careful, the protection rules of the trading area still stipulate that they can't do it?
Faced with Xue Qiong's questioning, Tony, the bartender, stopped his movements and replied at the same time: "Of course, whether you do business or not is your freedom." But what I need to explain is that the place where Mr. Lu Ziqiao is now really has to be found by you in person. β
Xue Qiong finally frowned.
Now the high-end magic patterns and magic circle techniques of the reincarnator have basically been monopolized by the Heart Association, and only Lu Ziqiao is left with a little good goods here... Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for him looking for the blueprints of the teleportation array, Xue Qiong really couldn't think of anything else.
It's just that what kind of medicine is sold in Lu Ziqiao's gourd?!
At this time, Poison Island Tsunza pulled Xue Qiong's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "I just observed the spatial structure here... It's fragile, and I can still cut it if I try. β
However, Xue Qiong shook his head, and said to Tony instead: "Lead the way, just go over with me." β
Although Poison Island said so, Xue Qiong knew that she was going to use the ability that had been sealed, how could the price be small? In contrast, it is safer to face these unknowns on your own.
"Follow me."
Tony brought Xue Qiong into the bar, and Poison Island wanted to follow, but was stopped by Fu Shuai, "Just listen to the boss, you will cause him trouble like this..."
Xue Qiong thought that there would be a secret passage to the second floor behind the wine cabinet or something, but Tony opened a safe welded to the wall and took out a palm-sized gemstone product from it... And Xue Qiong recognized it at a glance, this was the Star of Azula in The Elder Scrolls 5.
Tony held the Star of Yazula up in front of Xue Qiong, "Please." β
Xue Qiong felt a rush of inquiry come to his own head from the Star of Azula, but at the same time, the warning sound of the beacon also interjected.
γWarning! Warn!! Unknown Plane Fragment Detected Opening!! γ
[Entering the fragments of this plane, all events that will occur will be unpredictable, and the transit station protection mechanism will not work properly!] γ
[Suggestion 4F637N75: Immediate denial of access to this plane fragment!!] γ
Faced with the sudden sound of the beacon prompt, Xue Qiong's first thought was not to feel dangerous, but why the Star of Azula had the so-called "Plane Fragment" function, and... Why do you want to ask for my opinion at this time?
Thinking like this, he suddenly interpreted Tony's actions so far from another direction, as well as Lu Ziqiao's arrangement. Spread out Lu Ziqiao's dissatisfaction with himself, in order to get straight to the point? And the other party has asked for his opinion many times, and he has shown this star of Azula, which is not simple at first glance, in front of him, which is a performance... Sincerity?
"I accept." He said in his mind.
A tugging sensation similar to that of a spaceship with a folding engine but much stronger spread throughout Xue Qiong's body, and in the next second, he found himself standing in another place.
It's a verdant grassland, and because a few kilometers away the grassland suddenly has a clear border, where there is nothing but blue sky and white clouds, and there is not a trace of wind here, so that every grass is upright, like plastic, which makes people think that this grassland is fake... In addition to this, the sun that radiates light and heat in the sky also gives people an inexplicable false feeling.
Dozens of meters in front of Xue Qiong, Lu Ziqiao, Chen Meijia, and Xiao Hei were gathering together to chat about something, next to them were two tents and various household utensils and garbage, and there were several magic arrays nearby that were not known for some purpose, and a big turtle made of red crystals was slowly wandering on the grassland, basking in the sun...
