Chapter XXIV
"The girl's instincts are really accurate!" Long Jie hung the hooded mage robe on the hanger, casually put the enchanted mask on the coffee table, and muttered, "Others dislike the low status of the Demon Pattern Apprentice, but I won't!" Am I just a lonely ghost with no connections, no resources, and no exercises! Fish-free shrimp is fine...... Mo Jing can't get it, and it's not bad to save some Kuijin first. Anyway, this 'unrecognizable' can change the color of my pupils, accents, and facial features, so I guess it will be no problem to interview the Demonic Apprentice with my true face. ”
"This arbitrary door is kind of interesting, you can enter through the doors of the dozen or so houses scattered in Bermuda, and you can reach the Bermuda chapter through the doors of the dozen or so houses, and if you come out of the chapter, you will be randomly teleported to one of the dozen or so houses." Long Jie glanced back at the iron door painted with magic patterns in the middle of the empty room, then took out a small red bean-sized Kuijin from his pocket, tossed it in his hand once or twice, and continued: "If that enchanted object was not drawn for the Hitomi Magician, it may not be possible to fool around this time. After removing the redundant part of the magic pattern, I finally didn't go home empty-handed after this blind rush. ”
Placing the Kuijin granules on the coffee table, Long Jie stretched out his left index finger and tapped it above Kuijin, and a small flame in the shape of a tongue of fire appeared. After a scorching scorch, Long Jie's index finger clicked again, and a layer of crystal frost covered the Quikin particles.
"One tan, two tanza...... Heptad. "Long Jie on the Quikin particles. As he played, he said to himself: "After the 'Ice and Fire Triple Heaven', Kuijin will become a dough that can be kneaded..... and after the 'Ice and Fire Ninefold Heaven', you will get the liquid Kuijin." But I can turn Quekin into the most idealized and most suitable vapor-liquid state with just the 'Seven Heavens of Ice and Fire', who else can I do with this work of a demonic apprentice?! Hehe, isn't the tip rolling in by then? No matter what 'tattoo Gu', it's a big deal to save enough Kuijin to buy a piece of ink crystal by himself. ”
The small mist of Kuijin hovered above the coffee table for a while, and then condensed into a drop of water at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Kuijin fell back on the coffee table. Long Jie leaned in and blew a big breath, and Na Quikin rolled several times like dew on a lotus leaf.
Long Jie wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that the nuclear power value is less than one gong, and the 'ice and fire' of twenty times a day is estimated to be the limit." It is estimated that at the end of the day, I will be able to take on one or two low-level magic pattern jobs in the quiet room. However, the people who rent the ashram are usually senior magicians and magicians...... Hey, if this problem of nuclear power value is not solved, it is really difficult to move an inch! ”
Picking up the Kuijin and squeezing it in his hand three or two, Long Jie laughed at himself: "I have more memories and skills, although sometimes it feels weird, but sometimes it is indeed quite convenient." ”
Putting away the Kuijin and the Mercenary Guild's "practice certificate" close to him, Long Jie pushed open the door and walked out.
On one side of the door, there is a metal container resembling a church water bowl, and in the center of the container is a glass-like object the size of a ping-pong ball; A simple magic pattern is painted at the "equator" position of the glass ball, and from time to time there are colorful arcs similar to electrostatic balls flashing inside the glass ball.
Centered on the lonely wooden house standing by the river behind Long Jie, a radius of fifty meters was shrouded by a hemispherical transparent water curtain.
"Isn't this the same kind of convenience store in the era of the mother planet? The smallest banknotes or coins are dropped into these 'donation boxes'. Long Jie looked at the glass ball, pouted his teeth, and muttered: "For other nuclear powerers, replenishing a few pieces of nuclear power for this 'storage battery' as an energy supply for the enchantment is really equivalent to losing two coins, but I ....... it."
"Huh!? That's right!! Why not?! The dragon suddenly snapped his fingers excitedly and shouted, "This kind of nuclear force ball originally appeared to provide long-lasting nuclear power, although the nuclear force person must also be in a meditative state to store nuclear power in it...... However, extracting nuclear power from a nuclear force ball can save about 90% of the time compared to restoring nuclear power through meditation! Wouldn't it be appropriate to meditate on the side with a nuclear force orb without disturbing the Demon Pattern Master, and at the same time to quickly replenish the nuclear power?! ”
Taking out his watch, Long Jie used the star bucket system to set a position for himself, and grinned: "Fortunately, it's not too far from the Bermuda branch, and I still have time to sing 'Erjin Palace'!" ”
......
Long Jie came to the lobby of the Bermuda mercenary chapter, and first turned to the grocery store on the side.
This grocery store is not a large storefront, and there is a holographic shopping guide at the entrance, where you can search and check the current status, quantity, price and requirements of the items in the store's warehouse. Purchase, trade-in information, etc., and the display cabinets on both sides are placed with some small items.
Long Jie soon found several nuclear power balls in the far corner of the lower floor.
"10 Qiang, too white; 50 pionium, annual star; 100 gongs, this is Chen-star. Are there only three of them? Long Jie looked at a few price tags, turned his head and asked the grocery store owner: "Yingfu, Zhenxing or Ziqi, are there any of these three levels?" ”
The grocery store owner is an old mercenary, and looking at the shape of the mercenary badge on his chest is a hexagon, Long Jie knows that this is an old bird of the "teaching" level in the mercenary world.
"You should be a novice when asking such a question, right?" The grocery store owner sneered, "The nuclear power balls of the level of Yingfu, Zhenxing, or Ziqi are all customized, and that kind of magic pattern is much more complicated than the three you see. Moreover, the price of any custom enchantment will never be cheap. ”
"Again, I want to ask you what you are buying nuclear balls for? Because in the past ten years, there have been several ways to detonate a nuclear force ball by a ground-level nuclear force alone. Hey! Sometimes it's like you're carrying a powder keg with you. ”
"Taught!" Long Jie was also calm, after all, he was originally a rookie, and when he was a flea star, what he got from the pupil master of the Eagle Country was only part of the magic pattern knowledge, skills, and fragments of memory, and some common sense things were really missing. As for the Instrument Spirit Taoist, he is an "old antique", unless he takes the initiative to "see" the world, otherwise many things have to rely on Long Jie to update him during the chat.
"I bought the nuclear balls mainly for access to nuclear power." Long Jie showed his intention.
"Let's just buy a standard version, no need to add enchantments. Generally speaking, buyers who come here will choose a nuclear ball that is one level higher than their own. The shopkeeper paused for a moment and joked, "If you want a custom nuclear ball, you have to order it." ”
"Since the price of the Taibai-level nuclear power ball is the same as that of the year-old star, I want a 50-year-old planet." Long Jie took out the red bean-sized Kuijin from his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Actually, I would like to recommend that you have a star planet." The shopkeeper took Kui Jin in one hand and checked it, and handed a nuclear ball in the other hand to Long Jie, and continued: "You don't have six gold here. And the Kuijin on the Chen Planet is in the early four golds, plus the materials, the pen fee or something, I will give it to you at a flat price, and I will accept this Kuijin. What do you think? ”
"Or else?" Long Jie pondered for a moment and suggested, "I see that you have a trial magic pen here, and I guess I will abandon it if I use it once or twice." I'll take a new nuclear power ball from you and paint my own magic, and after I prepare the materials, I will borrow your magic pen and the quiet room to use, and give you a total of gold, how about it? ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and was surprised: "It really makes me look at it differently!" Hey! You kid do business and do it to my head. Looks like you're still a demonic apprentice, right? But ah, the ugly words are ahead, I was going to abandon that magic pen two days ago, and I just forgot about it. Wait, if you need to borrow a new magic pen, you'll have to pay an extra gold. ”
Long Jie nodded in agreement.
Closing the door of the quiet room, Long Jie looked around.
The environment here is naturally very different from the numbered quiet rooms from "Zero One" to "Zero Jiu", only some simple enchanting tools, and other valuable tools such as magic pens, magic plates, and attachment slots, which are jokingly called "consumables". Of course, the "brush-shaped" magic pen that Long Jie is holding in his hand now is not among them.
"With the tibia of the newborn nephew and young beast as the pen holder, and the twilight of the heart velvet as the pen head, such an ordinary magic pen is worth more than ten gold, what a pity to abandon it!" Long Jie muttered, "Let me see if the method taught by the eldest aunt is feasible." ”
"Even though it is highly resistant to the corrosion of steam and liquid Kuijin, on average, each magic pen can only be used more than a dozen times. The periosteum and bone marrow in this cylinder are almost depleted. However, it should be enough for the magic pattern of the nuclear force orb. Long Jie brought the magic pen to his eyes and looked at it carefully, then put the pen on the pen stand, and easily placed the new nuclear force ball on a planetar-like shelf to fix it.
Then he put his own Quikin into a crucible the size of an oil dish and "ice and fire" seven times, took a dropper with a magic pattern to absorb the vapor-liquid Quikin and poured it into the pen holder of the magic pen, and then began to use the tip of the pen with only one short fluff to draw on the nuclear force ball.
The vapor-liquid Kuijin slid down the fluff thinner than a hair, and gradually formed a simple magic pattern with the movement of the pen of the dragon and the phoenix.
After completing the demon painting, he poured out the "cooled" Kuijin particles in the pen holder and put them away, Long Jie sat on a futon in a corner of the quiet room, put on a Taoist double-disc meditation posture, adjusted his breathing, and slowly closed his eyes.
