Chapter 2: Redeeming Meditation Methods
οΌοΌ
So much has happened in the city-state of Custer in these days that he hasn't been out of the house?
Isn't this a trap for him?
However, how did the liaison officer on the other side know?
Could it be that there are other intelligence officers in Custer?
Wayne guessed in his heart, but there was a bitter and remorseful expression on his face, "Dear Liaison Officer, please forgive me for my incompetence, and I pray that you will give me another chance......"
"Actually, I also discovered the barrenness of the source of information, so today I successfully passed the interview and joined a newspaper in order to better serve the ghost school."
The figure was stunned for a moment, "You joined the newspaper?" What newspaper did you join? β
ββ¦β¦ is a small tabloid company. β
"Name!"
How can anyone ask so much about the roots?
Wayne lied: "The Custer Union Newspaper is a newspaper that specializes in serving trade union organizations......"
Click!
The liaison officer almost gritted his teeth, "Trade union newspaper? You can't figure it out! What useful information can such a junk newspaper company have? At the very least, it should be the city-state council bulletin, and the church weekly newspaper would be useful. β
"Well, they're too strict......" Wayne whispered.
I saw that the dark blue flame burst out violently, and the biting chill spread, so that it could not freeze him to death.
"Enough!"
Wayne hurriedly lowered his head, the sweat on his body had frozen into ice, causing a layer of white frost to appear on his forehead.
What now?
The liaison officer looked like he was going to kill him.
And what he didn't know was that the same question was in the liaison officer's mind at this time.
The emotions are all here, and it seems impossible to say anything if you don't do something......
It was a long time before she made up her mind, "Ahem, given your recent poor performance, I've decided to punish you!" β
Punish?
Fortunately, the punishment is better than losing a small life.
"You haven't become an apprentice in the school yet, have you?"
Wayne was waiting to hear the result of the punishment, but he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, and replied cautiously: "My lord, I am about to exchange the Basic Meditation Method...... If you don't deduct my salary. β
"Paychecks?"
The liaison officer was stunned for a moment, then reacted, glared at him, and said, "You think I'm going to deduct 6 pence from you?" β
"Of course not, I'm sure you'll teach me a profound lesson, and not take a mere sixpence."
The liaison officer took a deep breath, and if she continued, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist using the spell.
"In order for you to remember this lesson, I have decided to assign you a task just for you!"
Task?
Wayne raised his head with difficulty and looked at the figure in the flames and said, "Please say, no matter what the task is, I will gladly accept it and do my best to complete it." β
"I need you to investigate the disappearance in the ghetto three days ago, time ...... Well, I'll give you two days! In two days, I hope to see the results of the investigation into the disappearance! β
Surveying the slums?
Wayne thought about what he had encountered in the ghetto two days ago, and the prompts of the system later...... I couldn't help but shiver, and my eyes were full of fear.
"Great, my lord, can you change the mission?"
"You don't want to accept this task?"
"No, no......"
The liaison officer said impatiently, "Whether you want it or not, this is your punishment." Either accept the mission, or I'll make you a missing person like those people now! β
ββ¦β¦ No, I accept your punishment. Wayne said helplessly.
Let's get through it first.
"Remember, you only have two days."
With that, the figure dissipated instantly, and the dark blue flame went out.
The "telephone" also returned to standby, the blue flame on the body of the cup flickered regularly, and a visible halo veins rushed to the jewel switch on the waist, as if accumulating energy.
When Chang,
The sound of several coins dropping rang out.
Wayne came back to his senses, slowly straightened his waist, and moved his almost frozen body.
Then he stepped forward with a frown, opened a blue and white box next to the "telephone", and took out six pence of it.
"Good news, bad news......"
The good news was that he had saved enough money and could redeem it for the Basic Meditation Method.
The bad news is that the leader found out about paddling and fishing, and he had to step out of the room and take the initiative to explore and obtain information.
The thought of going out made Wayne look melancholy.
In fact, after he absorbed the memories of his predecessor, he went out.
It was normal for the first few days, but since he had that stats panel, everything has gotten weird......
It had been two days earlier, the day after he had peeked at the ghostly dogs, and he had gone to the Laos neighborhood, a slum two blocks away.
There was a bakery there, where he bought a pound of brown bread for 3pence. On the way, I also went to an open-air circus in the middle of the block to watch a performance for a while.
Everything looks the same as before.
But as soon as he returned to his residence, he received several tips.
[You are corrupted by the power of the Nightmare Realm, and your spirit level is permanently reduced by 1.] Evaluation: I won't be so lucky next time! Special Reward: +1 Toughness Level. γ
[You have gained the love of the abyssal creature, the Bone Eater Mother, who is eager to reproduce in you!] Evaluation: It doesn't mind having a cross-racial love affair with you. Reward: +2 survival points. γ
[Because your toughness level is greater than level 8, the Bone Eater Insect attack fails!] Special Reward: +1 Toughness Level. γ
[You are locked by Mitchell Sorensen's killing intent.] Comments: A parasitic species of the Osteoeater, who is eager to capture you and sacrifice to the Osteoeater. Reward: +1 Survival Point. γ
[You are locked by Zamir Tapa's killing intent.] Comments: A fanatic of the Abyss Order, who only wants to sacrifice your body and soul. Reward: +1 Survival Point. γ
[Bone Eater Motherworm: The most loving race in the abyss world, it can release the "Love Seed" - the Bone Eater on any living being. Organisms that are successfully infested by the Bone Eaters will lose all their bones in a short period of time.
The Osteoeater likes to keep its target's skin sac properly as its eternal collection. γ
At that time, Wayne looked at the long list of prompts in amazement, especially about the bone-eating mother worm - this is "good-looking bones are the same, and interesting skins are one in a thousand"?
Beep the dog!
Who wants to have an interracial love affair with it?
And what kind of parasitic species, abyssal cult fanatics...... He really didn't expect that there were so many "people with lofty ideals" hidden in the small slums.
In less than two hours, he was reminded of six times.
If you go out for a spin again, who knows how many more perverts you will encounter?
If it weren't for the fact that he was eroded by some realm power and raised the first level of toughness, I'm afraid he would have cooled down two days ago.
So
Without the ability to protect himself, Wayne was really reluctant to leave the safe house.
And the information he submits these days is all taken from the newspapers, from the Castel newspaper he just said.
As for what he joined the newspaper and the like, it was just a white lie he weaved in order to protect himself!
In fact, he had a safer place to go.
But now, the plan seems to have skewed slightly.
Wayne took a deep breath, dispelled those bad memories, and worked hard to improve his strength to save his life for the sake of the future!
With that in mind, he opened his wallet, poured out all the money and piled it on the table, and counted it again.
A note worth 1 gold pound, 15 silver coins of 1 shilling, and 60 copper coins of 1 pence make a total of exactly 2 gold pounds!
Then, he pulled out a blank application form from the blue and white striped box and wrote the transaction contract according to the instructions for using the "self-service exchange machine".
Although it is difficult to understand the mechanism of "typewriter", "telephone" and "self-service exchange machine", his rich knowledge in his previous life made it easy for him to accept these magical items.
Like this case, which he calls a "self-service exchange machine", it is a machine with the ability to teleport items.
Every time he submits information, the paycheck appears inside the box.
In addition, if you want to exchange items for the Spirits School, you will also need to use this chest.
Just like at this time-
"To His Excellency Kdir Khan Harrison, Spiritist Items Administration! Wayne Lovett, intelligence officer of the humble city-state of Caster, asks to exchange for the Basic Meditation Method......"
Damn, the format of this trade contract is very strict.
Except for the name and the item to be exchanged, everything else is printed on the application form, and you can't change it if you want to.
Lowly?
Humble your uncle!
But
Wayne could only complain wildly in his heart, if he really wanted him to question it face to face, he was afraid that he would not have many lives to live.
From his predecessor's memories, he knew that the head of the Item Management Division was already an official wizard, and that the liaison officer was only at the apprentice level.
However, there is also a difference between apprentices and apprentices.
In general, a person who learns the meditation method can be called an apprentice, also called a junior apprentice.
And the liaison officer, Wayne speculated that she was at least a high-level apprentice, and most likely even on the verge of becoming a full-fledged wizard.
He didn't know the exact gap, but it was definitely beyond imagination.
Hey, money, money......
If he has the money, he can exchange the items on the list and he can exchange them all at once.
In addition to the basic meditation method, there are also knowledge such as the first solution of magic, the introduction to runes, the introduction to alchemy, the introduction to potions, and so on.
I didn't expect him to be worried about money.
Wayne finished writing the application form and carefully examined it before carefully placing it in the box, along with all his belongings - 2 gold pounds.
Once he had done this, he closed the box and pressed the start switch at the top of the box.
Airplanes!
With a slight vibration, the white streaks of light on the box flashed.
Wayne stared nervously at the box, his eyes unblinking.
Don't go wrong, that money doesn't come easily.
It took more than 100 years to save enough for the predecessor......
If something really goes wrong, where is he going to get so much money?
Fortunately, after a few minutes, the blue stripe on the box that represented the presence of unremoved items lit up, which made Wayne's heart hang.
He hurriedly opened the box and took out its contentsβa letter and three rolls of parchment.
