Chapter 682 Expedition Equipment

"Who is that fat man? It's not easy to get along with the students at a very old age." Holden asked curiously.

"Mr. Locke Thorne is the representative of the Midgard Colonial Company's office at the university. He is in charge of student loans, school recruitment and student internships. As usual, he will lead the expedition. Rent some magic equipment that is indispensable for underground exploration." Hailaer introduced.

After listening to her explanation, Joan felt that Mr. Locke's position at Midgard University was similar to the role played by Charles Fitzgerald at Leiden College, except that he was in charge of more things and was better at communicating with students. deal with them.

"Okay, okay, children, please be quiet, I'm going to start the roll call."

Mr. Locke took off his top hat and wiped his sweat, sat down on the dining table, took out a roster from his coat pocket, and raised his voice to roll the roll.

The students he pointed to raised their hands in response.

The 31 people who participated in this internship mission were all present and belonged to 8 expedition teams.

"Very good, everyone is very punctual! I found that there are several freshmen among the children participating in this internship. It is necessary to emphasize the rules of the internship, and everyone must remember it!" Mr. Locke put away his smile and solemnly emphasized: "Our The purpose is—"

"Do what you can, safety first!" Before Mr. Locke finished speaking, some students rushed to answer.

"Very well, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

Mr. Locke opened the briefcase, took out a stack of documents, handed them out to every student who signed up for the expedition practice, and asked everyone to sign.

Joan got a document, and after a quick scan, he found that it was an "Accident Disclaimer".

The explorer signed this document, and Midgard University and the Colonial Corporation are not responsible for any injuries or deaths caused by accidents during the expedition.

Joan couldn't help frowning. Judging from the terms listed on the document, this is obviously an extremely unequal contract, but in order to participate in the internship, I had to sign it.

Mr. Locke took back the waiver signed by the students and stuffed it into the briefcase, and then explained to everyone the four key tasks during the expedition: writing the "Expedition Log", surveying and drawing maps, collecting ore specimens and marking the collection points, and collecting Rare biological specimens.

In order to let the students understand their working environment, Mr. Locke also distributed each of them a "Handbook of Underground Exploration".

The book lists various precautions for traveling in the Underdark region: including special natural phenomena, various ores, and a detailed classification and description of underground creatures according to the level of danger.

Joan opened the "Underground Exploration Handbook" and read it with gusto.

There are hundreds of underground creatures recorded in the book, a large part of which belong to "strange monsters", which are also recorded in the "Vares Monster Illustrated Handbook".

Because of his "strange" blood, Joan is very interested in such mysterious creatures. But aberrations were rare on the surface world, and he had hardly encountered them before.

This underground expedition is a good opportunity to get close to and study strange creatures, and it may help to deepen the understanding of one's own blood.

Mr. Locke's briefcase is obviously enchanted with the 3-ring "Shrinkage Technique", and its capacity is much larger than it appears on the surface. It is filled with various magical equipment provided by the company for members of the expedition.

Mr. Locke stood in the middle of the crowd, took out six magic tools and a scroll from his briefcase, and introduced the use of these equipment to the students with a loud voice.

"It doesn't rain in the Underdark. Many places lack fresh water, like a black desert. If you don't want to suffer from thirst during the journey, you'd better bring an 'Endless Water Bag' that can continuously produce clean water!"

"There is no sun in the underground world. Except for a few shimmering ores and moss, there is almost no natural light source. Most of the places are shrouded in eternal darkness. It is very necessary for explorers to carry this blessed 'Immortal Light' with them." Flame's magic miner's lamp."

"There is also this pair of 'Night Vision Goggles'. After wearing it, you can gain 'Dark Vision' to avoid getting lost in the dark underground world."

"Everyone, take a look at this travel backpack. It is light and durable, and its capacity is sixty-four times larger than it appears on the surface! With this amazing backpack, you can carry more tools and supplies with you, and the ore collected during the expedition And biological specimens can also be stuffed into a backpack and brought back."

"And this magic ring, which is the most critical expedition equipment!"

Mr. Locke picked up a brass ring emitting a magical aura, held it up high, and showed it to the students.

"This 'Prospecting Ring' is attached with 4 rings of 'Perspective Technique', which can penetrate the barriers of soil and rock formations, and detect mineral veins buried hundreds of feet underground!"

"I know, haha, of course I know! Some naughty ghosts are planning to use the 'prospecting ring' to see through the girl's skirt. I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, so as not to be surprised!" Mr. Locke smiled slyly.

"Why are you surprised?" Holden asked inexplicably.

"If you use 'perspective' to observe a girl, what you see is not her naked body, but the other's bones and squirming internal organs." Joan replied softly.

After hearing his explanation, Holden's face turned pale, and he was really frightened.

The last expedition equipment that Mr. Locke publicly displayed was a 5-ring "Teleportation" scroll.

After the scroll is activated, 4 people including the caster can be teleported to a designated location up to 1000 miles away at the same time.

In the process of underground exploration, it is inevitable to encounter various accidents. Unfolding this teleportation scroll at a critical moment can be used as the last means of life-saving.

Even if you have never been attacked by monsters during the journey, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not get lost in the dark area full of tunnels, and circle endlessly in the maze-like underground world until the supplies are exhausted and you die of hunger and thirst.

Carrying a teleportation scroll with you is undoubtedly a reliable guarantee to ensure that you can escape the maze at any time.

The scrolls used to save lives are of course not cheap, and the price of each scroll is as high as 1,200 Gold Duga.

The students complained that it was expensive, but they paid for it more quickly. After all, no amount of money can buy their own lives.

Hailaer greeted Joan and Zion siblings to his side, and introduced a little internship experience to everyone as an "old senior".

"The expedition equipment provided by the colonial company is very expensive. The cheapest 'Endless Water Bag' costs 1,000 Gold Duga, and the most expensive 'Prospecting Ring' costs as much as 4,000 Gold Duga!"

"I don't recommend you to buy these equipment, but you can rent it. Compared with the expensive price, the rent is ridiculously cheap! The daily rent of the 'Endless Water Bag' is only 1 Gold Duga, and the daily rent of the 'Prospecting Ring' is no more than 4 Gold Durga, and all these equipment, you can use your student ID as a deposit!"
