Chapter 149 Summer Vacation Group Activities
"I didn't expect the Kingdom's Eye to be so humane. It even used its intelligence network to help us find our enemies. Although it was earned with the credit of the last mission, we have never had this treatment before."
Knocking the iron ingot in front of him, Warforged Red complained in a somewhat dull voice.
When they were in Sarn, they not only took the blame all the time, but sometimes they even had to work to earn money to fund their operations.
"Heh! It's a coincidence that the guy didn't know why he attacked the boy named Carl. The person in charge of Breland here had to come out and clean up his mess, so I was able to find him smoothly."
Walking into the inner room of the blacksmith shop, Cass changed her appearance again and changed into clothes that matched her current identity.
"Is that the one who took my wreckage? Then he is really our lucky star."
Putting down the hammer in his hand, Hong walked to the door and pulled down the shutter.
Many shops on the artificial island have similar operations, so other shops are not surprised, just thinking that the people in this shop have some special tasks to perform.
...
In the following period of time, Carl stayed in the Mage Tower to debug the power armor.
I don't know if it was the effect of the plug-in being upgraded again, but Carl always felt that he had a sense of affinity with the machine now.
He went to class every morning, debugged the mecha in the afternoon, and had dinner with Nia and Lisanna in the evening. His life was quite enjoyable.
This kind of life continued until the end of the final exams of the second semester of the second year.
Because the Nine-fold Path Competition has begun!
...
"Now the contestants of the School of Change are coming to us. They..."
In the Tower of Strange Machinery, Carl sat next to the signal transmission machine with his master Mooreban, watching the opening ceremony that had a taste of the school sports meeting, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
This process was asked by Mooreban and the tower master.
In the spirit of revenge, Carl picked out some key points of the opening ceremony of the sports meeting of his previous life university and told them.
With such an explosive opening, Carl felt that the people of Andel must be full of disgust.
But Mooreban was watching it seriously now.
"You know? The live broadcast you proposed increased Andel's tax revenue by 6%."
Suddenly, Mooreban turned around and told Carl about this.
"Ah? How did you do that?"
Pointing to the phantom that was walking towards the two of them, Mooreban said with emotion:
"The Andel royal family opened a gambling game, and those nobles threw money into it like crazy, especially those whose family members participated in the competition;
There is also the Jinquan Club, and many businessmen spent a lot of money to advertise themselves. Did you see the brands on the track? Your Majesty sold five places. In the next live broadcast, the brands printed with these five trademarks will appear in every corner of the stadium."
Carl had long known that people in this world were not stupid, but seeing them adapt to some of his suggestions so quickly still made him a little surprised.
"The Queen of Andel really knows how to do business."
Glancing at Carl, Mooreban ignored the disrespect in Carl's words and just took out a stack of bills from his pocket.
"Here, this is a little reward from the tower master and I. It's a pity. If we could build a large phantom device in Storm, wouldn't the Storm Dragon Mark Family be so happy?"
Carl took the bill and laughed immediately.
That was the ticket to Storm, something that ordinary families couldn't even buy.
"Hey, things have to be done step by step. I guess Breland should have contacted Andel, right? Will the phantom device be sold to Breland next?"
Before the Eruden Wilderness, Breland was the country with the best relationship with Andel.
Although Breland has now fallen to second place on Andel's friend list, the two sides are old friends after all, so this face should still be given.
"Of course! This summer we are going to Breland's capital and Sarn to build a special phantom theater. It's a pity that you can't go with us. I heard..."
"Hey! Stop it! Master, your tricking skills are not good enough. The traces are too obvious. You should use that kind of casual feeling to reveal the benefits, and then let me beg you to take me with you."
To be honest, Carl didn't appreciate Breland and Sarn.
He just likes the style of cyberpunk, but he doesn't like to be in a cyberpunk city.
There is no doubt that Sarn is such a place.
And Breland's capital is more like London during the Second Industrial Revolution.
Anyway, there is nothing that attracts him.
Seeing the apprentice's decisive refusal, Mooreban didn't force it.
He stretched out his hand to gesture Carl's height, and Mooreban was surprised to find that Carl had grown a lot taller.
"Anyway, you kid, be careful when you go to play in the storm. I don't want to see you being brought back in pieces by Nia and Lisanna."
While lamenting the growth of his apprentice, Mooreban gave a final instruction.
"Puff!"
Carl, who was drinking water, choked and sprayed it out.
Moorban's words came from a tavern story about a "scumbag".
There are many versions of this story, but the general plot is similar to that of "Brother Cheng".
Because he provoked many girls of noble birth, the boy was eventually collected by the girls.
In some versions, the girls finally couldn't stand the days without the boy, so they contributed the part of their bodies they held and asked the priest to revive the boy.
But in other versions...
Karl shuddered and looked at Mooreban with dissatisfaction, angry that this old Deng actually cursed his apprentice like this.
This made Carl couldn't help but want to make Mooreban explode some gold coins.
Seeing that Carl was staring at him, Mooreban waved his hand.
"Okay, there's nothing for you here for the time being. The Nine-fold Path competition may last the entire summer vacation. You have good grades this semester, so just take Nia and the others to play."
Thanks to the intelligence headband provided by Carl, a group of rangers basically barely passed the final exams of this semester.
Although there are two unlucky guys who have to make up for the exam, it's not a big problem.
"Then I'm leaving?"
Seeing the master nod, Carl naturally stopped being polite.
After leaving the room, he immediately rushed to the dormitory to pack up his things.
Coincidentally, Nia and Lisanna were all staying in his dormitory at this time. Hearing that Mooreban approved them to go home early, the two jumped up happily and cheered three times together.
"I got 14 tickets, including Hope and my parents... and Nia's parents and Lisanna's parents, so there are still four more tickets!
Lisanna and I will go back to Wana City first, Nia, you take your parents to the storm first, and we will meet at the resort!"
Handing three tickets to Nia, Carl shook his head and made arrangements.
This plan was unanimously agreed by Nia and Lisanna, but Nia was a little embarrassed when she got the tickets.
