Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 244 Trivia
After leaving the crowd, Xia Lan, Skadi, and Ghost Shark moved quickly. They came to the narrow alley behind the shop, found the door, and easily unlocked it with two or three spells.

"Who?!" There was a coquettish shout, and then Skadi easily pinched a short knife with the back of the knife down and cut through the crack of the door with his jade fingers.

At the same time, the increasingly heated disputes in the shop overflowed the cracks in the door, mixed with all kinds of threatening words that made people feel ashamed to hear.

Passers-by are basically watching the fun, only the infected person who hides his identity is thinking about how to make a move so as not to harm himself—even in Casimir, who is quite tolerant of the infected person, outside the arena It is also a felony to kill a knight.

Xia Lan then pushed open the door, looked at a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wearing shop assistant clothes, and asked softly: "I'm an expatriate operator from Rhodes Island, and I'm here to find the shop owner, may I ask now?" Is it time for help?"

But before the dazed girl could answer, the voices outside suddenly quieted down, and the original sharp criticism and persecution suddenly became extremely tactful, sincere, and frank.

"Our superiors have asked us to complete the extortion against your Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company, otherwise the higher-ups will really be furious, and it is actually very difficult for us to handle."

"This is because the cheap and efficient drugs you have recently sold have completely disrupted the market price, causing the revenue of the pharmaceutical institutions under our superiors to plummet, and the inventory to be unsalable."

"And our minimum goal is to make the medicines you sell pay at least 30% of the turnover of ore disease medicine tax. As long as the pressure is completed, this local clause will be set up."

"Our plan is to use all our strength to put pressure on us, and to act like we are fully armed and aggressive, but in any case we must never strike first, and then as soon as anyone makes a move against us, we will immediately pretend to be seriously injured, and at the same time Put the shit pot on your head and bite to death, so that you will be obedient in order not to close the door..."

"what……!?"

"What are they talking about?!"

"I said it was extortion, right?"

"No, it's the demon's upper body, and he said it all at once?"

"what's the situation?"

"Wouldn't it be some disguised conspiracy?"

"How can there be such extortion?"

"This *Casimir's swearing* is a disgusting conspiracy conceived by who?! It's too insidious!"

The sudden and complete reversal of the scene without any warning brought a lot of shock from the melon-eaters, and the four knights fell into a brainstorm after they realized that they had said everything out of their heads.

Mother gave birth.

Xia Lan shook her head slightly with emotion, but she was thinking about how to solve this matter completely—is it necessary to talk to this group of dog-legged upper-level leaders about this matter?
In this highly commercialized, entertainment-to-death country, stealing money from big capitalists is harder than breaking through knights!

After realizing that they were in an abnormal state, several knights looked at the bewildered shopkeeper with "calmness" on their faces, and asked very straightforwardly again: "Is this state that we can't control and tell the truth right now caused by you?" ?”

The doctor and store manager, who hadn't realized what happened, shook his head blankly, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Maybe it's the spirit magician who made the move. Let's go." The leading knight looked calm and had a peaceful demeanor, but deep down he was frantic, shouting frantically about his inexplicable wildness.

They walked out of the shop unhurriedly, but after walking out of the crowd, they suddenly roared, baring their teeth and waving their claws as if they were insane. Where had the fun people around them seen such a scene before, they all burst into laughter .

"This shop is closed today, please don't crowd around the door anymore, just pretend nothing happened!" The young doctor who hurriedly regained his composure shouted at the door, then quickly locked the door, drew the curtains in the closet, He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xia Lan who came out from behind.

"Mr. Xia Lan, why are you here?" The young doctor from Rhodes Island asked immediately. He obviously knew Xia Lan and knew something about him.

The other party should have been stationed at Casimir's side for a long time, and I don't know why he knew him.

Seeing him, Xia Lan seemed to be unaware of his disappearance, and said emphatically, "I encountered some trouble when I was on a field mission, and now I have resolved it, but I can't get in touch with Rhodes Island, you know Did something happen?"

The operator suddenly realized, nodded and explained without thinking too much: "The Rhodes Island headquarters released a new type of special medicine during this period, but for some reason, it was followed by a group of unknown international mercenary forces. , so it entered silent cruise mode."

"It is estimated that they came here for the prescription of these medicines...the effect of this medicine is much better than what we used before." The little girl clerk behind him couldn't help but said.

"Hiss—shouldn't it be?" Xia Lan couldn't help muttering, thinking that something was wrong.

It seems that Blacksteel International, Raytheon Industries and several other organizations did not disclose the news that they got the prescription, only one company in Rhode Island immediately produced the drug after getting the prescription, simple testing, and then it was directly listed as the prime loot Goal!
However, Rhodes Island did not launch this new drug after a period of testing. He thought that Kelsey would conduct clinical testing for a month or two, and now he was too caught off guard.

In terms of time, they may just get the prescription, produce it that night, test it one day, and send it out on the third day!
"The size of the tree is indeed attractive. I guess that the hospitals set up by Rhodes Island in other areas and received this batch of ore disease treatment medicine may also suffer the same blow. This is undoubtedly bad..." He couldn't help saying.

"Then what should we do?" The young doctor couldn't help but also frowned.

Xia Lan and the doctor fell silent, and finally, while looking at the bottles and cans on the cabinet, the ghost shark looked at them leisurely and said, "Then don't sell this batch of medicine for now, I guess Kelsey is rushing to make this batch The medicine is purely to test the attitude of this group of people before considering how to solve it."

What she said made both of them clear their minds, and they both felt that it was extremely reasonable.

But he still felt that Kelsey was too reckless, not like her riddle nature in the past.

"Then wait for the communication from the main ship of Rhodes Island first. You should try your best to protect yourself, and you would rather delay the sale to ensure safety."

Xia Lan nodded and said: "The group of dog-legged knights will definitely go and come back, and maybe it won't be a matter of verbal conflict by then."

"Well, I see, I will try my best to avoid the limelight these days, and we have set up a sales point in this city, we will activate that line." The young man said.

"Oh, that's right." Xia Lan's eyes flashed suddenly, and she remembered an important thing that should actually be put before everything else. She picked up a medicine from the bottle that was broken just now from the table, and melted it into water. dissolves it.

Under the eyes of several people, he carefully analyzed the ingredients of the medicine with breathless concentration, and it took him a long time to show a sudden realization and a wry smile.

——Although it looks like it on the surface, this is not the super ore disease treatment drug they researched in the lunar ecological park, which is at least 330% higher than the common drugs on the market!It's another kind of special medicine that is only 50% more effective than ordinary medicines!

"I said it's no wonder that Kelsey released this new drug directly. The co-author has an even more awesome new one. The old one can be eliminated and become a common one for civilian use, right?"

"Uh……"

After he finished cursing and complaining, he looked awkwardly at the two puzzled clerks. It took him a long time to shake his head and explain what he had misunderstood, but he didn't describe the specific efficiency of the medicine in depth.

But even his crude description made the eyes of these two people extra, very, extremely bright!
"Hush——" He put his finger between his lips, and said in a low voice: "I'm worried that it might bring about death for Rhodes Island, so I won't describe it too much, and you should pretend that you have never heard of it. "

"Yeah!" The two nodded in response with sparkling eyes.

After solving this matter, Xia Lan glanced at the clock on the wall that indicated five o'clock, and asked, "Say, it's almost time for dinner, do you want to have dinner together? By the way, can I talk about how to find Ben in Rhodes Island?" ship."

His words stunned the two of them for a moment, they never expected that the first thing Xia Lan would do was to eat.

"Don't be so surprised. People are like iron rice and steel. Only when they are full can they have the strength to do business, and we haven't eaten the delicious food in big cities these days." He said with a smile.

"Well, yes, Mr. Xia Lan." The young doctor agreed, "Then I'll go inside and change into casual clothes. Xiaoyu, you can go too. Anyway, it's closed today."

……

After they had dinner, Xia Lan also knew how to find the main ship of Rhodes Island:
The current ship is traveling in the wilderness of southern Victoria. There are several Rhode Island safe houses there. There are several special sending equipment in the safe house, and the coordinates of the ship can be obtained by relying on them.

"I didn't expect to have to solve the puzzle. I somehow feel like I'm playing a game." He sighed.

Seeing that the two didn't understand, Xia Lan waved her hand and said, "It's okay, let's do it first, the three of us will go to find a hotel nearby to stay, and if we have anything to do, just use the communication terminal to contact us. It's not difficult at this distance. "

"Oh yes, goodbye, Mr. Xia Lan." The young doctor nodded in agreement, and left with the girl under Xia Lan's gaze.

"This little operator is his adopted child, doesn't he seem to be seriously ill?" Skadi whispered on the side.

"Yes." Xia Lan nodded, affirming: "She should have received the most rigorous treatment from the doctor, so her condition has remained stable or even subsided."

"Let's go, too, to find a place to stay. I'll go buy some precious materials to optimize the shuttle at night, and then I'll be able to find the main ship of Rhodes Island in about two days. I'll think about other things then."

……

This night Xia Lan purchased some materials, while Ghost Shark took advantage of the night to go out for a "walk" and came back very confidently saying that Xia Lan didn't have to worry about the pharmacy anymore, and she didn't know what she did. something.

Looking at the news the next morning, there seemed to be no news of anyone being assassinated.

Out of trust, he didn't pursue it carefully, but he still kept an eye out and gave the medical operator a self-defense weapon with a very low barrier to use.

After bidding farewell to the city, Xia Lan and the others continued to drive this near-ground hovering shuttle with a maximum speed of 270 meters per second towards the southeast...

There are also several interesting things encountered along the way - the trading site of the embroidered hammer, the camp of a mercenary, and an unknown testing ground established in the middle of the desert.

These three groups of people almost immediately came to chase the three of them, but then they were thrown off at once. Xia Lan was really happy except for the strong acceleration.

Between the simple staggering, Xia Lan briefly glanced at what they were doing, but none of them seemed to be malicious at first glance, so Xia Lan didn't stop to do things specifically.

……

After eleven o'clock that night, in the southern desert of Victoria, in front of a safe house buried in the Gobi Desert.

Xia Lan cast a spell to lift off the rock formation, revealing the portal with the Rhodes Island logo underneath, and couldn't help saying: "It's really well hidden, if we didn't know the specific coordinates and the signal retrieval method, I'm afraid Destiny's Son will have to You can only find this kind of place in the desert."

Imagine: a boy with a strange object was chased and fled into the vast desert. When he was about to die of thirst and starvation, he lay in the shadow of a neighbor, and when he put his head on the gravel, he found that the wall behind him with cavities...

"What are you thinking, open the door?" The ghost shark with a gauze on its head urged.

Even after staying on land for so long, she still hated the dryness in the desert, and tried to avoid it when she was on missions.

"Oh... oh!" Xia Lan threw away the visual "imagination" in her mind, stuck the Rhodes Island dedicated personal terminal on the door, and started one of the programs.

A few seconds later, the sound of Kerala's gears came from inside, and the safe house, which had been untouched for more than half a year, was quietly activated again.

In fact, the door can be pushed open violently, or the door can be opened by pressing a pattern that protrudes obviously on the door, but that will not activate the Rhodes Island ship location program of the safe house, and you have to go through some complicated procedures after entering. Programs do.

After the door was opened, the three of them walked into the sunken safe house, feeling the breath of wind and sand in the air, and came to a display screen that had been quietly lit.

Xia Lan plugged in her own terminal, and after identifying the identity information, she saw a set of positioning information numbers on the terminal, including: the current position of the ship and its channel for the next five hours.

"Let's go." He said bluntly, causing the two people beside him who were still looking at the room to be taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Is it so fast?" "I haven't even finished watching it yet."

"It's that fast." Xia Lan grinned and pressed the shutdown button.

After they left the safe house, a burst of magic wave flashed, it blew away the gravel inside the door, and sealed the thin layer of sand in front of the door.

The flying shuttle broke through the sand and dust all the way, and crashed into a large sandstorm natural disaster area.

Looking at the dense ripples on the broken wind barrier, Xia Lan frowned, glanced at the positioning on the instrument panel, and continued to drive hard after making sure that she was right.

The two deep-sea hunters behind him looked at this very violent dust tornado happily, and didn't notice Xia Lan's frown at all.

He noticed the increasingly thick source stone dust around him, but suddenly slowed down, and stopped in front of a huge cluster of source stone crystals that were constantly growing, showing admiration.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen a growing source stone live?" He sighed, activated the original spell he possessed, closed his eyes and began to feel carefully——

Tens of seconds later, an extremely bright light flashed within the source stone crystal cluster, and the entire growing source stone crystal cluster also lit up, and a large number of spell runes emerged under Xia Lan's will , lit it.

Like a ignited tree, it turned into a cluster of extremely bright torches.

After it was ignited, the surrounding storm that was still growing lost its momentum to continue expanding, showing signs of decline.
