Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 9 Working hard to earn big money

Early the next morning.

Xia Lan practiced every morning, and then had breakfast and came to the place agreed with Ceylon and the others yesterday. She sat there and looked at her phone, still mainly checking information.

What to look for, although the network in this world is not as open and complex as in the previous life, he still feels that he can find some information related to spells.

But unfortunately, I couldn't find any more effective information in the previous week. Basically, I could only find the "cover" without any content.

He glanced at the websites he couldn't access for a moment, and then glanced at the time: 31:[-].

"Isn't this coming, although I know it's the eldest lady..." He couldn't help but complain, and glanced at the pedestrians around him to make sure they hadn't appeared yet.

At this time, in a hotel suite.

Hei was combing the hair of Ceylon, who was staggering in clothes, and followed Ceylon steadily with his unparalleled skills, and said helplessly: "Miss, it's too late, just slow down, presumably that guy doesn't either. What more will you say."

"No, no, it's not good for people to laugh at this agreed thing!" She said quickly, quite reserved as a young lady... Although she didn't say that when she was lying in bed.

With a light gesture of her slender hand, the breakfast on the dining table flew to her mouth, and hurriedly devoured it and rushed to the bathroom. Toothpaste, toothbrush, facial cleanser, etc. flew out of thin air.

A few minutes later, Ceylon hurried to the door of the hotel, and the moment she put up the parasol, she regained her original elegance. Although there was still a little hurry between her steps, she was very reserved like a young lady.

Hei has long been accustomed to this, and slightly hooked his mouth and said: "Miss, wait at the door, I'll drive."

……

At 45:[-], Xia Lan was still looking at her mobile phone. Hearing the sound of approaching cars, she looked up. A high-end off-road vehicle drove over and stopped on the side of the road.

The window of the driver's seat slowly lowered, revealing Hei's delicate and flawless but indifferent and calm face.

"Get in the car and sit in the back." She said, while Ceylon, who was in the co-pilot, also raised her head and beckoned to him, and explained apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm late for something."

Xia Lan didn't care, he waved his hand and joked: "As long as the salary is paid normally, it doesn't matter if I sit here for a day."

He sat in the car and asked directly, "So have you determined which direction to go? Although my field of vision is very large, it is very limited in the wilderness."

"I have already decided where to go. I went to the Lizigu mining area in the northeast of Longmen. Almost all the valuable source stone minerals in that area have been mined, but according to the information, there are still quite a lot of source stone minerals with no mining value. ." Ceylon explained, showing him the information map by the way.

"By the way," she reacted and said a little embarrassedly, "Your name is Xia Lan, right? We haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is 'Ceylon', a graduate of the art master. Originium was investigating, and the driver named 'Black' was my good friend and bodyguard."

Xia Lan listened to this familiar name, and realized that they hadn't introduced themselves since they met. He didn't ask because he knew the other person's name. He didn't expect that she would be so careless and forget it.

"Ahem, let me introduce myself for the time being..." He said solemnly, "My name is Xia Lan, a poor and unlucky citizen of the Yan Kingdom, currently working for you, working hard for extremely generous wages."

Ceylon was amused by his serious but strange self-introduction, and said with a smile, "Your self-introduction is really poor."

Xia Lan grinned and didn't say anything more.

They then briefly said something, and Hei also quickly drove the car to the elevator on the edge of the block group, held up the two halves of the token (bushi), and paid the staff to lower them.

This is a quicker way. The other way is to take the elevator in the city and go all the way out of the city from the passage on the other side of the underground garage, which is generally much slower.

They drove up the long Gobi Desert and headed towards the mountains on the northeast horizon. The mining area they were looking for this time was there, on the periphery of the Yan Kingdom's border.

Looking at the barren scene outside, and looking at the city behind which gradually became farther away but still covered a large area, Xia Lan showed a sigh of relief. It could be said that she didn't know the true face of Mount Lu, only because she was in this mountain.

When I was in the city, I often felt that it was not much different from the big city in my previous life, and I would forget that I was on the back of a group of giant beasts, but after I left the city, I zoomed in and the scenery I saw was completely different.

"Is Xista a city built on the earth?" Xia Lan couldn't help but ask.

His words made the air in the car quiet, but after reacting, he immediately explained: "I know from your license plate that you are from there, and I have seen travel websites before."

He felt that if he said that he knew the identities of the two very well, he might be hacked directly.

Listening to his explanation, the inexplicable depression in the car disappeared silently in an instant, and Ceylon seemed to react and said: "Well, Xista is indeed built on the ground, because of natural disasters in that area. It’s rare and the geology is good, so there’s no need for a mobile city.”

She thought for a while and added: "But I... uh, our mayor has started building mobile cities in recent years, saying what to do just in case."

"Oh, but I still hope that natural disasters don't appear. The seaside city of Xista, which is so beautiful in tourism promotion, is too bad to be destroyed by natural disasters."

Xia Lan laughed to herself, guessing that she just wanted to say her dad directly, but she changed her tune a little confusingly.

However, he still had some fear in his heart, and decided that he must be cautious in his words and deeds in the future, otherwise it would be a bad thing to be mistaken for an enemy one day.

"Unless I am strong enough to have an identity corresponding to this knowledge." This thought popped into his mind.

Thinking like this, Xia Lan asked again: "Miss Ceylon, are you a third-order or above?"

"Why are you asking this?" She looked surprised.

"Uh... To be honest, I want to learn spells. I wonder if you can teach me some, even if it is only a level that can pass the first-order magician exam."

"No." She immediately refused, not at all like the original gentle lady.

"Ah..." Xia Lan showed such an expression as she expected, and sighed slightly, it seemed that she still had to find another channel.

After being silent for a few seconds, Ceylon couldn't help but said again: "Can you tell me why you want to learn magic, maybe I can introduce you to other magicians who can be your mentors, your special talent is still quite useful of."

After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, feeling that she was still a little soft-hearted, but it was a fact that his talent was very useful to her.

Xia Lan's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, she explained: "At least to the extent of being able to defend myself, to tell you the truth, I encountered two or three fatal things a week, and I was lucky to save myself and was rescued by the police. "

Hearing this explanation, even Hei showed a surprised look. According to what they had learned about Longmen's crime rate, his statement meant that he had encountered at least [-]% of Longmen's cases in a week.

"That's really bad luck..." She couldn't help but sigh, and then apologetically said: "Sorry, sorry, I'm a little rude."

Xia Lan shook her head to indicate that it was not a big problem, and then asked expectantly, "Then do you have someone to recommend?"

Ceylon turned on the computer, checked on a website that can only be accessed by a magician, and explained, "Wait a moment, I'll see if there is anyone in Longmen who is suitable to be your mentor. It should be easier to talk with my recommendation."

She may not know each other, but her identity as a fourth-order high-level magician is enough.

Xia Lan waited cautiously, looking at the computer on her lap earnestly, with a contemplative look on her face.

He couldn't help but peeked at her screen for a long time. It should be a website that can only log in with the qualifications of a magician. She is currently screening a lot of people. We can't understand it, and we dare not ask.

……

For a moment, when the mountain range was gradually approaching his eyes, Hei, who had not spoken, finally said, "We are about to reach our destination, Miss."

"Ah? Oh." She was stunned before responding, then turned back and said to Xia Lan: "There are still a few magicians in Longmen who are willing to accept apprentices, I will ask you, what is your talent type and score? How much?"

Xia Lan thought for a while, frowned tightly, and finally turned on her phone, dug out her medical report, looked at it a few times, and finally found the talent score column above.

"Uh... the type is all-around, the perception is 4.9, and the spell is 1.2." Xia Lan said.

"4.9?!" Ceylon was taken aback. His perception score was much higher than her casting score, and it was even close to the peak of most people, and it was almost the same as the theoretical maximum score of 6 for human beings.

Hei, who accompanied Ceylon to university for a long time, also showed a surprised look, such a high score is indeed rare.

"Unfortunately...you are a perceptual talent." After being surprised for a few seconds, Ceylon still sighed and said, "As long as you give half of it to the operation, you can get a good treatment."

Xia Lan's face darkened and her heart ached. The doctor at that time also said the same.

Seeing his unlovable appearance, Ceylon comforted him: "Although your perception is of limited use, someone should still want you, and I will try my best to help you. There are also examples of similar people becoming talents. Yes, don't be discouraged."

Before she knew it, she had already felt sympathy for Xia Lan's situation. It was the first time she had seen such a wrong situation.

Most people's perception ability is not that high, at most, it goes hand in hand with the skill score, and it is rare for him to be completely crooked.

Xia Lan's heart continued to bleed, but at this time she suddenly realized that her talent seemed to be growing up?

Thinking of this, he suddenly regained his energy and said seriously: "Then please, Miss Ceylon, please be sure to find a mentor for me, even if the salary is not required!"

Ceylon was stunned for a moment at his sudden change, and subconsciously thought that Xia Lan had taken her words as a life-saving straw, and said earnestly, "Understood, I will do my best!"

She suddenly felt the joy of helping others.

Hei listened to the exchange between the two of them, with a helpless look on his face. The young lady likes to do something together recklessly, which has caused a lot of trouble and gave her a headache.

Seeing that the exchange between the two came to an end, Hei hurriedly said: "Miss, we are about to reach the entrance of the mining area. Although this is an open source stone mine, the road inside is still difficult to drive, so be prepared to walk. Bar."

"Miss, you should also quickly put on a suppressor that can block Originium." She added another sentence.

Ceylon muttered: "I know, I know, don't rush."

Xia Lan couldn't help hooking the corners of her mouth, they were really interesting...

"When I find Hanhan's wife in the future, I will urge you too!" He couldn't help but think of this fantasy.

Ceylon raised his hand, and a spell condensed in Xia Lan's energy field of vision, and opened a mezzanine behind his seat, which seemed to be the trunk of the car.

She moved her finger, and then a large box flew out of it. If it was Xia Lan, she would never be able to use a force spell of this strength.

It opened in front of her, revealing many silver-white metal rings, which seemed to be similar to those suppressors on Rhode Island operators, and should be a type of suppressor.

Just as he was dazedly recalling the shape of the Rhode Island suppressor, Ceylon picked up one of them, lifted the dress, opened it, and buckled it on the upper thigh.

Xia Lan's eyes fell uncontrollably on the white flower's thigh, her eyeballs rolled strangely, and then she turned her head with a face full of reluctance.

Ceylon did not notice his peeping, and quickly put these metal rings on the upper thighs, ankles, forearms, etc.

"DiDi~" Accompanied by a burst of synthetic sounds, Xia Lan's field of vision was immediately covered with a special layer of source energy. Like the barrier, it should be a spell that isolates the energy of the source stone.

However, this does not isolate his perception. His perception seems to be absolute perception within a certain distance, unstoppable and unmasked. He does not know if it is because of his special talent.

"That... Xia Lan, you should put them on your wrists and ankles, otherwise the barrier may be too tight and may affect your perception." Ceylon said and handed him four rings.

They start off with a warm metallic touch with a bit of weight.

Xia Lan finally realized at this time that in the eyes of others, she was still an ordinary person, and she needed to prevent infection from high-risk areas.

He imitated Ceylon's movements and put on a few rings. After he finished putting them on, they made a beeping sound and started running, forming a protective cover around him, which was lighter than that of Ceylon. Some.

He quietly tried to use the ability to manipulate the source energy to push the barrier away, but he didn't expect it to open at once.

Although the ring slightly increased the output power and wanted to close the barrier, it was still unable to break free from Xia Lan's control.

He stopped after three seconds. If it broke, he would have to compensate. This thing doesn't look cheap, and it should be a highly sophisticated device.

I don't know if he would dare to touch it if he knew that the price of this thing was more than 2 Longmen coins each.

At this time, the scene on both sides had turned into mountains, and a rugged valley appeared in front of them, full of traces of artificial mining.

Hei found a place to stop the car, put a few gray rings on himself, and then said, "Get out of the car, you have to walk ahead."

Xia Lan and Ceylon responded, then opened the door and got out of the car.

The strong Originium aura rushed towards his face, which made Xia Lan's mind sway for a while, which made him even more determined to try to absorb the Originium.

"Kacha~kacha~ding~" With the sound of machine collision, Xia Lan turned around and saw Hei who had assembled the hand crossbow. She even carried a nearly one-meter-long extension set on her shoulders. Powerful.

Hei glanced at him coldly, as if to tell him to calm down, swallow any thoughts in his stomach, and don't think about anything scheming.

Xia Lan grinned, showing a wry smile on her face, pretending she didn't know anything and moving her gaze to the surrounding mountains.

There are large-scale mining traces here, which are basically exposed on the surface, basically small mining pits, and at first glance, there is no place like a mine cave.

And they are now in a valley. The opposite side of the valley seems to be a fairly large mine, which is ups and downs, but it can be seen from the top.

"Hei, come and help me move it~" Ceylon shouted in front of the trunk of the car.

"Come on, miss."

……

The three of them carried big bags and small bags, and when they were ready, they started to move towards the main mining area.

Ceylon took out an instrument and debugged it. It began to emit a unique wave-band Originium reaction, which gave Xia Lan a much different feeling from the surrounding environment.

"Can you tell the difference between it and the environment?" she asked.

Xia Lan naturally nodded and said, "I feel that there is a clear distinction, and it's clearer to focus."

Ceylon nodded and ordered: "Then go look for a place with a similar Originium reaction. By the way, if you feel a more special reaction on the road that is very different from the surrounding environment, you can tell me."

"Human-shaped self-propelled detectors, right?" Xia Lan couldn't help but thought with some humor, but she had nothing to say.

Just as the three of them entered the valley leading to the mining area, an old car stopped in the valley on the other side, and a man carrying a long box with a height of one person walked down. He slightly identified the direction. Then he went to the nearby mountain.
