Doomsday Totem

Chapter 120
Half an hour later, Tie Slag drove Qin Ke'er to Zhongxin Street with his locomotive.From entering the city to the present, they have walked about nine kilometers.Tie Slag couldn't help sighing that a functional area of ​​this No. [-] Silver City was equivalent to the size of Tieshan Town.

Qin Ke'er directed Tie Slag forward and came to a cafe.It was a small café, with four tables on the front porch looking in through the stained-glass windows, and five or six more inside.

The sign of the cafe reads: Alley Corner Cafe
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the bright sunlight shone through the red striped shade cloth into the corridor. There were small flower baskets and a glass oil lamp on the table, and everything looked leisurely and comfortable.

After parking the car, Qin Ke'er took Iron Slag and sat down at the table.After a while, the waiter in plaid clothes brought up water and menus.

Iron Slag opened the menu, looked at the price on it, and immediately widened his eyes.

Black coffee 6 copper, cappuccino 1 silver 5 copper, Blue Mountain coffee 1 silver 8 copper, fresh fruit plate 2 silver, French fries 3 copper, garlic toast 5 copper, broccoli veal steak 6 silver, oak roasted north Dihei goat leg 1 gold and 2 silvers, Golden Bay whole king crab 1 gold and 8 silvers, red sea marlin 3 golds and 3 silvers, 12-year-old Huaxia Manor red wine 3 silvers and 2 coppers, 15-year-old Kraken red wine 21 golds, 75 years...

"Hello sir, what do you need?" the waiter bent over and asked.Throwing away the dross menu, I ordered a cup of black coffee.

Qin Ke'er originally wanted to order some expensive things, and was angry with this sloppy country bumpkin.But when she thought that the other party was a garbage picker, her heart softened, so she just ordered a garlic toast.Now it was Tie Slag's turn to feel a little embarrassed, after all, he had been busy for a long time and hadn't eaten yet.So, on his own initiative, he ordered a broccoli steak, a fresh fruit plate, and a cappuccino for her.

"You! Do you have a lot of money?" After the waiter left, Qin Ke'er became unhappy and asked with puffed cheeks.

Tie Slag couldn't help touching his forehead, he really didn't understand this woman.

"You are from the Northern Wilderness, you must have self-knowledge, don't pretend to be nothing, I don't care about these things!" Qin Ke'er taught with righteous words.

Tie Slag looked away and rolled his eyes, pretending he didn't hear.

"You have to study for a year, and everything you do here will cost you money. You need money for food and lodging. How much money did you bring? Can you stand up to this kind of trouble?" Qin Ke'er spoke more and more vigorously, as if she couldn't stop , Iron Slag can only continue to pretend that he didn't hear it.

"Do you want to pick on me? Don't think too much, it's impossible, I won't have a good impression of you just because of a meal." Qin Ke'er said.

Tie Slag turned his head, cupped his fists and said to her, "Thank you for reminding me, I have enough money to spend, so you don't have to worry about it, and I didn't even think about it..."

"How much money did you bring?" Qin Ke'er interrupted him and asked.

"50 gold." Iron Slag replied.In his opinion, 50 gold is considered a small savings in Tieshan Town, and eating, drinking and having fun for a year or so will not be a problem.

"50 gold! My God..." "What's wrong?" "You only have 50 gold on your body, how dare you spend it!" "Isn't it enough?"

"It's my bad luck. I will pay for the meal myself, and you can just buy that cup of coffee." Qin Ke'er said disdainfully.

Tie Slag raised his glasses and asked her about the cost of living in the academy.Qin Ke'er asked the waiter to bring a pen and paper, but calculated carefully.

In terms of accommodation, the accommodation fee for one semester is 12 gold, electricity and water are about 1 gold, and the total is 26 gold a year.In terms of food and drink, eating in the canteen will cost you 2 coppers for breakfast, 5 coppers for lunch, and 6 coppers for dinner, totaling 1 silver and 3 coppers a day, 3 golds and 9 silvers a month, and 48 golds a year.

A total of 76 gold, the average daily cost is 2 silver.

"That said, it doesn't seem to be enough." Tie Slag said.

"You just know." Qin Ke'er said with her arms folded.Tie Slag asked what was the way to make money here, Qin Keer shook his head and said that it was very little, the income of washing dishes in the restaurant was 2 coppers per hour, which was just enough for the meal and accommodation expenses of the day.

"I don't need to wash the dishes. I am strong enough to carry things." Tie Slag said.

"Engineering mechs are used to transport things here, and there is no need to work hard." Qin Ke'er said contemptuously.

Iron Slag asked if there was anything else he could do.

"Yes, yes..." Qin Ke'er intentionally elongated her voice, looked at Tie Slag's expectant expression, suddenly her expression froze, she changed the topic, and asked, "But why should I tell you?"

"This..." "Tell you, what's the benefit?"

Tie Slag touched her forehead again and asked her what she wanted.Qin Ke'er showed a playful smile, saying that she would slip up when she was happy.Tie Slag asked her how to be happy.

"I'm very happy to see you upset." Before she could say anything, Qin Ke'er pursed her lips and laughed.For a moment, his eyes were slightly rippling, full of charm.

"Friend, what about it?" Tie Slag asked seriously.

"I don't know..." Seeing Tie Slag's serious look, Qin Ke'er laughed even more happily.

"Well, please drink something good." After finishing speaking, Iron Slag got up and walked to the locomotive, groped in the canvas bag for a while, and took out a small bottle containing red liquid.Back at the table, Tie Slag asked the waiter to bring a small cup, poured a cup, and pushed it over.

Qin Ke'er looked at the viscous bright red liquid in the cup hesitantly, thinking of her identity as an iron scum picker, she pursed her mouth and refused to drink this unknown source.

"It's a good thing, just take a sip and you'll know it." Tie Slag said.He didn't dare to say it was ice crystal fruit wine, because only Xueye Ice Field and Endless Forest Sea had ice crystal berries in the whole world, and speaking of it might have exposed his identity of the Brilliant Lineage.

"Don't drink." "It's really good, I won't lie to you." "Don't drink." "Okay..." At this point, Tie Slag had no choice but to give up, and was about to reach out to take back the small cup, but Qin Ke'er suddenly stopped her His hand, with some fear and some expectation, asked him, "Is it really delicious?"

"Delicious." Tie Slag replied sincerely.

"You swear." Qin Ke'er said softly.

Tie Slag felt bad all of a sudden, and he had to swear on such a trivial matter, which was too much of a joke.Immediately, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If you like to drink, you will not drink, and if you don't drink, you will fall down."

"How stingy!" Seeing Tie Slag's serious appearance, Qin Ke'er picked up the small cup with disdain, and took a sip lightly.In an instant, the liquid in the mouth turned into a sheet of ice crystals, like ice slag and fruit pulp.An indescribable feeling came to her heart, and she almost froze.The taste is cold and refreshing, like ice cream that is sweet but not greasy, and clear water that is ice but not cold.Gradually, the coldness turned into infinite warmth, as if people were placed in constant temperature water, only feeling that the body was about to lose weight, soaked in incomparable comfort.

The taste is as strong as lava, and as gentle as warm water, it is condensed but not released, and it penetrates the heart...

After a while, Qin Keer didn't come back to his senses until the waiter brought the staple food and coffee.However, the first sentence she spoke made Tie Slag wish to snatch the fruit wine back.

"Is this the hallucination potion?" "Don't drink it if you don't want to drink it!" "But it really feels like it."

Iron Slag couldn't help frowning, and asked her if she had tried it.The drug dependence of the phantom potion is extremely strong, and the women in the alleys of Tieshan Town often use it, and they cannot live without it.

Qin Ke'er quickly shook her head, saying that she hadn't tried it, she just heard the teacher describe it in her pharmacology class.Tie Slag said it's best not to try it, it's hard to quit.He was once injured and used hallucinogens to relieve pain in the absence of drugs. He became addicted not long after, and then took a long time to quit.

"I'm a good girl, I never touch these things." Qin Ke'er said a little unhappy.She felt that this country bumpkin was too much, and even suspected that she had used the hallucinogen!

From then on, the atmosphere became dull.In the following time, neither of them spoke again.Qin Ke'er finished eating quietly, and when Tie Slag settled the bill, they left the cafe together and went to report to the academy.The two walked silently along the central street for a while, and came to a gate in the east.

This is the main gate of the Central Silver City Military Academy, which is composed of twelve huge stone pillars, also known as the Gate of the Round Table Warriors.In front of the gate, there are two checkpoints, one for exit and one for entry.

Qin Ke'er reminded that weapons are not allowed in the school, they must be stored at the checkpoint and can only be picked up when going out.Tie Slag frowned, feeling very uncomfortable.Since he was sensible, he has been inseparable from his body with a sword and a gun, and now he is really not used to disarming him.

Iron Slag asked if there was any other way.Qin Ke'er said that out of more than [-] people in the entire academy, only three people can carry weapons, and ordinary people don't even think about it.Tie Slag asked who could take the lead, and Qin Ke'er said impatiently, the chairman, vice-chairman, and secretary-general of the student union.

After much deliberation, Iron Slag put "Fengyao" into the sword slot on the side of the red comet and hid it.Qin Ke'er hugged her chest, saying that Tie Slag couldn't do this.Iron Slag told her to leave it alone, it had nothing to do with her.

Qin Ke'er stomped her feet angrily, and left first.Tie Slag ignored her and slowly pushed the cart into the checkpoint.A staff member in white clothes with a silver badge on his chest checked Iron Slag's credentials, and then brought a large iron box for Iron Slag to put weapons here for unified management.

Iron Slag took out all the weapons and ammunition, and the staff put on white gloves, inspected them carefully, then wrapped them in oiled paper, and put them into iron boxes by category.

During the period, the staff picked up the Magnum revolver with great interest, and said, "The custom-made Smith m500 is a rare commodity. I heard that it is much more powerful than the Sand Eagle."

"It's a pity that there are no bullets." Tie Slag sighed.

It wasn't until then that the staff noticed that there were no explosive bombs suitable for the m500 in the ammunition pile.He opened the magazine and looked at it for a while, and said that the firearms center of the college can customize this kind of bullets, and 30 credits should be able to customize about [-] rounds.

Tie Slag asked what is the concept of 30 credits, and the staff replied that 1 credit is equivalent to about 10 gold coins, but there is no market for it, and no one is willing to sell it.Iron Slag asked why, and the staff said that many resources and equipment provided by the academy could not be bought outside.For example, the Holy Light Power Armor dedicated to the Templars can be exchanged for credits.

After the staff finished packing up, Tie Slag signed his name, paid a management fee of 1 gold coin, and pushed the locomotive through the checkpoint.

After entering the academy, Qin Ke'er waited outside, saw Iron Slag coming out and began to complain that he passed the test too slowly.Tie Slag was a little annoyed by Qin Ke'er's fluctuating hot and cold, and said flatly: "I'll take care of the rest, you go back first."

"You said it yourself." Qin Ke'er said with emphasis.

"Go." Tie Slag waved his hand casually, pushing the locomotive to the other side.
