Can you become stronger without paying money?

Ma Chika put down the thing that Ma Chika had been playing with, and turned to the materials handed over by the woman, and the woman looked curiously at the thing Ma Chika put down, but it was a third-order Rubik's cube.

However, the third-order Rubik's Cube was still in a state of confusion, and immediately, the woman spoke dumbfoundedly.

"...Teacher, you still can't figure this out? You bet with Zhenyue that you will definitely solve this problem within three months~"

"...Uh, now I say I regret the bet, do you think there is a way to get Zhenyue to forgive me once?"

Ma Chika was also helpless. After all, this is too miraculous. A person who can measure the precise position and orbit of each planet by visual inspection and mental calculation, can't handle a third-order Rubik's Cube. Even if a ten-year-old child learns the formula, he can easily unlock it.

"I really can't help it~" The woman picked up the Rubik's Cube on the table, and then fiddled with it on her own, "Hehe, let me help you, teacher~"

The woman fiddled with it while talking, and after a few minutes...

... Rubik's CubeTM is even more chaotic!

The woman turned her head in embarrassment...

"I remembered, I don't seem to know how to twist a Rubik's cube..."

"...Why don't we act as if nothing happened just now?" "...Good idea!"

"Machika, @#$^, you two...what the hell are you doing!"

Just when the atmosphere was very awkward, the voice of a third person sounded in the scene...

Riel and Sapphire hurriedly cast their gazes at the place where the sound came from, and what they saw was another acquaintance...

Chapter 220 Three Cold Blade Wuxin ([-])

The third person who appeared in the essay was, as expected, a familiar face...

... Zhenyue was still dressed as in Luna's Garden. She stepped out of the portal, put a dozen documents in front of Ma Chika familiarly, and complained helplessly at the same time.

"You can store knowledge directly in the form of conceptual packaging, so why use such a primitive means of paper media to preserve data? You really have inexplicable persistence in strange places."

Ma Chika picked up the stack of materials with a smile. Indeed, in terms of the abilities of the three people present, there are ways to record information with more than three digits. Regardless of any way of recording, paper media is the most primitive among them. One of the methods, not to mention that the information that paper can record is very limited, and the preservation of paper consumes more space than other information storage media, and it is very troublesome to organize...

However, Ma Chika just likes the kind of paper that can be read in his hand, rather than an electronic document composed of an index and various hyperlinks.

"Hehe, don't say that, paper media also has its benefits. As long as the text is still passed on, even a low-level civilization can gain a lot from the literature, but concept packaging and electronic files are not so convenient. If One day we will all be gone, and there will be an inheritance fault among our descendants, do you think it is easier for people to understand a paper document, or is it easier to interpret a memory chip?"

Zhenyue pinched the center of her brows even more with a headache, "So how can a high-level civilization be so prone to civilization faults, and it's your baseless theory of 'Great Destruction'? It's so strange that the Council of Great Sages actually put your unreasonable Practical fantasy as a research topic..."

Unrealistic fantasy?

Chewing the history conveyed in the picture, the history of that long time, Riel and Sapphire have an inexplicable mood in their hearts. Judging from this picture, Ma Chika seems to have noticed some clues about the Great Destruction, Moreover, the existence of the Great Destruction was brought up.

But judging from Zhenyue's attitude, I am afraid that most of the ancient elves did not take the Great Destruction seriously, and more importantly... when I saw Zhenyue in the Luna Garden before, she had no idea about the Great Destruction. No concept, if she had heard about the concept of the Great Destruction from Ma Chika, why would she appear to be ignorant afterwards.

If it wasn't that Zhenyue was deliberately concealing something, it should be that there was a fault in Zhenyue's memory...

Judging from the fact that Zhenyue herself said that her memory is a little fuzzy and there are many gaps, the latter should be the most likely possibility. Zhenyue may have known the existence of the Great Destruction, and may even know the truth about the Great Destruction, but ...

...she doesn't remember anything.

Maybe it was just a joke unintentionally by a few bigwigs. Who knows that it really became a proverb. Now after the Great Destruction, the ancient elves and the human beings of the old age have been cut off. Human beings have found many creations left over from the old age, but Many people can't even read the instructions. At this stage, the research on ancient civilizations can only explore the history of that era through some ancient documents recorded in writing.

The conversation on the screen is still going on...

"Well, let me take a look..." Macka picked up the two piles of documents on the table, glanced at them and put them down, "Well, that's how it is."

Sapphire couldn't help being amazed, Ma Chika seemed to have read the two piles of documents with just a glance.

"In this case, the research progress of the 'Super Evolved Life Form Creation Ceremony' has come to an end."

Ma Chika once again uttered the key words that people are very concerned about, and the woman in the picture who called Ma Chika a teacher asked curiously, "Is it over? That means the research is complete ?”

Machka nodded and shook his head again, making the other two confused, but he didn't make a fool of himself, and quickly explained.

"If it is based on the original purpose of my proposal, the current stage has indeed been completed, but from the current point of view, I am afraid that my research has failed... No, it is not a failure, it is a mistake from the beginning what."

"What? Don't you want to say that the entire super-evolved lifeform creation ceremony failed?"

The expression on Zhenyue's face was subtle, but Ma Chika immediately coughed and replied, "No, no, don't you see that there are still many useful finished products?" Ma Chika pointed to the two piles of materials, "'Magic equipment Whether it is "War Girl" or "Red True Knowledge", they are all branches of research derived from it. The creation ceremony of the super-evolved life body itself is a failed plan that I made a mistake in the key design. The creation derived from this plan is very successful, hehe, sometimes life is so impermanent, failure itself may be another kind of success~"

Zhenyue couldn't help but sighed, "I'm not in the mood to talk about these metaphysical topics with you. The Luna Garden has also been completed, and I'm here to say goodbye today..."

After all, Zhenyue stretched out her right hand and took off the bracelet on her right hand with some reluctance, "You are a very interesting human being. To be honest, I was a little dissatisfied with you when I first served as your deputy. The three thousand years of painstaking efforts to complete the project only helped me to be nominated by the Council of Great Sages, and it was just a nomination, and I was defeated in the end, but you, a human being, have won this honor that I dream of day and night."

Ma Chika took Zhenyue's bracelet and couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, then you actually agreed to come over and be my deputy?"

Zhenyue shook her head, "It was because I was not convinced that I wanted to take a closer look at what kind of person you are from the closest distance. Now I can only say... I am convinced that the title of great sage is indeed the current one. The glory that I can’t get yet, so be it, I’m retiring as a ‘researcher’ now, and I’ll take up my post in the Luna Garden, where I’ll continue to think about my path as a great sage, working with you is a very valuable experience, I I will cherish this memory carefully.”

Ma Chika operated on Zhenyue's bracelet, and after taking back the authority in the bracelet, he returned it to Zhenyue, and at the same time, sincerely blessed.

"Understood, I wish you to find your own path as soon as possible, my... precious friend!"

"...A friend?"

Zhenyue repeated the address in a low voice, and didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, she glanced at the woman next to Ma Chika, and finally, she showed a quite free and easy smile.

"Well, you have to take care of yourself too, pfft, really... I'm just going to be the administrator of the Luna Garden, and I'm not going to any dangerous battlefield, so why say it as if I'll never see you again. Welcome to Luna Courtyard to find me, don't forget, Rubik's Cube's bet... if you lose, you are not allowed to renege..."

After all, without giving Ma Chika any chance to answer or beg for mercy, Masaki put on the bracelet again, pressed it twice, and immediately disappeared into the research room.

"Well, shouldn't I have proposed canceling this hapless bet in the first place?"

Ma Chika seemed a little dumbfounded, "Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes, after all, it's not about life and death, there are plenty of opportunities, and the agreement will definitely be fulfilled~"

After saying this, Macka held out her hand to the woman beside her who seemed to be looking forward to something very much, "Okay, it is very unfortunate to tell you now that you will be on a thief ship with no turning back from today, welcome to be my new boss." Deputy, come, I will help you gain authority."

The woman immediately happily took out a badge and handed it to Macka, "Well, even if the teacher's thief boat capsizes when I go out, I will never get off the boat. If you kick me off the boat, I will definitely hug your leg Drag you along!"

Ma Chika tapped the brooch twice helplessly, "Don't be so scary, that's enough, the permissions are up, let's go, I will take you to my laboratory, you will often use that in the future place."

The woman looked around strangely, "Hey, isn't this the teacher's laboratory?"

Macka immediately explained, "Oh, this is indeed my laboratory, but which mage do you think will have only one laboratory?"

While speaking, Ma Chika connected to the transmission authority, and an electronic sound without any ups and downs sounded.

"Certification question, what are the essential materials for the purification of Ferroto solution?"

"The mandrake roots that have been dried for more than 30 years..."

"Verification passed."

The electronic sound fell, and a portal appeared. At this time, the woman next to Ma Chika couldn't help but say, "Teacher, your certification question is too serious, it is easy to be cracked by others, no, no, no!"

Ma Chika couldn't help laughing and asked, "Oh, so based on what you see, what kind of verification question and answer should be used?"

"Easy to handle!" The woman immediately raised her chest, "First say 'Open Sesame' to trigger the mechanism, then throw something down, and then a spring goddess popped up and asked, 'What you fell is...'"

"...Is this the golden ax or the silver ax? You haven't read fairy tales when you bully others? If you use this kind of code, if people know it, won't your teacher and I have lost all of our fame?"

"Cut..." The woman couldn't help curling her lips, "It's really boring, forget it, just go through the door, right? Let's go~"

After all, the woman walked towards the portal first...

...When her body touched the portal, a burst of light and shadow distorted her body, but this layer of light and shadow was neutralized by the blurred light that had been covering her face, so for a moment, the woman kept hiding The appearance behind the light and shadow is revealed.

A head of brilliant fiery red hair, and that face that Riel was so shocked that Safiri almost fell off...

"Hey... what are you doing!!!"...

Chapter 220 Four: Cold Blade Wuxin ([-])

The picture recorded in the accompanying book was interrupted here, Riel and Sapphire who were pulled back to the laboratory looked at each other strangely, and what they saw at the last moment was still somewhat unacceptable to them.

"That..." Riel said seriously, "So the verification of Danquan Forest was your opinion?"

"...Is this what you care about?" Sapphire was a little stunned for a moment. You said that there is such a large amount of information, you can't pay attention to something, but you just care about this kind of inexplicable place, "That face... Rui Well, do you believe it's a 'coincidence' that two people who have nothing to do with each other have the same face?"

Yes, that face...the woman who called Macka "teacher" had a face familiar to Riel and Safiley...a face that was no different from Safiley.

Whether it is the outline of the facial features or the details of the face, they are all so similar that they come out of the same mold. If the similarity between parents and children is only derived from the "similarity" of blood inheritance, then this girl and Sapphire There is already a degree of "spiritual resemblance" between them, just that one glance, Riel almost mistook the person.

What is the relationship between that girl and Sapphire, and more importantly, Riel remembered something...

The Rubik's Cube in his personal space, and those two conversations with a [-]% similarity.

...I remembered, I can't twist the Rubik's Cube either~

Recalling the similarity in tone at that moment... Riel felt that there were a lot of things stuffed in his head that needed to be digested slowly.

"Well, it might just happen to look like... Do you believe it?"

Riel asked back like that, Safiri immediately stared back with dead fish eyes, "If it's only me, I can still consider it a coincidence, but how to explain the similarity between Lord Machika and you? Two groups of exactly the same size appear at the same time. Similar people appear together at the same time, can this kind of thing be explained by coincidence? Ahhh, what is the situation, I clearly remember that I am the daughter of my father, and it is definitely not someone who came from what It was dug out from the ancient ruins, that woman and I are definitely not the same person!"

"Well, that should be true..."

Riel picked up the essay, thought about it and carefully put it into his character bag.

"So I'm afraid we'll have to look for..."

In the middle of Riel's words, a monitor placed in the laboratory suddenly lit up, and a series of command codes flashed continuously on the screen. Finally, all these command codes disappeared without a trace, leaving only "authority authentication" to pass four word, an electronically synthesized voice sounded in all directions.

"Pass the authority certification, open the zero laboratory..."

The voice fell, and a portal appeared in the laboratory. The swirl-shaped light portal formed by flickering black light was very similar to the portal that Macka and his assistant stepped into in the essay...

... Well, in fact, as long as it is a portal, they all look similar, but Riel and Sapphire obviously didn't do anything, why did this thing suddenly appear?

"This... Could it be because we looked through that essay?" Riel asked back at the same time, Sapphire approached the portal cautiously, and then reached out to touch it lightly. As soon as I touched it, I heard an electronically synthesized voice warning in a sharp tone.

"Warning, I noticed that unauthorized personnel using the portal, please stop your behavior immediately, and enter your verification authority to unblock it..."

As the sound sounded, the edge of the portal began to twist, and bright red lights flickered continuously, giving a concise and clear warning!

Sapphire quickly withdrew her fingers, Riel operated on the console for a while, and the portal finally settled down again, and the flickering red glow gradually disappeared.

"What's the situation?" Sapphire was at a loss, "Didn't it mean that the authority verification has passed?"

"Uh, that might be the case..." Riel said as he stretched out his hand towards the portal. His hand passed through the portal safely and disappeared behind the black vortex. There was no response from the portal. Riel Withdrawing his hand, "It seems that this thing has passed my so-called 'authentication authority'..."

Immediately, Safiley's eyes became very subtle, "Finally, tell me the truth, Riel, if you tell me now that you are the illegitimate son of Lord Macka, I will believe it!"

Uh, if it was Riel in the original game, he might really be considered an illegitimate child, but Riel here has nothing to do with Machika in the game in theory.

Of course, Riel himself can't guarantee that now.

Riel probably knows what is behind the portal. After all, "Lab Zero" is still in the game's settings, but the previous plots really don't exist. Now Riel has no way to continue The world in front of him has changed as a game, and he can now proudly say...

...Made, I won't take the blame this time!

"...Oh, now I don't dare to deny this possibility. In short, since the authority agrees to let me go, I will go and have a look. A laboratory should not be in any danger. It is here, no If you find something useful, you can never go back!"

Riel was about to walk in after finishing speaking, but was stopped by Sapphire from behind...

"Well, what happened?"

Riel turned around strangely, the girl behind her was silent for a while, and suddenly came over...

"...Come on~"

Riel touched his side face, the momentary soft touch of the girl's lips just now was as unrealistic as an illusion, causing Riel to be stunned for several seconds, and then suddenly came to his senses what happened.

Whoops, I’ve spent so long collecting favorability points, this game finally gave me back favorability CG! ! !

How should I put it, it was a sudden and somewhat surprising windfall. The first feeling was that it took me so long to build up my favorability to produce a CG, which was unscientific. The second feeling was that it was unscientific to produce a CG for this scene!

Sapphire herself felt a little embarrassed...

"Strange, why did you suddenly... Well, I feel like I just saw the picture in the essay, and there was a strange impulse..."

"..."

Looking at the memory, you can see that this problem is coming?

Riel didn't want to be too entangled, after all, he really took the benefits, so he continued what he hadn't finished just now.

"OK, then I'll come as I go...see you later~"

This time, Riel really walked into the portal and disappeared without a trace, while Sapphire still stretched out her hand to press her lips in a daze.

"...What's going on? Why, do you think this place is so nostalgic?"

Regardless of how confused Safiri was, after passing through the space gate, Riel immediately called out the AI ​​girl in his consciousness without even thinking about it.

"Okay, tell me honestly..." Riel said in a tone of "there is only one truth", "What does that woman in the picture just now, Ma Chika's assistant, have to do with you?"

When Riel suddenly asked her, the AI ​​girl immediately yelled at her injustice, "Huh?! You clearly saw it clearly, that woman looks the same as Safiley, and she has something to do with Safiley. , You see, your character in the game is Ma Chika, and the default heroine corresponds to the assistant who liked Ma Chika back then, isn't this a very standard to vulgar development of kingship?!"

"So...can you explain to me about the Rubik's Cube?"
