Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

"No...no."

"Then watch it again."

Mandela's attitude was straightforward, or it could be described as swift and resolute. Susie barely kept up with her pace and thinking, and imitated her to cast spells forward.

After practicing for twenty minutes, there is a ten-minute break. After class, students can choose whether to continue practicing or go home directly. After this class, many students put away their staffs and agreed to go outside the school to explore and play.

Mandela is still practicing her rock Originium skills. Currently, she has two points to overcome. One is the casting speed of the Originium skills, and the other is the quality of the rock. To deal the most damage at the fastest speed is Mandela's current small goal. She is not aiming too high, and her current target is only Senomi.

Senomi has been following the pioneer brother for a long time. She has attracted a lot of attention from the pioneer brother, which makes Mandela feel a sense of crisis and she has to become stronger.

Susie imitated Mandela and cast a spell. A thick blue electric current flew out from her staff and hit the surface of the doll, causing static electricity in a small area.

This attack is not only fast, but also causes good damage.

Susie happily hugged Mandela, "Thank you... Thank you, Mandela. If it weren't for you... I would never have made such rapid progress."

Mandela's body stiffened slightly at Susie's sudden action, and she subconsciously wanted to push Susie away, but she held back.

Susie seemed to sense the stiffness of Mandela's body, and hurriedly let go of Mandela. She found that the hair on her ears and tail had exploded, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mandela... I was too excited just now. I won't do such a thing again. Please... please forgive me."

Both of them had messy hair at this time, looking like they had just been struck by lightning.

"Nothing, I don't mind actually."

Mandela said lightly.

Susie was touched after hearing these words. She looked at the angry Mandela and felt warm in her heart.

"It would be great if...Mandela-san was a friend."

"Friends?"

Susie covered her mouth in panic. She had just thought about it casually, so why did she say it out loud? How would classmate Mandela look at her... Would he think it was rude of her to want to make friends right away?

Mandela looked Susie up and down, which made the girl panic to a certain extent.

"sure."

"Eh?"

"I said yes." Mandela smiled. She had learned to smile again after traveling with her pioneer brother. "But I won't be studying here for long. Are you sure you want to be friends with me, Susie?"

"want!"

Susie said with great momentum, and then smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, I was a little excited just now."

"It's fine."

Mandela glanced at the clock on the school wall and said, "There is still some time before school is over. Let's practice for a while."

"Okay!" Susie responded to Mandela with her cute and energetic voice.

......

The sky was dyed red. Xia Yuan ended a day of hammering iron in the factory. While hammering iron, she chatted with Mini Muerseth, learning about the recent orders of Rhine Life and the movements of the military and the Melander Foundation. Muerseth joked that she was working two jobs now. In addition to taking care of her ecological park, she also had to report tasks to Xia Yuan.

What the words mean is a salary increase.

So Xia Yuan generously raised the salary of the lovely elf lady. He had money and he could do what he wanted.

This feeling of waiting for a child is really amazing. Xia Yuan came to the school gate and watched the parents picking up their children with smiles on their faces - this was the first time he experienced this feeling as a parent. After all, he had already become a virgin in his previous life, and was expected to transform into a great magician at the age of thirty. He had never had a boyfriend or been married, so naturally he had no children.

He saw Mandela from afar, and Mandela also saw him, waved and smiled brightly.

Her other hand was holding that of another smiling pink-haired girl.

Xia Yuan felt gratified as a parent. She didn't expect that Mandela made friends on her first day at school. That's great!

But why are the two of them so angry?

"elder brother!"

Mandela came to Xia Yuan, stood on tiptoe and gave Xia Yuan a big hug, "Do you miss me?"

"Of course I did. Let's talk about today's campus life while we walk." Xia Yuan rubbed Mandela's head.

He looked at the pink-haired girl standing aside, a little reserved, and asked with a smile: "Hello, I am Mandela's brother, what is your name?"

Chapter 77 I am not a kidnapper

The pink-haired girl's hair was still frizzy. She clutched the hem of her clothes and whispered, "Sir... My name is Susie Grit."

When Xia Yuan heard this name, it immediately awakened a memory from his previous life. When he was working at Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Company, he spent most of his time doing some logistical production work, and he was quite familiar with Klushier at that time.

Ever since he saw this girl, he felt that she was a little familiar, as if he had seen her before. After hearing the name, he immediately had some impression. He had seen this name when he was looking through the personnel files. At that time, she had her own code name and also worked in the logistics department.

It’s just that she and Xia Yuan didn’t have much interaction, because Xia Yuan remembered that she had some health problems and couldn’t get close to electrical appliances, otherwise the appliances would be directly scrapped. This was also the information she learned when chatting with Klushier.

These plot characters all came to his doorstep, and Xia Yuan was happy. Oh, he had to admit that after saving Senomi and bringing Mandela along, his luck got better day by day. It turned out that Mandela made a friend who turned out to be a colleague from his previous life. Is this what they called absorbing good luck?

Then he will have to breathe more in the future.

"Just call me Pioneer, no need to call me sir. I'm not that old." Amid Mandela's laughter, Xia Yuan stroked Mandela's ruffled hair. The girl closed her eyes softly and hummed comfortably.

He looked at Susie again, "Susie, where are your parents?"

"Ah... they may have work to do today, so I'll go home by myself." Susie explained in a low voice.

Susie's voice is very soft and sweet, like that of a tender girl, and it is really comfortable to listen to.

"Is your home close to here? If it's too far, and you're too young, it's dangerous for you to walk alone at night."

"Ah... It's quite close." Susie obviously didn't want to trouble Xia Yuan, or was afraid of bothering him. She politely bowed to Xia Yuan and Mandela, "Thank you for your concern, Pioneer brother... That, Mandela, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, Susie."

Mandela waved slightly and watched the pink-haired girl trotting away with her bag. She was very fast and seemed to be in good physical condition.

Mace came to the two of them with a shopping bag of prepared food in her hand. She looked at the little girl walking away and asked, "Who is that?"

"This is the friend Mandela made on his first day of school today."

Xia Yuan's voice was full of pride. Jian chuckled and stroked Mandela's head with his free hand, "Well done, well done."

"whee."

The group walked towards home and picked up Senomi on the way home. When Xia Yuan saw her, he found that there were several girls gathered around her, and they were chatting happily.

Xia Yuan waved to Senomi, who smiled and trotted over, "Master—"

Xia Yuan coughed loudly. Damn it! If he called himself "master" in public, wouldn't he be killed immediately? Fortunately, Senomi's voice was not loud, and only a few people who were nearby heard it.

Jian had a weird smile on his face and remained silent. Well, if he laughed, the boss would be too pitiful.

Although this method was not wrong, Xia Yuan still squatted down to correct the mistake, "Senomie, from now on, just call me brother when you are outside. It's okay to call me master when we are together in private."

Senomi nodded and smiled, "I understand."

"Then go home."

Xia Yuan held Senomi in one hand and Mandela in the other and set out on the journey home, while Jian walked in front to open the door.

She didn't buy these vegetables herself, and Jian's job was not to be a chef. It was a waste of talent to let a famous black knight of Casimir cook for him. Xia Yuan himself didn't have any cooking skills. The most he could do was make instant noodles.

Senomi had been silently honing her cooking skills while traveling with Xia Yuan and Jian. After several months of practice, the food she made was now worthy of being served in a restaurant as a delicacy that would be considered a chef's dish. After all, being responsible for the master's food and daily life was also a maid's job. Now that Xia Yuan understood that she had not been responsible for the sleeping arrangements, she had to at least make sure the master and Sister Jian were happy with every meal.

Besides, Xia Yuan didn't really treat her as a slave or a maid. Instead, he treated her like his own sister. Senomi felt so happy every day when she woke up... as if she was living in a dream. Her master rescued her from the market and treated her like a family member. Now she can't live without her master.

Senomi tied on an apron and went to the stove to start working. Although they were staying in a hotel, it looked like a converted home and even had its own kitchen.

Mandela did not covet the warmth of her pioneer brother, but quickly came to Senomi's side and began to learn from her and help her.

During dinner, the two girls told each other about their first day of school. They both looked forward to campus life. For them, who were not qualified and could not go to school in the past, the feeling of entering school and learning knowledge was a happy one.

Xia Yuan and Jian listened with a smile. He planned to bring them to the Leitania academy to study for a period of time when he went to Leitania.

Leitania in May and Colombia in June, the plan is already set.

Senomi and Mandela both had homework to do. After dinner, Xia Yuan took the dishes to the sink. The cleaner would come to clean tomorrow. The two girls sat at the table and did their homework seriously.

Xia Yuan was amazed. They were all good students. Unlike him, he would get distracted and go to the toilet to slack off while doing his homework.

After the study, it was time for Jian Yujie to teach. The three of them came to the yard and began to stretch their bodies. Dinner was finished at this time, and they did some body stretching exercises before going to bed. Senomi continued to follow Jian's movements and imitate and move them in a rigid manner.

The next day, after sending Senomi and Mandela to school, Xia Yuan came to the factory as usual.

When he came here yesterday, he observed that most of the weapons produced here were for use by border soldiers. This was a great opportunity for Xia Yuan to touch the blueprints. He still rented his own area in the factory as an outsider and started banging and hammering while touching the weapons in the factory.

He wanted a blueprint for a weapon called a Battering Pike, which was used by the Victorian army and was ideal for vanguards. It also had a gun shield that could fire up to ten rounds of ammunition in a very short period of time. To make a Battering Pike, only blacksmith and craftsman knowledge was required, but to make a gun shield, one had to master mechanical knowledge.

In the previous life, apart from contacting Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals' operator Hongyun to complete the mission and obtain the Mechanic's Notebook, the only remaining option was Victoria.

Victoria masters the most advanced mechanical engineering technology in the entire Terra. Mechanical engineering is divided into mechanics and engineers... Xia Yuan has completed many series of tasks here, but it was a pity in his previous life that the enrollment indicators of the Royal Guard Academy were too difficult, and they did not recruit players. I heard that this was to ensure loyalty!

Mechanical engineering is taught in the Royal Guards School, and to be honest, Xia Yuan is a little envious.

The military factories here are obviously not as good as the factories in the capital, Londinium, and most of the weapons produced are of ordinary types, but Xia Yuan is not too disappointed. He believes that these ordinary weapons can become weapons similar to city-breaking spears after his mechanical modifications.

Considering that he was going to Leitania next, Xia Yuan began to rub his staff.

As the name suggests, the Originium staff needs to be made of pure Originium - the price of pure Originium is not cheap, which also makes the price of each staff used by the warlock much more expensive than cold weapons.

Pure Originium is a crystal of Originium that is used in huge quantities in industry, but it is difficult to extract. It is the main energy product of Ark, and is also the basis for almost all Originium skills. Nowadays, even though the rumor that "it can spread terminal diseases" is rampant, not many people can resist its temptation.

Pure Originium is not Originium fragments. Originium fragments are collected from highly polluted areas. They have a high threat of infection and a certain probability of mutation. The steps and cycles to process them into pure Originium are complicated and difficult, which is also the main reason why pure Originium is not cheap.

To be on the safe side, Xia Yuan still wore protective clothing and a mask when he was rubbing the staff to isolate himself from possible Originium dust accidents, etc. However, his technique was very steady, and the pure Originium was processed very finely, and it was not the inferior goods on the black market.

To be honest, Xia Yuan still prefers the weapons in the singularity on the land of Kazdel to the staff. Those ancient weapons have very high attributes. Although they have certain debuff side effects, it's worth getting them if you can.

The day when Ji Ling would collect materials was not far away. He was already trying to contact the Chamber of Commerce of Casimir and wrote down several materials he needed. At the same time, he also asked Muerseth to buy the necessary materials for him in the market in Columbia. As long as he had Ji Ling, he would be able to explore or fight more safely.

After a few days, Xia Yuan figured out several weapon blueprints and knocked out hundreds of staffs. To be honest, it was still a drop in the bucket for so many players who chose warlocks. Xia Yuan had no other choice. Knocking out staffs was much more difficult than knocking out cold weapons. His craftsman level was not high, so he could not save a lot of time.

If he had the sub-class of Originium Scientist, he would be able to rub staffs much faster. However, this sub-class is too difficult to obtain. One has to go to college to obtain it, which is really unfortunate.

Mandela brought him a piece of news that the Warlock Academy would hold a parent-teacher meeting in the next two days, and she wanted to invite Xia Yuan to attend the meeting as her family member.

Xia Yuan didn't have any mission, so he nodded and agreed naturally. However, he suspected that he couldn't understand the warlock terms used by the teachers, which might be a bit embarrassing.

The next day, Xia Yuan changed into decent clothes and went to the Warlock School after school. Today, Jian went to pick up Senomi, so they would go home and start cooking first.

Mandela held Susie's little hand and waved to Xia Yuan with a smile.

Xia Yuan walked forward with a smile. He found that a middle-aged man with a haggard face had appeared beside him. He quickly walked up to Susie and gave her a big hug.

"Dad." Susie was a little happy, but when she saw her father's face, her happiness quickly turned into worry.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Pioneer that Susie mentioned." The middle-aged man looked at Mandela and Xia Yuan gently, and smiled at Mandela. "You must be classmate Mandela, thank you for being friends with Susie."

“It’s been an honor to be friends with Susie.”

Mandela behaved politely in public and tried very hard to save face for Xia Yuan.

The middle-aged man looked at Xia Yuan and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Pioneer."

"Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Grit."

The two guardians smiled at each other, but Xia Yuan was a little puzzled when he saw the other's pale face. From his actions, it could be seen that he was deeply tired, and dark circles were engraved under his eyelids... This was an obvious sign of overwork.

The two walked towards the classroom with their children. They were greeted by Mandela and Susie's head teacher. He did not talk about some sorcerer's subjects and terms, but just introduced to the parents what the children should do if they wanted to practice privately.

Mr. Grete seemed to be asleep, while Susie was taking notes seriously. Xia Yuan kept in mind what the warlock teacher said, and would be able to use it to arrange Mandela's training schedule in the future.

It was only a few hours from the time Xia Yuan met Mr. Grete to the time they parted, but she could already feel his tiredness as the head of the family.

The parent-teacher meeting was just a small disturbance. When Xia Yuan and Jian picked up Mandela a few days later, there was a hint of sadness on her little face. Xia Yuan discovered that Susie, who had always been by her side, did not seem to come today.

"What happened, Mandra?"

Mandela's face was disappointed. "Susie didn't come today, so I asked the teacher out of curiosity, and I heard that they had already dropped out... Susie loves Originium so much, and she's about to graduate, so it's impossible for her to drop out."

Xia Yuan pursed his lips. He thought of Mr. Grete's overworked complexion a few days ago and seemed to have guessed something.

"Do you know the direction to Susie's house?"
