Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 971 38. Underground City
Chapter 971 Thirty-eight. Underground City
The sequence potion in the stomach bag, the sequence potion in the alchemy rack, and they are all double-these sequence potions are worth enough to hire a team on the leaderboard for a few months.
But now it sounds like Lu Li can do more than that.
"Can you afford more potions?" Kiruat said.
"Um."
"Okay, we know you're rich...but are you sure you want to put all your assets into the squad? I mean...probably the team's monthly earnings won't be able to buy a top 100 serial potion."
"not all."
"Not all is how much..." Jaeger couldn't help but lower his voice.
A scary figure that is hard to digitize.
"Can buy the entire Giant Tree Academy." Lu Li said, or the entire human world.
"Giant Tree Academy is priceless—" Jaeger suddenly paused, his tone full of disbelief: "What do you mean?"
"almost."
The more merchants trade, the more Lu Li's wealth is linked to real money. In other words, his string of numbers is getting closer to real existence.
"Millions and tens of millions?" Naxi asked tentatively.
"More."
The Holy Light Team struggled to remove the topic from Lu Li's wealth and returned to the first mission itself.
Nav's proposal to patrol the surface buffer zone was rejected by both Kiruat and Jaeger.
"There are countless weirdos out there who want to kill Lu Li. It's not a good choice to go to the surface..."
Excludes surface missions, and there are not many options left, either interlayer patrols, or patrols outside the restricted area,
"I thought of a suitable task." Kiruat said: "Investigate the incident in the late night city."
Midnight City, a new city after Midnight City was moved underground.
As the shelter of the Midnight Lady, the Midnight City is guarded by the five knights, and there are countless sects gathered here, which are strangely coveted and difficult to set foot in.
"What do you think?" Kiruat waited for Lu Li's decision.
"Can."
"I'll go to the task hall to find a suitable task." Kiruat left the round table.
Naxi stood up in a panic: "I'm with you."
"Me too... hiss." Jaeger, who was pulling the wound on his leg, breathed in and was pushed back to his seat by Kiruat.
"I will go with Naxi, and you will stay with Lu Li." Kiruaite put on his cloak and said, "Your presence may make those teams even more jealous."
"Bring the potion."
Lu Li opened his stomach bag and rummaged, and took out two bottles of serial No. 113 medicine before the stomach bag was closed again to digest his palms.
"Protection potion, which can block weak curses and malice, drink it now."
"Uh...then I won't go." Naxi took off his half-worn cloak again, reluctant to consume one more potion.
Kiruat did not refuse. She took the protective medicine before departure. She did not doubt the maliciousness of the middle-aged to the Holy Light team at this moment.
Waiting for Kiruat to leave the lounge, Lu Li opened the eyeball wooden box, and while waiting for the arrival of the merchant Anthony, he asked Naxi: "Tell me about the late night city."
Naxi is a resident of the late night city, and his family lives in the inner city of the late night city.
Because of the migration from the surface underground, Midnight City, or the residents of Midnight City, were redistributed...
is divided into eternal classes.
The powerful and the masters of mystical powers live in Canterlot, the heart of Night City. The headquarters of the five knights, the Midnight Lady Church, the Alchemist Association, and the caveman general business are all located here, and the residents of the outer city cannot set foot there.
The inner city, the glue of the late night city, is also the place of prosperity. Central City residents can come here, as can outer city residents. Most of the poor nobles, most religious orders, middle class or businessmen who live here, as well as the families of the students of the Giant Tree Academy.
Outer City, the most vast and most populous area in the late night city.
Humans from the dark fields or the old sewers or farther migrate every moment, and every moment there are lucky people from the outer city to the inner city residents. That's where all the poor and the homeless stay, and the most chaotic area of the late night city.
Because the rest of the sect and the Newborn Church harvest beliefs and incubate gods here, and also because of the hidden dangers brought to Midnight City by the arrival of new citizens every moment.
And chaos is only relative. Even in the periphery of the late night city, it can bring a sense of security more than the town of the gods.
Most of the late night city investigation tasks issued by the Giant Tree Academy are related to the outer city. Occasionally appear in the inner layers, but it is no longer a task for middle or upper grades - the weirdness of sneaking into the inner city is obviously more difficult to deal with and more dangerous.
Team Light has experience with several late night city investigation missions. After receiving the mission, they went to the mission location, searched, investigated, found the problem, and then returned to the Giant Tree Academy to submit the results, or left to solve the problem.
The latter will be rewarded due to the increase in difficulty, but the Holy Light team all choose to return to submit the quest after investigation.
Because of the lack of strength of the Holy Light team, and because of their unfortunate encounters with strangeness in several investigation missions. Such as the monstrous disguised as a human, or occupying a human body, or an item that stores a grotesque consciousness.
This division of labor made Lu Li think of investigators.
This is how the three major organizations of the old days divided their labor: the investigators investigated the incident, and the night watchman handled the incident.
Although the division of investigation tasks is limited by the strength of students.
The merchant Anthony arrived a little slower than usual. In addition to responding to Lu Li's call, it brought a message.
"Chris let you go, now."
Lu Li asked the businessman Anthony to prepare 4 more stomach bags and 8 sets of serial potions. Jaeger and Naxi left the lounge and went to the lower-level senior alchemy office.
"It's for us?"
After Lu Li left, Naxi's question rang softly in the quiet lounge.
"Captain, you, me, Margaery... that substitute, I think so."
"Lu Li is really generous..."
They are far richer now than when Margaret was alive. In other words, there is no more extravagant team in the entire Giant Tree Academy.
But their mood soon became lost.
Light Team would rather Margaret hadn't died.
…
knock knock --
"Come in darling."
Lu Li pushed the door and walked into the Alchemy Office.
"It seems that you like the life in the tree trunk area very much." Professor Chris, who was taking care of her long hair in front of the dressing table, looked at Lu Li from the mirror: "Otherwise, why did it take so long to see me?"
"Are the controllers here?" Lu Li ignored Professor Chris' coquettish tone.
"Another thing. The Knights found a clue about the merchant, in Late Night City."
"anything else."
Lu Li didn't think that was the only thing that Professor Chris called him over.
"The guy from the collection merchant has made a request, he wants to meet you."
"it?"
"A guy who lives in the inner city, isn't human, likes humans. It might say something embarrassing to you, but it won't hurt you."
"Can."
The beautiful face in the mirror narrowed her long and narrow eyes: "Can you help me tie up my hair?"
"Can't."
…
Return to the rest room of the Holy Light Team, Kiruat has already accepted the mission and returned.
"We leave early tomorrow morning."
