Li Qingcheng looked at Xu Le in surprise:
"Xu Le, why are you asking this? You can't be..."
"No, I'm just asking casually. Can you answer? Is it possible for the recruited people to get the command of the team?"
“Although there are no clear regulations on this, most of the time it is directed by officials.
If the power of command falls into someone else's hands and if the people cannot be convinced, then a worse situation may occur, so it is highly unlikely to work."
Hearing this, Xu Le nodded slightly.
It seems that it is a bit difficult to take command of a team and explore freely.
But if people don't listen, the benefits of an outing will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
What should I do
How about recruiting mercenaries and working on your own
It didn't seem to be a good idea. After buying guns and bullets, as well as some medicine and projectiles, the money in his pocket had reached a very precarious state.
He decided to keep the wolf fruit for a while.
This biological fruit can directly enhance the strength of warriors.
If we can pull together a team, it would be very useful.
Let’s first see how much money we can get from one mission.
The main material of the mental energy shielding device is the leaves of the ancient Yinduo tree, followed by the seal and rune energy circuit.
Logically speaking, the cost shouldn't be very high.
Xu Le decided that, no matter what, he would go out to collect resources and see what the returns would be.
If the difference is really big, then consider selling the fruit to raise money.
Xu Le entered a state of ethereal thinking. It seemed like he was thinking for a long time, but in fact it only took a few seconds.
So in Li Qingcheng's eyes, he just hesitated for a moment and continued to ask:
"So what are the regular equipments for you law enforcers? What will you do if your mind energy becomes unstable?"
"Psychic energy neutralizers, or everyone can bring their favorite things, snacks, etc.
This kind of thing should be similar in every city-state."
Very good, at least for now, there seems to be no equipment similar to the mental energy shielding device in Zion.
Maybe no one has thought of it, or maybe someone has thought of it but is unable to do it.
"Faxing Li answered many of my questions today. Thank you so much."
Xu Le was truly grateful, but Li Qingcheng always felt that the name "Li Fazhi" was a mockery and a stab in her heart.
"Xu Le, even if we broke up, you don't need to be so sarcastic to me."
Wang Man on the side was secretly happy. A few years is enough to completely change a person.
It's like a transformation of her self.
And Xu Le's changes in recent years are even greater than hers.
Who could have thought that a boy who was once somewhat dull, autistic, and even a little cowardly could shock the entire audience and kill the black cicada on the night of the Black Tide.
Wang Man was certain that Li Qingcheng now didn't understand Xu Le at all, at least not as well as she did.
Xu Le was also a little puzzled. He was speaking nicely just now, and his thanks were sincere.
Why did it become a mockery
The only memories of the original owner's past were about the big things that happened to Li Qingcheng.
For example, when he went to her house, he was scolded by her parents and insulted as a little punk by her relatives. In the face of oppression, Li Qingcheng remained silent, and finally he was forced to take the initiative to break up.
Looking at those memories, even Xu Le himself felt that the original owner had a difficult time.
He himself had no interest in the past affairs between the original owner and Li Qingcheng. He asked Li Qingcheng for advice only because they barely knew each other.
Moreover, he was pressed for time, unfamiliar with the place, and had no one more suitable to ask.
So, Xu Le prepared to explain it carefully.
"Fascist Li, you misunderstood. I really didn't mean to mock you. My thanks are from the bottom of my heart. Please believe me.
Maybe there are some past events between us, but the past is the past, and we have all grown up.
I don’t want to dwell on the past anymore, the road ahead is still long.
You are not waiting for me, you are waiting for... the day to reconcile with those unforgettable memories.
Li Enforcement, look forward to the future."
Xu Le's tone was so sincere that even Wang Man and Ding Ke, who was eating, stopped eating.
I don’t know what Li Qingcheng, who has been immersed in the past, thinks, but Xu Le’s words cut off the last thoughts in her heart.
She lowered her head and whispered:
"Xu Le, have you been doing well in the past few years?"
Faced with this problem, Xu Le thought for a while.
“I’m trying to get better.”
Li Qingcheng suddenly understood that Xu Le had already let it go, but she was the one who couldn't let it go.
“I just feel sorry.”
"Hmm? What's the regret?"
"We have been together for so many years, but we don't even have a photo together."
"No, it's good."
"Yeah, it's good."
After walking out of the hotel, Xu Le waved goodbye to Li Qingcheng.
Her emotional destination and so on are all the original owner's business. He is no longer the original Xu Le.
Make a decision immediately.
Xu Le looked at Wang Man, but before he could say anything, Wang Man stopped him.
"Brother Xu Le, please don't say anything, especially those words you just said to Cheng Zi, please don't say them, please.
I cried my heart out once last time at the airship field.
I have a low tear point, I will burst into tears if you say that, Brother Xu Le, I will come to play with you again when I have time, bye, woo! ~"
"Forehead… "
Xu Le looked at Wang Man who ran away in a flash, feeling a little puzzled.
Her ability to predict in advance is quite something!
Xu Le looked at the pile of cat snacks left by Wang Man, frowned slightly, and looked at Ding Ke.
Ding Ke immediately stretched out his claws to protect it, the meaning was very clear.
"If you dare send the snacks back, I'll kill you!"
Xu Le was helpless. Although these snacks were not expensive, they looked like they were carefully selected and indeed showed a lot of thought.
He is really poor now, and even if he is not poor, he would not do such a wasteful thing.
"Forget it, let's go back."
…
When I returned to the studio, Yi Xiaoya was dozing off at the door with a bottle of wine in her hand.
Xu Le was afraid that he would disturb her, so he walked on tiptoe.
But when he passed by Yi Xiaoya, the old woman suddenly laughed:
"Hehehe, young people are quite popular."
The sudden voice made Xu Le twitch uncontrollably. This old woman's voice was really too loud.
"What is Miss Yi Xiaoya talking about?"
"Don't try to hide it. I saw it clearly from the second floor. Hehehe, can you introduce a date to Weiss so that he doesn't have to look at his doll all day long?"
When it comes to matters of the heart, isn't it up to you
"There's nothing you can do to help with this kind of thing, right?"
"If Weiss had your cleverness, he wouldn't be almost 27 and still have no girlfriend.
Other people are 27, their children are old enough to play with soy sauce, he is really useless when it comes to dating, what do you think? "
Who would say that about their grandson? Even though he's a great-great-great-grandson.
"You will find it naturally when the time is right." Xu Le said reluctantly.
"Oh, I'm afraid he's not destined to be with me. Our family's bloodline will be extinct. You won't let an old woman like me have another child, will you? Wuwuwu!"
While Yi Xiaoya was crying, she did not forget to secretly glance at Xu Le.
For this acting, Xu Le can only give 0 points.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Yi Xiaoya seemed to have noticed the large amount of bullets, explosives and medicines in Xu Le's hands, and suddenly asked:
"You, are you planning to go out into the wild to make money? Great, I can't drink this kind of rubbish anymore, hehehe."
Making money in the wild? That seems to be the case.
“Probably. We have no more research funding, and if we don’t produce any results, our studio will be shut down.
Although I have just joined the studio, I am also ready to build a career, so I plan to make some achievements to avoid the studio's license being revoked.
Of course, everything is based on research funding. Red Moon Technology must be completed by warlocks. Now that we don’t have any products, we can’t always expect others to invest.”
Although Yi Xiaoya is a bit nervous, she is the head of this studio after all.
There was no need to hide anything about R&D funding and going out, so Xu Le just spoke out.
When Yi Xiaoya heard this, her brows furrowed.
"You guys actually want to continue your research. You might as well spend so much money on wine and cucumbers. Really."
"Young people have to do something. Life can't just be about wine and cucumbers, right?"
Yi Xiaoya pondered for a while and finally nodded.
"That seems to make sense. Since you are going out to help the studio make money, as the studio leader, you naturally have to show some appreciation."
Hearing Yi Xiaoya's words, Xu Le waved his hand quickly:
"No, no, Miss Yi Xiaoya, I really don't eat cucumbers.
I have some experience with outbound pioneer missions, and Zion's missions do not have very stringent requirements for completion.
So the danger level is not very high.”
"Well, I don't know why you hate pickles so much, but the expression I'm talking about is not the kind of thing that people like.
Now, keep this carefully. As a level 2 warlock, I think you should be able to find its use."
Yi Xiaoya said as she handed Xu Le a piece of strange paper.
The paper looks wrinkled, with 3 dots in the middle, 3 more dots inside, and 3 more dots on the outermost edge.
If connected together, it would be probably 3 overlapping triangles of different sizes.
Xu Le took it and took a look at it using the Ancient Sound Multi-Vision.
Fragments of a Planeswalker
Effect: 10 seconds after activation, it takes you back to the place where the mage reminisces, and disappears after use.
Xu Le looked at this thing, was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes and mouth gradually opened wide.
Oh shit!
If we talk about elementalization and scarecrow of life, they are both life-saving skills.
Then the function of this piece of paper is probably equivalent to an escape skill.
The only ability that can help him escape is the Hope effect of the Black Card.
And it is far less flexible than the toilet paper in front of you!
"Senior..."
Yi Xiaoya interrupted Xu Le directly:
"Hehe, I'm 18 years old and you call me senior?"
Xu Le had no choice but to change his name.
"Is Miss Yi Xiaoya a planeswalker?"
"Hehehe, you can actually tell the function of this thing at a glance? You really are a very smart guy.
Smart guys will be envied by others, be careful or I will go to your door at night and steal your shoes, hehehe."
Yi Xiaoya was still like a lunatic, talking nonsense.
However, based on the observations of the ancient world, this piece of fragmentary memories of the planeswalker should be authentic, but it's a pity that it can only be used once.
"Why didn't Miss Yi Xiaoya give this valuable thing to Brother Li, but gave it to me?"
"How do you know he doesn't have anything better than you? That's really stupid."
Xu Le: …
It seems to be true. After all, Yi Xiaoya is Brother Li's elder, so she will naturally give Brother Li more powerful equipment.
No wonder Levis didn't seem worried at all about the mission.
It turns out that the other person has a return scroll, and it is very likely to be of a higher level than his.
"Then thank you, Miss Yi Xiaoya."
"If you have time to thank me, you might as well spend some money to buy me some good wine. Verbal thanks are not as effective as sincere thanks, hahaha."
"Okay, when we come back this time, we will definitely buy some good wine for Miss Yi Xiaoya."
“Hahahaha!”
Yi Xiaoya laughed, opened the door and left. This time Xu Le saw it clearly. She opened a door in the air in front of him.
Then the man walked through the door and disappeared.
"I'm so envious of this ability!"
Meow! ~
Ding Ke seemed a little arrogant and indifferent to Xu Le's envious look.
After returning to his room, Xu Le put the bullets and other things on the table, and then he saw the note left by Ding Ke last night.
Taboo Warlock LV2 Secret Technique - Slave of Fate
Slave of Fate: Sacrifice a large amount of anima and an Ancient Sound card to summon a special monster. Each anima and card will summon a different monster.
How to practice: Guide the heart energy and blood to perform the fate slavery ritual, use blood and soul as a guide, enslave and break free from the weirdness of fate.
The Fate Strangeness is extremely risky and special, and unlike the Forbidden Psychic Summoning, it does not have obedience and can only be enslaved.
Note: This technique is dangerous
After taking a puzzled look, Xu Le immediately wrote down the spells, incantations and practice methods.
His desire for the technique is very strong.
Especially the techniques within the Forbidden Warlock's professional system, he knew how hard it was to obtain them, so he was impressed at the first sight of the techniques.
Xu Le’s first reaction was to record the content and then decide whether it was true or not.
After remembering it, Xu Le looked at Ding Ke:
"Is this what you left behind?"
Meow! ~
Ding Ke held his head high and chest out, looking very proud.
Xu Le smiled. He did not practice this technique at this time. Both the content of the technique and the final notes showed that this technique was very dangerous.
Xu Le thought it would be better to wait until daytime, when there was a safer environment, before considering practicing.
"Let's rub the bullets first."
Xu Le took out the bullets he had bought, and there were a lot of them.
He planned to extract the mental energy to make about three magazines, which means about 18 mental energy bullets.
Then, part of the remaining bullet was smeared with strange ashes.
There are no alchemists now, so we can only use this slightly clumsy method to enhance our strength.
Because not many bone ash bullets were needed, Xu Le started practicing elementalization after making about 90 bullets.
He has to make use of every minute that comes his way. After all, it's already October and there are less than three months left.
Golden thunder was spreading on Xu Le's fingers. After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of integrating lightning into the firearm.
He had done this before, but most ordinary firearms could not withstand the power of the elements.
The black stick is OK.
In this way, Xu Le practiced all night, alternating between elementalization, spell memorization, and spell drawing.
He still doesn't know the specific training method of the Dramatist, nor does he know the specific upper limit of LV2.
Therefore, we can only strengthen it in other aspects.
The next morning, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Knock knock knock.
"Is Xu Le here?"
It was Levis who knocked on the door. After Xu Le heard it, he quickly put away the information of the forbidden warlock and responded:
"Brother Li? What's the matter?"
"I have made the scarecrow you requested."
What a fast progress!
Xu Le was somewhat touched. It seemed that Levis really took his affairs to heart.
Although it was also because he was unable to complete the research and development due to excessive pressure, the fact that he was able to make the scarecrow in just one day and one night was enough to show his dedication.
Buying materials and making them should take a lot of effort.
"Brother Li, you're so quick? Thank you so much. Here's how much it costs."
"No, no, this little money is just a drop in the bucket. It won't make you poor, and it won't make me rich.
I'm helping you with this in the hope that our subsequent actions will go smoothly, and you don't have to worry too much about it.
After I stop researching swords, I can only study puppets on weekdays."
Xu Le nodded. It is true that you cannot become rich, but I am not sure whether I can become poor...
600 yuan is a lot of pressure for him now.
"Thank you so much. Is the mission over? When do we leave?"
"There is a wooded area in the 5-13 extension area. There are no buildings there. It's not very dangerous. We can start testing the waters here."
"A woodland mission?"
Xu Le knew that the abandoned city mission was the most difficult mission.
For example, the Block 53 mission he had experienced was really difficult.
In fact, most of the pioneer missions are in grasslands, mountains, deserts, ordinary plains, etc.
Of course, the missions in the Gobi Desert and ordinary plains have the lowest value, while the rewards for missions in forests and mountains are much higher.
But these tasks cannot be compared with the city area and ancient ruins tasks.
"Do you think it's difficult? If you don't think it's possible, we can wait for a plain mission."
Xu Le didn't find it difficult, but rather felt it was a little too simple.
"No, no, the forest area missions are pretty good, I think I should be fine."
"Okay, then we'll set off the day after tomorrow."
"OK."
After the two of them made an appointment, Xu Le made preparations for another two days. During these two days, he simply tried to practice the Slave of Fate technique.
Even when there was no summons, he could hear that unwilling cry.
This cry comes from the card itself, as if the card itself seals some kind of weirdness.
"The abilities of the forbidden sorcerer don't seem quite normal..."
…
On the day of the mission, Xu Le was dressed simply and followed Levis to the Law Enforcer Hall.
That is the contract location for the recruitment mission.
Xu Le was playing with the Gu Yinduo cards and picked one at random to tell fortunes for himself.
Red Card-Flowers
A small flower is blooming and breaking through the soil.
Positive: Life, strength, and hope.
Reverse: Rebirth
Seeing this card, Xu Le narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Flowers? It's a rare omen."
After arriving at the agreed task force gathering point, a slightly arrogant but very surprised voice called out to Xu Le from behind.
"Xu Le, you're actually back?"
Xu Le turned his head to look.
Holy shit! This guy looks a bit like him.
But Xu Le can be sure of one thing.
This guy is not as handsome as him.
