"Is there anything special about this thing?"
Duke asked very curiously.
On the side, Pan Ming did the same, and both of them noticed Lu Li's behavior.
At this moment, he was staring at a pocket watch in trance. The material should be silver, with vines and gears printed on it...
Other than that, there is nothing special about it.
"This should be the compensation given by the principal."
Lu Li felt it was a little ridiculous. In the past few exams, if the school sealed certain abilities of the candidates, they would provide clear compensation.
In the era of the big universe, a star map about the earth was given. Although it has never been useful, it can be used in the future if it is not complete——
A large-scale scene like this can still be used even if you enter senior grades, or in other words, only senior students have room to play.
But this time, there was no prompt.
"How about you try to string it up?"
Pan Ming took out his pocket watch. This was done by robbing the rich to give to the poor. At this moment, he looked at the time and said solemnly: "It should be 10:32 now, yours is two minutes late."
"Are you sure it's accurate?"
As he said that, Duke patted his pocket. The inside was cleaner than his face, so he couldn't help correct the time.
"certainly."
Pan Ming explained: "At ten o'clock in the morning, the bell of Westminster Abbey rang ten times. I just corrected it. There was no way there could be an error."
In fact, the two of them had already guessed that Lu Li had not received compensation in terms of ability, so it could only be a prop, but the principal did not give any explanation for this.
"Let me try."
Naturally, Lu Li would not doubt Pan Ming's words. In fact, he had never wound his pocket watch since he came to this world. It was completely expected that there would be errors.
Click...click.
Under the watchful eyes of the two men, Lu Li raised the top of his pocket watch and began to make adjustments based on the time provided by Pan Ming.
Then, Lu Li pressed it down again and continued to twist it. This was to wind the clockwork of the pocket watch.
Da da da……
The second hand starts to move.
Two pocket watches, the time is completely synchronized.
During this period, nothing magical happened.
This made the three of them feel particularly disappointed. It was just a pocket watch with a simple structure: dial, cover, hands, gears, bracelet...
Frankly speaking, not only Pan Ming, who made the suggestion, but also Lu Li felt that "winding" was the way to open this special prop.
"It shouldn't be. Is it possible to take the pocket watch apart?" Duke shook his head, "If it's really a prop, if the internal gear breaks, there's no place to repair it."
Snap, the silver watch cover opens.
Click, the cover closes.
When the little boy Mi Gao came up with beef stew in red wine, what he saw was Lu Li opening and closing the lid of his pocket watch.
Next to it, surrounded by Duke and Pan Ming, they stared at the pocket watch intently.
A valuable watch.
Mi Gao made a silent judgment and didn't think this thing was very special. After all, the meal they had in the Financial City earlier last night was enough to buy three or four silver pocket watches.
"Sir, this dish is ready, why don't you eat it first? There are still dishes in the kitchen that are not ready, I have to go and watch."
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry."
Lu Li stopped what he was doing and looked up at the dining table. The red wine, seasonings, and fresh beef he just bought from the market in the morning might not look as good as those in a big restaurant, but the taste was definitely the same.
After Xiao Mi Gao came downstairs, he gathered his thoughts and continued to look at the pocket watch in his hand.
"Isn't it wrong? The principal has no compensation at all...but the possibility is almost zero. The examination always follows the principle of fairness."
Duke denied his conjecture, thought about it for a long time, and then said, "Is it a mistake? Maybe it's something else?"
"impossible."
Lu Li shook his head and asked, "Besides clothes and initial capital, what else do you have on you?"
"A legal identity." Pan Ming replied.
"The wolf-headed sword and crutch are self-contained equipment that meets the requirements of the times."
As he spoke, Lu Li pulled out the sword crutch at his hand. White light flashed past. It was made of a mysterious metal that resembled platinum. The head was engraved with a great gray wolf. The patterns were very complex, but they did not occupy a large area.
As the owner, Lu Li knew this weapon that was a work of art very well and often took it out to caress. Therefore, he could conclude that the sword and crutch was the same as before, without any change——
Sharp and demon-breaking.
Two most basic but practical attributes.
"The wordless ox-hide book may contain occult knowledge and may contain some secrets about the world."
Lu Li did not shy away from what he got. He went to the room and took out the things. At the same time, he explained: "The reward for being the first to move into Baker Street. The original owner was a medical student at Miskatonic University. The previous owner died in an accident. .”
When Lu Li mentioned the word "accident", he specially added the accent to show that it was not that simple.
"Miskatonic?"
Pan Ming had obviously heard of this term, and his eyes lit up. As a note-taking expert and academic master, he had heard of this place, and said in a deep voice:
"It was founded in 1690 and is located in the town of Arkham, Massachusetts. It is an Ivy League school. There is no need to go into the latter one. In some worlds, it does not exist, but in this world, it obviously exists."
“This university is at the forefront of the world in archaeology, mysticism, history, pharmacy and other professional fields, and is rich in investigators.
Of course, most people go to their graves. If they are lucky, they will go to a mental hospital to spend the rest of their lives with part of the truth about the world.
If time were not limited, I would really like to go to the University of Michigan Library, which has a huge collection of treasures, a large number of black magic books, which record countless taboos, including the "Necronomicon"..."
After a long time, Pan Ming realized that he had successfully taken the topic astray, and then he became quiet, but before that, he still asked:
"Where was the previous owner?"
"Because I couldn't pay the rent, I was kicked out by my landlord. I'm currently living in the East District."
"This guy is really weird." Pan Ming was a little speechless. He really didn't expect that a graduate of the University of Michigan would fall to this point.
Lu Li agreed with this and entered mystical learning, but repeatedly rejected the instructor's warm invitations, firmly believing that science was the only truth.
Of course, Dr. Joseph's experience cannot be described as lucky or unlucky. At least he graduated alive. Although he was relegated to the East District, he still lived a good life compared to most people.
"Getting back to the subject, how do you use this thing? I don't believe the principal would give you something useless."
Neither Pan Ming nor Duke had a pocket watch, let alone anything else, so it was almost certain that it was compensation. To be more precise, it was compensation for not giving instructions for use.
Thinking of this, Lu Li decided to continue playing with the screw crown, probably because he couldn't find the correct way to open it, so he would try again now.
