"...Is it this again? This time it's the essence fragment of the poison module (enchanted ivy) and the essence fragment of the regeneration module (enchanted baobab tree)."
When Lu Ping An has time to pay attention to system prompts, it is often an afterthought.
After another battle, the beasts on the ground began to turn into ashes, and Lu Pingping had time to review his harvest.
This is not the first time I have seen the essence fragments of the XX module.
When using the Phoenix Immortal Thunder before, Lu Ping'an discovered that there were "Essence Fragments of the Explosive Module (Demonized Phoenix Immortal)" in his glove compartment.
But it cannot be used. The 26 numbers are piled in the system warehouse and cannot be taken out.
[The investment target, the Demonized Impatiens, has died, and the investment has completely failed. 】
[Enter liquidation mode, liquidating the remaining property... There is no sufficient property, now extracting the essence of his life to deduct the debt. 】
[Refined successfully, obtained an essence fragment of an unrated explosion module. 】
That's all, no further details.
In Lu Ping'an's understanding, if my bank invests in you and you go bankrupt or even die, I can make some profit from your inheritance.
What is recycled becomes the bank’s assets.
"Very capitalist, very street lamp, but the question is how to use these essences?"
And the word "essence of life" reminded Lu Ping'an of the gardener.
Plant the seeds and cultivate them carefully, wait for the fruit trees to grow and harvest the fruits.
The three essence fragments add up to almost fifty, but Lu Ping'an still can't find a way to use them, and he can't even take them out physically.
He asked Chris about it, and she said she hadn't heard of it, didn't know, and wasn't interested.
Maybe she had some guesses, but after quitting the drama, she began to lack subjective initiative again.
"At least, this means that the life force I use will still be rewarded a little bit. It's not a loss, not a loss at all. If you put it there, you will always find a use in the future."
Now that he can't find a way to use it, Lu Ping'an can only comfort himself like this.
Looking at the useless items in the warehouse and claiming to be worth it, he looks like a mobile game player who failed to draw cards.
".....Should we take a break, or should we go deeper?"
Xue En, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, came over and handed over the remaining trophies of the monsters.
According to the mercenary rules, he only has the authority to share the profits afterwards, but cannot directly obtain the spoils.
Lu Ping'an packed up these first-level, zero-price trophies and looked at the sky. It was almost time to adjust.
"Let's go, let's go to the main road and wait. I hope we can meet them today."
This is already the morning of the third day here, and less than half of the precious one-week sprint before the exam has been used up.
Lu Pingping did not return all the way, and with the cooperation of Xue En, he carried out hunting training efficiently... The poor cat was let go, but after one failure, he probably won't come back again.
There is no way around this. Communication across secret realms and worlds is always an unsolvable problem.
Even if she comes in to find someone by herself, it will take too much time to find someone, and there is a high chance that she will come up short.
But again, everything can be stopped, but investment and profit sharing cannot be stopped. This is the foundation for Lu Ping An's rapid growth.
"Does the BUFF cost one thousand and fifty this time? Okay, we accept it. Do you still have it tomorrow?"
"Not sure. It depends."
This is the main road in the forest area. Lu Ping'an and the two first-level gardeners completed the transaction, and both parties were very satisfied.
Yesterday at the same place, BUFF was given out for free.
After all, in the limited time in this vast forest, it is not easy to find two gardeners willing to accept the BUFF of strangers.
They were a man and a woman, and they were all first-level students who came to practice. The two classmates formed a team together, and they also brought two combat-oriented companions or mercenaries.
Looking at the fellow gardener who was vaguely leaving under the protection of his companions, Lu Ping'an felt that Xue En's statement might still be humane. The low-level gardener was not a problem with lack of combat effectiveness, but simply a burden on the battlefield.
Among the memory fragments divided into yesterday, Lu Pingan saw several scenes where the two gardener "boss" were in danger and their companions fought desperately to save them.
"...Those guards seem to be working hard enough."
"This is a normal gardener. In fact, those companions are not at a disadvantage. They use combat experience while eating a share of the gardener's income. It is equivalent to a training opportunity with full logistics and free treatment."
Low-level gardeners have no fighting ability. Their goal for training is actually to find, cultivate, and harvest various magic plants.
During the harvesting process, spending money to hire combat forces to protect yourself is the normal development style of the logistics gardener profession.
Lu Ping'an shared a lot of experience in cultivating and harvesting magic plants from them. He even improved his skills in using the gardener's three-piece set, and became more comfortable in controlling magic plants.
"Oh, it turns out that we are the ones who are abnormal..."
Chatting and laughing, the two prepared to return to the depths of the forest and continue today's training.
But suddenly, Lu Ping'an frowned, and he saw something annoying.
The gardener group in front was stopped by someone, and a group of people blocked them. Some were asking about something, and some were saying something with the wanted poster for the "Explosion Demon".
"...Those bastards."
Xue En took a sip, showing disdain.
"Are they looking for the Bomb Demon again?"
The road is safe, thoughtful and pointed.
Hearing what Lu Pingan said, Xue En smiled.
Lu Ping'an's ability was there. He who always thought too much had already thought of it, but he chose to pretend to be stupid.
"...Looking for the Bomb Demon? Using a random sketch? Just looking for a reason to make some extra money, you see."
Things developed just as Xue En expected. In the end, the two gardeners looked sad and took out the bags of loot and magic plants to show them. In the end, a bunch of them were picked away.
And this is not over yet. When they return, the tolls at the entrance and exit will not be less.
The dragon and snake gang seemed to be too few, so they cursed and kicked the male gardener, and the two sides almost had a conflict.
But there were seven or eight people on one side and only four on the other. Two of them were still a drag, and in the end there was no fight... The gardener's small bag was missing another batch of things.
And when they set their sights on the next target, Lu Ping'an and Xue En...
"What are you looking at, you bastard?"
Xue En just spat on the ground, which was not enough for him at all.
But these people from the Dragon Snake Gang didn't seem to notice, and walked past on their own, ignoring Lu Ping'an and the other two.
"this....."
"They're just a bunch of bullies who are afraid of the tough. If the people behind them weren't in trouble, they would have...haha."
The person behind? There is actually a backstage for this kind of thing. Isn't it just a few immature young men getting together to pretend to be a dynamic social organization?
Lu Ping'an asked, and Xue En didn't hide it. This is a "secret" that all the elders here know.
"Isn't there the Luxin Pharmaceutical shop at the door? They have a middle manager or a professor or something, and they need a lot of low-level magic plant materials for experiments. It's best to pick them fresh, and don't want to spend money, so... ...You know."
Green New Pharmaceuticals? Isn't that the stall owned by Senior Sister Zhao Ying? Is it their professor, mentor or team leader?
"...As for that? Just for this? No one cares?"
"Who cares? From the perspective of the people in Luxin Pharmaceuticals, the entire secret realm is the property of their company. Just acquiescing to it can help them declare their ownership and authority and do some dirty work along the way. Anyway, they can only offend them. Newcomers, as long as they don't really cause any loss of life, even if some people can't stand it, it doesn't matter."
Seeing that Lu Ping'an still couldn't understand, Xue En continued.
"For example, if an enemy of Luxin enters this secret realm, high-level professionals who call themselves the 'Dragon and Snake Gang' will come in and kill people. Senior brother just said nonsense, the world in this world has never been a peaceful modern society, and many people will kill people at will if they find it troublesome. , when hiring mercenaries, you must understand their character and sign a contract in advance. You are lucky to have met me..."
Senior Brother Xue En took the opportunity to make up some extra lessons for his junior brother. Knowing that this was his kindness, Lu Pingan silently nodded to acknowledge receipt.
The road back to the forest was uneventful, and in the evening of this day, the goal of the trip was finally harvested.
