The Dean Has Arrived

In the reception room of Luo Lan's Auction House, Xi Wei was sipping coffee boredly.

To be honest, he is still not used to drinking coffee in this world. Although the refreshing effect is much better than that of the earth, the bitterness is also stronger. Moreover, there is no custom of adding milk sugar to coffee in this world. On the tray, except for the coffee cup There are only a few slices of lemon-like fruit outside, even if you want to relieve the bitterness in your mouth, you can't do it. It's really because of this that Xi Wei still prefers the instant coffee on Earth to this freshly brewed pure black coffee...

After drinking half a cup with a bitter face, the real master he came to look for this time finally appeared.

Elena came in from the outside in a panic. It could be seen that the girl's professional attire similar to a bunny girl's outfit was changed in a hurry. A piece of snow-white **.

"Mr. Edric is so sorry!" The girl first apologized to Xi Wei: "Because there have been many other things recently..."

"Is it related to the huge sign outside?" Xi Wei asked curiously.

Before entering the auction house, he saw a huge wooden sign erected outside the door, like a billboard, with something very abstract drawn on it, and it also said something like the People's League Skyball Game.

"Well, that's it." Elena nodded, with a proud expression on her face: "The full name of that is 'Pan-Human United Alliance Pure White Vatican Cup Skyball Competition', although there is a Pan-Human United Alliance in front, but the actual The above is just a traditional event of Huolian, but there are indeed some foreign teams who will come to participate recently. This competition is held every three years. This year happens to be held in the province of Quelin, but the lord here has just invested in the establishment of a communication channel. The new business road to Simolo, can't afford the money to hold the sky game..."

"So have you delegated the right to hold the competition to your chamber of commerce?" Xi Wei asked.

"How is that possible? Although it's not very good to say this, but our Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce doesn't talk about Huoli's safe country, and we can't even squeeze into the top three in Quelin province alone." Elena sighed, probably I feel like this kind of thing can't be hidden even if it is hidden. So he told Xi Wei generously, and at the same time observed Xi Wei's expression: "We are just one of the investment chambers found by the lord, and we don't have much decision-making power in many aspects."

obviously. If Xi Wei showed any strange looks, she would reconsider cooperating with Xi Wei.

But it turns out she was overthinking.

"That's right." Xi Wei nodded with a clear face, and then brought up the topic. After all, it's not uncommon for this kind of thing to be called sponsorship on Earth. Xi Wei didn't care either.

Although many people will try their best to maximize their profits, Xi Wei is obviously not among them.

If he didn't go to the academy, Mace's treasure alone would be enough for him to live a nourishing life for the rest of his life. Even if he was going to build the academy, Xi Wei didn't plan to build the foundation of the academy on external forces. For him, it would be best for the academy to be self-sufficient with all its resources. The funds earned from selling equipment like this are only used as the start-up funds of the academy to solve the urgent needs.

"Speaking of which, what about the iron material that was agreed the day before yesterday?" Xi Wei put the coffee cup in his hand back on the plate, and started to get back to the topic: "Could it be that you put my affairs on the table just to prepare for the result of the ball game?" Has the corner gone?"

There was no reason why Xi Wei was in such a hurry. The underground of the empty island has now been hollowed out by half, and the load-bearing structure has been made of steel to prevent it from collapsing. In fact, because of the size of the sky island is very huge. Just the part that is now hollowed out can already accommodate the magic pool, star vein furnace and magic engine. But of course Xi Wei will not build the most important buildings on the entire island together, just like not putting all eggs in the same basket, the necessary precautions are indispensable, not to mention having experienced two monster attacks Cheng also showed that Xi Wei's current worries were not groundless.

It was because of this that he was in a hurry to get the remaining iron materials, because only after those materials were in place, the excavation of the underground of the empty island could start again...

"How could it be? You are overthinking." After noticing anything unusual about Xi Wei, Alina breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile, "It's just that building a stadium requires a lot of steel, and the person in charge of collecting steel It's not our chamber of commerce either, the purchase price of steel has doubled several times compared to before. If you are not in such a hurry to use it, can you wait for a while?"

I wouldn't be here if I could have waited a while.

Xi Wei sighed. He wanted to complete the prototype of the academy before his students came back. After all, after Alisa and the others came back, it should be difficult to accept the weird construction scene.

Thinking of this, Xi Wei asked with a glimmer of hope: "Is there really no other way? Hasn't your Chamber of Commerce hoarded a little steel?"

"Before the lord sent the ball game preparations down, he did collect some inventory, but he didn't receive much in a day. If you want it, I will tell them to ship it to the place where they received the goods last time."

Xi Wei looked at the girl for a while, and felt that she was not lying, so he could only touch his forehead and sigh: "Oh, let's do it this way."

Xi Wei always felt that various situations would always happen when he built the academy. If it wasn't for the fact that there were no new tasks in the system this time, he might have thought it was another cheating system playing tricks.

"Speaking of it," at this time, Elena suddenly hammered her palm as if remembering something: "The Morbit Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of purchasing steel, seems to be buying a lot of middle and high-level shining crystals and magic cores recently. And their purchase price is not low, if you have mid-level or high-level shining crystals or magic cores, we can try to negotiate with the other party to see if we can exchange a large amount of steel."

"Middle-level and high-level shining crystals and magic cores..." Xi Wei touched his chin and began to weigh in his heart whether the exchange was worth it.

Demon core sparkling crystals with energy levels from 10 to 19 are called middle-level, and those with energy levels from 20 to 29 are called high-level.

But for the average person. All magic cores or sparkling crystals with an energy level above 10 can be called advanced magic core sparkling crystals.

High-level magic cores have many uses, and because they are relatively rare, they also have to beat Yaojing in terms of price. Just like in the previous auction, Xi Wei's magic core with an energy level of 12 sold for a high price of 80 gold coins. If it was replaced with a shining crystal of the same energy level, it would probably only sell to about forty pieces.

It is true that Xi Wei, who has a dungeon as his hole card, does not lack places to farm magic cores. Even those element crystal fragments can be used to pretend to be specialized magic cores, which should be able to fool most appraisers. However, if he only cooperates with the Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce, the risk of his exposure is not great. But if you try to get in touch with those powerful chambers of commerce behind the scenes, there is a high possibility that you, the one behind the scenes, will be dug out. Obviously, this option is not happy.

However, it is impossible for him to wait leisurely until the game is over. After all, the dark night nobles kept making small moves. No matter how you look at it, it's not too far before they start. If there is no way to finish building the academy in a short time, Xi Wei will become very passive in many subsequent plans.

After thinking about it like this, he hesitated for a long time before making a difficult decision.

He took out a handful of sparkling crystals and magic cores from Mace's treasure, whose magic power had declined a lot, but could barely be called high-level, and pushed them in front of the girl.

"Take these, and exchange as much steel as you can, the more the better!" Xi Wei said to Alina with a serious face.

Since there is a possibility of being dug out again. Na Xiwei simply decided to give up a certain degree of cover, and collect resources to build the academy in the shortest possible time. As long as he has the star pulse furnace and the magic engine, even if something happens, he can still drive the academy to escape...

Elena looked at the high-level magic core sparkling crystals piled up like cheap glass blocks in front of her, she was dumbfounded. Even the image of a lady in the past collapsed for a moment.

She is not an ignorant rookie. In fact, she has seen a lot of things. She even saw a magic core with an energy level of 31 and was dubbed a super-level in an auction!

It's just that even with her knowledge, seeing a person who put a lot of high-level magic core flare crystals in his pocket like glass balls (actually they were put in a storage box, but it was done for the sake of other people's feelings) Make a pocket action) and couldn't help being stunned.

Then it was like waking up from a dream. In a hurry, they called special personnel to collect and measure these magic cores and shining crystals.

After accepting Alina's guarantee, Xi Wei left Luo Lan's auction house.

Although there is still a long time before the People's Federation Skyball Game, it can be seen that the already lively street has begun to become more lively.

There are small vendors everywhere selling armor similar to that used for fencing. There is a large coat of arms on the back and front of the armor, and there are bright red or black and white numbers on the coat of arms. Xi Wei guessed that this should be the jersey of the Tianqiu game.

In addition to this, there are also some small vendors selling balls that look a bit like tennis balls, but with many magic circles depicted on them, and there are also ball catching rackets that are similar to tennis rackets but without the net in the middle...

Although the celestial game seems to be really popular in the eastern plains, there are quite a few people who love this sport, and most of them are princes and dukes, people with dignity and status, but Xi Wei's predecessor seems to have no interest in this sport What special interest, in his memory, he has never been to this kind of ball game experience.

But now it's clear that there's an air of waiting for the ball game to start pervading the city.

Gradually, Xi Wei was also infected by this atmosphere, and decided to watch a few games when the competition officially opened.

In addition to the products directly related to the ball game, some other products also began to appear in the market. At least Xi Wei saw the prototype of the monocular telescope there. The high effect of one person is equivalent to that of a fluorescent stick, and it will start to glow with a wave. The huge four-leaf clover, as well as the whistle that makes a curse sound as long as you blow it hard, and the content of the curse words seems to change according to the strength of the whistle. It is a very interesting magic prop... It’s a pity that the booth of this prop Later, it was confiscated and sold by people similar to urban management in the city...

Anyway, it's still early, and it will take a long time for Elena to inform the drivers to transport the steel in stock to the floating island. Xi Wei decided to go shopping in the market for a while, and relax after working hard for the past few days. up.

Just as Xi Wei was slowly moving forward. When his eyes were attracted by the powerful knives performed by a few Kate tribes on the side of the road when they were cutting fish, they felt as if they had bumped into something.

"I'm sorry..." Xi Wei just turned around to apologize, but found that the person who was hit by him and fell to the ground, clutching the back of his head and screaming in pain was actually the vampire girl who brought Cage to the floating island two days ago!

While suppressing his urge to run away while muttering 'Fuck' in his heart, Xi Wei apologized to the girl with a smile on his face: "I was distracted just now, I'm really sorry."

You must know that when the vampire girl met him on the floating island, he was wearing an artist mask to cover his face. Although it doesn't rule out that the girl has already known that the floating island is tricky through the unlucky ghost who died at her own hands. But judging from the fact that the situation is still calm after so many days, and the academy system has not issued new tasks, the other party should not know about it.

Thus. Now that he is showing his true face to others, he has no need to be afraid at all.

The vampire girl was holding a small parasol, and the clothes on her body felt a little dirty. She stared blankly at Xi Wei. The look in the crimson eyes, like a wolf who suddenly found its prey after being hungry for three days, made Xi Wei's heart shudder, and he even wondered if his guess was wrong.

But before Xi Wei could take any precautionary measures, the girl suddenly lay down on the ground, and then began to speak word by word with a super fake stick reading: "Ahh! I was injured! You must be responsible!"

"What?" This time it was Xi Wei's turn to be dazed.

"Woo, mom, dad, brother, sister, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, aunt, and sister-in-law... Shalan can't even go home to see you! Shalan is going to die in a foreign land!" The girl covered her face and continued to whimper. Crying, she secretly watched Xi Wei's expression through her fingers from time to time.

"You have too many relatives, hey!" Xi Wei, who was still facing an enemy, suddenly became powerless, and he complained angrily and amusingly.

"Anyway, anyway, I was injured by you, you must be responsible!" The girl stopped her fake crying, her face was flushed red because of shame or other reasons, but she still insisted on saying.

"..." I don't know why Xi Wei suddenly felt sorry for the idiot in front of him. Obviously a vampire. The combat power can also beat most of the law enforcement teams or city guards in this city, but not only did the robbery fail, but he was tricked back by himself, and he was reduced to the point where he had to touch porcelain...

What's even more tragic is that he didn't know anything when he encountered his mortal enemy.

Why don't you just take this opportunity to arrest her and force her to ask about the secrets of the night nobles?

This idea appeared in Xi Wei's mind for a moment, and then disappeared in an instant.

After all, he wanted to come. A guy who can be so stupid as this should not know anything important, not to mention cheating such a stupid girl, Xi Wei also feels an inexplicable sense of guilt...

"Forget it, then tell me how I should be responsible?" Xi Wei asked the girl with a sigh.

It's not that I intend to help the girl with good intentions. After all, they are sworn enemies, but it seems interesting to tease this stupid girl without telling each other...

Seeing Xi Wei seemed to give in. The proud girl immediately puffed up her flat chest, and said arrogantly, "Take me to dinner and send me home!"

"Aren't you injured?" Xi Wei said with a smile.

'Ah, bad!' flashed across the girl's face. ’ expression, and then immediately languished, lying on the ground limply, but still within the range of the shadow of the parasol, with an expression of unbearable pain, said in a weak tone: “Please, please I eat and then take me home..."

"Well, since your body is so weak, you can't eat food with irritating spices, greasy meat, etc." Seeing that the other party was still pretending, Xi Wei simply didn't bother to wear it, and accompanied him Watching her continue playing: "So I invite you to eat garlic porridge, it nourishes the stomach."

"Ugh..." The girl's expression changed suddenly, but she immediately remembered that she was still 'injured', so she suppressed the urge to shout, and said weakly: "It's okay, my stomach is fine...even if Meat is ok... like that hot dog over there is pretty good..."

Xi Wei looked at the hot dog she was talking about, and found that it was just a small stall with five coppers per hot dog written on it.

What a surprisingly easy-to-raise vampire...

However, he didn't intend to let this girl go so easily. After all, he had suffered a lot from the dark night nobleman, so it doesn't matter to tease her a little bit to get back some interest.

"Oh, that hot dog looks really good." He made a surprised expression.

"Right, right! I'll just say it! That hot dog..." The girl immediately answered happily when she heard Xi Wei agreeing with her words, but she saw Xi Wei squinting at her in the middle of speaking, and could only Pretending to be weak again, he said slowly, "Yes...as long as that's fine..."

"Speaking of which, I saw garlic sauce there just now, and it looks like it would be delicious to dip in a hot dog." Xi Wei said softly with a flawless and kind smile on his face, "I'll go buy you one."

"Ehhh?! Wait..."

Before the girl could stop him, Xi Wei had already drifted away, and then came back with a hot dog filled with garlic sauce, and watched the girl tearfully swallow the hot dog filled with garlic sauce with a gentle smile ... (To be continued..)
