Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 102 Baba, it stinks! !

Wei En went out with a black umbrella, followed by Miss Zombie. It was still early before work, so he first went to the high-end store he visited yesterday to buy some ingredients.

"Welcome, sir, female... um, madam."

The waiter in a black and white coat respectfully opened the door, his eyes resting on Sharapova's face intentionally or unintentionally.

It's a pity that such a slender and well-behaved lady is blind... and she also bears obvious signs of being abused.

Wei En didn't pay attention to his expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have given him a lightning bolt to clear his mind.

He is preparing breakfast with great interest.

A few unknown eggs.

potato?Get a bag.

This is a piece of deep-sea snowfish meat. It only costs 10 shillings for such a big size. Get a piece and try it...

There is also barley bread, which is not as hard as a rock like brown bread, but is similar to toast, which is called Haisi in the store.

Plus some condiments and cooking oil, the total cost of 1 gold pound and 12 shillings.

Wei En readily paid and let Miss Zombie carry his things, while he continued to hold an umbrella and returned to Golden Street.

"It looks like it's going to rain all the time today."

"It's raining, I don't like it."

Sharapova carried a large bag and a small bag in both hands, and carefully huddled her body under the umbrella to prevent the newly purchased skirt from being wet by the rain.

Those pale eyes kept watching his feet, avoiding tripping over the uneven stone road.

"Will it rain in the undead world?"

"Yes, red."

Wei En was stunned for a moment, "Blood water?"

"Well, every time it rains, there's a lot of... standing underneath, I don't like it."

"why?"

"I will advance."

Advance?

Wei En tentatively asked: "...Is it the kind of promotion I understand?"

"Well," Sharapova lowered her head, "After advancing, they will leave the hills and go to those bigger hills to kill, devour, or be killed."

The hill, the bigger hill...

For a moment, Wei En gave up his intention of asking about the landforms of the World of the Dead, "Then you will do the same thing, devour?"

"Well, I kill and devour, not be killed."

"Then you are pretty good."

"I am the strongest in the mountains."

Why does it sound a little arrogant?

"Amazing," Wei En inexplicably thought of those mountain kings who ruled the mountains as kings. He didn't expect Miss Zombie's strength to dominate one side.

"Then why don't you advance to a bigger mountain, a small mountain?"

Sharapova shook her head, "I don't want to die."

"..."

It's quite refreshing to hear these words coming from the mouth of a zombie.

However, Wei En has already figured out what she thinks, she just wants to be the strongest in the hill.

And if she advances to other mountains, she needs to start climbing from the bottom of the mountain, which is too dangerous.

"Then do you still remember when you were alive... I mean, the memory before you went to the world of the dead?"

"do not remember."

Hearing this question, Miss Zombie looked directly at him, as if wondering how he could even ask such a question.

Wei En said embarrassingly, "Don't mind, I'm just curious."

"Ah."

But for the next time, no matter what questions he asked, Sharapova stopped talking.

All the way back to the residence in silence, Miss Zombie left her things and went back to her room, and locked the door...

Wei En scratched his head, it seems that Miss Zombie still cares about the memories of his life?
But soon, he put it behind him and focused on preparing a hearty breakfast.

Fried fish fillets, fried eggs, fried... It should be fried potato chips.

Paired with some unique sauces, the taste is surprisingly good.

This made Wayne decide to bring some potato chips to the secret sauce when he went to work later.

"Or, bring some for Tina."

Thinking of this, Wei En also prepared a copy for Lacey and the others, let's share the good things together.

In the few days he had been at the secret blending department, he had gotten to know the tastes of several other people.

Lacey likes barbecue very much, especially the chewy meat tendons.

Marco loves sweets the most, and he especially likes to eat everything with cheese. In his words, it feels like a kiss.

And Tina usually has some strong and peculiar food, so I won't describe it much.

Of course, he didn't forget the newly recruited Carly, if it was lighter, she should like it.

Soon, Wei En prepared one for each of them and stored it in the space ring.

When the time came to ten o'clock, Wei En packed up his things, dressed neatly and went out. During this period, he said goodbye to Sharapova, but still did not receive any response...

"Help, how can I coax my little zombie to be angry?"

Wayne sighed. I am afraid that most wizards would give him the answer to this question - dismantle it.

"Good morning, Wayne."

"Good morning."

After Carly disappeared from the red moon, she has been busy until now.

But the helplessness of those injured patients made her face more sad.

"Let's go to the secret investigation department first, maybe Sister Lacey has a way to treat them."

Wei En knew the reason for her bad mood. To be honest, he didn't expect so many people to be blinded by the giant beast of the deep sea last night.

For four hours, as many as a hundred people came to Morris Clinic for help, and people came to the door from several nearby streets.

"Secret Investigation Department? Go, go, I want to ask Captain Lacey."

Carly's eyes lit up, her face brightened, and she took Wei En's hand and ran out of the golden street.

[You are targeted by Melbell Osiris’ murderous intent.Comment: Gee, holding hands is risky.Reward: Survival Points +3. 】

Wei En pouted secretly, is it because I don't want to let go?
It is obvious that your saintess is too strong, so I can only hold her soft palm tightly.

In fact, Carly's strength was a little weaker than that time in the Krems Cathedral.

It may also be that now that Wei En's toughness level has been raised to 112, the gap with her basic attributes has become smaller.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Secret Research Department together.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I saw Lacey and Tina both wearing casual clothes sitting at their respective desks, lying lazily.

Lacey was stunned when she saw them push the door open, "Wayne, Carly? Why are you two here?"

Wayne looked at her doubtfully, "No, are you at work?"

Lacey patted his forehead and said awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot to tell you. The rules of the Secret Adjustment Department are that you don't come to work when it rains."

Wayne: "..."

Such an important matter can actually be discussed earlier...

However, since they don't go to work, why do they come?

"Well...you guys came just in time, and there is a case to go. Originally, I planned to bring Tina with me, but let Carly go with me now."

Lacey then looked at Wei En and said, "In addition, yesterday's case has been handled by the war department. You can take Tina to finish it."

"okay."

Carly is more concerned about another matter, "Sister Lacey, many people lost their eyesight last night. It seems that they happened after seeing a huge monster. Do you know how to treat it?"

"There is no way," Lacey shook his head, "That is not a simple injury, but a very special curse."

"curse?"

"Well, this is what Yegor told me, and let us avoid that monster as soon as we see it in the future, otherwise the curse will directly make your eyes disappear."

"...Is there really no way to solve it?"

"No," Lacey hesitated, "but the conditions for healing are too harsh and almost impossible to complete."

"What conditions?"

"You need the blood of that monster. Just apply its blood on your eyes to lift the curse and return to normal."

Speaking of this, Lacey paused, "According to Yegor, that monster is very terrifying, its strength is comparable to a third-level disaster, and it is enough to destroy the entire city-state of Custer."

"So, even if you know the method, you can't cure those people."

"That's it..." Carly was a little disappointed.

"Okay, while you are all here, try it." Wei En took out the few packets of potato chips from the ring, and distributed a packet to the three of them.

"Oh? What is this?" Lacey picked up a piece and threw it directly into his mouth.

Click click.

"It tastes great!" "As long as you like it..."

Carly also tasted it, and the slightly sweet sauce made her feel much better.

Only Tina didn't react too much, but replaced the biscuits with potato chips, and stuffed them into the mouth of the clown doll one by one.

Is this okay? ?

When Wei En saw this message, he wanted to cry but thought: Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot?

……

……

As the rain became heavier, Wayne and Tina had no choice but to take a carriage to Basil Street.

The sound of rain hitting the roof of the carriage also made Wei En lose the idea of ​​talking to the coachman, so he sat in the carriage and flipped through Wizard Jerry's handbook.

Before going out in the morning, he had completed a design drawing of the mechanical puppet.

Before the production started, he wanted to find some insights from Wizard Jerry on the mechanical puppet design drawings from the handbook.

But after looking through it for a long time, he couldn't find any useful information.

The whole article is "how can this be done here? I'm such a genius", or "I'm so genius that I can think of such a design" and the like.

As for what kind of design it was, the genius Jerry didn't mention a word, and just threw out a complete blueprint of the mechanical puppet at the end...

Looking at the content of such letters, not to mention whether he can learn something, but for the narcissism alone, he must first have strong self-control.

Otherwise, I am really worried that I will be stimulated and tear the entire notebook into pieces!
"Sir, your destination has arrived."

Wei En got out of the car first and opened the umbrella before letting Tina get down with the clown doll.

He didn't dare to let the white-haired girl drag the clown down anymore. With the taboo's bad character, it's hard to say that he wouldn't give him some more progress.

"Look, two young ominous men."

"Only in the city-state can they be seen, humming at sea."

"Sorry, Mr. Octopus, you hurt our crew, we want to arrest you hahaha..."

"..."

Hearing the harsh sounds around him, Wayne frowned.He glanced around, and saw sailors with rough builds and tanned skin.

Why do you feel that there are many more people here than when you came with Marco last time?

[You are scanned by Severin Kamara's mental perception.Reward: Survival Point +1. 】

【…】

[You are scanned by Alejandro West's mental perception.Reward: Survival Point +1. 】

Wayne didn't say anything. He calmly took Tina's hand and walked towards a pub in the middle of Basil's neighborhood.

On both sides of the road, dozens of hundreds of sailors gathered in twos and threes, seeing the two leave as if they didn't hear what they said, they couldn't help laughing.

"It's boring, people in the city-state are so weak."

"Sevi, you can't expect them to be used to blood and fighting like us. They...well."

click.

The proud sailor felt a cold touch on his head. At the same time, he who had been active at sea all year round also felt the familiar danger of being targeted by sea monsters...

"What about the back?"

Wei En held Tina with one hand and held a musket against his head with the other hand. He asked coldly: "They...oh no, what happened to us?"

Whoa, whoa.

Before the sailor could speak, the sailors who saw the situation all took out their weapons, guns or swords, and stared at Wayne with cold eyes.

The leader pushed away the crowd and looked up and down. "This, um, Mr. Investigator of the Secret Investigation Department, please put down your weapon. He was just joking with you."

"Well... I apologize on his behalf, if you will."

[You are targeted by Collins Vazquez's killing intent.Rating: Survival point +3. 】

【…】

[You are targeted by Erno Vázquez’s murderous intent.Rating: Survival points +3. 】

Wei En turned his head to look at him, and slowly put away his musket, "There's no need to apologize, in fact, I was joking too."

No wonder from the very beginning, there were a few strange gazes that made him very concerned. It turned out that they... It seems that they should be more careful.

I thought that Collins and the others had left Custer City State after yesterday. Unexpectedly, not only did they not leave, they also hid here.

The sailor, who was obviously quite capable, saluted respectfully, "Thank you very much for your understanding."

"However, this is a city-state after all, not on the sea. It requires not only courage and blood, but also etiquette and noble qualities."

"You said, I will restrain them."

Wayne nodded. He had already got the answer he wanted. He turned around and continued walking towards the tavern with Tina.

Although it's only been a day, but now his strength improvement is not at 01:30, Collins and the others are really going to attack him... maybe there will be surprises.

"Do you want to do something? He is still alone." Erno looked at Wei En's back coldly and asked.

Collins shook his head, "No, now is a critical period, and it has affected the plans above, and neither you nor I can explain it."

"Then let him live a few more days, I can afford to wait..."

And those sailors also wanted to kill Wei En.

"Boss, why didn't you do anything just now? He was alone, and he was accompanied by a retard, I..."

Snapped!
Before he could finish speaking, the head sailor slapped him and shouted: "I told you, I have to keep a low profile when I go to Custer this time. Do you want to be... fed to fish?"

"No, it's not, me."

"Go back and stay here!"

"..."

For the reaction behind him, Wei En heard a little bit, it seems that these people came to Custer is not accidental.

Is it from the Black Pearl?
Or another group of people?

If it was the former, then he would look down on the Black Pearl a little bit, and powerful people are not so capable of calling it out.

If it's the latter, it's obviously not a good thing...

But what does it have to do with him?He is just an ordinary investigator of the Custer City State, and an even more ordinary intelligence officer of the Ghost School.

Thinking of this, Wei En soon took Tina to the tavern where the case happened—Snow.

The hot girls at the door saw the two of them, and they all embraced enthusiastically, "Sir, come in to play? The price is not expensive, it's a good life and very affordable."

"Yes, you and this...uh, miss, we can be together..."

Wei En lifted his jacket and lit his musket, "Let's deal with yesterday's case."

"Unlucky, it affects us to do..."

After those enthusiastic ladies saw the muskets, they walked away consciously, with disgust on their faces.

"Tina, you're so alive, what?"

Wei En looked at Tina with a cold face, and was at a loss for words for a while: "This is a good job, probably because the quality of the things in this tavern is better."

"Tina knows, clown, it's a good life."

Wayne: "..."

It's okay, I hope Mr. Clown will think he is praising him when he hears this...

"Mr. Investigator, you are finally here. Come with me quickly."

When the tavern owner saw the two coming in, he led them into the tavern, chattering endlessly.

"You people from the secret investigation department are really too much. Not only did you break the contents, but you also smashed the damn mutant. There are disgusting things everywhere..."

The polite smile on Wayne's face only lasted until he opened the stench-smelling room.

This dark and damp room was filled with a strong rotten smell, and there were crushed corpses, green slime and twisted tentacles everywhere.

The surrounding walls were covered with cracks and dark red bloodstains, like the traces of being torn by a huge force, obviously these were not left by these tentacles.

"I finally understand why Lacey keeps calling people in the war department crazy..."

The tavern owner just glanced at it, then retched, said "you are busy" and ran out.

[Discover the source of devouring, do you use the devouring spell? 】

Ok?
When Wei En saw this message, he didn't expect to be able to devour the origin?
That would be easy to pack up.

Thinking of this, he signaled Tina to wait outside the door, facing this horrible and bloody scene alone.

[You use the Devouring Soul Spell to devour the origin of the aberration, and your origin will be improved.Evaluation: I am curious, what is the taste?Special reward: Origin +0.01. 】

"Baba, it stinks!!"

Wei En didn't pay attention to the painful expressions of the little Axis. If you want to grow up, you must learn to be patient, sons.

but--

0.01 points of origin?so little? ?

I remember the last time when those undead creatures were devoured, the least one had 0.1 points of original power, and the most like Ognyan directly provided 1 point of original power.

"Either it's because the death time is too long and the original source dissipates, or because the original source of the mutant species is relatively small, and..."
