Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

When Xi Sui'an stood on the street of the City of No Return again, he looked up and gazed deeply at the sign of Alchemical Gear and fell into deep thought.

She said solemnly: "System, do you think I accidentally became a part of their play?" She was now really scratching her head out of curiosity about their relationship.

"I think it might be possible." The system voice said uncertainly.

Walking into the Alchemical Gear, she saw the boss, who was still gentle and beautiful, sitting on a recliner and flipping through a book leisurely. The other party saw her and was quite impressed by her: "Little girl, you are here again? What do you want to buy this time?"

"Boss, this time I would like to ask you to help me refine an item." She walked over, looked at Zhu Jun and said respectfully.

The woman on the recliner suddenly closed the book in her hand. Her charming eyes suddenly revealed a sharp look. She frowned tightly and said, "I am no longer an alchemist. There are many alchemists in Bugui City. You should go somewhere else!"

"Teacher Yi Luowen introduced me here." Xi Sui'an said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jun stood up and slammed the book on the table, sneering: "Yi Luowen... he is really good, he really wants to stab me in the heart, right? Fortunately, I am still concerned about his recent situation. Let a student come, if you have the ability, come by yourself!"

Xi Sui'an wisely shut up.

Zhu Jun took two steps back and forth with a complicated expression on his face: "You really won't let me die in peace. I'm no longer an alchemist, why do you have to..."

She sighed in confusion and looked at Xi Sui'an: "Are you his student?"

"Yes." Xi Sui'an bowed calmly, "I didn't know that you and Teacher Yi Luowen had such a close personal relationship before. I hope you will forgive me if I behaved inappropriately."

"Come on, don't play tricks on me." Zhu Jun waved her hand, "If you want to know what the relationship between Ilowen and I is, just tell me directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

She sighed: "It's not as complicated as you think. He and I... are just two survivors." As she spoke the last part, her voice suddenly became solemn.

Survivors? ? Xi Sui'an blinked, looking quite surprised.

"Okay, it's not appropriate to tell the little one about the old calendar from decades ago." Zhu Jun stretched out his hand helplessly, "Forget it, give me the drawings and materials. I'm afraid I'll die with regrets. Tsk, I didn't expect him to have such a delicate mind. It's true that men change a lot when they grow up."

Xi Sui'an paused as she handed the item over. She pondered over Zhu Yun's words, realized something, and raised her head in surprise: "Senior, you...?!"

Zhu Jun curled the corners of her lips: "Yes, everyone has a death, it's no big deal." She should have died long ago, and the regrets and guilt would eventually turn into a handful of yellow earth, leaving only the old friend facing the empty grave.

"So you see, it's a good thing that we humans don't have such a long lifespan," she said to Xi Sui'an in a relaxed manner, "the immortal species are the ones who have a really sad life." As the years go by, we keep saying goodbye to our old friends. The dead can let go of many things, but the living will always carry guilt and sadness.

Xi Sui'an was silent. It seemed that Zhujun and Yiluowen must have a very heavy past that they could not let go of until the moment of death.

"Huh? Interesting array design. No wonder Iloven asked you to come to me." Zhu Jun opened the blueprint, her eyes slightly brightened, then suddenly dimmed. She wanted to say something but suddenly clenched her fingers: "Forget it, I'll do this for you."

Xi Sui'an let out a long sigh and calmed down.

"Come and get it in two weeks. It'll just happen to be in time for Guoyue's secret realm celebration." A trace of reminiscence flashed in Zhujun's eyes.

"Secret Land Celebration?" Xi Sui'an was stunned. "What is that?"

Zhu Jun's eyes curved, "It's a celebration for the new students. The college will open a small secret place. It's quite interesting. There are delicious food and fun things inside."

...A secret activity with delicious food and fun? ? Xi Sui'an touched her chin. Why was she so unconvinced?

"Okay, go back, go back."

Xi Sui'an was waved out of the Alchemical Gear by Zhu Jun. She deeply suspected that the difference in treatment she received from the boss lady must be because of Yi Luowen, huh.

Fruit Moon Secret Realm Celebration?

On the way, she flipped through the academy notice, and there was indeed this announcement: The Soul-Ying Secret Realm was open in the Fruit Month, and the old and new students could team up to take fruits from the secret realm, 70% of which would belong to them and 30% would go to the academy.

It seems to be pretty good.

She went to the forum and read the posts about the secret realm.

1. Question: The Strongest Knight: Isn't it said that the Lover's Fruit Tree has a gentle temper and its fruits are the easiest to pick? But why does it always hit me?

Answer: Forest Witch: The Lover's Tree doesn't like single people. It takes two people to pick the fruit, but more than two people are fine.

Answer: Astrologers: To add, it does not matter what gender or race you are.

2. Question: Bard: The fruits of the coral beauty grass are very beautiful, and the plant is very well-behaved. Is there anyone who likes it? Let’s go pick them together?

Answer: Night Assassin: Go away, do you think it’s still called Femme Fatale if I don’t know it?

Answer: Breaking Bad: A friendly reminder: Don’t eat anything if you are not resistant to poison.

……

"...??"

Xi Sui'an flipped through the questions and answers, his face full of black lines. What the hell is going on? From a human perspective, I always feel that the secret realm is not very safe!

She thought of the homework assigned by Iloven. Well, two weeks was just the right amount of time. It seemed like it was intentional.

After returning to the dormitory, Xi Sui'an plunged into the vast ocean of knowledge. He was so absorbed in the experience that he even forgot the tides.

Chao Xi, who was sober for a rare time, looked at Xi Sui'an's miserable appearance, gave her a sympathetic look, then looked outside and ran out of the dormitory quietly. If Xi Sui'an took care of it, it would starve to death sooner or later, so it was better to be self-reliant and find food for itself.

Xi Sui'an didn't notice it at all, her mind was completely immersed in the hexagonal crystal.

The tiny tentacles of spiritual power penetrated into the outer layer of crystal, and the most subtle existence appeared incomparably clearly in her perception, and the indistinguishable colors blended together. These colors were not solid as seen by the naked eye. She seemed to see the sea of ​​fog surging in it, and nebulae were born and died in it, which was so beautiful that it was dizzying.

"Host...Host?" The system woke up Xi Sui'an with some concern.

Xi Sui'an withdrew her mental power and felt a slight pain in her brain. It seemed that her newly condensed mental power could not support her long-term detection. No wonder Iloven gave her two weeks. This was indeed not something that could be done overnight.

She flipped open the book she had borrowed from the library, looked at the three-dimensional imaginary ore models on the pages, and carefully chewed on the knowledge of the composition of alchemical materials. Time was limited, and she really needed to hurry up and chew up the hexagonal crystal.

The lantern by the window lit up. Chao Xi, who had just finished looking for food, came back and saw Xi Sui'an still working hard. He ate the last crab leg with a crunching sound and wiped the corner of his mouth with his webbed wrists, feeling quite worried: Will he have to raise her in the future? That would be too difficult for him, oh.
