Witch Special
Chapter 232: What will Miss Lin eat for dinner tonight?
Finally, when Lin Zhenxi left the trading center, Mr. Humbert rode his mount all the way to the door and even kept waving the handkerchief in his hand at Lin Zhenxi's back, just like a young wife sending her husband off to join the army, so reluctant to let him go.
Lin Zhenxi ultimately sold only half of his cubic meter of gold, which came to just over nine tons. Based on the current market price in New Blue City, even after deducting the one-thousandth handling fee, Lin Zhenxi still received a substantial sum exceeding three billion.
Lin Zhenxi has never been so rich. There are probably not many people in the world who have more cash in their cards than she does.
But as the saying goes, when money reaches a certain level, it becomes just a string of numbers. Lin Zhenxi didn't feel like she'd suddenly become a billionaire. Aside from the fact that the numbers on her card had a lot more zeros, she felt no different from when she left home that morning.
Her body hadn't gotten any lighter, nor had it gotten any heavier. She still had to eat and sleep, just like before. For example, her schedule hadn't changed at all. Tomorrow, she'd bring Zhou Meili over, sign an asset management contract with the business department, and then she could leave for her hometown that afternoon.
After Lin Zhenxi came out of the trading center, she went straight to her office. After not seeing him for two months, she actually missed the place where she spent her time every day.
Even when Lin Zhenxi is away, her office is cleaned daily by a cleaning robot. Lin Zhenxi is curious: if a special correspondent doesn't return for a long time, how does the "company" determine whether they are lost or if there is still hope for return? If a special correspondent is deemed unable to return, will their office be reclaimed?
What if the person who has never been able to come back is her?
Shaking his head and driving these bad thoughts out of his mind, Lin Zhenxi pushed open the door and walked into his own office.
Since she was here, she had to stay at her post until the end of the day. This was both a company attendance rule and a form of self-discipline for Lin Zhenxi as a working person. Now that she had returned from her commissioned work, Lin Zhenxi had to start working every day again.
Although there is not much to do every day and I just need to punch in and stay in the office until the end of the day, there is still a big difference between coming and not coming.
Even when Lin Zhenxi went home a few days later, she had to apply for leave through the attendance system. This was different from going to the other world. In the main world, she still held herself to very high standards.
Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi had some vacation time left... well, it seems like for a special envoy, asking for leave is just a formality. Because when a special envoy goes to another world on a commissioned mission, they're counted as working 24 hours a day. One day off counts as one day of work, meaning two days of overtime. Overtime work can then be compensated with either a day off or overtime pay.
Lin Zhenxi's accumulated overtime hours can be calculated on a yearly basis, and she has just recorded four months of overtime. Even if she wants to take a leave to travel around the world, the "company" will still have to pay her salary as usual.
Lin Zhenxi wasn't completely slacking off at the office. In her previous alternate world, she gained a lot, and her strength had taken a significant step forward. However, the more she knew, the more she realized she was ignorant. In her previous world, Lin Zhenxi had already discovered that she still had many shortcomings and deficiencies. These shortcomings could very well become her weaknesses and potential breaches at some point in the future, putting her in a dangerous position.
Since that was the case, then of course we had to check for any deficiencies and fill them in. However, there were some problems that Lin Zhenxi could only try to solve on her own, while there were others that she could seek help from outside forces.
Her two teachers opened the doors to her in two different worlds.
She could actually get answers to a lot of questions from her teacher, such as the future direction of magic evolution, how to develop the magic of time and space, how to transform the mass-produced Asura Rhinoceros Beetle from a combination of a jar and a copy spell into a pure summoning spell, how to open the inherent barrier, and how to realize the embodiment of fantasy.
At least it was definitely better than her trying to figure it out on her own. Furthermore, Princess Bai had also said that she wanted Lin Zhenxi to find her teacher. Princess Bai definitely wasn't aimless, as it meant she could get some very useful help from her teacher.
However, Princess Bai didn't specify which teacher it was. Those two teachers lived in different other worlds, so even if they had to go to both, there should at least be a certain order.
After some deliberation, Lin Zhenxi decided to go to the Garden of Death to find her witch teacher. After all, the witch teacher dealt with the issue of magic, and magic was the source of a witch's power and the foundation of everything. Regardless of the nature of the power, it ultimately came down to the driving force of magic.
"The Third Law: Soul Materialization" only consumes mental energy, not magic power, but Lin Zhenxi herself isn't particularly adept at magic under the Third Law. Her strongest skill is actually "The Second Law: Equivalent Exchange," as that's all she learned when she first began learning magic. The next best skill is "The First Law: Elemental Resonance." In terms of magical power, the First Law, capable of leveraging surrounding elements for personal gain, is the most powerful of the three. When Lin Zhenxi fights someone now, she typically uses magic under the First Law as her primary offensive tool.
Well, except for the magic cannon, the principle of that thing is more complicated, involving the operation of time, space and the law of causality. Although its effect is only to give the object a "launching" state, if we really break it down and explain it, it will probably take up another whole chapter.
In short, "Launch" is the stepping stone to "Root Magic: Blue", and because Lin Zhenxi has the magical talent of both time and space, she is qualified to learn "Root Magic: Blue", which is why she chose the magician with a casual and free personality as her teacher instead of her best friend who is more like a witch.
Although Lin Zhenxi also learned a lot from her second teacher's best friend, her code name "Fairy Tale Witch" was given because she controlled familiars whose prototypes could be found in fairy tales.
However, Lin Zhenxi herself does not like this soft code name very much. She has always wanted to change herself to a more powerful code name, such as the Nuclear Explosion Witch.
Who says explosions are only men’s romance? Lin Zhenxi also likes it, and no one has ever said that she is a tomboy.
After deciding the order in which to visit the teachers, Lin Zhenxi began compiling a list of questions to ask. Returning to the teacher's alternate world required Contribution Points, which were much harder to earn than money and far more useful, so it was best to spend them sparingly and make all the necessary preparations before going.
After a brief thought, Lin Zhenxi realized she had a lot of questions, enough to fill a whole sheet of paper. Finally, it was time to get off work. Lin Zhenxi jumped up from her office chair, picked up the black cat sprawled out on the sofa, threw it over her shoulder, and quickly left her office.
(The black cat was startled awake and meowed with a long, drawn-out cry, the pitch of the sound almost out of tune.)
It was impossible to work overtime, never in this lifetime. As soon as it was time to leave the office, staying in the office for more than ten seconds would be a sin.
Once she reached the street, Lin Zhenxi pulled out her personal terminal and began looking for a place to eat tonight. She wouldn't be going to Xinju Xialou. It was boring to always go to the same place. Besides, starting tomorrow, she'd be the boss of Xinju Xialou. That meant she could eat whenever she wanted. So, what was the point of sticking to the same place? She needed to develop more resources.
And now Lin Zhenxi is rich, very rich! It was only at this moment that she felt a little bit of the reality that she already had a huge sum of more than 3 billion yuan. That is, from now on, when she goes to a restaurant, she can arrogantly ask for everything on the menu.
In fact, two servings would be fine. Eating one and throwing away the other would be enough for Lin Zhenxi to eat forever. However, diligence and thriftiness are virtues that the Lin family has emphasized since childhood. If Lin's mother knew that Lin Zhenxi had developed a habit of extravagance and waste, it would probably not be something that could be solved by nagging.
It will probably be a mixed doubles match, and maybe the points will be scored in the first half and the second half. As for whether there will be overtime and a revival match, it depends on whether Lin Zhenxi has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes.
After scanning around on her personal device, Lin Zhenxi found a kebab place with high online reviews. It was a bit far, even to the other side of the block. She'd have to call another hovercar to make up for the fare she owed that morning.
So Denuo Travel is here to show off its presence again, but I don’t know if it can collect any advertising fees...
After getting in the car, when Lin Zhenxi went to see the store again, she suddenly realized that the neighborhood where the house was located seemed a little unusual.
She had just glanced at the distance and the name. Now, after opening the positioning map and looking at the location coordinates, Lin Zhenxi discovered that her destination was in "Area K".
Xinlan City is a city that respects order and allows aliens and humans to live in harmony. However, Xinlan City is only strict with humans and criminals who cross the boundaries between the two ethnic groups. If the criminal activities are limited to aliens and the scope is only within the alien settlement area, then the Xinlan City government will not interfere too much.
After all, the government of Xinlan City is still largely run by humans, and China is unlikely to give up its sovereignty over its territory just because it favors foreigners. Therefore, Xinlan City maintains strict control over its human residents and will punish foreigners who endanger humanity. However, if conflicts arise between foreigners themselves within their settlements, the Xinlan City government will selectively turn a blind eye.
The area where foreigners live together, there is a lack of urban management, and it mainly relies on residents' self-governance is the so-called "K zone".
That kind of place, especially at night, is not safe, especially for humans.
