EBE Chapter 71 How could student loans possibly make money off me?
Chapter 71 How could student loans possibly make money off me?
"I am Seth." Seth looked at the miserable state of the forest owl before him, his eye twitching, and he didn't want to say any more lines.
"You did well. I still need to study the literature, so I won't accompany you any further. Go on."
He casually tossed his trench coat and turned around: "If you're interested after this is all over, you can find me in the teaching building on the east side."
Seth harbored the intention to poach people.
Although adventurers have somewhat eccentric personalities, they are indeed useful in the current special circumstances and are worth recruiting.
Fang Qi then floated into the room, simultaneously compiling the mission progress information.
[Upon completion of Optional Mission 1, Seth's affinity will increase, the Archaeology Branch map will be unlocked, and you can explore it after completing the main mission.]
"It's done!" The players perked up, their eyes turning eager as they looked at Seth.
But they couldn't afford to build relationships, because just looking at the flashing red lights around them, they knew the situation had escalated. If they waited for the surface units to return, they would most likely be wiped out.
This is like a different kind of countdown, a race, and it can't be delayed.
As for the "F01 supply station" mentioned in the broadcast... it's probably a subordinate unit of the Divine Stele.
The players didn't care much, quickly checked the boxes, and then, followed by Fang Qi, continued their advance.
The final battlefield is on a massive platform standing in the void.
In the center of the platform, a giant mechanical eyeball floats in the air.
Its outer shell is as perfectly sealed as a divine monument, surrounded by the same golden characters, only there are four of them.
Outside the venue, countless beams of light shot into the sky.
With the final battle approaching, players are no longer saving time on contracts and are turning to text-based gameplay.
[Apero - All-Seeing Eye, Magical Mechanical Creature/Regional Core, Level: Unspecified.]
"Status: Physical Immunity" "Status: Magic Reversal" "Status: Life Regeneration" "Status: Control Resistance"
"No way, these big eyes can defend against everything, they're practically invincible..."
Zhenyu shrank her neck and nudged her new friend who she had just added: "I don't think it'll work out, what do you think, Qiling?"
"Qiling, what are you doing?" The sisters didn't react; instead, they stared intently at the pillar of light beside them.
Zhenyu followed the gaze and glanced over... Wow, that's actually quite interesting.
Fang Qi was also a little curious about the two people's actions: "Let me see..."
"Fragments of a Private Diary"
"...I've discovered a huge secret. Chief Magic Architect Hermer has secretly encapsulated an emotional module called 'Dawn' in the defense code of the All-Seeing Eye!"
His message is also in the backstage log:
"If one day, 'God' really descends... I hope she is not a cold weapon, but a lively and lovely girl."
My God!
That guy with facial paralysis never married; it turns out he was raising a daughter online?!
"He has this kind of fetish?"
"Holy crap!" Fang Qi and Luo Xi, along with Seth and the other two who had been dragged along by Luo Xi and were secretly following behind, were all shocked.
Fang Qi was surprised by the description of the "Dawn" emotional module, while Seth was surprised that such a serious ancient magical civilization actually had this side.
As for Luo Xi, Zhen Yu, and Qi Ling... they were all just watching the drama unfold.
Yes, the story of a cool, aloof CEO dad and his clueless, nerdy daughter is quite interesting.
But now is not the time to do that!
Why would someone throw out someone else's diary in a perfectly good library?
Fang Qi couldn't help but exert his strength.
[An abnormal status was detected in the core "All-Seeing Eye". A "Temporary Calibration Contract" has been activated.]
The exchange panel was thrown directly in front of the players, forcibly diverting their attention.
"The books in the library are quite good! Oh well, I'll read them after I finish typing."
Qi Ling reluctantly withdrew her gaze, her pupils contracting as she focused on the projection that was immediately obscuring her face.
[Logic Correction Sticker: A functional item that can be given to the Divine Stele to inscribe divine characters, or pasted into blank spaces.]
A simple sentence that stirred the players' emotions.
This thing is extremely useful; it's most likely the key to breaking the invincible mechanism of the Big Eyes!
One block for one, not expensive, I bought it!
Qi Ling, holding a sticky note, approached Fang Qi: "Help me carve a few words, just write... Status: Broken Defense and Weakness."
"Note: Request received. Standard block quantity required for inscription: 1000. Confirm?"
"Explanation: The script of the divine era is a manifestation of magic. Different meanings require different amounts of energy to inscribe."
Fang Qi was not lying.
The newly loaded extension module in the trading terminal can indeed consume indices to generate divine characters, and it is currently effective within authorized areas.
As for the price...
Expensive, really expensive!
Even Fang Qi thought it was expensive, so Qi Ling naturally didn't think so either. She immediately waved her hands, saying, "Never mind, it's not that bad."
She was really afraid that she might accidentally deduct so many gold coins that her balance would go negative, and she would have to spend the rest of her life working in the game to pay off her debts.
"Write me a dot, and a short one too." Qi Ling's eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something.
This wasn't expensive; Fang Qi received a base fee plus a commission.
Seeing this, others also gathered around, spouting all sorts of strange remarks.
For example, I tried everything: "speed up," "pay the bill," "weekend," "off work," "hard," "lasting"...
The players who came were all somewhat wealthy and knew how to make money.
The Apero civilization is clearly not simple; it's likely to be the main storyline later on, and the divine script will be of great use!
Moreover, a high-level intelligent entity like the "Divine Stele" would normally have very strict conditions for opening various contracts. Once this opportunity is missed, it might be gone forever!
It would be best to use it now, as you can exchange combat contributions for "Extra Limit Skills". Even if you can't use it, it can at least be a limited-edition souvenir, right?
Buy! You absolutely must buy! Clear out your gold coins!
"Do you have any money left? Lend me some!" Qi Ling nudged Zhen Yu beside her.
"Me?" Zhenyu pointed to herself and looked at the scholarship sponsorship agreement in her backpack.
She did indeed spend all her gold coins, but if you had to say whether she had any left... maybe, perhaps she really did?
I found this on the creation machine in the store. The item description says that if you use it, you will receive a scholarship of 10 gold coins.
But the condition is that you have to work for "Vision Shop" for a month and pay it off after that, otherwise you'll have to work another month...
Suddenly, Zhenyu had a brilliant idea: "Nine out, thirteen back, how about it?"
"Huh?" Qi Ling was taken aback. No, this seems to be ancient usury, doesn't it?
"Thirteen? Let's make a deal, how about eleven?" Du Ge interjected.
Zhenyu did the math and figured that, based on the 11th, the actual interest rate would be around 22%, which seemed... not bad?
"Okay, first order discount, I'll lend you 10,000." She waved her hand and secretly used a prop at the same time.
"I'm so clever! It's just a cricket loan, how could they possibly make money off me?"
As for unpaid work, well, that's a minor issue!
I only work eight hours a day, and I get a commission. There's plenty of time to work hard on other things!
"Hmm? The matter of the 'tool' is resolved?" Fang Qi glanced at Zhenyu without leaving a trace.
One was in the light, the other in the shadows, and they laughed at the same time.
