Chapter 58 Enrollment... Contract? I think it's like working illegally!
You have triggered a "teleportation trap".
【Circular Corridor】
Two lines of large text appeared before Zhenyu's eyes. The first line was a system prompt, and the second line was similar in font to the first, but with subtle differences.
"Teleportation trap? Circular corridor?" She didn't care about the graininess of the font; instead, she felt like she had hit the jackpot.
The magnificent, pure white hall before them, the deep, starry dome, and the mysterious pages behind them displaying the symbol [???]—all these elements reveal the extraordinary nature of this place.
What are you waiting for? Quickly take screenshots and record the video, then send it to the group!
If those kids hadn't come, they would have missed out on some great stuff, and they'd have regretted it to death!
Turning on the recording function, Zhenyu turned around with curiosity in her eyes and reached out to touch the pages of the book behind her that were emitting a soft glow.
Fang Qi, of course, wouldn't let anyone touch his food, so he immediately threw out a transparent wall.
thump.
Caught off guard, Zhenyu stumbled and took two steps back before finally seeing the message.
"Let's explore the area ahead later."
It's an invisible wall, I'm used to it.
Without giving it much thought, she turned and left.
After walking around the corridor, aside from finding the texture materials to be very exquisite and some empty spaces, Zhenyu did not find anything unusual.
Undeterred, she wandered around again, looking very carefully to make sure there was nothing there.
"Is it a bug, or is the map not set up correctly?"
Zhenyu was still thinking about the glowing weapon. Since she had already recorded it, she decided not to bother with it anymore. She took out a crystal and was about to start the process of returning to town.
Clang!
In the empty corridor, a sharp clanging sound of metal plates colliding suddenly rang out.
Her hand trembled, interrupting her as she read the note halfway through: "Holy crap, a surprise attack, huh?"
Peek out.
Something that looked very familiar was placed in the shelf closest to the pages of the book.
If it's not that vending machine that was discriminating against people based on height, what else could it be?
The vending machine was making a "click-clack" sound, as if it were running a printing program.
She walked over, and a leather scroll fell out of the outlet, still slightly curled.
"Akasha Academy Enrollment Contract"
"Admission... no, admission contract? Hogwarts issues acceptance letters, doesn't it?"
Zhenyu made a sarcastic remark, then continued reading, her expression growing increasingly strange.
"The learning location is a store, and the subject of study is sales? The working hours are eight hours a day, one day off per week, and no leave is allowed; otherwise, gold coins and experience points will be confiscated as a penalty..." She gasped in shock.
"Who would sign that contract? It's just a game, you have to work inside!"
Too lazy to look any further, she casually shoved it into her pocket, but a system notification appeared before Zhenyu's eyes:
[Congratulations on reaching the hidden map, Akasha Academy! Happy exploring!]
Hidden map!
Zhenyu was shocked and incredulously pulled out the "enrollment contract" that was described as an unfair contract from her backpack, and began to study it carefully.
"It worked! I told you this trick would work!" Fang Qi was excited as the experiment was finally a success.
He first used the contract to attract attention, and then, taking advantage of Zhenyu's distraction, he opened a passage to the outside world on the other side of the corridor, waiting for the system's judgment.
It took a while, but it successfully fooled the system and the players, so the result was good.
The system assumed the player had arrived at the new map and issued a normal notification.
Players will assume that the contract in their hands is the key to getting to the new map, and will obediently sign it.
Plans are in place!
Zhenyu was guided by Fang Qi's manipulation to establish a connection, and when she read the "selling herself... enrollment contract" again, it suddenly felt different.
The enrollment contract, on the surface, stated that she would be working in a store, doing the work of a shop assistant, but in reality, she was the only person in the store, there was no boss, and she only needed to order and ship goods according to requirements...
I imagine that stores that haven't hired anyone yet probably don't have many customers. When they're not busy, they can browse forums and chat in groups, which must be very relaxing!
Moreover, working a total of 8 hours from noon to night only takes up one-third of the time!
Doesn't that mean we can move around freely in the morning and at night?
That place is called Akasha Academy; you can definitely get a lot of things there!
Maybe there are hidden professions, powerful skills, or items, all you need to pay is a simple job, and you might even get paid...
After analyzing the situation and observing the surrounding environment, Zhenyu concluded:
"With such exquisite modeling and such a magnificent starry dome, this must be a top-tier hidden faction in this version!"
"What 'study-and-work contract'? This is clearly a prerequisite quest for joining a faction!"
Signed!
Ah, it smells so good!
As if hearing her thoughts, a quill pen fell out of the vending machine.
Signatory:
Zhenyu wielded his brush and swiftly wrote four large characters: Spicy Shredded Chicken.
[Hidden quest accepted successfully, will continue until the next version update. Player "鸩语" is requested to complete it in a timely manner according to the agreed instructions.]
A system notification appeared before her eyes.
"I didn't make it through, oh well." Zhenyu had only been hoping for a chance anyway, so she made a witty remark.
In retrospect, signing the contract was just a formality; whether it was written as "Spicy Shredded Chicken," "Poisonous Words," or even her real name, it made no difference.
In this version, everyone is level 40, and Zhenyu has already reached the maximum level and has nothing to do.
Fine, what's the difference between playing something and playing something else? Let's just enjoy the working life in the game world and explore the map after get off work!
"I've signed the agreement. Where's my NPC guide?"
Before the thought of poison had even left his mind, everything suddenly became clear.
Warm sunshine.
student.
vending machine.
There are also high-level dragon girls whose rank and name are both [???]!
The surrounding area was... ruins?
As expected of a high-level map, even the design is so unique!
"You've arrived. My name is Luo Xi, and I'm your... mentor. This is your temporary student ID, which belongs to the Alchemy Department."
Loxi handed over a card and then said, "We opened a shop and are short-staffed. You've come at the perfect time. Are you free now? Shall I show you around?"
The standard game introduction with new scenes and characters felt just right to Zhenyu.
But why does the name "Loxi" sound so familiar?
Open the system's task log and search for it.
"The veteran alchemist said: 'Greetings to Lord Loshi of Akasha,' and handed the adventurer a few bottles of low-grade invisibility potions."
"Holy crap!" All of Zhenyu's memories flooded back in an instant.
Isn't this the originator of "explosive alchemy" as described by veteran alchemists? He stands at the pinnacle of Akasha and is revered as one of the "Four Sages"!
It was actually his mentor?
This is incredibly lucky! The future looks bright!
As they followed their mentor, Rosie, the students all spontaneously made way for them, their stares confirming Zhenyu's suspicions.
"Mentor, may I learn alchemy from you?" she asked.
In Talosha, only a few alchemists are active, and they are rarely seen.
Players had only heard of this profession but couldn't find a way to get it, and now, it seems she's arrived at the profession's stronghold...
Zhenyu has reason to believe that this is the real reward of the enrollment contract!
Little did she know, her mentor, Luo Xi, and her boss, Fang Qi, were having a heated discussion in their minds.
