Chapter 103 Slipped Away



Judy placed the strange magic core that the patrolman had taken out on the scale.

"This one is 10 silver coins." This kind of magic core is quite large, but the energy value contained is not much, which shows that it is a very mixed variety.

"Will you accept this too?" The patrolman didn't have much hope at first, but was a little surprised after hearing the offer.

"Well, as long as the scale shows a price, we'll take it."

The magic apprentice nearby was also surprised when he saw it: "What is this?" He had never seen such a large and worthless magic core.

"Ditch Rat Magic Cores." The patrolman grinned at the news that this useless item could be sold for money. He hadn't even had time to think about the intricacies of the treatment station's willingness to continue purchasing 'Ditch Rat Magic Cores' after revealing their source.

"Huh?" The magic apprentice took two steps back in disgust. He had heard of the Ditch Rat, but the magic core of this beast was simply not available in the market, so he couldn't recognize it. "Why did you buy this? To make the magic ineffective?"

After hearing the magic apprentice's words, the patrolman began to regret his hasty words. He observed Judy's expression and said, "You said you would take it. You can't go back on your word."

"It's okay. We'll confirm the purchase." Judy had heard Eryi's instructions many times before: the scale wouldn't make mistakes; as long as it showed the right price, it was safe to buy. Eryi had already handed over the management of the reception hall to her, so she could make the final decision on these minor matters.

"Will you continue to purchase them?" the patrolman probed again. They had an entire warehouse full of them. Ditch rat cores couldn't be discarded carelessly. They were just as disgusting as the rats themselves, and discarding them would pollute the environment and distort the magical field. They could only find a warehouse and have a magician set up a magic circle to store them centrally.

"We will not stop purchasing magic cores within two months." Judy replied.

I've been earning a lot of gold lately, but the amount of magic cores I've acquired hasn't kept pace. No matter how strange the magic cores, as long as they contain energy, the more the better.

Patrol room, break time.

The patrol captain was very upset because he was fined.

He turned around and saw the patrolman he had tricked into taking out the trash, slacking off with the other patrolmen. They were talking and laughing, not knowing how to control their voices, and even letting out bursts of exclamations, which only annoyed him further.

"What's wrong with you?" The captain said with a stern face: "Is it because you haven't trained enough recently that you have too much energy? Run three laps around Sunset City." Sunset City is quite big, and running three laps will take a life.

When several team members saw the captain coming, they quickly stood in a row and said, "Captain, the lord once said that all the magic cores of the ditch rats should be given to us, right?" The captain is the one who can fight for their rights at critical moments. He is in the same camp as them, so important information must be revealed to him.

"How can the lord have time to care about us?" The captain put his hands behind his back and glanced at the faces of several subordinates: "These magic cores do belong to us. At the beginning, it was said that we could get magic cores as a reward, but in the end, those useless garbage even cost us some money to hire magicians to deal with them." He became more and more angry as he thought about it, and his expression became more and more fierce.

The reactions of several team members were exactly the opposite of the captain's. After hearing what he said, strange smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.

"What if these magic cores can be sold for money?" said a team member with the most obscene smile mysteriously.

"Then you might have been scammed." The captain, a man of experience, said, "Tell me how much money you were scammed out of. Does he say he has a channel to process the matter, but it requires money to open up the relationship?"

"Or has he developed a new magic item that can use these magic cores as energy, and wants you to advance the money to build it first?"

The team members who were secretly happy suddenly stared at their captain and looked him up and down: "Captain, how come you are so familiar with this routine?"

"Can my knowledge be the same as yours?" The captain's tense face relaxed slightly.

The patrolmen exchanged glances. "The Treatment Station is buying this stuff, and they don't have to pay anything upfront. They say they'll take whatever they can get."

"It's them again." The captain was even more certain that this was a scam.

Dark Lake City.

Perhaps because the ban on leaving Dark Marsh City hadn't been lifted recently, things were starting to feel a bit unsafe inside. Eryi, with his magic carriage and sleek magic wolves, traveled back and forth between Sunset City and Dark Marsh City via the teleportation array every few days, looking like a real fat sheep.

She was robbed again.

It wasn't just one or two people who dared to rob her. The person who came had already figured out Mao Rongrong's social status and guessed that Eryi brought Mao Rongrong with him because she had no fighting ability.

Money can move people's hearts, not to mention that Eryi once said that the lottery will start as long as the purchase magic reaches 500 gold coins.

"Then she must have at least 500 gold coins."

500 gold coins are enough to issue a quasi-A-level task.

With enough manpower, we can get to work right away.

However--

"I heard that this is a quasi-third-level magic wolf, but I didn't hear that it is a quasi-third-level magic wolf that can recover infinitely!" The robbers wailed.

After Eryi's intermediate healing skill reached level 5, his recovery ability was astonishing. He cast this skill on Fluffy, extending its health bar infinitely. Furthermore, Eryi could produce a large number of elemental crystals to replenish its mana, and the looters grew increasingly fearful.

"Attack the priest first!"

【Shield activated】

“…”

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Attack!"

“…”

The demon wolf would at least be injured, but the priestess was invulnerable to swords and guns, and even the enchanted items could not cause any harm to her.

After Eryi had knocked down all the people, the patrol soldiers finally arrived and took the robbers away.

Eryi came back from Anze City. He had just fought a fight and his fatigue value had reached 85. He hoped to return to the treatment station to rest as soon as possible.

"Why did it stop here?" Eryi saw the magic carriage stop and thought they had arrived at their destination. However, as soon as he leaned out of the carriage, he realized that they were in the wrong place.

The temporary driver kept looking forward and said, "Your Excellency the Priest, there's a blockage ahead." Following his gaze, one could see many people gathered around the road, pointing and talking, with dozens of patrolmen in matching uniforms among them.

"Let's go here first." Eryi paid a silver coin to the driver and decided to get off the car and walk over. It was only a hundred meters away anyway.

Eryi pushed through the crowd and walked in. She found that the road was blocked by several carriages. She counted them as she walked. There were exactly eight carriages. When she reached the end, she found the last carriage parked right in front of the treatment station. The patrolmen were unloading the large boxes from the carriage.

"What's wrong?" Eryi wondered.

"They said they were selling magic cores." Barton was standing at the door. He had become familiar with Piccolo recently and was letting Piccolo sit on his shoulders to watch the fun together: "They just sold a wave this morning, and now they've pulled in another 8 trucks." After he finished speaking, he saw clearly who was talking to him.

He came over and asked, "Master Priest, why are you buying so many magic cores? I took a look, and these are the magic cores of the 'Ditch Rat'."

"No comment."

Eryi walked into the treatment station and saw the patrolmen following a serious-looking man and surrounding the counter.

Judy was constantly placing magic cores on the scales at the counter. However, because the "Ditch Rat" magic cores were so large, she could only fit five at a time. This task was already taking a long time. At this rate, she wondered if she would have finished counting the entire cart of magic cores by sunset.

People in this dimension are actually not very good at math.

After studying, Judy's math skills are already among the best among her peers. Being within the top 100 is fine, but it is actually quite difficult for her to go beyond that.

She could see sweat was already breaking out on her forehead, and now Qiao Li was helping her keep records. But according to their record-keeping method, the final settlement would probably be a hassle.

008, what is the total energy value of the magic cores in these cars?

[Reporting to the host, there are a total of 8 vehicles outside, 2 of which are outside the system's range and cannot be detected. The remaining total is 420,912 energy points, which converts to purchase coins, which is approximately 632 gold coins rounded off.]

According to an estimate, each vehicle is loaded with magic cores worth approximately 105.3 gold coins.

Eryi walked forward and gently held down Judy's hand as she continued to place the magic cores on the scale. "Are those carts of magic cores outside all for sale to us?"

"Yes." The patrol captain nodded.

"The price is 843 gold coins. If you think it's okay, you can move everything in."

I've been making a lot of money lately, and the speed at which I've acquired magic cores hasn't kept pace with the speed at which I've made money. I've acquired over 500,000 energy points worth of magic cores in one go. It's like someone's sending me a pillow when I'm sleepy. Thinking of this, Eryi even softened his tone.

The patrol captain frowned, feeling something was wrong, and said cautiously, "Take out the gold coins first."

"Okay." Eryi responded readily.

As long as it is within the system management scope of the treatment station, Eryi is not afraid of anyone stealing or robbing things from under her eyes.

The Empire's gold coins were not large, and more than 800 pieces sounded like a lot, but they could all be put into a box slightly larger than a napkin box.

Under the captain's instructions, a patrolman took the box full of gold coins. His hands trembled as he held the box.

This was over 800 gold coins, none of which belonged to someone else, and none of which were fake. They were to be divided equally among the patrol. He had already begun calculating how much he would get.

The patrol captain looked at Eryi with suspicion, picked up one of the gold coins, pinched it hard, and looked at it back and forth.

——He couldn’t bite it. What if there was some strange medicine on it?

"It's the Empire's common gold coin." He tossed the deformed coin back into the box and ordered, "Count it."

"Can we move the magic core in now?" Er Yi gestured.

The patrol leader pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Move."

After Eryi converted all the magic cores into energy values, he went back to rest happily, while the patrol members and their captain had different expressions.

"Maybe there is a backup plan." The captain said, holding a box of gold coins.

"Let's divide the gold coins first." The team members just wanted to know how much money they could get. There were only a few hundred patrol members in Sunset City, which was not a lot. They calculated that each person could get two coins.

Barton picked up his notebook to make some notes. Piccolo pointed at his notebook and corrected him, "Eryi didn't turn these magic cores into potions and various magical items and use them for adventures. She preferred to lock herself in the house every day. And her name isn't Maria."

Patton closed his notebook and let Piccolo down from his shoulder: "This is creation."
