Chapter 81
The head of teaching carefully checked the form several times before stamping it.
A door suddenly appeared in front of her, and Xi Miao opened it without hesitation, leaving the station immediately without lingering for a second.
The principal's offer was far too generous.
Players who were about ten points short of their goal had already given up hope, but when they heard that a single clue could add five to ten points, they immediately perked up.
Players usually have one or two useful items.
Of course, some of these are used for tracking.
Qi Qi had one of these props in her hand, and as soon as the principal finished speaking, she volunteered to go to the top floor.
That was a prop that could display footprints.
Qi Qi stood at the entrance of the stairwell and used the prop, and two rows of identical footprints appeared instantly.
One line leads to the principal's office, and the other to the education department; both are places you can only go to, never return to.
The principal standing beside her seemed to realize something, and his transparent body instantly turned black as if it had been mixed with ink.
The next second, he appeared at the entrance of the Education Office. "Someone left?"
The head of academic affairs stood up nervously. "Yes, Principal, a student just graduated!"
She got away!
The principal's chest heaved a few times, but surprisingly he didn't fly into a rage.
He glanced at the head of the teaching department, "Get ready, Theresa."
His plan was to be carried out in a much larger way.
Xi Miao didn't know what happened after the train passed through the second middle school. She went through that door back to the Doomsday Shelter. The first thing she did was wash up and get a good night's sleep.
She hadn't slept well for several days, and the dark circles under her eyes were almost as prominent as a panda's.
Lisa quietly covered her with the blanket, put the bed curtains back in place, and then sat quietly at the table to read comics.
Those were the entertainment toys that Xi Miao had obtained from the treasure chest. Two sets of comic books filled half of the bookshelf, keeping Lisa occupied while she waited.
In the few days while waiting for Xi Miao to return, Lisa had already finished reading the first two books.
It's an adventure story where the protagonist meets one like-minded companion after another and travels together.
As Lisa looked at it, she couldn't help but think of her and Xi Miao.
She seemed to understand what Xi Miao had said when he invited her into the car.
She wasn't a servant; they were more like partners in a comic book, caring for, worrying about, and accompanying each other.
Lisa's lips unconsciously curled up. She casually touched the crystal chandelier, glanced at the time, and prepared to prepare two breakfasts in five hours.
Xi Miao was awakened by the fragrance.
The aroma of the beef cooked with spices is so strong that it can be smelled even through layers of curtains.
Before Xi Miao even opened her eyes, her stomach started growling.
She struggled for a few moments before finally opening her eyes. She sat up, stretched her limbs, and realized that the aroma she had just smelled was from food Lisa had prepared. With a sigh, she lifted the curtain, walked to the second carriage, and sat down at the dining table. "Lisa, it's so good to have you here."
Although there was food in my backpack, pre-cooked food can never taste as good as freshly cooked food.
When she has the chance to enjoy life, Xi Miao never shortchanges herself.
Lisa was so focused that she only turned her head when she heard Xi Miao's voice, and then said with a somewhat apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, I forgot to close the door."
The train is very well sealed. If you close the door between the first and second carriages, no smell will get into the first carriage.
With Xi Miao away for the past few days, Lisa has been going to the third carriage every day, and she's gotten used to opening those doors.
Xi Miao waved her hand, her eyes glued to the pot, "This doesn't matter. I can smell the beef. What did you make?"
"Maruko," Lisa smiled. She was still not very good at making expressions. Her smile was something she practiced in front of the mirror after reading comic books. It was so perfect that she looked like a puppet. "I saw a recipe in a comic book and tried to make it."
As soon as the pot lid was lifted, the small meatballs, neatly arranged and stewing in the broth, rolled around a few times, and the aroma of meat wafted straight into Xi Miao's nose.
She jumped up with a start, quickly washed up, and sat back down at the dining table.
Unfortunately, Lisa didn't quite understand the essence of Chinese soup rice, and served stewed meatballs with noodles.
Xi Miao felt regretful, but her mouth kept talking.
"It's so delicious! Lisa, this family can't function without you!"
Lisa, with a big smile on her face, sat opposite her and ate the meatballs in small bites.
Someone else sitting here might be startled by Lisa's smile, but Xi Miao didn't care at all. She knew that Lisa was expressing her happiness.
After finishing her meal, Xi Miao began to organize the things she had obtained from the previous stop.
The largest one was soaking in water and couldn't be used for the time being, so Xi Miao simply ignored it, rubbed her hands together, and focused on unpacking the box.
One silver treasure chest and 15 gold treasure chests—opening them one by one is incredibly satisfying.
Especially the moment you open the golden treasure chest and see the golden light, it's even more exciting than opening a gold card in the game.
[You have obtained: 5 cooking oils, 10 pig trotters, 1 mutton set meal, 3 spices, 10 cow feed, 1 invisibility cloak, 1 "Eavesdropping" item, 1 jade pendant, 1 carriage, 1 "Power Pill," 1 discarded mechanical core, 3 confusion grenades, 1 door key, 1 energy cube, 1 shadow puppet, 1 piece of divine chalk... 1 "Thinking of You" leaf, 1 sparring dummy, 1 knife maintenance kit, 1 universal translator, 3 spider slime items, and 1 beginner's guide to slashing techniques.]
More than fifty items were unearthed in one go. After removing the duplicates, what remained was quite a sight.
Out with the old, in with the new. In the last stop, she used a substitute straw doll, and immediately got a peace jade pendant, which is also a life-saving item.
However, unlike the substitute straw doll, it can help the player wearing it withstand one potentially fatal attack.
Besides that, what intrigued Xi Miao the most was the abandoned mechanical core.
As you can tell from the name, this thing is a scrapped item.
The description is useless; it seems to have been taken from a Gundam-like robot. It's technologically advanced, but it's now obsolete.
"That's it? And it even occupies a separate golden treasure chest?"
Xi Miao didn't understand, "This should be classified as recyclable waste!"
Speaking of garbage, she suddenly remembered something and looked at the furnace.
[Junk Furnace: Can be used for crafting (throwing junk in has a chance to trigger a transformation from trash to treasure)]
Xi Miao initially had high hopes for this attribute and frequently threw trash into the furnace.
Obviously, turning waste into treasure is not so easy.
She throws away a piece of trash every day, and the furnace returns a piece of trash to her.
After a long time, Xi Miao gradually forgot about it and became too lazy to throw trash in there, only trying it when she needed to.
How about we try again?
Xi Miao looked left and right, realizing that the discarded mechanical core was unusable, so she gritted her teeth and stuffed it into the furnace.
"At worst, I'll just go from pretty trash to ugly trash!"
Despite saying this, Xi Miao's eyes betrayed her anticipation.
The furnace crackled and popped as it burned, then spat out a small, black cube.
"What's this?"
Xi Miao was slightly disappointed, but then she suddenly heard the system's voice.
Congratulations on successfully reaching Level 4! Train information has been updated!
