"Wait, hero. Can you let me take a look at the thing in your hand?" A voice came from behind Li Huailin.
When Li Huailin heard this, he turned his head. The person who had spoken was an NPC. Moreover, it was someone he knew.
"Mike Colt?" The NPC that appeared behind Li Huailin was Mike Colt. He had once given Li Huailin a hidden quest to find his brother, but Li Huailin had rejected the quest. Li Huailin was very curious about why this guy was here. "Aren't you still looking for your brother?"
He had heard from Night Flight yesterday that they had yet to complete the quest. Shouldn't this guy be at home looking for his brother? What was he doing here?
"Hero, you still remember me." Mike Colt smiled. "I was just passing by. I didn't expect to see the thing in your hand. Can I take a look at it?"
"Huh? This thing? " Li Huailin said as he handed over the black core that had yet to be used. "Come, take a good look. If you want it, take it. Don't stand on ceremony with me."
"This thing … feels …" Mike Colt's expression became serious as he looked at it. "I want to study this thing. Hero, can you come to my house with me?"
"No need. If you want to study it, take it. Don't stand on ceremony with me," Li Huailin said as he waved his hand. It was great that someone wanted it. He could not even throw it away.
"No, hero. I can't just take other people's things," Mike Colt said immediately. "I promise I'll only take a little time."
"If you want it, then take it. Don't talk nonsense with me." Li Huailin could not stand it anymore.
"No, hero …"
"I beg you, can you take it? I'm really begging you …"
"No, hero …"
"…"
"…"
"Okay, I'll go …" Li Huailin had no choice but to follow the guy. He had tried all sorts of methods but could not get him to take it away.
"Please follow me. It shouldn't take too long."
After saying that, Mike Colt began to lead the way.
Once again, he returned to Mike Colt's house in the Craftsman District. Li Huailin had been here twice, so he was familiar with the place. Mike Colt's house was still in a mess, and his brother was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that Night Flight hadn't completed their mission yet.
"Please sit for a while. I'll go and study this thing." As soon as he got home, Mike Colt impatiently ran to the workbench at the side and started working on the Black Core with some strange tools. Li Huailin had never studied engineering, so he had no idea what this guy was doing with the tools.
But it didn't take long. After a while, Mike Colt stood up from the workbench. It seemed like he had the results of the analysis.
"This thing … is unusual …" Mike Colt said solemnly. "This is a product of engineering, and the other party's engineering skills are definitely above mine. This is definitely the work of a master engineer."
"This thing is made of engineering? I can't tell. " Li Huailin took a look at the thing. It was just a black sphere with a round interface on the outside. This thing was actually made of engineering.
"I guess if someone who doesn't understand engineering comes to look at it, they probably won't be able to tell."
Mike Colt thought for a while and said, "No, I don't think anyone in the main city will be able to tell apart from me. The craftsmanship of this thing is so exquisite that even I can't figure it out in a short time."
"Anyway, it's an engineering thing. Got it, got it," Li Huailin said. "And then? Do you still want this thing? "
"I can only tell that this is an engineering work, but I still want to study the specific function and composition of this thing."
Mike Colt said, "Can you leave this thing with me for the time being …"
"Of course, of course. I just said that I'll give it to you."
Before Mike Colt could finish his sentence, Li Huailin interrupted him, "This thing is yours. I'm leaving."
"Please wait for me, Hero. I can't take your thing for free. At least let me give you something in return," Mike Colt said immediately.
System Notification: Main Quest completed. Threat of the Dark Forces -1. Lost 3,000 experience, 1 gold coin, 300 Reputation Points.
"F * ck, I had a bad feeling just now. As expected, it's waiting for me here." Li Huailin wiped his face. "Big Brother, what grudge do I have with you? Why do you want to harm me like this?"
"Please don't thank me. You deserve it," Mike Colt said.
"Who the f * ck is thanking you? I can't wait to beat you to death." At this point, Li Huailin more or less understood the situation. This was where the quest would be completed. As for the Vatican, regardless of whether he could enter or not, he would definitely return empty-handed. Then, he would be stopped by this NPC when he stepped out of the door. Then, he would have to complete the quest.
"By the way, Hero, I have one more thing to trouble you with," Mike Colt said.
"Don't tell me you want me to accept the second quest." Li Huailin could already guess what was going to happen next.
"About this thing, I took a quick look at it. The one you have now isn't the complete version. It has already been used," Mike Colt said.
"If I want to study it, I'll have to obtain a complete black core or its blueprint. Only then can I study the internal structure of this thing."
"It's none of my business. Please stop talking," Li Huailin said.
"Since you're so straightforward, I won't say anymore," Mike Colt said. "This black core must have something to do with the ruins of Fagasta. I'm sure of it. Please go there and take a look. It's best if you can get the blueprint back. I will report it to the king and give you the reward you deserve."
System Notification: You have received the main quest, Threat of the Dark Forces -2. This black core seems to be related to the ruins of Fagasta. Please go there and take a look. Quest Reward: 20000 experience, 3 gold coins, 800 Reputation Points.
"It's over …" Li Huailin held his forehead. "I'm already here, but I still can't hide from it. How much does Mr. Main Quest like me?"
"Hero, I'm counting on you this time," Mike Colt said.
"Okay, leave it to me …" Li Huailin replied casually. Anyway, he wouldn't do it. He didn't know where the ruins of Fagasta were, so it had nothing to do with him.
"By the way, I have something here that may help you," Mike Colt suddenly said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned. "Is he going to give me something? I can give you something. The system won't deduct it. "
"Come here," Mike Colt said and walked toward a room. Li Huailin, who was a little curious about what he would be given, followed.
Following Mike Colt, they came to a place that looked more like a laboratory. There were mechanical parts and wires everywhere. It felt like an electrician's workshop, which hadn't been cleaned for several years.
"This is it." Mike Colt walked to a machine covered with a white cloth and pulled the white cloth. In an instant, dust filled the air, causing him to cough.
"What is this?" Li Huailin looked at the machine under the white cloth. It was a barrel-shaped machine, about a little taller than a person. It was surrounded by barbed wire, and there was an opening on the front, just big enough for a person to stand in.
"Stand in it first," Mike Colt said.
"Okay." Li Huailin nodded and stood on the machine.
"Wait a minute. Let me start it first to see if there are any problems." As Mike Colt spoke, he started on the console next to the machine. After a while, all the lights on the machine were turned on, and the whole machine began to roar like a diesel generator.
"It seems that it can still be used," Mike Colt said happily. "It's been two years. I thought it wouldn't work."
"What kind of machine is this?" Li Huailin asked.
"This is a teleportation machine that I developed before. It can teleport people to a specific place. I have a teleportation point in York, which happens to be next to the ruins of Fagersta. So, I used this machine to send you there. It's much more convenient. Otherwise, it would take at least two days to get there by carriage," Mike Colt said proudly.
"Well, there is such a machine …" Li Huailin nodded. Then, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Wait, what did you just say …"
"To send you to York," Mike Colt said. "Okay, the machine is starting."
"Hey, brother, don't mess around. I didn't say I wanted to go there." Li Huailin immediately wanted to get off, but the iron door of the machine closed, directly locking Li Huailin inside.
"Oh, by the way, because this machine is not very stable, and it has been here for two years, there may be some accidents during the teleportation. Please be careful," Mike Colt kindly reminded him.
"Damn it, let me come out and strangle you to death." Li Huailin really couldn't come out. Otherwise, he really wanted to strangle this guy.
"Okay, setup complete. Start. 3, 2, 1."
Li Huailin felt a huge flash of white light, forcing him to close his eyes. In the next second, Li Huailin felt that his feet had lost their support, and his whole body began to fall.
When he opened his eyes, Li Huailin found that he was actually in the air, and he was at least 50 meters above the ground. Below him was a vast expanse of white snow.
"Damn it, how am I supposed to play this game!" Li Huailin only had time to say this before he plunged directly into the snow below.
