Fangzheng looked at the girl who was kicking the reinforced concrete angrily. The girl did not seem to notice his existence at all. She just kept kicking the well in front of her while muttering.
"Damn it, don't think this is the end! You'd better remember this! "
The silver-haired young lady pounced to the well's mouth and yelled at it.
"You despicable bug! People like you should [— beep —] first, then [— beep —]. Sooner or later, I'll [— beep —] you!!"
"Woah …"
Fangzheng clicked his tongue in wonder as he listened to the series of muffled vulgarities. He did not know who provoked this young lady to say such vulgar words in a place like this.
After venting her anger, the silver-haired girl finally calmed down. She turned her head and looked at Fangzheng who was standing not far away.
"You saw it?"
"More or less. It's a little hard to imagine."
As he spoke, Fangzheng sized up the girl in front of him curiously. Her exquisite face resembled that of a doll's. Her skin was fair, and she had long silver-white hair. Her expression was so cold that it was nearly undetectable. If he had not seen the scene of her venting by the well just now, he would have thought that she was just an iceberg character.
In fact, her voice did not sound any different from Lizzy's just now.
That was if he disregarded the scene of her shouting at the well.
"Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I'll come here and vent my anger at the mouth of the well."
However, the silver-haired girl was completely unlike the heroines in many works, who would either fly into a rage out of humiliation or beg bitterly after their secret was discovered. On the contrary, to her, it seemed like a trivial matter.
"It's a good way to vent your anger."
Fangzheng only chuckled and didn't say a word. As for the silver-haired girl, she planned on leaving, but at that moment, Fangzheng suddenly called out to her.
"Excuse me, I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"I want to know the location of all the mobile cities, even if it's just a rough area.... Do you know where I can find someone who knows this information?"
"What do you want these for?"
The silver-haired girl turned to look at Fangzheng and frowned slightly.
"Moreover, many mobile cities have been destroyed by the polluted beasts."
"I know, but I just need to know the location."
It did not matter if the mobile city was destroyed or not. What was important was the mobile city's core. The electronic sprites were born from the core, and they were similar to artificial AI. Although she herself also recorded information, the real information was still stored in the mobile city's core. Therefore, even if the city was destroyed, as long as the core was found, Fangzheng could still collect the information inside.
With the Electronic Sprite around, it would naturally be more convenient.
"…"
The silver-haired girl was silent for a moment in response to Fangzheng's question.
"You can look for the student council president."
"Hmm?"
"Jelni is a city governed by students, so the president is also the ruler of this city. He should know some information."
"I understand, thank you."
Upon hearing the silver-haired girl's answer, Fangzheng nodded at her, turned around, and was about to leave. But at this moment, the silver-haired girl stopped Fangzheng.
"Since you want to look for the student council president, come with me."
After saying this, the silver-haired girl turned around and left. Looking at her back, Fangzheng was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly followed her.
While walking, Fangzheng chatted with the silver-haired girl. During their conversation, Fangzheng learned that the silver-haired girl's name was Phyllis Ross, a second-year martial arts student. Out of curiosity, Fangzheng wanted to ask about her abilities and other information, but Phyllis didn't seem willing to talk about it, so Fangzheng didn't ask further.
On the other hand, Fangzheng also introduced his background to Phyllis.
"Tendo Temple? Faran Undead Squad? "
Phyllis looked a little curious when she heard this.
"What a strange name … But there are a lot of strange cities out there … But what do you want them for?"
"We're conducting a survey of all the mobile cities."
"Survey? What's the use? "
"Hohoho, I can't tell you that for the time being."
Fangzheng chuckled and didn't answer. Phyllis didn't say anything else either. She just led Fangzheng to the Student Union.
As the governing body of the entire campus city, the Student Union here was also located at the top of a rather tall tower, and one needed to take an elevator to reach it. Phyllis seemed to be very familiar with the people here. After chatting with several students outside for a while, she immediately led Fangzheng into the elevator. They went all the way up to the Student Union room at the top of the tower. Phyllis walked forward and pushed the door open without saying a word.
"Oh?"
As soon as the door of the Student Union room was pushed open, Fangzheng saw a young man with the same silver-white hair and glasses sitting behind a desk with a bunch of beautiful women in his arms. When he saw Phyllis coming in, he opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Phyllis.
"I didn't expect you to be here. What's the matter?"
"I'm here with someone."
Phyllis was expressionless and her tone was cold. She was more or less lively when she was talking to Fangzheng just now, but now, the atmosphere around Phyllis had dropped to the freezing point.
Could it be that these two people … are they related in some way?
Fangzheng looked at Phyllis, then at the man opposite her. Judging from Phyllis's reaction, the two obviously knew each other. And judging from their hair colours … Could they be related by blood?
"Hello, sir."
The man didn't seem to care about Phyllis' indifference. He stood up with a smile and extended his hand to Fangzheng.
"I'm Calian Ross, the president of the Student Union of the Campus City Jelnie. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, my name is Fangzheng, and I'm from the Tendo Temple."
As Fangzheng spoke, he shook the man's hand. At the same time, he glanced at Phyllis inconspicuously. He remembered that she had introduced herself as Phyllis Ross, and the man in front of him was called Calian Ross … Hmm, they should be brother and sister.
But judging from the situation just now, the relationship between the brother and sister didn't seem to be very good.
"The Tendo Temple …? Then, Mr. Fangzheng, may I know what you're looking for? "
As he spoke, Calian waved his hand, and the women around him quickly dispersed. Fangzheng shrugged.
"Well, I want to know the range and specific location of all the mobile cities, and I want to talk about cooperation and trade with Jelnie to see if there's any place we can go."
"In other words, you're the representative of the Tendo Temple? But your first request is …. "
"The Tendo Temple is currently conducting a survey of all the mobile cities, but we don't have enough information to determine the location of each mobile city, so we hope to negotiate with the forces that have information in this regard to obtain information."
"Hmm …."
Calian was a little surprised to hear Fangzheng's words. He didn't expect Fangzheng to come for this.
"Mr. Fangzheng, I think you should understand that the route of a mobile city is confidential information for any city. In fact, I can tell you clearly that only the transportation city of Jordem has a rough route map, because it's the home port of all the Wanderer Buses and the only city that has a bus route map. "
The Vagabond Bus … Oh, it's that weird thing I was riding on before.
"I understand. No matter what, I still have to thank you for the information."
When Fangzheng thought of this, he nodded at Karian. At that moment, Karian looked at Fangzheng and spoke again.
"But Mr. Fangzheng, you must understand that this kind of information is also very important to Yoldem. They can't just disclose it to others. “
At this point, Karian changed the topic of conversation.
"But, I have some friendship with the ruler of Jordem. If you can reach a deal with Jelnie, perhaps I'll consider helping you."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng pricked up his brows.
"Then what is your request?"
"Since you said you want to trade, then … how about the mine?"
"Mine?"
"That's right. Perhaps you've heard about it, but in the previous School City Battle, we regrettably lost."
Karian spread his hands helplessly.
"Right now, we only have one energy mine left, so if possible, we hope to obtain a new mine source."
"An energy mine …."
Fangzheng stroked his chin. He had already heard about this matter from the young man who liked to gossip on the way here. The so-called school city battle was a large-scale Capture the Flag competition between two school cities in order to vie for an energy mine. The two school cities would attack each other, and the one who obtained the other party's flag first would be the victor. The victor would then obtain the rights to develop an energy mine.
For a mobile city, an energy mine was indispensable. The mobile city needed energy from an energy mine, and the alloy weapons called "alchemy steel" used by their martial artists also needed it. Once you lost the energy mine, you would only have one gas mine to start with. If you didn't open a branch base, you could only wait for death.
But an energy mine ….
"We don't have an energy mine to trade with."
Fangzheng told the truth. He had only been in this world for less than a day, so where could he find a mine?
"But we can use another way to trade."
"Oh? What way? "
Karian looked at Fangzheng curiously. Fangzheng smiled.
"You need an energy mine because you need energy and weapons to fight against the monsters outside, right?"
"That's right."
Karian nodded.
"In that case, the Tendo Temple has a better suggestion. We can help you upgrade the energy supply of the School City to get rid of your dependence on energy ores. As for the monsters outside …. we can sign an agreement, and the Tendo Temple will protect Jelene. What do you think?"
Karian frowned when he heard this. The two suggestions proposed by Fangzheng could indeed solve the problem, but more importantly ….
"You want to send armed forces into Jelene? With all due respect, the School City is an autonomous territory. Armed forces of other forces are not allowed to be stationed there. "
"We don't need to enter Jelene either."
Fangzheng shook his head. Then, he reached out and touched his inventory before taking out a small portable communicator.
"To put it simply, if you're attacked by those monsters and you can't deal with them yourself, you can call for reinforcements through this, and we'll help you eliminate these monsters.... By the way, you can think of us as armed mercenaries," explained Sheyan.
As he spoke, Fangzheng placed the communicator on the table.
"I'll leave this to you. It's up to you whether to use it or not. But you should know that once you use this thing, we'll be in an employer-employee relationship. When that time comes, don't even think about reneging on your promise."
"… … …"
Karian remained silent for a moment. Then, he reached for the communicator.
"I understand what you mean. Since you're so confident, I think …. I can give it a try."
Then, he said.
