Game time AM08:35
East of Savage Highlands, Ancient Ruins [Codename: Purple Night] Temporary Observation Point
"Well, let me emphasize it again."

After temporarily postponing the routine exploration for an hour and confirming that everyone was in a complete state, Ms. Pesci Clark Scheller, the head of the Archaeological Association's seventh large base in Savage Highlands, stood fully armed in front of the entrance of the ruins and said to her companions in front of her seriously, "In the past week, we have thoroughly and completely explored a total of fourteen low-risk areas and achieved quite fruitful results. We have even clarified the function of this building to a certain extent, but... the real challenge has just begun."

The people standing in front of her nodded seriously at the same time. Except for Wang Badan and Yaya who stopped putting herself into a frenzy since the third day of exploration, Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, Jadka, Gu Xiaole and Lu Jiang who had officially joined the exploration were all very serious. By now, they have basically confirmed that this strange ancient ruins underground is a research institution, and most likely a research institution that is not in line with the spirit of humanitarianism.

Not only the members of the Paw Patrol, but also Largo and Bilge from the Loya tribe, and Klaus from the Archaeologists Association all showed extremely solemn expressions. Although Bilge and Klaus will not directly participate in the exploration, but will stay at a temporary observation point on the ground to provide remote support to everyone, it does not mean that the two have it easy. In fact, they are responsible for the macro-monitoring and "gridding" of large areas of the ruins through a large number of equipment. They cannot relax even more.

Because the ancient ruins of [Codename: Purple Night] are too large and have a large number of interference sources, although the hardware equipment brought here by Peggy and Klaus can still support it, and even the "black technology" in Ji Xiaoge's hands has amplified the data to an extremely ideal state, Klaus is not a super expert like Peggy who is experienced and crazy. He is just an ordinary expert. Under the condition of huge workload, both the operation precision and work error rate will be greatly worse.

Although Peschi can independently complete the logistical support work with a very low tolerance rate, it is impossible for her to stay on the ground and let Klaus lead the team in her place. In her words, with Klaus's knowledge reserves, there is a very high probability that huge mistakes will occur in the process of opening up unknown areas, which will lead to unpredictable consequences.

So, two days ago, that is, on the fifth day after the exploration officially began, the exploration team was embarrassed by the heavy workload of the observatory. Even Peschi frankly admitted that she had previously commissioned Wang Badan to cast dragon language magic, which caused Harley, who was supposed to perform basic logistical work with Klaus in this operation, to faint. The decision to let Bilge replace Harley Boyd was a bit too hasty.

But the good news is that the Highlander boy who replaced Ms. Hallie is doing very well!

In fact, when he said that he had understood a little bit after observing Mr. Klaus' work for a few days, and clumsily but accurately completed the array operations including but not limited to 'overload element', 'information feedback', 'interference elimination', and 'remote self-test' in front of everyone, even Peschi, who usually did not show his expression, was stunned for a few seconds.

On the sixth day after that, Pesch personally gave Burge about three hours of lessons. Although he did not teach the Highland boy any in-depth knowledge, he enabled him to acquire the ability to take on the responsibility of Klaus' assistant and even complete logistical work independently in extreme cases.

Admittedly, Bilger is not a monster like Futaba who was able to master the basic magic theories just two months after entering the [Realm of Innocence], and published several papers in less than a year, causing a small-scale shock in the City of Miracles, the holy land of mages. But it must be said that when completely ignoring the principles and only learning the operations, his speed of absorbing relevant knowledge is very good.

"When I think about the fact that you and Largo are related, I have the urge to call on scholars around the world to abolish genetic research."

↑This is the exclamation of Pesch after Burge completed the operation accurately after only listening to it once for the third time.

Birger shrank his neck and said firmly: "My uncle is actually very smart. He is just too stubborn in certain situations, so he seems a little stubborn."

In short, because Birger was too competitive, the problem of too much workload at the observatory was solved. As for the security work that was originally his responsibility, it was now taken over by the Warcraft partners temporarily recruited by Lu Jiang with his druid ability and several of Gu Xiaole's Shikigami.

To be honest, the security issue around the observatory... actually it should be equivalent to no problem. In other words, those magical beasts active nearby that are relatively likely to pose a threat to the observatory have been recruited by Lujiang. The ones who are really prone to security issues are the Paw Patrol, Largo, and Pacey who need to go deep into this ancient ruins.

Just as Peschi had just said, in the previous week, their exploration team had completed the exploration of most of the low-risk areas of the ancient ruins [Codename: Purple Night] and achieved certain results. In other words, the risk of the next exploration will increase significantly.

However, as the saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger, the more dangerous the place, the more valuable it is. Considering that during this period of time, everyone does not even know what force this research institute once belonged to, and it is also impossible to determine whether this relic will pose a threat to the [Loya] tribe in the surrounding area, now is obviously not a suitable time to end it.

"I have emphasized the danger level countless times before, so I will not repeat it this time. You just need to remember that even Mr. Largo or Mr. Jadka may not be able to escape unscathed in extreme situations."

Peschi's gaze lingered on the two epic-level people, and he said seriously, "Of course, even in places that we have determined to be high-risk areas, there may not be real fatal threats, but I hope you will not be paralyzed by these real or fake 'safeties', because if we win even once, it may be the last time."

To be honest, Peschi has said similar things countless times in these days. Although it should not be the two thousand five hundred and sixty-eighth time that Wang Badan casually complained, the number of related reminders would definitely not be less than three digits. However, Mo Tan and others did not feel impatient, because everyone knew that in such occasions where experts would tirelessly emphasize safety rules over and over again and give repeated reminders countless times, there was definitely a reason for them to be treated like this.

It's the same as having to wear a hard hat on a construction site. This safety rule itself means countless bloody lessons, and no one can guarantee that they will be lucky enough not to become the next lesson.

"Then, last one."

Peschi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "After you go down, all of you must strictly follow my instructions. You are not allowed to think, hesitate, or overthink. Even if I ask you to take off all your clothes, you must do it. Remember, I will never waste time explaining an instruction that may sound a little strange at a critical moment, Largo."

Largo was suddenly called out, and was stunned for a moment. He raised his hand and pointed at himself: "You called me?"

"Take this."

Peschi threw a rectangular sheet of material that was close to crystal to Largo and said concisely, "It won't work well if you stick it on your skin through a pocket. You should control your chest muscles to absorb this thing, right?"

"Yes, I can, but... well, it's nothing."

Largo, who had never discussed the function of his chest muscles with anyone, curled his lips and wisely gave up the idea of ​​arguing with the other party. He obediently put the icy thin piece on his chest and asked, "What is this?"

Pesci was still succinct: "A rubbish creation by a rubbish alchemist."

"Uh……"

Largo hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Can you tell me more details?"

"Yes, to put it simply, a poor alchemist discovered after years of painstaking research that couples are the least intelligent group and are most likely to make impulse purchases, so he developed a fancy high-end product for this group."

Although Peschi looked a little impatient, she still explained reluctantly: "This pair of things is a bit like a lie detector. It will give feedback based on the other person's emotional fluctuations. However, due to its extremely poor accuracy, the alchemist was hunted down by a large number of unlucky customers after selling only the first batch of products. In the end, God knows where he died. One of the pairs eventually came into my hands. There are two pieces in total. One piece is attached to your chest, and the other is attached to the same place on my body."

Largo: “……?”

Peschi frowned and asked Largo, "This part of your body is getting hot. What dirty things are you thinking about?" Largo: "..."

"Anyway, I made some minor improvements to this thing. In addition to those idiotic basic functions, every time I speak, you will get actual feedback through your body senses."

Peschi pointed to the spot on Largo's chest where the thin film was stuck and said calmly, "In other words, if something tries to impersonate me and mislead or deceive you, you should be the first to notice something is wrong. This is a safety measure."

Largo touched the tip of his nose and nodded: "Yeah, I understand."

"Um, Miss Pesci."

But at this moment, Ji Xiaoge suddenly raised her hand and asked curiously, "I think based on our investigations these days, there shouldn't be anything mysterious that can impersonate you to deceive us, right? Although this research base is a bit scary, it's still quite logical. I always feel that it doesn't match the... ghost story content you told me."

"Just planning for a rainy day."

Peschi, who was more patient with others than with Largo, shrugged and asked calmly, "Have you ever heard of this saying, if a sword appears in a bardic story, then this sword will always come in handy at some point in the story?"

Ji Xiaoge chuckled and flapped his wings, saying, "I haven't heard of this, but I have heard of similar things, so I understand the logic."

"Well, you'll understand."

Peschi nodded slightly, and then continued: "This sentence makes a lot of sense, but the reason here is only limited to the 'Tales of the Bard'. Reality is not a story, so if there is nothing like this in it, there will be no corresponding troubles just because I prepared this thing, but if there is... these preparations that may not be used a hundred times out of a hundred may save our lives."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The winged girl immediately nodded vigorously like a little pigeon pecking at rice, and said obediently: "I know, Sister Peixi."

"If there are no other problems, you can relax for ten minutes and then we'll set off."

Peschi said this lightly in a tone as if she was talking about the weather, and then slowly walked to the entrance of the ruins, squatting there in a daze. After a week of getting along with each other, everyone was no longer surprised by her "research behavior" that seemed a little strange but actually had clear reasons.

Then, there is the routine ten minutes of free time before exploring every day——

Largo immediately looked at Bilger and said in a deep voice, "You kid, you must cooperate with Mr. Claus and not cause trouble for him. You must do more and do it right. Remember?"

"remember."

Birger naturally nodded obediently, and said to his uncle who was very reliable as long as he was away from Ms. Peschi's radius, "Don't worry."

"Lao Jia, Yaya."

Mo Tan looked at the first two members of the Paw Patrol and said to them, "Please remember what I said before. Whether it's me, Ye Ge or Lu Jiang, we are all from another world. So if there is a crisis, don't sacrifice yourselves to save our lives. Just protect Ms. Pesci and yourself."

Yaya swung his tail and barked something in a low voice, but finally muttered under Mo Tan's gaze: "Wang knows."

"Don't worry, if I can take care of you, I will definitely do so."

Jadeka patted Mo Tan's shoulder with a smile and said seriously: "If I can't take care of you, I will focus on Yaya and Ms. Peixi."

Mo Tan then nodded, and smiled at Ji Xiaoge, who was most worried that the two of them would act impulsively. They both breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked down at Wang Badan.

The latter immediately shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, big brother! I will never take care of you, but if I am in danger, you must remember to take care of me!"

"no need."

But Mo Tan shook his head and said seriously: "You stay."

"I don't... ah? What did you say, brother?"

"I said, you stay."

"I leave...noodles?"

"You stay up there."

"What the hell?!"
