Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 344 343. Some professionals are indeed professional enough (rd update)

I have to state here that Cypher actually doesn't like this kind of outlaw-level behavior, but considering the company's generous damage to the city and its own assets, he doesn't care.

So after the initial shock, he looked at the person who came with everyone else.

The other person had rather wild long brown hair, was not tall, and looked like a freshman in high school. He was wearing a dark red shirt and hot pants, which fully showed off his healthy and white legs.

The hem of the shirt can be seen through the trouser legs of the hot pants. What a weird outfit.

He wore a clean white coat on the outside, and because it was just draped over his shoulders, the sleeves were hanging outside and even his hands could not be seen.

It makes people want to tie her sleeves into a knot when she is not paying attention.

"Huh? Why are you all silent? Are you frightened by my grand plan? That's right, after all, ordinary people can't understand this great vision!"

Sever paused and asked calmly, "Your vision is to destroy the road infrastructure in a man-made city to dig hot spring wells?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible? Digging the hot springs is just a rehearsal. Once I fully master this city's underground water system, I'm going to go to the desert and become a well digger!"

She patted her chest and said, "In the future, all those remote places in the desert will surely have freshwater wells like the ones I built... Of course, it would be even better if they were hot springs."

The above vision sounds unreliable, but she has been working tirelessly on this for so long since she left the academy. To be honest, one can't help but applaud her.

There are really few people these days who have clear goals and know what they want to do in the future, especially in this college town.

"I understand your vision. So, let's go back to the beginning. Why did you try to seize the train? Why not just set up a department and apply to your college?"

"Ha! How could the school possibly agree to something like this? Besides, the approval process is so lengthy. By the time they finally finalize it, I bet the groundwater system will be dry."

She strode in, her waterproof, non-slip boots with fixed buckles clacking against the ground. "So the present is very important—no need to say more, this is how I survive!"

You survive by digging holes in the ground. Were you a groundhog or a hamster in your previous life?

Fortunately, apart from this declaration, she behaved quite normally in other aspects. After Seifer introduced himself, she nodded with satisfaction and said that the image was similar to what she expected.

"Teacher, how can you be so friendly? But you're too old-fashioned and won't understand my vision. This is good, so when do we leave?"

Cypher crossed his arms. "Before that, where did you get the confidence to think I would accept your commission?"

"Uh uh uh... That's not a problem! How about this, if you promise to help me, I'll tell you a secret that many people in this academy city don't know!"

Cypher liked secrets very much, especially those in Node City, because it could be related to the work he was going to do, so he just nodded slightly.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the independent mercenary Red Crossbow. My position as a teacher is only temporary... So, if the secrets you give me aren't significant enough, I'll have to pay you more to help me rob the train."

"He actually offered more money instead of refusing!" She was obviously surprised. After all, it was the first time she saw a living mercenary.

She blinked, her tone full of interest: "I have some savings, do you think that...2500 is enough?"

Sending beggars away.

Seifer gestured for her to sit down, nodding slowly under the gazes of the others. "Put the money aside for now. Which train are you trying to grab? I need to confirm the flight." "Oh... oh, right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I can't tell you which academy I'm in right now. I want to be a professional well digger, codenamed 'Xiaomi'!"

Seifer suddenly turned to look at Xiaotao. She was whistling a muted whistle and looking to the side, a guilty conscience evident. So, she was the one who came up with this code name?
Can a code name that sounds like a nickname really be successfully registered?

Seifer subconsciously glanced at the mercenary support system and took a quick look at the mercenary roster, finding that even things like 'headphones' and 'cow dung' could be registered.

Okay, sure.

Xiaoxia paused briefly, glancing at the group, as if to confirm whether this information could be leaked to others. After Cypher nodded, she cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, after all, I've been digging for hot springs everywhere, so I'm knowledgeable."

"So sometimes I would dig in areas close to the wall, and some of the holes that went through the wall were actually dug by me!"

Then you should be put in solitary confinement, but being able to escape by digging through the wall with a spoon does have its merits.

Seeing that Cypher didn't react, Xiaoxia grinned and said, "But digging holes every day does pay off. Last time I collapsed a tunnel, I found out that it was an unplanned road leading to the outside world."

"I led the club members through the passage and discovered that this road led to a satellite town that no students could pass through. That satellite town was quite interesting, full of employees from that entertainment company."

"They were also surprised when they saw us, but they also took us on a tour of the Node City. To be honest, it was quite nice, with lots of stages and props."

Entertainment company...If you think about it carefully, the academy city is indeed a place that absorbs fresh blood.

The students here live a free life and can show their own personality and abilities. Perhaps some of them are born to attract others' favor.

Such talents are indeed suitable for development in the entertainment field, rather than going to companies or working on computers as corporate mercenaries.

"This kind of secret..." Sefer touched his chin, feeling that it was not enough. Besides, the information about this satellite city could actually be found in the records, and its purpose was clearly stated when it was registered.

"Listen to me! Although the entertainment company is covering it up well, I don't think stage props and manufacturing require deep wells in a satellite city... Ah, they are indeed covering it up well, but I have something valuable in my hands."

Xiaoxia waved her hand, pointing at Xiang, who was yawning and dozing off with his earphones covering his ears. "The geological sound detector she made for me found a heat source and a huge cavity underground there!"

The people in this world are also groundhogs, perhaps they are the descendants of groundhogs.

However, the entertainment company built a satellite city for logistics on the surface, but it did not allow any independent mercenaries or other companies to trade or move normally.

They are even digging holes underground. It is obvious that there are no minerals underground. If they continue digging, there will only be lava that has just poured in... It's quite interesting, at least more interesting than in the academy.

"Hmm... so what do I need to prepare? Let me see your train hijacking plan so we can discuss it. Then I'll have the technical department prepare some magical props for you."

"So you agree? Okay, okay, I'll introduce you to the elite team I hired later. I have a map here, let's study it together!"

With excitement in her tone, Xiaoxia spread out the map - everyone gathered around and saw that the map was covered with red circles and marking lines.

Even in the walled area, each block is marked with a special mark in a different color to record the soil quality, defense strength, terrain complexity, etc.
