It's weird to apply for Witch Academy as a boy

During the time I was researching, I heard various noises coming from outside from time to time. The soundproofing of this hostel was very poor. I could hear the noises from the neighbors next door and even the neighbors next door. I could even hear the noises of men and women playing in bed, not to mention the noises outside.

Just in such a remote place, there can be so many secret-diggers fighting here, which shows how rampant these guys are. However, these are just the daily routine here. No wonder there are so few people on the streets even in the daytime, and there are so many homeless people and gangsters at night and even in the early morning. Are they taking turns here?

Obviously, those hooligans knew that those guys were not to be messed with, so they dared to go out at night. But can they really receive protection money at night? I doubt it. They can't rob homeless people on the street, right?

But the living conditions of people at the bottom of society will never have a lower limit, and it breaks my cognition every time I see it.

Just like in the underground city of Ninglan New City, those guys could still set up tents on the roadside, at least they had a home. The homeless in this world even slept on the street corners, and that was still good. Some of them could just wrap themselves in rags and find a sheltered corner on the street to spend the night.

Pushing open the door, I came to Qiu Ruxin again. I didn't know if she had woken up or not. After all, it was already noon, so I brought her some food and water.

When you are short of money, you will need some channels to get some money, but robbery is not a good idea and is inefficient, unless... you rob the rich, but then a large amount of money will be considered black money and difficult to handle.

I pushed all these thoughts aside and opened the door.

I saw Qiu Ruxin, who had already gotten up, looking at the door with a wary look on her face. After seeing me, her wary expression relaxed.

"Sister Xiaohan, it turns out to be you."

"Well, actually you don't need to be so defensive. I have engraved a spell on the door, so ordinary people can't open it."

"It's mainly just to be prepared for the worst..."

"Anyway, let's do this for now. How's it going? Did you rest well?"

"It's okay. At least I'm not exhausted." Qiu Ruxin said while stroking her head. It was obvious that she didn't rest very well. After all, if anyone went through such a change and just slept peacefully, who knew if they would die in the dream and never wake up again?

"Okay, so what are your plans today? I want to make some money to improve my life. Do you have any ideas?"

After all, only if you have money can you make a living in this world. With money you can go wherever you want. With money you can buy mobile phones and so on. You can also connect to networked device terminals. Only with money can you learn the language and writing of this world.

Now I realize the importance of money. Speaking of money, I still have a lot of arcanite and mithril. In theory, these precious metals should be able to be exchanged for money, but I don’t want to exchange such precious things for the money of this world. It’s not worth it.

It can be said that all we lack now is the initial accumulation of wealth as start-up capital. It is said that the initial accumulation of wealth is stained with blood and tears, and now it seems to be true.

"make money?"

"If it's all about following the routine way to make money, forget it..." I looked outside through the window. At this moment, I had removed the soundproofing spell on Qiu Ruxin's place, so the sound of fighting outside made me very curious.

"By the way, those secret diggers are so unscrupulous, aren't there any people to control them? Your so-called detective team or something, aren't you going to catch them?"

"We went to catch them, but... they were just pretending. The Lannas Island Detective Team is just a decoration. There hasn't been a war on Lannas Island for a long time. Neither the army nor the Detective Team has much actual combat experience. They even have very little salary. How can they fight with those guys?"

"Oh...bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's what it means."

"What if they offend the local rich people, break into their coffers, or rob luxury stores?" I continued to ask tentatively.

"Of course not. We can't do anything about it. But if those secret diggers really do this, then... they won't be facing the detective team, but the professional mercenaries hired by the wealthy internationally, or... their own private soldiers. These are not just for show by the detective team."

"Mercenaries? Private soldiers? Your world is really chaotic, but... can those secret diggers be suppressed by a fully armed army? Such strength does not seem to be strong..."

"It takes an entire formation to suppress a single enemy or a team of a few people, and there will be heavy casualties. So mercenaries and other means are just a deterrent. If a conflict really happens, it means that those explorers... secret diggers are absolutely sure that they can get the job done. So if a conflict really happens, they have to compromise. After all, the value of those goods is not as good as the compensation for casualties."

"That's really... hard to describe." I sighed. I have to say that this feels like a paradise for criminals. Rich people actually have private soldiers?

"Oh, by the way, in fact, most secret diggers have international wanted warrants and high bounties, but in most cases no one dares to provoke them for that little bounty."

"Wanted warrant and bounty? That's even more interesting!" After hearing Qiu Ruxin's addition, I suddenly felt more interested.

Suddenly, many plans that I had never dared to think of before popped up in my mind.

"By the way, do those secret diggers have any obvious identification? Aren't you afraid that someone will pretend to be the secret diggers and burn, kill, rob and buy things for free?" After all, I haven't seen those secret diggers in person, so naturally I don't know what they look like.

"This... should be unlikely. The methods of those secret diggers are very special. Those who want to imitate them can basically see through them at a glance."

"Special means? Can you tell me about it?"

"Um...you're not planning to imitate those secret diggers, are you?" Qiu Ruxin asked carefully.

"If you can think naturally, after all, if you want to change the status quo, you need the most primitive accumulation, and the acquisition of those start-up funds is often stained with blood and dirt."

"Okay, but can you be careful? I don't want to lose again..."

"Of course." I answered decisively.

But at the same time, when I heard Qiu Ruxin agree so decisively, a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes. I was still thinking about how to persuade her to be with me.

I didn't expect this person to be so decisive.

It seems that this girl who is not good at speaking but has rich thoughts in her heart is also an "ambitious person", but now she is unable to show the colorful inner world due to her weak strength.

In fact, when she mentioned the murder and did it herself, I should have realized that Qiu Ruxin was not an ordinary girl. She was stronger than I expected, and sometimes she would show the fragility of a girl, but she was very weak now.

But if she were brought into the Witch Academy, she might do better than most students!

I don’t know if the Witch Academy is still accepting students. After all, I am now capable of giving people a source of magic power!

I just don't know what the consequences will be after I stuff it into her. After all, she is the lucky child of this world. If she is assimilated into a witch, the will of this world... will it go crazy?

And I still can't confirm whether this world is the one that is about to merge with the main world. If it is, I think there should be nothing to worry about.

If not for... the fact that she was a seed of luck and was restricted by the shackles of the earth veins, she would never be able to reach the Witch Academy.

Even if it is possible, the cost would be very high, and I don't know how the academy will deal with such a witch candidate who can't come to school, so... for the sake of caution, it is better to do nothing.

Chapter 397 The Secret of the Digger

"Um... is it really okay for us to just come out?"

After I took Qiu Ruxin out of the hotel, Qiu Ruxin subconsciously shrank her neck and asked me.

"What? Has Lannas Island reached the point where you can't travel on the streets during the day?" I pushed my glasses, turned my head to look at Qiu Ruxin and asked with a smile.

"It's true that it hasn't happened yet, but there are occasional fights among secret diggers near us, which means that there may be more secret diggers in the area where we are right now, maybe in some alley, corner, rooftop, or even in the sewer..." At this point, Qiu Ruxin didn't even know how to continue, but her meaning was already made clear.

"So you are still afraid of sudden attacks, right? I have already put a layer of shield on you. Don't worry, the kinetic damage of ordinary firearms can no longer cause fatal injuries to you. I also have healing skills, so be brave." I encouraged her.

Although I can feel that Qiu Ruxin is quite courageous, that is based on her strength.

As long as she has the strength, she dares to kill people. As long as she has the strength, she dares to rob those rich people. This is not just a matter of words, but also a fact of daring to execute. Some people have the strength but still hesitate and dare not do it. This comparison shows that this is Qiu Ruxin's "excellent quality".

Yes, I was the one who hesitated, but now I think more clearly.

"These...spells are so convenient..." Hearing my comfort, Qiu Ruxin sighed at the right time, with a hint of yearning and desire in her tone.

I pretended not to hear it.

This time we came out naturally to do something big. The little money we earned from selling scrap is not enough for us to live comfortably in this world. After today, we don’t know if we can still spend the night in that hotel, not to mention that there is only about half a day left today.

We haven't even decided on a goal yet.

Qiu Ruxin doesn’t know much about this area, so I can only work hard on my own for the rest.

Originally, I was thinking of taking the remaining money to a place like an Internet cafe to learn about the nearby area distribution, or recent news, to see if I could find any breakthrough.

But a sudden explosion not far away attracted the attention of me and Qiu Ruxin.

"There's a change of plan. Let's go and see what those secret-diggers are like first." I turned my head and said to Qiu Ruxin.

After all, those guys in front of me are alive. I have never had the chance to see them, so of course I have to go and see them now.

"Eh? But..."

"It's okay. I'll change my appearance and interact with the other party later. You find a safe place to hide." I said quickly, and after changing my appearance, I went straight to the battlefield.

Seeing me leave so quickly, Qiu Ruxin subconsciously had a hint of panic in her eyes, but then she calmed down, looked around, and found a place to hide. After all, with her unlucky physique, wandering around would only be asking for trouble.

At this moment, I came directly to the battlefield. It was called a battlefield, but in fact it was just between the floors of the block. When I got closer, I could see their figures moving here.

Judging from the speed at which they leap, their physical fitness is indeed beyond the physical limits of ordinary people. And the exaggerated clothing and accessories that are incompatible with this world really show that these guys are different from ordinary people.

No wonder Qiu Ruxin said that the secret-digger is not easy to imitate. Just the outfit is not easy to get.

When I got closer, the other party seemed to be aware of my presence, and the three figures intertwined with each other all looked at me with a slightly fixed gaze.

"Hey! Friend! Help me! It's really shameless for two of them to beat me alone!"

Suddenly, the man who was trapped by two people shouted loudly, obviously addressing me.

"I don't understand. I don't understand at all." I said a few perfunctorily to the other party. Not only did I not understand what the other party was saying, the other party also didn't understand what I was saying.

But I can see that these three people are divided into two opposing sides, two of them are double-teaming another person. From the tone of the person being double-teamed, I can roughly feel that he is asking for help.

Then my natural choice would be... not to let go of any three!

At this moment, I also jumped up. My strong physical fitness was perfectly demonstrated at this moment. Combined with some means of gaining momentum in the air, I rushed directly in front of the two people.

"What the hell! What kind of skill is this? Double jump? Or triple jump?"

"Are you(TM) stupid! She's coming towards you! Get out of the way! Even if she's not a melee profession!" Another person at the side shouted hurriedly, and then, suddenly, several hot weapons appeared out of thin air behind him, and countless tongues of fire suddenly emerged from the deep muzzles towards me.

"Taste my suppressive firepower!"

At this moment, I was a little surprised to see the other party take out so many hot weapons at once. Is this the method of these secret diggers?

The next moment, countless bullets gushed out, each bullet dragging a long colorful trajectory like a tracer bullet. I felt that even if I didn't cast a protective spell, I could dodge it directly with my physique.

There is nothing we can do if we can't reach it even with the densest fire coverage.

"Damn! This guy is too fast! Be careful!" He frowned, and a pair of grenades appeared in his other hand. Then he bit it with his teeth, and the safety pin of the grenade was pulled out directly.

"Bah...eat my blasting grenade!" He spit out the pin and shouted, and two black shadows came towards me.

"It really is a grenade." I looked at the slightly familiar throwing object. Sure enough, the lethal weapons designed by professionals do have similar appearances to a certain extent.

But the next moment, when the two grenades were approaching me in the air, they suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, the two grenades made a crisp sound of hitting the ground at the feet of the throwers.

With the sound of clanging and banging, the man subconsciously looked down at his feet, his pupils shrank, and then two horrible explosions echoed in his area.

Boom—boom——!

Countless fragments and aftermath of the explosion sounded. I looked at the use of the instant teleportation spell just now. It turned out that this method is very suitable for dealing with those guys who underestimate the enemy.

Let him experience the feeling of being hit by his own grenade!

As expected, those explosions in the morning were caused by this guy. He was just taking it as revenge for disturbing my meditation in the morning.

Following the explosion, the other guy's companion made a sharp bang, probably calling that guy's name.

But as the smoke dispersed, the "shield" made up of hexagonal light blue modules completely wrapped the opponent's body, and the explosion just now did not seem to cause much damage to it.

"Damn it... I got tricked. This is my most precious one-time activation shield!"

The other party let out a sharp wail, as if he had lost something precious.

Seeing that his teammates were fine, the man reacted at this moment, but he was powerless to resist my sudden attack. A fierce punch pierced his abdomen, and the invisible shock wave broke the fabric on his back.

"That was a bit too heavy-handed." After taking care of this guy, I shook my fist and said calmly. But the good news is that he is not dead yet, the bad news is that he is probably not far from death.

Then I put a restraint and silencing spell on this guy who was curled up on the ground and unable to move.

Then, my eyes turned to the man holding the exaggerated gun.

At this moment, the other party seemed to quickly get rid of his sad situation. When he saw my eyes locked on him, he suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Just as he turned around, a black civet cat leaped into the air and headed towards the opponent's door.

"what--!"

Following a heart-wrenching scream, a falcon soaring in the sky swooped down, targeting the guy who was far away.

With two summoning spells, there shouldn't be any problems.

The guy who had yelled at me earlier swallowed his saliva subconsciously. At this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong. He turned around and prepared to run away. He had met a big boss!

This is no longer just asking for help. I'm afraid he's going to be swallowed up as well!

Just as the other party was about to run away, he turned around and saw my figure behind him.

"Ghost...ghost!"

"Exactly three." I ignored the other party's exclamation and directly controlled him with a silencing spell. His hoarse exclamation stopped abruptly at this moment, and he even thought that he had lost his voice due to jealousy and surprise.

But the next moment, an invisible force restrained his body, making him unable to move.

The reason why I can appear behind the person in front of me so quickly is naturally because of the teleportation spell. Although the teleportation spell consumes a lot of energy, it is convenient. As long as it is within the visual range, there is no need to mark the teleportation in advance. This is the best way to use the teleportation spell.

At this point, I clapped my hands a little, and considered the job done.

I remember Qiu Ruxin seemed to have said that these secret-diggers seemed to have... a bounty, but I don't know if she supports me to claim it, or if I can even claim it without knowing where.

But compared to these, I still hope to get some information from them so that I can understand the secrets of these secret seekers at a deeper level.
