The high price of three thousand gold coins is indeed unaffordable, but for adventurers, this price is not completely unobtainable.

If Pei Renli studied alchemy carefully, he could also make money by making magic items. The profit would be much higher than that of magic potions, and he would not be afraid of losing sales.

However, future matters should be considered in the future, and we will have to wait at least two years before facing them.

After packing up all the instruments and finished products, Pei Renli left the alchemy laboratory, which was used by no one except him, and walked towards the dormitory in the afterglow of the setting sun, thinking about the next spell to practice.

"Pei Renli!"

As soon as he arrived at the door of the dormitory area, someone called him.

Looking around, he saw a short figure running towards him.

——Alton the Halfling.

Halflings are only half the height of normal humans. Although they have short legs, they can leap quickly and rush to Pei Renli in a short time.

"I've just met you. I've been looking for you all afternoon."

"Looking for me? What's the matter?"

Alton looked around to make sure there was no one around. It felt like it was something that was not easy for others to know.

Could this guy want to peek into the girl's room...

No wonder Pei Renli thought so. Alton had done this before and was literally hung up and hammered...

"At the end of the last class in the afternoon, the teacher came to me and told me that the task assigned to me was coming. If the teacher hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten about it."

I haven’t seen him in recent times because Alton goes out with his classmates who are doing tasks every few days.

The Adventurer School now tries its best to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to go on mission internships once a month. This is mandatory. Even if you have gone on missions as a foreign aid for other students before, this opportunity will still be retained.

An adventurer team can be without a mage or a healer, but it cannot be without a scout, because an excellent scout can allow the team to avoid most unnecessary battles and dangers.

So Alton, who is very good at this aspect, is always being called away recently.

"So, are you free recently?"

"Looking for help from me? What task should you ask first? I don't have much free time recently."

The matter of availability is relatively flexible for Pei Renli.

He usually spends all his free time to make a fuss, wishing that one minute could be used as two minutes. For this purpose, he also made a detailed timetable and strictly followed the plan.

As the rarest spell caster, many students did come to Pei Renli for help in the past ten days, but he refused them all.

Because most of the missions are like going to the dam to have a look, there is no benefit in actual combat experience. It is better to stay in school and train with Kaya every day.

But if you don’t have time...

Anyway, let’s first listen to what Alton has to say.

He came closer and motioned for Pei Renli to bow his head:

"There's something about the school's underground mission, are you interested?"

"Tell me in detail!"

Pei Renli, who originally planned to refuse, immediately became energetic.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Today's Adventurer School was once the frontline against the tyrannical Demon King. Under the school, a large number of research institutes were established in various countries to develop magic items or spells against the tyrannical Demon King.

There are a lot of reliable and unreliable things, and there are even some things that are illegal and cannot be seen in the light...

It can be seen how far the violent demon king pushed the entire plane back then.

However, because the Demon King disappeared too quickly, governments of various countries retreated hastily for various reasons, and a large amount of research materials and even finished products were left underground in the school.

This is tantamount to a treasure.

Similar to Russia, where scientific research relies on archeology, although some technologies are not perfect and unreliable, the technology itself is very useful.

The school will come forward to negotiate with the original owner and find something useful that can be exchanged for a large amount of money to alleviate the school's lack of funds. Moreover, students can also receive bonuses, which is a very profitable task.

No wonder Alton had to whisper it. If others knew about it, they might swarm him together.

However, this kind of mission is not just a benefit, it has a certain degree of danger and it is not low.

There are a large number of secret research institutes built under the school because they belong to different countries or organizations. There is no map of the entire underground structure. How deep and how big it is has become an unsolved mystery due to unscrupulous expansion.

Moreover, some research is not suitable for exposure. There are a lot of traps and anti-theft facilities in the research institute. If you go in rashly and get out with a whole corpse, you will be lucky.

Therefore, all students assigned to the task of exploring the underground are very skilled.

In addition to keeping it for the school to raise some funds, the underground research institute is also a pretty good training ground.

It is not unusual for adventurers to enter ancient ruins in search of wealth. Compared with being blinded by real encounters after graduation, the opportunity to actually experience a similar environment in school is very precious.

Of course, what attracts Pei Renli most is that he can make a lot of money from this.

The next day, Pei Renli came to the agreed place and waited in full force.

Including him, there were a total of four people entering the underground this time. When everyone was gathered, they set off for the entrance.

The entrance looks like a large bunker, and the door has no key and requires a password to open.

Alton handed the certificate issued by the teacher to the school janitor who was guarding the gate. After confirming that it was correct, Alton entered the password. The half-inch-thick enchanted door with a pure steel structure slowly lifted upwards, revealing an open and wide passage behind it that looked like a tunnel through a mountain.

.

The magic lights on the left and right sides always maintain a bright light, and it is not dim when entering the underground. If you look down, you can see that the tunnel is sloping downward.

Since Pei Renli and the others are newcomers who have just entered the school, the teacher has specially instructed that they can only go deep into the fifth floor at most after entering the underground. They are not allowed to go deeper because the further they go down, the higher the risk. With their ability

Unable to cope.

After everyone entered, the door was immediately closed again, and the four people walked down the stairs step by step.

After waiting for about twenty meters, we came to the flat ground. There was still a wide corridor extending into the distance. The difference was that we could see many intersections on the left and right sides, and occasionally we could see one posted on the wall.

of road signs.

"The floors near the ground have been raided a long time ago. Let's continue going down quickly."

Alton is right. The first floor has completely lost its value for exploration. The students who came here in the past wanted to take away all the floor tiles. There is nothing valuable anymore.

After saying that, he looked back at Pei Renli and said a little surprised:

"Is that a staff in your hand?"

A mage who doesn't have a staff always feels like there's something missing, even the dried tofu that can cut people very hard has one.

Pei Renli had his dagger broken, and now only the long half of the dagger was hanging on his waist. Although there are many mages in this world who go out empty-handed, it doesn't feel very safe without a weapon.

Pei Renli originally planned to buy a better dagger to use when he went to Muxing City again, but because of Alton's mission, he had to suspend his plan and found a wooden stick to use as a weapon.

If you look closely, you will find that one end of his stick is even a little dirty.

Because this is the mop rod with the cloth strips removed...

The staff is a magic item, extremely expensive, and it is definitely not a price that Pei Renli can afford.

If you are poor and have no choice, just be patient.

But if you lose, you won’t lose. You can’t just say:

"It's a staff, yes, but you can also think of it as a stick."

“…..”

Alton has begun to doubt Perrenli's professionalism...

He was called here because the underground was originally full of magic research institutes, and not many people knew about magic. Whether it was valuable trophies or magic traps, it was best to leave it to professionals who would be more reliable.

"Hey, look at the teams that the teacher assigned. They are all men. Pei Renli, you are lucky. Both times you went on missions, you were accompanied by beautiful girls."

Gary, who walked at the front and raised his shield, was really envious. As the saying goes, men and women can work together without getting tired. The teacher obviously did not consider this when assigning tasks.

He is still dressed like a tin can, and his inability to use weapons has not changed. He only has a shield in his hand.

Alton also agrees:

"I asked Eve, but she didn't agree."

So I came to see Pei Renli, the only mage.

"Indeed, it would be more pleasant to have a woman around, but I can't quite accept your human aesthetics."

This time it was a dwarf who spoke.

His name is Fondar, the priest of the dwarf patron saint Moradin. He is dressed quite similar to Gary. He is covered in thick chain armor, but he has a mace and a shield engraved with the holy symbol.

Including Pei Renli, this team is a standard iron triangle of war, animal husbandry and scouts. Except for the fact that there are no girls, it is already perfect.

Vondar scratched his specially shaved bald head:

"All of you human women are too thin and unattractive."

Of course, the aesthetics of different races also differ.

For dwarves, the bigger and more gorgeous a man's beard is, the more handsome he is, while the stronger, more powerful and sexy a woman is, and of course her height must also meet their standards.

Dwarves are taller than halflings, ranging from 1.2 to 1.5 meters tall. So in their opinion, human beauties are too thin, about the same as bamboo poles.

"A woman should be strong, like my mother, who could drag a bison home with one hand. That's what she calls a real beauty."

"I think it's a bit scary. A cheerful, lively and petite type would be better."

The aesthetics of halflings are similar to humans, except that they also like people who are about the same height as themselves. Humans are still too tall.

Although they are of different races, they are all men. It is perfectly normal for a group of men to get together and talk about women.

So the topic quickly changed from a debate on aesthetics to an evaluation of which female classmate was more beautiful.

By the way, even in this small talk, no one mentioned Kaya.

I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad, this girl is indeed famous...

While walking and chatting, it wasn't that they were careless, but that the passage in the beginning only had one feature, and there was no risk.

But when they reached a gate, everyone shut up and quickly entered a state of adventure.
