After arriving at that scary place, Lin Feng stopped at a distance, took out the mask that was cleaned every day and put it on.

The factory chimneys in front of us were like a forest, and the thick smoke emitted covered the sky. The scene was shocking and intimidating. The scattered passers-by inside all wore thick masks and walked in a hurry with their heads lowered.

It’s hard to believe that this kind of place is called the heart of the city.

Because this piece of pollution that looks terrible will actually be absorbed by the magic corridor in the sky, and then converted into magic energy and fed back to the magic tower. In other words, this is one of the energy sources that provides the city's magic energy barrier. If one day

The shutdown of the workshop will cause the people in the shelter to panic.

Ordinary people working in this environment rely on medication to maintain their health. They take medication once a month and have their bodies checked once a year to ensure that the circulatory system does not malfunction.

The city is always in balance, and any problem with any function will cause a malfunction.

In the memory of the original owner, there was a major accident where the magic corridor malfunctioned.

On that day, not only did the magic energy barrier suddenly disappear, but the power of the entire city also stopped operating. All the light went out. In the darkness where you couldn't even see your fingers, there were panic screams and screams everywhere.

Knowing how many monsters came in to kill, the professionals suffered heavy casualties, and even civilians like them who took refuge in underground air raid shelters were unable to breathe oxygen because the Elf Zone was severely damaged.

That day was an unforgettable moment of grief for Shelter No. 3. Afterwards, the incinerator burned for a full month before it was extinguished.

The aftermath of those days had an unparalleled impact on the original owner's young mind.

Thinking about the cause of the accident, Lin Feng couldn't help but raise his head and look at the haze in the sky, and then followed his memory to the alchemy workshop where he worked.

The door was open, and several workers stood on a high platform and poured magic powder into the funnel, and then waited for the behemoth-like machine to spit out the 'magic synthetic bread' on the conveyor belt.

The taste of this kind of food depends entirely on the source of the magic powder. If it is provided by a refinery, the bread will definitely have an unpalatable metallic taste. On the contrary, if it is provided by an herbal bakery, it will have a metallic taste when eaten.

The light herbal fragrance is very popular.

"Today's order is magic bread..."

Lin Feng stood at the door and watched for a while, and then saw his alchemy mentor, Klin, in the transportation area.

He was once a high-level alchemist. In a serious accident, he permanently lost his mouth and nose. At the same time, his right hand was also twisted into an amphibian toe palm with only three fingers. Due to missing the optimal

The treatment time caused the injuries all over his body to permanently solidify. Unable to continue on the road of alchemy, he gave up his dream and used his remaining savings to open this small workshop. In addition to supporting his family, he continued to train apprentices for the Alchemy Association.

Lin Feng walked in quickly, helped hold down the retreating trailer board and said softly: "Teacher, I'm back."

The man with a large piece of skin missing from his neck and half of his face covered with metal pieces, who looked like a cyborg, turned around, stared at him quietly for a moment, then raised his hand to press the communication crystal on his throat.

An emotionless synthesized voice sounded from the crystal, "It seems you succeeded."

Lin Feng lowered his head and said, "It's all because you taught me well, my mentor."

Klin smiled, stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead, "Stop flattering and come with me."

Although his voice was cold, the instructor's eyes and body movements were filled with a warm smile.

It's strange that the original owner had a very stiff relationship with his sister at home, but he got along very harmoniously with others outside.

Lin Feng covered his forehead and followed him into the office.

The instructor rummaged through the cabinet, took out a purple crystal, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

That is an amethyst coin, which is approximately equal to 100 ordinary crystal coins. Above that is the most valuable magic crystal. These things are both currency and the starting energy for various facilities.

"Take it, you deserve it."

"Ah this?" Lin Feng, who had received several months' salary at once, was a little worried.

"This is your graduation reward. Some instructors will give you formulas, but you have already learned everything I can teach you, so I'll just give you some money. Although it's not a lot, it's enough to buy you a delicious meal to celebrate.

.”

It turns out there is still such a custom.

Lin Feng, who was in urgent need of money, was immediately overjoyed, "Then I'm welcome, thank you, tutor!"

Klin, who was sitting on the chair, looked at him funny.

"What are your plans next? Do you have any ideas about joining a guild? I know a few old friends who belong to pretty good guilds."

"Well...this...I'm still thinking about it."

Lin Feng, who didn't expect that the instructor would also pull people, answered a little hesitantly.

Seeing him like this, Klin immediately understood what his apprentice was thinking, but it was not difficult to understand. After all, he himself was severely beaten by society when he just graduated before he became honest.

"Hey, you're a brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

"I'll give you these too, so you don't waste money."

The instructor got up and went to the utility room to search for a long time before carrying a cardboard box out. Inside was a set of dusty alchemy tools, a small crucible, a few slightly bumpy beakers and test tubes, a copper rod, and

A small still that I don't know if it can be used.

These things are very expensive. Even if they are second-hand, his unheated amethyst coin can't even buy a copper rod, let alone the magic alembic.

Lin Feng expressed gratitude again: "Thank you, mentor!"

Klin shook his head helplessly, "If you really can't survive, remember to come back to me."

After saying goodbye to his mentor, Lin Feng happily left the workshop holding the alchemy tools he bought for free.

Standing on the street outside, he took off his somewhat blackened mask and took a deep breath of fresh air from the Elf District.

Things went very smoothly, and the heaviest shackles on his body were lifted, and he no longer had to work here anymore.

With the yearning for a free life, he paid another crystal coin and came to the trading area.

At this point, all the money he brought from home was completely spent.

Originally, in my sister's budget, excluding the round-trip fare, there was still one yuan left for him to buy lunch.

The time now happened to be noon, and there were food stalls on the streets on both sides. Lin Feng walked up and took a look.

It's very expensive. Food ingredients in this world are really very expensive, especially those agricultural products that can only be produced in farms outside the city. The prices are all staggeringly high. His newly heated amethyst coin is just as the instructor said.

In that case, you can only eat one meal.

"Forget it, let's not celebrate anymore."
