Universal Mechanic

Meanwhile, Charlotte's perspective

Charlotte, who dodged the boar's impact, jumped onto a tree branch and hid.

Charlotte: No, these animals will attack me as soon as I get close to the cliff.

It seems that I don’t want you to get close, but there must be treasures in such a defensive place!

Charlotte: But if possible, I don’t want to kill these animals. After all, the meat would be a waste if we don’t eat it.

Yes, so what to do now? This cliff is not easy to climb, and there will be animals interfering with it, even you can't get up.

Charlotte: So let’s take a little detour. After all, no matter how strict the security is, there will always be small loopholes.

With that Charlotte started moving up the tree trying to find a place to climb up.

after an hour

Charlotte sat on a tree branch, drawing a map in a small notebook.

Charlotte: Judging from current observations, we started from this location and walked almost halfway up the mountain. It seems that there is no suitable place to climb up.

We walked for about an hour. If we had gone the other way, we would have suffered in vain.

Charlotte: But at least we can replenish our physical strength. These fruits are basically edible, so it’s not impossible to use them as data collection. After all, I don’t have much interest in this game.

Let's be more serious, right? After all, someone is targeting you.

Charlotte: Why am I still looking for death when I've deliberately avoided the crowd? Obviously I heard that there are elves in this world.

Probably less? It's not the first time you encounter it and you just kill it, right?

Charlotte said as she put away her notebook and pen: "Can you?"

As long as you don't shoot wrong, you'll get one shot!

Charlotte: Come on then!

After speaking, Charlotte took off the badge on her chest, jumped into the air, drew the string of the long bow that the badge had turned into, and hit the enemy in the distance with a headshot, killing him instantly!

Charlotte: Wow, that's good damage.

After all, after eating a high-level elf stone, the attributes were improved.

Charlotte: Find Zhu Rongnian later and ask him to help you upgrade it. Then the power should be able to become stronger.

Then I'm really looking forward to it!

As she spoke, Charlotte drew the bowstring again and shot energy arrows into the woods.

Charlotte: One, two, three...yeah, settled!

After saying that, Charlotte landed smoothly on the branch.

And just when Charlotte was about to jump off the branch to pick up the equipment, one of the spell cards in her bag was suddenly ignited.

Charlotte blinked and took out the spell card and said: Huh? Is something wrong with Asta?

Asta: I have a little trouble here. What should I say? I accidentally slipped my hand and sprayed a big python with holy fire and let it run away. Although it shouldn't cause a forest fire, you should be careful.

Charlotte: Can't you find a stronghold?

Asta: Am I looking for a base? Otherwise, why would I let the holy fire burn that big python? Of course it was the big python that attacked me first and then I took action.

Charlotte: ...I'm robbing someone else's nest with you!

Asta: I didn't plan to rob it at first, but since the snake is causing trouble for me, I can't blame it.

Charlotte: Yes, but why are you asking me for this?

Asta: Of course it’s not for such a trivial matter, but it’s hard to explain in a few words. Anyway, I found some information here. If you’re okay over there, come to me first.

Charlotte: I can only say that the boss bless me, right? I just encountered a situation here.

As she spoke, Charlotte looked towards the thick fog that made her stop. Even light could not penetrate it. Charlotte instinctively resisted or was wary of this thick fog.

Charlotte: I took some photos and drew a map. I will explain the situation in detail when we meet up later.

Asta: I also drew a simple map here. Our scale is the same, so we should be able to put together a rough map. Then I am ready to send out the signal.

Charlotte: OK.

As she spoke, Charlotte gently plucked the bowstring, then closed her eyes, raised her ears, and listened carefully to the sounds that could only be detected at special frequencies. The resonance caused by the fluctuations of the plucked bowstring locked onto Asta's body. Location.

Charlotte: It’s quite far.

No matter how many times I have seen your ability, it is still too much of a cheat, so no one can eavesdrop at all.

Charlotte: How can it be so convenient? Although the frequency is the same, even I can't hear it if it is too far away. In fact, there are not many occasions where it can be used. After all, it will be interfered by other sounds. This time You can do this because it's fairly quiet here. If the effective range in the city doesn't exceed ten kilometers, right?

That’s pretty awesome too.

Charlotte: ...But remembering this frequency was terrible enough at first.

As she spoke, Charlotte started running in the direction of Asta.

At the same time, Asta's perspective

Asta lifted a stone and placed it at the entrance of the cave and began to build a gate.

Asta took out a few spell cards and pasted them on the pile of stones for reinforcement, then tied the branches together to make a door panel and installed it before saying.

Asta: Okay, that should be enough.

Fen: Are you really planning to stay here?

Asta took out two pocket watches and said: After all, time flows at different speeds. One hour and fifteen minutes have passed here, but only twenty-five minutes have passed outside.

Fin: Three times the time difference? But what's going on with your pocket watch? Why is it synchronized with the outside time?

Asta put away the two pocket watches and said: Strictly speaking, this is not a pocket watch but a pocket watch-shaped timer. This was designed by the captain to confirm the current time of the planet he lives in other places. , the one I have is a slave phone and the master phone is placed at his home, so it is not affected.

Fin: Wait, this doesn't make sense? We are in a small independent world or a different space. How do you connect to the mother machine?

Asta: Because there is an Internet connection. How can we synchronize without an Internet connection?

Fen: You...are not really carrying a base station, are you?

Asta rolled his eyes and said: How is that possible? It was just a joke made by the captain. He would not do such an inefficient thing. Please carefully sense the dagger in the scabbard on my belt.

Fen: What? ...Wait a minute, your dagger is stuck in the space door!

Asta: Yes, this method is simple and crude but effective. Luo Yuan and I discussed it for about an hour before deciding to do this.

Fin: Wait, since there is an Internet, why do you still need to use spell cards to connect? Have nothing to do?

Asta: No, it’s simply because the Internet is not good and there is a high probability that the call will be disconnected. Also, don’t you think it’s awkward to make a call in a place like this?

Fen: I don’t know if it would be awkward to make a phone call in a place like this, but I’m sure if you don’t control your mouth when chatting with me, others will definitely think you are crazy.

Asta: ...I'd better prepare to light a fire first.
