A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 1 1 A fellow villager meets a fellow villager

Since that war, the United States of Phoenix seemed to have been pressed on the accelerator button. Everything was changing with each passing day. Even the Seris people, who were once a rare species on this continent, came over.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the sun submerged the concrete buildings in the distance.

Newly passed regulations in New Cale require companies to provide adequate lighting when construction workers work at night. Electric lights, a monster that humans have just tamed, are obviously more expensive than workers' wages, so the bosses reluctantly announced that workers' wages would be reduced. Closing time has been advanced to 6 p.m.

At this time, there were only a few workers on the construction site of Powell Construction Company, completing the final work of the day.

Safety officer Li Wei held up his safety helmet. His task was to ensure that the steel bars and copper wires on the construction site were not stolen, and he also pretended to supervise whether the workers were operating correctly.

Beside him, Lao Wang carried a bag of gypsum powder from the carriage, arched his body and dropped it to the ground.

Both of them are from Seris, and now they are living in a foreign country, so they can be considered as fellow villagers.

Lao Wang took a deep breath from the cheap cigarette, turned to Levi and said, "I haven't asked you yet, what did you do before? You are quite young and know a lot. Are you a student?"

"I went to college, but I came here just three years ago and didn't graduate." Levi replied.

"That's such a pity, college students... If you get a diploma, you will be one step ahead of us even if you move bricks here." Lao Wang lamented, "What university did you go to?"

"Huazhong University of Science and Technology."

"Huazhong University of Science and Technology?" Lao Wang thought for a while and asked doubtfully, "Never heard of it?"

"I've never heard of it. He's from Pheasant University and has no reputation." Li Wei said sarcastically.

"Well..." Lao Wang felt a little relieved, "If you don't go to college, how did you come to the United States? Your family is short of money, or did you run away from home out of anger?"

"No." Levi couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't want to come here. Strictly speaking, I was kidnapped. I was eating hot pot and singing songs in the dormitory. As soon as I closed and opened my eyes, I appeared here. This damn place."

Lao Wang was startled: "Is there something so evil?"

Yes, Levi is actually a time traveler.

It’s just that he didn’t get hit by a car and didn’t die suddenly, didn’t play games all night, or fall off a cliff. He always maintained a good and healthy routine. He just lightly touched a blood-red stone placed on the table by his roommate in the dormitory. I came to this world in the blink of an eye.

Levi didn't comment, just raised his head and said with emotion: "Thinking about it now, those days seem like a lifetime ago."

Both men fell silent.

The light gradually dimmed, and the buildings in the distance stood in the sky, like a lonely forest at dusk.

Lao Wang continued to unload the goods. He exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a wry smile: "Yeah, just like in the previous life, everything seems to be changing now. Everything, everything is different. Those who adapt will survive, and those who don't adapt will survive." No one knows where everyone has gone."

"Stop being the Riddler, Lao Wang." Levi sighed, "If you have anything to do, just do it quickly. I'm still waiting to grab the 5-cent set meal from the corner chop suey shop."

Lao Wang's whole body suddenly stiffened, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You unloaded a bag of 100 kilograms of gypsum powder for an hour. During this time, you smoked and chatted with me. You can't even take a breath. You said you are not a [wizard] and you don't even believe it." Levi pointed to the ground. The gypsum powder shook his head and said.

"You have been following me for the past two days. It is self-evident what will happen if a wizard finds another wizard."

Lao Wang listened quietly. He was silent for a while, then he finished the cigarette in one gulp and threw it to the ground. He smiled bitterly at first, and then his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Okay, I admit it." Lao Wang straightened up and looked at Levi.

"I'm here to kill you. Originally, I planned to wait until I get off work and break your neck while you're not paying attention, but it seems that's not possible now."

Levi looked directly into his eyes: "Is it necessary?"

"As long as I absorb one more wizard, my rating can be raised to 4D, which is the minimum standard for joining a gang."

"The gang members told me that you are the weakest wizard in this neighborhood."

Lao Wang gradually showed his aggression, and the muscles on his body bulged, tightening his work clothes.

"I told you, everything is changing."

"I'm a stowaway, and I can't get a more decent job normally. But I didn't come to Phoenix just to be a bricklayer for the rest of my life! And now, the opportunity is right in front of me!"

Levi had no special expression.

"Are you of the beast type? Judging from your performance, your characteristics should be those of a 'bear' type of creature."

"Come on. Be quiet and don't damage the scaffolding. There are still people on it."

Wizards are divided into [Beast type], [Professional type] and [Delusion type], among which beasts are the most powerful in frontal combat.

Lao Wang gritted his teeth. The information provided by the gang showed that Levi was a delusional wizard who was not good at fighting. Although he knew very well that Levi could not escape from his murderous hands, he did not expect that the other party would accept his fate so easily.

sorry!

Lao Wang rushed over like a jeep. He gathered strength with both hands and planned to slam forward and use a double-peak move to kill Levi in ​​an instant. This was the fastest and safest way.

But what he didn't know was that a voice was ringing in Levi's head at this time.

"Use a paralyzing agent."

【Searching...】

[Retrieve: Susu numbing numbing agent]

[Searching for available materials...]

[Space materials retrieved: Alchemical matrix*1, lead-acid battery*1]

[Can be obtained from the environment: Mercury]

[Is it refined? 】

"confirm."

【Refined】

In the flash of lightning, Levi felt his body become empty, and then something appeared on his right hand as if it had been drawn.

It was a somewhat rough glass bottle, filled with a light blue liquid, faintly glowing with an unsettling small electric current.

The next moment, Lao Wang rushed towards him and was hit head-on by the bottle of liquid. The glass shattered and the light blue liquid splashed on his face. Lao Wang only felt a chill in his body.

When he realized what had happened, he had already fallen to the ground. The muscles that he was proud of had completely lost their strength at this time, and only a soreness and numbness came over him, choking his heart together with chills and fear.

[Space materials consumed: Alchemy matrix*1, lead-acid battery*1]

[Obtained from the environment: Mercury]

【Current space: 7/9】

Levi ignored the voice in his heart. The moment he came to this world, he awakened his special qualities and became a wizard. Accompanying it is this "system"-like sound.

He walked calmly to the fallen Old Wang, and a sharp bone awl with a strange shape and patterns slipped out of his cuff.

"witchcraft……"

Lao Wang tried desperately to speak in fear, but immediately found that he could no longer speak.

"When you decide to kill me, you should be prepared for such a result." Levi looked down at him and said.

"The fact that you can kill me calmly means that you can also kill others calmly. You may even have killed many wizards."

"Maybe if I let you go, you will change your ways and leave the world of wizards to live an ordinary life. But I'm sorry, I don't dare to bet on such a future."

"So, like I said, it's obvious what happens when a wizard comes to another wizard."

"One of them must die."

After speaking, Li Wei calmly pierced the bone awl into the back of Lao Wang's neck.
