A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"Okay, don't think about those bad things. I'll make you a plate of fried pancakes first. You need to be full even if you're going to go on the road." Old Chen smiled bitterly, put the greasy white hat on his head, rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. .

Lao Chen is also a wizard, but his rating is only 2E. He is a professional wizard. Like his apparent profession, his trait is that of a [chef].

Lao Chen is from Dongdai. According to himself, he used to be the master chef of Yanchun Restaurant in Jinmen and once cooked for Emperor Chongde. Unfortunately, the merchant government and the emperor later went to war, and the Yanchun Tower was bankrupted. Lao Chen lost his job, and was tricked into seeking a living in Phoenix.

Although he has reached this stage of decline, Lao Chen's cooking skills are still as good as before. A pair of iron pots and iron spoons can make delicacies from broken vegetable leaves.

Of course, this may also be caused by his [witchcraft]

The steaming fried pancakes were served shortly after, and it was obvious that the portion was much larger than usual. Levi picked up his chopsticks and started to use them, while Lao Chen sat down next to him, lit a cigarette and started chatting.

"Old Wang, he was too eager for quick success and quick gain, and that's why he was led to the wrong path. You said that this person who is unfamiliar with this place is planning on his own compatriots. How can this be done?"

People in Seris in Zoet Street had their own circles and knew each other, and Lao Wang was also a regular customer of the chop suey shop. Lao Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"If I had the strength like him, I would join the army! I can become a platoon leader in less than three years after starting out as a large soldier. If I make meritorious service in a battle, I can at least become a regiment leader!" Old Chen said angrily, " You don’t know, the soldiers are very powerful. When I was in Yanchun Tower, the soldiers didn’t give me money to eat; now that I’ve come to the United States, they still don’t give me money to eat!”

"Then why don't you become a cook? With your skills, you will definitely be robbed." Li Wei took a bite of the fried pancake and pointed it at Lao Chen with his chopsticks.

"Hey, I won't go. I have to cook for the 180th soldier in one day, and I will be exhausted within a day." Old Chen shook his head, "If you don't talk about these things, what are you going to do next?"

Once he is targeted by a gang, Levi is like a rabbit whose nest has been discovered. More wizards will visit frequently in the future. If Levi still wants to live a stable life in this area, there are only two ways to go.

1: Kill all the gang members.

2: Join a gang.

The former one is really unrealistic. Although Li Wei can kill Lao Wang instantly by surprise, he is not powerful enough to kill a wizard like he can chop melons and vegetables.

He is not willing to do the latter. Joining a gang is not free, it requires paying a lot of money, and it may even become a sacrifice for the promotion of the gang's upper echelons.

So Levi decided to run away.

"Run, I don't plan to stay in Bridgewick anymore. Maybe I can try my luck in the south." Levi took a chopstick and fried pancakes and said, "Old Chen, where is today's party? There must be no gang participation. "

Wizards will hold regular gatherings to trade all their props and materials, or entrust other wizards to handle things.

But after all, it is not convenient for wizards to knock on doors door-to-door to invite friends to the party, so their recognized contact person becomes the way for other wizards to know the location of the party.

As for Lao Chen, in addition to the owner of the chop suey shop and the former head of Yanchun House, his third identity is the contact person for the party.

Old Chen held his cigarette in his mouth and thought for a moment: "Okay, it seems we have to separate. Don't forget to write to me when we settle down."

"Six o'clock in the afternoon, 14 Quay Street, Hamptons Cafe, password is 'Five Bottles of Highland Wine'."

……

Levi left the chop shop and burped loudly.

A plate of fried pancakes cost Levi 5 Philippine cents. He did not tell the truth to the landlord. Now Levi still has 6 Philippine cents and 66 Philippine cents.

The Philippine dollar and the Philippine cent follow the centimetre system, and the purchasing power of one Philippine cent is roughly equivalent to a piece of bread without butter.

The money was obviously not enough for Levi to leave the city and settle down in a new place, so his first priority was to make money.

Levi decided to go to the construction site. He planned to bypass the foreman and go directly to the project manager of Powell Construction Company.

At this time, a city tram happened to arrive at the station. Levi thought for a moment and decided to be extravagant.

The three-cent coin jingled into the cash box. Levi found a seat in the empty carriage, sat on it and closed his eyes to relax.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had not yet seen the formula that Lao Wang dropped.

"Check the rooster blood."

An ethereal voice sounded.

【Searching...】

[Retrieve: raging rooster blood]

[Rating: 5D]

[Materials required: Alchemy matrix*1, red animal blood*1, flammable and explosive drugs*1]

[Explanation: A formula left by the spirit of the bear (beast type) wizard. This item can be taken orally or injected. It can stimulate the user's blood, enhance their physical fitness, strength and tolerance, and reduce the user's sanity. 】

"So that's the equivalent of going berserk." Levi thought to himself.

It seemed that this formula was not needed for the time being, so Li Wei thought about it and called up the formula illustration.

[Illustrated recipe: Alchemy matrix, spiritual salt, whisperer bone awl, cool cold water, numbing numbing agent, flaming rooster blood]

When Levi first traveled through time, the rating was still 2E. He encountered some people and monsters sporadically over the course of two years, and Levi killed them either by force or on his own initiative. The recipes collected are the testimony of these two years.

Levi put away the panel with emotion and turned to look out the window.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly.

On both sides of the asphalt road, locust trees are arranged neatly. Those lucky senior workers and even luckier white-collar workers were belatedly walking on their way to work.

In the distance, the trading center and the new securities building under construction stood silently. Outside them, there were more dark buildings and asphalt roads crisscrossing the buildings.

The sun also shines on them, creating patches of misty light, as if countless spotlights are aimlessly looking for countless protagonists.

In 1920, the United States of Phoenix was the real winner in the war known as the World War. In this roaring era, everyone, everyone who could do it again, tried to leave themselves in the concrete forest. Mark of.

But Levi must at least survive first.
