Infrastructure starts from the game

Question: What would the childhood of a traveler with past life memories be like?

You can be cute just after weaning, and you can conquer the hearts of your ancestors with just a sweet smile, and then become the favorite of the whole family, as well as the brother who protects the younger brother and the crazy devil, one, two, three, four, five, and everyone loves flowers when they go out Open, it seems to have become the center of the world?

Or is he able to speak at birth, able to write poems at the age of three, to write at the age of five, to have invented a major invention that can change the world at the age of seven, and to have the appearance of an emperor at a young age, which seems to be able to achieve great things through the ages?

Angor: Bah!

Anyway, it's impossible to be cute, so it's better to die than to be cute.

There is no domineering spirit, let’s not say that programmers have been selected as "the most useless profession after time travel", Angel has no golden fingers, and the most annoying thing is that adults don’t listen to them at all (they think) Children speak!

Don’t listen to those who don’t make sense, and don’t listen to those who make sense. If you directly help them improve their efficiency, it’s okay if they don’t succeed.

But on the other hand, they are also very tolerant of children.

They will ignore almost anything a child does as long as it doesn't bother them.

Especially in the era when there was no compulsory education, children from commoner families were almost wild.

Although Angel can be regarded as the young master of the workshop family, because the Cecilia family has always practiced civilian education, Angel has not been subject to much control. Instead, there is a whole warehouse of the workshop as the backing. He has experience as an adult, knows how to avoid the adult's thunder, and easily gains the respect of his peers (on the surface).

Angel went completely crazy.

Today he blew up the sewer, tomorrow he captured blood elves, and the day after tomorrow he brought a whole street of children to occupy the evil spirit's old house that lost its master, and even established his own base.

The worst time was when Angor tried to observe the demonic pollution effect of the abyss. After using stones, branches, mice, human blood and hair, and blood elf blood and hair, he still felt that it was not enough. , shaved off a large piece of hair on its back, was so angry that Mithril turned into a prototype, and gave him a hard paw.

It was also at that time that Angel realized that he had gone too far. After introspection, he decided to go to the Mage Tower to receive orthodox magic education.

Mithril also forgave Angel... no wonder!

It's just that Mithril is the ancestral pet of the alchemy workshop, and there are hundreds of owners. If you want to remember the owner's children, relatives, friends, and enemies, then it is the one who has changed. If it turns into a black mist, the small head will explode, so Mithril is usually recalled based on the genealogy of the owner, such as this kind of bear child like Angor who has no good memories and cannot be killed without inheriting the workshop. Naturally, it was left aside, who would have thought that after more than 100 years, Angel came back to inherit the alchemy workshop? !

And it still looks like two different people!

So much so that Mithril didn't connect him with the bear kid.

The mithril fried hair was blown even harder, and it felt that its feelings had been cheated.

Angel reached out to touch the black ball, but was avoided.

"It's because I know how scary unruly children are, so I'm afraid of children!" Angor argued aggrievedly, "And I was not like that when I was really a child..."

That's right, the childhood in the previous life is the real childhood.

Angel remembered that at that time, he had bald the cat next door, occupied the largest banyan tree on the street, and led his younger brothers to fight with children from other classes...

Oh, why doesn't it seem like there's much difference?

Angel recalled it for half a minute and gave up thinking.

He coughed twice, showing a serious expression.

"Let's talk about the past later, let's talk about business!"

Mithril still had distrust in his eyes.

Jiyue showed a serious expression.

Angel has always liked this point of Thorny Moon the most: it is easy to be led away by others, and it is especially easy to coax.

"What's going on with the Adventurer's Guild?" Angel asked Thorny Moon seriously.

Is this what you mean by "business"?

Mithril squinted its eyes and thought, but thought it was angry with Angel, so it didn't speak.

Angel, however, seriously felt that the issue of the Adventurer's Guild was more important, but he couldn't find any clues before: "How did the Adventurer's Guild become a lair of monsters?"

"Why do you..." Jiyue didn't expect Angel to ask such a question. He was stunned and realized, "So that's it. I said, why did the smell of monsters disappear over there? So it was you who did it?"

The blood elf looked at Mithril again and suddenly realized.

"Then the cats in the workshop are—"

"The sacrificed child." Angel lowered his eyes.

Speaking of this, he was in a bad mood: "I don't know how much she ate. The only good thing (?) is that the monster is not a flesh-eating type, but a devilish-erosion type. She is essentially the same as a slime. Almost, assimilate what they eat into a part of themselves, then split off, and then the group preys on them."

"I can only cut out the parts that haven't been digested, but because they are too polluted and can't be purified back to their original appearance, I have to use the alchemy technique of making mithril to transform them into cats."

Angel felt that this was a depressing story.

In fact, he didn't save anyone in the end.

Children who are eaten end up being eaten, unable to become human again.

Angor looked at Jiyue in a bad mood: "So, what's going on?! Do you know that there are monsters there and don't care?"

"How should I manage it?" Jiyue asked back, "That place is an orphanage appointed by the king, and I'm still entangled with noble merchants, and I'm just the boss of the gangster on the street. As long as I do something there, there will naturally be people Wipe us out!"

"What's more, do you think there are monsters only there? Once the roaring factory opened, it swallowed up countless souls. Cecilia is already considered good, but in other cities, do you know how many homeless people who lost their families, lost their parents? orphans?"

When Jiyue said this, she paused.

As if remembering who he was talking to, he lowered his tone: "Of course, I was negligent too... I thought it was an official orphanage, at least they wouldn't make it too ugly, I didn't expect it to become like that ..."

Jiyue's subordinates hurriedly comforted him and said:

"No, boss, you've done a good job!"

"That's right, aren't all the orphans in the city under your protection!"

Angel, however, didn't care to listen to Jiyue's introspection.

"...That's right, it's not technology that improves the quality of life of civilians, nor is it the conscience of capitalists..."

Even in Blue Star, what the industrial revolution brought to the middle and lower classes was not an improvement in life.

Angel whispered, "They're doing this, why hasn't the red ghost appeared yet?" Only when that ghost sweeps the world, will the huge man-eating monster be terrified and back down.

"Ghost?" Jiyue's long ears moved. He didn't understand what Angor said, but felt that Angor's thoughts were a bit strange. "Can't ghosts be dealt with with white magic? Why are they afraid of ghosts?"

"...!" By the way, this is what I am most afraid of!

Angor stood up abruptly.

Angel didn't think he had the ability to release and control the red ghost—to be honest, he had already forgotten what he had learned in Maogai class—but he was happy to see it happen.

Now that someone has released the industrial monster, there will naturally be red ghosts to take care of them.

But that ghost...can it really come out in this world?

The last time I saw the situation of the Adventurer's Guild (orphanage), Angel always felt that something was wrong, but now the words of Thorny Moon reminded him:

In this world, a part of TMD is idealistic!

As a good young man who grew up in a materialistic world, Angel considered using scientific methods to analyze magic at first, but he soon discovered that his scientific reserves could not support him to do so, because the matter in this world is not stable, even It will be affected by the emotions and thoughts of creatures—for example, the formula of alchemy potions is an example, and a certain mood can even turn poison into medicine.

And under the influence of this idealistic magic, the most obvious manifestation is monsters.

When humans fall into negative emotions, it is easy to attract monsters. Some mages even believe that monsters are by-products of human emotions after research.

Therefore, there is a great possibility that in this world, before the people turn into red ghosts, they will be devoured by the monsters lured by their despair and pain.

After all, industry is not a natural development of this world. Who knows if it will flood into a disaster more terrifying than the magic disaster like the rabbits on the Australian prairie? !

Thinking about it this way, the situation of the Adventurer's Guild is inevitable.

Judging from Enlis's mood that day, even if no one is acting as a monster, it will be a matter of time before she is targeted by monsters.

So first of all, there must be enough happiness to stop the flood of monsters——

"Shall we talk about business?" Angel suddenly lost his strength, retreated into the chair, and asked lazily, "Xiaoxue, do you want to buy a game table?"

"Ah?" The blood elf didn't react for a while.

Jiyue remembered that they were still discussing orphans and monsters half a minute ago, right?Why did you suddenly change the subject?

Angor didn't intend to continue discussing that unpleasant topic at all, he knocked on the table: "You didn't come here to catch up with me, did you?"

"No, who wants to catch up with you!" cried Thorn Moon.

If he had known that the owner of the workshop was Angel, he would have traveled as far as he could.

But when mentioning the game table, Jiyue's eyes rolled wildly: "I want to buy the game table, but..."

"Ok?"

Jiyue sighed, and said with determination: "It's just that other people asked me to buy it, probably to mess with you!"

"Who?" Angor asked.

"The second young master of Page's family, but that guy should be just a puppet who was instigated." Jiyue said without any concealment, "There are several companies that have been eyeing your workshop before. For example, Augustus of the Magic Crystal Mine, Locke of the Royal Capital, Hester of the Trading City, etc. It seems that the royal family and the Mage Tower have intervened... I know you don’t understand who these people are, but you understand that the situation is very complicated That's good. We have received several commissions, and this time too, on the fourth day after you opened the door, someone asked us to come to check on the situation and bought your new product."

...It's too detailed!

Mithril widened his eyes and thought, he was about to sympathize with Jiyue's employer, he was betrayed so thoroughly in an instant.

"Boss?" Jiyue's younger brother also called out worriedly.

They wondered if their boss had been enchanted by the black wizard.

But Thorny Moon raised a hand, stifling his men's speech.

Jiyue's performance is not like being enchanted, but her words are very organized: "To be honest, if we knew that the opponent was a dark wizard, we would never accept this kind of commission just because of such a small amount of money, it's too risky .”

Especially this dark wizard is Angel.

Thorny Moon shuddered.

He was actually more afraid of Angel than anyone imagined.

Almost to the point of childhood shadow.

Like Mithril, even if it is shaved, it is just a "hateful brat" in the impression.

But Jiyue was Angor's younger brother back then, and as a genuine "fantasy creature", he was especially "favored" by Angor, so Angor asked Jiyue to do a lot of things as his assistant, and Jiyue was better than anyone else. Know what Angel was like when he was a child.

Can you imagine a boy testing the fighting power of the evil spirits in stages, while mobilizing the children of the whole street to collect clues about the abandoned old house, and finally after getting rid of the evil spirits, he forged his identity certificate and quietly sold the property rights of this haunted house Transfer it to your own hands, and then carry out various evil plans in this haunted house?

Can you imagine a child methodically conducting experiments on the little devil's cramp, recording step by step, and then germinating his own magic power, and then tidying up the scene neatly, destroying the evidence, and preventing adults from finding out?Also make a gesture of "my magic power has been awakened so early, I'm so awesome"?

Jiyue didn't feel anything when she was a child, she just thought "Brother Angel is so amazing".

When he grows up, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong.

Children of which race were that ghostly when they were young? !

What happened to him? !

As a result, this "what" actually climbed back from the mage tower!He also became a black robe!And inexplicably, it has not aged for more than 100 years, and it looks more alive than him, a long-lived species!

Jiyue feels like watching a ghost movie now.

Anyway, in every sense, Jiyue doesn't want to be an enemy with the unknown thing in this body.

Jiyue said: "So the game table thing, just pretend it never happened!"

"Emmmmmm," Angor stared at Thorny Moon, and made a strange nasal sound. After looking at the blood elves for a long time, Angel suddenly said, "Xiaoxue, you are actually poor, right?"

"Huh? Ah!" Jiyue paled in shock.

He looked at Angel nervously: "You, what are you talking about? Why do I look poor?"

"Even if you don't plan to be a spy for others, don't you ever think about buying two game tables and going back?" Angel said, "I see that you and your subordinates had a good time before, and you even hit the rankings. …Speaking of which, who gave the money for the list?”

"The second lacking master of Page's family, he said that he must be the first... No! I'm not poor!" Jiyue struggled, "I just think that magic toys are not compatible with our organization at all!"

Jiyue's subordinates also chimed in:

"Yes, we are not poor at all!"

"Our brats can eat without stealing or robbing, and the old John in the next block even praised us for having a lot of money!"

"We don't have to do bad things and we can live on!"

"Yeah, why spend money on toys? If you want to play, come to the workshop."

You are truly a "Street Volunteer Committee"!

Angor smiled wryly and shook his head.

But he was glad to see that the blood elves didn't seem to have changed much after more than 100 years.

Probably the benefit of the long-lived species is this. Their changes are always much less than that of humans, and they are so stubborn that it is reassuring.

It's just this kind of innocence, it will be very difficult to live in this era.

"Don't worry! I had no intention of selling game tables." Angel said.

Thorny Moon breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Angel would force him to buy it.

Although it is said to be endless, magic props are really expensive, especially if they are made to be played by ordinary people, they will consume even more magic power. A game table like this is estimated to cost dozens of gold, which is not for ordinary people at all. Can be used as a toy.

But Jiyue thought about it, and felt strange again: "If you don't sell it, how will you make money?"

"Although the game table is not for sale, it can be rented!"

"rent?"

"Yeah! Look, it's not worth selling!" Angel said without blinking, "Just the shell of the game table requires a professional prop maker, and the design cost me dozens of gold (lying) ), now the table is also made by the item shop (truth), the rune core is more expensive, and a professional rune master is needed (lying), and the salary is probably a few hundred gold a month (lying), let alone I hired it for him A group of apprentice assistants (lying), dozens of children will cost dozens of gold (truth)! And the magic power consumed by a game table is also very large (lying), like the current passenger flow, there are not ten yuan of magic power Jing couldn't hold it at all (lying), if it wasn't for the inventory that I knew of hidden in the innermost part of the warehouse of the workshop, it wouldn't be able to hold it at all (lying), the game table produced in this way is actually not durable to play, you see you play it a month It’s the end of the list, and it’s not worthwhile to buy it privately, so it’s more profitable to put it in a public place with a lot of traffic, isn’t it (truth)?”

Listening to Angor's words, Mithril's eyes widened and their pupils became vertical stripes.

Because in Angor's arrangement, Mithril was supposed to implement this passage, but now Angor is super skilled at bluffing acquaintances.

Jiyue almost fainted, he said blankly: "Ah, indeed!"

Angel turned around and stared at Jiyue: "So, are you interested in being my agent?"

"Agent?" Jiyue repeated like a repeater.

"Actually, I was worrying about this problem before I saw you," Angel said, "If it is in the form of leasing, it is best to spread it throughout the city, and find a suitable location in public places with high traffic streets and shops. It is also necessary to replace the core magic device regularly. For a mage like me who has been autistic in the mage tower for more than 100 years, the workload is a bit too much, and if I don’t have enough power, I will be troubled by others Right? So I want a proxy."

This is the truth.

Speaking of which, arcade game machines were not sold to families immediately when they were first rolled out, let alone built arcade centers immediately, but placed in various bars in the form of leased sites, and the bar owners were given a certain amount of rent. It's enough to share with them. As for the arcade itself, the agent is responsible for its own profits and losses-of course, there are also bar owners who buy arcade machines directly.

This form is similar to beverage machines in various public places.

However, the Alchemy Workshop has not fallen to the current level, the past channels have long since disappeared, and there is no suitable agent, so Angel dragged this matter down.

Angel originally planned to make it a little more troublesome, negotiating separately with the guests who wanted to buy the game table, and renting out the service, but the appearance of the Thorny Moon solved this problem!

Is there a better proxy than a "Street Volunteer Committee"?Does not exist!

This group of people is Cecilia's top snakes. They are familiar with all the streets, bars and other commercial places. They can judge where the traffic is the largest and it is suitable to place game tables; there are enough people, and the most important thing is that the force value is enough. Now, you don't have to worry about any accidents in the facility, and you can also prevent other people from coveting.

That's why Angel was so pleasantly surprised when he saw Thorny Moon.

It feels like a pie that fell from the sky!

He really lived up to the bottle of Felicia he had every morning recently!

Jiyue was covered in hairs by Angel's enthusiastic gaze.

He didn't intend to continue to have anything to do with Angor, but he thought about what Angor said before, and then thought about the recent bustle of the workshop, he felt that this was a big deal.

Moreover, if you don't make an enemy of Angel, but just be a partner (X) with Angel and be a younger brother to Angel, it is actually very comfortable.

After all, this is a strong man who can dissect demons and exploit evil spirits.

Because the blood elves' bloodline is related to the demon race, Thorny Moon didn't know how much discrimination she suffered since she was a child, but in retrospect, the time when she was with Angor was the most comfortable, and it was the haunted house that Angor left for him to live in. place.

(But the trauma left behind is real, too.)

Thorny Moon does not reject serving Angor.

but……

"You really don't care that I accepted the commission to bring down your workshop?" Thorny Moon asked worriedly.

This is also the reason why Jiyue saw Angor turn around and wanted to run.

Jiyue thinks that her friendship is with Angel, not with the magic gear. Besides, the former owner of the workshop is not a thing at all, and Jiyue really has no psychological burden to mess with him.

Who would have thought that Angor would crawl back?

"If you think I care, can you still talk to me alive?" Angel laughed.

His smile made everyone's heart tremble.

Angel continued: "Besides, I don't think you need to refuse that commission! Anyway, it's not your fault that I don't sell it. You can convince him to be the first customer to rent our game table—from playing the list For the money he spent, he was a good client!"

"Are you mentally retarded?" Jiyue said, "He wants the game table in order to crack it and produce it himself!"

"That was the case when he paid for the game table," Angel said mercilessly, "but I have also analyzed it with you, how much it costs to develop a game table yourself, and it doesn't cost much to rent one. Since it can be rented, why build it yourself? At that time, I don’t need to do it, and they will have differences.”

Everyone shuddered.

This guy really hasn't changed at all!

"I would like to be your agent."

Jiyue took a deep breath, sat up straight and assumed a negotiating posture.

After all, now he is no longer just Angel's younger brother, but the leader of an organization, and there are still so many people under him who want to eat!

"So, how do we act as an agent? Brother Angel."
