144 A lot of progress
"The positioning left by Krimans should be this place, right?"
Yevgenia stood by the roadside of Sunset Avenue, looking at the towering palm trees and the endless stream of vehicles, and became more and more melancholy.
This place is the suburb of Los Santo.
After Yevgenia arrived in this metropolis, it took several days to use a few magic capsules, but she still couldn't find the traces of magic left by Krimans. Apart from herself, there seemed to be no second magician in the city.
She took out a folded piece of letter paper from her pocket, unfolded it, and saw the newly appeared words:
[Captain, the new stronghold has been established. We have been divided into several groups. Some people deliver food, some go to milk tea shops, and some people use photo models. We have all found a channel for making money that complies with local laws. Captain, how are your progress? We are all waiting for your next instructions.]
This is magic communication, which requires a certain amount of magic power, but it is better to be safe. At least, Yevgenia trusts this communication method more than the idea products that may be monitored and eavesdropped.
But it is obvious that the message Krimans left is even more unreliable than electronic products...
She folded the letter paper in half, and the magic gathered on her fingertips and wrote on the blank back paper:
[I have no progress, no trace of magic, and no dangerous traps. I suspect that Krimans might have deceived us. Perhaps he has never been to this place at all.]
After Yevgenia finished writing, she put away the letter paper and stood there in deep thought.
Suddenly, a man in fancy clothes came towards him. He handed over with playing cards and smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, are you interested in magic?"
Yevgenia only took a look and saw a little strange with the wise man's abilities.
She pointed to the middle of the playing cards and said, "The cards here are sticky."
The street magician was stunned. He could not understand how this flaw was discovered no matter what.
Yevgenia shook her head, walked around him, and whispered a word in the common term of the Magic Continent: "Bored."
Then she continued to murmur in this language that no one could understand: "Look for it again, if there are no traces left by Kremans or Shirley, go back to develop the stronghold..."

"The final results have come out, and our class is mixed. In order not to add psychological burden to everyone, I will not be able to rank, okay?"
On the podium, as soon as Teacher Wang finished speaking, many students in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief.
"This winter vacation, the math teacher told me that because everyone's grades are generally not good, I have assigned more papers for everyone."
As soon as the words were finished, there was a sound of gasping in the classroom.
Niu Qingliu immediately turned around and whispered to Zuo Rong behind him: "You have to help with this, right?"
Zuo Rong smiled: "Do you want to copy homework?"
Niu Qingliu: "What does it mean to copy? Don't say it too much, it's just that some difficult problems may be learned from you..."
However, at this moment, Teacher Wang said again: "By the way, the three students Du Na, Zuo Rong and Chen Yumeng don't need to write this part of the additional homework. Their math is more than 14."
Niu Qingliu was stunned.
Zuo Rong shrugged: "Stop looking for me, it's useless to look for it."
Niu Qingliu was speechless and choked.
Next, it is time to distribute the test papers. The class representatives went to the podium to pick up the papers and handed them over to everyone.
At this time, Du Na suddenly touched the arm of the boy beside her and whispered: "When the grades come down, you will see the ranking."
Zuo Rong smiled: "Yes."
Duna: "We can compare."
Zuo Rong: "Is it necessary?"
Duna's little face was full of seriousness: "It must be necessary! Although there was no bet this time, but..."
Zuo Rong smiled and continued, "But you just want to distinguish between the top and bottom? Yes, yes, but I don't think I will be on top of you. And I don't think I can surpass you in terms of grades. In fact, I'm very satisfied if I can get close to you."
Duna couldn't help but be stunned: "Are you satisfied just by getting close?"
Zuo Rong leaned into her ear and whispered: "Of course, you are the top genius in the continent. As long as you study a little hard, you will never be surpassed by mortals, right?"
This sound, with the heat of exhalation, brushed across the girl's ears, making her unable to help shrink her neck.
At the same time, she remembered the scene that was called "Supplementing the Demon" a few days ago in her room, but no matter how she recalled it, she felt a little strange, especially the ear-touching part...
At this moment, Qian Yingxue walked to the side and handed over the biology test papers of the two.
"Two geniuses, this is yours."
Zuo Rong took it and found that his score was two points higher than Duna. He was also close to full marks, so he only got one question wrong, while Duna was a little careless and got two wrong.
Duna: "Who said just now, as long as you get close, you will be satisfied?"
Zuo Rong: "Coincidence, coincidence..."
Seeing that the brother and sister took the paper and continued to whisper, Qian Yingxue couldn't help but want to interrupt. Just so happened that she thought of a good topic.
Qian Yingxue cleared her throat and calmly said, "Are you free this winter vacation? Can you take me to study with you?"
Zuo Rong turned his head and looked at her: "Study together?"
Qian Yingxue: "Yes, I have also explained the questions to others, but I feel that I am reviewing and consolidating them when I was teaching the questions. It's pretty good. When you are studying, should you bring me with me and tell me the questions by the way?"
Zuo Rong thought about it.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of Qian Yingxue, and the paper held in her hand suddenly blew away. Dozens of test papers drifted away and fell all over the ground.
Qian Yingxue's glasses were half gone. She stood there blankly, not understanding what had happened just now.
The gust of wind only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared, as if it was just an illusion...
But Zuo Rong felt it.
He not only felt the wind, but also the ripples of magic.
So Zuo Rong turned his head to look at Du Na and asked whisper: "Are you a thug?"
Duna subconsciously shook her head and said weakly: "I didn't mean it... I didn't draw a magic circle, so it shouldn't be."
Zuo Rong: "Didn't draw a magic circle, just imagine a gust of wind?"
Duna nodded.
When Qian Yingxue said "Study Together", Duna subconsciously mobilized a trace of magic power and created the magic configuration of [Air Shock] - of course, she didn't have the idea of making trouble. After all, this magic is quite complicated. With the strength of an intermediate magician, it should not be instantly emitted.
Zuo Rong smiled and said, "This shows that your strength has improved a lot."
Duna: "Let's help her pick up the test paper first..."
Chapter completed!
