Chapter 58 Sicily, will you approve the leave?
Pei Hening went to class as usual. She finished her lessons quickly today and even had time to discuss and improve the Red Power Potion with Xixia.
As she emerged from the lounge with the revised formula for the power potion, she encountered Pingyuan, who was lying in wait.
Her appearance today is very different from before.
It must have been some kind of hair dye that turned her originally unremarkable curly hair a deep red.
She braided her deep red curly hair into a side braid with a shimmering magic rope, wore a black feather decoration made of a special material on her head, and her ears drooped obediently, making her look light and agile overall.
The red magic robe she wore had magic patterns that flickered in and out, and many dazzling gems hung from her waist. It was exquisite and luxurious, and the small potion bottle still hung around her neck.
Pingyuan strode up to her, stirring the fire element in the air, creating tiny, beautiful specks of orange-red light. She exclaimed excitedly, "I've finally found you! Do you still have that dyeing potion? I'll trade you something!"
Pei Hening's gaze fell on the black feather on the top of her head.
Pingyuan blushed when she noticed her gaze, quickly covered her head, took a step back, and said warily, "Our relationship hasn't reached that point yet, you can't mess with my friendship!"
Pei Hening withdrew her gaze and asked, "What are the Friendship Feathers of your Frostfall Clan used for?"
Once Ping Yuan was certain that Pei Hening wasn't interested in her friendship feather, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's for a good friend."
Pei Hening expressed doubt about her words.
If it's just a friendship feather to give to a good friend, why is she so nervous?
Pei Hening inexplicably felt that the feather of friendship she had placed in her backpack was burning hot!
She thought for a moment and asked, "What would you like to trade for the power potion that can dye?"
Bottle Wish: "A magical artifact? Or some other potion?"
Pei Hening looked at her and said, "I want to learn about the history of your Jiangshuang tribe. Perhaps you could give me a history book?"
Since Ping is unwilling to talk about it, can't she find the answer herself?
Pingyuan's eyes widened: "Really?"
Pei Hening nodded.
Pingyuan spread her hands, and a magical ripple flashed by, revealing a thick history book in her hands. Pei Hening had never seen the words in the book before, but she could understand them—"Chronicle of Major Events in the 100,000 Years of Frostfall".
Pei Hening took the book and handed over the potion she had just made in class, thoughtfully reminding her: "After using the potion, your skin will turn red for seven hours."
Ping Yuan accepted the power potion and vanished in a flash.
Only a faint sense of dryness remained in the air.
Pei Hening left the teaching building with "Chronicle of Frostfall Over 100,000 Years".
She went to the parking lot to wait for Chu Xuange, because he definitely hadn't finished class yet!
This information was obtained from her and Sicily.
Chu Xuange, that unlucky fellow, had a teacher who was the strictest at the highway school and hated students skipping classes the most—Ruen.
Pei Hening returned to the car and jotted down the inspiration and insights she had gained from discussing the potion with Xixia in class that day in her notebook.
When Chu Xuange finished his lesson and came out, it was already 4:50 pm.
He walked quickly towards the parking lot.
Seeing the electric sports car parked next to his car, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the baby was still there.
Pei Hening put down her pen, closed the notebook, and handed it to him: "Take this back and take a look. Tomorrow is the 19th, and the day after tomorrow I'm going to an auction. You're going to a wine tasting. I'll transfer some money to you tomorrow. Buy whatever you want yourself."
Chu Xuange took her class notes and nodded: "I'll video call you tomorrow morning and tell you about the things to note when going to the auction, and what you need to pay attention to—the players."
——
Nineteen days of survival on the highway.
"Congratulations to player [滴比滴比] for obtaining the potion 'A Sweet Dream'."
Pei Hening had just finished washing up when Chu Xuange called her impatiently.
Good morning, baby.
Pei Hening transferred 1,000 gold coins to him: "Good morning."
Chu Xuange brought her breakfast and told her about what he had seen and heard at the auction at the headquarters of the highway store in his previous life: "Remember to ask your teacher for leave today. Tomorrow, get up early and run for two hours. After completing the target mileage and the additional mileage, navigate to the auction site. It will take about half an hour to get there. The preview period is from 10 am to 12 pm, so you can see the auction items in advance."
"During the two-hour preview period, if you find an item you like, you can ask the NPC for details. Be sure to tip them a silver coin. In addition to players, there are other races present at the auction."
"You are very likely to encounter [Get Rich, Get Rich, Get Rich]. Be careful of him. He has a ferocious dragon tattooed on his back and wears a cross earring, which is a life-saving item."
Chu Xuange frowned as he said this: "I guess he got that earring from the church, but I've never been to a church and don't know anything about that site."
Pei Hening thought of the "faithful believer of God" and his admonition, saying, "I went to church once before and met the 'faithful believer of God' there. He said that there are good and bad sites and told me not to believe in God."
Pei Hening: "Players who do not 'believe in God' cannot enter the church and can only stay in the reception area."
She added, "When the church's site rules and the [Faithful Follower of God] with the 'Trainee Priest' profession introduced them to me, every word was about how many benefits 'believing in God' would bring, without mentioning a single price the player would have to pay."
Chu Xuange nodded: "Let's postpone this question for now. I'll continue. You need to find the person in charge, Dora of the Undead Clan, between 12:00 and 2:00 in the afternoon to pay a deposit of 500 gold coins and get a number plate."
"Failure to pay the deposit within the time limit will result in being blacklisted and barred from participating in auctions in the future."
"Before the auction begins, you must protect your number plate. You can eat the food provided at the venue, but do not eat the 'delicious chocolate,' which is full of alcohol."
"The auction will officially begin at 2 PM. An NPC will take you to your spot. Remember to tip the NPC who serves you one silver coin."
Pei Hening listened quietly.
"Ryan should also be at the auction. He has the right of first refusal. If you have something you really want, you can ask him to bid for it for you, but his bidding fee is not low."
Chu Xuange took a sip of mineral water and advised, "Stay calm during the bidding and don't blindly raise the price, just like in the auctions we've participated in before."
"After you win the bid for the item you want, you will not only have to pay the hammer price, but also a 10% service fee. It is best to pay in full on the same day. If the money is not settled after seven days, it will automatically be converted into a loan to the highway shop, and the interest rate is not low."
...
By the time Chu Xuange finished giving his instructions, it was already time to go to school.
Pei Hening thought to herself, "Will Xixia approve my leave?"
