清晨的C-17宿舍瀰漫著一股難以言喻的怪味。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5cpHrI9NR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1qE3tNn7r
那是海腥味、焦糊味以及某種酸性清洗劑混合在一起的味道。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNgTtebohX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5X8fYP4ar
四個來自地球的少年圍在石桌旁，正進行著一項精密的外科手術——分解那隻岩甲蟹。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO67Ea4g0Z
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSVwo3mQAR
「這些剛毛必須剃乾淨，」Ravi手裡拿著一塊鋒利的貝殼，像個老練的裁縫一樣小心翼翼地刮著蟹腿，「集市的老闆說過，如果不乾淨，收購價會打七折。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi66gctHDN
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJJa5IQ3QJ
「這兩根大筋抽出來了！」Jack滿頭大汗地用力一扯，一根半透明、如同牛筋般充滿彈性的筋條被完整剝離，「天啊，這玩意兒比橡皮筋還韌，用來做彈弓絕對無敵。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ELrLgpSy
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ZJIXcoRD
洪軒則戴著從實驗室順來的薄皮手套，正在處理最核心的部分——背甲。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUktevreje
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ7uez07l5
他沒有用蠻力敲碎，而是利用化學知識。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk8IGCfhn0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxtThLoEVZ
他在甲殼的縫隙處滴了幾滴從海邊酸性植物中提取的汁液，甲殼的連接組織便軟化了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jeVlLKS8I
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kghPw7EQJ
這樣能保證甲殼的完整性。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp4KQfcTDk
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16r7Rry1RC
「完整的背甲，兩根主筋，還有一磅重的甲殼碎片粉末。」Kim在筆記本上快速記錄著，「根據我們打聽到的行情，這大概值15到20個銅幣。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplpnhdyMGl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xxa4zQipH
20個銅幣。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VyyuV8Vp5
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytvJ5Lldu3
在地球，這可能連根棒棒糖都買不起。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrQ7E014Yp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ci3N7jAjB
但在這個貧瘠學院，一個銅幣能買兩個黑麵包，或者換取一次公共浴室的熱水澡機會。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyPCXVUU10
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBllCwdsrvt
這是一筆鉅款。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftFoK5Rw9Q
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo758UiFOBH
「走吧。」洪軒將處理好的材料打包進一個破布袋裡，「去『黑市』。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhRfyghcW8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKjMkwCncd
所謂的黑市，其實是位於學院後山的一片自由交易區。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxgl4eYAPX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzXPqbI6Mr
學院對此睜一隻眼閉一只眼，因為這裡也是學員之間互通有無、甚至是被淘汰物品流通的場所。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w0TrAWFuS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfZP3lnlwk
剛走進集市，嘈雜聲便撲面而來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk85ghAe5xN
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEZ9hMkFYF
這裡涇渭分明地分成了兩個區域。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4sPDLAccm
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZpxV1oS49
左邊是精緻的攤位，擺滿了各種發光的藥劑、低級魔導器和新鮮的魔獸肉。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEptr0dK7j
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYghflmJcV
攤主大多是本地學員，他們穿著整潔的制服，神情倨傲。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00WRfJXiHf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3T0pTX6CP
右邊則是鋪著破布的地攤，賣的是一些採集的草藥、打磨過的石頭，甚至是幫人洗衣服、跑腿的勞務牌子。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0I1VmNkJF
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqTiXJFgeL
這裡是地球學員的地盤。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZUeJFvciJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg831oDz6QF
洪軒帶著三人徑直走向位於中間地帶的一家雜貨鋪。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWygzJ1dDS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVd094ks0h
老闆是一個名叫「老湯姆」的獨眼地精（Goblin），他是學院後勤部的編外人員，以貪婪和摳門著稱。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8qYTgHdje
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPUrfUJ9qk
「岩甲蟹？」老湯姆用那隻渾濁的獨眼瞥了一眼布袋裡的東西，甚至沒伸手去翻，「這種垃圾海灘上到處都是。5個銅幣，全部。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84qP7wFCgd
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW98SPf5hCJ
「這不可能。」負責談判的是Kim，他皺起眉頭，「這是經過專業處理的。甲殼沒有裂紋，筋條完整度100%。市價至少18個銅幣。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhZRoX9duc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpoKRzAL4F
「那是賣給鍊金師的價格！」老湯姆尖聲叫道，露出一口黃牙，「我是收購商，我有倉儲成本、運輸成本！你們這些外鄉人懂什麼經濟學？愛賣不賣，不賣滾蛋！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbkLNwl2nc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkapRoX7Wxf
Jack氣得握緊了拳頭，想衝上去理論，卻被洪軒攔住了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfe3uGk2fD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvKUhkNooR
洪軒上前一步，沒有說話，而是從口袋裡掏出了那把折疊傘。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzSwiPVsXl
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eV6JCnE6Q
他並沒有打開傘，而是用傘尖那顆經過蝕刻的魔石，輕輕敲了敲櫃檯上的那塊用來稱重的金屬盤。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZyJuSJB4g
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHw5KuZ4ym
叮——47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxOl8BLPCX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2EkxCAOZj
清脆的聲音響起，伴隨著一絲微弱但精純的火元素波動。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA80fiSlfaU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59spXoSqRp
老湯姆的獨眼瞬間瞇了起來。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bk4X2Oqa2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWRjtBx3u2
他是識貨的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz0NIYJeWY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo2Rstlxgr
雖然那把傘看著像垃圾，但那種魔力控制的精準度，絕對不是普通學徒能做到的。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdWowSVIpQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S2jWK72f5
更重要的是，他看到了洪軒腰間掛著的那塊髒兮兮的灰色圍裙——那是克萊門特導師實驗室的標誌。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuImaWiaryA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwOKC4A2nK
「克萊門特導師最近在研究一種新型的甲殼硬化劑。」洪軒用流利的通用語平靜地說道，甚至模仿了導師那種冷漠的語調，「他對材料的純度要求很高。如果你這裡收購價太低，我們或許可以直接把這些材料作為『實驗廢料』上交給導師。雖然沒錢，但能換點學分。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgD9IxLtaU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22N6D1jaRJ
這是赤裸裸的狐假虎威。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNth5ljIgs
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa0x8TQ01W
但在這個信息不對稱的世界，這就是情報戰。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CT1NbAIj1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJIvp397sq
老湯姆猶豫了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBOMrvfAlB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaLYOoPT4w
他不敢得罪那個脾氣暴躁的紅袍法師，更不想失去這一批質量確實上乘的貨源。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRDko3kDEq
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlr0sVFzv
「……嘖。」老湯姆咂了咂嘴，態度軟化了一些，「看在導師的面子上。12個銅幣。不能再多了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDxJpT2dex
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4MdbnhiZ9
「15個。」洪軒寸步不讓，「外加一瓶那邊架子上的『金屬保養油』。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsamEX2km67
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGVcHOWRZi
老湯姆瞪著洪軒，似乎想從這個少年的臉上看出破綻。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7M24cntcQ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVFoXLFTkj
但洪軒的眼神平靜如水，深不見底。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuhxJ6lOG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAeZiXvxzt
「……成交！死吸血鬼！」老湯姆罵罵咧咧地扔出一小袋錢幣和一罐油。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVypubiuGuW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInOg4v26RD
走出店舖，四個人找了個角落分贓。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo0V20BWnk
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4AiH9cp86
「太神了洪！」Jack拿著分到的3個銅幣，興奮地親了一口，「你剛才那架勢，簡直就像個真正的魔法師老爺！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEWwco9cPK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtzM6hnCIl
「那是因為我扯了大旗。」洪軒笑了笑，將屬於自己的那份銅幣收好，手裡緊緊攥著那罐保養油。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7CKHLoxO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gFHYP3VW
這是為了保養雨傘的機械結構。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV9kr0sSlg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmknn2IRLbc
海風腐蝕性太強，如果不上油，傘骨的彈簧很快就會生鏽卡死。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR4BFZgrC9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm22dvWTtX
「接下來自由活動。」洪軒看了看天色，「我去一趟圖書館。我有個關於魔導回路的問題卡住了，需要查資料。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqGN4gUTbh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuERw4qXA7
「去吧去吧，學霸。」Jack揮揮手，「我們去那邊看看有沒有賣二手鞋子的，我的鞋底快磨穿了。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpon7dI8Yc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJiWidpH0S
與室友分開後，洪軒獨自一人沿著石板路向上走。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywubgizkiZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLantXeLYqa
學院圖書館位於塔樓的第三層。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Fso5HacP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyuTH6pqpD
這裡不像地球的圖書館那樣寬敞明亮，而是一座充滿了霉味和墨水味的環形大廳。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsRqghw5xX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAp0ln44D4
高聳的書架直通天花板，只有持有特定權限的人才能進入。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfjM6DIErU
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk69oVInuT
憑藉著克萊門特導師給的權限手環，洪軒順利通過了門口的魔法禁制。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAZfoSfARG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y6dqj0q7Q
他只能進入第一層區域——基礎理論區。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh67Cv1E7jp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ElaNldtQm
雖然是基礎，但對於來自地球的他來說，這裡的每一本書都是無價之寶。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvX0sF6ZgW
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4paS6Gu06l
洪軒熟練地走到標記著「附魔與結構」的書架區。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItwFJAhNEY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2HFGc6I6o
他最近遇到了一個瓶頸：【原型機二號】的射速雖然快，但「聚能」過程太慢。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHligEUfU7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqKnSUd4k6
每次發射後，都需要1.5秒左右的時間重新從空氣中抽取魔力。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY99Hltx5uY
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aDHXGgyPG
在生死搏鬥中，這1.5秒足夠他死三次。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nzyNzbHuA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu6WdogqBV
他在尋找關於「魔力儲存池」或者是「瞬間激發陣列」的知識。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oVrK9MNDS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4qylmoJ2O
洪軒抽出一本厚重的《標準魔紋圖譜》，找了個靠窗的偏僻角落坐下。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXsNrq9mUP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNLFLXW7cB
這裡很安靜，窗外可以看到壯闊的海景和遠處翻湧的雲海。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0qCxnSXpy
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc6H8PYVNm
陽光透過彩色的玻璃窗灑在泛黃的書頁上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9lI6aalRx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dk5LS9Y7o
洪軒很快就沉浸在了那些複雜的幾何線條中，手中的筆在草稿紙上飛快地演算著。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EKCWdhgQE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4W3rREnTL
他並沒有注意到，在他身後的書架另一側，一雙湛藍色的眼睛正透過書本的縫隙，帶著一絲好奇與探究，悄悄地觀察著他。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziqqEcTsUH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiMUGU6q9I
那是他未曾察覺的視線。 而在這個充滿魔法的世界裡，有些相遇，或許比魔法更難以解析。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsJFxt0aQJ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs5MK8bD3m
洪軒眉頭緊鎖，筆尖在紙上畫了一個大大的叉。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLBvxMqWGB
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWXD2tWqrl
「不行……單純增加並聯回路會導致體積過大，雨傘的傘柄空間有限……除非……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BuA0e8m1x
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjrUXoW4CT
他無意識地轉著手中的筆，低聲喃喃自語，用的是中文：「除非用疊層結構……或者是……雙螺旋？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UUkSfWW84
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqxtEVIugQ
這個來自異鄉的語言，在安靜的圖書館角落裡顯得格外突兀。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZH5zXAkcD
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIwvquExoY
書架後的那個人影微微一顫。1234 copyright protection43ＰＥＮＡＮＡakoireEx0x 尼
