Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 97 Secret Base (4k)

"Secret base?"

After sending Bai Jingxuan home, the delphinium who came to Xia Liang's house was a little surprised by the proposal of the two girls: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"How should I put it? After all, our team has so many people now, and each of them has different things to do. Wouldn't it be better to unify the event location... or something like that?"

Lin Xiaolu tugged at her sleeve nervously, trying not to let her look away, showing a guilty conscience: "Look, it's still summer vacation, so when we start school, it would be better to meet at a fixed place, right? Always being outside feels a bit…”

In Delphinium's eyes, her behavior was full of doubts, but she couldn't think of the reason for a moment.So she crossed her arms and cast her eyes on Xia Liang who was at the side.

Seeing Delphinium's questioning expression, Xia Liang couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaolu.However, when she saw Lin Xiaolu's shrinking face, she knew that she could not count on her at all.

Withdrawing her gaze, Xia Liang could only try her best to straighten out her expression, pretending to be calm and saying:
"That is to say, changing places for activities like this now, a lot of time is wasted just on the road every day. Xiaolu and I feel that it affects efficiency."

"If there is a secret base, everyone can even live there together. Whether it is special training or tutoring, it will be more convenient, right?"

Although it was a newly made-up reason, she was actually right.

These words caused the two girls to turn their faces away in opposite directions at the same time.

"Is there a hundred thousand?" Xia Liang's estimate is obviously more optimistic, "I remember reading rumors on the Internet that magic materials are very valuable."

Her proposal made the two newcomers speechless for a moment.

However, although Lin Xiaolu's house is larger, she lives with her father after all, and Bai Jingxuan may not be able to let it go; although Xia Liang's house is almost vacant, the place is small, and it seems a bit crowded if there are four people to live in.

Parents always hope that their children are pure and innocent in mind, and keep their purity and beauty.But I do feel worried: I really raised my child to be a fool, what should I do if I get cheated when I go out.

After saying such a long list, in order for the two girls to follow and understand, she stopped talking and confirmed to Lin Xiaolu: "Can you understand the logic of what I said?"

"So I'm just telling you the value of the response. Regarding the location of the secret base, we can choose another way—to ask the Bureau of Different Strategies."

Lin Xiaolu on the side nodded her head in a subtle way, which indirectly supported her statement.

Although this sentence is a lie, Delphinium really had such a plan.

"Single building..." Lin Xiaolu blinked blankly, "Could it be a little too luxurious?"

"Because this means that our cooperation with the Different Policy Bureau is more in-depth, and there is also a preliminary exchange of interests."

Xia Liang was also a little worried and said: "It's just an event venue, do we really need to choose such a place? And we don't have money..."

"Of course, it's better to say that this kind of request is actually a reasonable official business."

Of course, delphinium was not unprepared for this situation, and Delphinium quickly came up with a set of arguments that had been set earlier: "That probably won't work, because I rent a very small single apartment, and I definitely can't live in it." four people."

"Really?"

Although doing so, the location of the secret base will be known by the Bureau of Different Strategies, making it less "secret".But sometimes, only by communicating with the local official agencies in advance can we avoid more disturbances.

"Of course, just asking for an event venue is a trivial matter for the Bureau of Different Strategies, so we have to show this kind of momentum and treat it as a 'small matter'. Even if you think it is a big deal Money, I still think it is a big thing in my heart, and I have to force myself to show that I don’t care.”

Delphinium raised her chin slightly: "Providing a venue for magical girls is a very normal thing for the Bureau of Different Strategies; don't make a mistake, they actually benefit more than us by facilitating this matter. "

"It's all wrong."

Of course that kind of place does not exist, after all, "Delphinque" doesn't need to live anywhere, while "Lin Yun" only needs to go back to his own home.

"No magical girl who is in the stage of rising strength will exchange the echo for money. At most, she will take out a small part to make up for her daily needs, and most of them will still be used to improve her own strength."

"In other words, as long as we go to the country to exchange these echoes for money, we can rent a villa for a whole year in a not too remote place."

During the initial period of forming a team with Lin Xiaolu, Lin Yun, who was still worried about the future, considered renting a small apartment in the past to pretend to be "Delphinium's residence" to deal with Lin Xiaolu's possible suspicions.

Letting go of her hands clasped across her chest, Delphinium spread out her palms in front of the two girls and made a gesture: "The answer is, counting only egg-level remnants, more than 30."

Her words made Lin Xiaolu suddenly realize: "Ah, so, the liaison personnel from the Different Policy Bureau always ask me if I need help?"

"Yes, if you really want to set up a secret base, you may need a special venue."

If it is to rent or purchase a venue in private to set up a secret base, there is no guarantee that various problems will arise.The decoration of the house, the payment of daily expenses, and the security of the surrounding area will actually cause some minor troubles.

"If you get too close to the Different Policy Bureau, or even the government, you will often have to focus on some very troublesome things. I don't want you to do that."

She drooped her eyelids, raised her index finger and said, "So if we want a secret base, we should ask for it from the Different Policy Bureau as a matter of course, and we must act as if we don't care."

It's just that as time passed, Lin Xiaolu never mentioned this issue from the beginning to the end, and as for the emotion of "doubt", she didn't even have a shadow.This plan has remained at the level of ideas and has been shelved.

"We wipe out the beasts and do our job well; the Bureau of Different Strategies takes care of the aftermath, maintains the stability of the city, and does their job well. Everyone performs their duties, which is the best and healthy relationship."

"Both sides think it's just a small thing, so it's really just a 'small thing', and the favor in exchange is just a 'small favor'. It can only lubricate our relationship, and we don't have to worry about different policies and bureaucracies. What request do you make?"

"Different Policy Bureau is the object of cooperation, but it can only be your cooperation object forever."

"That's it." Hearing Delphinium's answer, Lin Xiaolu immediately lost enthusiasm visibly.

"It's just that I don't recommend it."

"A proper sense of mystery and distance can allow us to retain enough goodwill and tacit understanding with each other."

"...What's wrong?" Delphinium slightly raised her eyelids at their strange reaction.

Xia Liang smiled awkwardly: "There is no consensus on this matter."

This answer obviously exceeded the expectations of the two girls.

"You guys, have you misjudged the value of the identity of a magical girl?"

"Speaking of which, where does the junior live now?"

"So they are not afraid of magical girls asking themselves. In fact, they expect you to ask them more than anyone else."

Delphinium's expression was a little stiff, and she couldn't help dragging out her voice.

"Can the Bureau of Different Strategies still do this kind of thing?" Lin Xiaolu seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and said a little strangely, "No, can you still make such a request to the Bureau of Different Strategies?"

"Where I live..."

Obviously, she didn't understand.

Like during the summer vacation, during the daytime, I had special training at Lin Xiaolu's house, and at night I went to Xia Liang's house for tutoring, and delphiniums occasionally picked up Bai Jingxuan, and a few people even went out impromptu to hunt down beasts... Many activities piled up, almost All the magical girls spent a lot of time on the road.

"The Bureau of Different Strategies has no right to drive and manage magical girls, but favors and interests can do this. With the exchange of interests, the Bureau of Different Strategies knows what conditions can make magical girls act for them."

I don't know the reason, but Lin Xiaolu showed extraordinary enthusiasm for "living in Delphinium's house", even more enthusiastic than letting the secret base be set in her own house: "I haven't visited Delphinium's house yet. !"

Lin Xiaolu was obviously a little guilty, so she could only falter and haw: "Anyway, it takes a lot of thinking to find help from the Bureau of Different Strategies? It's just...uh, my lord's thoughts are so complicated."

Tentatively agreeing to Xia Liang's explanation, and thinking about it seriously, Delphinium rubbed her clean chin with one hand, and glanced up: "It's not impossible, but can't we directly set the location at one of your homes?"

"Probably... understandable?"

Slightly squinting his eyes, Delphinium shook his head: "As Xiaojin said before, the price of magic materials is quite expensive, and using Echo to exchange materials from the Kingdom is the most cost-effective way. There is no other channel that is better than using contribution points in the Kingdom It's cheaper to exchange."

"Uh... [-]?" Lin Xiaolu said somewhat uncertainly, "I have no idea about these."

It's okay during the holidays, but after school starts, such a schedule will become a problem.

"Actually, we've already discussed it, but what about it, hahaha..."

Xia Liang asked curiously: "I remember Xiao Lu said that you came from another place, but you should live in Fangting City now?"

Delphinium sighed inwardly.

Xia Liang on the side nodded his chin, and said with a subtle attitude: "In that case, we can only find a special venue?"

This sentence also aroused Lin Xiaolu's interest.

Nodding her head, she affirmed the reaction of the two, Delphinium said with some earnestness: "Don't underestimate the intricate power relations in the city government, or even the interests involved between cities."

"Um……"

Delphinium raised her eyebrows: "Don't say anything else, just the egg-level beasts you have defeated in the past few months. If you take all those echoes to the kingdom and exchange them for money, how much do you think it will be?"

"That's why, senior, you let me establish contact with the Different Strategy Bureau as late as possible?" Xia Liang thought more, "I haven't confirmed a contact person in the Different Strategy Bureau until now. In fact, they are more anxious?"

Delphinium was actually thinking about this aspect, but he didn't expect that before he could formulate a plan, the two newcomers had already proposed a plan.

popping.

"Forget it, just remember one thing, and try to solve the things you can solve by yourself; if you ask the Bureau of Different Strategies for help, you must appear righteous and confident, and don't be embarrassed."

The two insisted on their own opinions, and they couldn't stop arguing. They quarreled from the dining table all the way out of the house, halfway to Xia Liang's house, and finally in front of Delphinium.

"I actually hope that you don't rely on this mutually beneficial relationship. After all, we are still living in the material world society, and human relations will restrict our actions. The more times you reach out to the Different Policy Bureau, the more embarrassing you will be Deny the request of the Bureau of Different Strategies."

This is also the safest way.

With the help of the Different Policy Bureau and the background, this matter will be much easier to handle, and the selection of the location will be more secretive, which can better prevent it from being discovered by ordinary people.

"Yeah! Is there enough space where the delphinium lives?"

"Magic girls can rely on resources to help them quickly improve their magic power; they need to consume a lot of magic materials if they want to research and develop spells; if they want to make equipment or conduct experiments, they need a lot of materials."

"Of course, there will also be the kind of magical girls who use the Different Strategy Bureau as a servant, driving the Different Strategy Bureau to do their best, only taking benefits and never helping. This is certainly possible, but it will hurt each other over time partnership."

"Secret base..."

Regarding whether this "secret base" should be set up in someone's home, or whether they should go out alone and find another place, the two of them have already experienced a round of disputes.

Following the steps Xia Liang gave to lead the topic away without a trace, Delphinium secretly heaved a sigh of relief: "If you follow our previous requirements and consider the needs of special training, it may be a single-family building, so the environment will be more difficult. more suitable."

She didn't ask Xia Liang, because she knew that Xia Liang's sensitivity in these matters was enough for her to quickly understand what she said.

"Eh!"

In the end, it became the current situation: put the problem in front of the delphinium and let the delphinium make the decision.

"The Bureau of Different Policies has no power and ability to do anything to you in major matters. But they are official agencies, representing the government to a certain extent, and have enough power in the city to disgust you in various small matters. There's nothing wrong with you making trouble."

Although she knew that her daughter was probably at this level, and the other party's performance did not deviate from her expectations, she still felt a little complicated.

"It's expensive, isn't it?"

Lin Xiaolu felt that her home was bigger, and she could sleep more people at once; Xia Liang emphasized that there was no one else in her home, so it was more free to conduct semi-secret activities like magical girls.

"It's only at this time that I feel that the junior is worthy of being an adult." Xia Liang applauded lightly from the side.

"Well... Anyway, delphinium is very powerful!" Lin Xiaolu clapped her hands belatedly.

"Ahem, that's all the gossip."

Embarrassed by the compliments from the two children, Delphinium coughed slightly with a straight face: "It's time to get down to business, take out all your textbooks, and let's go to class!"
