Magic Punk

Xuan Yi lifted off the canvas covering his body, then peeled off the coal gangue covering his body, looked at the brilliant starry sky above his head, and let out a long sigh of relief.

No one can get out of Star City after the Great Ring.

But stuff can.

For example, coal.

Although the steam engine only built a few models due to its relatively low conversion efficiency and bulky size and was replaced by the more efficient and portable magic engine, after all, crystals and Warcraft crystal cores are more suitable energy sources.

However, coal, a mineral, still has extremely high value in industry. Putting aside simple heating purposes, steelmaking alone requires a large supply of coal. Moreover, as the transformation magic circle matures, coal combustion produces The fire element can be converted into photoelectric elements very efficiently, which not only facilitates storage and transportation, but also can charge the crystal.

So hundreds of years have passed, and the world's demand for coal has remained high.

Just like the famous saying said by Yongyao Supreme.

Magic is power, everything about us is magic.

It's just that light and electricity are the most important magic.

There is an open-pit coal mine with huge reserves outside the slums of Star City. Since over-exploitation was restricted hundreds of years ago, there is still abundant coal output to this day.

In addition to supplying its own needs, more of this coal requires freight trains to be transported around the clock to several large steel plants in Hoshimori County.

Temporarily cutting off the coal transportation in Star City will of course have a great impact on the production of the steel plant, but judging from the will of the big shots this time, I am afraid they will not care too much about these impacts.

But unfortunately, this is an absolute blind spot of vision.

Hundreds of years have passed, and these trains running along fixed tracks have gradually no longer needed drivers. They operate almost fully automatically. They only need someone to load the goods at the starting point, and they will transport the coal along the tracks to the destination. Where it should go, these round-the-clock trains carry the black industrial gold that builds the foundation of Star City's prosperity.

But in fact, few people realize that this train designed to pull coal can actually carry people.

You can even take people out of Star City.

Of course, this function has no use on ordinary days, but at times like this, it becomes particularly important.

Of course, if Star City was given a little longer time, Star City could make up for this loophole, but the incident happened too suddenly. Even though Dark Star's efficiency was incredibly high, Xuan still took the lead step by step, and finally escaped from Star City in a dangerous way. Escaped.

Just like the Ninth Princess detection agent that was already extremely fast, but was a step too slow.

As for why Xuan Yi had to leave the city instead of finding a hotel to stay in the city as Xing Jizhi said, there are many reasons, but there is only one most important reason.

Xuanyi is very poor and cannot afford to stay in a hotel.

Of course, he would rather go home.

So after letting the taxi take him and the sleeping girl to Dou Li Lane, paying the remaining amount, and confirming that the other party had left, he carried the girl who was still half asleep and got into a truck that was about to leave. After the coal train passed through the underground tunnel, they were already outside Star City when they saw the light of day again.

Xuan Yi looked at the girl next to him. Under the starlight, her appearance was faint.

He was originally unwilling to bring this Lanye aristocratic girl with unknown origins and extraordinary background, but it was very dangerous for her to be in Star City alone in such a dazed state. At this time, Xuan Yi had already judged her state. It was not that he was drunk, but that he had taken some tranquilizing drugs.

And these drugs made the girl's situation even more dangerous.

If it was Lan Liuyan, she could naturally open a separate room for the girl and let her sleep there. When she woke up in the morning, she would only see the room card next to her and two or three bills that were enough for breakfast and bus tickets.

This is the true gesture of doing good things, but a poor guy like Xuan Yi cannot do it.

So he could only reluctantly save her to the end, take her with him out of Star City, and if possible, let her sleep at home. It would not be too late to ask her about her calendar when she wakes up tomorrow, and then send her back properly.

Thinking like this, Xuan Yi couldn't help but cover his head - what kind of evil did I have? Or maybe I lost my head by taking the Lotus Rejuvenation Potion.

How can a person like him have the qualifications and leisure to help others?

The boy lowered his head, picked up the sleeping girl in a princess hug, and then jumped off the speeding train.

Finally, we're almost home.

…

…

When Xuan Yi returned to the low wooden house with the girl in his arms, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

He took out the key and opened the door, and a familiar smell hit his face. He smelled the faint fragrance of his sister, and felt much relieved.

Then the boy carried the other person into the wooden house, closed the door with his feet, and then found a match to light the oil lamp. Under the dim light, the sleeping girl had a sweet face.

He put the girl on his bed. During the more than half a month since he left, his sister kept his room in its original state, and it looked like it was cleaned frequently.

Then the boy picked up the wine bottle on his bedside, shook it and poured himself a small half glass of wine. He was about to drink it to quench his thirst and help himself stabilize his mood, when he heard the girl's voice.

The other party opened his eyes and looked at him with bright amber eyes: I want to drink too!

You are no different from being drunk now. Xuan Yi mocked the other party lightly, and then drank the wine in the glass: So please take back your stupid words.

However, the girl has no intention of taking it back at all. She is now half asleep and half awake, and everything she sees is regarded as a dream: Where is this place? The utility room?

Be respectful, this is my room. Xuan Yi told her the truth quietly, then pointed to the floor: By the way, you can only sleep on the floor, I will give you a straw mat.

Sleeping on the floor? the girl repeated, and then said with a smile: How interesting? Can you sleep on the floor too?

Saying this, she opened her arms towards Xuan: Please change my clothes.

Xuan Yi looked at each other.

The girl is far from beautiful, but her facial features are well-proportioned and give her a very comfortable feeling.

She has long dark brown hair and amber eyes. Such physical features are standard for pariahs in Star City. Even in the Lanye Empire, they are not standard features for mainstream nobles. Therefore, it can be speculated that her status in the Lanye Empire is not the same. would be too high.

However, when the other party opened his arms and closed his eyes without warning, and said these four words, please change my clothes, Xuan Yiyi felt that his heart was suddenly hit slightly.

He reached out unconsciously, unbuttoned the other person's collar, pulled off the tie, and saw the girl's white and translucent collarbone. The girl closed her eyes tightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, just like the trembling wings of a young bird.

Xuan Yi's hand holding the tie trembled slightly. For some reason, he just couldn't make the next move.

So he put the tie he took off into the girl's hand.

I've already taken off one piece for you, please do the rest yourself.

Saying this, the boy ducked into his sister's room and closed the door.

(The idea of ​​taking off the tie here is also from Roman Holiday.

I will explain the references to Roman Holiday in these plots. )
