Chapter 1112: 376. Making cement? Isn’t that just about having hands?_3

"You got home okay?" Sister Pomegranate asked:

"I was planning to keep you here for a few more days, but you left after only two, all in a rush—did something happen at home?"

"No," Meng Ha replied, looking up at the gas lamp hanging at the end of the corridor, seemingly contemplating the principles behind its operation, and casually added, "It’s due to other things. Remember the ’lockdown’ I mentioned to you on the way from the airport to your place? It’s already being implemented, and it’s probably coming your way soon. From what I’ve gathered through some channels, this lockdown is going to be nationwide, with an unknown duration, but the overall situation doesn’t seem promising. Overseas, chaos is already rampant; we are engaging in defensive self-protection. You guys should stay put during this time. It’s good to stay home, play some games, pump some iron, and by the way, send me your current weight, measurements, and body data, I’ll make a training plan for you for free, just like our old ’perfect cooperation’."

"That serious?" Sister Pomegranate was startled and said, rubbing her head, "I’ve been so absorbed in games these days, I haven’t paid much attention to the real news; I just heard Lumina complaining in the group that things are getting out of control over there, and she’s planning to return to the country to avoid it all."

"Oh, right, Lumina, the student studying abroad, right?" Meng Ha squinted her eyes and then said grinning, "Take me to meet them, will you? I’m quite curious to see what kind of remarkable woman it is that could make someone as proud and headstrong as my Sister Pomegranate obediently play the role of a team member instead of fighting for the team leader’s throne. I had thought you had changed your temperament."

"Behave," Sister Pomegranate pushed Meng Ha, who was leaning against her, and said, "First, I’ll take you to get registered, get the Calculating Pearl and the Spiritual Energy dog tag, then you can take a look around the city. Tonight, Lumina and her crew will be bringing back a new batch of refugees from Bataxin City to settle down. I’ll introduce you to them then, and you’ll officially be the Spiritual Energy Master Mage of the Silver Moon Pride Team!"

"Tsch, I don’t want to learn any spells," Meng Ha pouted and said, "I am a physicist, you get it? I worship Einstein and Paul, the great gods! Even though those ’ancestral spirits’ can’t reach this place, this sudden change from a steadfast materialist to a user of mysterious cosmic energy is too much for me—I’m afraid the ’ancestral spirits’ will come to scold me in my dreams, calling me an unworthy descendant."

"But didn’t your family’s Lord Duke ultimately convert to theology?" Sister Pomegranate laughed heartily and confidently summoned her Gargoyle, giving herself and her friend a taste of the joy of flight. If it weren’t afternoon, and if the Vampire players weren’t reluctant to fly in this kind of environment, Sister Pomegranate would definitely have Meng Ha fly up into the sky, side by side with the sun itself. The friendship between her and Meng Ha was different from that with the other members of the Silver Moon Group. After all, even if they play well, it’s still just a "net friend relationship," but Meng Ha is a true good friend she’s known for years. Back in the day, when this fellow was a poor graduate student, Sister Pomegranate was the one "supporting" her for a while, and during the most depressed time when Sister Pomegranate retired due to injury, it was Meng Ha who kept her company and comforted her. The two of them had been good friends for many years. In Meng Ha’s words, if it weren’t for the fact that they were the same gender and both oriented normally, Sister Pomegranate would have been her perfect life partner long ago.

"You go about your business; you’re an old player by now, with plenty to keep you busy." After receiving the Calculating Pearl and the Spiritual Energy dog tag and accepting the initial quest from the Adventurer Guild, Meng Ha said to Sister Pomegranate, "Don’t worry about me; I’m just going to stroll around the city by myself. You know me, I’m interested in things that are not quite the same as most people. I’ll start by observing this place in my own way, just tell me a rendezvous point. I’ll go find you directly when it’s time."

"Okay!" Sister Pomegranate had full confidence in her friend’s "survival skills," adding, "Then let’s meet at the corridor entrance at nine-thirty. ’Lady Shui’ is about to open her store in the city’s trade district, and tonight we’re going to clean up for her and move the sewing tools and work crew from the camp over to prepare for next month’s opening. I’ll introduce you to them then; they are all very nice people, and you’ll definitely get along well with them."

"Alright, no problem." Meng Ha gave an OK sign, then watched Sister Pomegranate whistle and summon her demon-hunting steed from the distance before turning and galloping away. That dashing figure made Meng Ha involuntarily swallow her spit. "Ah, how come I’m not a man, or you’re not a man? Ugh, it’s irritating!" The physicist stomped in annoyance, but quickly adjusted her mood and began wandering around casually with hands clasped behind her back. Although she also entered the game with a mission, she wasn’t part of the Official Incorporation of Loyal Brother’s powerful department; if anything, she belonged to the "specially appointed personnel" and consultants, giving her much more freedom compared to Loyal Brother’s crew.

"Lumina·Sun Stain is returning to the country, so Loyalty doesn’t have to worry about her safety anymore, but last time their investigation of ’Teranova’ turning himself in and stating those bizarre reasons was quite surprising," Meng Ha thought to herself. "In Lumina’s small group, there’s a mysterious ’colleague’ researching ’Real Different World,’ and it seems they’ve managed to create a very primitive prototype machine based on the principle of brainwave interference... Is there such a fanatic? Even if she managed to create such a baseless device, would she dare let others use it? Huh? What are those people doing ahead?"

Meng Ha quickly noticed a few young people in the open space ahead, looking troubled by the strange pile of things before them. Driven by her scholarly curiosity, she approached to take a closer look, then with a quirky look commented, "You guys... trying to make cement? But how did you manage to get it looking like this? If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were trying to grow Slimes. Hey, I’m not trying to be rude, but your hands-on ability is kind of poor."
