"I didn't think you have this kind of skill before, not bad."
Watching me quickly tapping the keyboard of the college terminal, Aliyah said beside me in boredom.
"The person who designed this system is from the same world like us, so this system is very similar to windows, if I hack it with the same method, I can get the administrator's permission. This world is not the same as our world, not all machines are watched by administrators, and naturally I will not be found. But the first time that let me have the idea to hack it was when Fran gave me the terminal interferer of the 'Red Leaf'. I opened it directly and found that its program is for bypassing the administrator's program to start the communication panel directly. So, taking advantage of that, I expanded its function to full function by referring to what’s mentioned above. Fortunately, most of this system does not use the magic pattern as their running program, otherwise it would be painful for people like me who completely failed in magic theory. Well, it is directly connected."
I pressed the enter key, after the reading is end, many folders appeared in front of us.
"It's just like windows!"
Aliyah exclaimed.
"It's an early windows system with so many bugs that it's actually not that hard to figure it out. Although no all of the information has been input yet, the existing data is quite enough."
"So, you're going to use this terminal to search?"
"Of course, although I do not know which companion gave this technology to the world, but what he hoped is that we can get the information we want through such a method, right?"
"You need to have enough computer skills to do that, I can't do it at all."
Aliyah sighed, but she approached me at the end.
"And then, what you're looking for is ......"
"A direct search, of course."
After saying that, I typed the words 'human body modification' directly into the search bar.
But its speed is really slow, I really do not know what kind of searching engine it is launched. Don't expect something like optical fiber, it just won’t exist in this world.
So now I can only stare at the progress bar.
"Its speed is really slow, it's unbearable."
"You might just bear it, I know it's very hard for you to wait, but even if you cut the terminal, it still won't speed up."
"I know, it's just that I am getting boring. Speaking of which, are you just going to keep wasting your time inside this academy? There's no way to level up here, right?"
"I know, but there is no other thing I can do for now. I can't learn the skills outside, but only in this academy can I learn the skills I want to learn."
"Are you an idiot? Are you really going to follow the rules of the academy and wait for leveling up and learn skills?"
Aliyah looked at me like I am an idiot.
"Eh? Aren't you the same?"
"Aren't all the skills in this world stored in skill books? Just find a way to get the books, won't you?"
"Easy for you to say."
I gave her a helpless look.
"If I could get the books directly, why would I need you to tell me about that?"
"Then I ask you, where is your books?"
"Where's what book?"
Aliyah hit me on the head.
"Ouch, can't you not knock me like you are attacking me? Or just team up with me first and then hit me?"
"Sure."
"Ding"
Aliyah joined your team
Then I got another hit on my head.
Well, this time my HP isn’t reduced, so I can just ignore it.
"Okay, back to the topic. If you know the book you are looking for is in the library, why just steal it?"
"Do you think I didn't think of that before? But the library is surrounded by all kinds of magic traps, unless I have advanced or high rank trap disarming and detection skills, otherwise how should I take the books."
"I can."
Aliyah pointed to herself.
"I learned a lot of methods to disarm traps and unlock them from a guy who likes to pick locks in the academy. And not like the way of learning skills, of course, I actually learned that"
She took out a string of things that looks like key strings, but in fact it is a large string of various different thicknesses of wire.
"Also, I use magic trap inspection glasses and magic sensing radar to disarm whatever traps I meet."
Seeing these things in front of me, I was so excited that I directly shook Aliyah's hand.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier if you have such good things! Teach me how to use it! And where I could buy these things!"
"Ahhhh, okay, okay! You ...... if you want, first let go of your hand."
"Oh."
I let Aliyah go, and then proceeded to ask.
"Say it, where in the world did you go to buy these gadgets."
"In black market, you need to find a larger city where you can find a black market, and then you can buy anything, as long as you have enough money."
"Really, it does look like I need to go outside the academy to have a look. Now I shall just go to steal the books first."
"Take it easy, you're almost done downloading your information, right?"
"Oh, right."
Looking at the screen, there is already a lot more information about body modification on it.
"Although there is a password required, but the ultra-remote administrator authority is invincible."
Opening the folder on top, I frowned again.
"What's all this stuff? automatic regeneration transformation on human body? From a church data center? Oh my God, they have done this kind of experiment?"
"Well, they have formal healing magic, so it's normal to put that stuff to human body to make it regenerate infinitely."
"What about this? The skin metallization modificaiton, and it is irreversible, it is simply insane."
"Well, that's not our point, is it?"
"That's right."
After adding the condition 'Simu' inside the search, there is only one folder left on the system.
"It seems our target is obvious, this is ......"
After opening the folder, I froze again.
"What's this ......?"
There is only one file inside with only a title and an address.
"Wireless Generations of Humanoids? the Ais Empire Herndon City East Street 19? What is this?"
"I guess that's supposed to be a hint of the next location, isn't it?"
"It's a pain in the ass to make it look like a puzzle game."
"That's what makes it interesting, isn't it."
"That's true."
"But then we'll just have to find the clues from this pile of files."
"Files?"
In Aliyah's puzzled look, I tossed out a pile of papers.
"Here is what I stole from their house, I thought I could just search for the resources I wanted, but I didn't think that I would have to go through the files now."
"I think ......"
Aliyah curled her lips.
"I think we'd better go steal the book."
