Chariot: "Are you finally setting off?!"
Tower: "While I can't cross regions like The Fool, exploring the Forgotten Land is a good option. It’s better than staying cooped up at home forever."
High Priestess: "Nonsense. How can going out be more comfortable than staying at home?"
The High Priestess was immediately displeased. Everyone was perfectly happy staying in their shelters; why did they have to go out?
Tower: "You don't have to, of course. But I'm an alchemist—I have to go out and see the world."
This was the perfect time to use her identity as an excuse.
As an alchemist, what was wrong with going for a walk? It was the most normal thing in the world.
The Star: "Tower, give me your pointed hat for a second."
Ruan Qingyi suddenly sent a message.
Tower: "?"
The Star: "Just give it to me. I'll give you a buff."
Lan Qingyou frowned slightly. Though she didn't know what it was, she still gave the pointed hat to her.
After all, the other woman was a master enchanter. Since she said she was giving the hat a buff, it certainly wouldn't be anything bad.
About five minutes later, Ruan Qingyi returned the witch's pointed hat.
The Star: "I've added a snug-fit enchantment to your hat. That way, even if you're flying at high speeds, your hat won't be blown away by the wind. It's a must-have for travel."
Well, then. And here she was wondering what it was going to be.
In the end, she had just applied this kind of enchantment?
What, did she think the hat's surface area was so large that she could just do whatever she wanted with it?
To be fair, she really could.
Even though the hat already had several enchantments, there was still plenty of empty space. Adding a few more wouldn't be a problem at all.
The Star: "Once you're out, pay as much attention as possible to the Extreme Deep Blue Witch Set. If there's any discomfort or if you have any ideas, tell me anytime."
See? She was still treating her like a lab rat for her experiments.
But who would refuse such a small experiment?
At least, Lan Qingyou didn't think she could refuse.
Tower: "No problem."
Because of the cards, even without communication through the world or regional channels, Lan Qingyou could leave whenever she wanted since trading and storage were still functional.
Lan Qingyou slung the little yellow duck crossbody bag she had found when she first arrived in this world over her shoulder.
Although it didn't quite match her aesthetic, it was very convenient for carrying small items and cards that she might need at any moment.
When she had time later, she could ask Ruan Qingyi to modify it or just make a new crossbody bag herself.
After putting her alchemy station, crucible, stirring rod, toiletries, bedding, and magic lantern inside the tent and storing it in a card, it only took up a single slot.
It was the definition of convenient.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the magic desk couldn't be moved out of the shelter or stored in a card, she would have planned to take that as well.
So, in the end, the only thing she took was a non-functional magic desk she had found earlier in the ruined shelter.
She would just use it as a dining table.
Before leaving, she sent a message to Professor Seymer, saying she would be out for a few days to look for medicinal herbs and that lessons would be paused for the time being.
Professor Seymer didn't say much in response, only telling Lan Qingyou to be careful.
After all, he didn't want to lose such a talented student.
As for how Lan Qingyou would survive once she was out, that wasn't for him to ask.
"Steel Wool, get on."
She waved to Steel Wool, and it smoothly took its place at the front of Lan Qingyou's Magic Broom, while Lan Qingyou sat sideways on it.
"Well then, let's head out. My first exploration of another world."
A bit excited and a bit nervous, Lan Qingyou licked her sexy vermilion lips and directly turned the mana thruster to its third gear.
Whoosh—!
A powerful gust of wind blew past, and Lan Qingyou's broom carried her straight into the air.
The shelter door slowly closed behind her.
After flying to a certain height and checking her bearings, Lan Qingyou headed northwest.
She had already made up her mind when she first planned to go out.
Oh, the sea—you’re nothing but water. She had to visit a place like that, which she had only ever seen on the internet and never with her own eyes.
There was also the volcano Li Huai had mentioned that she had to check out.
And of course, there was the most important place she had to visit first: the city ruins located in the northwest of the Abandoned Land.
Even though it was just ruins, there were still many shelters there.
Who knew, she might find something good.
After all, she had found many world-class legacies left behind by Albert right where she was, which had allowed her to skyrocket in power.
Moreover, she had rare items like the identification glasses; she could definitely handle the things others might overlook.
To put it bluntly, she was going to scavenge for overlooked treasures.
It would be best if she found something, but even if she didn't, she wouldn't lose anything by treating it as a trip.
Of course, the most important part of this trip was to broaden her horizons, so not long after setting off, Lan Qingyou slowed down and lowered her altitude.
She had to admit, flying a Magic Broom with a mana thruster was exhilarating. The thrill was like speeding on a highway without having to worry about crashing; it was addictive.
If it weren't for the goal of finding more rare herbs, Lan Qingyou probably would have stayed in the air a while longer.
In passing, Lan Qingyou also uploaded things she found that weren't in the Monster Encyclopedia or Plant Encyclopedia.
However, because she was using her identification glasses, the descriptions weren't as complete as those from the small screen.
Although The Fool had also uploaded some, his were truly just incidental.
He would upload things if he encountered them on his journey, unlike Lan Qingyou, who specifically stopped to look for them.
The Emperor: "@Tower, has the boss already headed out?"
When noon arrived and Lan Qingyou was about to find a place to camp and eat, Gu Xiaobei sent a message in the group.
It looked like she had finished her busiest period.
Anyone who frequently ran a restaurant knew that the morning and late morning were the busiest times for the entire establishment.
So, Gu Xiaobei’s chatting time was basically concentrated around noon, afternoon, and night.
Sometimes, when she was busy, she wouldn't even have a chance to chat in the afternoon.
Tower: "I'm out. I've already uploaded quite a few plants."
Lan Qingyou sat on a tree trunk, her legs dangling as she held her Magic Broom and cards.
The Emperor: "Then do you want to come sit in my restaurant?"
Tower: "Oh! That sounds great. Give me the coordinates; I'll go when I'm free."
Seeing Gu Xiaobei invite her, Lan Qingyou agreed without a second thought.
Although the other girl's restaurant was very strange, it was precisely because of that that she wanted to go and see it for herself.
Wasn't the point of this trip to gain new experiences?
Furthermore, she didn't need to worry about the other party attacking her. The Fool had already experienced it personally, and with the entire Tarot Villa backing her, she didn't need to worry about safety.
Seeing Lan Qingyou say this, Gu Xiaobei quickly sent the coordinates. When Lan Qingyou looked at them, she saw that they happened to be in the direction of the ruins.
It was just a bit further north than the city ruins, situated at the foot of the mountains.
It was quite a good location.
If the city ruins weren't ruins but a functioning city, opening a rural resort at the location of Gu Xiaobei's restaurant would definitely make a fortune.
