Chapter 50: Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Winter year, January 1.
The first day of school at Gray's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
With the letter of recommendation given by the old fox, Zhou Ming entered the school smoothly.
Became a temporary exchange student in Magic Class 6.
The Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is indeed very large, more than ten times the size of the Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and has more than 1,800 students in a total of 60 classes.
Among the nearly 2,000 students, about half were native students of the Dolan Empire, and more than 800 belonged to the "international students" from the surrounding kingdoms...... The Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which has produced many legendary mages, is very famous and the quality of education is very high, so naturally there are many students with sufficient financial resources to study in this school.
Take Zhou Ming's class 6 as an example, among the more than 30 students, they are basically from noble backgrounds, some children of dukes and earls, some princes and princesses of small kingdoms, and some descendants of wealthy businessmen...... Among these classmates, Zhou Ming is the most inconspicuous.
As for the highly gifted civilians...... One doesn't.
In other words, what is Zhou Ming's purpose in entering Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
Or ask: What was the purpose of his coming to the Dolan Empire?
Learn.
The main purpose is to learn.
He has basically learned all the magic knowledge of the Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he has a more familiar understanding of magic...... But not yet to the point of mastery.
With more resources and richer knowledge at Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Zhou Ming naturally would not let go of this opportunity to learn and communicate and enhance his further understanding of magic.
Because the deeper the understanding of magic, the more benefits Zhou Ming gets.
One of the most prominent points is that his meditation cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary magicians.
Without taking the [Tranquilizer], his meditation speed is 145% of that of the popular magicians.
i.e. 1.45 times.
Coupled with the double meditation time bonus of [Tranquilizer], his meditation speed is 2.9 times that of the common magician.
That is, he meditates for one day, which is almost equivalent to three days for other magicians.
What a terrifying speed, like opening a plug-in.
Why was his cultivation speed so fast?
System.
The system in his brain helped him accelerate his cultivation.
Because of the powerful computing power of the system, and then using his body as the simulation object, the meditation method is constantly optimized, so that it can achieve the most efficient, fastest, and least consumed cultivation state...... As a result, the effect of VIP membership acceleration is realized.
And the system, like the "brain chip" in some wizard streams, is only strong but not weak.
Therefore, with the assistance of the system, Zhou Ming does not have to buy other props except for buying a few [probability cards]...... The system is the biggest plug-in.
Of course, the "nourishment" required for this plug-in "evolution" method is an infinite amount of magical knowledge.
The more knowledge you acquire, the greater the "bonus effect" that the system achieves.
After entering the Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Zhou Ming aimed at the school's library with more than 50,000 volumes.
Zhou Ming wanted to enter the school library and sweep away the 50,000 volumes.
But......
He's just an exchange student from outside.
The library only opened the lowest floor to him, and gave him access to 5,000 books.
Nine floors above, he had no way to enter.
It was useless to go to Principal Bram Field...... Personal relationships are bigger than rules and regulations.
Unless, he has made a more outstanding contribution to the school.
Therefore, Zhou Ming honestly confessed to the principal that he was an "intermediate pharmacist" and wanted to apply for a pharmacy laboratory, hire two assistants, and buy some medicinal materials through the school's channels.
"Okay, yes!" said Bramm, cheerfully.
A week after getting the lab.
Zhou Ming's "Leilin Pharmacy" opened.
A total of eight potions are sold, including [Tranquilizer], [Healing Elixir], and [Mana Restorer].
Among them, [Tranquilizer] is distributed in large quantities, with no limit on the number of purchases, and the price is amazingly low.
The price of [Tranquilizer] with a price of 1000 gold coins/bottle, students of Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, enjoy a 50% discount, only 500 gold coins/bottle.
School teachers and professors enjoy a three-fold discount, only 300 gold coins per bottle.
And in order to thank the school for providing the venue and medicinal materials, Zhou Ming donated 20% of the profit (after deducting all costs) to the school.
All of a sudden, the magic potions of the "Thunderlin Apothecary" sold out completely.
On average, more than 500 bottles of various medicines are sold a day, which basically occupies the market of the entire school.
Even many magicians outside the school have purchased relatively cheap magic potions from the "Thunderlin Apothecary" through various channels.
In the face of the price butcher "Leilin Pharmacy", many apothecaries expressed strong dissatisfaction, and even the pharmacists who came to him to trouble him, but there was the entire "Gray Magic School" standing by Zhou Ming's side, and these small troubles were of course easy to deal with.
Naturally, Zhou Ming quickly became the "man of the hour" of Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and became a popular representative.
As a reward for his outstanding contributions, the right to read magic books on the fifth floor of the school library was released to him.
In order to get the reading permission of the above five layers of magic books, Zhou Ming made persistent efforts, and in the next two months, he released two more big moves.
The first ultimate: Magic Flying Machine.
He joined forces with the Continental Chamber of Commerce to launch a "magic flying machine" for personal use - a flying backpack.
This kind of flying backpack is somewhat similar to the "flying backpack" in the modern world, its structure is small, it is carried on the back, and there is a miniature "wind demon engine" with a maximum thrust of about 200 kilograms at the tail, plus a set of about 20 kilograms of windproof armor, plus a small magic stone held in the right hand, and a small amount of magic patterns - after being poured into the magic power, a set of flying backpack can drag a magician weighing less than 120 kilograms to fly freely.
Due to the design principle of "how fast and how easy it is", the cost of such a set of magic "flying backpacks" is about 15,000 gold coins (80% of the magic stones).
As for the price of the flight backpack:
Beggar's version: 50,000 gold coins set.
Local tyrant version: a set of 150,000 gold coins.
Then in about two months, nearly 2,000 sets of two versions of the flight backpack were sold.
In the sky above the Imperial City of Kaira in the Dolan Empire, a large number of magicians can be seen flying around in the sky every day, drawing various trajectories.
Anyway, why is the flying rucksack so popular with magicians?
It's nothing more than two points.
One, long stay in the air, very long.
Even a junior mage with only 20 units of mana in his body can be in the air for about 30 minutes.
And a Level 3 wind magic "Flying Technique" that requires 10 units of mana to release is only a little more than 10 seconds in the air.
Two, flying fast, very fast.
Due to wearing windproof armor, it is quite easy to fly out of 300 kilometers per hour, and it is not impossible to increase the power and fly at a speed of four or five hundred kilometers per hour, but the product manual says that "the maximum speed shall not exceed 200 kilometers".
And by selling nearly 2,000 sets of flying backpacks, Zhou Ming made a lot of money.
A net profit of 80 million gold coins!
Zhou Ming, who got 60 million gold coins, immediately became the richest man in the Dolan Empire, the undisputed richest man.
He immediately took out 20 million gold coins and donated them to the school in the name of building a new library for Gray School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
So he was given access to the magic books on the fourth floor of the library...... The library on the tenth floor was open to him on the ninth floor.
There was still the last floor, the tenth floor of the library, which only stored 500 volumes of magic books, and was not open to him.
It is also unlikely to be open to him.
"The tenth floor is stored with some knowledge about [Forbidden Spell Magic], and those who are not Legendary Mages or above are not allowed to enter, dear Lei Lin, when you become a Legendary Mage, go to the top layer. ”
Headmaster Bram said that the destructive power of forbidden magic is amazing, and it can even destroy a small kingdom, and that all countries keep forbidden magic strictly secret to prevent it from leaking.
Zhou Ming nodded, indicating that he knew.
But that doesn't mean he just gave up.
He also has an ultimate, and once released, he guarantees that he can qualify for the tenth floor of the library...... Just enter for 3 hours.
And the object of his big move is no longer Principal Bram, but a higher-level character:
Emperor of the Dolan Empire – Cassinger Picarrot.
