Chapter 102: The Lorain Crisis
Alice didn't bring that many gold coins today, she gave all the six gold coins on her body to Chen Luo, and then went home.
Chen Luo noticed that when Senior Sister Alice left, she seemed to be a little unhappy.
Talking about money is really a hurtful thing, these gold coins, Chen Luo will return them to her as soon as possible, but the money of the Mathematics Association is not easy to earn, because of the many restrictions of combined magic, it is difficult for him to make money on the side of the Magic Association.
Chen Luo regretted a little, he should have listened to Jasmine's words, he shouldn't have spent all those gold coins, it was nothing to learn one less magic, but with a few hundred more gold coins, he would not be so embarrassed now.
He used the only gold coins he had to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, if Isabella didn't come again, the money would not last a few days, Chen Luo needed to find a way to make some more money as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, although Isabella is not as gentle as Alice, she is more generous than Alice, and when she gives Chen Luo gold coins, she never frowns, and she really didn't choose her in vain.
Of course, Chen Luo is still very grateful to Alice, and it is too unpersonal to blame others for being ungenerous when he borrows money.
Chen Luo doesn't like to owe others, and as soon as he has money, he will pay it back to her immediately.
It would be nice if Isabella was here, Chen Luo could borrow some from her first, Isabella is a pro-senior sister after all, and it is better to owe her money than to Alice.
Thinking of making money, Chen Luo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.
After living for two lifetimes, it was the first time he had such a great desire to make money.
With the increase of his magic level, the mouth of the Magic Association will definitely open wider and wider, and this way of making money with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west is not a long-term solution after all.
He should find a way to make money that is consistent and stable and does not waste too much of his energy.
It's just that investing in a small business with big gains is so easy to do.
In order to find this way to make money, Chen Luo has been thinking hard for two days.
At the dinner table, looking at Chen Luo, who was holding chopsticks and didn't know how many times he had fallen into a trance, Britney showed a worried look on her face, and asked with concern: "Blair, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Luo came back to his senses, put down his chopsticks, and said, "No, it's okay." ”
Britney looked at him and said, "You don't look right for the past two days, Blair, are you not feeling well, do you want me to ask a doctor to help you take a look?"
Chen Luo shook his head and said, "Teacher Britney, I'm fine, but I miss my family a little." ”
Britney thought for a moment and said, "There's an important meeting of the Mathematical Society today, and I know Blair isn't interested in that, but can you come with me?"
Chen Luo knew that Teacher Britney wanted to take him out for a walk, although he didn't have the heart to attend any meetings, but it was not good to refuse Teacher Britney's kindness.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes......"
......
The year that is about to pass in the mathematics community of the Kingdom of Lorrain is the year that belongs to the Mathematics Chapter of the City of Apo.
The discovery of irrational numbers, the Edwin Prize, and the resolution of the problems that the association has accumulated over the years are all related to the Apor chapter.
The mathematicians of the city of Arpo are proud of this.
However, in the past few days, among the mathematical associations, the glory of the scholars is gone, and the atmosphere is gloomy.
Their sorrow and indignation came from the group of visiting scholars in the Kingdom of Gaya.
These visiting scholars of mathematics in the Kingdom of Gaya, after entering the Kingdom of Loran, visited the mathematical associations of each city one by one, and whenever they went, they would solve the problem of the bounties of those branches by the way.
All the bounty problems of the Loren scholars were solved in the hands of these visiting scholars, and they took the bounty.
Bounties are small, honors are big.
This is a disgrace to the mathematical community of the Kingdom of Loland, and it is also a disgrace to the Kingdom of Loland.
In the past, even the scholars of the Gaya Kingdom had a better overall level of mathematics than the Luolan Kingdom, but they would never have been able to do this.
The problem is that the most difficult and difficult bounty problem that the Mathematical Association of the Lorrain Kingdom has accumulated for many years has been solved not long ago.
Although in the past few days, scholars in various places have proposed new reward topics, but the difficulty of those topics cannot be compared with those 23 difficult problems.
As a result, after these Gaya visiting scholars entered the Luolan Kingdom, they swept all the mathematical associations of the Luolan Kingdom, almost pressing the face of the mathematical community of the Luolan Kingdom to the ground......
The city of Arpo is their last stop, the Mathematics Branch of the City of Arpo, the last fig leaf of the Mathematical Association of the Kingdom of Loland.
The success or failure of the Apo City Chapter is not only related to the honor of the Kingdom of Loran, but also the Ottous Empire to which Loland belongs.
The Kingdom of Gaya did not have vassals of the Oss Empire, they were backed by the Farr Empire, one of the four great empires.
The honor of the kingdom, the honor of the empire, the pressure from all sides, all pressed on the Mathematics Branch of the City of Apo.
As the vice president of the Apor City Mathematics Branch, the burden of maintaining Lorain's glory fell on Calvin's shoulders while the president was traveling.
Calvin is stressed these days.
In a few days, his whole person looked a lot haggard, since the twenty-three difficult questions were solved by the adult, although there were sporadic bounty questions in Apo City, but they would soon be solved, and now, almost a bounty question could not be obtained.
If it weren't for an algebra problem provided by the Herman family, which slightly blocked the footsteps of the visiting scholars of the Gaya Kingdom, the last fig leaf of Apo City would have been ruthlessly torn off by the Gaya scholars.
Faced with the best group of scholars in the Kingdom of Gaya, Calvin felt helplessness from the depths of his soul for the first time.
Ordinary topics can't stop those visiting scholars at all, but they can't embarrass those people with some questions that don't have any meaning and obviously can't be answered, which will only make the Mathematical Association of the Kingdom of Loland a joke.
Where is it so easy to ask a meaningful math problem?
Calvin regretted that if Lord Blair had not asked the question of irrational numbers a few months ago, the situation might have been different today.
That simple question, which contains the existence of irrational numbers, is the question of Lord Blair, which changed the entire mathematical community------ and this is the real meaningful question.
If that question had been raised today, the progress of the visiting scholars of the Kingdom of Gaya would have stopped here, and not only would the city of Apo have restored the glory of Lorraine, but the history of mathematics would have been changed in this event.
Thinking of this, Calvin's eyes couldn't help but look at the corner of the conference room.
In response to the crisis from the Gaya scholars, he urgently summoned all the honorary scholars in the city of Apo, including the two Edwin Prize winners.
Originally, Blair should have sat on his lower left, after all, he was the biggest dark horse in mathematics this year, and that honorable position originally belonged to him.
But he refused Calvin's arrangement and took the initiative to sit in the corner of the conference room.
In that corner, there was the honorary scholar of the Howard family, and the position of the Howard family should have been at the front, but after the irrational numbering incident, the number faction almost collapsed, and the status of the Howard family was replaced by other families.
Able Howard sat in the corner, felt a sight coming from the opposite corner, looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Lord Blair, is there something on my face?"
Since just now, this young scholar has been looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
Chen Luo said expressionlessly: "No." ”
Abel said, "Then why do you keep looking at me?"
Chen Luo looked away, he was not a person who couldn't afford to lose, although Abel intercepted his beard and made him lose fifty gold coins, but the other party relied on his real talent and learning, and he had nothing to say.
It's just hard to get over.
Seeing that Chen Luo no longer looked at him, Able put away the doubts in his heart, but after a while, he felt the unkind gaze from the opposite side again.
Abel looked at Chen Luo again and said, "Your Excellency Blair, I apologize to you again for the matter of Feiqi, the Several Factions and the Howard family have already paid the price for his actions, aren't you still satisfied?"
Chen Luo looked at Abel and said, "Actually, there is something on your face. ”
Abel stretched out his hand and touched his face, but he didn't find any foreign objects on his face, and was about to ask again, but found that Chen Luo on the other side had begun to close his eyes and recuperate.
His lips opened, and he didn't say anything more.
At the front, after a long silence, Calvin spoke again: "Don't you have any good suggestions?"
After another long silence, he slowly stood up, even bent down a lot, and said unwillingly: "Shame, shame, is the gap between my Luolan and Gaya scholars so big......"
At that moment, a deacon walked in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing what he said, Calvin shook his head and said: "What about His Majesty's reward of five thousand gold coins, they will leave the day after tomorrow, Yapo City, there is no one who can stop them, this is the end of today's meeting, let's disperse......"
"Wait......"
Everyone was about to leave, and suddenly a voice came from the corner of the conference room.
At the same time, Chen Luo, who was leaning back in the chair and closing his eyes, opened his eyes suddenly.
