Chapter 123: Change (2)

The next day, the students were surprised to find another hut next to the newsstand, with a large line written on it.

"Seraf Point Card Trading Center"

Many people learned about the word "point card" from yesterday's newspaper and came over to take a closer look.

Embedded in the exterior wall of the hut is a light curtain, this one with shiny text, marking the face value of the point card and the corresponding price.

"The face value of the 10-hour point card is only 7 gold coins? That's a full 3 gold coins cheaper than buying it outright! Someone exclaimed.

"But who knows if it's true or not? In case it's a joke...... "There are also people who are more hesitant.

"How can it be fake, this is standing side by side next to the newsstand of the Moon Workshop, who in the academy dares to fake?"

While there was a lot of discussion, a person squeezed in.

"Let it, let it."

This man was very tall and looked much more mature than the average student, and he pushed and shoved all the way to the front, and yelled at the box inside, "How many points are there?" I bought them all! ”

"Miya is on top, is this person crazy?"

"Isn't he worried about being deceived?"

"Maybe it's a nobleman with a lot of money......"

But there were also people who seemed to suddenly realize something, and they also desperately squeezed forward, and shouted while squeezing: "Stop him, don't let him buy it all and then sell it to us at a higher price!" ”

This sentence seemed to remind the students present!

That's right! If this is true, at the price of 0.7 gold coins per hour, he can properly sell even 10 silver coins, so that he can buy a lot of gold coins as soon as he changes hands, and this transaction simply can't be more cost-effective......

Damn, why didn't I think of that?

For a while, the onlookers were annoyed, and those who were leaning on the front row hurriedly reached out to pull him.

"Fools, the opportunity is reserved for the brave, it's too late!"

The man said proudly.

But at this time, another line of words popped up on the light curtain,

"Point cards can be purchased with nameplates, and the number of purchases per person per day is as follows: 1 denomination for 10 hours, 2 denominations for 5 hours, and 4 denominations for 1 hour. Daily sales are limited, sold out and closed, so hurry up and buy now. ”

The students were stunned.

Especially the big man who squeezed to the front, the collar of his uniform was about to be torn apart, and he couldn't help but scold angrily when he saw this scene.

"Forget it, don't buy it. Let go, let me go! ”

He broke free of his arms and squeezed out angrily, muttering as he squeezed his mouth:

"A group of fools hesitate when they see such a big bargain, and they don't know how their brains grow...... It's a pity, I thought I could make a lot of money......"

The sound was small, but it was clear to everyone's ears.

It wasn't until he was far away that the group of young men looked at each other, and then squeezed forward as if they had agreed.

He's right, he doesn't take advantage of such an obvious advantage, but he thinks about what he can't deceive, which is too timid, right?

This is in the academy, and if something happens, the academy will naturally bear it, as for the time to buy it for the time being, of course, this is to buy it first! It's a big deal that it can be sold to people who need it urgently, not to mention, there will be people who don't need Seraf's point cards this year?

Most of the students swarmed with this idea in mind, but after the initial riots, they gradually formed an orderly line.

Witnessing this scene, Armand, who slipped into the shadows and took off his uniform, breathed a sigh of relief.

Acting is really tiring.

But it's good to be young.

……

……

The first batch of point cards sold out in two days, with a total of 3,360 gold coins.

These 200 sets and a total of 1,400 cards of various denominations are all "official point cards", in other words, the more you sell, the more you lose.

Dridge's hard lobbying only made more than twenty mages slightly tempted, and it can be seen that the two groups of people led by Samuel and Barry are recruiting mages in the same way, and they have also discovered that the magic infusion list can reflect the strength of mages to some extent, even if this relationship is not linear, but as long as a little screening, you can find real gold from it, so as to expand the strength of the team.

There is quite a sense of the talent war when the game studio forms a wasteland development team.

This was something Mu Yan didn't expect, the series of chemical reactions formed around Seraf came far faster than he imagined.

The effect is twofold, on the one hand, it will further increase the importance of mage indoctrination, but on the other hand, it will also increase the polarization of mage students, or the speed of grouping.

It would be great if it was a natural group, forming a research group in the form of a tea party or discussion group, but now the team formed under the interference of external forces is deformed, after all, Barry and Samuel want to be the doglegs of the nobles, the servants, not the truly independent and free "mage" individuals.

What choices do these people make when they are oppressed and enslaved? Is it like Roy who sticks to his heart and then breaks away? Or do you give up your dreams and live in the moment, as Kuran did...... It all depends on the individual.

Mu Yan's impact will undoubtedly save most people, but he can't influence everyone's choices, whether it is up or down, whether it is up or down, in this change, there will be no essential change.

He can only hope that those who waver can deny themselves, and those who are already firm will still keep their hearts, and that is enough.

-----------------

In the following month, although Seraf's income declined slightly, it still brought Mu Yan a lot of wealth.

In the words of Principal William, the students' pockets were previously emptied only by tuition, and now there is a monster as terrible as tuition.

Careful math seems to be true.

Jialan charges 5,000 gold coins per school year, and it is about 15 gold coins per day. But since Seraf opened, 80% of the students in the school have spent more than 5 gold coins here every day, counting those buddies who are not nervous about classes and can frequently stay up all night, on average, each person throws 7 gold coins into Mu Yan's pocket every day, which has caught up with half of the tuition fee.

In other words, 1/3 of the money in Jialan's students' pockets currently flows to Mu Yan, but even the tuition fees may not all go to Principal William's pocket......

So who runs this academy exactly?

Fortunately, Seraf's experience content is not "plaything", and the rather hardcore and realistic difficulty has become an extension of the classroom to some extent.

At the same time, there was another positive impact that Mu Yan and Principal William did not expect.

That is, the group of people who have been paddling and fishing for a long time in the mentor team have been revealed because of Seraf's presence.

As Mu Yan said, Jialan is like a puddle of mire, in fact, what he didn't expect was that there were not only students in this quagmire, but also mentors.

Moreover, compared with the fact that students are living in a bad way, the impact of the tutor's daily corpse meal is even worse, and it is not easy to be discovered. The two form a perfect dead button, and if there is no intervention of a third party, it is enough to continue this vicious circle.

But Seraf's appearance made the students move, and they learned to verify that what they had learned was accurate and useful in the arena, in the training ground, and in the dungeon. In this way, those mentors who were fishing in troubled waters were suddenly revealed.

After all, not everyone is like Mr. Philip, who can integrate his life experience in the first half of his life into the classroom and teach students really useful things.

So, after realizing that their tuition fees have fallen into the pockets of such people for so many years, the students are also furious, and they are like deceived people who have bought a fake guide, and the complaint letter flies to the principal's office like snowflakes.

For the first time, the headmaster's mailbox, which had been abandoned for a long time and was about to grow hair, sounded an overwhelming alarm.

At the same time, Principal William also experienced the thrill of large-scale layoffs for the first time in a long time......

Speaking of which, the last time he laid off staff was twenty years ago, when a drunken tutor showed up in class drunk, and the repercussions were so strong that it provoked public outrage inside and outside the school, so he had to resort to such extreme measures, and now, almost every day, he has a lot of legitimate reasons to call the mentors who are fishing to talk, and then let the diehards get out of the way.

Corresponding to the enthusiasm of the students, the flow of people in the magic infusion area is also gradually on the right track. More and more mage students stepped into the moon room under various factors, and after the initial pain, they gradually mastered the correct posture and skills while communicating with their colleagues, gradually realized the deep meaning, and began to eat the marrow and know the taste, and slowly became obsessed with this feeling.

Doing everything is addictive, and so is instilling magic.

After a month, the stored low-ring mana reached 1/3 of Ian's request, and if this momentum can be maintained, the fourth ring of mana refining can be carried out within 777 years of the faith calendar.

And the point cards from the private sector have gradually diluted the official point cards, from the initial 7-8 point cards are from the official, to now the workshop only needs to distribute one achievement a day to maintain a good market order, and the momentum is also good.

When the 43rd issue of Bignius was released at the end of July, the list had more points for the mages, and most of them chose to use pseudonyms to protect their privacy. The mage at the top of the list is named "Ashes".

It was undoubtedly Roy Hiven himself, but the name had nothing to do with his usual preferences, and even Hillman did not guess that Ash was Roy himself.

And for Roy, it was also a very meaningful month.

A month ago, he had collapsed in the Magical Infusion Zone, and it took a good week of rest to recover. However, as soon as he recovered, he went again.

He just wanted to verify that his judgment was accurate.

In order to better verify it, he made a special trip to bring incense for calming the mind, a luxury he has always been reluctant to use.

With the help of incense, this time Roy felt calmer than ever, his brain was ethereal, neither happy nor sad, as if stagnant.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, but he was still in good spirits, except for the fact that his body was slightly stiff from sitting for a long time.

Just as he thought, the main factor that affects the time of instillation of magic is the mind.

He had no friends, both men and women, and was always alone. He was accompanied only by magic, and because of his unusual sexual orientation, he was forced to keep his distance from others, and because of this, he honed an extraordinary heart in the long solitude.

As for calmness, it comes from alchemy experiments.

According to the regulations of Jialan Academy, only one standard experimental material will be provided to each mage student for free, because the loss caused by accidents, improper operation, etc. will be paid extra, so the shy Luo Yi will try to calm down every time and let the experimental process go through in his mind before he starts. He was worried about the financial burden caused by the failure of the experiment and the lack of knowledge caused by not being able to carry out the experiment completely, which made him more calm than ordinary people.

Discovering this, Roy took root in the Magical Infusion Zone.

For the next ten days, he spent almost all of his spare time here, adding up to nearly 450 hours of point cards made by one person alone.

After hanging up these points cards and consigning them, he earned more than seven times as many points as he won in second place......

On the schedule at the end of July, Roy, who goes by the pseudonym "Ashes", is only a little bit higher than the second place, all because he exchanged something that night......

At dusk on the 27th, after throwing the 450-hour card card to the card center, Roy has been thinking about what to do if his identity is discovered, after all, he is the last one who caused such a huge disparity - he is the one who left the second Grand Duke of Anjou, and it is inevitable that some people will think about it.

A distraught Loy returns to his apartment to find a letter on the table.

A chill suddenly welled up in his back.

Every time he went out, he would carefully check the prohibitions on the doors and windows, and this time he came back and found no signs of destruction......

So where did this letter come from?

He carefully examined the letterhead to make sure it wasn't any magic item, just plain paper, and then put on his gloves, cut off the air, and gently opened the envelope.

The letter reads:

"Lord Roy, focus will bring you good luck. If you're willing to pay all your points, then burn the letter, let the embers fade with the wind, and a day later, you'll have something unexpected. ”

The mystical things of the gods are most appealing to mages, and Roy is no exception. He flipped through it several times to make sure that it was indeed an ordinary thing, so he went to the second floor, burned it with his burning hand, and watched the embers dissipate in the wind.

It turns out that it's really just that simple?

The embers rose under his nose in the evening breeze, and finally burst into the air like small fireworks.

The five-colored brilliance of the symbolic elements intertwined in the sky, and the brilliant phantom dust brightened to the extreme for a while, illuminating the obsession on the young mage's face.

Roy was shocked by the scene in front of him, he was extremely sure of his previous inspection, but now this is indeed a scene only for magical items......

Is it that you can't pass the inspection?

No, how subtle would the fluctuations of magical items be?

Is the other party's method of forgery too clever?

It's possible......

But compared to this, he began to wonder what the so-called "unexpected things" were.

Maybe tomorrow's stuff is real?

The next day, Roy woke up from his sleep and heard the window being pecked by woodpeckers.

He hurriedly lifted the curtains, and found a fat bird with a snow-white body that could not tell whether it was a night owl or an owl with a small package in its beak, and was banging its head against the window.

Roy pushed open the window, and the fat bird shook his head and threw the small package all over the room, only then twisting his fat ass and leaving.

Roy took a few deep breaths, grabbed the package with his mage's hand, and rushed into the alchemy room, locking the door before carefully opening it.

This is a notebook, and judging by the signs of wear and yellowing of the footer, it is quite old.

When opened, the first page reads in the old Kragon language:

"Only the most intelligent and self-disciplined apprentices will be able to embark on the path of mage."

That night, Roy submitted his pseudonym to the Workshop.

"Ashes"

At the same time, his points have returned to normal and have not been erased as written in the letter.

Unbeknownst to the young mage, this was a reward for his name......
