Chapter 127: Unsuccessful Deals
"Don't say no so quickly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoI don't need a space pocket, I just want to borrow a space pocket for research. Green's pause, "The 'Schizophrenic Advanced Method' allows anyone who has completed the basic knowledge of magic to master the mysteries of magic and become an apprentice in magic. The large number of magical apprentices can effectively increase the magical strength of the Lekin Kingdom, while also increasing the productivity per capita......"
Green expounded on the benefits of a magical apprentice, but the bearded general was unmoved.
ββ¦β¦ If there are mana storage crystals that can be charged and reused again and again in the future, the magic apprentice will replace the mana crystal veins as an important strategic resource......"
"Mana storage crystals that can be charged and reused?" The bearded general seemed to hear something that made him care.
Hum! Finally hooked!
In the game, there is a magic item called [Damas Box], which can be used to charge mana like a battery. If Green remembers correctly, the [Damas's Box] is something developed by the Lekin Kingdom - although the [Damas's Box] has not yet been born, the relevant research and development work should have almost begun, right? Maybe the [Damas Box] has actually been developed, but it is not necessarily hidden as a "secret".
The birth of [Damas's Box] has transformed the magic apprentice from a low-level combat power to a "strategic energy", and its importance will be greatly increased. It is impossible for this bearded general in front of him, as a high-ranking general of the Lekin Kingdom, not to see this! Therefore, the importance of the "fine division method" that allows ordinary people to "certainly" change to magic apprentices has also increased.
In Green's opinion, the kingdom of Lykin, which has the [Damas's Box] technology, should be in great need of this kind of technology that can cultivate magic apprentices on a large scale. At the cost of the "Schizophrenia Advanced Method", you should be able to exchange some nice things from the Lekin Kingdom - it is estimated that it is very difficult to exchange space pockets, but if it is just "borrowing", it is not unacceptable for the other party.
"What's the matter with the mana storage device you are talking about?" The bearded general asked.
"It's literal." Grimm paused, "There are only two things that store mana at the moment: the magic crystal from the mana vein and the magic core from the body of the magical creature. However, each of them is limited in quantity and is also a one-time consumable. That's why I've been wondering if I'll be able to develop a 'charging crystal' that can replenish mana over and over again. β
"A 'Charged Crystal' that can replenish mana repeatedly?" The bearded general's eyes lit up, and he seemed interested in what Green had said.
"Yes." Green nodded, "If we can invent a 'Charge Crystal' that can be recharged repeatedly, then the magic nodes and magic crystal veins will no longer be the bottleneck that restricts the magic power of various countries, even those forces with poor magic resources will be able to enjoy the convenience brought by magic items, and magic apprentices will become an important resource that is no less important than the magic crystal veins." β
The bearded general reached out and pinched his beard: "Lisbon...... Is there already such a technology? β
"Nope. This technology still only exists in theory, but now that there is a theory, it is only a matter of time before a physical estimate appears. It is obviously impossible for Green to say that he already knew about their "classified research."
"Very great idea. If it really succeeds, it will be enough to change the whole world! β
"So...... I want to trade this technology for the right to research the space pocket. Greene paused, "Just a week is enough." I think with my ability, a week is enough time to collect enough data for the need. β
A week is enough time for me to make several space pockets! Green couldn't help but look at the little yellow book on his waist.
The "Item Copy" effect of the Little Yellow Book can duplicate non-magic items and projection magic items.
Duplicating non-magical items is of little use.
Because when copying non-magic items, if you use it to copy wood, you can copy about three or four cubic meters of wood, but if you use it to copy gold, you can only copy a fist-sized piece.
A fist-sized piece of gold is worth about a dozen gold coins every day. There is a demigod in the game called [Endless Gold Bag], which can produce 100, 500, 1000, and 2000 gold coins per day - there are several [Endless Gold Bags], and each [Endless Gold Bag] has a different gold output.
In comparison, the 10 gold coins per day are like sending Hanako! Although it can make Green have no shortage of living expenses from now on, it is impossible to expect it to make a fortune - it is only a few thousand gold coins a year, and it is better to take a mining pickaxe and become a miner.
Item duplication isn't very useful, but projecting magic items is a magical skill!
Although the projection item belongs to the pick-up binding, it can't leave Green's hand, even if Green copies a bunch of superb equipment, it is meaningless, but as long as you successfully project a high-level magic equipment that you can use, it will be sent!
The value of space pockets does not need to be explained at all. As long as it can be projected, it will even make Green happier than picking up a treasure!
For space pockets, Green has a very strong desire, but the bearded general of the Lekin Kingdom is a little embarrassed.
"I can't agree to your request."
"Why?" Green looked at the general in front of him strangely, "Just show me, it's not something difficult to do, is it?" "For the Lekin Kingdom, this business is obviously a sure profit, so why refuse it?
"I don't have a space pocket. The royal family may have pockets, but I can't decide. β
"Tsk......" Green pouted unhappily.
"But......" the bearded general stretched out his hand and pulled the mustache from the corner of his mouth, "if you are willing to come to the kingdom as an instructor, I don't think the royal family will refuse such a reasonable request." β
The bearded general still didn't seem to give up on his solicitation of Green, but Green already knew that his negotiations had failedβthe other party would rather spend money than lend himself a pocket of space.
Green was not at all interested in the bearded general's solicitation: "If I can't get along in the future, I'll consider it." β
"Hmm...... Back to the point. Regarding the 'advanced method of schizophrenia' just mentioned, we are willing to pay 10,000 gold coins to purchase the relevant papers and techniques. At the same time, we also want you to keep this technology confidential. β
Green raised an eyebrow. is worthy of being a military boss, and one mouth is 10,000 gold coins! That's enough to buy several good pieces of magical equipment, and even enough to buy a small piece of territory.
Undoubtedly, this amount was sufficient to purchase Green's papers. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been happy to complete the transaction after hearing this amount, but Green didn't feel anything after hearing this amount.
On Earth, money is omnipotent, and even nuclear bombs can be bought with money! But in the world of Io, if you have too much money, not only will you not be able to buy a "nuclear bomb", but you will only attract thieves and robbers at the level of a "nuclear bomb" - Waujin is only a medium divine power, which also proves that the power of money is very limited.
Greene: "...... Secrecy is already impossible. I have already submitted my paper on this technology to the Academy. β
Hearing Green's words, the bearded general frowned slightly: "So...... We hope you don't sell this technology to anyone else for a year. Especially the Palomians! β
Green raised his eyebrows: "...... I can agree to this condition. But I also have one condition. β
"Please."
"When you use this technology, you have to explain to the learner that I am the inventor of this technology."
"Yes." The bearded general nodded, then gestured to the staff officer behind him.
It was a general with a military temperament, tall and thin, but he looked very energetic.
The staff officer stepped forward and placed two crystal clear cards on the table.
Two beautiful crystal-like cards with the holy emblem of Wojin painted on them, as well as the amount and some text written in many Chinese.
The corners of the bearded general's mouth cracked: "Two bank cards of five thousand gold coins can be withdrawn at any Waujin church." β
Green glanced at the two cards on the table and stood up, "Wait for me." I'm going to get the paper. β
Several soldiers from the Lekin Kingdom watched Green leave.
The bearded general took a cigar out of his bag, held it in his mouth, and lit it......
"Whew~" A puff of smoke spat out of the bearded general's mouth.
The staff officer standing behind the bearded general suddenly spoke: "Major General, that maid gives me the feeling of being a little dangerous. β
"Kuro, do you know what's going on with that maid?" The bearded general turned his head and asked Kurlo, the strange thief leaning against the wall.
The strange thief Kuro pressed the hat on his head: "Bloody maid, wanted criminal in the kingdom of Palomya." Half a year ago, she had committed dozens of massacres in the territory of the Kingdom of Palomya, and there were even quite a few nobles among them...... Noble Phantasm is suspected to be a human Treasure for the soul...... The current bounty is 5,000 gold coins. β
The staff officer was a little surprised: "Five thousand gold coins? 5,000 gold coins for a master with a treasure? β
"When she committed the crime, she was just an extraordinary, and the bounty has not changed. Unexpectedly, in just half a year, she had become a master. The nobles of Palomia probably didn't think of it. β
"Half a year...... Whether it's that mage or a maid, they're all geniuses! It would be nice if we could recruit both of them to our country. β
Kuro the Thief: "They are already on the same page as Palomia, and even if they don't join us, they won't be our enemies." β
"Yes." The staff officer nodded, agreeing with the rogue Kurlo's statement.
It wasn't long before Green walked in from outside with a file bag.
"Guys, I've kept you waiting." Green sat back on the couch and put the file bag on the coffee table, "This is the thesis report of the 'Advanced Schizophrenia Method', you can take a look at it first." β
Green handed the paper bag to the other party, then reached out and picked up the two bank cards on the table and put them away.
The bearded general opened the file bag, quickly translated it, and then handed the document to the staff officer behind him.
"Even the dissertation is ready. You seem to be prepared. β
"This is the paper I submitted to the academy earlier." Green said calmly, "I've already submitted this paper, so you can take it back and read it slowly." β
Hearing Green's words, the bearded general raised his eyebrows: "Hmm......"
"This thesis ......," the staff officer suddenly exclaimed.
The bearded general turned his head: "What's wrong?" Got a problem with the paper? β
"No problem. The paper is perfect, and if what is said above is true, it can indeed be generalized to our country. β
"Well, that's fine." The bearded general nodded.
"Excuse me, can you let us read the following books that you use as a medium for 'schizophrenia'?" The staff officer asked Green.
Hearing that the staff officer wanted to read the book, Green's expression instantly became subtle: "You can ......"
β¦β¦
"Smack!" The staff officer decisively closed the book in his hand.
"That...... Master Green, you seem to have given the wrong book. The staff officer said to Green with a blank face.
"I didn't make a mistake." Greene paused, "You've read the papers I wrote, you should know how much these books are really about, right?" β
The staff officer touched his chin and thought for a moment: "I see...... That's a pretty clever trick. I just don't know if the magic apprentice who has advanced in this way can advance to the silver level. β
"It's not something that can be seen in a short period of time." Green paused, "Theoretically, it doesn't affect the advanced silver level, but if it is not experimentally demonstrated, the theory is just a theory after all." β
"Hmmm......"
"Colonel Rerugan, what do you think?"
"Yes! I don't think there's anything wrong with this report. β
"Well, then we'll take our leave." The bearded general nodded to Green.
Greene: "Okay. β
"If you don't have anywhere else to go in the future, you might as well come to Lakein. Our country very much welcomes those who are gifted elites. Before leaving, the bearded general invited Green again.
"Hmm. In the future, if I can't get along, I'll consider it. β
Seeing off the three masters of the Lekin Kingdom, Green finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I actually sent three golden steps, I feel that the Lekin Kingdom is planning to make a big move this time." Green slammed back on the couch, his mind wandering, "By the time Lakein starts promoting my technology, I'll probably have a lot of prestige." β
Just then, the housekeeper Farriyah returned to the living room after seeing off the three officers.
"Master, the apprentice recruitment notice you asked me to post earlier has already been signed up."
"Didn't the notice say that the apprenticeship assessment would be held tomorrow afternoon?"
"That...... The hosts, the people who came seemed to be a pair of street children. β
Green raised his eyebrows: "...... I see. Arrange a room for them...... No, you might as well bring it to me first. β
"Okay, master. I'm going to let both of them in. β
Well? They? It?
