Chapter 5: Capacity
Out of the bank, Jiang Han followed Jiang Zhenling to the east side of the trade street, the previous merchant witch who sold witch eggs was carrying a magic wand to create a small cloud in the air to cool off, there were only a few empty wooden frames on the flying carpet floating beside her, it seemed that those witch eggs were quite sought-after and had been sold out.
Along the way, Jiang Han quietly deceived the information from Comrade Jiang Zhenling in the way of adults testing children. Jiang Zhenling also rolled her eyes from time to time all the way, and occasionally sarcastically said, 'Sister, you are not only sick, but also have menopausal syndrome 80 years in advance?' But she answered the questions well.
Jiang Han, who graduated from a bachelor's degree in the previous life, had no problem with her comprehension, and quickly wrote down the common sense of magic and corrected some of the wrong parts of her guess.
For example, a witch doesn't actually need a wand to cast spells, and a wand is just a convenient item. And the function of the wand is to make it easier for the witch to control the scope and precision of the magic, if you want to hurt people, you can think of a lethal magic model in your mind, just call it a three-seven-twenty-one bombardment. Casting a spell is like cracking a safe, and the witch with the wand is a lockpicker, opening the lock with precision. The witch who doesn't carry a wand is a sapper, so I'll give this safe a half-pound of earth explosives to blow it up for you.
As for the total amount of witch's magic power and the total amount of output, there is really no knowledge of this in China......
The country crosses the river by feeling the stones, and the people are even more like, 'It's enough for me to cast magic,' and everyone is measuring it by empiricism. For example, the local people of the Liangshan generation generally believe that the total amount of magic power of witches depends on the arrangement of the state, and the Witch Bureau gives you an indicator, and the total amount of your magic power is...... In Nanxiang, a big city in the south, there are dozens of sayings among urban residents, and the most people believe that the total amount of magic is increased by eating lychees and drinking spiritual liquid, that is, you can improve your magic power by eating lychees and drinking wine.
As a person who once lived to the era when the scientific omnipotence concept of the 21 st century was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Jiang Han knew that it was fake as soon as he heard it.
Damn, even though the world is already very unscientifically magical, but this rumor is 100% false.
It's as reliable as a child who drinks Life No. 1 can take the top prize.
Jiang Han pondered, if this was the original world, then he would definitely not think about it so much, find a few stocks that are destined to multiply more than ten times (the stock is so bullish in 94) to accumulate initial funds, and then invest in several companies that are destined to multiply dozens of times (crazy years), and finally buy a few pieces of land that are destined to multiply hundreds of times (real estate that is even crazier than crazy), which arranges the glory and wealth of his family and even the next five or six generations.
But it's beautiful to think, this world is an unscientific world!
First of all, will those land that has been multiplied hundreds of times really be turned over like in the previous life? Not necessarily, the power of the witch is enough to build a residence along the entire coastline of New China, including the territorial waters, and change the living environment. Will the companies that are destined to succeed continue to be successful? Not necessarily, for example, the boss of the textile factory, in this world where witches casually increase textile production, can they really occupy a place?
Not sure, not necessarily, even more uncertain.
And if you take 10,000 steps back, what if you really make a fortune? There is extraordinary force in this world, and the sense of security brought by money has not been much since the beginning. The destructive power that a witch can cause is amazing, Jiang Han can guess with his ass that what will happen to a witch who is not so strong and is too rich. Even in another world of the rule of law where there is no extraordinary force, there are robberies, kidnappings and so on, could it be said that if you change the variety of 'witches', 'humans' are not 'humans'?
For the sake of safety, you still have to find a way to improve your ability, and in this world, the most direct way to improve your ability is to increase the total amount of mana.
Jiang Han scanned the street, his gaze resting on a shop that sold crucibles and measuring tools. You can't rush to study magic with scientific methods, first of all, you must understand how far the witches of this world have studied magic. I need to read more books, and I need to buy some tools to assist in research.
She quietly glanced at her sister, and once again refined the plan, adding the most crucial first step:
and my sister applied for funds to buy tools.
Alas, a penny stumps the hero ... Witch. The economic power in the family is not in the hands, and everything is empty.
Jiang Han thought about how to defraud the funds reasonably, racking his brains just like he wanted to cheat the first pot of gold from a shrewd businessman when he was 28 years old, the sun was still quite bright at this time, but the street where the witches were was cold and cold, and from time to time a witch shot two ice bombs into the sky to artificially cool down. Even with skewers on the side of the street, the air is still cool and fresh.
"Sister, do you want to eat snacks?" Jiang Zhenling looked at a mobile vendor selling cotton candy, and asked for advice without looking back, and at this time she was a little immature underage.
"Eat." Jiang Han replied in seconds that she likes sweets, which is generally similar to girls.
Jiang Zhenling walked up to the vendor, asked the price and paid for it, and pulled Jiang Han to watch the marshmallow take shape beside her.
The merchant witch smiled, pulled the flying carpet next to her closer, and asked Jiang Han courteously: "Comrade, do you want to eat sweet drops?" ”
"Sweet." Jiang Han glanced at her sister, she remembered that her family was a sweet party, "The sweeter the better." ”
"Okay." The marshmallow vendor nodded, poured a small half bag of sugar into the iron pot on the flying carpet, and then with an inexplicable but quick magic, it was sparkling and electrified, and with a crackle, the sugar turned into a cotton-like thing composed of sugar silks, as if there was a little too much sugar, and the whole pot was stuffed with marshmallows.
The vendor clapped his hands, read Latin with a Cantonese accent, and conjured two popsicles and poked them into the marshmallows, stirring them twice to turn into two large balls of marshmallows.
"It's okay to do left."
Jiang Han took his share of the marshmallow and took a bite, not to mention the sweetness, but also a wonderful feeling of coolness. Generally speaking, marshmallows are hot, and it seems that they are not made with magic. She still remembers that when she used to eat marshmallows, she often had to wait two or three minutes to make one, but here it was only five or six seconds to make it with magic, and she didn't know how efficient it was.
"It's so sweet." My sister also took a copy, she licked her mouth, first frowned, and then smiled contentedly, "When I usually buy marshmallows, the vendors don't ask me if I want desserts." ”
She spoke as if she was hinting at something.
Jiang Han did not accept this stubble, which was incorporated into the most hated topic like 'sister' and 'coming relatives', and in the Chinese context, the most hated permission to refer to several matters at the same time.
Eating marshmallows and enjoying the cool air at a suitable temperature, Jiang Han had to have a good impression of such a world. The strangeness fades away, and the novelty gradually ushers in.
We came to the street that was roughly selling pets, and it was a long trapezoidal street with pet shops on the left and right sides. The witch temperament here is more arrogant than the previous on the street, probably because buying and selling pets is already considered a high-income group? And judging from the various fantasy creatures at the door of the pet store, it has the feeling of a witch world.
Jiang Zhenling stopped next to the street entrance and reminded: "You are in a very abnormal state today, although it was quite normal just now, but I still have to mention it." ”
"Pets must absorb the magic power from us before they can gradually demonize and gradually possess abilities and attributes that surpass ordinary animals. The more powerful it is, the more it needs to be supported by powerful magic. Our family belongs to the magic is not high, but the control is enough of the species, so we generally choose pets such as Mizuse, octopus, small pets, the largest do not exceed the size of a normal deer, these consumption is low, easy to raise. ”
"If you have those powerful pets, it's easy to run out of mana, and the magic you can cast every day isn't even enough to support an encounter...... Of course, it is still possible to catch the thief, provided that the thief is an ordinary person or a witch with very low magical power and is called a weak witch. ”
After being seriously warned, Jiang Han nodded obediently:
"I see."
