Chapter 2: Interviews
In the newspapers that Wu Ming reads, he divides the commodities that can be involved in the present into three categories.
The first category is all kinds of raw materials, which is the largest transaction amount in the business alliance, just from the analysis of the information seen in the newspaper, the city has to handle at least 100,000 tons of various basic materials every day, most of them are concentrated in minerals, grains are also a lot, and there are medicinal materials, these three types of transactions are basically raw materials.
The second category is a variety of non-demonic processed items, such as forged weapons, armor, or firearms, vehicles, etc., the number of transactions of these things is not much, but the price is expensive, usually a finished forged weapon, the price is basically equal to the price of a hundred times the weight of the metal, so although the number of transactions is not much, but the transaction volume is comparable to the first type of transaction volume.
But the real king of trading volume is the third type of trading goods, that is, all kinds of items involving magic, a small reconnaissance badge, something that Wu Ming can make now, the price of which is almost ten times the price of a refined long sword, and judging from the newspapers, it still seems to be priceless.
Wu Ming is backed by the original main god space, he knows where his advantages lie, originally at the beginning his plan was to join the way of wholesale of various raw materials, in the main god space, he can exchange a little reward points for 100 tons of steel, and the price of 100 tons of steel in this city is close to ten magic stones, the value of a spirit stone, from the purchasing power that Wu Ming saw, this price is already very good.
Another thing to mention here is that the equivalent exchange of the Honghuang Ten Thousand Races is not gold, gold is one of the commodities, used for some magic ceremonies or prayer ceremonies, or needed by some creations, but it is not an equivalent exchange, the real equivalent exchange is magic stones and spirit stones, this kind of thing is a controlled item in the government of the Honghuang Heavenly Court, Wu Ming has not seen it, but from the perspective of network information, magic stones and spirit stones are gems that are born with the free energy of heaven and earth, and they are high-end cultivation equipment, as well as the necessary energy for the creation of Dao veins.
Unexpectedly, in the era of the flood famine, the magic stone and the spirit stone are actually equivalent exchanges, the price ratio is about ten to one, ten magic stones can be exchanged for a spirit stone, in addition, in the business alliance, because there are many undead, the soul stone can also be used as half an equivalent exchange, almost a hundred units of soul can be exchanged for a magic stone, and a unit of soul needs almost ten humans to make up, in other words, Wu Ming's reward points are equivalent to 10,000 human lives......
Human beings are so humble and lowly, so Wu Ming is really bruised when he looks at this information.
By the time Wu Ming finished reading the newspaper, he had given up his plan to enter the bulk raw material trading market.
Although it is not obvious in the newspaper, it is obvious that all the merchants who can participate in the raw material market are either the spokesmen of a certain tribe, or the economic people of some big power, and he is a ghost of unknown origin, and suddenly takes out a large amount of raw materials to enter the market, I am afraid that he will be caught and sliced by magicians within three days, which is really faster than suicide.
After reading the newspaper, Wu Ming already had a preliminary plan for his next actions, first of all, to catch up with the magician family, in this era of the flood wilderness, the magician is considered to be the aristocratic class that crosses races among the flood wilderness, even if your race ranks low, but you are a magician, then you yourself have a certain social status, and no one dares to underestimate you.
Wu Ming is not a magician, but he is a cultivator, a cultivator, especially an orthodox cultivator, is more than a hundred times more powerful than a magician, not that he is powerful in strength, but in essence.
Magicians also have a fantasy color, although the pursuit of knowledge, but the purpose of their pursuit of knowledge is more to cater to the mystery, the realm of magicians contains mystery, but the essence of cultivators, especially orthodox cultivators, is to break the mystery, the so-called cultivation of truth is this, maybe it is not obvious in the first order, but from the second order cultivators to build the base, this gap will begin to gradually widen, until each other goes to the fourth order, orthodox cultivators can pick 10,000 to beat the fourth-order magician.
Wu Ming can now completely pretend to be a magician, which is not difficult, the difficult thing is how he explains the source of his magic (Xiuzhen).
"So this interview for the pharmacy apprentice is extremely important, and I have to take it down no matter what!"
Wu Ming got up as soon as the sun set, and without greeting anyone, he went to the place marked in the newspaper, and in the hotel, the mermaid complained to the beastman: "Boss, another white-eyed wolf, it is estimated that he will live for a while after he has a job, but once the conditions improve, he will leave immediately, and he will never think of your help when he is at his weakest, right?"
The beastman was wiping the table, and he smiled when he heard this, "Why bother? I just can't see people living on the streets, if it is pleasing to the eye, it is enough to help, why do you care so much?"
The mermaid pouted and said, "But you already owe a lot of debts, and if you don't pay the debts, it is estimated that even this hotel will be taken away by the city hall, right?"
The beastman just smiled and didn't answer the mermaid, he just muttered in a low voice, "It's coming, it's already coming......"
Wu Ming didn't know all this, he came to the main road and began to discern the direction, and then he walked towards that side, walking for about two blocks, and it took him nearly an hour before he came to this street with a magical aura.
This block obviously looks more upscale than other blocks, the houses are taller, the building materials are better, and the look is more gorgeous, on the signs of these shops, there are more or less symbols or images that indicate that they belong to the magic side, and in the depths of the complex of buildings in this block, there is a five-story mage tower, which means that the magicians in this tower have at least the second-order peak level, or even the third level, this kind of magician is not much even in the Honghuang Heavenly Court, and it can be called a great magician.
Wu Ming was even more cautious, bowing his head and not daring to look around, but he followed the newspaper sign to a shop, where there was a long queue, and there were about twenty alien races lined up, probably all of whom had come to apply for the position of apothecary apprentice.
"It seems that there is a big problem with the inheritance of knowledge among the desolate races, is the magician so precious?"
Wu Ming muttered in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he was still lined up in the line, and at the same time, he began to observe these alien races.
More than twenty alien races, Wu Ming saw a male elf in the team, and a petite leprechaun with transparent thin wings on his back, and some orcs, half-orcs, and an orc with a pale face and no blood, it was estimated that it was a blood clan? The rest was a dwarf, a humanoid creature that was slightly taller than a dwarf, but not a dwarf.
More than twenty alien races lined up, and dozens more alien races arrived one after another, it seemed that the competition for this potion apprentice was very fierce, although Wu Ming held it, but he was also slowly a little apprehensive in his heart.
After about two hours, it was finally his turn, and he entered the shop, where he saw some test tubes, beakers, scales and other tools, and some herbs that he didn't recognize.
"Ghosts? ”
In the inner room, there sat a dwarf with a smoking gun, and he said while smoking: "I am the magic apprentice Abis, the apprentice of the five-ring magician Lord Lorik Golden-eyed, and now I want to recruit an apprentice in potions, you are really lucky, say, what advantage do you have?"
Wu Ming almost scolded his mother in his heart, he had never experienced this kind of interview, so he said cautiously at the moment: "I only recovered yesterday, and I don't know what I did before." ”
"Yesterday's recovery?" "Yesterday's recovery?" the dwarf Abis became interested, he stood up and looked at Wu Ming carefully, and then stretched out his hand to draw some symbols in the void, and after a moment he nodded and said: "Well, it is indeed only revived, and it is actually a natural recovery, and there is no necromancer to give you the mark, then you have little time, you have to earn at least one magic stone before you lose your mind, otherwise I am afraid you will be thrown into the arena...... I'm a kind person, so I'll give you a chance to see those herbs? Rely on your intuition to distribute them reasonably, as long as you can make any kind of potions, I'll just accept you, how about it?"
Straight fart! Chance fart!
Wu Ming really wanted to scold, there are about twenty kinds of medicinal materials here, if you let someone who doesn't understand pharmacology do it, the possibility of being able to make a medicine is not even one in ten thousand, this is an opportunity, it is clear that it is good to refuse directly.
Wu Ming didn't say much, he walked in front of these medicinal materials, each one was picked up and gently pinched with his hands, and at the same time, the water luck recipe in his body was also running secretly, and soon, the analysis of each medicinal material appeared in his consciousness.
Although the water transport method is a partial cultivation method, it is still a cultivation method, and it is one of the orthodox cultivation exercises, and the reason why cultivation is stronger than magic is actually in the inheritance and analysis of this exercise.
A series of magic,It's all about infusing your body with the free energy of heaven and earth.,Expand the sea of consciousness at the same time,Condense these free energy into personal magic.,After having magic power, you start to learn all kinds of magic techniques.,After memorizing these techniques,You can launch all kinds of magic.,But! Unless it is a magician or a magician, magicians are actually ignorant of why a spell can be used, and even the person who created it may be half-understood, they only know that it can be done in this way, but they don't know why it can be done.
It's like someone can draw a circle, but the area of the circle, the number of pi, etc., is not known.
However, the orthodox cultivation method is different, even if it is the most elementary orthodox cultivation method, it also has a variety of analysis functions in essence, among which the magnification function is one of them, and the material analysis is the second, it is said that after reaching the Jindan level, the orthodox cultivation method can even directly let the user see the atomic level, the calculation power, the analytical power, the analytical power, and the logical power are even higher, so the orthodox cultivators almost never care whether it is a Jindan Yuanying or not, what they care about is the understanding and induction at the knowledge level, and that's it.
Wu Ming touched these medicinal materials one by one, and then selected three of them under the analysis of the water transport recipe, and then weighed them one by one with a balance scale, and when he reached this step, the dwarf's eyes were already wide, and when Wu Ming mixed all the potions into the beaker, added water, and slowly adjusted the temperature with the flame, when the liquid was pale cyan, the smoking gun in the dwarf's hand had fallen to the ground, and he had already pounced on Wu Ming.
"Put, put, I'll taste, I'll taste. ”
The dwarf was not too hot, he took the beaker in his hand for a half sound, slowly touched a little with his fingers and put it in his mouth, and after half a ring, he looked at Wu Ming with a surprised gaze: "You still have some memories ......of your life? But you were a human before your death, who would be so boring to teach human pharmacy? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."
Wu Ming smiled and said, "Then am I qualified?"
The dwarf didn't speak, put down the beaker and walked back and forth, and only said after half a ring: " I won't hide it from you, I originally planned to leave the position of this potion apprentice to the same clan, that is, the dwarf you saw coming in first, he is the child of a relative of the aunt of my distant cousin's friend's sister, although it is farther away, but after all, it is the same clan and tribe, our dwarf itself has magic perception, as long as he does this potion apprentice, maybe when he will be looked at by the mentor, if there are two magic apprentices in our tribe, I want to come to the rank of the clan will be higher......"
Speaking of this, the dwarf's face was cloudy, and just when Wu Ming was secretly on guard, for fear that he would kill someone, no, kill the soul, the dwarf said: "The teacher only asked me to accept a pharmacy apprentice, but your talent is really good, I can't bear it, to be honest, I can't learn potion well, it's not as good as you, my fellow don't even know what a potion is, if this store loses money in the future, I don't look good with the mentor, so ...... I'm going to see the guru now, I'm always going to bring you down, you're waiting for me here, I'll be back right away. ”
After speaking, the dwarf didn't wait for Wu Ming's answer, he turned around and rushed out of the store, even Wu Ming didn't care if he was in the store.
Wu Ming stood stupidly in this shop, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.
