Chapter 24: Men Are Jealous, Too
It was just after noon when he left Viscount Lesley's estate, Xu Yi looked up at the scorching sun, and decided that it was better not to brave the scorching sun to return to the factory, so he asked the coachman sent by the Brunei butler to send him directly back to Bangta City.
In the hot weather, Bangta City was still almost dead silent as usual, Xu Yi looked around in the carriage and found that many houses and shops could see the figure of the magic fan turning, and couldn't help laughing.
In less than a month, magic fans had become popular both inside and outside Bonta, and now anyone who had one or two magic fans for each of them, except for those who were rich enough to afford to set up a large frost circle, would simply not be able to hold their heads up among the neighbors.
According to Heinze's statistics, so far, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has sold a total of 2,370 Xinfei magic fans.
Putting aside all the costs, the net profit was more than 2,200 gold coins.
Aside from the dividends received by Heinze, and the dividends received by Viscount Leslie because of that one percent of the shares, Xu also received an income of more than 1,500 gold coins!
And that's just a month's worth of net income.
You must know that the average income in Bangta City is only more than ten gold coins per person per month, and the annual income is almost less than two hundred gold coins.
With Rem's income of thirty gold coins per month in the Camilla Magic Tower, it can be regarded as a high-income family in the entire Bonta City.
But compared with the current Xu Yiyi, it is undoubtedly countless times worse.
It's no wonder that Heinze often persuaded Xu Yi to quit his job at the Magic Tower and concentrate on running the Chamber of Commerce.
The decisive factor why the output of the magic fan could not be raised was because Xu Yi's energy was limited.
And his work in the Magic Tower, although not heavy, also consumes a large part of his energy.
In Heinze's view, this is simply a great waste.
However, Xu Yi resolutely refused Heinze's proposal every time.
Heinze didn't have that kind of vision, and Xu couldn't and couldn't have it.
After getting out of the carriage, Xu Yi threw a gold coin to the coachman, and walked into the magic tower with a large bag and a small bag.
Along the way, I met many colleagues in the magic tower, and they would smile at Xu Yi when they saw him.
During this time, Xu Yi designed and made a magic fan for Zuò to sell well in Bangta City, and even if the magicians in the magic tower didn't care about mundane things, they had heard of it somewhat, and indirectly got to know this black-haired boy who was completely unfamiliar with it before.
It's just that in the eyes of the magicians in the magic tower, Xu Yi is somewhat unprofessional.
As a magician, if you don't study magic honestly, you run to get a magic fan that you don't know whatsoever, it's just a person who loses magicians!
Xu Yi ignored the strange gaze in these smiles, kept smiling, and went straight back to the research room.
As soon as they saw Xu Yi coming in, several young people in the research room immediately cheered at the same time, rushed over directly, unceremoniously snatched a few packages from Xu Yi's hands, and opened them with their hands and feet.
"Mung bean juice again? I said Xu Yi, there are no new tricks?" a colleague did not forget to complain.
Xu Yi laughed: "What's the matter? tired of eating? Okay, next time I'll remember to change something new." ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's nice to have something to eat. Another female colleague pushed the colleague who had just complained away. "Xu Yi, you have to bring such a thing back every time, which makes us very embarrassed. ”
"Nothing, just worthless knick-knacks. I always take time off, and I apologize for letting you share a little more of the work in the laboratory. ”
"Hehe, you're so polite......"
"You know. A cold snort suddenly interrupted the harmonious atmosphere here. "Xu Yi, don't think that you can show off here if you make some money with a magic fan. Don't forget, you're a magician after all. We magicians still have to rely on their own magic strength to judge the level, next month is the qualification assessment of the magician union, I heard that you still haven't passed the lowest level of the assessment, if you still can't pass next month, it's a joke!"
Xu Yi raised his eyes and found that it was really Zimiro, who was the second best in the research room in terms of magical strength.
Since Xu Yi entered this research room, this Tsimiro has been raising his eyebrows and raising his eyes, and he is not used to seeing him in every way.
At first, Xu Yi didn't know what was going on, but later I found out from other colleagues that this Tsimiro had always had thoughts about Steele, and knew that Xu Yi had entered the magic tower through Steele's back door, so he thought that Xu Yi and Steele had a special relationship, and naturally he had always been unhappy with Xu Yi.
For this kind of person, Xu Yi knows that the more you pay attention to him, the more energetic he becomes, so he has been downplaying it, when he doesn't exist.
After a long time, Zimiro probably felt that it was not interesting for him to be jumping around here alone, and Xu Yi did not show any special relationship with Steele, so he gradually stopped.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly popped out again today.
"Hey, Zimiro, your speech is too ugly, right?" The female colleague who helped Xu Yi speak just now was suddenly dissatisfied: "Although Xu Yi has not yet passed the guò qualification certification assessment, but our colleagues have been in it for so long, what strength Xu Yi has? If you want me to say that he will definitely pass the guò assessment next month!"
"Hmph, Ludy, did Xu Yi just buy you every time he brought you a little thing? You said that he must be able to pass the guò assessment? So what? I think his strength is only a junior magician at most, right? Do you think a junior magician is very powerful?"
"You ......"
Xu Yi stretched out his hand to stop Ludy, who still wanted to argue, glanced at Zimiro, and said with a smile: "Senior Zimiro, my magic strength is far inferior to yours, I don't think I need to talk about this anymore." ”
Zimiro didn't expect Xu Yi to admit that he was inferior to him in front of so many people, he was stunned for a moment, and he was embarrassed to continue to entangle, so he had to snort and sit back down, not knowing if he began to concentrate on his work.
"What kind of person!" Ludy glanced at Tsimiro disdainfully, snorted lightly, and then frowned and whispered to Xu Yi: "Xu Yi, why do you want to say that you are inferior to him, doesn't this contribute to his arrogance." ”
"The problem is that I'm not as good as him. Xu Yi smiled, not angry at all. "Ludy, I'm an engineer, and the most basic requirement is to be realistic, and there can be no falsehood. ”
Ludy glared at Xu Yi angrily: "You are quite calm." ”
Xu Yi smiled slightly, looked left and right, but did not find Rem and Weina.
"The two of them took a leave of absence together today, so I think it's probably a date. Rudy grinned. "Speaking of which, that Rem guy isn't a dead brain, and he finally knows that please invite Wella on a date. ”
"That's right...... It's a shame, I still have something to find Wella today. Xu Yi said helplessly.
"Do you have something to find Weina again?" Ludy looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, and suddenly came over mysteriously, and whispered: "Hey, Xu Yi, don't blame me for not reminding you, you'd better not look for Weina alone in the future." Rem didn't say it explicitly, but I could tell he was upset about it. ”
Xu Yi was stunned: "I'm just looking for Wella at work." ”
"That's not going to work either. "Ludy is categorical. "Men are jealous, too, so be careful. ”
Xu Yi couldn't cry or laugh a little, and after thinking about it, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it later." ”
Since Wella was not there, Xu Yi lost his goal of coming to this research room, and after returning to his seat and quickly finishing the accumulated work, it was almost time to get off work.
Xu Yi hesitated, left the research room, and stepped onto the magic ladder.
The top floor of the magic tower was still cool, and after Xu Yi reported his name, the door of Camilla's Great Magician's research room automatically slid open, making way for the space inside.
"Xu Yi, didn't you ask for leave today?" Grand Magician Camilla seemed to have just finished a magic study, and was taking a short break when he saw Xu Yi coming in, and he was even interested in making a little joke.
Xu Yi smiled a little embarrassedly, knowing that he had taken too much leave during this time, and even Camilla Magician knew about it.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" asked Archmage Camilla again.
"There are two things. The first is to make a special trip to thank you, Your Excellency the Great Magician. ”
"Thank me for what?" said Grand Magician Camilla with a frown.
"Thank you for giving me the recommended spot for the Wizards' Guild Certification Exam. ”
"For you?" said Grand Magician Camilla, who nodded as if she had remembered something. "It's nothing, your magical talent is good, and it's a good fit to recommend you. Anyway, this quota doesn't play a big role, at most it's just to make it easier for you, and you don't need to thank me. Let's talk about another thing. ”
"Anyway, thank you very much. Xu Yi solemnly bowed to Grand Magician Camilla to express his gratitude, and then took out a drawing from his arms and handed it over. "The other thing is that I have some questions for you. ”
"Magic array again?" Grand Magician Camilla took the drawing, glanced at it, and said lightly, "This...... It looks like a frost circle?"
"It is worthy of His Excellency the Great Magician, and he recognized it at a glance. Xu Yi immediately sent a sycophant. "That's right, this is indeed the Frost Circle, a modified version of the Frost Circle, to be exact. ”
"I can tell, but what are you doing with this frosty circle?" said Grand Magician Camilla, gesturing to the blueprint. "How did I find out that your changes to this Frost Circle are a bit similar to the Whirlwind Circle you changed before?"
Xu Yi was immediately impressed, and said happily: "Your Excellency Great Magician, you are really amazing, you can see the core part of this magic array at a glance. That's right, the purpose of changing this Frost Circle is the same as the purpose of changing the Wind Whirlwind Circle before, that is, I want this Frost Circle to have the same long-lasting output, what do you think of the effect of this Circle?"
"Hmm...... Overall, the changes are good, but there are a few minor issues......" Grand Magician Camilla suddenly raised her head. "Xu Yi, are you going to use this frost array for anything again, are you?"
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "That's right, what I want to do is the magic air conditioner." ”
