Chapter 8: The Wandering Wizard Tells the Story

Participating in the hunting competition, in addition to competing for honor, there is also a chance to get rich material rewards.

For example, the blood, flesh, eyes, and even bones of demons are all materials necessary for wizards to conduct magical experiments and cast certain spells, and they are widely popular in the wizarding world.

The large number of demon 'materials' collected by Zheng Qing in the freshman competition do not need to be handed over to the school, but only need to pay a little management fee after the registration and confirmation of the hunting committee, and a large part of it can be used for himself - including the official competition of the 'Academy Cup' also applies to these rules - which means a lot of golden beans.

This is also why hunting tournaments are enthusiastically sought after at First University, and almost every student with the slightest ability will try to become a hunter and join a hunting team.

After all, if they want to go further on the path of wizards, adequate material support is a must. Not every talented person comes from a wealthy family and is not troubled by material scarcity.

From this point of view, the wandering wizard's guess about Zheng Qing's intention is not unreasonable.

As the largest grey bazaar in Beta, the Wandering Bar gathers intelligence brokers large and small to exchange information about First University.

As the manager of this bazaar, the wandering wizard can naturally get some background information of the 08-level public scholarship students of Jiuyou Academy without difficulty - such as being born in the Baiding world, having no reliable background, lacking gold and silver in hand, and so on.

The lack of gold and silver means that when Zheng Qing gets a lot of demon materials that he can't use yet, he will sell them as soon as possible within the shelf life in exchange for the hard currency of the wizarding world - and compared to the school's rigid purchase price, the price that the wandering bar can provide is very flexible.

"If you're worried about me undercutting prices, that's completely unnecessary. The wandering wizard mistakenly thought that Zheng Qing's refusal was a means of negotiation, and immediately spoke: "Recently, the resurgence of the Silent Forest has been a bit serious, and the prices of many basic spell casting materials in Beta Town have increased a lot. If you give me the materials you acquired in the Freshman Tournament, you will definitely get the numbers you are happy with...... Compared with the purchase price of the school, it should be able to rise by about 30%. ”

Zheng Qing gasped when he heard this.

Xiao Xiao had already estimated before that the batch of demon materials he obtained from the hunting ground should be worth about a hundred jade coins for conservative reasons. According to the wandering wizard, the floating thirty percent is almost thirty jade coins!

Thirty coins! That's enough to pay the tuition fees of three government-funded students!

With one hundred and thirty jade coins, Zheng Qing estimated that he could almost rent a small shop in Beta Town and sell his own talismans - instead of being siphoned off by the wandering bar for every talisman he sold, as he did now.

In just the blink of an eye, the thoughts of the young public scholarship student changed from the batch of demon materials, to the idea that he could open a store, to the name of the store, to whether to go public after the store became bigger and stronger, and whether to choose Frankfurt, New York, or London if he went publicβ€”in short, he would not choose Shanghai, Zheng Qing confirmed this very much.

"If you have an ideal, you will not choose to be listed on Shanghai. The young wizard grunted and shook the glass in his hand.

The pale yellow liquid hangs a uniform film on the transparent wall of the glass, which converges into droplets under the action of gravity and slowly falls down the wall of the glass. In the wine, the brilliant light has slowly spilled into the air with the shaking of the wine glass, leaving only the mellow wine and the rich aroma.

"What did you say?" The wandering wizard obviously didn't understand what Zheng Qing had just muttered meant, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing!" the young public-funded student immediately blushed, but he didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or the embarrassment of being poked at his privacy.

After a pause, Zheng Qing suddenly remembered his intention: "I mean, I'm really not here to sell things." I'm here to ask if you want to curb the messy rumors in the school, is there anything you can do? If so, how do you charge ......?"

"Rumors?" The wandering wizard was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Do you mean the rumors about your cheating?"

Zheng Qing pulled his face and nodded.

"Why stop it!" the wandering wizard looked confused, "Are all those rumors true?"

"Of course it's fake!" Zheng Qing's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice raised a little: "It's because it's fake, that's why we have to 'crack down on fakes'! If we don't say something, won't it mean that we are weak-minded! When the time comes, the fake will also be said by them to be true!"

Looking at the excited wizard, the wandering wizard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Young, always so vibrant. The old wizard sighed, and then changed his mind and said something completely irrelevant: "I have heard a little story before, and I think it is very interesting, and I can't help but want to tell it to you. ”

Zheng Qing glanced at the watch hanging on the wall, it was still very early, and there were still two hours before the time he had agreed with Jiang Yu. He simply nodded and looked like he was listening carefully.

"This matter also has something to do with First University and the "Beta Town Post". ”

"You know, Nine Colleges and Alpha Academy have been at odds for a long time. These contradictions may be big or small, but they will always make people on both sides unhappy. ”

"One year, the "Betatown Post" wanted to do an interview on the construction of the style of study, so it sent a reporter from Alpha College to Jiuyou College for an interview. ”

When the officers of the Outreach Department of the Student Union of Jiuyou College heard her intention, they immediately became a little nervous, and they couldn't figure out what the "Betatown Post" meant. After discussing internally for a long time, they finally pinned their hopes on the reporter to say a few more kind words in the interview script. ”

So the Liaison Department spent a lot of money, and invited famous goblin singers to hold a music festival at the school, and arranged a sumptuous banquet three times a day, preparing all kinds of anti-seasonal exotic melons and fruits, delicacies from mountains and seas, and nourishing medicinal soups. ”

"The journalist is also interesting. I will not refuse the hospitality of Jiuyou Academy, and I will accept the souvenirs if you give them. ”

But after going back, she wrote an article "What is the extravagant style of extravagance - remembering the evil and crooked ways in the corruption of the student union of Jiuyou College", in which she counted in detail the behavior of Jiuyou College in order to win the favor of public opinion, using sugar-coated shells to corrupt conscientious public intellectuals, so as to manipulate public opinion, and finally asserted that Jiuyou has moral degradation and corrupt study style. ”

After the article was published, Dean Yao of Jiuyou College was furious, and the head of the External Relations Department of the Student Union was cleaned from top to bottom, and even the vice president of the Student Union in charge of external relations affairs was punished with a major demerit. ”

"This is the problem of the student union, if they entertain the reporter in peace, there will definitely not be such a problem. Zheng Qing couldn't help but comment.

"An An is fine?" The wandering wizard squinted and took a long sip of wine: "Innocent! This matter is not over yet......
