Chapter 26: The Return
It's a pity that I couldn't keep all the money I had to pay before I moved out of the vault and turned it into my own performance. However, the visiting senior steward of the Chamber of Commerce also understood that this was probably the limit of the two girls.
If you want to instigate the two little girls to buy blindly, not to mention offending the magician behind it, I'm afraid that even the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce will have to clean themselves up.
Isn't it precisely to protect the rights and interests of magicians that the association has established a subsidiary chamber of commerce, how can it still trap its own people? If such rumors were spread and caused a loss of the association's credibility, it would be impossible for his family to fill in their lives, and it would not be able to calm the anger of the high-level magicians.
However, another deal was finalized. This time, as long as the goods are collected, except for a few that have to wait to be mobilized from other places, a special team of carriages and horses will be hired to deliver the goods, and the two girls will also be sent back to the tower of the great sage.
The bulk of the commission is the arrangement of the escort team, after all, there are more than 10,000 Kiel gold coins to be sent back. The escort team did not pick a trustworthy one, and there were enough people, and it is very likely that they will be robbed by others or by their own people on the way.
As for the follow-up of the mall system, there is no part to reply. Accustomed to seeing various online shopping malls in the Earth Age, and all kinds of pros and cons analysis, Lin has long considered all aspects of this castrated version in the manual, and has also made arrangements for the future.
It's as if the allocation of orders, which has been disputed for a long time at the XIIII meeting, is ultimately a way to take Lin's design. That is, by default, there is no designated business, and all orders will be returned to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, and then the people in the headquarters will make allocations according to the results of the discussion at the meeting. Of course, it also retains the option of designating business personnel to process orders and give quotations, so that magicians who are accustomed to buying goods from someone can continue to establish a good trading relationship on the mall system.
As for whether there will be other problems, of course, it is to wait until the system is online and then consider the solution when encountering a situation.
In short, in the third week of arriving in Wulian City, everything was finally ready, and the two girls were about to return to the Great Sage Tower with the chariot and horse team. There were five caravans responsible for carrying goods, and a total of six caravans for the girls, all of which had not yet finished carrying the goods on the list. Some of them are to be mobilized from further afield, and will travel with the next regular convoy.
There are six guards, and they are one of the ace teams belonging to the Chamber of Commerce, and their loyalty and strength are not a problem. He was accompanied by the senior steward who had approached the girl in the first place, and a magician, one of the students of Orange Fruit Eaton.
Although it is said that the president does not intervene in the operation, there are factions where there are people, and there are still some available people under his old man's hands. And the student's appearance was more to shock some small party members.
On the way back, the biggest news is that with the concerted efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, the mall system has officially made its public debut. Different from the interface of the discussion board, there are many pictures and detailed explanations, which make people feel like they are visiting a store and choosing from a variety of products. Many people are fascinated by it at first sight and can't help themselves.
And the origin of the picture is not the camera of the Lost World version. The world doesn't have that kind of thing yet, but it has similar magic. Let's start with the saying that after death, human beings will imprint in their eyes the last thing they saw before they died. There are magicians who use this argument to develop branding. The medium is the eyeball, not necessarily the human eyeball, but also the animal eyeball.
However, an eyeball can only keep a static image, and to view it, you need to cast a separate spell. Therefore, in terms of practicality, it is not favored. On the contrary, in the aristocratic circle, there are often some people who want to meet the horse, use the branding technique to leave the figure of the beauty, and then instigate some nobles to come forward to fight for it, or even rob it.
Later, branding ushered in a revolution, and some magicians researched the use of crystal balls, which can collect multiple still pictures, and can be viewed directly with crystal balls, without the need to cast another spell. However, due to the high cost of materials, the modified version of crystal ball branding is not accepted by most people except for special purposes. Of course, there is no way to form a photographic culture like the earth.
And this third major reform is the picture storage format developed by Lin Wei Forum and Mall System. The forum has already used magic magic to publish the patterns or magic arrays on the books in the form of pictures on the Internet.
At the beginning of the establishment of the mall system, Lin had the idea of storing the static pictures obtained by the branding technique into the system, and made some research. After all, for doing business, purely using words to introduce and you can see the product itself, are two completely different effects. And this idea is also recognized by most people in the Chamber of Commerce, and the effect of implementation is as fascinating as it is in front of you.
…… Then, there was an endless wail.
The network of Lost World does not have a speed specification, but it has a data limit. And this limitation depends on the magical power contained in the carrier of the browser system, that is, the magic stone or the energy pool itself.
If it's an energy pool, there's nothing to talk about about that kind of semi-infinite energy. However, although the energy of the magic stone has the phenomenon of natural recovery, it is possible to use it permanently when the energy consumption does not break the balance in the magic stone.
In terms of use, simply looking at the pure text materials of the forum, even the lowest-level Hongyao-level magic stones can be used without wear and tear.
The video that exists on the forum is only the surveillance footage that Lin provided to the association as evidence, and it is not open to the public, so it can be ignored.
As for the pictures, they also appear in the discussion articles on the forum, but they are only incidental information of a supporting nature, not as illustrative materials on the topic. So relatively speaking, the appearance of pictures is quite rare. Therefore, although opening the picture will consume energy and break the balance in the magic stone, in terms of the experience of using it for several months, that consumption is not obvious, which makes people ignore the lethality of the picture.
Now that the mall system is online, the dazzling picture information has deeply stimulated everyone's desire to consume, and I can't help but look down page by page...... Then the magic stone exploded.
Except for a very small number of magicians who are wealthy enough to use high-grade magic stones as browser carriers, most of the users are magicians who are not so financially well-off, or apprentices who continue to pay the price of learning magic knowledge, and ordinary people related to Wulian City can be regarded as having some money in their hands.
The latter types of people all use the lowest-grade Hongyao-grade magic stones as carriers. In terms of the original use, it is more than enough. But as soon as the mall system was launched, it was all tragic.
It was also the night of the caravan camping on their way to the Tower of the Great Sage, and at a certain time after everyone rushed to inform the mall that the system was activated, the magic stones let out a crisp popping sound one after another, and everyone let out a grief-stricken howl almost at the same time, including Halumi and Kaya and the six guards.
The browser system with magic stones as the carrier can be used by most Homo sapiens who can use magic items. So these warriors who work under the Wizards' Guild will also use it. On the one hand, it can be regarded as a work need, using the forum to report various news and the whereabouts of the chariot and horse team to the Chamber of Commerce. When they are in need, they will also buy things from the Chamber of Commerce, so the launch of the mall system is naturally the focus of their attention. And then...... The magic stone exploded.
In the chariot and horse team, except for the two girls who can take out the spare browser magic stone from their bags, only the leader of the escort team has a publicly issued browser magic stone, which is used to deal with official messages, and is generally not used, so it has not exploded. And the student of President Orange Fruit Eton, who also looked at the powder in his hand, and then asked the sky speechlessly.
Consider that the instructor of the two girls is the inventor of the browser magic. Since there will be a spare one, maybe there will be a second or a third. So at the request of the others, Halumi and Kaya kept only one magic stone that already had the browser system stored, and sold the extra five to the rest of the team. The price is directly the value of the magic stone itself, plus I Kiel's browser magic, there is no more.
There will be so many spare, all of which are habits brought out by their own teachers. When you're away from home, it's better to be prepared than to be in a hurry. For items that are difficult to replace, always bring some preparation to avoid accidents. As for life-saving items, they must be checked again and again. If you don't have enough things, you can buy them with money, and if you don't have your life, you can stop mentioning everything.
As for the magician who was sent by his own president teacher to carry out this escort mission, he looked at the cash box on the carriage with some helplessness. The reason for this mission was that it was rumored that some people coveted this huge amount of gold, so President Orange Eaton made a big move to warn the villains who were hiding in the shadows.
Anyway, as long as the escort is done once, there shouldn't be so much income in the future.
But teacher, maybe this same amount of money box will have to be given again. The magician meditated in his mind.
The mall system was launched, and this chariot and horse team alone exploded ten magic stones. What a wonderful picture it would be in Wulian City. The mere imagination is chilling.
It's not. Just re-launched, the association is in all the discussion forums where announcements can be made, warning people who browse the mall page that in addition to the various magic tower owners who use the energy pool as the system host, please change the browser settings to the option of not turning on all pictures by default. If you want to open any image, just click on the icon box to open it.
Come to think of it, Wulian City should also be full of grief at this time.
Finally, in the state of everyone's grievances, the tall figure of the Great Sage Tower appeared at the end of the field of vision.
It's home.
