Chapter 161: The Beginning of the Lecture
The related controversy unfolded silently on the forum. Some people think that Gaybra Shui Tripwood is so arrogant that he tries to teach everyone.
But more people are talking about it. Whether it's mathematics or p-language programs, these knowledge that does not directly involve any magic, like the calm before the storm, brews with that amazing power, waiting for the moment to erupt.
On the days when he was close to lecturing, Lin Yi reported to the tavern of the old magician of Lews for several nights. Thinking about how to arrange and plan the venue, thinking about how to give a lecture on such a stage, of course, is more to familiarize yourself with the environment and avoid stage fright. But these days, the tavern is as deserted as ever.
Fortunately, someone has a very good psychological construction in this regard, and it is just one thing if there are many people and few people, just do your best.
Finally, it was time for the lecture, and the time was set for the evening.
Unlike the condition of the Earth, taverns on the Earth usually have good business at night and poor business during the day. Because most people have to go to work during the day, they don't come to the tavern. Only when it's time to take a break from work, I report to the tavern for a drink and to communicate with other people.
But the situation in the lost land is reversed. Since the tavern is responsible for dining, information exchange, etc., and there is no limit to 8 to 5 hours and the like, the degree of freedom is very high, and many people in need will run to the tavern during the day. The evening is a time for rest, and unless the tavern has a lodging function, it is generally not crowded after dinner.
This is also the reason why Lin chose to give a lecture in the tavern after dinner.
And today, he had an early dinner. One roast chicken, four people. But two of the four girls may have stopped growing and don't eat much, and one lich who doesn't eat much. So there are still most of the chickens that go into Lin's belly. If you really can't eat it, you just go into the dog bowl with gray hooves and white nose.
A family of four, all of them set off for the tavern. The reason why it will all be pulled up is simply to fill the scene. Avoid being too cold and the scene is ugly.
It's just that the closer you go, the less right it feels. Usually there aren't that many people on this road?
By the time he got closer to the tavern, Lin was already frightened. Full of heads, clogging the entire street. The crowd was buzzing, as noisy as an early morning market.
There was no way, Lin, who was not tall in the world of the Lost Land, had to raise his hand and squeeze forward while shouting, "Let go, I'm sorry, I have to let go in front." The other hand tried to grasp the shorter girl behind him. But after a while, they were dispersed by the crowd, and their empty hands couldn't grasp anything.
Lin Cai wanted to turn back to find someone, and a text window popped out in the vision of the glasses. That's the mail from Kaya left'
teacher
Because there were so many people, we couldn't squeeze in. Later, I will go home with my sister with Harumi. So please do your best.
Student Kaya
’
Well, okay. It doesn't look like they need to fill the scene......
I had no choice but to continue squeezing forward. "Jean, I'm sorry, you have to let Jean."
The act of squeezing forward all the time seems to have angered some people. The fat man closest to Lin was wearing a magic robe and looked like a wrestler, and shouted dissatisfiedly, "Stinky boy, what are you squeezing." Don't you see that there is no road ahead? Master Tripwood will come to lecture later, don't think about having to squeeze to the front and get a good position, everyone is here early. Beware of other people who are more grumpy than me and beat you half to death. ”
"But if I don't go in, no one will talk?" Lin said helplessly.
"What!" The fat man approached Lin's face and said in surprise, "Could it be that you are Master Tripwood?" ”
"I don't dare to be a master, I'm just a magician rookie."
The fat man didn't say a word, turned around, pushed more forcefully, and opened the way. While saying, "Let Jean in front, Master Tripwood is here." Let's let the front let! ”
With a humanoid bulldozer to help clear the way, Lin was finally able to relax a little. People who were originally pushed and dissatisfied could only reluctantly give way. Don't let the protagonist in, everyone doesn't sing.
After a lot of hardship, I finally squeezed into the tavern. It's also full of heads, and there's almost no room to settle down. No one can sit still, but all stand. Rubbing shoulders here is not just an adjective, but a fact of what is happening.
Some magicians were impatient with crowds, so they simply performed a levitation spell on themselves and floated in the air. Some people have performed the art of leveling the ground, some standing on the wall, some standing on the ceiling. It's quite a sense of watching a bat hang upside down.
Originally, in Lin's expectation, there should have only been two or three kittens. It's like publishing a paper from your college days, and the people sitting in the audience are actually other people who are also waiting for the paper to be published, or people who have already finished their presentations. Although it is open to auditing, who has the patience to listen to the third-rate papers published in the era when there are many college students like dogs.
But now this crowd is beyond his imagination, and Lin can't help but worry. If this group of people is not satisfied with what they hear, they riot and tear themselves apart, it is just a matter of raising their hands. I really shouldn't have brought that lich back, at least she was there, and she could make a scene.
Taking a deep breath, Lin looked left and right. I thought I would just sit at the bar and deal with the audience at the next few tables. It's good now, I don't even have a place to stand, what should I say?
Eventually, the old magician from Leuss came up with an idea, and he patted the table at the bar and motioned for someone to stand up, which solved Lin's troubles.
When Lin Yi stood on the bar, all the conversations stopped, and everyone turned their heads to look at the man who was standing tallest.
Originally, the attention of everyone was to shock people like Lin who had never seen a big scene. But the scene in front of me was so funny, someone standing on the wall, someone standing on the ceiling, and then looking at someone who was about to start in a very uncomfortable position.
After clearing his throat, Lin began to say, "Good night, gentlemen." In my hometown, there is a so-called 'achiever first'. The meaning of this sentence does not matter what the person's qualifications are, what his age, and whether his other knowledge is nonsense. As long as he is better than me in a certain knowledge, then I will use the etiquette of a teacher to ask this person for advice on this knowledge, but this is not a real apprenticeship. I know that during this time, there were a lot of people who had doubts about this. I would like to make it clear to you that you do not need to call me a teacher or treat me specially. In terms of magical attainments, I may lose to you, and I really don't have any qualifications to be respected. I've just figured out a few subjects, and I don't have any specialized knowledge. ”
With this as the opening remark, Lin Cai officially cut into today's theme. He said, "What's the use of studying math? How is it different from the way we count? I've noticed that a lot of people who come here today don't look like magicians. - "Lin's words caused a commotion below, "-Rest assured, I don't mean to drive you away." I can probably guess who you are, and what you thought about coming here. ”
The original commotion stopped, and instead there was a bunch of 'guess' or 'the ghost believes you' and the like. Lin laughed and said, "You are the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, or a guy from which store." Hey, there's no need to deny it. I guess this because Najib Steward, who knows me well, stands with you. ”
Najib, who was recognized, smiled helplessly at his companion next to him. The people around him couldn't help but smile when they looked at that funny expression. It was also such a fuss, and the atmosphere at the scene was slightly relaxed.
Then, Lin was in the air, using his own whiteboard pen technique, and wrote out the numbers from 0 to 9 out of thin air. Let's start with decimal numbers and the four most basic arithmetic. I understand that most of the people present are the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce, as well as some merchants, so when I give examples, I take commodity trading, bookkeeping and other behaviors as examples.
Among them, the advent of ninety-nine multiplication is even more amazing for these people who have been dealing with numbers all their lives.
Maybe I've read it in the math book. But seeing that someone can use it so skillfully, and then use it in various situations, such as calculating the most basic consumption of caravan travel, how much one person consumes, and how many people consume. Or how much is the price of a single item, and what should be the price of buying a few? All of this is amazing.
As for ninety-nine times ninety-nine, because there are too many mathematical skills involved, compared to ninety-nine multiplication, which is purely rote memorization, Lin feels that it is better not to raise the difficulty too high in one go.
Of course, in the process of lecturing, it is inevitable that there will be discordant doubts. After all, it is an activity that has never existed in the earth, and it is naturally not like the earth that can form the so-called etiquette of listening to lectures.
Perhaps those of lower rank and ordinary people would not dare to offend the official magician who was speaking, but the others who were also magicians would not be so polite, and would raise various questions from time to time. But no matter how much these people asked, it was a question of elementary school level, and it was difficult for the one standing at the bar.
While answering questions such as chickens and rabbits in the same cage and counting soldiers, he explained the convenience of numbers and four operations. In fact, the criticism is not math-savvy, and it is not necessarily correct. There is a lot of work that involves the problem of quantity and calculation, but the solution in this area is regarded as a unique job at the bottom of the box, and it is not declared.
And judging from the content that has been circulated, the method is complicated and does not matter, relying more on intuitive judgment. It's like buying something with the manager of the Chamber of Commerce, and the unit price of each is clear, but as long as there is a large amount and a lot of variety, it is usually ended by the steward's fixed price.
So buy the same thing, find different people, the spread is usually very large. Some stewards are very dark, and some stewards lose money. There are also some magicians who are keen on price comparison, and like to find a lot of people to estimate and find the lowest price to buy.
In this situation, the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce are also helpless. Fortunately, there are not many such magicians, and most magicians would rather find a long-term, stable trading partner than re-establish a relationship of trust every time they trade.
I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Starry Sky of the Magic Tower", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
