Chapter 291: Knowledge is Wealth, Entrepreneurship

Descending from the canopy of the Tree of Life, the group came to the location of the gravity well that was pulling the Iron King slowly up into the sky, and walked into it.

The gravity magic provides this area with a heavy ascending force, which is about 1.2 times the weight of the person who enters it, and it is finely controlled so that the ascent speed of the person entering it reaches a certain level and can stabilize it in time.

The guarantee that the entire Sky Fortress itself is above the Sky Dome is also a giant gravity magic array, a huge anti-gravity device, allowing the Sky Mechanical City to overcome its unimaginable weight.

Wang Yu and the others, together with the other elves who had been qualified to enter the Sky Machinery City this time, ascended in the gravity passage towards the city above.

As an existence that has a cooperative relationship with the elves of Leahim, Icarus introduced some rules of Sky Mechanical City to everyone at this time.

"This Sky City is even more shocking than what you have seen at the moment, and its true greatness is not limited to this huge alchemy creation like a mountain, but the knowledge that this Sky City carries, knowledge is wealth, which is common in all places in Sky Machinery City."

"Currencies such as gold coins, which are relatively common in various countries, cannot be used in Sky Machinery City, and the city has reserves of ordinary metal consumables beyond your imagination, even gold, a common material for alchemy and magic, is almost worthless."

As he spoke, Icarus used his spiritual power to communicate with a beautiful bracelet on his right wrist, and the space fluctuated, and more than a dozen cards made of unknown crystals appeared in his hand.

"Although some of the materials that are very precious and necessary for high-level alchemy will appreciate in the Sky Machinery City, it is better to keep these things by yourself, and you will understand later."

"So,Or "exchanging knowledge for wealth" is more suitable for you, this is a universal identity card, you can use this to access the magic network after you go up, and it will be your identity in Sky Machinery City in the future. ”

This card represents the most basic "citizen" status, if you are confident that you have this ability, you can consider taking the "scholar", "mentor", "professor", and other higher status, these statuses, in the Sky Mechanical City can bring you a lot of benefits. ”

Taking the card handed over by Icarus, Wang Yu unfolded the power of the chariot and roughly swept it.

He found that there were quite complex circles integrated into the small cards, and he had a little understanding of the science of magic circles, and observed that many miniature magic circles were engraved on the inside of the cards.

"It's a bit similar to the chip.,It's not that you can't do it anywhere else.,But even the identity can be made into a magic guide.,Sky Mechanical City.,It should indeed be the most developed place in the world's "technology". ”

"Inject a little magic and use mental power to communicate."

Icarus reminded everyone present of the use of their identity cards.

Avia helped Wang Yu, who couldn't use magic, activate the identity card, and then the two of them each connected the mental power with the magic circle used to connect with the spiritual power in the identity card, and successfully activated the identity card.

The card made of unknown crystals glows, and a number appears on it, "100", and next to the number is the word "citizen" written in lingua franca.

Wang Yu sensed it, and there was a thin line composed of magic power connected to this identity card, leading to the Sky Machinery City above, which should be the so-called "magic net".

"Will this thing be used to monitor our privacy?"

Wang Yu asked the girl who had a very high attainment in the magic circle, and he still had a certain vigilance about this kind of thing.

"Although there is no problem with locating through this kind of identity card, it should not be possible to directly use it to monitor privacy, for mages, the fluctuation of magic access is still obvious, and the administrator of the magic network will not choose this method that will cause conflicts."

Avia looked at the identity card in her hand for a moment, and basically understood the principle of the operation of the magic circle.

"You can see the number on this as the universal currency used in the Mechanical Floating City, which is similar to the magic crystal card used by various chambers of commerce, and you can directly use this to spend everywhere in the Mechanical Floating City."

"There are many ways to make money, enter the research institutes around the city to assist in research, enter the academy as a teacher, make outstanding new research results, and hand over the results to various societies in exchange for payment, or directly hand them over to the control organization of Sky Machinery City, the central council, and get rewards."

With Icarus's introduction to the function and function of the identity card, the ascent of the crowd was also coming to an end, and buildings began to appear above the exit of the gravity channel, and the head of the Iron King's huge body had already stepped out of the gravity channel.

"Boom, Boom."

Everyone reached the top of the gravity passage, and the gate under their feet slowly closed, turning into a flat and solid ground.

The place was an empty square, surrounded by several gravity wells like this one, and alchemy puppets were transporting boxes of alchemical materials from the tops of these gravity wells to the nearby city.

"Every stop in Sky Machinery City not only needs to bring new citizens to the city, but also needs to replenish alchemy consumables."

"If the new citizens are indispensable fresh blood, then these alchemical materials are the driving force that supports the flow of new and old blood."

Icarus motioned for the group to go with him, and gave a brief introduction to the situation.

Keeping up with Icarus, Wang Yu looked at the scene of this sky-sky city, there were many buildings, very mixed, and the styles seemed to be a little different, but on the whole, he felt very advanced.

Walking between the houses, it is easy to see that the layout of these buildings has obvious traces of planning, which is completely different from the mixed shops and residences of the elves and the human kingdom, and the tavern is connected to the weapon shop.

The overall layout of the house is roughly in the shape of a circle, built around a tall tower that can be seen from a long distance, and at the top of the tower, a huge ball of light is suspended, and a large number of materialized runes and magic loops rotate around it.

At this time, Avia shared the perfect fractal lens with Wang Yu, allowing Wang Yu to see the spectacular image created by the ball of light on the tower.

The overwhelming thread of magic was projected into the sky above the entire city by the ball of light, and the ball of light was directly connected to the existence of a similar magic node, which was carried by an alchemy machine suspended in the air.

These nodes spread the threads in all directions in all directions, connecting them to the buildings in the city.

The entire city is shrouded in these web-like magical threads, which is one of the most important components of Sky Mechanical City, the magic web, and most of the facilities are related to the ubiquitous magic network.

Walking through the streets of houses, Wang Yu noticed that the buildings here already had many of the characteristics of houses on earth.

For example, residential clusters in similar neighborhoods, as well as duplex multi-storey houses in the form of units, although the architectural styles are still very different, this is very rare in the kingdom on earth.

The layout of the houses where the transcendents live in close proximity to each other is at least indicative of the fact that the security here is very good, good enough for these transcendents to let down their vigilance about each other's strength.

Walking through residential areas, closer to the central business district, Wang Yu also witnessed the uniqueness of this sky-high city.

The type of shop is basically fixed in the same block, such as the alchemy consumables store, then there are such shops around.

It is different from the noisy and chaotic commercial district of the human kingdom, with constant shouting, and the slight emptiness brought by the peace of mind of the elves.

There are many kinds of races, elves, humans, and dwarves, which can be called prosperous and lively, but most of them have a clear purpose and go directly to their goals, and the merchants will not deliberately sell, and the customers will not wander around.

At the same time, it is still full of the atmosphere that gives Wang Yu a sense of busyness.

Without stopping to watch carefully, Wang Yu and his party still gave priority to following Icarus and reporting to the Truth Supervision Society, which had befriended the Leahim Elven Clan.

The Truth Guardian is one of the more senior members of the many societies in Sky Mechanic City, and is mainly engaged in the study of historical documents and the creation and optimization of new magic.

Located further down the business district, this is an area for various societies and colleges.

After entering this area, Wang Yu found that the atmosphere here is a little more lively than the commercial area outside, or rather, much warmer.

I thought it would be the same quiet and academic atmosphere as the Intracity neighborhood where Stevenson College is located, but as soon as he entered, he heard an old man scolding.

"It's definitely your experimental data that is wrong, my theoretical value has been calculated for five or six years, and it has been calculated no less than three thousand times! How could there be a problem? If we continue like this, we can't verify the correctness of our theory, we have to learn to get out of the way from the beginning, can you do it! ”

Looking at the place where the noise came from, it was a sound coming from a café-like shop on the side of the road.

An old man with gray hair and sunken eyes sat by the window, holding a roll of paper full of data, and scolded a young man with disheveled hair on the other side, who was also not very good-looking

"Damn, it's not that the experimental equipment you provided is too bad, I can't ignore the interference conditions of magic power and void at all, so I can only do it hard, and there is no way to do it if there is an error, understand?"

"You harsh old guy can only find me to help you continue your research, and I still have time, you half-cut old thing, and you still want to make any research results that can be accepted by the Central Council?"

"If you keep chattering at me like this, I'll quit, and you go find someone else who is willing to help you perfect your theory!"

The young man seemed to be annoyed by what he said, and he slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the old man's nose and roaring angrily.

"Good...... Okay, my bad, I'll go and apply for a grant to see if I can get you a better set of equipment. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and after a slight pause, his momentum weakened, and it was clear that, as the young man said, this theory was too important for the old man.

The pedestrians walking around seemed to be familiar with such a scene, and even if they shouted loudly, no one stopped to watch.

"It's normal, it may be that your ability can't match the thing you want to study, or that your ability is enough but you don't have enough funds to complete the verification, there are many such people in Sky Machinery City."

"For example, they, a theoretical scholar, and an experimental operator, are very reluctant to get together, and it is difficult to make results themselves."

"But if you give up, the cost cannot be recovered, you can only continue with the head-on, they will most likely not completely fall out, the scholars have no time to change the direction of research, and the experimenters have no ability to find better collaborators."

Icarus gave his followers a brief explanation of the two on the side of the road, and that this area where scholars gathered needed more places like taverns than outside.

Releasing pressure and negotiating matters are all necessary, and research is never something that can produce results.

"Sky Machinery City is a temple of knowledge, but not everyone can find their own place, and where they can go depends on their own abilities and opportunities."

"But you're okay, your talent is definitely not bad, and our Truth Supervision Association will also help take care of it, so that you won't be like those people whose fathers climbed to the Sky Machinery City, but they couldn't get any results, and they could only do the lowest level of mechanics in order to make a living."

Wang Yu didn't feel anything wrong with the "cruelty" of the Sky Machinery City after the halo faded, where there are people, there is competition, and there will be a way to divide this kind of thing no matter what, and it will not change because of advanced technology, and it is not a utopia.

Leading everyone to the door of a spacious building, the people who walked in and out greeted each other politely after seeing Icarus, it seems that this is the Truth Supervision Council where Icarus is located.

"Lancer, I've brought the new people here, and I'll give them a place to live."

Walking into the lobby of the building, Icarus chatted with the middle-aged man sitting at the front desk, and after getting the keys to his quarters from him, he handed them to the people present.

"This is the key to your quarters, and it has the corresponding number on it, so I won't take you there."

"So, are you interested in joining our Truth Watching? It is possible to make money by studying historical documents and researching new theories together, and the pay may not be the best, but you should be considered a suitable job for the first time. ”

Icarus invited everyone present, saying that it was an invitation, but it was actually help, after all, they had just come here, and there was a high probability that they would not find any way to make money if they broke away from the Truth Supervision Society.

Everyone had no opinions, and the elves all chose to join the Truth Supervision Society, and after Wang Yu and the four of them discussed it, Avia asked Icarus a question.

"Mr. Icarus, can Sky Mechanical City allow you to earn money by helping others process alchemy materials?"

Icarus pondered for a moment and replied with some inquiry.

"Sky Machinery City allows any consensual transaction, you say naturally no problem, but the remuneration you can get from processing materials on behalf of you is quite low, you have to rely on this to get money?"

"Well, the treatment of low-level materials should indeed be the same as you said, but what about the processing of those high-level materials?"

After Avia answered in the affirmative, she asked another question.

"If you handle high-level materials, you can get a good reward, but if you don't have all the equipment, you can't do it, can you do it?"

Raising his eyebrows, Icarus didn't understand the girl's intentions, and he was paid for processing alchemy materials, the other party shouldn't have such conditions, right?

Zig and Avia glanced at Wang Yu next to them at the same time, and then the girl nodded.

With Wang Yu here, it's really not necessarily.

They have some plans in Sky Machinery City, and the first step of the plan is to start a business, and the first step in starting a business is to get start-up capital.
