Chapter 14 Helen Sue's Joy
Richard walked directly to the real yàn room, inserted the metal badge into the alchemy table, and then a clear magical image appeared, which recorded Richard's income and expenditure for the month. The Alchemy Table is powered by Mana Crystals, and the activation badge requires 5 mana, and Richard now wants to use all the mana to practice magic, and he is not willing to waste it on the activation badge.
When he saw the first line of the bill, Richard was dumbfounded. That line reads, Update 1 magic puppet puppet, totaling 1600 gold coins.
The Magic Golem is the Iron Statue that Richard used to practice fireball and other magic. As he passed by the magic proving ground, Richard had already seen a new doll replaced. Richard didn't have much concept of money, but he also knew that his mother had lived in Russelan Village for ten years, and all her savings added up to only a dozen gold coins. A large monster's fur is no more than a gold coin or two in the city, and hunting them requires adult hunters to risk their lives. Perhaps the richest village chief would have a fortune of hundreds of gold coins, many of which were salaries and bounties accumulated by the village chief during the army's settlement.
I just shot two fireballs and blew up 1,600 gold coins?
He began to recall a few details about the Iron Doll, and realized that the Doll didn't seem to be anything else remarkable except that its defense was almost identical to that of a standard half-body plate armor. Little Richard doesn't have a concept yet, and precision is the root cause of the high cost of steel dolls. The defense of ordinary magic dolls and standard military busts is within one or two energy levels, while the dark blue steel puppets are within one tenth of an energy level. The difference of an order of magnitude in error is nearly 30 times the difference. And energy level is a concept in magic, which roughly refers to the energy carried by a standard first-level magic magic missile.
Cold sweat continued to run down Richard's forehead, and the huge numbers were so overwhelming that he could barely breathe. The village of Rutheran is also the territory of the Holy Alliance, and the currency is interconnected with the dark blue. 1600 gold coins, for the current little Richard, is a debt that he can't afford to pay off for a lifetime. He doesn't like to be in debt, inherited from Illani's character, and the sacrifice of the goddess of the moon is unwilling to owe anything to anyone. The huge psychological pressure made Richard's eyes darken, and he finally calmed down and slowly looked down. Sure enough, as he thought, the prices of the following consumables were surprisingly high. For example, the unit price of the bottle of Magic Restoration Elixir was close to 500 gold coins. Seeing this, Richard felt completely different when he thought about the bottles of magic potions in the pharmacy room in the warehouse area. Those potions are labeled with properties and usage, and most of them are used to improve mana perception, affinity, and restoration. It is mainly used by magicians to speed up the process of cultivation.
In the more than a month before coming to Deep Blue, Richard had a preliminary understanding of the world beyond the mountains. At that time, he was shocked by the high price of the items in Yashan, but compared to the dark blue, the things in Yashan were as simple and cheap as if they didn't need money. Just like a bottle of magic rejuvenation, it is only 10 gold coins in Yashan, but it is 500 gold coins on the dark blue bill, a difference of 50 times.
However, what little Richard didn't know was that the magic power recovery potion sold in the Asan market only lasted for three hours, and the recovery fù acceleration effect was only 0.5 times. The bottle he drank lasted for 24 hours, and the acceleration effect was 1 times. Similarly, the result of a 16-fold increase in comprehensive performance is a 50-fold increase in price.
From rank promotion, to refining pharmaceuticals, and even to all walks of life, the more difficult it is to progress later, and the more expensive it is to pay each time you advance. So the pyramidal structure is almost universally used in all fields, and the concept that Richard Jr. just learned explains this from another angle, with decreasing margins.
At the end of the first page, Richard sees his total expenses for the month: a total of 18,000 gold coins.
Every second page is income, and Richard sees only one line on it. The name is a tuition subsidy, and the amount is 30,000 gold coins.
When looking at spending, Richard has grown accustomed to big numbers...... But he was still shocked by the large number of grants.
Don't say 30,000 gold coins, just a day ago, 30 gold coins was a huge amount of money that little Richard had never seen before, and he didn't know how to spend it. Life in the mountains was self-sufficient, and Richard couldn't even think of anything else to spend money on, except for the need to buy fabric.
But the 30,000 gold coins ...... "Can you fill this real room!" Richard, who had not yet recovered from his vertigo, looked at the huge alchemy real room and couldn't help but think.
It's just that when Richard's gaze swept over all corners of the real yàn, he got an accurate answer, if the ground is completely paved with imperial gold coins, then this real yàn room can be paved with ten thousand gold coins.
Little Richard shook his head vigorously, banishing the troubling numbers from his mind. There is no difference between 30,000 or 300,000, anyway, it is an unimaginable huge amount of money.
And the subsidy of 30,000 gold coins is only the beginning, there are still a few blank columns on the second page, only the name of the major category, and there is no income. It looks like they're going to be a source of income in the future. It's just that the last column makes Richard a little difficult to understand, 'Helen Su's joy', what type of income is this?
After calming down, Little Richard immediately discovered that the subsidy of 30,000 gold coins was actually not much. There are countless places to spend money in Deep Blue, this is only the first month, he spends most of his time in class, and the time to really start magic practice is less than a week, and the materials and materials consumed are even more pitiful, but the expenditure has reached 18,000 gold. What is certain is that it would be good for him to be able to maintain his balance of payments in the next month, and in another month, 30,000 gold coins would definitely not be enough.
Richard didn't think much of it, and although he still didn't have much concept of money, he at least knew that every day of studying in Deep Blue meant a lot of resources. Although there was a subsidy of 30,000 gold coins, Richard did not think that it was without a price. To be able to enter the deep blue and be able to study under the seat of the legendary mage, on the surface, it must be that the Marquis of Gordon used heavy resources, but the deeper reason is that Elani used her life to exchange this opportunity for Richard. Continental history and political structure are also important lessons for mages to learn, so Richard already has a preliminary understanding of Norland's world. At least he knew that the position of the legendary mage's personal student was something that countless big people in the empire dreamed of, and the Marquis of Gordon's strength and status were not outstanding, and he must have paid more than other big nobles to get such an opportunity.
There is no end to the exploration in the wizarding world, and Richard silently stopped the magic image, because the consumption of magic crystals also requires money. He put the badge in a prominent position. All the income and expenditure items have been engraved in the memory, even stronger than the memory magic, and then plunge into the learning of the wizarding world again.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye. Richard is immersed in the world of magic and numbers every day, barely feeling the passage of time. Now that he has been able to grasp the two innate abilities of wisdom and truth, the digital world is not only bizarre and boring, but also has many irreplaceable benefits. For example, as long as he is within the range of his perception, Richard can most intuitively understand the strength of others. For example, Minnie Mouse and Randolph, the other two students of Helen Su, who are now level 5 and level 6 magicians, are only fourteen years old. Minnie's mana is 70, while Randolph has reached an astonishing 110, which is no different from a seventh-level magician in terms of mana value alone. The two of them are not at the level of a mage, but their magic power far exceeds that of a mage of the same level. This means that they have more spell slots than mages of the same level, and this is the most direct difference in strength. What's more, being able to become Su Hailun's personal disciple must have something special in his own bloodline, and his strong bloodline ability is a key factor that can determine the battle situation in the battles of many high-level professionals.
It's just that every morning when he wakes up, Richard still can't help but see the raging fire in front of his eyes, and the figure of his mother in the firelight. Occasionally, there would be blood on the quilt, and it was he who bit his mouth in his sleep.
