Chapter 165: Master Wayne has no money
The time passed quickly, and with the help of Amya, Wayne found many books about herbs, potions, monsters, curses, and all kinds of books related to witchers one after another.
Counting the ones he had already studied, there were five or six hundred books in total.
And these were the ones he picked out on the first day, and on the entire library floor, less than a tenth of the books he had read had been read.
In the Middle Ages, no matter what book, what knowledge was quite expensive, coupled with the imperfection of printing technology, the secrecy of knowledge, the value of a book in general, depending on the content, was between a dozen or a dozen or several hundred orren.
Wayne could already imagine how much he would have to spend if he wanted to buy these books.
However, being able to buy books from Erethusa College is another incredible opportunity for many people.
Of all the witchers, he is probably the only one who can have this ability, and he can obtain this knowledge in such a way that he does not fight and does not offend the Warlock Brotherhood.
Thinking of this, Wayne couldn't help but sigh.
Unfortunately, he built such a huge Wayne manor in Middle-earth, hired dozens of hobbits to work for him, and developed such a large plantation, which cost him almost all of his savings, and there was not much money left in the storage bag.
In a word, Master Wayne has no money!
Unless he opened all the treasure chests in the system now, he would probably be able to barely scrape together close to 10,000 Oren, but this was the wealth he had accumulated for two years.
It was already August of 1251, and the lucky day of the month had not yet arrived, and he was not ready to open the box and touch the prize.
Thinking of this, Wayne immediately thought of Vivien and the goddess of wealth behind her, spending your own money is the way of an honest person, and spending the bank's money is the way of a smart person.
Perhaps, it's time to find that beautiful little guy and talk about business cooperation.
When it was time for dinner, Emia led Wayne to Triss's residence, a luxurious room with a balcony in the middle of a round tower, beautifully decorated, with floors, walls and many amenities of the highest specification, as well as a huge soft princess bed with its own bathroom and kitchen.
All of these show the wealth and power of the Erethusa Academy, in short, it is not bad for money.
Out of politeness, he also invited the young girl Emia, who had been with him all afternoon, to stay and eat with him.
However, perhaps due to the disparity in status in the academy, or the girl's own personality, Amya declined his invitation despite some emotion, and after politely bidding him farewell, she left the room.
Wayne didn't care, he looked at the sky, and seeing that it was still early for dinner, he closed the door to the house, locked it, and went to a study in the back of the house.
He took the delicate black money bag from his belt, pulled the golden string from the money belt, and shouted softly to the black pocket inside:
"Vivien, Vivien!"
After Wayne shouted twice, in less than a second, a female elf the size of a palm, wearing a short skirt and shirt, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, dressed as a female secretary, flew out of the money bag.
After flying out of the purse, the elf circled around Wayne's head, and with a pleasant laugh from his mouth, flew to his ear, stood on Wayne's shoulder, kissed him fiercely, and then flew to the table in front of Wayne, looked at him with shining eyes, and said:
"Lord Wayne, do you have any orders for calling Vivien?"
Wayne took out seven or eight gold coins from his pocket as usual, put them in front of Vivien, and took them as her tip, and then said in the elf's flattering eyes:
"Vivien, how much money do I have in your wealth bank?"
When Vivien heard this, she didn't even need to think, and immediately replied:
"Lord Wayne! Your deposit in our bank, if converted to Oron, is about five hundred and thirty-two, and if you convert it to Hobbit gold, it is about six hundred and fifty. ”
"Of course, at the moment, as long as you are exposed to all the currencies, we can do interest-free conversions without any fees."
Wayne nodded, in the two years in Middle-earth, he had already conducted many currency exchange services from Vivien, exchanging Oron from the wizarding world for gold coins in Middle-earth.
A certain trust and tacit understanding had been established between the two parties, at least he would no longer use Vivien as a bait for the evil god, and he also had a certain trust in the power of the goddess of wealth in her mouth.
"I'm not trying to get the money, Vivien."
"Didn't you tell me before, like most banks, you have a loan business, how does this business work?"
Hearing that Wayne wanted to handle the loan business, Vivien immediately perked up, reached out and patted the eight gold coins lightly, and the gold coins disappeared in front of her eyes out of thin air.
She fanned her butterfly-like wings and flew to Wayne's eyes, and then with a light clap of her hands, a book-sized paper contract appeared on the table in front of Wayne.
Vivien said excitedly as she danced happily above Wayne's head:
"Master Wayne, we've written down all the notes on that piece of paper about the loan."
"According to the credit rating of each customer, you are currently a silver-level customer in our bank, with a loan amount of 100,000 Oren, and the annual interest payment is about 10%."
"However, according to the rules of the goddess of wealth, if you want to carry out loan business, you must sign a cooperation contract with us wealth elves."
"You can't use the loan business during the probationary period that you have been procrastinating before."
For this situation, Wayne actually had a prediction in his heart, for the past two years, he has been delaying with various excuses, and has not signed a contract with Vivien.
To be honest, he really doesn't want to sign any contract with any gods, devils or other supernatural creatures, in addition to certain dangers, it will also make his fate and those gods, devils and the like, unnecessary entanglements, quite troublesome.
But I have to say that the cross-world banking system provided by Vivian is really easy to use, in addition to being able to deposit and withdraw money at any time, there are also additional functions such as loans and the purchase of wealth management products, which almost all banks in this era have.
And according to what Vivien told him, if Wayne is promoted to a Gold customer, he can also open a function called the loot acquisition window.
He can sell loot that he can't carry, or that he doesn't need, directly to the bank to get a deposit.
Although the selling price will be about half lower than the market price, as a handling fee, but the bank of the goddess of wealth can buy it indefinitely, and basically as long as it is valuable, it can be purchased.
It's almost the same as fighting monsters and brushing money, and you don't need to worry about the loot you get wasted at all.
Wayne picked up the piece of paper provided by Vivien, read it seriously, and read it three or four times again and again, and after confirming that there were no traps or tricks in the contents, he said to the fortune elf, who had been in an excited mood:
"Come on, Vivien, let's make the contract official! How is this deed signed? ”
Vivien grinned, flapped her wings, flew to Wayne's right hand, hugged his index finger under his gaze, and then showed a big smile and said:
"It's easy to sign a contract with our wealth elves, just let us take a bite and suck a little blood."
"The strength of our wealth elves is related to the deposits of customers in the bank and the value they bring to the goddess of wealth."
"As long as you deposit more and more money, Mr. Wayne, my ability will become stronger and stronger, and I will be able to provide you with more and more services."
"So, Lord Wayne, are you sure you want to sign a cooperation contract with me?"
"This is a contract without any constraints, except that the Goddess of Fortune has created an official protected account for you through the breath of your blood and soul."
"Neither any restraint nor any harm to you."
"The Goddess of Fortune doesn't need your faith, she doesn't need your soul, all she needs is to have more wealth!"
