05 - The Power of Wealth

"Canned knowledge can help you quickly grasp this knowledge, and these are treasures produced by the Akademiya, and the quality is trustworthy."

The little businessman smiled kindly.

Objectively speaking, canned knowledge is indeed a great invention.

With the help of the Void Terminal, people can easily store knowledge and then instill it directly into the brain.

"So, at what cost?" Rama asked.

"It doesn't come at a cost, after all, the Akademiya has been using these things for so many years." Dolly replied with a sincere answer, "The Akademiya wants [canned knowledge circulating without the permission of the Akademiya], not the canned knowledge itself." ”

The same kind of knowledge, but with the permission of the Akademiya, it can be traded legally.

The Akademiya does not allow it, it is a contraband that needs to be wanted.

Dolly wasn't lying.

She gave a reasonable but incorrect answer to the fact that the Akademiya itself was using canned knowledge—there was no cost.

After all, if the person who proposes a technology is willing to use it himself, then others will naturally think that canned knowledge is harmless.

People use it themselves, don't they?

"Forget it," Rama shook his head, "although it's very exciting, canned knowledge is much more expensive than books, so I'd better take it back and study it myself." ”

No, that's what you say, but you don't really want canned knowledge in the first place, right?

Dolly blinked and asked with interest, "Take it back to study?" ”

She glanced at the order Rama had taken out.

Coming out to do business, Dolly certainly can't carry all the goods with her.

She accepts reservations, and wherever the other party is, as long as she can take out the mora, she will definitely bring the goods to its owner.

Dolly didn't study at the Akademiya, but that didn't stop her from knowing about the cargo.

"You're a scholar?"

Her gaze lingered on Tadra for a moment, then at Rama.

In the land of Sumeru, only the Akademiya will produce scholars as a resource.

But Rama was followed by an obvious desert dweller, who was clearly not the kind of Hound that had already been recruited by the [Group of Thirty].

Desert folks own scholars?

"Study something that doesn't work." Rama shook his head.

"No problem, I can get my hands on all of these things, but the price may be a little expensive." Dolly didn't ask much.

The guest's secret is the guest's own business, and the merchant only needs Mora in his pocket and does not need to care about the guest's own secrets.

Of course, if secrecy can bring benefits, it is not impossible to think carefully.

But the secret of the desert - apart from the legacy of the Red King, can this group of desert people have any other secrets?

Dolly is also interested in the Red King's technology, and because she wants to discover the Red King's legacy, she knows more.

The Red King's legacy does not bless the Red King's people.

The King of the Red Sands did leave many traces in the vast desert, but he didn't care about his people.

"No problem, please send it to the Tanit tribe, and the tribe will pay the bill."

Moro got up and left.

Dolly's answer made him feel the reality of the world even more.

Obviously, it is impossible for this great merchant of Sumeru not to know the price of canned knowledge.

But she never said it, because canned knowledge is also her commodity.

Merchants don't mention defects in their own goods, they just cover a fatal flaw in a casual tone.

When you want to pursue it later, she will innocently remind me that she said it, but you just didn't notice.

Obviously, Dolly is also such a businessman.

She will show the sincerity of a businessman in front of someone in the future, but in front of many others, she is just a businessman.

When a businessman does business, he only needs to care about the business itself.

After Rama left, Dolly stretched.

"Okay, let's take some time to take a look in the desert in the future."

She was a little curious, although there were not many of them, but since it seemed that there was a business opportunity, she might as well go and see it.

It's a drop-in thing anyway.

Dolly has caravans to and from the desert, and she only needs to go with them once to see if there are any business opportunities.

Rama on the other side restrained his expression.

It was a bonus.

Objectively speaking, the value of this knowledge is very limited.

The knowledge of LV3 and the elemental forces of LV4 are different.

The elemental power of the fourth level is actually enough in the mortal link, but there are gods in this world, and when the gods exist, the level calculated only among mortals is no longer enough.

But the knowledge of the third level has actually stood at the upper limit of mortals.

If it continues, it will no longer be a human technology, but will need to be mixed with something special.

The cornerstone of technology is energy, and the technology tree cultivated by Rama is the most orthodox elemental technology tree in Teyvat.

Because the energy required for the machinery he builds is the elemental force.

But elemental forces are not Teyvat's optimal solution.

This world has shown more strange powers, and the elemental power is not ranked among them.

"Is that enough?"

Tadela asked in a low voice.

"It's enough," Rama nodded, "If you really want to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, the only way is to enter the Palace of Wisdom." ”

"Now this situation is enough."

Buying books is just a cover.

With the amount of knowledge he has now, if he wants to rely on books for inspiration and breakthroughs, he must either increase the amount or the works of a master like Albedo.

The dozens of books bought by this kind of smuggling can only be said to be of limited value.

What Rama values is the other part.

He single-handedly dismantled the alchemical products Dolly was selling, his brow occasionally furrowed.

Dolly started with Alice, who one day met Alice with a magic lamp in her Mosuo storeroom.

The specific process doesn't matter, it's nothing more than the process of the mother seeing a pitiful little heart of the same age as her daughter, so she lends a hand.

Ordinary people can only give some food, but Alice is not an ordinary person.

She casually took out some alchemy products, which were the best-selling goods in the entire market.

Next, as long as you meet a suitable businessman, you can maximize the value of the goods.

Dolly is this qualified businessman.

It's not that this girl only has luck in her, if she has something, she can get rich, so she sees business as too simple.

She has her own abilities, and she bumped into an alchemy master like Alice, which can only be said to be lucky, so after years of business, she became the premier businessman in Sumeru.

In the process of dismantling, Rama's alchemy experience began to rise.

After a while, he shook his head, "She's really in the wrong place." ”

Tadela was a little confused.

"If it's Liyue, wealth brings power, because the Seven Stars of Liyue are the seven most capable businessmen."

But this is Sumeru.

The power of wealth can only be silenced and kept a low profile in front of the Akademiya.

Because they really can be unreasonable.
