The cost of studying at [Kemo University] for an innocent girl who doesn't know anything about the world is expected to be too low!

Jialan, who used to be a teaching assistant and lecturer, knows very well that if you don't look at the tuition fee for an academic year at [Kemo University], it is only 200 gold talans.

But in fact, this part of the cost is the most insignificant part of the whole learning process, and the real part of the money is the "tuition and miscellaneous fees" such as book fees, test fees, material fees, lecture fees, etc.

Take the "book fee" as an example, although the cost of basic learning materials is included in the tuition fee, some precious arcane books, spell materials, especially some high-level mage experience manuscripts, cannot be released to students for free!

In Jialan's original era, not to mention buying a spell book directly, the price of just copying a 0-order arcane book by yourself would not be less than 50 gold coins, let alone a higher-level one.

And how much does it cost to transcribe books in this era, Jialan is not very clear for the time being, but he has already served as the new librarian, and he has already learned from the "Administrator's Manual" issued to him that [Kemo University Library] also has this kind of service, considering the price and consumption level of this era, I think the price will not be too low.

Books that symbolize "knowledge" are an expensive luxury, and writing paper and ink are also luxuries in this era.

A one-square-meter piece of writing paper is worth 4 silver jims, but it can only cut out 35 standard pages of paper, which means that if you want to bind a standard 100-page book, you need at least 1 gold talan and 2 silver jims, and even if you use parchment paper, which is half the price, the price will not be as low as that.

And the sea ink used for writing (a kind of super-thick ink of the spear squid that is not easy to fade), even if the [Kelan City] located by the sea is one of the production areas, a small bottle of 30 grams, the price will not be less than 8 Jintaran, how can you use one or two small bottles to transcribe a standard 100-page book......

This is just the cost price of making a book, you can imagine why some people say "knowledge is the patent of the nobility", and "the world of magic (knowledge), please mortals (the poor) go away!", right?

Therefore, Alan only "borrowed" 300 gold talan from Jialan, not to mention that he could last until the end of the semester, and it was not enough to copy a few more books, not to mention the cost of testing and materials that had almost no upper limit.

Frequent experimentation is inevitable in order to understand the mysteries of magic, and it is impossible to truly touch the core content of magic with written theoretical knowledge alone.

The materials required for a trial can range from hundreds to thousands, or even tens of thousands, so it can be said that the experience of a spell caster is completely dependent on the accumulation of a large number of gold coins, which is only enough for 300 gold talans.

However, Jialan didn't need to tell the girl this, she just smiled and said: "300 gold talan? Of course, you can! But the dividends of the pharmacy workshop still have to be paid to you, and this part of the loan will be deducted from your dividends! In addition, after the school starts, you don't have to go to the pharmacy workshop to ...... you."

"Eh, what are you doing?

The girl nervously clasped her little hands together and prayed, "I will work hard!

Compared to working in a tavern, restaurant, etc., the salary in the pharmacy workshop is much higher, and she has access to knowledge and skills related to the [pharmacy] discipline she applied for.

"Don't worry, it's not because you didn't do well there that I won't let you go!"

Jialan explained with a smile: "It's just that after the start of school, the task of studying will be very heavy, and if you go to work part-time, I'm afraid it will affect your studies, and you don't want to pay 50% of the tuition fee to the college because of insufficient credits in the next academic year, right?"

Alan was a little entangled: "But... But..."

But Jialan, who has slowly become familiar with Alan's character, knows how to persuade this simple girl, and said with a sly smile: "If you plan to find a part-time job, I can introduce you to one, I have already found a work-study job in the college library before, and the salary is very high!"

Slowing down slightly, Jialan used the seductive/confusing words of the [bluffing] skill to confuse Alan: "In addition, I am also involved in the research of potions in the academy laboratory, you can use the identity of an assistant to help me develop potions, so that I can apply for a scholarship for you from the academy, waive some tuition and miscellaneous fees, and improve your [pharmacy] level!"

"Really? Really?"

The girl's eyes widened and she looked at Jialan with adoration: "Jialan, you are so good, you have found such a good part-time job so quickly! I want to go! I want to go!"

Jialan made a smug look and snorted: "Then from now on, I will be your boss! Remember to report in the big library every day after the class! If I am late, I will deduct my salary!"

"I promise!"

The girl jumped up like a rabbit and jumped around Jialan excitedly, not even realizing that Jialan had deliberately sent her back to the girls' dormitory of the college.

Handing over a large bag of blankets, bedding, ** sheets and other items to Alan that she was carrying along the way, Jialan watched the girl happily run into the dormitory with a bunch of things, and then breathed a sigh of relief, shook her sore arm, and planned to return to the administrator's rest room next to the big library with her share.

But before he could go too far, he heard Alan hurrying after him, and the girl was a little out of breath because of running, and a touch of blush appeared on her delicate little face, and she muttered and complained, "Why don't you wait for me?"

Jialan was a little stunned, the girl took the initiative to take some items in his hand to help carry them, seeing Jialan looking at herself, she blinked her round eyes: "Aren't you going to have dinner?" When I was taking the theory test, I heard some classmates say that the spice-roasted antelope leg in the college cafeteria is very delicious, let's go and taste it together?

Looking up at the darkened sky, Jialan realized that it was dinner time, and he hurried back to the big library, flipping through the books, and he completely forgot about dinner.

Looking at the girl's expectant eyes, Jialan smiled and said, "Okay!"
