City of Sin: 14th Sharon’s Delight
Richard went directly to the laboratory, inserted the metal badge into the alchemy table, and then a clear magic image appeared, which recorded Richard's revenue and expenditure this month. The alchemy station is powered by Magic Crystal, and the activation badge needs 5 points Mana. Richard now uses all Mana to practice magic, but is not willing to waste it on the activation badge.
Seeing the first line of the bill, Richard was dumbfounded. That line reads, update one magic puppet puppet, totaling 1600 gold coins.
Magic puppet puppet, is a steel figure used by Richard to practice Fireball Spell and other magic. When passing by the Magic Proving Ground, Richard has seen a new puppet replaced. But such a thing needs 1600 gold coins? Richard does not have much concept of money, but also knows that her mother has lived in Rutherland Village for ten years, and the total savings add up to only a dozen gold coins. A large Demon Beast fur is only the price of one or two gold coins in the city. To hunt them, it takes adult hunters to risk their lives. Perhaps the richest village heads will have a wealth of hundreds of gold coins, many of which are the military pay and bounty accumulated by the village heads when the military accounts.
I only shot two fireballs, and blew up 1600 gold coins?
He began to recall all the details about the steel puppet, and then found that the puppet seemed to have nothing other than the defensive force and the standard half-length plate armor. Little Richard has no concept yet, and precision is the fundamental reason why steel dolls are expensive. The error tolerance of ordinary magic dolls and military standard half body plate armor is between one and two energy levels, while the error of dark blue steel dolls is within one tenth of the energy level. The difference in the order of magnitude of the error is the cost difference of nearly thirty times. The energy level is also a concept in magic, roughly referring to the energy carried by a standard Level 1 magic magic missile.
Cold sweat continued to flow down from Richard's forehead, and the huge numbers made him almost unable to breathe. Rutherland Village is also the territory of Sacred Alliance, currency and dark blue are interlinked. 1600 gold coins, for the current Little Richard is a debt that can't be paid for a lifetime. He doesn't like debt, which is inherited from the character of Elena. Goddess of the Moon's Shaman is not willing to owe anything to others. The huge psychological pressure made the Richard black, and finally calmed down and slowly looked down. Sure enough, as he thought, the prices of the following consumables are astonishingly high. For example, the unit price of that bottle of Mana Recovery Potion is close to 500 gold coins. Seeing this, when Richard thought of the bottle Magic Potion in the Potion room in the warehouse area, the feeling was completely different. Those Potions have labels that mark performance and usage, and are mostly for auxiliary Potion such as improving Mana perception, affinity and recovery. It is mainly used by Mages to speed up the cultivation process.
In the more than a month before coming to Deep Blue, Richard had a preliminary understanding of the world outside the mountain. At the time at Azan, he was shocked by the high price of the items, but compared to dark blue, the things in Azan were simple and cheap as if they were not money. Just like a bottle of Mana Recovery, it is only 10 gold coins in Azan, but it is 500 gold coins on the dark blue bill, a difference of 50 times.
However, Little Richard does not know that the duration of Mana Recovery Potion sold on the Azan market is only three hours, and the recovery acceleration effect is only 0.5 times. The potency of the bottle he drank lasted for 24 hours, and the acceleration effect was doubled. Similarly, a 16-fold increase in overall performance results in a 50-fold price increase.
From level promotion, to refining Potion, and even all walks of life, the more difficult it is to progress, the higher the cost for each advance. So the pyramid structure is a structure that is common in almost all fields, and the concept that Little Richard has just learned interprets this principle from another angle, with decreasing margins.
At the end of the first page, Richard saw his total expenditure this month: a total of 18,000 gold coins.
Every two pages are income, Richard only saw one line above. The title is tuition subsidy, the amount is 30,000 gold coins.
When looking at expenditures, Richard has gradually become accustomed to big numbers ... but he is still shocked by the large numbers of subsidies.
Do n’t say 30,000 gold coins, just a day ago, 30 gold coins is a huge amount that Little Richard has never seen, and I do n’t know how to spend it. The life in the mountains is self-sufficient. In addition to the need to purchase fabrics, Richard can't even think of anything else that needs to be spent.
But 30,000 gold coins ... "Can you fill this laboratory!" Richard, who had not recovered from the dizziness, looked at the huge alchemy laboratory and couldn't help thinking.
It was only after Richard ’s eyes swept across the corners of the experiment that he got an accurate answer. If the ground is completely laid with imperial gold coins, then 333,000 gold coins can be laid in this laboratory.
Little Richard shook his head vigorously, driving out these disturbing figures from his mind. There is no difference between 30,000 and 300,000, anyway, it is an unimaginable huge sum.
And the subsidy of 30,000 gold coins is just the beginning. There are a few blank columns on the second page, only the names of the major categories, and no income. It seems that they will be the source of income in the future. It ’s just that the last column makes Richard a little difficult to understand, ‘Sharon's Delight’, what type of income is this?
After calming down, Little Richard found out that the subsidy of 30,000 gold coins was actually not much. There are countless places to spend money in the dark blue, this is only the first month, he spends most of his time in class, the time to start the magic practice is less than a week, and the materials and materials consumed are scarce, but the expenditure has Reached 18,000 gold. What is certain is that it will be good for him to maintain the balance of payments next month. After another month, 30,000 gold coins will definitely not be enough.
Richard did n’t think about it anymore. Although he still does n’t have much concept of money, he at least already knows that every day of studying in Deep Blue means the consumption of a lot of resources. Although there is a subsidy of 30,000 gold coins, Richard does not think it is free. Being able to enter Deep Blue and being able to study under the seat of Legendary Mage, on the surface, it must be that Marquis Gordon has used significant resources. However, the deeper reason is that Elena used his life for Richard in exchange for this opportunity. Continental history and political structure are also important courses for masters, so Richard has a preliminary understanding of the world of Norland. At least he knew the position of Legendary Mage's pro-biography students, but what countless big men of the empire dreamed of getting. The strength and status of Marquis Gordon was not outstanding. To get such an opportunity, he must pay more than other Great Noble.
The exploration in the magic world is endless. Richard silently stopped the magic image, because the consumption of Magic Crystal also requires money. He put the badge in a conspicuous position. All income and expenditure items have been engraved in memory, even stronger than memory magic, and then plunged into the learning of the magic world again.
Two months passed in an instant. Richard is immersed in the world of magic and numbers every day, and hardly feels the passage of time. Now that he has mastered the two talents 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 scope of his perception, Richard can most intuitively understand the strength of other people. For example, Minnie and Randolph, the other two students of Sharon, and now Mage of Level 5 and Level 6, are only fourteen years old. Minnie's Mana is 70, and Randolph has reached an astonishing 110. The value of Mana alone is already the same as Level 7 Mage. The two did not say the division level, that is, the amount of Mana far exceeded the Mage of the same level. This means that they have more spell slots than mages of the same level, which is the most direct strength gap. What's more, to be able to become a disciple of Sharon, his bloodline must be special, and his powerful bloodline ability is a key factor in determining the battle situation in the battle of many High Rank professionals.
Just wake up every morning, Richard will still be involuntarily in front of the blazing fire, and the figure of the mother in the firelight. Occasionally, there will be blood stains on the quilt, that is, he bit his mouth in his sleep.
