Chapter 32: Middleman, focus on the present
And what Xia Duo is thinking at the moment is how to thoroughly use the qualifications for questioning. The cooperation with Donald can be regarded as downstream, and Xia Duo is very grateful if she asks questions specifically for them.
The upper reaches should be some motivated ordinary apprentices who are close to formal apprentices. They want to ask questions of formal masters or excellent apprentices, but they suffer from lack of qualifications, channels, or can’t afford the price. Now that Xia Duo has it, they don’t have to worry Up.
If they are willing to answer questions for Xia Duo, then Xia Duo is naturally willing to ask capable people for them.
The content of upstream transactions can naturally circulate downstream, and Xia Duo is the middleman.
This can be regarded as Xia Duo's unique resource, other formal apprentices either don't need ordinary apprentices at all, or the cost of hiring them is too high for ordinary apprentices to accept.
is also a qualification for questioning, and the psychological price that Xia Duo can accept is definitely far lower than other formal apprentices.
The appearance of Xia Duo forcibly opened up all the strata in the Mage Tower——
New apprentice, general apprentice, regular apprentice, official apprentice, official mage.
Originally, ordinary apprentices just wanted to become formal apprentices, and there was basically no need for the lower class, or the cost was too high; the situation of formal apprentices was similar, and they all wanted to move forward.
Xia Duo’s demand for new apprentices is gold coins, and his demand for other classes is knowledge. It may not have much overlap with formal apprentices, but it can overlap with other classes.
If you are a middleman, you can make the difference.
But after thinking about it, Xia Duo also wanted to become a real official apprentice, even an official mage. Thinking about it this way, she was still somewhat complacent, and she immediately calmed down.
Still need to work hard!
……
The basic process of being a middleman has been determined by Chardonnay, but when it is really implemented, it must be able to obtain a certain price difference, but also try to fit its own learning progress without delaying itself.
Gaining knowledge for upstream will inevitably affect his normal learning progress, and he needs to retrieve it from them, which is equivalent to the other party's exchange of low-level knowledge for the key knowledge from Xia Duowen. This balance needs to be mastered.
Sell at a low price in the downstream to obtain low-level knowledge from the upstream and obtain gold coins to maintain daily consumption.
Xia Duo will not forget his goal, and gaining the strength to protect himself is the first place. Making money or making a difference is only an aid, and he can't do things that make big mistakes.
For the time being, Dean is still a good partner. The knowledge he needs does not have to be asked by Xia Duo to find a formal mage. You only need to find an apprentice who teaches.
As for the future, if Dean can successfully become an official apprentice, then Chateau must find another ordinary apprentice who is in a bottleneck state. If not, he can continue to cooperate.
After returning to the dormitory floor, Chateau found Dean and promoted his cooperation plan. Dean just needed Chateau's help over there, and the two hit it off.
After confirming the cooperation plan, Chateau immediately asked: "Dean, can you tell me how to practice spellcasting?"
"Yes." Dean didn't refuse, but in fact he was a little resistant inside, because the faster Xia Duo progressed, the less he could be used, and there was no need to ask him about his lack of knowledge.
Although he resisted in his heart, Dean had no other choice. He knew that if he didn't want to, Chateau could find someone else. He was not the only apprentice stuck on the threshold.
"Practicing spellcasting, or just casting spells, is actually the same thing. It's just that the spells may not be triggered smoothly during practice. Spell casting is prohibited in the dormitory area. Let's go to the spell practice room."
"Then I will trouble you."
"It's not troublesome, I just got a little bit gained, I want to verify it."
Having said that, Dean still feels distressed, because he must have paid for the cost of renting the practice room.
……
On the way to the library floor, Xia Duo was unwilling to give up this time. During the enlightenment class, he had a question, but that question was still far away from Xia Duo. In addition to asking questions to sell, Xia Duo kept going. did not ask.
The cooperation between Chateau and Dean will continue until Dean becomes an official apprentice if there is no accident. Chateau doesn't care if Dean suffers by asking one more question, anyway, he does not suffer.
"Dean, do you know mental power?"
"Spirit? Power?" Dean puzzled, "What power is this?"
Xia Duo explained to Dean, the concept of mental power, because this word was coined by Xia Duo in Nese language, and there is no mental power in Nese language.
Hearing Chateau's explanation, Dean also showed some interest, "The soul is certain, and the soul does have power. That is not a specific power, but a description."
"Oh? What power does the soul have?"
"I don’t know this anymore, I just saw it accidentally in a book, but I can tell you for sure that I don’t have the kind of mental power you describe, and all the apprentices and wizards I know don’t have that power. ."
Xia Duo pondered. For a world with magic, it is impossible to say that he is not interested. Of course, what he cares most is the principle of magic. Before crossing, he wrote web articles, so he is no stranger to the theory of spiritual power.
The ability to cast spells, control the movement of objects, even invade the brain and produce hallucinations, are all mental power attributes in the novel, but such mental power does not seem to exist in the real magical world.
Of course, it is impossible for Chateau to think that what Dean said must be correct, but at present, even a wizard does not necessarily possess the kind of mental power that Chateau thinks.
"Then what do you think is the principle of casting spells?"
"Focus! The initiation class should have been covered." Dean puzzled.
"I know that there are three elements of spell casting, knowledge, magic net, and concentration, but what I want to know is, why can you cast a spell through concentration? Why can't you cast a spell by just thinking about it."
This is the question that Chateau has always had. Concentration seems to be just an adjective used to describe state ~www.readwn.com~ Casting spells with concentration is like filling your stomach with red, which is difficult to understand as a human being on earth.
But Dean doesn't seem to find it difficult to understand at all, "Focus is to focus. If you can cast a spell by just thinking about it, wouldn't the magic be out of control."
After thinking for a while, Dean said again: "Focus is the basis for us to contact and manipulate the magic net, just like throwing a stone and eventually falling off. What is incomprehensible."
what--
Xia Duo glanced at Dean suddenly. The example that Dean gave was simply too direct-viewing of universal gravitation, and thinking of the law of universal gravitation, Xia Duo instantly understood that he was stubborn.
The world before the journey is prosperous in science and technology. People always like to find the root problem, but in the end it will be attributed to an unexplainable point. For example, why the laws of the universe are like this and not like that?
Even the greatest scientist can't explain such a problem. Putting it into the magical world, focusing and casting spells are the laws of the world, which can summarize deeper laws, but I want to ask why the laws are like this. It is indeed a bit tricky.
Looking back at his own psychology again, Xia Duo understood why he was so entangled with concepts such as principles and laws. This was basically due to the anxiety of being in another world.
has seen the world before crossing, he is full of anxiety about the world that he still can't understand, and it is precisely because of this that he can't wait to gain the power to protect himself.
is definitely not just because of the anxiety about personal safety, but more because of the unconsciousness of the world in the subconscious.
After this psychology was penetrated, Xia Duo didn’t ask Dean any more distant questions. Instead, he focused on the present and set a small goal first.
Let the title of formal apprentice worthy of the name!
