Chapter 158 Life Support Ring

Joan opened the instruction manual, read it quickly, and found that this thing is really a ladder!

To be precise, it is called "folding ladder".

Just by reciting an activation mantra, this little toy can instantly inflate 16 times, becoming a steel ladder 32 feet long and two feet wide. When people are adventuring and traveling in the wild, they will inevitably need to climb mountains and wading. With this "folding ladder" that is easy to carry with you, you can easily climb up cliffs and sneak into caves.

The reason why the originally bulky and heavy steel ladder can shrink so small and light is entirely because of the 3-ring "Shrinkage Technique". Of course, Joan would not be polite. He analyzed the spell in the same way and copied it into his spell book.

Stretching his sore wrist, Joan picked up the third manual and found the corresponding magic tool, a boxy stone the size of a fist. There is nothing unusual about the stone itself, just ordinary marble, but the stone has been enchanted with the 1st ring spell "Magic Alarm", which can act as a siren.

When camping in the wild, put this "alarm stone" in the camp. If dangerous creatures approach the camp, the stone will automatically send out a sharp alarm to wake up the campers.

Qiao An admits that the "Alarm Stone" is very good, especially useful for people like him who often travel alone, but the price of 1200 Gold Duga is too high. Instead of spending money to buy it, it is better to copy the "Magic Alarm" and learn this 1 After the ring spell, just make a "alarm stone" of the same style by yourself.

There are also three magic devices on the counter, namely the "endless water bag" that can continuously produce clean water, the "campfire rosary" that can automatically turn into a pile of bonfires by chanting a mantra, and a magic ring. Qiao An checked them one by one with curiosity, first she was pleasantly surprised, but then she couldn't help but let out a disappointed sigh.

These three magic tools are very good, especially the last "life-support ring", which has the effect of refreshing the mind and restoring physical strength. After wearing this ring for a full week, wait until the magic power contained in the ring fully soaks into the owner's body. An additional miraculous effect will be produced-the wearer only needs to sleep for two hours a day, and can obtain the effect equivalent to eight hours of sleep! This is undoubtedly a great boon for mages who must maintain sufficient sleep every day to restore their spell slots, and it can save a lot of time that would otherwise be wasted on sleep to do more meaningful things!

This "life-support ring" fascinated Joan deeply, but it is a pity that the "grain creation" and "restoration" spells are needed to make this magical device, and these two spells are "divine spells". Joan is not a priest , Even if it is analyzed, it is impossible to learn these two divine arts.

The same is true for "Campfire Rosary" and "Endless Water Bag". This arcane spellcaster has no chance.

"Endless Water Bag" and "Campfire Rosary" are nothing more than nothing, Joan really likes "Survival Ring". With this ring, how much time can I save myself! It's a pity that the price of up to 3,500 Gold Duga made him daunting.

Just as he was holding the "Life-supporting Ring" reluctantly, a chuckle suddenly came from behind him. At some point, Mr. Havel came up behind him, reached out and patted his shoulder, and asked him gently, "Want this ring?"

Joan blushed and nodded embarrassingly.

"Unfortunately I can't afford it."

"3,500 Gold Durga is not a small amount. If I were to give it away for free, to be honest, I wouldn't be able to afford it either," Javier pulled a chair and sat down opposite Joan, took a deep breath with his pipe, and looked at the Joan's eyes asked: "In addition to tuition fees, how much money can you spend in total now?"

Joan made a quick calculation. I have a total of 3,500 Gold Duga on me, of which 1,500 Gold Duga has to be paid for tuition fees and cannot be used, so I told Javier the truth: "Besides the tuition fee, I have 2,000 Gold Duga left."

Javier stroked his chin and thought for a while, then asked Joan solemnly, "Would you like to hear my suggestion?"

"certainly!"

"3500 Gold Duga, it's cumbersome for you to carry so many gold coins with you, and there is no need to pay cash for tuition fees. My first suggestion is that you only keep some living expenses on you, and deposit the rest of the money with me. I will give it to you Open a deposit slip and give you some blank checks. When you need money, fill in the amount on the check and sign your name. Don’t dare to say anything else. If you walk into any store in Layton City, show us Yang All the checks issued by Boshang can be used as money, isn’t it more convenient than carrying a bag of heavy coins with you? Besides, you can earn some interest by depositing the money here.”

Javier was afraid that Joan, a kid from the countryside, would not understand banking business, so he simplified the explanation. Even so, he thought it was unlikely that Joan would accept this suggestion. It is difficult for a piece of colorful paper to be equivalent to the real money in his hand, and he is even a little worried that his good intentions will be misunderstood by Qiao An.

However, contrary to Javier's expectations, Joan actually agreed.

"It's really convenient, Mr. Havel, just do as you say." Noticing the surprise on Havel's face, Joan added softly, "When I was about to leave, my grandfather also told me to put the The money is deposited in a bank or a big business house, if you didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it."

"Your grandfather is a man who has seen the world." Javier smiled relievedly, and then said: "Let's talk about the 'life-support ring'. My purchase price for this ring is 3,500 Gold Duga. You can’t afford it even if you sell it, but you can pay 1,500 gold duga first, and the remaining 2,000 gold duga can be paid in installments.”

"Instalment payment?" Joan was once again confused by a buzzword in the city.

"Yes, this is called installment payment. It is a new business model that originated in the Far East of my hometown, the old continent. Simply put, it is to change the traditional shopping method of one-off payment into several payments, so that you don't have to raise money. A lot of money, which greatly relieves financial pressure, especially for those working class who receive a fixed weekly or monthly salary, they can take home expensive goods for a small sum, and then pay back part of it every payday The debt is owed until it is paid off." Javier explained with a smile.

Joan was still confused.

"Mr. Havel, I can understand the benefits of installment payments for buyers, but how can it benefit sellers?"

"Expensive products often have a narrow market. After all, there are too few people who can afford them. However, by paying in installments, we can sell such products to people who are in need but cannot afford them, thus opening up the market for such luxury goods. Sales." Javier answered him patiently.
