Chapter 181 Hardworking Genius

Joan clearly remembered that the old dwarf Flint Anvil said two very incisive words.

"time is money!"

"Higher efficiency can be equated with lower cost!"

It can be seen that this simplified version of the construction process designed by myself is very valuable!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he decided to try to make an "activated scarecrow" according to his own ideas after completing this stage of the construction course.

However, as soon as he thought about it, he thought that making the "activated scarecrow" required a lot of magic crystals as an enchantment stabilizer, and also needed a 4-ring scroll of "Secondary Commandment" and a more expensive 4-ring scroll of "Secondary Oath Binding". With their current assets, it is obvious that they cannot afford such an expensive manufacturing cost.

The cruel reality forced Qiao An to deeply realize that being a mage is a profession that burns money.

In this line of work, you can't be short of money if you are short of anything.

No matter how talented a poor mage is, it is difficult to produce decent academic results.

Only after achieving financial freedom like Master Rawls, can he have the capital to engage in his favorite research work as he pleases.

It seems that the top priority is to try to make money, make a lot of money!

Suppressing this temporarily unrealizable idea, Joan listened intently.

The last thing that Mr. Rawls taught today was the special enchanting process of constructs.

He still took the example of "activated scarecrow".

When the scarecrow has a body and soul, and completes the basic enchantment, you can give him a broom and send it to patrol the fields.

If there are birds pecking at the grains, the scarecrow can scare the birds away by waving the broom twice.

But if a tramp came to steal the corn, or a wild boar came to destroy the crops, the other party would not pay attention to a mere scarecrow at all, and would not be able to scare him away or beat him, so what should we do?

"Considering that scarecrows sometimes encounter enemies that are more difficult than birds, it is necessary for us to add special abilities to them. These special abilities are realized through corresponding enchanting techniques."

Master Rawls opened the drawer and took out a "spring box" from it to show the students.

"Put this 'window box' into the body of the 'activated scarecrow', and it can gain a special ability. Whenever it encounters a thief or a beast and the expulsion is invalid, it will automatically trigger the 1-ring 'frightening technique' to frighten the opponent. , Stop the crime and flee the scene.”

The total cost of an "activated scarecrow" equipped with this "window box" does not exceed 4500 Gold Duga, and the cost is mainly concentrated in the enchantment of the 2nd ring "secondary item activation", 4th ring "secondary command" and The price of the 7-ounce magic crystal used for the 1st ring of "Fear Art" is about 6,000 Gold Durga.

Joan quickly calculated in his mind.

For every "activated scarecrow" sold, Master Rawls made a net profit of 1,500 Gold Duga.

A profit margin of up to 30% may be called huge profits in other industries, but for the commercial structure market that has been in short supply, this is considered small profits but quick sales.

The "Activated Scarecrow" produced by Master Rawls is very popular in the Yalfheim area. The backlog of orders in his hands has reached three digits. He is really too busy, so he specially released a job advertisement after class:

Students are welcome to come to the laboratory to help him in their spare time. Voluntary registration is not required. Every time a qualified scarecrow is processed, you can get 2 gold Dujia rewards.

For Joan, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to earn pocket money.

With his craftsmanship, isn't it just like playing with a scarecrow every day?

The commission of 2 gold coins is quite impressive in the eyes of a poor boy like him, not to mention that it is not restricted by the guild.

Thinking of this, Joan secretly decided: "Unless you find a more profitable job, you might as well spare some time to come to the laboratory to earn extra money in the future, and you can also practice your construction skills by the way!"

At six o'clock in the evening, Qing Yue's bell came from the bell tower of the college cathedral, and Master Rawls announced that get out of class was over.

Qiao An hurried to catch up, and asked her instructor about the difficulties she encountered in the process of self-studying "Introduction to Structural Science".

Rawls was very satisfied with his open-minded and studious attitude, and patiently explained to him.

Edward and Thomas tidied up their consoles, and they both came over curiously. During the period, the two also raised several in-depth questions, and Rawls answered them one by one.

It wasn't until almost seven o'clock that the four masters and apprentices finished the after-class question and answer, and went to the cafeteria to have dinner together.

After the meal, Master Rawls gave each student a key to the laboratory, and they were welcome to study at any time.

Joan decided to return to the laboratory immediately after dinner, while Thomas and Edward planned to go to the library. As for Master Rawls, he also wanted to attend a meeting held by the academy. The four master and apprentice walked out of the cafeteria and went about their own business.

Joan went back to the Rawls laboratory alone, and made another scarecrow using the materials left over from class this afternoon.

This time he gained experience, and recalling his instructor’s instructions during the production process, it took only two hours to produce a scarecrow that fully met the requirements of Master Rawls. Compared with the one made in class, he made a significant improvement. I also feel very satisfied.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Master Rawls returned to the laboratory after the meeting. Seeing Joan sweeping the floor, he smiled and waved his hands, telling him that there is no need to waste time doing these trivial things.

"Just leave it to Chino to do the cleaning. How is tonight? Did it go well?"

"Not bad, I made another scarecrow."

Qiao An brought her latest work over and asked her tutor to comment.

Master Rawls circled the scarecrow twice, checked it up and down carefully, and pinched the scarecrow's cheeks and arms to confirm that the straw filling was just right, the body structure was basically in line with the principles of human mechanics and anatomy, and the corners of the lips appeared satisfactory smile.

"Well done, Joanne, very well! A person's achievements depend on luck, intelligence and hard work. Luck is unpredictable, and intelligence is mainly based on innate endowment. To put it bluntly, luck and intelligence are largely related to one It is determined when a person is reborn."

Mentor Rawls sighed with emotion.

"For example, your reincarnation skills are far inferior to Thomas and Edward - they are rich young masters, but you are a poor child. It's not fair, but what can you do?"

"We can't change our origins. If we want to make up the gap of origins, we can only rely on redoubled efforts. As long as you can continue to maintain this eager learning attitude, my child, one day your achievements will greatly surpass your classmates. , and even surpass your teacher."

Master Rawls' encouragement moved Joan so much that he almost choked up, and nodded solemnly with tears in his eyes, deeply engraving the teacher's teachings in his heart.

"Good boy, it's getting late, go back and rest."

Master Rawls touched his pocket, took out two gold coins and handed them to Joan, and touched his head with tenderness in his eyes.

"I bought the scarecrow you made. You can use the money to buy some delicious food and supplement your nutrition. Look at how thin you are, it makes people feel distressed!"

From the beginning of writing "Far Eastern King's Court" to the present, in the past three years, I have updated it on time at 9:00 am almost every day.

In fact, this update time has no special meaning.

At the beginning, I just picked a whole point at random. If you think about it carefully, most readers are still at work/classes at this time, and I am afraid that they have no time to read.

However, for obsessive-compulsive disorder like me, no matter whether this is a good choice or not, once a choice is made, I don't want to change it easily.

In the past three years, insisting on updating on time at 9 o'clock every day seems to have become a personal belief of mine.

In this regard, I wish I could be a little more pious, as constant and accurate as a clock, and keep my promises on time.

After a few small talk, I feel much more relaxed.

Don't forget to vote for monthly and recommendation tickets, see you at 9 o'clock tomorrow.
