Chapter 309 Imitation

Qiao An is actually not interested in "sharpening his head" to climb up, and he doesn't care about his own social status.

He just didn't like feeling in debt and at the mercy of others.

If he could redeem his freedom, he wouldn't mind spending a little more money, but the liquidated damages of 20,000 gold Duga—or "ransom" is more appropriate—is too much, and he can't afford it.

Despite being misunderstood by Martin, Joann did not defend himself.

Seeing that he was silent, Martin went on to say, "Joan, based on your academic performance, you can graduate from Leiden College next fall at most. If you go to work in the colonial company according to the contract, in order not to waste your talent, Why not apply for further study at Midgard University immediately after graduation, I believe Master Rawls and Mr. President will be happy to issue a letter of recommendation for you."

Joan touched his ears, feeling weird.

It seems that every relative and friend around him is trying his best to encourage him to study at Midgard University, but he has not yet made up his mind.

The main reason is that I am reluctant to leave the familiar environment and comfortable life circle, and feel timid towards those distant and strange people and things...

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am not living up to expectations, and I am really ashamed of the expectations I have for my relatives and friends.

"Joan, Midgard and Alfheim belong to the colonies of the Ashan Empire in the New World. The financial and economic lifelines of the two places are controlled by the Will Noah Colonial Company. Dayton College is cheaper, and local prices are higher, so you might still have to apply for a student loan when you get there, so you might as well bring the current loan contract with you, anyway, the grants of the two universities are common.”

"Universal?"

"That's right, there are relevant additional clauses in the contract, which are specially designed for high-achieving students like you who graduated early and transferred to Midgard University for further study. I'm afraid you didn't read the contract carefully when you signed the contract." Martin said with a smile.

"It's true that I signed it without looking carefully."

Joan admitted his negligence. But given his original situation, even if he had to scrutinize the terms of the contract word by word, he still had to sign the contract, and there was nothing to regret.

Since the student loan cannot be terminated early, Joan simply doesn't care about it anymore. Instead of regretting it, it is better to save more money now.

In case the job position arranged by the company does not go well in the future, he would rather spend 20,000 gold Dujia to redeem himself than waste five years of youth in a boring job.

The second purpose of Qiao An coming to Yangbo Firm today is to sell a newly created magic device, which can be regarded as a liquidated damages reserve in advance for future redemption.

"Joan, what new thing have you invented, come out and let me open my eyes!"

Mr. Havel looked expectant.

The "Stomped Boots" and "Siren" that Joan created last time were sold at high prices at the auction held by the firm, making him a fortune.

Later, people came to buy these two kinds of magic tools one after another. Unfortunately, Qiao An didn't have a business license issued by the Enchanting Guild, so he could only mortgage the magic tools to Yangbo Trading Company in the name of "pawning" the ancestral collection.

Since it is an "ancestral" collection, of course this one alone cannot be mass-produced. If the same magic weapon is pawned frequently, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the guild, and this kind of gray transaction will no longer be possible in the future.

"This time it's not an original magic weapon, but an imitation."

Joan opened the storage bag, took out a quill pen and placed it on the counter.

Mr. Havel picked up the quill pen, looked at it curiously, and soon sensed the magic fluctuations emanating from the pen.

Although its function cannot be confirmed without identification, Qiao An has already stated that it is a "imitation", so it is not difficult for him to guess eight or nine points.

"You imitated the 'automatic transcription quill'?" Javier asked.

Joan nodded and admitted frankly.

"I saw a magic pen that can automatically transcribe scrolls and books in a business store before. I was very impressed. After I went back and did some research, after repeated attempts, I finally imitated a quill pen with the same function."

Javier activated the quill pen according to the incantation provided by Joan, first dipped it in his hand and dipped it in ink, and wrote a few lines of text at random, then let go of his hand, and gave the quill pen an instruction of "transcribing once" with his mind.

The quill pen glowed with a faint golden magical brilliance, bounced off the counter, and the pen tip hung down on the paper, writing skillfully and smoothly.

The copying speed is faster than Havel's own handwriting, but the handwriting is exactly the same.

The tip of the pen rubbed against the paper to make a rustling sound. Under the watchful eyes of Javier and Joan, the quill pen wrote a line of words. It seemed that they felt that the ink was fading, so they stopped copying, and then floated in the air to the ink bottle, and jumped into the open bottle Ink bottle with lid.

After being filled with ink, the quill pen slowly rose, and the nib swung around the mouth of the bottle to wipe off too much ink so as not to stain the paper. Then it floated back, and continued writing where it had just stopped until it finished copying what Javier requested. all content.

The whole process looks smooth and natural, as if there is an invisible hand holding a quill pen dipped in ink and writing.

"Not bad, the imitation is impeccable!" Javier repeatedly praised.

"Mr. Havel, to make this pen, you need to be enchanted with a ring 2 'Secondary Item Revitalization', which consumes 2 ounces of magic crystals. The other costs are not worth mentioning. How much do you think is an appropriate price for it?" Joan asked Havel.

"The price of the 'automatic quill pen' last time was 2,000 Gold Duga. Now it seems that the price is too low. 2,000 Gold Duga is about the same as the starting price. It's hard to say what the final transaction price will be."

"You decide, I only care about how much I can earn."

"Haha! It's still the old rule, how about 3 ounces of magic crystals for your pen?"

"Deal!" Joan readily took the hand that Mr. Havel handed over.

This price was completely within his expectations, and he had already figured it out. After getting the 3 ounces of magic crystals paid by Mr. Havel, he would use 2 ounces of magic crystals as an enchanting material to make an "automatic quill pen" for future use. If you use it yourself, you don't have to do the repetitive transcription work yourself in the future, and you can save a lot of time for studying spells.

It's just that in this way, I don't seem to have saved any money, so what about the liquidated damages...

Forget it, early consumption and early enjoyment, troublesome things like debt, let’s think about it later!

...

With a complicated mood of worrying about gains and losses, Joan bid farewell to Mr. Havel and returned to Leiden College by public carriage.

It is ten o'clock in the morning, and there is still an hour before lunch. Joan decided to go to the library and take advantage of the spare money in his pocket to copy a few 2-ring spell scrolls.

Joan walked through the reading room with ease, handed the student ID to the librarian, and asked to check the 2-ring spell scroll.

The administrator still remembered that Qiao An had copied a level 1 spell last time, and looked him carefully with his reading glasses. He couldn't help but be surprised that this handsome young man was promoted to a level 3 mage so quickly.

I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival
