Chapter 22 This Is My Win-Win Situation
According to Arno's superficial understanding of this world,
In this world, there are many professions, each of which undertakes various social functions, big and small.
There are engineers like in the real world, and there are also tricksters who do not exist in the real world.
However, this is a game world after all.
There are classic and kingly professions, such as knights, archers, magicians, priests, etc.
On top of that, there are also professions close to the technological era, such as musketeers, gunners, rocket launchers, etc.
However, these professions are not like the initial professions in other games, but require qualifications.
Player panels like Arno are blank at the beginning.
There are various ways to obtain qualifications, some are given by others, and some are obtained by completing tasks.
In short, this is a prerequisite.
After obtaining the qualification for job transfer, what you need to do is to obtain a license.
At that time, the skill system will also change accordingly.
And the place to obtain a license varies according to the profession.
For example, Arno is now in the Royal Magic Academy.
"No way? I have to take an exam to change my job?"
"And after taking the exam, I have to enroll?"
Arno's mouth twitched.
Playing a game requires an exam. Which genius planner came up with this idea? Why not optimize it quickly?
"Next, we will conduct a qualification test."
"As we all know, magicians have various attributes and various thresholds."
"What we need to do now is to clarify your point and then start classified teaching."
In the center of the square of the Royal Magic Academy, a magician in a white robe talked freely.
There were people crowded around, and there was a huge crowd.
However, according to Arno's observation, most of these people came to join in the fun.
The magician qualification test is held every period of time, but only two or three people pass each time.
"Next, please ask the first student to come forward."
The crystal ball was placed in front of the white-robed magician. One person swallowed his saliva and walked up, tremblingly placing his hand on it.
——No reaction, just like an ordinary crystal ball.
"Unqualified, next one."
The white-robed magician looked at the other person with contempt and said loudly.
The moment Arno saw it, the student's face turned pale, and his lips moved softly.
"How could this happen? The village clearly said that I have the talent of a magician."
"What should I do now? All the things in my house have been sold for this test, waiting for me to pass the test, and then soar to the sky."
The student probably said this, and Arno knew a little bit of lip reading.
The Royal Magic Academy, since the name has the word "Royal", naturally not everyone can enter.
There are countless people who want to be magicians in this world. If there is no threshold, there will not be only these people here now, and it is not surprising that it is surrounded by people.
As for what the so-called threshold is, it goes without saying.
- Money.
As long as you have money, you can get a chance to be tested.
Arno remembered that his family should also have a share of the money of these academies.
"Now I have become an exploiter."
Looking at the student, Arno was thoughtful.
"Should we raise the fee a little bit? After all, there are a lot of people in this world."
"The price of buying a dream that soars into the sky is too cheap now."
"Dreams are really valuable only when they are more expensive."
In order to get through the relationship within the empire, Arno needs a lot of money.
He can't use the money at home, so naturally he can only ask others to lend him some.
Anyway, money is just a piece of paper. What's the big deal if it turns into a dream?
"Right."
Arno looked at the white-robed magician, his eyes lit up, and a brilliant idea came to his mind.
"I can sell dreams."
"Sell a dream for only one day."
Thinking of this, Arno smiled and quietly left the crowd.
——
Soon,
Just as Arno thought before, most of the people who took the test failed.
Or to say, 99% of them failed.
So far, only one person has passed this test.
Finally, under the lonely figures of losers, Arno walked to the crystal ball.
"Who are you!?"
The white-robed magician's face changed when he saw the family crest embroidered on Arno's collar.
"Hush~"
Arno quietly raised a finger and placed his palm on the crystal ball.
Without any surprise, the crystal ball lit up with various colors of light.
"All-attribute magician!"
The white-robed magician was stunned for a moment and announced loudly.
At this time, Arno spoke in a low voice.
"There is something I want to discuss with you."
"Don't worry, it's just a small deal."
"After the deal is done, you and I will split it 90%."
"Next, you do as I say."
...
Just as Arno was talking,
the losers were about to leave the Royal School of Magic in despair,
at this time, a group of people stopped them.
This was a group of people who looked like idle people in society.
They hooked the losers' shoulders in a familiar way and whispered to them.
"Are you unwilling to fail?"
"Did you sell everything at home to get this opportunity?"
"Did you fail like this and can't brag to your friends when you go home?"
The idle people in society said what they said to each other and laughed.
"I can sell you a chance."
"No! I can make you a magician!"
"How about it? Do you want to give it a try? You only need ten gold coins to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
His voice was full of temptation.
However, the loser alliance just looked at each other with disdain.
"I know you don't believe it, but take a look at the crystal ball."
"Do you look familiar with the person there now?"
The losers looked at the voice and were shocked.
It turned out that Arno had left at this time, and the one who was now at the crystal ball was the first loser who was tested.
The people in the audience began to whisper.
"Don't worry, everyone. It's just that when the crystal ball was activated for the first time, there were all kinds of small faults, so there may be false detection."
"For fairness, we asked this student to come for another test."
"Then, please put your hand on the crystal ball."
The student looked timid and put his hand on the crystal ball again.
Wow!
The crowd began to commotion,
because the crystal ball actually emitted light,
although only a little, but this is the light of magician qualification!
"How about it, do you believe it now? That person is the customer who bought our service."
"Now, we have reached a cooperation with the college. Not only can we give you another test qualification, but we can also guarantee that you pass."
Looking at the loser alliance who opened their mouths in surprise, the social idler and businessman smiled and said.
"Buy! I bought it!"
"I want it too!"
"Give me one too!"
No longer doubting, the losers scrambled to buy the qualification.
However, there were also a few people who did not move.
"We don't have gold coins."
"Yes, but we really need this qualification. Can't you help us? We will definitely repay you when we become magicians!"
Hearing this, the merchant showed an embarrassment on his face.
"But... we are doing business after all. It's not easy to do business without capital."
Hearing this, the losers without money were very anxious.
"Please! Save us! We really have no way out! We will do whatever you ask us to do. Please help us."
In their anxiety, they spoke without thinking.
Hearing this, the merchant showed a mysterious smile on his face.
"You just said that you are willing to do anything, right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I will give you a big benefit."
The merchant took out a stack of paper and handed it to them.
"Sign this contract and I will give you this opportunity."
"This..."
Some people hesitated, after all, they didn't know what was written in the contract.
But when he thought of his parents at home, he gritted his teeth and snatched the paper.
"I'll sign!"
Once someone starts, the rest will be easy.
"I'll sign!"
"I'll sign too!"
For a while, the contract paper was expensive.
Not far away, Arno leaned against a big tree, looked down at the leaves in his hand, and smiled softly.
"You got a beautiful dream."
"I got money and manpower."
"We both didn't lose anything."
Win,
win-win.
