Chapter 54: Mastering Magic, the First Pot of Gold [Please Read]

Magic crystals are different from spell books and are disposable consumables.

When learning, spellcasters only need to use their mental power to probe into them to master the spell model engraved inside.

After use, the magic crystal will break directly.

Of course, the specific spellcasting effect depends on the comprehension ability and elemental perception talent.

The so-called construction of spell models is to use mental power to depict specific spell symbols and frameworks.

The first-level magic is relatively simple as a whole, just a three-dimensional pattern composed of a few unfamiliar runes.

It is said that the model required to construct those disaster-level magic is comparable to a giant 3D scroll. Even the slightest mistake will lead to spell casting failure, or even magic backlash.

When the comprehension of magic reaches a certain level, you can also try to create your own spells.

Chen Xuan only took less than two water clocks to master the initial burst fireball and water healing magic.

For this reason, he personally experimented in the corner of Stinky Rat Alley.

The former is a hot fireball the size of a washbasin, with a maximum range of about 120 meters.

After hitting the target, the flame will explode, causing splash and burning damage.

The latter is a healing magic under the water element category, which can quickly heal less serious wounds, but deep wounds will leave scars.

According to the consumption of mental power, he can use each magic for more than 30 or 40 times in a row.

Affected by proficiency, even if his elemental sensing talent has been maxed out, he can't do it instantly for the time being.

It takes about 2 to 4 seconds to build a burst fireball, and 5 to 7 seconds to heal water.

This proves that in the world of magic, diligence and talent are indispensable, and only the combination of the two can reach the peak.

The most terrifying opponent is the guy who is not only extremely talented, but also hardworking.

He spent all the rest of his time on comprehending that defensive magic skill.

Speaking of it, launching magic skills is somewhat similar to casting spells.

It's just that magic skills stimulate magic elements through specific construction methods to form different effects.

This defensive magic skill is called "Guardian Shield", which can call on magic to condense an invisible defense zone on any part of the body, with a range of about 30 cm in diameter.

Guardian Shield can easily resist the same level of damage and most impact forces, but after maintaining activation and resisting attacks, a certain amount of magic will be consumed.

Attacks with too much power may even directly empty the magic in the body, causing weakness.

Because the principles are similar, Chen Xuan quickly memorized and mastered it.

After many practices, he shortened the activation time of the magic skill to within 2 seconds.

According to Blue Star time, he has not rested for almost a hundred hours.

Even iron bones and meditation cannot completely offset fatigue.

The sky outside is bright.

The sun moves towards the top of the head little by little.

Even the dark sun reveals half of its body in the distant sky.

"It's time to go, Rebecca."

He jumped on the spot and moved his limbs.

He greeted the cat girl who was already dressed neatly.

Chen Xuan personally rode a 28-bar bicycle and took the petite cat girl to the agreed location.

…

In a secluded secret warehouse.

Ophelia had been waiting for a long time.

She carried a sackcloth bag across her shoulder, and her expression was complicated and nervous.

Chen Xuan, riding a bicycle, arrived late.

Many onlookers on the road cast curious eyes on him. But that was all.

Because compared with those fancy works of the Mechanical Engineers Association, bicycles seemed much more normal.

Brake steadily to stop, kick out the footrest with the heel of the shoe.

Chen Xuan pulled the cat girl to the half-elf lady.

This warehouse was carefully selected by Ophelia, and the surrounding area was empty and quiet.

When she saw Chen Xuan coming, she bowed and saluted immediately.

"Master!"

Chen Xuan just waved his hand and focused on rubbing the soles of his boots stained with cow dung on the gravel.

"How are the sales?"

He was more concerned about the sales results of these two Naro days.

Ophelia was prepared for this. She took off her bulging bag and handed it to Chen Xuan respectfully.

"Master, here are 34,272 crowns and 2 cents..."

"It has been exchanged for different amounts of dark gold, mithril and black iron coins for you."

"In addition to the 15% off every 100 agreed by the merchant group, there is also a 3% off every 100 trade tax."

These were all agreed in advance, so Chen Xuan had no objection.

He took the linen bag and found that there was something else inside.

All the coins were packed in a small wooden box, and the broken bag was just a cover.

He opened the wooden box and took a quick look.

More than 30,000 crowns were exchanged for more than 20 dark gold coins, 60 or 70 mithril coins, and the rest were black iron coins.

These were the first pot of gold Chen Xuan earned in the Naroa continent!

The texture of dark gold is somewhat similar to gold, but the color is darker.

And when you hold it in your palm, you can vaguely feel that it has a weak reaction with the free magic.

As expected of magic metal, it really has some merits.

He put all the coins into the storage compartment.

Ophelia began to report the sales situation.

"The magic tears you gave me were packaged into 37 alchemical test tubes. According to the latest price of 623 kronor per tube, they were easily digested by using only the downstream distribution channels of the West District Caravan."

"Aluminum castings were made into 13 sets of tableware according to the standard of a banquet for 12 nobles. Each set was priced at 1,250 kronor. This price is actually lower than the market price. It is mainly distributed to cross-city merchants."

"A total of 387 cups of Coke have been sold, and sales are continuing to increase with word-of-mouth. However, the unit price is low, and the total sales are not much."

"Finally, it's bicycles. Only four have been sold during this period..."

"One of them was bought by the West District Blacksmith Association, and another was bought by me...my father. The remaining two were actually sold to adventurers."

This result was within Chen Xuan's expectations. In fact, he had discussed most of the situations with Ophelia.

New things like bicycles are certainly convenient, but initial promotion is a problem.

No matter how good something is, it needs to gradually accumulate word of mouth.

Needless to say, the demand for Demon Tears is very strong. As long as the monsters still exist, it will not worry about sales.

Aluminum tableware as a luxury product also has limitations or sales thresholds.

However, the distribution to various places in Naroya through cross-city peddlers should be enough to digest the remaining castings.

He never gave much hope to Coke, mainly as a universal light product.

Chen Xuan thought about it, took out two cans of mercury with a weight of 350 grams and four aluminum castings and handed them to Ophelia.

Coke and bicycles do not need to be replenished for the time being, at least they can still be sold for a while.

Then Ophelia handed over the disguise powder to him.

All expenses were deducted from the profit.

Chen Xuan did not make a mistake in her.

She is indeed very talented in business.

Both the accounts and details are handled clearly!

Reference system: The thickened aluminum lunch box of 223×132×66 (mm) is about more than 200 grams.
