Chapter 8 The Wandering Wizard Tells Stories

Participating in hunting competitions not only competes for honors, but also has the opportunity to obtain generous material rewards.

For example, demon blood, skin, eyes, and even bones, etc., are all necessary materials for wizards to conduct magic experiments and perform certain spells, and are very popular in the wizarding world.

Zheng Qing's large amount of demon 'materials' collected during the freshman competition do not need to be handed over to the school. He only needs to register and confirm with the Hunting Committee and pay a small management fee, and then he can use a large part of them as his own. These rules also apply to official competitions - including the 'Academy Cup' - which means lots of golden beans.

This is why hunting games are so enthusiastically pursued at First University. Almost every student with a little bit of ability will try to become a hunter and join a hunting team.

After all, if they want to go further on the path of wizards, sufficient material support is a must. Not every talented person comes from a wealthy family and is not troubled by material scarcity.

Based on this perspective, the wandering wizard's guess about Zheng Qing's intention is not unreasonable.

As the largest gray market in Beta Town, Wandering Bar brings together intelligence brokers of all sizes, where they exchange various information about First University that they have obtained.

As the manager of this market, the wandering wizard can naturally obtain some background information of the 08-level public-funded students of Jiuyou Academy without any effort - such as coming from the world of Bai Ding, having no reliable background, being short of gold and silver, etc. .

The lack of gold and silver means that when Zheng Qing gets a lot of demon materials that are currently unused, he will sell them as soon as possible within the shelf life in exchange for hard currency from the wizarding world - and compared to the school's rigid purchase price, Wandering Bar The prices available are very flexible.

"If you are worried about me lowering the price, it is completely unnecessary." The wandering wizard mistook Zheng Qing's refusal as a negotiation method, and immediately said: "The resurgence of the Silent Forest has been somewhat serious recently, and many basic spellcasting in Beta Town The prices of materials have increased a lot. If you give me the materials you obtained in the freshman competition, you will definitely get a figure that satisfies you... It should be about 30% higher than the purchase price of the school. "

Zheng Qing took a deep breath when he heard this.

Xiao Xiao had already estimated before that the value of the batch of demon materials he obtained from the hunting ground should be conservatively worth about one hundred jade coins. According to the wandering wizard, an increase of 30% is almost thirty jade coins!

Thirty pieces! It’s enough to pay the tuition fees of three publicly funded students!

With one hundred and thirty jade coins, Zheng Qing estimated that he could almost rent a small shop in Beta Town and sell his own talismans - instead of being homeless like now every time he sells a talisman. Let's take away a portion of the interest.

In just a blink of an eye, the young public-sponsored student's thoughts started from that batch of monster materials, he thought about opening a store, the name of the store, whether to go public after the store became bigger and stronger, and whether to choose Frankfurt, New York, or Or London - in short, I won't choose Shanghai. Zheng Qing is very sure of this.

"No company with ideals would choose to be listed in Shanghai." The young wizard muttered and swung the wine glass in his hand.

The light yellow liquid hangs out in uniform thin films on the transparent cup wall. Under the action of gravity, it gathers into wine droplets and slowly falls down the cup wall. In the wine, tiny bits of brilliant light slowly overflowed into the air as the wine glass shook, leaving only the mellow wine and the fragrant aroma.

"What did you say?" The wandering wizard obviously didn't understand the meaning of what Zheng Qing just muttered, and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing!" The young public-funded student blushed immediately, but he didn't know whether it was because of alcohol or the embarrassment of having his privacy exposed.

After a pause, Zheng Qing suddenly remembered his purpose: "I mean, I'm really not here to sell anything. I'm here to consult. If you want to curb those messy rumors in the school, is there anything you can do? Yes. So, how to charge..."

"Rumors?" The wandering wizard was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Are you talking about the rumors about your cheating?"

Zheng Qing pulled a face and nodded.

"Why stop it!" The wandering wizard looked a little confused: "Are those rumors true?"

"Of course it's fake!" Zheng Qing's eyes widened immediately, and his voice rose a bit: "It's just because it's fake, that's why we have to 'crack down on fakes'! If we don't say something, doesn't it mean that we have a guilty conscience!" Sometimes, what is false will be said to be true!”

Looking at the excited wizard, the wandering wizard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Young people are always so full of life." The old wizard sighed with emotion, and then changed the topic and talked about a completely unrelated matter: "I heard a little story before and found it very interesting. I couldn't help but think about it. Let me tell you.”

Zheng Qing glanced at the watch hanging on the wall. It was still very early, and there were still two hours before the time he and Jiang Yu agreed on. He simply nodded and looked like he was listening carefully.

"This matter is also related to First University and the Beta Town Post."

"You know, there has been some discord between Jiuyou Academy and Alpha Academy for a long time. These conflicts may be big or small, but they always make people on both sides unhappy."

"One year, the Beta Town Post wanted to do an exclusive interview on the construction of academic style, so it sent a reporter from Alpha College to Jiuyou College for an interview."

"After the officers of the External Relations Department of the Student Union of Jiuyou College heard about her intention, they were a little nervous and were not sure what the "Beta Town Post" meant. After internal discussions for a long time, they finally placed their hope in this The reporter said a few nice words in the interview transcript.”

"So the External Relations Department spent a lot of money to invite famous goblin singers to the school to hold a music festival, and arranged sumptuous banquets three times a day, preparing all kinds of exotic fruits and melons that were out of season, delicacies from mountains and seas, and tonics. Tang, before leaving, he prepared a generous souvenir for this reporter, lest he would not be well received."

"This reporter is also very interesting. He does not refuse the hospitality of Jiuyou Academy. I accept the souvenirs you give me."

"But after she returned, she wrote an article titled "What is Extravagant Style - A Record of the Evil Ways and Corruption in the Collapse of the Student Union of Jiuyou College." Cannonballs corrode conscientious public intellectuals and thereby manipulate public opinion, ultimately concluding that Jiuyou has lost moral integrity and has a corrupt academic style.”

"After the article was published, Dean Yao of Jiuyou College was furious. All the heads of the Student Union's External Relations Department were wiped out from top to bottom. Even the Vice Chairman of the Student Union in charge of external relations had to carry a Major demerits will be recorded.”

"This is the student union's problem. If they entertained the reporter peacefully, this kind of thing would definitely not happen." Zheng Qing couldn't help but comment.

"Is everything safe and sound?" The wandering wizard squinted and took a sip of wine: "Innocent! This matter is not over yet..."
