Chapter Fourteen Sue Helen's Joy
Richard walked directly to the laboratory and inserted the metal badge into the alchemy platform. Then a clear magic image appeared, which recorded Richard's income and expenditure this month. The alchemy platform has magic crystals to provide power, while 5 points of magic is required to stimulate the badge. Richard now has to use all the magic power to practice magic, but he is unwilling to waste it on the inspiration badge.
When Richard saw the first line of the bill, he was stunned. The line said that one magic puppet doll was updated, with a total of 1,600 gold coins.
The magic puppet doll is the steel portrait used by Richard to practice fireball and other magic. When he passed by the magic test site, Richard had already seen a new doll replaced. But such a thing requires 1,600 gold coins? Richard didn't have much idea about money, but he also knew that his mother had lived in Rutherland Village for ten years, and her entire savings were only a dozen gold coins. The fur of a large monster was only a price of one or two gold coins in the city. To hunt them, adult hunters would need to take risks with their lives. Perhaps the richest village chief would have the wealth of hundreds of gold coins, many of which were military pay and bounties accumulated by the village chief when he paid the bills in the army.
I only shot two fireballs and exploded 1,600 gold coins?
He began to recall all the details about the steel puppet, and then found that the doll seemed to have nothing outstanding except that its defense is almost exactly the same as the standard half-body armor. Little Richard has no concept yet, and accuracy is the fundamental reason for the expensive steel puppets. The defense error of ordinary magic puppets and military standard half-body armor is one to two energy levels, while the error of the deep blue steel puppets is within one tenth of the energy level. The difference of the error by an order of magnitude is nearly thirty times the cost. The energy level is a concept in magic, roughly referring to the energy carried by a standard first-level magic missile.
Cold sweat kept flowing down Richard's forehead, and huge numbers pressed him so hard that he could hardly breathe. Rutherland Village is also the territory of the Holy Alliance, and the currency and deep blue are the same. 1600 gold coins are a debt that Little Richard can never pay back in his life. He doesn't like to owe debts, which is inherited from Yilanni's character. The priest of the goddess of the moon is unwilling to owe anything to others. The huge psychological pressure made Richard's eyes turn black. It took him a long time to calm down and slowly
Looking down, as he thought, the prices of the following consumables were astonishingly high. For example, the unit price of the bottle of magic recovery potion was close to 500 gold coins. Seeing this, Richard thought of the bottle of magic potion in the potion room in the warehouse area, and his feelings were completely different. Those potions were labeled, marked with performance and usage, mostly for auxiliary potions such as magic perception, affinity and recovery. They were mainly used by magicians to speed up the process of cultivation.
More than a month before coming to Deep Blue, Richard had a preliminary understanding of the world outside the mountain. At that time, he was shocked by the expensive prices of items, but compared with Deep Blue, things in Deep Blue are as simple and cheap as if they don't have money. Just like a bottle of magic recovery, there are only 10 gold coins in Ashan, but on Deep Blue's bill, it is 500 gold coins, a 50-fold difference.
However, what Little Richard didn't know was that the magic recovery potion sold on Yashan market lasted only three hours, and the recovery acceleration effect was only 0.5 times. The bottle he drank lasted for 24 hours, and the acceleration effect was 1 times. Similarly, the result of 16 times of comprehensive performance enhancement is that the price increased by 50 times.
From level promotion to refining pharmaceutical agents, and even all walks of life, the more difficult it is to make progress later, and the higher the cost of each advancement is. Therefore, the pyramid-shaped structure is a common structure in almost all fields, while the concept that Little Richard just learned interprets this principle from another perspective, with a decrease in margin.
At the end of the first page, Richard saw his total expenditure this month: a total of 18,000 gold coins.
Every two pages are income, and Richard only sees one line on it. The title is tuition subsidy, with an amount of 30,000 gold coins.
When looking at the expenditure, Richard was gradually accustomed to the big numbers...but he was still shocked by the big numbers subsidized.
Not to mention 30,000 gold coins, just one day ago, 30 gold coins were a huge sum that Little Richard had never seen before, and he didn't know how to spend it. Life in the mountains is self-sufficient. Apart from the need to buy fabrics from outside, Richard couldn't even think of any other places to spend money.
But 30,000 gold coins... "Can you fill this laboratory!" Richard, who had not recovered from his dizziness, looked at the huge alchemy laboratory and thought involuntarily.
But when Richard's eyes swept across every corner of the experiment, he got the accurate answer. If the floor is completely covered with imperial gold coins, then 333,300 gold coins can be stored in this laboratory.
Little Richard shook his head vigorously and drove all the troublesome numbers out of his mind. There was no difference between 30,000 or 300,000 yuan, anyway, they were all unimaginable huge sums.
Moreover, the 30,000 gold coins subsidy is just the beginning. There are several blank columns on the second page, only the names of major categories, but no income. It seems that they will be the source of income in the future. It is just that the last column makes Richard a little difficult to understand, "Su Helen's Joy", what type of income is this?
After calming down, Little Richard immediately discovered that the subsidy of 30,000 gold coins was not much. There were countless places to spend in the dark blue. This was only the first month. He spent most of his time in class. He actually started magic practice less than a week, and the materials consumed were pitifully small, but the expenditure had reached 18,000 gold. What is certain is that it would be good for him to maintain a balance of income and expenditure in the next month. In another month, 30,000 gold coins would definitely not be enough.
Richard didn't think much about money now. Although he still didn't have much concept of money, he at least knew that every day of studying in Deep Blue means the consumption of a large amount of resources. Although he had a subsidy of 30,000 gold coins, Richard did not think that it was without a price. Being able to enter Deep Blue and being able to study under the seat of the legendary wizard must have been the Marquis of Gorton who used his life to exchange for this opportunity for Richard. Mainland history and political structure are also important courses for mage learning, so Richard has a preliminary understanding of the world of Noland. At least he knew that the position of the legendary wizard's personal student was something that countless great figures in the Empire dreamed of getting. Marquis of Gorton's strength and status were not outstanding. Being able to get such an opportunity must have paid more than other great nobles.
There is no end to exploration in the magic world. Richard silently stopped the magic image because the consumption of magic crystal also requires money. He placed the badge in a prominent position. All income and expenditure items have been engraved in memory, even stronger than memory magic, and then plunged into the learning of the magic world again.
Two months passed in a blink of an eye. Richard was immersed in the world of magic and numbers every day, and could hardly feel the passing of time. Now he was able to master the two innate abilities of wisdom and reality. The digital world is not only strange and boring, but also has many irreplaceable benefits. For example, as long as he is within his perception range, Richard can understand the strength of other people the most intuitively. For example, Minnie and Randolph, and two other students of Su Helen, are now magicians of level 5 and level 6, and they are still only
Fourteen years old. Minnie's magic power is 70, while Randolph has reached an astonishing 110. In terms of magic power alone, it is no different from a level seven magician. The two of them do not mention the level of mage, but even the magic power is far superior to the magicians of the same level. This means that they have more magic positions than mages of the same level, which is the most direct strength gap. What's more, being able to become Su Hailun's personal disciples must have special features. Their strong bloodline abilities are key factors that can determine the situation in the battles of many high-level professions.
But every morning when he woke up, Richard still involuntarily had a blazing fire in front of him and his mother's figure in the fire. Occasionally there was blood on the quilt, which was because he bit his mouth in his sleep.
