Lord of Arcane

Chapter 115

"Needless to say I'm sorry, we are indeed friends. Now, as friends I have a question for you!"

Hearing that Xia Duo said that the two were friends, Donald immediately beamed with joy. It really makes people wonder why his chubby face has changed so quickly, only to hear him ask, "What's the problem?"

"Do you want to pass the regularization assessment before the end of the month and become a formal apprentice?"

"I think so much!" Donald's eyes almost lit up, but then his face collapsed, "But it's useless to think about it, I just learned [Light Art], and I don't know how long it will take until I pass the assessment !"

"The opportunity is right in front of us now. I guarantee that you will pass the assessment before the end of the month. How much are you willing to pay for this?"

Xia Duo's voice was full of temptation, as if Donald could pass the test as long as he stretched out his hand at will, but does such a good thing really exist?
"That—Xia Duo, I'm a man!"

"..."

Xia Duo was full of black lines, wishing to strangle Donald to death. I really don't know what was going on in his head, "I want money! Do you know money! Gold coins!"

"Oh! You said this! No problem!" Donald immediately took over, "How many gold coins do you need to let me pass the assessment at the end of the month?"

"150 gold coins."

"Really?" Donald thought that Xia Duo would quote a sky-high price, but he didn't expect that it was only 150 gold coins. For ordinary people, it might take many years to save so many gold coins.

But for his father, it was just a few months' wages, not to mention the private money. Donald had already spent more than 300 gold coins in the past few months in the Mage Tower.

Don't say that you can become an official apprentice for only 150 gold coins, even if it is twice as much, he is willing!
"Xia Duo, can you really let me pass the assessment at the end of the month?"

"Of course it is true." Xia Duo said affirmatively, "But you have to work hard yourself. If you fail to pass due to your own reasons, the money will not be refunded!"

This is actually equivalent to spending 150 gold coins to learn a 0-ring spell. Only you know if it is worth it. For Xia Duo, it is obviously not worth it, but for Donald who has just entered the door of magic and wants to quickly become a regular Say, it's worth it!

After getting Xia Duo's affirmation, Donald immediately took out two exchange vouchers from his close-fitting small wallet. When the hot and humid parchment was handed to Xia Duo, Xia Duo couldn't help but hesitated and didn't accept it.

"This is 200 gold coins, you can't take it by mistake, right?"

"No," Donald directly stuffed two pieces of parchment into Xia Duo's hands, and said with a smile, "There are still 50 gold coins. I hope Xia Duo can give me some pointers."

"can."

Xia Duo thought about it and put it away. Originally, he just wanted to have a force-feeding assault training. Now that Donald is so good, if he doesn't accept it, it will be a slap in the face of Donald.

"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant for dinner." After walking a few steps, Xia Duo ordered again, "By the way, don't tell anyone about this, you understand?"

"I know, I know." Donald hurriedly assured that he would do what Xia Duo said now, for fear that his dream of becoming a regular at the end of the month would come to naught.

"Also, if someone asks me what I want to do with you today, just say, every morning some of our formal apprentices will take half an hour to ask you to ask questions for a fee, 5 gold coins per question, you know?"

In fact, this is not only to make money, but also to inspect the reserve members of the study group. If Xia Duo said directly, it is better to release the news through Donald's mouth first, and see the reaction of the apprentices.

Donald did not refuse this question, and immediately agreed.

"In addition, you should be more active when asking questions every day. If no one asks, you should take the lead. I don't care what method you use. If by the end of the month, you ask more questions than others, I will give you another one." surprise!"

"What surprise?"

"It's boring to say now, you will know at the end of the month."

After finishing speaking, ignoring Donald who was still thinking, Xia Duo quickened his pace and walked towards the elevator, and Donald, who realized that Xia Duo was gone, immediately trotted up to follow.

……

Questions and answers for a fee are not surprising. Since the establishment of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo and the others are definitely not the first to do this kind of thing. Even mages who usually teach will answer questions for a fee, but this qualification has not been popularized to ordinary people. on the apprentice.

Xia Duo and the others just charge a little lower (apprentice crowdfunding is actually cheaper), and the number of people answering at the same time is a little more, this kind of conscience business may really be the only one.

On the second day, after Xia Duo taught the study group members, and then practiced collectively for a while, almost half an hour before "off work", those ordinary apprentices came to the orchard spontaneously.

Without Donald's guidance, they naturally raised money to ask Xia Duo questions. Before that, these apprentices had to help Xia Duo and the other three to do a month's work in exchange for Xia Duo and others' answers.

No one is willing to waste time on strangers unless they offer gold coins that the other party cannot refuse, but this is something that most people cannot do. Xia Duo and the others only need 5 gold coins to ask a question.

Spreading it out to more than [-] people is like giving it away for nothing.

With safe channels and cheap fees, Xiaduo’s Q&A group was a great success for the first time. Not only these ordinary apprentices benefited a lot, even Edric and the others also gained a lot.

Although Xia Duo insisted on asking them to answer questions at first, when the first question and answer session went on, they obviously felt that they had become different.

Afterwards, Eldridge and others found Xia Duo, and they couldn't help but praise at this time, but there were also many questions, "Xia Duo, why don't you think other people are like us?"

Xia Duo sneered in his heart, but he still gave the answer, "Do you really think other people will be as generous as us? Even if they are, after a few months, when you gain little or nothing from them, you still have Can you patiently answer these people's questions?"

"This--"

Edric substituted himself into it, and finally came to the conclusion that he didn't want to!

"Then Xia Duo, how could you—"

Edric didn't say the following words, but Xia Duo understood what he meant, "How could I be willing to share knowledge with you, right?
"It's nothing for me to share alone, but if everyone shares together, it will inevitably give birth to a lot of spiritual thoughts. This is called a win-win situation. It's just that there is no such a win-win environment now, and what we can do is only in a small circle. share and grow and grow.”

Edric was silent for a moment, "Xia Duo, I don't understand the win-win environment you mentioned, but I absolutely support the study group!"

"So are we!"

Sammy, Devine, and Dern also expressed their views.

This made Xia Duo very gratified. Although the original purpose was for himself, in fact it did benefit others.

However, if there is no one person in this small circle of sharing and communication to give up some of the benefits first, it is impossible to impress others, let alone the subsequent win-win situation.

Now that he is on his boat, it is impossible to escape easily.

Xia Duo laughed, and led the study group out of the Arcane Garden.
