Lord of Arcane

Although Jeff doesn't have much room for advancement at the moment, he is cautious and conscientious in the territory development department and has not made any big mistakes. Even if Xia Duo wants to let him leave, he can't find any good reason for a while.

Under such circumstances, it is still a bit difficult for Clark to get ahead in the territory development department. Changing tracks is not an unimaginable choice.

In fact, judging from the current development trend of the territory, the construction industry has great potential. The most important thing is that construction is currently a rare magic fusion industry in the territory, at least that is the plan.

Clark is now considered a high-level member of the territory, and is no doubt no stranger to these. So, should he choose the construction industry, which will be fully integrated with magic in the future, and become a pioneer in this industry, or should he choose to stay in the territory development department, which has nearly exhausted its potential? .

For Jeff, such a question may be difficult to decide, but for Clark, who has worked as a slave until now, this is a completely new opportunity that can change his destiny.

Xia Duo thought for a moment and agreed to Clark's request. When he saw the secret joy flashing in Jeff's eyes, he agreed with Clark a little more.

Perhaps the Territory Construction Department can be established in the future, and then the Development Department can be merged into it, but I don’t know what Jeff will do by then.

……

When Leiden and others were selecting people, Shado also screened the candidates from the Tower of Time who applied for Everesca's translation. Personally, he was more inclined to choose the new mage.

But unfortunately, most new mages grow up too quickly and are burdened by various studies, so they don't have much time to learn Elvish, let alone become proficient in it.

If you can barely understand it, you are considered the best among the new mages.

This time, they were going to do on-site translation, and it was definitely impossible for Sha Duo to be a novice. In his impression, the person who had the best command of Elvish in the Tower of Time in the past was the mid-level mage Jose.

Of course, in today's Tower of Time's new class system, Jose can only be rated at level 4, which is not a true mid-level. But outside of the Tower of Time, Jose is still an out-and-out mid-level mage. .

If we use the rating standards of the Mage Union affiliated to the Arcane Law Federation to evaluate it, it would be almost level 8 or 9!It's not a problem to work hard to become a high-level mage.

However, Jose is one of the more progressive mages of the Tower of Time that Sha Duo knows. In addition to joining an independent research laboratory for research, he also teaches Elvish language part-time.

What concerned Xia Duo the most was that Jose had taught himself all the new mage courses in the Tower of Time and passed the junior class assessment.

As for other "old" mages, they may be able to pass the junior class assessment under the new system after a while, but the number of people who actually apply for the exam is very small. At most, they just apply once as a pretense, and then no longer consider it.

The reason is also very simple. When the song of past tense was restructured, the treatment of mid-level mage was retained. Once you apply for a class under the new system, it means actively joining the new system. If you cannot be promoted to mid-level in the new system, you will not be able to do so in the future. You may not be able to retain your current treatment.

Old mages may not be unwilling to join the new system, but if it comes at the cost of losing their current benefits, then they will hesitate.

In the past, the internal environment of the Tower of Time was too comfortable, and many people were crippled. They were unwilling to compete, fearful of competition, and would rather eat a meal until they died.

Xia Duo felt helpless and a little sad about this. Fortunately, new mages have emerged in a steady stream, and some of the old mages can be maintained. It is not that they cannot afford to support them, even if it is the price of peaceful restructuring!

……

Soon, Xia Duo met Jose in Codex Square. He was very curious as to why he wanted to take on this mission, because the duration of this mission was uncertain and was expected to be one to two months.

During this period, Jose will stay in Everesca, and his research work and teaching tasks at the Tower of Time will also be temporarily put on hold.

In this regard, Jose's answer was - "The learning machine can provide simple Elvish teaching, even for beginners, it may be better than my teaching. With or without me, it won't have much impact.

"As for the independent research laboratory, they are eager for me to come over! After all, the rewards for Lingsi network permissions are not available all the time, and there are very few tasks that are suitable for me. Now that I have the opportunity, I will definitely try my best. Catch it." "Okay, I was worrying too much."

However, Xia Duo also thought of another thing, which was the issue of Lingsi network resource allocation. Although in the past due to various reasons - such as the small number of new mages, low quality, Lingsi network security, etc. - it was not timely. Tower members fully open the Lingsi network.

Now as the number of new mages continues to increase, network security construction is also constantly improving. Although the quality is still far from his expectations, compared with the past, the conditions in all aspects have improved a lot.

Perhaps Tower of Time members should be given more opportunities to gain access to the Lingsi Network.

With this in mind, Xia Duo has already sent Jose and the other six to Severton, where the mage from the Tower of Time is stationed at Azure Manor. Jose and the others don't have to worry about being left alone.

On the Evereska side, Shado also asked Oripus to send someone to pick up Jose and the others in the teleportation hall, hoping that they could spend a good time in Everesca!

……

Tower of Time.

Xia Duo rarely came out of the laboratory, so naturally he had to handle all the matters in place. This time he came to the Materials Management Office on the public level.

After receiving the notice, Cecily was already waiting for him in the office. Once he arrived at the office, Shado didn't beat around the bush and asked straight to the point:

"How is the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce doing with the promotion of new communication instruments?"

“Some time ago, I personally went to Severington and inspected the actual sales situation of Mingshui Chamber of Commerce’s many shops in different areas in the mainland with the managers of Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. The sales volume was the same as the previous estimate of Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. not optimistic."

"What do you think is the reason for the poor sales of new communication instruments?" Xia Duo asked again.

Regarding this question, Cecily took a deep breath and glanced at Xia Duo with some resentment, "The experience of the new communication magic weapon is not significantly different from the previous second generation communication magic weapon, but the price is higher, even if it is more It’s a confusing gimmick, who would be willing to pay for a gimmick that they can’t use or feel!”

"Mystery locks are not a gimmick. If even you think so, then I can already imagine what other people are thinking!"

By this time, Xia Duo also realized what the problem was. In the final analysis, the advantages of the new communication device were more from the operator's perspective.

For ordinary users and actual payers, the new communication magic weapon based on the communication mystery lock does not bring them more experience, but they have to bear a higher price.

Except for a few who are not short of money, I am afraid that most sensible people know how to choose.

Sure enough, it’s still a bit rushed!
Xia Duo was thoughtful, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that the decision to update the communication mystery lock for the first time was made under such circumstances!"

"What did you think of? Adding new functions to the new communication device?" Cecily asked curiously.

"It must be added, otherwise how could others be willing to pay for it! But don't worry, the new communication instrument is essentially a mystery linker, and the addition of new functions can be synchronized to the sold instruments."

Xia Duo has actually now thought of one of the selling points of the new communication magic weapon, which is continuous upgrading. However, he did not consider such details when building the communication mystery lock before, otherwise he would at least prepare a new upgradeable function in advance.

In this way, the communication device that people spend money to buy will have a new function every two days, so that the buyer will not feel that he is at a loss, and similarly, other people will have the idea of ​​​​trying it after seeing it.
