I'm not a magician

Ji Chi didn't know how many people in the auditorium dropped their jaws after he walked out. If he knew, he might be disgusted by the fuss.

But this can't be blamed for people's ignorance.

Umbrellas are used as weapons, which are not uncommon in various martial arts biographies of florists, but in the distant Middle Ages in another world, they knew more about umbrellas as the small lace flower umbrellas that court ladies half leaned on their shoulders. Typical useless.

However, everything has changed because of a small opportunity.

In the not-too-distant future, this heterogeneous design inexplicably opened up the thinking of equipment engineers. They were no longer obsessed with the ever-changing equipment such as swords, shields and armor. Many small items that were often overlooked by people also came into people's vision.

But that's all for later, Ji Chi was walking on the streets of East Town with a look of tiredness on his face.

Taking the test for six or seven hours in a row is really not something that ordinary people can persevere. His physique is already as thick as a bloody bull, but his spirit has been tortured to the point of dying...

Exams are really the natural enemy of all students——

With a rare dull expression on his face, Ji Chi dragged himself towards the hotel.

"Ji Chi?! Why did you come out so soon!" A familiar boy's voice came from behind, with a bit of hatred.

Ji Chi turned around, looked at Linton tiredly, and didn't have the energy to talk to him.

Linton mistook him for not performing well, and said angrily: "So you still didn't believe me yesterday, right! If you had prepared in advance, how could it be like this!"

Ji Chi waved his hand: "I prepared well and finished well."

Linton: "Fart! Come out so early, how can you finish it well?"

Ji Chi stared at him expressionlessly, without speaking.

Linton reacted: "Can I do the same? I'm a senior equipment engineer! I've already thought about the direction in advance, and the speed is of course faster!"

Ji Chi turned around and continued walking.

Is the senior instrument technician great?I'm still a god of forging, I'll scare you to death if I say it... Huh.

Although it seems to be useless... Ji Chi's chest that had just stood up collapsed again, and he had no choice but to add in his heart.

Linton scratched his head and made the gray pigtails at the back of his head very messy. He sighed: "Oh, forget it, anyway, you live in Wangcheng, right? When the examiner comes out next year, you remember to come to the Institute of Equipment Come to me, prepare a few months in advance and always pass, right? How easy is this test!"

Ji Chi hummed twice perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it when you get to the Equipment Academy."

Linton: "Wow, you don't believe me again, do you? Of course there is a reason for me to come out early... Ah, I won't tell you, the time is up, and I'm going to grab food! See you later!"

After finishing speaking, he ran towards the royal family's aid station in a flash, making Ji Chi's eyelids twitch.

How did your brain circuit grow, kid?Leaving the test site early just to receive an aid dinner?

Ji Chi stood where he was, staring at Linton's back in disbelief.He glanced at the burning red of the setting sun in the sky, and walked slowly towards the aid station.

He wants to see what kind of treasures the royal family distributes.

There are not a few days left for the next test, and most of the testers are still struggling in the auditorium, so there are far fewer people flocking to the aid station this evening.

Ji Chi stood unhurriedly at the last place in the line, eyes half down, waiting patiently.

The hut of the aid station is built with hard and firm wood, and covered with a layer of red silk cloth to prevent rain and dust. The hut is very large, and there are many people busy inside, creating a lively appearance. .

Ji Chi glanced at it and lowered his eyebrows in disdain, pretending... If the royal family really cared about the common people, they wouldn't have set up an aid shack in the whole town, deliberately designing a crowded scene.

Not only was the hut unreasonably set up, but so was the aid food—Ji Chi didn't smell the food until he was only two or three meters away from the hut.

The roasted grains exude a soft fragrance, mixed with a faint fermented sour smell. Ji Chi is still frowning slightly when he smells it, but for the hungry and full civilians, it is already refreshing and comforting.

The food on the chopping board is very simple. With a tester's magic crest, he can receive a piece of white bread the size of two palms and the size of a brick.

It looks like white bread, but you can feel the roughness of the light yellow bran on the bread just by looking at it.

Ji Chi handed the magic crest to the people at the aid station, and let them mark it. Immediately afterwards, a heavy, cold piece of bread fell on the palm of his hand, and the bread without any packaging bag was exposed outside the shed , and soon became contaminated with the unique dust of East Town.

Ji Chi held the bread and withdrew from the increasingly crowded crowd. He stared at the bread for a long time before gently breaking off a piece from the charred corner and putting it in his mouth.

Rough, bland, and slightly sour, a variety of indescribable flavors collide in the mouth. Only when you taste it very carefully, can you feel the taste of grain from the gap between one or two grains of sand mixed in.

"This must not be as good as the old man's white bread, right?" Linton came to his side at some point, stared at Ji Chi narrowly and smiled, and said rascally, "If you can't eat it, give it to me, don't throw it away, It's much better than being hungry."

He was about to reach out to grab the bread in Ji Chi's hand: "You must have never experienced that feeling, right? Your stomach feels like a fire is burning, your body is trembling weakly, and your eyes are blurred... Wait until you recover." After coming here, I no longer know what I paid to fill my stomach."

Linton said it very easily, but the hardships in it were unimaginable for Ji Chi, who lived in a prosperous age.

Ji Chi turned sideways, avoided his claws, lowered his head and took a big bite, and said vaguely, "Who says I won't eat, I'm hungry too."

Linton stared dumbfounded at his bulging cheeks, rushed over to fight for the missing piece of bread, and shouted heartbroken, "Ahhh! Why are you doing this? Why don't you give it to me if you can't eat it? What are you grabbing from me!"

Ji Chi tried to break away from him: "I just want to eat this, what's the matter? You must be really hungry, or you can find me a bakery, and I'll give you the whole plate?"

Linton's heart was moved shamefully, his eyes flickered wildly, but in the end he let go of Ji Chi, curled his lips: "Forget it, anyway, I can hold on for a while..."

Ji Chi didn't hear clearly, and was about to take this opportunity to hide away when he was interrupted by a slightly familiar voice.

"Ji Chi, what are you doing here?"

Ji Chi had heard this question countless times in the past few days, and turned his head a little irritablely. After seeing who it was, his mood became even worse: "Your Highness, what can I do?"

William was supported by several young students who looked like students. He was wearing a uniform crocheted with gold thread, standing in the setting sun and exuding a noble golden light.

Among those students, one happened to be a senior from the Academy of Magic. He gave Ji Chi a complicated look, and whispered something in William's ear.

"Apparatus technician test? You actually..." William laughed in surprise, obviously thinking that Ji Chi was just here to make trouble, he glanced at the hard bread in Ji Chi's hand, "Why did you go to receive aid? Although You are also a commoner, but as long as you come to me, I will definitely not treat you badly, after all, I haven't personally apologized to you yet."

It was obviously soft words, but Ji Chi felt inexplicably uncomfortable hearing that, he turned his head coldly and walked away, saying, "No need, if I'm framed again, it won't be easy to solve it here."

The smile froze at the corners of William's mouth, and he stared at Ji Chi's back with deep eyes, until the people next to him cautiously called him, and William came back to his senses: "Let's go, just a short-sighted commoner, I don't believe he still It can turn the sky upside down."

On the other side, Linton silently followed Ji Chi all the way, so quiet that Ji Chi couldn't help but look sideways.

"What are you planning?"

Linton murmured: "Yeah, why did I forget that only civilians can receive aid... So, you are a civilian?!"

Linton stared at Ji Chi with complete disbelief.

Ji Chi didn't understand why he cared about these things, shrugged: "I didn't say I was a nobleman, no, is there any difference?"

"Of course there is!" Linton was in a bad mood. "How can nobles and commoners be confused? If you pretend to be a noble, you are not afraid of accidents! Fortunately, only I know, otherwise it will be very serious if someone finds out!"

Ji Chi stopped and looked at him puzzled: "I still don't understand, what is your criterion for distinguishing nobles from commoners? Money? Rights? Or power? Except for the difficulty of rights, I dare not say that the rest are easy to come by. But the chances of getting them are not out of the question."

Linton was dazed by his logic, holding his head in thought.

Ji Chi squeezed his chin and thought for a while, trying to make him understand by analogy: "Then do you think there will be a group that uses the amount of hair to distinguish between superior and inferior?"

Linton's sense of the picture came up, and he quickly interrupted him with a wave: "Stop, stop, what are you talking about?! There is such a ridiculous way to distinguish!"

Ji Chi glanced at him lightly: "You also think it's ridiculous, so why don't you feel it if you change it to yourself? Obviously they all have the same structure and the same idea, can you use a bunch of metals to distinguish between high and low? ?It is true that people with more resources have more advantages. I can’t refute it, but people who don’t have these resources for the time being don’t need to think of themselves as nothing.”

Linton's eloquent teeth when he asked for money disappeared. He sighed deeply and muttered, "It's easy to say, you don't know what we are facing. How could we..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice was. Ji Chi didn't bother to ask, nodded, and apologized heartily: "I'm sorry, maybe I'm using my perspective and taking things for granted."

"But now, I know what you are missing." Ji Chi turned around and gave him a grin, with his back to the sunset, his whole body was enveloped by a soft light, "Then let me be that possibility Come on, you have to open your eyes and look at me carefully."

"Look at how I became a light, breaking through this dark night."
