Chapter 66: Shopping Thoughts and Frustrations:
What will you do when you have money?
Of course buy, buy, buy!
Returning to the dormitory, he took out the magic stones from the mailbox, and Link hid most of the magic stones in the study.
Then he didn't stay in the dormitory any longer, and immediately walked to the living service building with dozens of magic stones in his arms.
A set of casual clothes and a set of formal clothes, including a jacket and trousers, that I have long been interested in. Pack them up and take them away.
Casual clothing and formal clothing are rune items and belong to suits. The defense effect is close to the peak of the 0-ring defense magic defense ability.
The effect is outstanding and the price is not cheap. The two sets cost a total of thirty-six magic stones.
At this point, Link's defense system composed of witchcraft and rune items has basically taken shape.
Coupled with several uses of the water shield technique, Link's defense power is second to none among wizard apprentices.
Below the official wizard level, only a few peak third-level wizard apprentices have the ability to break Link's defenses.
Not to mention the rampage of war in the Southern District of Junior College, that would be too rampant.
Once this kind of flag is set, it is easy to suffer disaster.
But against any new blood from Storm Sea, including third- and fourth-year students, Link would not be weak.
Personal safety has been basically guaranteed, and it’s done. No one is afraid of whom.
And Jasmine used practical actions to tell Link what it means to follow the trend.
A women's top with a level 1 witchcraft weapon. The style is similar to Link's vest. The price is 35 magic stones?
With a wave of my hand, buy!
Same style for women's casual and formal wear, buy it!
The same style of women's cloak, buy it!
The same style but newly upgraded spell-breaking sleeve crossbow, buy it!
Self-exploding fire mines, forbidden magic net guns, and incendiary bombs, buy them!
In short, it is a principle. As long as it is the witchcraft and rune items carefully selected by Link, Jasmine will follow them without any thought.
Including the level 1 witchcraft glasses on Link's nose, aren't they just 2 "credits"?
Jasmine generously spent all the two "credits" that were just assigned to her.
This is a determined attempt to use himself as a pendant, tightly tied to Link's body.
Link looked at it, a little speechless, and didn't stop him.
So be it.
Returning to the dormitory from the living service building, Link sorted out his eight 0-level witchcraft and felt that he still lacked one or two attack-type witchcraft.
The 0-level water and wood witchcraft in the Witchcraft Trading Center are really stretched in terms of attack, and there is no one that Link particularly likes.
Link believed that the academy must have powerful attack-type 0-level witchcraft, but it was just not released for the apprentices to redeem.
The academy has its own reasons for doing this.
Armed with a sharp weapon, the murderous intention arouses itself.
Young people between the ages of 12 and 16, whose minds are not yet mature and whose outlook on life is not yet complete, are inherently prone to conflicts and disputes.
Fighting over disagreements is common.
The new bloods have mastered the powerful attack-type 0-level witchcraft. Doesn't it increase the incidence of bloody conflicts and even firefights with casualties?
What?
You mean witchcraft and rune items?
Among the new blood from the Sea of Storms, how many of them can earn as much magic stone as Link and are crazy armed?
The magic stones they brought with them simply couldn't support such consumption.
Take Jasmine as an example, the only daughter of the Baron family, she only has one runic item, a flying knife, a hidden weapon, and ten standard first-level magic stones.
Even if the new blood of the aristocracy whose family background is higher than Jasmine's is richer, it is not much richer.
What's more, there are no offensive magic weapons for sale in the academy, and most of the offensive rune items on sale are consumables.
It's gone once it's used, and it's extremely difficult to replenish it. New bloods will naturally cherish it and won't abuse it.
Through the combined use of several measures, coupled with the intelligent law enforcement puppets scattered throughout the campus, the college has suppressed the incidence of bloody conflicts on campus from the source.
This also led to Link's immediate dilemma.
I have magic stones, but I don’t have the witchcraft model scroll I want to redeem.
Link couldn't help but think of going to outside bookstores, scroll shops, or even the black market to look for witchcraft model scrolls.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is a black market.
All kinds of shameful behaviors, such as selling stolen goods, purchasing intelligence, commissioning murders, etc., occur many times every day in the black market.
It is said that the black market often sells some powerful witchcraft model scrolls, and they are not recorded in the college information system.
The college is located in Riversouth, Michel District, Tudor Region, on the west coast of the main continent.
After leaving the academy, take a "passenger bus" or "rail transit train" and it will take about 10 minutes to reach the only big city in the Riversouth area, Riversouth City.
Reversos City has five urban districts: east, south, west, north and central.
The West District has two "aircraft" airports, three "rail transit train" stations, three "passenger car" stations, and six "truck" stations. It is the logistics distribution base of River South City.
The black market exists in the West District.
This information can be found on the college's "forum".
The attitude of the college is obvious.
On campus, the college will try its best to ensure the personal safety of apprentices, but if an apprentice commits suicide outside the school, the college will not forcefully take care of it.
After all, even if an apprentice dies suddenly outside the school, as long as the body is not completely destroyed, the college has various ways to recover the resources invested.
As for River Soth City, as the name suggests, it is a city affiliated with the academy, or the city of Great Sage Rivo and Great Sage Soth. How many people dare to violate the unspoken rules set by the academy.
Although many apprentices die in the West End every year, the bodies are rarely destroyed and are eventually recovered by the academy.
Link's strength suddenly increased, and he suddenly became wild and wanted to go shopping in the black market.
Is it a place where I can wander around casually?
"I'm drifting, I am indeed drifting!"
Link reflected on himself in time and used "Occlumency" to suppress his somewhat drifting mentality.
Even if you want to go shopping outside the school, there is no need to be in such a hurry, and there is no need to go directly to the black market.
There are only four weeks left in the fall semester.
Let’s wait until the final exam is over and the holidays are over before we’re ready.
Having made up his mind, Link stopped thinking and entered deep meditation with peace of mind.
...
After stabilizing his mentality, Link continued to live a life of learning, practicing, experimenting, and meditating every day, monotonous but self-disciplined.
Everything else is fine, even if the public opinion offensive on the "forum" is revived and agitated again.
The only thing that made Link unhappy was that his research was in trouble.
There is no problem with seed germination, cultivation, leaf extraction, etc.
Routine laboratory operations, plus some wizardry assistance.
But determining which ingredient in the extract plays a calming role, how to improve this effect, and how to form a mature product, which involve
pharmacology, pharmaceutical research and development and production, give Link a headache.
He had little exposure to relevant knowledge in his previous life and lacked reference.
Among the courses currently being taught, only "Botany" briefly touches on pharmacology and pharmaceuticals.
The three courses of "Pharmacology", "Principles and Research and Development of Pharmacy", and "Alchemy and Pharmacy" will not be offered until the fall semester of the third grade.
In other words, Link's strategy accidentally shifted too much.
I can't even cross the river by feeling for the stones.
