Chapter 136 Making money! Make money!
The official average price of a 0-level spell recipe is 6 gold coins.
The number of spells currently mastered by Gaode is 19, which is still 16 short of 35.
Calculated this way, just purchasing the spell formula requires at least 96 gold coins.
And this is the lowest price.
Because the further you go, the more difficult it is to purchase unmastered spell formulas, and the more money you need to spend.
In addition, spell recipes are also divided into two levels: common and rare.
In addition to being difficult to buy with money, rare spell formulas are usually much more expensive than ordinary spell formulas.
So if you want to expand your spell library to more than 35 before being promoted to a first-level mage, Gaode must prepare at least hundreds of gold coins.
His current balance is: 90 gold and 19 silver.
It has already fallen below the 100-gold mark, and is still decreasing at a steady rate.
Although the college does not have to pay house rent, you still have to pay for food.
In addition, the cost of renting a first-level training room is 10 silver/2 hours.
If leak-proof water can really be preserved, with its blessing, the time Gaode needs to rent a practice room for a day will be extended to two and a half hours.
The expenditure is accordingly increased to 12.5 silver.
This can be regarded as a daily fixed expenditure.
You will also need to pay a large amount of course fees for elective courses in the future.
This is another large and foreseeable expenditure.
"Make money, make money!" With this calculation, a deep sense of "fiscal deficit" crisis suddenly came to Gaode's heart.
Finding a stable way to "make money" suddenly became urgent.
Potion?
Without your own medicine garden to reduce the cost of raw materials, the profit from preparing zero-level potions is too low. It is just a hard-earned money.
Not considered.
Regain your old career as a restoration craftsman?
This does not require any cost, 100% profit.
It’s just that even in an environment like Siris Academy where all mages are present, the total number of damaged spell items that need to be repaired is not too many.
So this is a way to make money, but it is not stable and is closer to a one-time deal.
Moreover, how to attract business is also a problem.
If you rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the sea to eat the sea.
After some screening, Gaode found that it seems that under the current situation, The most practical way to "make money" is to work for the college and take on college tasks provided by the college's logistics department.
And to be honest, he was quite curious about what kind of academy tasks the academy would provide.
When he thought of the Logistics Department, Gaode suddenly remembered something:
He has not paid the monthly maintenance fee of 5 silver coins for the "dormitory"
Put it off any longer , I am afraid that I will be put on the list of "laogui" by the college.
He can't afford to lose this person.
This trip to the Logistics Department is a must.
Logistics Department, Finance Department.
Gaode handed his identity plate and the 3 gold coins he had prepared to the old scholar in the office who was wearing the work uniform of Siris College.
He planned to pay one year's maintenance fees in advance while he had plenty of money now.
"Gaode, pay the one-year maintenance fee for Building 30 in District 1, totaling 3 gold coins."
The old scholar took Gaode's things, lowered his head to record, and confirmed with Gaode again.
"Recorded" After a moment, he handed Gaode's identity plate and a receipt with the seal of the Finance Department back to Gaode.
"Thank you." Gaode, who had deposited another 3 gold, took these things, left the Finance Department, and went straight to the task hall on the first floor of the Logistics Department.
This is the destination of his trip.
Compared with the committee's course selection hall, the task hall of the logistics department is much more lively, with three counters open at the same time. Two of the counters are used for students to receive tasks.
There is also a counter, which is used to record requirements and issue tasks.
——Except for a small part of the tasks posted in the task hall, which are issued by the academy, most of the rest come from instructors and even students in the academy.
"The mission notice board is above. Take a look at it first. If you like the one you like, go to the counter to pick up the mission."
A young female staff member in the lobby pointed to the horizontal hanging The huge "display" above the counter spoke to Gao Dedao.
The "display" displays tasks that have not yet been taken over in real time.
Of course, there is no electronic screen in this world.
The "display" is actually an alchemical machine.
The general "employment" direction of an alchemist is half to make extraordinary things, and the other half to make alchemical machines.
Although the former has the word "extraordinary" and sounds more noble, in fact the latter's prospects and financial prospects are not weaker than the former.
The gold content is also not weaker than the former.
If you don’t understand why these two directions are of the same level, you only need one sentence to make it clear:
Airships are actually a type of alchemy machine.
Gothe stopped in front of the huge mission bulletin board, raised his head and browsed carefully.
[River Patrol]: Patrol to expel and kill earth-line creatures in the waters of the Naga River under Coolie Cliff.
This task has a cycle of seven days. To accept this task, you need to complete at least one task cycle, and the patrol time per day must not be less than five hours.

90 days is a task cycle. During the task cycle, it must be ensured that the damage rate of the magic plants in the medicine garden shall not exceed 50%, the yield rate shall not be less than 90%, and the magic plants will grow in good condition.

Complete the task and you will receive 20 gold coins and special borrowing rights for some books in the library.
This task requires.
The tasks hanging at the top of the task bulletin board are all tasks issued by the college.
The rewards are actually quite considerable.
But there are either requirements for the level of the mage, or there are requirements for the academic level of the students, and they need to complete the specified courses before they can apply to accept the task.
Gaode read more than a dozen mission announcements, but none of them was something he could take on.
Of course, it is definitely not the so-called egg dilemma of "you need work experience before you can work, and you need a job before you have work experience".
It should be those simple tasks with no requirements, which have already been "robbed" by other students.
Gothe continued to look down.
After passing the college tasks, the following are the tasks posted by the college instructors and students.
The content and requirements of the tasks have become all kinds of strange.
