Chapter 161: Thick Accumulation (3)
Comparing "study" with a person who drinks "Little Enlightenment Tea" at any time, how can other students compare?
The reason why Gothe thinks is "it's not that difficult" is because not everyone has magical skills and is afraid that he can't learn from other students.
It’s just that
there is a course fee to take classes.
And the "tuition fee" for each course is not cheap, 10 gold coins is just the starting price!
Whether you can understand this issue by taking multiple elective courses, [Divine Guidance +] can solve this problem.
But whether you can afford to take multiple elective courses is another matter.
But this matter is not within the business scope of [Divinity +].
After finishing today's study of "Rune Literature", Gothe went to the restaurant and added a limited special dish that he had not tasted for a long time, just as a "food supplement" after overexerting his brain.
The special dish provided by the restaurant today is grilled shark steak, served with asparagus and sliced tomatoes as a side dish, and comes with a dessert: raisin shortbread.
There are novelties and flavors, but the price of this special dish is 12 silver coins.
This made Gaode grit his teeth twice before he made up his mind and ordered one.
After finishing the meal, it was still some time before the afternoon class of "Nolan Continent Geography and War Geography" started.
Gaode returned to the dormitory first, took out the materials he had compiled for the "Understanding of General Spells (Level 0-3)" and "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" courses, and sat down in the meditation room.
Gaode, who had regained a lot of energy, took a deep breath, cast another [Divine Guidance +] on himself, and then devoted his attention to the information.
Soon, he once again entered the flow state of "empty mind and active thinking".
In this state, the passage of time seems to slow down.
The knowledge points of only two courses flowed through his mind one after another as he continued to read the materials.
Time passes minute by minute.
One hour later.
Gaode put down the information in his hand with a tired face, took out the water bag, and took another sip of the fruit drink without leakage.
Corresponding to the tired look on his face was the infinite satisfaction and joy in his heart.
In just this hour, Gothe felt that he remembered and understood more things than he had in half a month.
Of course, in the previous life, there was a magical being called a college student, who could learn more things in one or two days than in a semester, and the prerequisite was "before the final exam".
But Gaode's situation is different. He was able to achieve such miraculous effects even though his previous studies had been very thorough and hard-working.
First in credits for freshmen?
He suddenly felt that this achievement, which he had regarded as a short-term goal, was not worth mentioning.
Because it has become too simple.
Things that are too easy to accomplish are not suitable as goals.
I took out my pocket watch and took a look. It was only half past twelve noon.
The afternoon classes don’t start until two o’clock.
Gaode, who entered the flow state after performing [Divine Guidance +] twice in a row, no longer held back and chose to go to bed and take a nap to regain his energy.
The 23rd of the Frost Moon.
Gaode knocked on He Xi's door again. Under He Xi's incomprehensible and suspicious eyes, he took the initiative to increase the daily learning amount to twice the current amount.
And in the inspection later that day, he conquered the hesitant He Xi with his absolutely perfect performance.
The 27th of the Frost Moon.
With the dual blessing of the first-level training room and the leak-proof water, Gothe's guidance method has experienced its third small breakthrough since entering Sires Academy.
After this breakthrough, his total mana was enough to support him to cast 11 tricks in one go.
If he continued to practice at this speed, Gao De estimated that it would only take another year for him to practice the apprentice guidance method to perfection.
By then, he would be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Can you be considered a genius if you look at it this way? Of course, this kind of genius must be preceded by the word "pseudo".
This kind of pseudo-genius is especially numerous among nobles.
Because the resources that noble mages can enjoy are definitely far better than Gothic.
Even a mage with average talent like Gothe can quickly complete the training progress of the guidance method on the premise of earning resources on his own, which is not a problem for aristocratic mage.
Then why can a 14-year-old level 1 mage like Yolan still shock so many people?
The reason is not complicated.
Guidance method can use resources to quickly accumulate progress, but meditation method has no such shortcut!
There are few methods to improve the progress of meditation practice. Even noble mages can only rely on themselves.
Therefore, it is very common for the children of nobles to practice the apprenticeship guidance method to perfection within the age range of 13-15 years old with the support of resources.
However, due to the lag in the progress of meditation, there are many examples of delays in upgrading the mage level to the third-class mage apprentice until after the age of twenty.
But for Gaode, this problem is not that difficult.
Because his talent for meditation is far better than his talent for guidance.
So, even if his progress is delayed by meditation after he has completed the guidance method, it will not be delayed for too long.
The 28th of the Frost Moon.
Gaode came to Building No. 17 in District 1.
This is where Jelika’s dormitory is.
Courses at Sires College mostly start at the beginning of each month, and few start at the end of the month.
So even if it is completely "study free" now, Gaode has no courses to choose from for the time being and needs to wait until the Frozen Moon comes.
Before that, he must get enough money to pay for the next course selection fees.
Gaode's savings are only 63 gold and 8 silver, which is not enough to support his "ambition".
If you want to get a lot of money in a short period of time, you obviously can't do it by taking on college tasks.
Gaode thought carefully for a long time and found that there was only one way out for him at the moment:
Selling leak-free water.
Although the leak-free fruit drink is also of great help to Gaode, under today's circumstances, exchanging it for money is obviously more profitable.
To get a clear shot, the channels Gaode can think of are Sadie and Jelika.
The former are from mutual aid associations, so they should be easy to talk to.
It’s just that how to win the trust of others is a problem. In addition, members of mutual aid associations may not have enough money to buy such a useful but not strictly needed fruit drink.
After considering this, Gaode gave up the Shadi channel.
As for the latter, first of all, they have already experienced the wonderful effect of leak-free water and have had a "transaction". They are considered old customers and do not need too much introduction, which is convenient and worry-free.
Second, Jelika is rich!
This is the true "rich daughter".
Only those with enough money would be willing to buy non-essential items like leak-proof water.
So, Gothe packed up his remaining fruit drinks and came to visit Jelika for the first time.
Two gallons of leak-free water, after brewing, yield approximately 2 gallons and 4 pints (about 12 liters) of fruit drink.
You need to drink 7 juices (approximately 0.2 liters) of fruit drink a day to fully exert the effect of leak-free water. If you drink more, the effect will not be further enhanced.
1 gallon is converted into 8 pints.
Gaode has consumed about 6 pints of fruit drink these days, and there are still 14 pints of fruit drink left. According to one serving per day, it can be regarded as 42 servings.
He had previously given Jelika a small pot of nearly a pint of fruit drink, and Jelika paid 10 gold coins as the purchase price.
According to such a rough calculation, if all the remaining 14 pints of fruit drinks can be sold in Jelika, it will bring about 140 gold in income to Gaode.
