Chapter 533 Craze (Second Update Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Watching Roque leave, Lucian shook his head and smiled, not optimistic about his ideas, and then turned his attention back to the Arcane, reading until the end, and saw the discussion paper submitted by Annick and Splinter - a discussion about the difference between the actual effect and the ideal effect of the cyclotron.
"I hope more people start thinking about this." Lucian closed the journal and focused on analyzing the eight-ring magic.
…………
On the morning of July 3, the heat wave was rolling.
Lowe didn't know how many times he had been to the Alninge Magic Tower in recent times, he only knew that if he couldn't find a task he could complete and get enough money to pay the rent, it would be difficult for him to survive in Alin'e, a place where everything was expensive, and he had to stay away from this "center of arcane and magic" and look for opportunities elsewhere.
"It's all my fault, I was afraid of hardship when I was in school, I didn't work hard enough, I couldn't become an elite apprentice, and I couldn't be recommended for a good position." If you can become an elite apprentice in the school, you can be recommended to the magician management department, apprentice assessment department, mission area and other council departments, or major organizations, various journals, various alchemy companies in Allinger.
Lowe touched his arms, which contained a letter of recommendation from the school, for a local magic organization in Pephos County, Holm Kingdom.
Although it is very enviable for other magic apprentices who go to remote counties and even the Solar Islands branch to be recommended to Pephos County, which can be ranked among the top three most prosperous areas in the Holm Kingdom, for Lovi, who suddenly woke up when he graduated, as long as it is not Alinge, it means that it is far away from the "center of arcane and magical research" and will gradually distance the students who are left here.
According to a sample survey and statistics from the Lace Weekly magazine "Impressions of Allinger", which appeared a few years ago, about one in ten apprentices who stay in Alinge for at least three years after leaving the magic school can become a full-fledged magician, not to mention the horror ratio of three to one of the elite apprentices who are recommended to a good position, which is much higher than the twenty to one of the branches of various countries outside of Rentat.
The Solar Islands Branch and the remote county magic organization reached an astonishing thirty to one, which was prohibitive, and no one wanted to go unless there was really no way to do it - after the "World Real" channel, it is said that it has changed a lot.
Thinking of this, Lowe resolutely moved his fingers away from his chest, not behind, from the beginning.
But at this time, the feeling of fire in his stomach made Lowe smile bitterly, in order to save money, he hadn't had breakfast for a while.
If you can't find something that suits you and pays relatively well, your dreams can only succumb to reality, unless you are willing to take on tasks that seem more dangerous.
"Is it life, or is it a dream? It's really hard to choose." Lowe teased himself, swallowed a mouthful of saliva to relieve his hunger, straightened his black apprentice's robe, which was starting to look old, and walked towards the mission area.
Finding a silver-gray metal counter that was temporarily empty, Lo Wei raised his head slightly and carefully looked at the tasks displayed on the dark green magic water curtain.
"Gusta Empire Southern Desert Secret Mining Mission: Fixed reward of one arcane point or Kintale every day, and finally receive additional rewards based on the quality and quantity of ore. Strength requirements: Unlimited. Quantity: Unlimited. Danger level: very high, you need to face monsters in the desert, and you also have to guard against attacks from church night watchmen and clergy, and at the same time, the ore contains invisible curses."
The generous reward flashed Lovi's eyes, but the final description stopped him, without the strength of a formal magician, he didn't even think about completing the task more safely, at least seven or eight out of ten apprentices had to die.
「…… Huo Langning's small shop needs an alchemy assistant for three years, responsible for food and accommodation."
Lowe was a little excited, although there was no pay, he could not buy materials and borrow books, but the fact that he only included room and board could avoid the high cost of living in Alinge, and this was still an alchemist's assistant, so he might be able to learn a lot.
"However, I am a magician who prefers to cast spells rather than refine items, and the three-year delay will only make me farther away from others, so I might as well go to Peyforth County and master the latest research direction through magic radio."
Lowe shook his head and continued to look at the missions, but they were either too dangerous, or the rewards were too low or the cycle was too long to cope with the embarrassing situation in front of them.
After reading the new mission for half an hour, Lovi became very frustrated, was he really going to leave Alinge?
A magician in a different costume next to him left chatting and laughing after taking on the task, but in Lovi's eyes, they were like a picture of another world, surrounded by color and light, while he was surrounded by a haze and gloom.
Refusing to give up, Lowe raised his head again, wanting to find a task with low pay and short cycle to cope with for a day, and then wait tomorrow to see if there was a suitable new task.
"Apprentice Recruitment Mission: The Atomic Research Institute on the eighteenth floor of the Alinge Magic Tower is in urgent need of ten apprentice-level assistants. Duration: Three years. Strength Requirements: At least a high-level magic apprentice. Reward: Ten Arcane points per month, free arcane and magic foundation books, experimental equipment without additional payment. Deadline: July 10th."
"Apprentice-level assistant?" Lowe repeated a little blankly, and the reward was unbelievably generous.
Suddenly, his gaze suddenly froze, and the words that looked dark red against the dark green jumped into his eyes:
"Atomic Research Institute?"
"Atomic Research Institute!"
The Atomic Research Institute, the atomic research institute of Mr. Lucian Evans, the proposer of "New Alchemy", is a sacred place in the minds of every magician who aspires to the path of elements and matter.
Recruiting apprentice-level assistants in such a place?
So what are you waiting for!
Lowe felt that the dream was right in front of him, it was so dazzling, he breathed heapingly, quickly took the task, and took a transmitted form from the person in charge.
"Resume?" Lowe had never heard of this kind of thing since he was a child, and he was a little stunned for a while, but fortunately, the terms and conditions on the noodles were very clear, and he could fill them out one by one according to his own situation.
"If the 'resume' passes the review, there will be the first round of written examination in two days, which is an assessment of the fundamentals of arcane and magic in the elemental field." The person in charge repeated the details of the task in a strange way, and she had never heard of the so-called resume and written test.
Can I stay in Alinge for two more days in two days? Is it a transition to various low-paying and short-cycle tasks?
Lowe was a little dazed, but his heart quickly surged up, and he looked at his apprentice's robe and said secretly: "I can't be distracted by tasks, I must concentrate on reviewing the basics of arcane and magic...... Selling this robe to the exchange area should last for seven days!"
With the decision, Lowe's eyes brightened, and he walked out with force.
After watching him leave, the person in charge shook his head, and his face also showed an enthusiastic expression, and he quickly got a resume to fill in.
Luo Wei had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard someone exclaim:
"The Institute of Atomics is looking for an apprentice-level assistant?"
"Atomic Research Institute recruits!"
"Really? Real? Let me see!"
In the sound of one after another, the entire mission area was boiling, and many apprentices were so excited that their faces were red, as if they saw a bright future!
This made Lo Wei frown slightly, the competition seemed to be fierce, but he immediately smiled self-deprecatingly, if there was no fierce competition even for this kind of thing, it means that he had been dreaming.
Walking steadfastly, Lowe saw the teacher at his magic school as he passed by the mission platform at the very edge, and the usually kind middle-aged man was now dancing like an apprentice.
"Hello, Mr. Balzali." Lowe said politely.
Balzali recognized that he was a student he was more satisfied with, so he smiled at the black-haired and blue-eyed Lowe: "You are also here to take on the task? Hurry up and pick up the apprentice's assistant task at the Atomic Research Institute, I just took it!"
"Teacher, you, aren't you a second-ring magician, a second-level arcanist? This is an apprentice's assistant!" Lowe asked in astonishment.
Balzali clenched his fists and said with a fanatical face: "What is this? As long as you can enter the atomic research institute, what does it matter if you become an apprentice as a magician? It was at the forefront of the elemental realm, and I could hear the teachings of Mr. Lucian Evans and get in touch with the deepest mysteries of elements and matter."
Lovi suddenly had a toothache, the pressure of this competition was too great.
However, the flame of dreams and ambitions in his heart is burning and cannot be extinguished, filling him with anticipation and motivation.
…………
After the first round of written tests and interviews, there was a dejected Roque in the Atomic Research Institute.
In this regard, Lucian asked curiously and implicitly corrected: "Roque, what's wrong? Don't have a crush on someone? No one throws a hug to you? I remember that the institute was almost overwhelmed by the crowd these days."
Roque said annoyedly: "Some female apprentices do have such behavior, uh, a few male apprentices also have ...... But I refused them all. I want to find a marriage partner, do I dare to ask for this? And those I like are all self-respecting, polite and alienated, and have no chance at all, what's wrong with this!"
Lucian laughed and patted Roque on the shoulder: "It's a good thing to expand your friendship and find a marriage partner, but you can't do this way, it's not difficult to find a mistress, but if you want to find a good girl who is independent and self-reliant, worthy of respect and love, you can only hehe. I was going to persuade you a few days ago, but I thought it would be good for you to take a lesson, okay, let go of your mind, complete the second round of written test and interview fairly, I will do the final interview myself."
Roque sighed and complained jokingly: "You seem to understand it very well."
"Of course, I have a girlfriend." Lucian replied in a joking tone.
