Winter Year, January 1st.

The first day of school at Gray's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

With the recommendation letter given by the old fox, Zhou Ming successfully entered this school.

Became a temporary exchange student in Magic Class 6.

Gray Magic School is indeed very large, more than ten times the size of Brno Magic School, with more than 1,800 students and a total of 60 classes.

Among the nearly two thousand students, more than half are domestic students from the Dolan Empire, and there are more than 800 "foreign students" from surrounding kingdoms... Gray Magic School, which has produced many legendary mages, is very famous. It is a large school and the quality of education is very high. Naturally, many students whose families have sufficient financial resources come to this school to study abroad.

Take Zhou Ming's Class 6 as an example. Among the more than 30 classmates, they are basically all from noble backgrounds. There are some children of dukes and earls, some princes and princesses from small kingdoms, and some descendants of wealthy businessmen... These classmates Inside, Zhou Ming is the most inconspicuous person.

As for the highly talented civilians... none of them.

By the way, what is the purpose of Zhou Ming entering Gray Magic School?

Or ask: What is his purpose in coming to the Dolan Empire?

study.

The main purpose is to learn.

He has basically completed all the magic knowledge at Brno Magic School, and has a relatively familiar understanding of magic...but has not yet reached the level of proficiency.

Gray Magic School has more resources and richer knowledge reserves. Zhou Ming will naturally not miss this opportunity to learn and communicate and enhance his understanding of magic.

Because the deeper the understanding of magic, the more benefits Zhou Ming will get.

The most prominent point is that his meditation practice speed is much faster than that of ordinary magicians.

Without taking [Soothing Potion], his meditation speed is 145% of that of popular magicians.

That is 1.45 times.

Coupled with the double meditation time bonus of [Soothing Potion], his meditation speed is 2.9 times that of popular magicians.

That is, he meditates for one day, which is almost equivalent to three days for other magicians.

What a terrifying speed? It's like turning on a plug-in.

Why can he practice so fast?

system.

The system in his brain helped him accelerate his cultivation.

Because of the powerful computing power of the system, and using his body as the simulation object, the meditation method is continuously optimized to achieve the most efficient, fastest, and least consumed practice state... thus achieving the accelerated effect of VIP members. .

The system is just like the "intelligent brain chip" in some wizard novels, and its functions are only strong but not weak.

Therefore, with the assistance of the system, Zhou Ming does not need to purchase other props except for purchasing a few [Probability Cards]... The system is the biggest cheat.

Of course, the "nutrient" needed for this plug-in's "evolution" method is an infinite amount of magical knowledge.

The more knowledge is acquired, the greater the "additional effect" achieved by the system.

After entering Gray School of Magic, Zhou Ming's target was the school's library with a collection of more than 50,000 volumes.

Zhou Ming wanted to enter the school library and sweep away the 50,000 volumes of books.

but……

He is just a foreign exchange student.

The library only opened the bottom floor to him, granting him access to 5,000 books.

There was no way for him to enter the nine floors above.

There's no point in going to Principal Bram Field...Personal relationships are not as important as rules and regulations.

Unless...he makes a more outstanding contribution to the school.

Therefore, Zhou Ming honestly disclosed to the principal that he was a "mid-level pharmacist" and wanted to apply for a pharmacy laboratory, hire several assistants, and obtain permission to purchase some medicinal materials through school channels.

"Okay, sure!" Bram agreed readily.

A week after getting the lab.

Zhou Ming's "Leilin Pharmacy Store" opened.

A total of eight kinds of potions are sold to the outside world, including [Soothing Potion], [Healing Potion], and [Magic Restoration Potion].

Among them, [Calming Medicine] is sold in large quantities, with no limit on purchase quantity, and the price is surprisingly low.

[Calming Potion] priced at 1,000 gold coins/bottle, students at Gray School of Magic can enjoy a 50% discount, only 500 gold coins/bottle.

School teachers and professors can enjoy a 30% discount, only 300 gold coins/bottle.

In order to thank the school for providing the venue and medicinal materials, Zhou Ming donated 20% of the profits (after deducting all costs) to the school.

All of a sudden, the magic potions in "Leilin's Pharmacy" were sold like crazy.

On average, more than 500 bottles of various medicines are sold a day, basically occupying the entire school market.

Even many magicians outside the school have purchased relatively cheap magic potions from "Leilin Pharmacy Shop" through various channels.

Faced with the price butcher "Leilin Pharmacy", many pharmacies expressed strong dissatisfaction, and there were even pharmacists who came to him to trouble him. However, with the entire "Gray School of Magic" standing behind Zhou Ming, these little troubles were easily dismissed.

Naturally, Zhou Ming quickly became the "man of the hour" at Gray's School of Magic and became a popular representative.

As a reward for his outstanding contribution, he was given the right to read magic books on the five floors below the school library.

In order to obtain the permission to read the five levels of magic books above, Zhou Ming continued his efforts and released two more big moves in the next two months.

The first big move: magic aircraft.

He teamed up with the Continental Chamber of Commerce and Industry to develop and launch a "magic aircraft" for personal use - a flying backpack.

This kind of flying backpack is similar to the "flying backpack" in the modern world. It has a small structure and is carried on the back. The tail is equipped with a miniature "Wind Demon Engine" with a maximum thrust of about 200 kilograms, plus a windproof set weighing about 20 kilograms. Armor, plus a small magic stone embedded in the heart of the right hand, and a small amount of magic lines - after injecting magic power, a flying backpack can drag a magician weighing less than 120 kilograms freely. flight.

Based on the design principle of "more speed, more savings", the cost of such a magic "flying backpack" is about 15,000 gold coins (80% of it is magic stones).

As for the price of the flight backpack:

Beggar's version: a set of 50,000 gold coins.

Rich version: a set of 150,000 gold coins.

Then within about two months, a total of nearly 2,000 sets of the two versions of the flight backpack were sold.

Over the city of Kaila, the capital of the Dolan Empire, a large number of magicians can be seen flying around in the sky every day, drawing various trajectories.

By the way, why are flying backpacks so popular among magicians?

Nothing more than two points.

One, the airborne time is long, very long.

Even a junior magician with only 20 magic units in his body can fly in the air for about 30 minutes.

And a third-level wind magic "Flying Technique" that requires 10 units of magic power to be released can stay in the air for only a little more than 10 seconds.

Two, flying fast, very fast.

Because wearing windproof armor, it is quite easy to fly at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. By increasing the power, it is not difficult to fly at a speed of four to five hundred kilometers per hour. However, the product manual states that "the maximum speed shall not exceed 200 kilometers per hour." If it exceeds this speed, If the backpack is hit or falls apart, the Continental Chamber of Commerce will not pay compensation.

By selling nearly 2,000 sets of flight backpacks, Zhou Ming made another huge profit.

A net profit of 80 million gold coins!

Zhou Ming, who received more than 60 million gold coins, immediately became the richest man in the Dolan Empire, the undisputed richest man.

He immediately took out 20 million gold coins and donated them to Gray School of Magic in the name of building a new library for the school.

So he gained access to read magic books on the fourth floor of the library... Nine floors of the ten-floor library were open to him.

The last floor left, the tenth floor of the library, which only houses 500 volumes of magic books, is not yet open to him.

It's also unlikely to be open to him.

"The tenth floor stores some knowledge about [Forbidden Magic]. People who are not legendary mage or above are not allowed to enter. Dear Leylin, when you become a legendary mage, go to the top floor."

Principal Bram said that the destructive power of Forbidden Curse Magic is astonishing and can even destroy a small kingdom. Regarding Forbidden Curse Magic, all countries strictly keep it secret to prevent leaks.

Zhou Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

But that doesn't mean he just gave up.

He also has a big move. Once released, he guarantees that he will be qualified to enter the tenth floor of the library...it only takes 3 hours to enter.

And the target of his ultimate move is no longer Principal Bram, but a higher-level figure:

Emperor of the Dolan Empire—Cassinger Picaro.
