Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 318: Exchanging for Sea Gold Sand and Scorching Gold Sand Flow
Dean Thompson explained to Locke, "After all, you only enjoy the most basic service of the Nigervold Astrology System. Within a year, you can only send a maximum of one hundred messages. If you want to enjoy a higher tier of the Nigervold Astrology System, you need to... pay money. You should be able to see the recharge interface for the Nigervold Astrology System, right?"
Locke nodded and looked at the panel shrouded in grayish-white mist before his eyes. The corner of his mouth immediately twitched. This Nigervold Astrology System actually had a membership system.
Bronze members paid three thousand magic stones per month and could enjoy accelerated message sending, as well as special message encryption and basic anti-interference functions, with an annual bonus of one thousand message sending privileges.
Silver members paid five thousand magic stones per month and could enjoy a series of basic value-added services. In addition, they could enjoy more advanced anti-magic interference functions and could create groups of up to ten people, with no limit on the number of messages sent.
The highest tier, gold members, needed to pay ten thousand magic stones per month, which meant paying one hundred twenty thousand magic stones per year. They could enjoy a dazzling array of functions and could create groups of up to two hundred people.
Locke instantly realized that this gold membership was fundamentally a service provided for... the deans of wizard organizations in the southeastern quadrant.
Because only the deans of wizard organizations needed to pull dozens of formal wizards into a group.
The next moment, an information request appeared on Locke's gray mist panel from Dean Thompson inviting Locke to join. With a thought, Locke chose to agree.
Immediately, an interface called Lilith's Cottage Wizard Association appeared on his gray mist stone tablet. Within this interface, many formal wizards from Lilith's Cottage appeared discussing things.
Locke discovered that those ordinary formal wizards in the academy sent very few messages in this place, only one or two. Those who sent the most messages were Halen Vera and Lady Morgana, as well as several other advisors.
Even Senior Advisor Francis was there.
Locke understood the reason. Ordinary formal wizards were probably enjoying the free service and had a limited number of messages they could send per year, so they were sparing with their words.
The several academic powers and senior advisors in the academy had very likely already purchased silver membership, or at least bronze membership, so they could freely discuss things on the Nigervold Astrology System.
The Nigervold Astrology System was maintained and updated by the White Wizard Association and consumed quite a lot of resources annually, so of course it couldn't allow First Circle wizards to use it at will.
Being able to provide a basic function for free use was already very good.
Locke saw that Halen Vera had applied to establish a bilateral connection with his gray mist stone tablet, and at the same time, within this association interface, sent him a message of affirmation and praise.
Locke agreed to his request.
Locke also saw that within this association, Francis had been constantly demanding from the beginning that Lilith's Cottage's First Circle wizards take immediate action and stop worrying about the plan, and later kept sending messages to others saying to trust his plan...
Locke was somewhat speechless. So the First Circle wizards in the academy had this Nigervold Astrology System where they could communicate with each other.
Previously, as just a wizard apprentice, he had no idea such a thing existed.
Indeed, the world in the eyes of wizard apprentices and the world in the eyes of formal wizards were fundamentally two different worlds.
Even if these two people were living at the same time and in the same place.
Locke exited the association interface and looked at the military merit value calculated by the association side. Locke first looked at the association's military merit value calculation method. Unfortunately, the association's military merit value calculation method was completely based on calculating the number of enemies you killed.
Because calculating whether you had any special contributions in the war was very complex and difficult to calculate. There could even be a lot of water in it, making it easy to fabricate and falsify.
But if only the number of kills you had was calculated, then it would become very easy to calculate.
A First Circle wizard killing wizard apprentices couldn't count as military merit. Only killing formal wizards among the black wizards could count as military merit.
The military merit for killing one formal wizard was 100.
Locke saw that his military merit displayed 100.
Then, Locke quickly looked at the exchange list sent by the association side. He saw on the gray mist stone tablet's exchange item list that there were at least over thirty pages, and each page was full of First Circle items.
Dean Thompson also seemed very happy.
After looking at the exchange item list, he smiled. "The association is rarely this generous. It seems we've made quite a bit of money from this war. That's right, wars must be fought to make money. If you fight a war that doesn't make money, even if you win, it's equivalent to losing."
Locke was searching through these item lists for information currently useful to him.
Half an hour later, after Locke carefully looked through the item list once, he keenly noticed that on this list, items that could directly or indirectly strengthen a formal wizard's mental power were extremely few, and most were still mental power strengthening items used during the ordinary wizard stage. For formal wizards at the vaporization stage, they were already completely useless.
Among them, only one item, called Socks' Blood, could strengthen the mental power of formal wizards at the vaporization stage, but it was useless for liquefaction First Circle wizards.
Socks' Blood seemed to be the blood of a powerful life form from another world but the military merit required for exchange was at least 500.
One had to kill five ordinary First Circle wizards to exchange for one portion of Socks' Blood.
'This shows that in the southeastern quadrant, for First Circle wizards, resources are indeed scarce,' Locke thought. 'No wonder wizards with ambition absolutely won't stay here.'
'I just don't know why there are Second Circle wizards willing to remain in the southeastern quadrant. With the resources of the southeastern quadrant, even for First Circle wizards it's somewhat cramped. They should completely lack the ability to support Second Circle wizards in making progress.'
'Perhaps there's some special reason.'
Locke continued looking at the item list. Since he couldn't exchange for items that could increase magical power, then he'd see if he could exchange for items that could make up for the current situation of having too few spells in his spell pool.
After thinking, Locke set his target on a First Circle fern magical plant called [Sea Gold Sand]. This First Circle adult magical plant also came with several magic books for the [Scorching Gold Sand Flow] series of First Circle spells, as well as 10 related A-level articles and 3 related S-level articles.
This was equivalent to an entire packaged First Circle magical knowledge system. If Locke wanted to purchase it with magic stones, the entire set would probably cost nearly one hundred thousand magic stones. Moreover, although Sea Gold Sand was just an ordinary First Circle magical plant, in the southeastern quadrant, if one wanted to obtain it through trade, it still required some luck and waiting for this kind of magical plant to appear in circulation on the market.
But exchanging it within the military merit system only required 100 military merit.
