Chapter 14: Teacher Nie Yang's Teaching Assistants
They are all apprentices of the mentor. The reason why their attitudes are so different is mainly because Pan Yuan is a senior apprentice. At this time, the apprentices have been trained for two years and those who have not been eliminated basically have a certain strength. At this time, they no longer need to rely on the mentor and can survive on their own in some plane fragments.
In fact, most of the senior students have been trying to descend alone to the plane fragments in the chaotic virtual sea, or some miniature complete planes.
Without conflict of interest, there will naturally be no hostility.
As time went by, more and more apprentices who had been approved by their mentors came. About half an hour later, when the number of people reached seventeen, the door was suddenly closed.
A muffled 'bang' startled Li Qing who was in silence.
At this time, the instructor had already stood up and said in a deep voice:
"From now on, you are my apprentices. I have granted you the permission to enter and exit the 17th floor of Blackrock Tower. Information about the teaching assistants and seniors , the first-year class schedule, and some rules and regulations of my school will be sent to you later. Please read them carefully."
"In addition, after tomorrow, you can come here at any time to check your qualifications. Any teaching assistant can do it, and then we will determine the extraordinary subject you need to learn based on your qualifications."
"Of course, I know that many of you have already tested your qualifications, but you still need to be retested."
After saying this, the mentor disappeared like a bubble, without any sign or reaction.
As soon as the instructor left, three silver-robed assistants stood up. The middle one, an elderly assistant with a silver robe dotted with stars, spoke up:
"I'm Nie Yang's assistant, Fu Zhenying, a fifth-level wizard and senior alchemist. I also teach subjects such as potions, magic philosophy, alien botany, and alien biology. If you want to major in these areas, you can sign up with me."
Then a middle-aged man on the right introduced himself:
"I'm Zhu Xiying, a fifth-level mage. I'm good at world system theory, plane geography, world principles, plane geometry, space geometry and other subjects. If you want to major in these areas, you can sign up with me."
The third teaching assistant was a foreign lady wearing a silver robe and with many tattoos on her face that looked like magic patterns. She introduced herself:
"I'm Funia, a fifth-level blood mage. I'm good at mutation, blood, biological transformation, and analysis of alien life. If you want to major in this area, you can sign up with me."
These five assistant coaches are professionals, not heroes.
They are all magic professions, and their strength is around level five.
However, it is worth mentioning that these three people are only representatives of the tutor's teaching assistants, and the tutor's teaching assistant team has a total of more than a dozen people.
In addition to these three, there is also a tutor who specializes in teaching politics and aristocracy.
A tutor who specializes in teaching matters related to state governance and administration.
A tutor who specializes in teaching urban planning.
A mentor who specializes in teaching commanders.
A mentor who specializes in teaching tactics and strategies.
Regarding the planning of the divine domain and how to advance, mentor Nie Yang personally taught us.
In addition, there are instructors for various melee professions, including warriors, knights, archers, assassins, summoners and other mainstream professions, each of which takes part-time jobs in some extraordinary courses such as forging, engineering and so on.
There are no professions such as priests and paladins that rely on gods, because to powerful war lords, the true gods of alien planes are just prey for them to hunt.
Any throne of God has the powerful strength to independently attack any foreign true god's kingdom.
Since they are powerful, there is naturally no need to believe in gods. It is even more impossible for the apprentices of the War Lord to believe in gods.
After introducing themselves, the three mentors left one by one, leaving behind three seniors.
These three seniors are similar to mentors. They are responsible for the daily life of the apprentices, handling emergencies between apprentices, and responsible for communication between apprentices and mentors.
This can also be considered a kind of academy task. Although it is very complicated and tests one's patience, the rewards are generous.
If you work hard for a year, you can get a generous salary and resources as a reward from your mentor and the academy. This is much more stable than taking risks in some plane fragments.
As soon as the mentor and the teaching assistant left, the apprentices became less reserved and a large number of new apprentices immediately surrounded the three seniors to ask some questions.
Seeing that the three seniors were quite busy, Li Qing did not go over to them. Instead, he found a seat in the hall and sat down. He opened his personal terminal and checked the information sent by his tutor.
First, check the instructor's dozen or so teaching assistants, and write down their names, occupations, appearances, and main courses, so that you won't be at a loss as to how to address them when you see them later.
Then there is the first grade curriculum...
There are seventy-seven courses in total, covering almost all professions and several major categories of extraordinary disciplines, and these major categories are composed of many subcategories.
The largest category is the magic career system, which has a total of seventy-seven courses, half of which are related to magic.
Of course, a large portion of the courses are just related to magic and are not required courses.
If apprentices want to become a wizard, they only need to major in one part. They can skip the other related but not necessary courses, or take them as electives when they have time in the future.
Half of the dozen or so teaching assistants teach courses related to the law system, simply because the vast majority of war lord apprentices, heroes, and professionals choose the law system.
Or to put it another way, any war lord apprentice, hero or professional who has some mage talent will definitely choose to become a mage.
Of course, a choice is just a choice. Whether you can become a mage depends on your personal talent.
There is no such thing as magic network in the new era. If apprentices want to become mages, it requires very high talent. Most of the apprentices who choose to become mages fail in the end.
Well, except for the Warlord Apprentice.
A Warlord Apprentice can almost 100% become a Mage.
The key point is that the Warlord Apprentice possesses the Divine Domain, and the Divine Domain energy pool can replace his own mana. This means that even if the Warlord Apprentice himself does not have the talent to become a wizard, he can forcibly cast spells with the help of the Divine Domain.
Moreover, by making use of the vast mana pool of the divine realm, as long as the accumulated elemental energy is sufficient and the mental power is strong enough, spells can be cast continuously until the energy pool or the mental power is exhausted.
Even if higher-level energy such as divine power can be accumulated in the energy pool, powerful war magic can be cast with the help of the divine domain.
For example, a normal fireball is a third-level spell that can be cast by a level 30 wizard. Its power is to cause mixed damage of flame burning and explosion impact to enemies within a radius of 10 meters in diameter.
But if it is performed with higher energy such as divine power, it is no longer fireball, but war magic fireball.
The range is increased tenfold.
The power is increased tenfold.
The explosion range is increased from the normal ten-meter explosion range of the fireball to a hundred-meter explosion range.
There is a little divine power in Li Qing's divine realm, but it is not enough to cast the war magic fireball.
But then again, although the War Lord's divine domain allows the War Lord to cast spells regardless of conditions, it can only replace energy after all, and it is not the War Lord's apprentice's own.
In other words, a war lord can definitely be a mage, but whether he can become a high-level mage depends on his own abilities.
As for the mage's talent, it has nothing to do with whether or not one is a war lord, nor does it have anything to do with whether or not one has strong bloodline and talent. Poor talent means poor talent, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
So here comes the question…
"Do I have a talent for magic?"
"No, it should be how strong my magician talent is."
I had taken a test once before from the five-star mentor Xiao Zhenqian, who took tests related to my mental strength and my bloodline. I ranked first, which means I definitely have the talent of a mage.
But he did not get the specific test data, so he didn't know whether he was talented or not.
After all, the first place is only the first among four people. 100 points is the first place. If the four people are not talented, 20 points may also be the first place.
“We have to test it again!”
Li Qing opened the personal information of counselor Pan Yuan, added him as a friend, then left a message and agreed on a time to go for the test.
The specific date depends on how many apprentices Pan Yuan has made appointments for testing.
However, there are only 17 apprentices in total, and with three instructors to share the workload, it should be my turn soon.
After doing all this, Li Qing left Blackrock Tower.
But he did not return to the dormitory, but went to the bar outside the college .
It was the same last time in the box. When he saw Zhao Dingzhen again, the beauty in his arms had changed.
"From your looks, you didn't succeed?"
Li Qing spread his hands:
"It's already been decided, so of course it's impossible to succeed."
"Oh, that's a pity."
Zhao Dingzhen sighed and said:
"It was just bad luck. If the news had come a little later, it would have been too late for someone to use the back door."
Li Qing shrugged and said:
"It doesn't matter. I was mentally prepared before signing up, and I also received compensation, triple compensation."
"Well……"
Zhao Ding swallowed back the words he was about to say, raised his thumb and praised:
"Niubi, that's really not a loss."
"Triple compensation, it should be more than one million. You can prepare more basic supplies."
Li Qing nodded:
"I see."
"Buy it now, the price will go up in a while."
"It's okay. My divine domain is not big, and my clan is not large. I don't need much basic supplies."
Zhao Dingzhen nodded and said:
"That being said, many things are unpredictable. If your instructor wants to test you and extend the time, you may be short of basic supplies such as food."
"Then I'll stock up more."
After coming out of the bar and returning to the dormitory, Li Qing opened the trading platform of the college city and searched for basic resources.
“As expected, prices have started to rise.”
The original price of rice was 4 yuan per kilogram, but now it has risen to 5 yuan per kilogram.
The original price of pork was 25 yuan per kilogram, but now it has risen to 27 yuan per kilogram.
The original price of wood was 200 yuan per cubic meter, but now it has risen to 220 yuan per cubic meter.
This is just the beginning. As the college starts, the prices will get higher and higher.
Because with the start of the school year, the instructors will take their apprentices away from the War Academy and head to the plane fragments surrounding the academy after they are ready .
The mentor will choose a suitable plane fragment, unfold the divine domain, and then teach various extraordinary courses to the war lord apprentices, heroes, and professionals while cultivating the war lord's practical combat capabilities.
By then, we might not be able to return to the War Academy for several months. If the basic supplies prepared by the Divine Realm are not enough, we will be in dire straits.
Your instructor won't let you run back to the War College for replenishment, you can only figure it out on your own.
Or you can spend money to find other apprentices to buy it, but you are all competitors, so do you think they will sell it to you?
Or leave the safe mentor's domain and enter the plane fragments to search for resources yourself.
This requires taking great risks, at least for apprentices.
Therefore, before the instructor is ready, a large amount of daily necessities and other preparations must be reserved.
Fortunately, he had obtained 1.5 million in funds from the previous assessment, otherwise he would have had the tens of thousands of dollars gone except for buying some food.
First, a chamber of commerce spent 200,000 yuan on the academy platform to order a total of 40,000 kilograms of rice, plus its own 20,000 kilograms, a total of 60,000 kilograms. Assuming that a dependent consumes a maximum of one kilogram per day, this is enough to feed 300 civilians and troops for about 200 days.
In addition, an additional 1,000 kilograms of meat was purchased, spending about 30,000 yuan.
It cost about 50,000 yuan to buy 5,000 kilograms of vegetables, fruits and melons.
Then he bought 1,000 wooden blocks at 220 yuan per block, spending a total of 220,000 yuan.
We bought 1,000 cubic meters of stone at 250 yuan per cubic meter, spending a total of 250,000 yuan.
The price of crude iron was 5,000 yuan per cubic meter. 50 cubic meters were purchased, which cost 250,000 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that the specifications of crude iron are the same as those of stone, and one square is also a cube with a length, width and height of one meter.
Crude iron is smelted directly from iron ore and contains a lot of impurities, so it needs to be refined again.
In fact, there is refined iron without impurities on the market, and even various high-quality steels and high-carbon steels, but the prices are too expensive.
It would be more cost-effective to buy crude iron directly and refine it yourself.
The space in Li Qing's palm can decompose matter and extract essence, which is enough for the blacksmith to refine this batch of crude iron into fine iron.
After buying these supplies, Li Qing bought a total of 100 male farmers in the market, all of which were of white-name quality, spending a total of 100,000.
A set of blacksmith equipment costs 150,000 yuan, including a bellows, a blacksmith furnace, a large iron block, a small iron block, two small hammers, two large hammers, two pliers, and a large grinding stone.
Including a professional blacksmith with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, the recruitment fee was two months' salary, totaling 40,000 yuan.
40 Imperial Infantry Promotion Cards, costing 80,000.
40 Imperial Archer Promotion Cards cost 80,000.
When I finally paid the bill, I spent a total of 1.45 million, but only 138,000 was left after paying the bill.
Prepare these and you're basically done. You can make the other miscellaneous stuff yourself.
For example, various farm tools, digging tools, knives and axes, iron pots, etc. can be forged by the blacksmith shop.
“It’s really like spending money like water!”
The 1.5 million was used up before it even warmed up to the sky. Without this 1.5 million in income, the start would have been very difficult.
Two days later, Li Qing received a message from his senior Pan Yuan, asking him to prepare to take the qualification test.
Arriving at the 16th floor of Blackrock Tower again, the instructor, Senior Pan Yuan, was already here. When Li Qing arrived, he happened to see him talking to another classmate with a smile on his face.
Seeing him coming and waving, Li Qing came over just as the apprentice finished speaking.
Pan Yuan said to Li Qing:
"Wait a little longer. There is another person coming over during this time period to be tested together."
Just as he finished speaking, a crisp sound came from behind him. Li Qing turned around and saw a figure just teleporting over.
