Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 325 Money
Under Lin Qianxing's guidance, Du Ji took out the paper and started writing with doubt.
However, the pen he used was not Lin Qianxing's, but his own brush with a slightly loose tip and an old body.
This is something Duggie made himself. Although the quality is not high due to the material problem, Duggie has always maintained it well, so he has used it for such a long time without breaking it.
As Duggie wrote, some pretty nice words were left on the paper.
Lin Qianxing didn't recognize all of these characters. Although he had some images of obtaining corresponding information from the memories of his previous life, there were not many about literacy.
So even though Lin Qianxing knows some knowledge about literature and music theory from other worlds, it might be a bit difficult to ask him to create something at this stage.
In other words, even if it is created, it may not be recognized by the world?
As Du Ji wrote, Lin Qianxing vaguely felt a special fluctuation of rules appearing around him.
After copying several poems and music scores, the fluctuations of rules suddenly solidified.
A mysterious light appeared from the void and descended upon Du Ji.
The next moment, Du Ji's aura changed.
In the process of creating these works, he has accumulated enough wisdom, completed the corresponding rituals, and gained recognition, so he received feedback and officially became a first-level [student].
That power was directly loaded into his body in the form of some special rules, and he also mastered a first-order lower-level Taoist skill [Photographic Memory].
[Photographic Memory [Level 1 Lower]: You will not easily forget the knowledge you have seen.]
This is one of the most basic Taoist skills for the Taoist profession [Student], but it is also the most useful.
"Success!" Du Ji said with an excited smile.
Lin Qianxing, who was watching the entire process, suddenly had an idea and called out his own panel.
Name: Pen Lao
Age: 0.5 years
Level: None
Taoist position: [Student (unemployed 35/100)]
Body: 1
Soul: 1.1
Luck: 1
【A spiritual brush that is becoming a student’s spiritual brush. 】
When Duggie was writing those things, he was actually able to get feedback, and it accounted for the majority of it.
Is it because this knowledge is a joint creation that he also accumulates wisdom?
"Congratulations." Lin Qianxing said.
"Mr. Bi, thank you. Now I can become a formal student of the academy." Du Ji said with a smile.
Once you become a formal student, you can receive study subsidies from the academy.
A full one hundred silver coins.
You know, one silver coin is enough to support a normal family of three to live without worries about food and drink for more than a month.
You can imagine how high this subsidy is.
Naturally, it is easy to redeem Wen He.
After packing up, Du Ji put Lin Qianxing into the pencil case and took Lin Qianxing to the registration office for formal students of Kanghua Academy.
Although inside the pen case, Lin Qianxing's spirit could still see the situation outside, but not too far. If it was more than five meters, he could not see.
Kanghua Academy is very large, and there are some students on the road who are in a hurry, and their methods are also different.
Some rode on fine horses or exotic beasts, while others had special mechanical devices beneath their bodies.
From this we can see that the technology tree of this world does not seem to be low.
At least at the upper levels.
However, it seems that it relies too much on monks with Taoist positions, so its popularity is a problem.
After walking for about quarter of an hour, Duggie finally arrived at the registration location.
Here, there is only an exquisite wooden house decorated with some flowers and plants, which looks a bit unique, and an old man wearing a gray short shirt who is carving something.
After Du Ji arrived, the old man still did not stop carving, and Du Ji did not disturb him, but watched quietly from the side.
The old man had great skills. He only needed a carving knife to complete all the carving details. Soon, a lifelike wooden bird was carved out by him.
Then he did something that surprised Lin Qianxing a little.
He casually threw the wooden bird into the air, and then the bird actually flew up, circled around and returned to his palm.
"What kind of Taoist position does this old man hold to have such ability?" Lin Qianxing asked Du Ji.
"Mr. Zhang is the former president of the Tiangong Academy in the academy. He has a Taoist position of [Master Sculptor] at the peak of the third rank. This is his Taoist skill of [Carving the Fake into the Real], which can make the carved objects temporarily possess spirituality and move like real creations." Du Ji explained to Lin Qianxing in his mind through his spirit.
The old man looked at the wooden bird for a while, then shook his head slightly, put it aside, looked at Du Ji and said, "Sorry, I was carving just now and ignored you."
"Of course, it is my honor to see Mr. Zhang demonstrate his skills. I have gained a lot." Du Ji saluted.
"You are a student who has just obtained the Taoist position, right?" Zhang Jin's eyes flashed with inspiration, and then he said affirmatively.
"Yes." Du Ji nodded, showing his identity card of a student in the academy and said, "This is my student ID card."
After taking a look to determine its authenticity, Zhang Jin nodded and said, "Come with me and fill out your school contract."
As Zhang Jin spoke, he turned around and walked into his cabin. He then found a form that had been printed long ago and handed it to Du Ji, and also handed him a hard pen.
The above information is not complicated, just address and family composition, and one of them is the purpose of joining Kanghua Academy.
The rules and regulations are written very clearly. To put it simply, after joining the academy, you will receive a study subsidy from the academy to provide you with basic living needs and some study assistance, but you will then have to stay in the academy for ten years. During this period, if the academy needs you, you cannot refuse at will .
Of course, it’s not in vain, you will be paid accordingly, and it’s basically not too tiring. If you don’t feel comfortable or don’t want to do it, you can even refuse directly.
A maximum of five assigned labor services may be refused each month.
If the violation of the academy's arrangements is not serious, the only penalty is a fine.
If you want to leave before your school contract expires, it is not impossible. The school agrees or you pay the corresponding penalty. There is no intention of forcing you to stay.
In general, there is nothing mandatory and the benefits far outweigh the restrictions.
From this point, Lin Qianxing could see that the Kanghua Academy, as an organization, seemed to be very preferential to its students.
In other words, this world is very favorable to monks with Taoist positions?
Soon, Duggie finished writing his basic information and his name.
The moment he finished writing, the contract disappeared into the void.
At the same time, an invisible restriction was placed on Duggie.
Once he wants to violate the contract, he must bear the consequences of violating the contract.
Unless he has enough strength or corresponding ability to forcibly terminate this contract.
"Okay, this is your new student ID, keep it." Zhang Jin handed Du Ji a jade plaque inlaid with gold and a newly carved name, and said, "You need to go to the Business School in person with your student ID to collect your study allowance. You need to go to the labor hall on the first day of the new year to check the labor assigned to you every month. If there is an emergency, you need to apply to the academy for labor exemption in time..."
Although Du Ji was already very clear about these things, he still listened to Zhang Jin's story very carefully.
Soon, Zhang Jin finished what he needed to say, Du Ji thanked him, and then said goodbye and left.
After leaving the student registration place, Zhang Jin went directly to the School of Business and Economics.
Compared with other places in the academy, one word stands out here.
That's rich.
The atmosphere here is full of money. Whether it is the students, buildings or furnishings, they all seem extremely "expensive".
"The students in the School of Business and Economics are either rich or noble. Many of them are descendants of powerful people in Dazhi. Most of them have their own industries and are good at adorning themselves with money. The study subsidies in the academy are now sponsored by the School of Business and Economics. It is said that before the School of Business and Economics was opened, the study subsidies in the academy were only five silver coins." Du Ji explained to Lin Qianxing.
As he spoke, he also used his student ID to receive the study subsidy.
There were a total of one hundred pieces of pure silver, all reflecting a little shining silver light. After being counted, they were all placed in a fragrant black purse with a golden "Shang" word embroidered on the outside.
When Duggie took it, he shook it slightly, and it made a jingling sound, which made his expression change several times in succession.
In fact, the School of Business and Economics also has banknotes, but it seems that they feel that banknotes are not impressive enough, so when students of the academy receive subsidies, they can only get coins.
This has indeed brought a huge psychological shock to many students.
Therefore, in recent years, there are quite a few students who have entered the School of Business and Economics to study.
"Vulgar." Lin Qianxing said disdainfully.
He doesn't care about money.
Anyway, no matter how rich others are, they are not as rich as him.
"Mr. Bi, you are an extraordinary being and naturally don't care about these mundane things. But for people like us, it would be very difficult to live in this world without these mundane things." Du Ji said with emotion.
Because she had no money, when her mother was seriously ill, Wen He had no choice but to sell herself to buy a chance of survival for her. The clinic would save a bad person, but would never save a poor person.
Because he had no money, his childhood sweetheart was sold to Chunxiang Pavilion and he could only watch without any way to do anything.
Because he had no money, he was unable to raise enough tuition to study at the academy, so he entered the academy several years later, which was several steps behind.
…
Duggie hates money most of the time, but he also desires it very much.
Most of his powerlessness comes from it.
But now, his suffering has paid off.
Now he is a formal student of the academy and holds a Taoist position.
I won’t talk about more in the future, but it is enough to guarantee a life without worries about food and clothing.
In addition, he was finally able to redeem Wen He.
