Usually when the repairman is concentrating on repairing the cards, it is the most relaxing moment for the apprentice.
Duke was going to walk around the store and think of ways to make money.
Bobby and Thomas, the two apprentices at the work station next to them, also followed the card repairman to concentrate on repairing the cards, quietly hid in the corner, and began to share their candies with each other.
Duke isn't that boring.
He looked around Little Sam's card repair shop. Over the counter was the regular worker Bob. There were four repair stations in the repair area, one for each of the three card repairmen, and there was also a spare No. 4 worker.
Bits are generally used by the boss himself.
But the boss didn't come today, he went to the city's waste card station to buy some goods.
"How to make money?"
He frowned, a little helpless.
As a time traveler, I naturally have a lot of knowledge about the earth in my mind, but when I actually use it, I find that it is of no use. Iron making, brick burning, and distilled liquor are basic in this world, and products such as soap, glass, and perfume are also not uncommon.
, As for computers, mobile phones and other high technologies, they don’t exist, but Duke can’t build them either.
He looked out the warehouse window.
Beyond the low-rise bungalow area, you can see tall chimneys in the distance, emitting billowing black smoke. Unknown birds surround the black smoke, swooping down from time to time to eat at the spirituality rising in it.
If a wild beast wants to evolve into a spiritual beast, it must prey on a large amount of spiritual beings.
"That's the Black Snake Spirit Gold Smelting Plant. It's an industry owned by the Black Snake family. It extracts spiritual metals from ordinary iron ore... It's really polluting." Duke looked at it from the perspective of an earthling. This factory was simply terrible.
It is worse than the poison gas manufacturing plant, but the entire Sheshou Town is the fiefdom of the Black Snake family, and no one dares to take care of it no matter how serious the pollution is.
In other words, no one cares.
The Seven Towers Federation has no concept of environmental protection. The current mainstream thinking is to develop psychic industry, expand human power, and continuously expand into the wild jungle.
"Psychic energy... spirituality... the supernatural world!"
With a hint of eagerness in his eyes, Duke got through the initial panic of traveling through the journey, and now he began to long for the magnificent scenery he had never seen before in this extraordinary world.
certainly.
If he wants to appreciate the extraordinary, he must open the spiritual sea, otherwise he can only live as an ordinary person at the bottom of society.
"There don't seem to be any good inventions that can make money quickly... Well, gunpowder!" A flash of inspiration flashed in Duke's mind, and he came up with a good idea, "The Seven Towers Federation is an alliance of arcane mages, and arcane mages represent the world.
The extraordinary power system-spiritual arcana, therefore, black gunpowder was not born."
People living here believe that the earth beneath their feet has unparalleled spirituality.
It is this kind of spirituality that gives all things living in the wild continent a powerful and extraordinary power, and builds a set of "spiritual arcana" power system.
Collect spiritual energy and refine it into spiritual energy.
It is this kind of spiritual energy that is more miraculous than electrical energy that has triggered a huge industrial boom.
"A powerful arcane mage can destroy the world, so black gunpowder is certainly far less valuable than on earth, but black gunpowder is still of great use. I can try to see if I can prepare black gunpowder in the extraordinary world!"
He recalled in his mind that the proportion of black gunpowder seemed to be mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal.
After staying up until lunch, he hurriedly finished his lunch and walked quickly to another street, then turned into a wide alley. There were shops selling all kinds of materials, ranging from spiritual materials to ordinary materials.
Ask around.
Duke frowned deeply: "Saltpeter, a material that can grow in toilets, is actually priced at 1 silver dragon per pound, and sulfur is even 30 copper dragons per gram. It's faster than grabbing money!"
If you want to prepare black powder, you don't know how many times you have to experiment.
With enough materials for multiple experiments, the value has long exceeded the 23 Silver Dragon Awakening Potion: "With this money, I would have bought the Awakening Potion... By the way, why don't I go to the toilet and scrape saltpeter?"
When his plan failed, Duke devised another plan.
One kilogram of saltpeter can be sold for 1 silver dragon. He can save money by scraping saltpeter. Although it is a bit of a hassle to scrape saltpeter in the toilet, the money will obviously come in faster than that of an apprentice.
However, after Duke went to several restrooms with sewage flowing in succession, he quickly returned to Little Sam's Repair Shop with a disappointed look on his face.
Those toilets were dirty enough, but there was no hoarfrost-like saltpeter at the base of the walls as expected, only various yellowing urine and feces stains, which made people feel sick to their stomachs.
"Why no saltpeter?"
"Did someone scrape it away? It shouldn't be. There are no scratches on the wall... Is it because the toilets in Sheshou Town are made of stones instead of earth?"
In his memory, the earthen latrines in the countryside would contain saltpeter.
Maybe something in the soil reacted with the urine to form saltpeter. After replacing it with stones, it couldn't react, so saltpeter couldn't grow.
In short.
The idea of making money by scraping toilet saltpeter was shattered.
I stayed up until I got off work at night, but I couldn't think of a good way to make money. When I got home, I cooked white rice and steamed sausages. I was short of money and had only this little food at home.
The light of the spirit storage card inserted into the card machine interface of the spirit rice cooker has dimmed.
"If I can't get any more money, I'm afraid I won't even be able to use my spiritual power." Duke sighed, and took out a spiritual card with a somewhat damaged cover from his arms, and was lost in thought.
This is his Spirit Dragon Card.
Equivalent to a bank card on earth, the dragon coins issued by the Seven Towers Federation are inconvenient to trade, so the arcane mages developed the spirit dragon card. You only need to swipe the spirit dragon card to buy and sell.
"The balance seems to be 57 bronze dragons, which is bleak!"
"However, this kind of spirit card is really magical." Duke put away his negative emotions and began to shift his attention to the spirit dragon card in his hand and the spirit storage card inserted on the spirit rice pot.
Both cards are spiritual cards.
The technical principle of spiritual cards is to seal spirituality in the form of energy circuits and then transfer it to a card to store it.
The spirit storage card stores a large amount of stable spiritual energy, and the spirit dragon card is directly connected to the bank. These magical spirit cards are just the simplest technology under the spiritual arcana system.
"This is the extraordinary power that I can touch. If I don't open the spiritual sea, this is probably the only extraordinary power that I can touch."
"The spiritual sea must be opened as soon as possible!"
Eat, wash dishes, no nightlife, sleep.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Duke fell asleep with great expectations for the future.
…
vaguely.
Duke felt himself drifting to a starry place.
There are many stars, infinitely vast, and the surroundings are dark, like the deep sea.
"Here it is, I'm back again!" Duke's thinking became clearer, and he already understood that he was in a dream. "Same as last night, I came to the spiritual sea through a dream again."
Look in the direction where the starlight is most intense.
The stars guard two dazzling light clusters like stars. When Duke leaps closer, you can see that one of the dazzling lights is shaped like a mobile phone, and the other is shaped like a pistol.
