Margaret scanned a few lines and her eyebrows suddenly trembled.
But Matthew wrote——
…
"Making money is never easy, the fastest way is always to make money make money.
My money is tight and I don't have that many gold coins.
But I have a lot of knowledge points, and I can use this to make a fuss.
I asked David and other alliance staff that the fair value of knowledge points to gold coins is about 1 point to 10,000 gold.
Direct exchange of knowledge points into gold coins is strictly prohibited within the alliance.
But I can monetize a large amount of knowledge points in at least the following three ways:
The first type is a mortgage loan.
The alliance clearly stipulates that knowledge points cannot be sold, but they can be used as collateral to borrow large amounts of funds from the alliance, major mage towers or senior mages.
According to David, knowledge points can lend a large amount of money, and the annual interest rate is usually around 6 points.
I can eat the interest rate difference by lending out a large amount of gold coins and lending them to others.
Of course, this method involves certain default risks and requires the development of a more rigorous execution strategy.
The second type is project cleaning.
Knowledge points cannot be directly converted into gold coins, but there are always some mages in the alliance who have more than enough gold coins but not enough points.
I can open a shell project and recruit these mages into the project. After the project is completed, I can give them part of my points by distributing project rewards.
They can also circulate sufficient gold coins into my hands through gifts or other means.
This method should be the safest.
If the shell project is against the rules, at worst I can start a real project, with a little extra effort at most.
The disadvantage of washing points through projects is that it cannot be implemented on a large scale and can only be done one vote at a time. Not only is the efficiency limited, if a large amount of points flow out in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause a lot of damage to the existing point gap.
Big impact.
At that time, the number of gold coins that can be exchanged for knowledge points from mages will definitely decline.
Of course, these are all things for later.
The third type is investment.
In a nutshell, use knowledge points to invest in certain spell projects and receive dividends and rewards in the form of gold coins.
Due to limited space, we will not elaborate further here.
——Matthew’s classwork”
…
"Is this how you make money?"
Margaret asked incredulously:
"This is obviously your way of making money!"
Matthew innocently replied:
"You didn't say you wanted a way for everyone to make money."
Margaret looked very angry.
The breasts that are so flat are so angry that they are filled with mountains.
But she quickly asked:
"Where did you get so many knowledge points?"
Matthew replied:
"The teacher gave it to me."
Margaret suddenly showed an envious look:
"Teacher You is so kind."
Matthew asked rhetorically:
"Didn't your teacher give it to you?"
Margaret sighed:
"I gave it, but I spent it very quickly. You know, I am a spell addict, and I have learned all the alliance's spell library."
"Sir Suriel is actually very generous, but 100 knowledge points are really not easy to spend."
Matthew's expression became subtle.
Margaret noticed this:
"Your knowledge points exceed 100? How many did your teacher give you? It can't be 200, right?"
She stared at Matthew impatiently.
In order to avoid irritating her further, it cannot be too far from the truth.
Matthew had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied:
"1000 points."
Margaret suddenly stopped talking.
She looked at Matthew with an ambiguous look, and after a moment, she leaned on Matthew's shoulders forcefully, and forcefully pulled open the shoulder straps of her silk top, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
"Are you still in need of a mistress?"
"How about taking care of me?"
Margaret worked very hard to play the charming role of Silk.
But when I think about this chest, this person is a ruthless character who can get into the asshole and fuck the enemy to death.
Matthew woke up immediately.
"Ms. Margaret, isn't this good? We are still in the classroom."
Margaret said with burning eyes:
"It's get out of class time now."
"Really, what do you think of my conditions? Since you have taken my class, I can give you a discount."
Matthew was so dizzy by her that he could only try to change the subject:
"Uh, why is she a mistress?"
Margaret took a half step back after hearing this. She looked at Matthew with interest:
"Mistresses are safer and it's a win-win situation. You provide money and I provide support, and the rights and responsibilities are very fair."
"It's not impossible if you want to get married, but domestic violence is not allowed under league regulations."
Matthew said strangely:
"Are you also afraid of domestic violence?"
Margaret nodded:
"certainly."
"I'm always afraid that I'll strike too hard."
Matthew was silent.
"Really don't think about it?"
She looked at Matthew longingly.
"Are you short of money?"
Matthew asked curiously.
Margaret nodded her little head vigorously:
"Short! Very lacking!"
"Remember what I told you, my path to legend was blocked by money? Because of an experiment, I owe a lot of debt to my teacher and my best friend."
"This experiment is related to whether I can be promoted to legend. There is still a slight funding gap. Even if you are not willing to support me, invest a little. If I succeed, you can gain the friendship of a legendary mage.
!”
Matthew asked:
"What experiment?"
"About the development of "True Alchemy"!"
Margaret introduced with shining eyes:
"You already know the Fei Capital series of spells, and you also know that my signature is true transformation. This experiment combines these two fields. I want to turn ordinary substances into gold, so as to maintain Fei Capital.
Huge consumption of capital series spells!”
It does sound promising.
If Matthew had some spare money, he might actually have a soft heart and agree to invest after Margaret's repeated requests.
However, he is really a poor man now.
finally.
He could only look at Margaret with helpless eyes, and then explained seriously:
"Sorry, I'm just a young mage who just joined the alliance. I really don't have any gold coins."
"As for the knowledge points, they were all given by my teacher. I'm not sure if these knowledge points have limited uses. At present, my way of making money is only on paper and has not been converted into actual gold coins."
Margaret looked at him with wide eyes:
"So you admit that your homework was to fool me?"
"Do you want punishment?"
"Kneel down!"
Matthew rolled his eyes and said on the spur of the moment:
"But it's get out of class time now."
…
It was too early to leave the crucible house today. Matthew thought about it and decided to go to the Lord's Mansion to fish for a while.
Walking into the office lobby, as expected, Lorraine and Zeller were still arguing.
These two are very accomplished in negotiations. The two sides are going back and forth without giving in to each other. They have been talking for more than ten hours. It seems that it is still difficult to achieve any results in the short term.
Matthew and Rhaegar exchanged glances.
The latter said to Matthew:
"The news came from the Red Earth Mountain this morning. They want to form an alliance with us, and the negotiation location is set in the golden and fertile Damai City."
Matthew heard this and sneered:
"Isn't the Golden Fertile Field their territory?"
Rhaegar nodded:
"This is exactly the case, so in my reply to them, I strongly requested that the negotiation location be at the West Valley Farm, not far from the South Trading Post."
Matthew asked seriously:
"Are you planning to form an alliance with them?"
Rhaegar shook his head:
"Of course not. They obviously don't really want to form an alliance with us. This negotiation is just a mutual test."
Matthew thought:
"Do you need my help?"
Rhaegar joked:
"Isn't this too much trouble for you? I heard that being the illegitimate child of a big shot is not that easy, and the pressure is usually very high."
Matthew rolled his eyes at him.
At this time, Zeller and Lorraine stopped at the same time, and Mrs. Wesley handed them each a cup of tea. From the empty cups next to them, it was easy to see that they had been fighting for a long time early in the morning.
Matthew smiled and asked them:
"Is there any progress in the negotiations between you two?"
Zeller took a sip of ginger water and cleared his throat:
"Based on the premise of equal respect, we fully exchanged mutual opinions."
Matthew said with some regret:
"That means nothing has been agreed upon?"
Zeller also said helplessly:
"Your friends are asking for prices all over the place."
When Luo Lan heard this, he immediately raised his hands:
…
"I'm not asking for prices, all the prices were given to me personally by Alena.
This is her request. There are only two ways to achieve cooperation between the two parties.
One is to send out an army from Rolling Stone, which must be no less than thirty elite soldiers.
This elite team must rush to Deep Blue Port in the shortest possible time and stay there permanently in the future.
Aliena demands command of the force.
As a return gift.
She would marry Judy to Rhaegar.
A new trade route will also be opened between Deep Blue Port and Rolling Stone Town. She promised that if the caravans from Rolling Stone Town ship goods through the cargo terminal of Deep Blue Port, they can be exempted from all taxes and fees.
In addition, there are many preferential policies, which I can’t remember down, but those are just minutiae.
The second method of cooperation is that you directly send out a large army to put down the rebellion in Deep Blue Harbor for her, and at the same time resist the invasion of Lion City.
In return, she will marry Rhaegar and give half of the ownership and income rights of Deep Blue Harbor to Rhaegar.
At that time, Rolling Stone Town and Shenlan Port were integrated into each other and became a family.
But for Matthew's sake, I can give you more details.
Aliena is not only negotiating with Rolling Stone Town, she is also negotiating with another noble noble in the Azure Islands and the Lion City.
Rolling Stone Town is her favorite partner, but she doesn't plan to place all her hopes on you.
If you procrastinate any longer, I'm afraid she'll be in someone else's bed by now."
…
Zeller and Rhaegar looked at each other.
The latter said calmly:
"If that's the case, Rolling Stone Town will give a small gift to Lord Alena's wedding ceremony."
The meaning of this sentence could not be more obvious.
The cooperation method proposed by Ms. Alena was unacceptable to Rhaegar. After careful consideration over the past few days, he basically planned to reject the other party.
This is undoubtedly the right decision.
Matthew was very pleased.
Although Rhaegar seems unreliable at ordinary times, his mind is still very clear at critical moments.
Lorraine obviously understood.
He showed a relieved smile:
"In this case, I will let Judy play for two more days and then throw her back to Deep Blue Harbor."
"My mission is successfully completed!"
"Now, for Matthew's sake, we are a family - do you guys want a hug?"
Zeller was arranging documents by himself and said nothing.
Rhaegar silently raised the Alliance Weekly and read it attentively.
Only Matthew smiled at Lorraine.
However, the distance between the two people is relatively far, and it is not convenient to hug each other.
Loren didn't pay attention. He sat lazily on the sofa and comfortably put his legs on the table in front of Zeller.
The latter raised his eyebrows but remained silent.
"Any interesting news?"
Lorraine asked Rhaegar.
Rhaegar hated being disturbed while reading the newspaper, but out of politeness, he answered in a low voice:
"I just saw an interesting piece of news. A group of gnolls attacked the army camp in Lion City. The group of gnolls were old, weak, sick and disabled. They were vulnerable to a blow. Their number was less than twenty. As a result, they caused
The number of troops in the Lion City army was reduced, what do you think is going on?"
Luo Lan replied casually:
"My guess is that a soldier was drunk and mistook the gnoll for a bugbear. Then he forced himself on the base regardless of the opponent's wishes. In the end, he was bent over due to his violent drunken behavior, and was turned back by the shameful and angry gnoll.
killed."
Rhaegar frowned:
"How do you know? And it's exactly the same as the news content. I got it right. This is the Alliance Weekly that just arrived today."
As he said that, he even looked at the front page to confirm the date.
Luo Lan smiled:
"Any other news?"
Rega glanced at it for a while, then said in deep thought:
"There is some interesting fund-raising information. Specifically, there is a senior mage from the Seven Saints Alliance who is raising funds for her experimental project, with a goal of one hundred thousand gold coins.
The mage claimed that after the matter was completed, she would be willing to share the results of her magical research with investors.
Guess what she studies?"
Rhaegar didn't finish his sentence.
Lorraine answered fluently:
"That must be "True Alchemy"!"
"I also know some historical information about this mage. In her last round of experiments, she used real alchemy to successfully refine a pile of sand into gold worth one hundred thousand gold coins."
Real alchemy?
Isn’t that Margaret!?
Matthew asked with interest:
"Then isn't she very successful? Why does it seem like she lacks investment from what you describe?"
This time, before Roland could answer, Rhaegar had already dumped the burden first:
"Because her crappy experiment cost a total of one million gold coins!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Rhaegar looked overjoyed.
Luo Lan elegantly picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked again:
"Isn't there any other breaking news?"
Rhaegar frowned and glanced at the newspaper.
Half a minute later.
He said in surprise:
"Huh? My favorite author has a new work out!"
"You won't be able to guess the name of this work this time!"
Even so.
But he still looked at Lorraine nervously.
However, this time Luo Lan just drank tea by himself without saying a word.
Rhaegar breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a proud expression.
He said hello to Matthew, who curiously walked over and found such words on a large panel of the supplement.
…
""Rainforest Fever: The Indispensable Story Between Me and the Necromancer" is an early preview!
Author: Shenlan Gang No. 1 Affectionate.
A semi-autobiographical masterpiece!
Best booking of the year!
Produced by a veteran playwright!
One of the ten must-read books this summer!"
…
There are also many reviews from book reviewers below, all of which are full of praise. It feels like I spent a lot of money on this book.
Matthew felt his cheeks burning.
Rega glanced at the text and said with some surprise:
"Matthew, the protagonist of this work actually has the same name as you! What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Luo Lan couldn't help but stretch out on the sofa, with a hint of embarrassment in his smile:
"I didn't expect to meet readers who like me here. I can't say it's not a coincidence."
Rega looked at Lorraine, then looked down at the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly he understood everything.
next moment.
An emotion called disillusionment was born in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the office is a little awkward.
Rhaegar's eyes were completely gone from the newspaper.
He looked at Lorraine with a complex and twisted look.
Matthew coughed:
"So the content of Alliance Weekly is related to you?"
Lorraine said with certainty:
"I am one of the newspaper's senior writers and one of its key sources. Generally speaking, if the source in a report is "an unnamed authoritative source," that is basically me providing the information.
news."
"You know my ability. The grapevine is very useful for providing materials to the Alliance Weekly, and they are willing to pay a high price for these materials."
Matthew showed an envious expression.
Immediately.
He asked curiously:
"So can you now capture the gossip around Rolling Stone Town?"
Lorraine closed her eyes and concentrated.
His ears twitched slightly.
After a while.
He opened his eyes, snapped his fingers, and said in a half-singing way:
"Yes.
An unpopular gossip.
There was a frustrated Druid.
Turned into a little kitten.
He is playing with the white cat.
Little did he know that the white cat was the enemy.
She is a spy sent by the Blight Order.
She came with bad intentions.
Get close to the kitten.
Just to win the opportunity to occupy the oak forest..."
