"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"How many times has this happened?"
Najib lowered his head and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. When running around outside in the summer, sweating is normal, but cold sweats are not. Opposite him, Lin smiled helplessly.
Since this spring, the arrival of the goods purchased from the Chamber of Commerce has been delayed again and again. It is completely unlike the city with the most prosperous business in the Southwest Peninsula. Each time, Najib always used the excuse of mobilizing goods while apologizing and promising not to do it again next time. But the actual situation is that none of the goods arrive in time.
To maintain a school organization with nearly two hundred people, purchasing fresh food every day is indispensable. There are also various incense, ointments, etc. used in the magic meditation room. Even the most basic meditation room consumes a lot of money every day. Of course, there are also various materials needed to teach magic.
In the previous year, it would have been easy to muster these things. Basically you have the money, you ask for it and you see something the next day, but that's not the case these days. If you are buying something weird and weird, it is understandable that it will take some time to find and adjust the goods. But what Lin ordered were basic and conventional goods for a city of magicians.
In order to cope with this situation, Lin changed his approach and always hurriedly negotiated the purchase with people from the chamber of commerce before there was still a certain amount of items. To put it simply, increase inventory to cope.
It's just that this approach hasn't changed for a long time. The delay of the goods from the Chamber of Commerce seems to have been seen through the inventory of the college warehouse. It always arrives according to the time line, and even the skylight is opened a few times.
Looking at the restaurant, the children could only use bread to dip into the 'vegetable soup' with only a few leaves. The chefs in charge showed guilty expressions, but it was not their fault. Someone has heard this proverb, but never thought that one day they would face such a situation.
If we were in the old days when one person was full and the whole family was full, and there was really no food at home and we were too lazy to go out to buy it, it was not uncommon for us to go hungry for a meal or two. Anyway, the fat on my belly was still very thick at that time, so I treated it as a weight loss.
But now there were nearly two hundred mouths to feed, and Lin had no shame in saying that a hungry meal would not kill anyone. Besides, even if those children didn't dare to accuse them face to face, the magicians who worked with them were not so polite. Even if you don't point your finger at someone, you are still making sarcastic remarks.
However, a certain great magician was very self-aware and sensed that something was wrong early on. He took his students to Wulian City to have a good time and have a good time, instead of staying in the academy to starve.
Knowing that someone was secretly causing trouble, Lin wanted to find other partners, only to realize that he had shot himself in the foot. That big stone is the abnormality of the mall system.
In a land with primitive transportation systems and backward production technology, the convenience of buying and selling made merchants realize one thing. Controlling the source of goods is more important than the question of where the customers are. Not to mention some special and rare items, all kinds of bulk goods necessary for people's livelihood can be sold in the mall, a place that connects everyone in the Southwest Peninsula.
In the past, it was like a gamble for merchants to decide where to transport goods or not. If it happens to be a supply that is in short supply locally, of course you can make a lot of money; if no one is interested in it, you may even lose your fortune.
But now that the goods are moving, someone must have placed an order. There is less risk of relying on various gossips and gambling on wealth. Instead, where does the stuff for sale come from? In the early stages, there is often a dilemma of having orders but nothing to sell. Therefore, the chamber of commerce stewards traveled all over the place. In addition to connecting with guests on the way, they mainly purchased items from various places.
As long as it's not an evil item, there's nothing that can't be sold if it's put up in the mall. This also formed a considerable magnetic attraction effect, which almost wiped out all the goods produced in Xijia District.
What kind of business is the most profitable? Anyone who has read economics or not will definitely agree that monopoly is better than oligopoly, and oligopoly is better than market competition. No matter what business you are doing, as long as there is no competition and you firmly control the pricing power, it is a profitable business.
The convenience of the mall system is beyond the times and can easily defeat other competitors. If it weren't for the problem of transportation capacity, or as long as there is a talent who understands scheduling and logistics, it would not be a problem for the Xijia District Chamber of Commerce to unify the Southwest Peninsula, or even the entire Lost World.
But for consumers, the news is not so good at some point. When faced with the current dilemma of a store bullying customers, Lin wanted to find other sources of goods but couldn't find any! Even those small businesses that are not included in the mall system are simply not enough to meet the demand of the college.
Besides, on the first day we meet, we can still receive warm hospitality from the other party, but from the second day onwards, we are as fearful as snakes and scorpions. It is normal for us to be rejected by others, or to be invited out as if we are sending a plague upon us. Jean Lin wanted to contact many small businessmen to support the college's consumption, but this idea was already ruined before it even started.
Through this year, I learned from the Great Magician Greenwin, who was often sent outside the Five United Cities, that within the Chamber of Commerce, the president's group of people were mainly responsible for this matter. Others, even if they did not add fuel to the flames, chose to stand by and watch. And he was alone, a thug, so he really couldn't be of much help in this regard.
After being unsatisfied during the day, at night, at home in his own community, Lin entered his dreamland after regularly recording the astrology, and buried his head in the magic circle arranged on the second floor.
"Hey, it appears again." The avatar of Fat Mansion looked at the original version that he had just entered and said, "You appear very often these days. Your life is unsatisfactory. Are you so depressed that you want to die?"
"Don't worry, I will strangle you first and then commit suicide."
The above are just greetings. When two people meet and start working without saying a word, it's not a fat house's habit. However, the two of them have maintained restraint, limiting their greetings to just one sentence and not complaining to each other endlessly.
The second floor of the Dreamland Magic Tower has not yet been completely topped off. During this period, in addition to the nightmare creatures that accidentally broke in, Lin himself also contributed a lot of bricks. Therefore, even if the second floor of the magic tower has not yet been capped, it is enough to set up a preliminary magic circle.
The first floor of the Dream Tower is engraved with the magic array program used to lay out the star map, and also includes a simulation part. Although the program for simulating the starry sky and searching for the Earth is no longer running, it is still indispensable to maintain the starry sky in the dream and switch between the Lost Land and the Earth at any time.
On this basis, Lin was really troubled for a while as to what kind of magic circle to arrange on the second floor. In the end, like a ghost, I decided on a theme for the layout of the second floor - distance.
Starting from the distance measurement and calculation with line of sight, the distance between two known points on the earth's surface, then the distance calculation taking into account the arc of the earth's surface; then the distance between the mysterious land and the two satellites, accurate to meters; and finally the celestial body distance calculation.
Methods include angle of view measurement, sight distance measurement, and various measurement methods in astronomy. In terms of astronomical measurements, since space telescopes cannot be deployed, all observations can only be made within the atmosphere. Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to observe the effects of the atmosphere on the refraction and diffraction of light in order to calculate accurate parameters.
At the same time, Lin also considered a project that he had not dared to touch before, which was to change the observation method from visible light to radio telescope. In this way, the shortcomings caused by surface observation can be eliminated to the greatest extent. But there are too many non-undergraduate technical things that need to be established first. Just thinking about it, I feel that it is a great undertaking that will take a lifetime to complete.
The ultimate goal of all these is to calculate the accurate distance between the Lost Land and the Earth. Although even if he got this number, rather than a very general number of millions of light years, Lin wouldn't be able to walk back to Earth step by step. Speaking of which, this is just a way to comfort yourself during this period of confusion.
However, although most of my thoughts are mainly on the second floor of the Dream Magic Tower and calculating distances, I am still analyzing the magic of another system, that is, the magic of teleportation.
Considering that it is impossible to build a spaceship or any substitute, teleportation is the only option at this stage. But if you want to use teleportation, you can't avoid facing all the arguments you made before by yourself.
Therefore, the first step of Lin's research is to dismantle these magics; and then to decipher the mystery of the magic words in every sentence and line.
Unfortunately, to fully understand these issues, there is a lot of additional knowledge that needs to be understood. So someone spent time and worked hard to check the relevant data.
In short, the whole feeling in the dream is like going back to the time when I was studying for a doctorate.
Since he had to worry about the affairs of the college during the day, and when he got home at night, he would worry about all the things in his dreams, it was inevitable that he would neglect other people.
The two apprentices have been attached to their sister for a long time. They know exactly what their teacher is like. Therefore, Halumi and Kaya were mentally prepared for someone who was so enthusiastic that he threw himself into his own affairs and didn't care about the outside world.
But for a certain lich, it's not the same thing. As if in protest, Fen's performance at the noble gatherings became more and more skillful every week. Especially after the elf, Liena Titov, left, Fen became more like a fish in water, attracting the attention of all the nobles in the Five United City.
If it had been in the past, I am afraid that this group of noble-born people would have surrounded a rare beauty in this world three times inside and three times outside, and showed their enthusiasm. But the king who has not returned to his country for a long time has blocked everyone out and made it difficult to get close.
If the beauty had shown a hint of displeasure or hinted that others could help, the nobles would have stepped in to save the beauty, regardless of whether the opponent was a king or not. It's a pity that Finn behaved like a very happy conversation with Steiner III, and his actions during the conversation became more and more intimate.
In the end, that night, the man did not come back.
