For Mark Kovac, although he couldn't understand the choices of other presidents, he didn't understand their anxiety.
In the eyes of ordinary users, the value of the forum lies in the knowledge and information accumulated by Southwest Peninsula over the years. Just the free disclosure part is not something that ordinary people can learn in a lifetime.
But from someone’s perspective, that pile of stuff is like a maze of things that no one knows how to sort out and summarize, so everyone just provides their own experiences, and a large part of it is repetitive or similar. of. This is also the reason why someone is too lazy to gain knowledge from the current forums, there are too many and too confusing.
When people's vision reaches a certain level or above, what values the forum is its ability to circulate information. In the past, to obtain information about a certain place, after sending people to investigate, the most basic thing was that the dispatched personnel would turn back and report back. To speed up, you can ride a horse or even a flying monster like a griffon.
Flying pigeons and other such things are not feasible in the Lost Land. The sky in the Lost Land is too dangerous. Migratory birds that can migrate long distances basically arrive at their destination with only one out of ten. So in the Lost Land, those birds are very capable of laying dozens of eggs in a clutch. It's hard to imagine how those small bodies can lay so many eggs.
A more advanced way of transmitting messages is, of course, using magic. However, it requires the sender and receiver to have certain magical attainments, or else use very expensive one-time magic props.
The forum can be said to have broken the restrictions of the first two in one fell swoop, and the minimum price is just a red magic stone. Such a price is not unaffordable for people with a little wealth in Midland. Not to mention a browser magic stone, as long as you don't look at some pages with many pictures, you can theoretically use it without restrictions.
The rapid circulation of information can bring many benefits. There are countless gratifying examples of this, whether in the Southwest Peninsula or the Basque Country. Therefore, not only the presidents of the Magician Association, but also the Mercenary Guild, the Adventurer Guild, and even some nobles and royal families have very high expectations for the forum.
But there is a prerequisite for all this, and that is that it is popular enough. The southwest peninsula itself is facing the problem of insufficient transportation capacity, and there is no room for export sales. Although the Magician Association is in the traditional southwest region of Midland, the Bacchus District branch headquarters continues to output browser magic stones, and President Evers of Hillside City is laughing from ear to ear because of this, but that amount is not important to the entire It is still a drop in the bucket for fans.
Not only was the profit that should have been earned not earned, but the intelligence was lagging behind, and there was even a sense of crisis of falling behind others, which made these people in power feel anxious. The inner desire is getting stronger and stronger, so some people choose less bright methods. Lin, the creator, was unlucky because of this.
In fact, if this whole thing were told to Lin, he would laugh at these people severely and seek death without realizing it. Let alone the loopholes left by someone in the source code of the forum. When intelligence spreads without restriction, and truth and falsehood circulate everywhere, it will definitely become a nightmare for those in power. Poor people are happily eating sugar-coated poison and trying to promote it in the hope that the poison will spread all over the world.
But someone doesn't know the anxiety of those big shots. Even if he knew it, he was not in his position and had no political agenda, so it was not his turn to worry about those troubles. He smiled heartily and said, "I have an immature idea about this matter. Please listen to it, Chairman."
Mark Kovac seemed not surprised by this development. No matter what happens, as long as a person encounters it, he will bargain for it. So he nodded and said, "Please tell me."
"I don't know if the president is clear about the Charlie Richard Mage Foundation that I established in Xijia District, and the Chengguo Eton College that I once established."
"I've heard a little bit." Mark Kovac nodded. At such a moment, Mark had a vague idea as to what the magician's intention was when he mentioned the two big things he had done. From the height of the president, I have to say that those two things were done beautifully. So he wants to...?
"It's probably best to be clear. The details are not important. As far as I know, there are ways to communicate with each other among the various branches of the Magician Association. I hope that through the channel of the president, a message can be passed to all branches. message."
"What's the message? Please tell me." In fact, Mark Kovacs had already guessed the content, but he still couldn't believe that this man had the courage to give up such a large amount of money.
"I agree to all branches under the Magician Association to copy and sell the magic knowledge that I turned over. The profit I deserve and the price of the magic knowledge are based on the agreement I made with the association when I was in Xijia District. And that profit , it will be transferred to the Charlie Richard Richard Magician Fund. The name and purpose of the fund are also in accordance with the articles of association I submitted when I was in Xijia District and cannot be changed. However, the manager's part is entrusted to each district branch under the association. . If there is enough money in the fund, please establish an academy to teach magic and all kinds of knowledge. However, I will not limit the name and methods of the academy, and leave it to the fund managers in each place to decide."
Mark Kovacs immediately understood the intention of the magician in front of him. This move not only lifted the ban on the sale of browser magic stones in all branches of the Magicians Association, but also the association's position of respecting knowledge creators has not been shaken, or set a bad precedent.
Although the purpose of the established fund is restricted, it is still in the hands of the 'manager' designated by each district chapter. It is impossible for this magician to run around the world just to check accounts. So it is conceivable that there must be a lot of tricks in this.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's right in front of you. During his stay in Xijia District, Lin lived in Wulian City. Those who dared to cause trouble should do so boldly, no matter who they were. This is a bloody experience.
Secondly, is the limited use of that fund a bad thing? Provide funds for magicians or apprentices to do the monotonous work of spreading magical knowledge. I hope to find more talented people suitable for learning magic from the increased group.
Not only does this help those who are not good at fighting, but the newly added groups are groups that were previously very difficult to access magic. At the same time, it provides this group of people with the opportunity to climb up in the world of magicians.
This is something that many aspiring magicians wanted to do in the past, but due to various difficulties, they were not able to accomplish it or even proceed. Now you can get it at your fingertips, and the price is just to give the greatest glory to a dead 'great magician' in the wilderness.
It is said that the title of that person was given posthumously. All I can say is that that one turned out a good student.
Perhaps Mark Kovacs is not as focused on posthumous reputation as Chengguo Eaton, the former president of the Sijia District Chapter. But as long as we are human, how many people will not be tempted when faced with this kind of opportunity to become famous.
Thinking of this, the great magician who felt that he belonged to the old school of researchers had to agree that the suggestions and methods given by this young man were more thoughtful and courageous than he had imagined. Besides, even if you have thought of those words and ideas, they are not what you can or should say.
Now that the other party had such an awareness, Mark Kovacs of course studied the details in depth, and finally put all the agreements on paper and finalized them in black and white.
For Lin, although all this was a concession in exchange for survival, in fact, he had carefully considered it.
First of all, we must change the concept of traveling from the earth. The first thing to overturn is the saying 'Money is not everything, but without money nothing is impossible'. The first half of the sentence is equally applicable to Lost Land, but the second half is not.
The main focus of most transactions in Lost Land is barter. Coins are just an intermediary, not a designated currency that must be used. And there are no banks in this world, so there is no such thing as a deposit account. You have to find a way to take all your property with you, and no one will help you keep it.
This was also the only amount of money Lin and his three masters and disciples took away with them when they fled Wulian City, which was only 20% of their total net worth. Take all the good money away, and then take away some good money, and there is really nothing you can do about the remaining coins. If we take them all away, it doesn't matter whether the mule can drag the cart full of money. At that time, there was not much space in the small truck to put a cash box.
As for someone opening a bank or something by himself, that is completely ignored. In the beginning, banks were not charitable organizations. To use more familiar language, that's a loan shark. Moreover, opening a bank requires not only time but also strength. Not only is there the possibility of a bank run crisis, but there are also all kinds of troubles that have to be dealt with. People who are lazy and have cancer have to stay away.
Another reason why someone doesn't think the money in Lost Land is important is the Wurm that contributed most of its body. A king-level monster has benefits that no one can imagine. So much so that I originally planned to pay for the required materials out of my own pocket, but now I just need to bring the items back one by one.
What does it mean?
From one person's point of view, this is telling others that when they are short of money, just go out for a walk and hunt some rare animals and come back. It is so easy to make money, of course, the prerequisite is that you have enough strength.
This really corresponds to the saying: What is the easiest way to make money? It’s too slow to make money with money. If you want to go faster, of course you have to grab it.
So I gave up using the 'forum' to make money. In addition to thinking about my own life, the most important thing is that too much money will really bite people. Money is enough for daily life. After reaching a certain level, what you want to do depends on beating the level with your fists, rather than using gold coins to clear the way.
