The exchange students spent most of the month after arriving at Black Forest College adapting to a new worldview.
It has an ultra-convenient lifestyle, unexpected racial integration, a shockingly low crime rate, and a special cultural atmosphere brought about by universal education. They combine to form a humanistic environment with a unique temperament.
Everything is new and you are exposed to new things every day.
The exchange students' magic level is very high. In addition to auditing ordinary courses in the academy, they also work part-time as teaching assistants.
What they learn is the magical knowledge of the Fountain of Youth in the main world, and they cannot teach the main course, but a course called "Vision Development Course".
For a single student, this course has two classes every ten days. Depending on the situation, there will be two large lectures in one large classroom. At the school, this class has 42 classes every ten days. The lecturers are teachers and external teachers. There are visiting professors and elites from various industries. Most of the industry elites only have one or a few classes, and the overall fluctuation is relatively large.
The course that the exchange students take charge of in the "Vision Development Course" also has a subdivided title, "Magic Faction Related".
There are no mandatory requirements for the content. You can tell the origin story of your own magic sect, you can also give a rough introduction to theoretical knowledge and give a small amount of demonstrations, and it is no problem to make usage derivatives for a single spell.
This course is very popular. It is not only popular among students, but also serves as the basis for cooperation between many foreign mages and the academy. It is difficult for mages who have not reached the master level to find similar high-quality display platforms elsewhere.
Compared with local external professors, exchange students are not sufficiently prepared and cannot use real historical props and documents during lectures. They are often complained by students.
Regardless of the teaching method or atmosphere, there are many things that exchange students should record and take back.
Except for one thing, within a month, it was still difficult for everyone to accept the strange combination of mixed-race people in the penal colony.
Not to mention anything else, the mere difference in size and height is enough to cause fright at some random moments, especially for those big guys who are often 2.56 meters tall.
On this day, the exchange students came back from class, and people from the two colleges got together to have fun outside the school.
No one from the School of Life is interested in this kind of activity, at least no one has shown interest, but in order to "understand folk customs", they might as well join in the fun.
Speaking of which, students from the two colleges disliked each other. However, when they arrived at the exile place and were surrounded by acres of "green leaves", they suddenly felt close to each other.
They have gone to many fun places outside of school. In the past month, they have explored three cities: Yinghuo, Xincheng, and New Pettus.
But I won’t go out today, I’m going to have a dinner in the mountains.
The Dining Point is a newly opened small commercial area in the Central Lake area. It mainly provides services for the sudden southern cross-city expressway, including workers' accommodation, catering, etc.
The sacred tree confused the exchange students. It was completely different from the legendary World Tree, and nothing similar could be found.
The more they observed and heard, the greater the shock the sacred tree gave them.
At this point in time, they already knew that the sacred tree would form an unprecedented majestic city on the central lake.
Among the students, Carter had a unique vision. After discussing with the alumni, he gathered a group of people through the school's connections and cooperated with a group of New Petters people to open a comprehensive hotel in the South Bank Xinkai District.
The reason for finding people to cooperate is not that we don’t have enough money, but that everyone doesn’t understand many of the rules when they first come here, and they may make a lot of fools of themselves. It will be much better if there are local people to take care of them.
Sure enough, things were completely different from what they imagined from the beginning. All the buildings were grown directly on the lake platform, and the construction company was asked to make internal adjustments.
This sacred tree model is very fast and the purchase of equipment is also very convenient. In only ten days, their comprehensive hotel was ready for business.
The students are usually on campus, so the management is naturally handed over to the followers of the Fountain of Youth students, and the shareholders of New Pettus are the main ones, so that the followers can learn something.
They came here today to join in the excitement on the first day after their business opened.
Although the hotel is a comprehensive operation, its grade is not very high. It covers an area of about 400 square meters and has four floors. There are fifteen standard rooms and double rooms each, and eight suites. The first floor operates a restaurant, and part of the second floor operates chess and card games.
This mid-range hotel is actually the most luxurious one in Nanxinkai District, and most of them are smaller.
According to the follower, the reason is because the lake city has not yet truly begun to operate, and the people served at this stage are mainly workers from various engineering companies.
Those who come to Nanxinkai District to rest are relatively luxurious among workers, and many people sleep on the construction site there.
"Can we lower the price?"
The partner from New Pettus shook his head: "If you don't want to come, you won't come even if you lower the price. I want to save more money."
Students know that the average daily wage for workers in the Central Lake area is at least 3.5 yuan, which is the minimum requirement for participating in internal projects. If the investigation confirms that workers do not receive this amount, the entire project will be implicated.
The purchasing power of Phoenix coins is quite strong, and the daily salary of 3.5 yuan is enough to afford living in a standard room plus a standard package every day.
"So all the people checking in at our house today are truck drivers?" the girl asked.
Truck drivers are skilled workers, and their average income is much higher than that of ordinary workers. In the eyes of students, their quality of life is no worse than that of minor aristocrats.
...No, if you include the convenience of life brought by electricity, it is much better than that of a small noble. After all, training servants is not an easy task. Many things here will not be more troublesome without servants, such as washing clothes and boiling water. Category.
"There are a few foremen, too."
After eating and getting to know the situation in our hotel, a group of people went to the chess and card room on the second floor to play.
There are many types of board games in the Phoenix Kingdom, which are the main form of nightlife for many people. "Demon Attack and Defense", which has been exposed in the main world, is only the second player in the battle category among board games, and it is not even the one with the highest sales volume. , because the balance of this game is not good, and the Mozu side has great advantages. It is just that it was released early, has a group of loyal users, and there are many versions. The physical quality is also good, so it is more suitable for collection and secondary trading.
By running your own chess and card room, you can easily collect most of the board games on the market. If you can form a small circle here that includes collections and transactions, you can also collect many good things that have been discontinued on the market, which can satisfy students. The collecting habit has been stimulated, and I hope to have the opportunity to bring back a wave of exquisite products.
It had just opened at this time, and there were only about twenty sets of board games on the display racks, some of which were duplicates.
Two groups of students gathered at a table to play the game of savior, while Carter, accompanied by his entourage, observed the guests.
There were only two tables of guests at this time, and none of them were using the board games provided by the hotel. Anyone with an eye could see that the version they were using was much more exquisite, and the various bits and pieces were much more refined. They should be limited editions.
In terms of grading, deluxe editions are generally not as good as limited editions, but this is not necessarily the case. A few chess and card dealers that produce most of their own accessories may have deluxe editions that are better.
It's a pity that as a business, it's not easy to directly ask customers to force them to buy. Being a person from the main world and damaging the image of my hometown are secondary. The main thing is that the board games that everyone plays are mostly "renovated versions" and in pieces. Trading is also the most common form of trading in board games.
This makes people uncomfortable. The average living standard in the Phoenix Kingdom is too high, and it is not easy for collectors to quit due to lack of money. If you want to receive out-of-print products, you not only have to pay a premium, but you also have to be lucky.
But no matter what, it is easier to find good products if you have your own chess and card room than having your followers go to various markets.
Carter watched like the other guests, but he was thinking about other things.
