"Looks like even the mysterious person can't play the financial game …"
Chung Shen-soo sighed and looked at Jason in silence.
Then, the plump youth said, "Li Wei, you're so rich, why did you choose our small guild? To be honest, our guild only has Professor Davis with three apprentices, and two of them are still working outside … "
Chung Shen-soo continued to sigh. "Can I say that I was tricked by the person who introduced me?"
He already knew that with Julie's stingy personality, the guild she introduced wouldn't be too good.
But from the looks of it, this Fifth Ring guild wasn't just bad, it seemed like it was about to be finished.
Even the mysterious apprentices had to go out to work, it was too miserable!
Wait a minute. Even a Beyonder who passes through the pitch-black door would find it difficult to do anything apart from stirring their spirituality. The cultivation of Potionology isn't an easy task. It requires a large amount of money to be invested …
If I didn't rely on the money I earned from selling alcohol, my skills as a bartender, and my previous experience in alchemy, I would have to fail many times before succeeding once in a while … From the looks of it, it's understandable for Extraordinaries to become ordinary workers. After all, they can't break the law, so the speed at which they earn money is very limited. If they want to do bad things, the Special Affairs Bureau isn't blind …
Thinking of this, Chung Shen-soo couldn't help but ask, "Have you three apprentices passed through the Dark Door?"
"No, among the three of us, only William has officially advanced to become a Beyonder. Camilla and I are still loitering outside the door, but I can already see the pitch-black door when I'm in Cogitation recently!"
Jason answered with a face full of pride.
"Alright, two Mysterious Apprentices …"
Chung Shen-soo was even more speechless as he followed Jason around the Fifth Ring guild's encampment.
"The second floor here belongs entirely to our sect. Because there are not many people here, we can get a single room …" Jason happily led Chung Shen-soo to a single room. "There's even a separate washroom … You should know that the rental prices in Isril are very high. Some of those students who come to study abroad have no choice but to squeeze into the public rental houses with workers and drivers."
"We usually have to buy our own food. We've already told the training classes that we can eat at their restaurants. Of course, we have to pay for it ourselves …"
Jason opened another room. "Laboratory, alchemy room, greenhouse … We have all of them here. The facilities are quite complete. And the innermost room."
He pointed to the mahogany door at the end of the corridor.
On both sides of the door, there were two lifelike statues of gargoyles. "That's the library. Every week, the teacher will hold three lessons. The time is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday night. The rest of the time, we'll have to rely on ourselves to study. However, to enter the library, we'll need a certificate … Inside … It's extremely dangerous!"
An Alchemy Golem?
Chung Shen-soo looked at the two Gargoyles and nodded slightly.
No matter what, the Fifth Ring School still had some foundation.
At night, he and Jason went to the restaurant on the first floor for dinner.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked into the restaurant.
The man was tall and handsome, wearing indigo work clothes. The woman had soft blonde hair and looked very cute. She was also wearing a maid's outfit.
"William, Camilla!"
Jason waved his hand. "Here …"
He introduced the two of them. "This is Li Wei, a student that the teacher has just accepted!"
"Hello!"
Chung Shen-soo stood up and greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Camilla. I work in a maid cafe." Camilla blushed and lowered her head.
"You actually chose to join us. What an unwise decision."
William had a strong smell of engine oil on him, and he looked very tired.
This' Extraordinary 'seemed to have just gone through extremely strenuous physical labor.
And in his eyes, Chung Shen-soo saw uncontrollable anger.
"Where's the teacher? I'm going to look for him! "
"The teacher is in the office …"
Jason answered subconsciously, and his expression changed. "What do you want?"
"I'm going to talk to the teacher."
William walked out of the restaurant and went to the second floor.
Jason quickly stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth. "Looks like something's going to happen. We have to go and take a look …"
The three of them walked up the stairs and came out of the office. As expected, they heard William's loud roar. "I've had enough … Look at Mirren and Wolfe! As the teacher's favorite students, they even have to work to maintain the consumption of various potions … We are Mysteries, not workers! Even Mirren fell sick from exhaustion and almost died … What is the purpose of the Mysteries that we've been searching for? That's a joke! "
"Cough cough …" Davis's voice was full of helplessness. "Didn't I cure Mirren in the end? Although he chose to quit the school and become a company employee, I heard that he has recently won the boss's daughter and has a bright future … And Wolfe went back to his hometown to inherit the farm. "
"But they quit!" William panted. "In this era, the Mysteries are over. Only money is everything … Ordinary people in the Federation can live well, and the mad dogs of the Special Affairs Bureau are everywhere … Then why do we still have to stick to those ancient rules?"
"William, I know you're sad and tormented … But rules are rules. You can't use the Mysteries to earn ill-gotten gains!"
Davis's voice was solemn and solemn.
"Then, I'm sorry … Teacher, I won't come again."
William took a deep breath. "I choose to quit the school!"
He bowed one last time and opened the office door. Seeing Jason and the other two, he shook his head and left the second floor.
"Teacher …"
Jason watched the only Extraordinary student leave. Davis's back seemed to hunch even more, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"I'm fine. Come in."
Davis sighed and let Chung Shen-soo and the other two in.
"This is my new student, Li Wei. You guys know each other?"
He smiled. "Thanks to him, from today onwards, we can get a portion of the subsidy every week. Sigh, I wanted to be the first to tell William about this good news …"
Davis was still a little sad. He handed a black iron medal to Chung Shen-soo. "This is your library card. Keep it well and don't lose it … Remember, the books in the library are very dangerous. Don't go there after midnight, and don't look at the forbidden areas …"
"Got it."
Chung Shen-soo agreed readily and took the black iron medal.
