It was a pity that they couldn't keep all the money they had to pay before moving it out of the vault. However, the visiting senior manager of the Chamber of Commerce also understood that this was probably the limit of the two girls.
If they encouraged the two girls to buy blindly, not to mention offending the magician behind them, even the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce would punish them.
Wasn't it to protect the rights of the magicians that the association established a subsidiary Chamber of Commerce? How could they cheat their own people? If such a rumor was spread, it would cause a loss of the association's credibility. Even if their family died, it wouldn't be enough to appease the anger of the high-level magicians.
However, they did manage to finalize another deal. This time, as long as the goods were roughly collected, except for a few that needed to be mobilized from other places, a team of carriages and horses would be hired to deliver the goods. At the same time, the two girls would be sent back to the Tower of the Great Sage.
The biggest commission was the arrangement of the guards. After all, there were more than Xbra (10000) gold coins to be sent back. The guards were not trustworthy and had enough manpower. It was very likely that they would be robbed on the way or by their own people.
As for the follow-up of the Mall System, there was no reply. Lin was used to the various online malls of the Earth era and all kinds of pros and cons analysis. He had already considered all aspects of this castrated version in the manual and made arrangements for the future.
Just like the distribution of orders that had been debated for a long time in the XIIII meeting, in the end, they used a method designed by Lin. It was a default of no designated business. All orders would be returned to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and then distributed according to the results of the meeting. Of course, the option of designating business personnel to handle orders and give prices was also left open. This way, the magicians who were used to buying from someone could continue to establish a good transaction relationship on the Mall System.
As for whether there would be other problems, of course, they would have to wait until the System went online and then consider the solution.
In short, in the third week after arriving at Wulian City, everything was finally ready. The two girls would follow the carriages and horses back to the Tower of the Great Sage. There were a total of five caravans responsible for transporting the goods. In addition to the caravans that the girls were riding, there were a total of six caravans. In fact, the goods on the list had not been loaded yet. Some of them had to be mobilized from further places and would go with the next scheduled convoy.
There were six guards, and they were part of the Chamber of Commerce's trump card team. Their loyalty and strength were not a problem. At the same time, the senior manager who had contacted the girl and a mage who was one of President Orange Eaton's students also came along.
Although the president was not involved in the management, there would be factions if there were people around. The old man still had some useful people under him. And the appearance of that student was more of a shock to some of the small fries.
On the way back, the biggest news was that under the concerted efforts of the entire Chamber of Commerce, the Merchant Shop System was officially unveiled. The interface was different from the discussion area. There were many pictures and detailed descriptions. It made people feel as if they were in a shop and could choose a dazzling array of products. Many people were mesmerized the moment they saw it, unable to extricate themselves.
And the origin of the picture was not the camera of the Lost Earth World. There was no such thing in this world, but there was a similar magic. There was a saying that after a human died, they would imprint the last thing they saw before they died into their eyes. Some Mages used this theory to develop the Branding Spell. The medium was the eyeball. It did not have to be a human eyeball. Animal eyeballs were also fine.
But an eyeball could only retain a static image. And to view it, another spell was needed. So in terms of practicality, it was not popular. Instead, in the aristocratic circle, there were often people who wanted to flatter and use the Branding Spell to imprint the image of a beauty. Then, they would encourage some aristocrats to fight for it or even snatch it.
Later, the Branding Spell ushered in a reform. Some Mages developed the use of crystal balls to store multiple static images. And they could be viewed directly with the crystal ball without the need for another spell. However, the expensive materials made the modified crystal ball Branding Spell not accepted by most people except for special purposes. Of course, there was no way to form a photography culture like on Earth.
And this third reform was the image storage format developed by Lin for the forum and the Merchant Shop System. On the forum, there were people who used magic words to post the drawings or magic arrays in books in the form of pictures on the Internet.
When the Merchant Shop System was first established, Lin had the idea of storing the static images obtained by the Branding Spell in the system and did some research. After all, for business, purely using words to introduce the product and seeing the product itself were two completely different effects. And this idea was approved by most people in the Chamber of Commerce. The effect of implementing it was just as fascinating as what was before their eyes.
… Then, there were endless howls of grief.
The Internet in the Lost Earth World did not have specifications for Internet speed, but there was a limit to the amount of traffic. And this limit depended on the carrier of the browser system, which was the magic power contained in the magic stone or the energy pool itself.
If it was a semi-infinite energy source like the energy pool, there would be nothing to say. But although the energy contained in the magic stone showed signs of natural recovery, it could only be used permanently if the consumption of energy did not break the balance in the magic stone.
In terms of usage, just by looking at the pure text information on the forum, even the lowest-level magic stone of the Red Glory level could be used without any consumption.
And of the existing videos on the forum, only the surveillance footage that Lin provided to the Association as evidence was not made public, so it could be ignored.
As for the pictures, they would also appear in the discussion articles on the forum, but they were only supplementary information and not explanatory information as the main topic. So relatively speaking, the appearance of pictures was quite rare. Therefore, although opening the pictures would consume energy and break the balance in the magic stone, in the past few months of experience, the consumption was not obvious, so the lethality of the pictures was ignored.
Now that the Merchant Shop System was online, the dazzling pictures and information deeply stimulated everyone's desire to spend. They couldn't help but look down page by page … and then the magic stone exploded.
Except for a very small number of mages who were rich enough to use high-level magic stones as the carrier of the browser, most of the users were mages who were not so financially well-off, or apprentices who continued to pay the price of learning magic knowledge, and ordinary people who were related to Wulian City, who had some spare money in their hands.
The last few types of people all used the lowest-level magic stones of the Red Glory level as the carrier. In the original way, it was more than enough. But once the Merchant Shop System was online, it was all a tragedy.
This was also one of the nights when the caravan was on their way to the Tower of the Great Sage. At a certain time after everyone rushed to inform the others that the Merchant Shop System was online, the magic stones made a series of crisp cracking sounds, and everyone let out sorrowful howls almost at the same time, including Hallumi, Kaya, and the six guards.
The browser system that used magic stones as the carrier could be used by most of the Homo Sapiens who could use magic tools. So these warriors who worked under the Society of Sorcerers could also use it. On the one hand, it was a job requirement, and they used the forum to report all kinds of information and the whereabouts of the caravan to the Chamber of Commerce. When they needed something, they would also purchase things from the Chamber of Commerce, so the launch of the Merchant Shop System was naturally the focus of their attention. Then … the magic stones exploded.
In the caravan, other than the two girls who could take out the spare browser magic stones from their bags, only the leader of the guards had a public browser magic stone. It was used to deal with official information, and it was usually not used, so it did not explode. And the student of President Orange Eaton also looked at the powder in his hand, and then looked at the sky speechlessly.
Considering that the mentor of the two girls was the inventor of the browser magic. Since they would bring a spare, there might be a second or third one. So at the request of the others, Hallumi and Kaya only kept one magic stone with the browser system in it, and sold the other five to the rest of the caravan. The price was directly based on the value of the magic stones, plus Kiel's browser magic, so they did not ask for much.
The fact that there were so many spare magic stones was all a habit brought by their teacher. When going out, it was better to be prepared than to be flustered. For some irreplaceable items, they would always bring some backup to avoid unexpected situations. As for life-saving items, they had to be checked again and again. If there was not enough, they could buy them with money, but if they lost their lives, then there was nothing to talk about.
As for the mage who was sent out by his teacher, the president, to carry out this escort mission, he looked at the money box on the caravan with some helplessness. The reason for this mission was that there were rumors that some people coveted this huge amount of gold coins, so President Orange Eaton made a big move to show his attitude and warn those who were hiding in the dark.
Anyway, as long as he escorted it once, there should not be so much profit in the future.
But teacher, maybe this money box of the same weight would have to be delivered again. The mage said silently in his heart.
When the shop system went online, this caravan alone had exploded 10 magic stones. What a wonderful scene it would be in Wulian City. Just imagining it made one shudder.
This was not. As soon as it went online again, the Association warned all the people who browsed the shop page in all the discussion areas that could be posted that except for the Tower Masters of the various Magic Towers that used the energy pool as the system, the browser settings should be changed to not open all the pictures by default. If one wanted to open a picture, one just had to click on the icon box to open it.
Come to think of it, Wulian City should also be full of mourning at this time.
Finally, when everyone was full of grievances, the tall figure of the Tower of the Great Sage appeared at the end of their vision.
They were home.
