The printing workshop's business was on the right track faster than Lin had expected. Apart from printing mathematics journals and experimenting with printing magic scrolls, the workshop had also started to accept a large number of printing jobs.
Maybe it was because of Lin's suggestion that magic words and non-magic words should be handled separately. Lin was surprised to find that in the world of Mages, there were many projects that could use printing to shorten working time.
Although there was no such thing as "time is money" in the land of mystery, it was partly because the concept of "money" was not as deeply rooted in people's minds as it was on Earth. However, the method that could save working time and increase work efficiency was still very popular.
Of course, if there were benefits, there would be losses. However, compared to the first wave of impact brought by the forum, the printing press was not as big of an impact as the forum.
The study of printing magic scrolls was also in full swing.
The content selection of the journals had also developed its own rhythm. The testers who participated in the selection of committee members were not as enthusiastic as Lin had imagined.
Judging from the behavior of the testers, the people who came to mathematics classes could be divided into two categories: those who wanted fame and those who wanted knowledge. The former would actively participate in any related activities, while the latter just wanted to do their research in peace.
But no matter which type, Lin was very kind and gave out a part of the journal's work. The people who took over the journal were also running the system smoothly.
As for the screening of silk moth species, the pace was slow and steady, but in fact, the target of the research was constantly expanding.
The 18 species of magic moths and 4 species of common moths that had been collected did not mean that there were only a few species of moths. No matter in which world, insects were the most diverse species. The ones that had been collected were only the species that could be caught in a short period of time and in locations near the Holy City.
The bounty that the Lich had put on the Adventurers' Guild was still there. The species of moths that only existed in distant places were sent to the hands of a certain Lich in the Holy City by different groups of adventurers.
Of course, when one collected too many species of moths, conflicts would inevitably occur. For example, when other people sent the same species of moths that they already had, should they be paid or not? Should they be paid at a discount? Or should they be paid in full? Lich had personally gone to the guild to collect the moth seeds. Because of this, he had argued with the adventurers several times and almost destroyed the guild.
This was because none of the members at the reception of the Adventurer's Guild could beat her. Otherwise, it would have been settled privately. However, the current situation was that the other party didn't really welcome this Lich's reappearance, but they didn't dare to stop him because they didn't have the strength to.
In the end, it was still up to a certain someone to deal with the aftermath. It wasn't like he was cutting off the entire bounty. Instead, he was making the originally vague request even clearer. Furthermore, considering that many adventurers might be illiterate, he had to use words in a way that these people could understand. He had to think for a long time before he could understand the meaning of a sentence.
The details are as follows: First, the same species of moths, male and female as a pair, the bounty is XX Kiel (20 gold). The highest reward for capturing three pairs of moths that are alive and healthy is C Kiel (100 gold).
Second, the bounty will also include a list of moths that have already been collected. If someone brought the moths on the list to receive the bounty, ordinary moths won't pay the bounty. Magic moths with authority will pay a maximum of one-tenth of the bounty of the first item as a reward for capturing the magic insects.
Third, magic moths of a single gender are brought. If there are no male and female pairs, ordinary moths won't pay. The bounty for each magic moth won't exceed I Kiel (1 gold). Regardless of species, this is also a reward for hard work.
In addition to the specific text description, the list also has characteristic pictures and individual pictures, so that people can at least use a basis for comparison.
These bounty requirements and the description and pictures of the list were all placed in a special section of the Adventurer's Guild forum and made public to the whole world.
Thanks to the convenience of the forum, organizations like the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary's Guild, which were all over the world, spread information and missions more than a hundred times faster than before.
In the past, the guilds mainly provided local missions. Occasionally, there would be regional missions, but the time limit was longer and the performance was not good. Now that the guilds had a forum, the missions were divided into three levels: the whole world, the regional, and the local. Also, because of the speed of information transmission, as long as the reward was attractive, it was easy to attract adventurers to travel long distances and work in places with more money.
The bounty that Fen offered was, of course, of the entire Mythical level. Considering the difference between the different types of moths, if they really wanted to do research in this area, it was not possible to limit it to a small area.
However, it was not that simple in reality. The reward of C Kiel (100 gold) was very generous for ordinary adventurers. Capturing magic moths alive was not difficult as long as they were well prepared. The trouble was how long they had to travel with magic moths alive in exchange for the bounty that might not even be enough to cover the travel expenses.
Not to mention the long distance travel that would take a lot of time and bring about variables. For example, the moths that were not originally on the list were handed over by others, so the adventurers who came later could only get one-tenth of the reward. This change in time difference was one of the main reasons why Fen and the adventurers who came to receive the bounty argued.
Therefore, although the bounty was for the whole world, its influence was actually only in the area around the Holy City.
Of course, there were also foreigners who wanted to use their muscles to "receive the reward," such as the group sitting in front of them.
There was no doubt that they were foreigners. The number of registered adventurers in the Holy City was quite small, and most of them were from the magic side. The pure warrior groups could only be foreigners.
Lin looked at a big bald man who was about the size of a bear. He was carrying a broadsword and had a few brothers. He was shouting loudly and spitting saliva as if he wanted to drown people. "I said, this is what you want, why don't you give me the money?!"
Lin looked at the sickly looking magic moth that was pressed on the table. It had triangular wings with one horizontal and three vertical lines on its wings. Its body was slender compared to other moths, but it was not as big as a butterfly or a dragonfly. The most obvious feature was that the two antennae on its head were green hair, so it was widely known as the Green Magic Moth.
The scale powder of the Green Magic Moth had hallucinogenic and paralyzing effects. In fact, this was a common characteristic of most magic moths. However, the toxicity of the Green Magic Moth was not strong. Ordinary people might not be able to withstand it, but a strong warrior could not be affected by the scale powder and continue to fight for a while.
The Green Magic Moth was not very strong. In the words of the game on Earth, it was a novice monster. As long as it did not grow into a large scale, the fledgling adventurers could easily suppress it. Moreover, the Green Magic Moth was distributed in a large area, and there were many of them. Therefore, it was the most commonly used magic moth species to receive rewards.
The problem was that the silk threads of this moth species could not be used!
According to the results of Hallumi's cultivation, the most suitable type of silk material that Lin Huang had envisioned was the moth species that mainly had dots on its wings. The silk threads spat out by the larvae of this subspecies of magic moth could all be loaded with the most basic magic that Lin had set, which was the protective magic that could resist the energy of high-dimensional mutants.
There were subspecies of other moths that could be used, and there were also subspecies that could not be used. Considering that he still planned to crossbreed them in the future, he could only target one of the subspecies. Although he did not completely give up on the other moths, he only kept a few of the more outstanding ones for future research. Perhaps there would be a different surprise when he mixed the silk threads.
However, the current situation was that there were too many Green Magic Moths. Lin Huang had already received enough and did not want to continue collecting them. Not to mention the sickly Magic Moth in front of him. Was he going to collect it and use it as fertilizer?
Perhaps the expression of disdain on his face was too obvious. The bear-like warrior shouted at the top of his voice, "What, you don't want to admit it! I found it according to the guild's bounty standards. If you want more than three pairs of males and females, I caught more than ten of them. One is C Kiel (100 gold). Here, I'll count it as M Kiel (1000 gold). "
The bounty said that three pairs of six would be 100 gold. This guy only counted one pair as 100 gold. He did not pass the most basic math. However, Lin Huang was not in a hurry to scold him. He looked at the cage that had caught more than ten Magic Moths. Heh, they were all lying on the ground. Some of them had obvious external injuries, such as missing wings or half of their bodies. Some of the moths had even started to rot. Anyway, the one that was caught was the only one that was alive.
"These moths are all dead. I want them alive. Dead ones are useless. Brother, "Lin said helplessly.
However, the warrior was unhappy when he heard that. He raised his broadsword and swung it. Lin Huang dodged quickly and used Blink to avoid the blade of the broadsword. However, it gave the impression that he was dazzled and took a few steps back. However, the warrior only wanted to scare him and did not want to kill him. Therefore, he did not chase after him. He only said like a ghost going around a wall, "Pay up, pay up. When I caught them, they were still alive. You can't blame me if they're dead now. Anyway, you just have to pay up, pay up, pay up! "
Lin retreated to the counter of the guild. He turned sideways and asked the girl behind the counter, "People like them, didn't you help them?"
The Adventurer's Guild was a platform for entrusting and distributing missions. Of course, it was not like the bad merchants on Earth who only cared about the intermediary fees. Generally speaking, the guild acted as a middleman and had the responsibility of certifying and guaranteeing.
For example, it rated the missions and determined the rewards. It would not be like the situation where a dragon slayer was only paid 1 Kiel (1 gold). On the other hand, it ranked the adventurers and confirmed that the people who accepted the mission had the ability to complete it. When there was a dispute, the guild would also act as an arbitrator and punish the scammers who tried to cheat in the mission.
However, this function had been challenged in the past few years. The reason was the development of the forum. The guild itself was in the adaptation period. Some of the steps were too big, resulting in some undesirable aspects. For the higher-ups of the guild, they were also exploring the direction to move forward.
