T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

If he had any doubts before, he was now 100% certain that this was indeed the young master from the Imperial Academy, struggling with his summer homework.

He held up two fingers: "Two Lion King silver coins."

As Jiang Heyi expected, he casually placed the two silver coins on the table.

"Can it be finished today?"

"Simple, it will be ready before noon."

For a skilled apothecary, these basic potions are a piece of cake.

The minotaur refined the herbs in one furnace, producing two different qualities of medicinal materials.

The task was completed before noon, without even breaking a sweat.

Jiang Heyi nodded repeatedly, his face full of satisfaction.

"Hey, hey, hey, you haven't even checked the goods yet, are you leaving already?"

Jiang Heyi snorted: "Too lazy to check. If the homework is ruined, I'll come back to you."

The minotaur alchemist shook his head with a wry smile, but when he looked at the two Lion King silver coins, his heart leaped with joy.

"Students' money is really easy to make. There are opportunities everywhere around the capital. I can't even imagine how much my colleagues there can earn during each holiday."

The refining process went exceptionally smoothly, and even the cost was much lower than Jiang Heyi had anticipated.

He went to the most luxurious tavern in the city center, rented a room for half a Lion King silver coin, and eagerly closed the door and took out the potion.

Two batches were prepared in one batch, totaling 12 small bottles of potion, enough for him to accelerate his adaptation to magic and awaken ahead of schedule.

He specifically instructed that the potion be of low quality, also for safety reasons.

If you suddenly take a potion that is too potent, your body will suffer a huge burden when you awaken.

The medicine is a mesmerizing deep blue color, and comes in a small bottle that, at first glance, looks like the zinc gluconate I used to drink when I was a child.

Jiang Heyi recalled Bohe's advice, shook it slightly before drinking, took a deep breath, and downed it in one gulp!

It has a cool, refreshing taste, a rich and smooth texture, like milk that has been slightly frozen into a slushie, rushing down your throat.

A few seconds later, a warm feeling rose from my stomach.

In just a moment, Jiang Heyi's body turned red. Before the burning and stinging sensation could spread, the rustling of the breeze on his face suddenly cleared his muddled mind.

He seemed to be in the middle of a vast ocean, with the gentle seawater supporting his body.

They are everywhere, yet when you open your eyes, there is no trace of them.

Jiang Heyi stretched out his hand, enduring the still spreading stinging and burning sensation, and held his breath.

"Huhuhu~~~"

A tiny whirlwind rose from the palm of my hand.

Weak, shaky, and could dissipate at any moment.

“You have an excellent affinity with mental magic, so the affinity with ordinary magic is not a problem either.”

"Others may need a few days to immerse themselves and adjust, but you don't."

"Once we land, we'll find a way to achieve awakening."

Teacher Sayer's strategy is reliable.

Less than a day after landing in Anna, Jiang Heyi completed the transformation from level 0 to level 1 on his alt account.

In the world of Anna, whether or not you possess magic largely determines the trajectory of your life.

"The first step in saving Anna has been successful."

Chapter 561 The Importance of Mastering a Foreign Language

With a solid theoretical foundation in magic, Jiang Heyi spent another day getting used to the application of magic and successfully recreated the spell.

【Swift as the Wind】 is a highly versatile magic that purely enhances movement speed.

It's a very versatile spell in the game, but not as good as a specialized blessing spell.

In reality, it's just a trick that beginners like to try, but then discard once they've passed the initial learning stage.

It's not as good as the best, nor as bad as the worst... Most of the time, it has no inferior position, because it is inherently inferior.

Who would bother to study an old technique that hasn't been innovated in nearly a century and is practically useless?

Having gained experience from his previous life's games, Jiang Heyi didn't hesitate much. He pulled out all the magic power stored in his body, which was being immersed for the first time, and enjoyed the thrill of being constantly accompanied by a whirlwind.

He uses it, others don't.

Since this is a return to the world of Proof of the Stars before its official launch, we need to maximize the emotional impact first.

Jiang Heyi looked at the five Lion King silver coins remaining in his hand and fell into deep thought.

They temporarily settled in Hersal City to slowly digest the potion that was still in effect after awakening.

Should we use this money to set off immediately, follow the caravan, and head towards Fengjia along the main road?

After a brief hesitation, he decided to stay.

There are too many uncertainties in the wild. Even if he were to follow the main road, if something were to happen suddenly, with his newly awakened level, escaping would be a pipe dream.

"At least Tier 2, it's more appropriate to leave the safe zone only after you have enough mana."

Having made the choice, the next step is to make money.

Considering the possibility of running into people he had met before in Hersal City, he had to use some skills that were appropriate for his status and that most people did not possess to make a profit.

Upon returning to the Minotaur's potion shop, the man seemed somewhat taken aback.

"Is there a mistake in the potion-making process?"

It's easy to make money off students, but if the aftermath isn't handled properly, given their potential to attend an imperial academy, they'll likely face a lot of trouble in the future.

Just thinking about this made the minotaur speak very carefully.

"name?"

"what?"

"I'd like to ask your name."

"Oh, Teku."

"what?"

Jiang Heyi blinked and sized up the burly man who looked nine-tenths like a martial artist.

That's really cool.

"Potato, that's what my classmates call me."

After exchanging names, Jiang Heyi immediately explained his purpose.

"I want to earn some pocket money, and I hope to work with you."

Teku swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then reached into his pants pocket and pulled out...

Two Lion King silver coins.

"Mr. Potato, consider it as me helping you concoct medicine for free."

"?"

"It was my fault for being so ignorant as to ask you for payment. You can take this small amount of money back."

Jiang Heyi sighed, "What do you mean? Am I a scumbag who doesn't pay for things?"

Teku did not answer.

No answer is also an answer.

"When you introduced your business last time, you mentioned that you also buy back materials and help with appraisal, right?" Jiang Heyi said to himself, "You can appraise items related to mental magic?"

Teku frowned slightly.

Identifying extremely rare and unique natural spiritual materials requires someone with some knowledge of spiritual magic.

Mental magicians are as rare as spatial magicians, and most of them are active only in large city-states.

Therefore, spiritual materials are often the easiest loot for adventurers to find.

Unaware shopkeepers refused to accept the goods without understanding their value, and adventurers, deeming them worthless, simply tossed them aside in the wild.

"Considering what was just said," Teku hesitated.

"Lord Potato, are you a mental magician?"

"Understood."

Jiang Heyi's plan is to temporarily register the shop under the name of Teku.

If the shop conducts appraisals during this period, he will help take a look and remind customers if there are any items that meet the criteria.

As for the money that can be made from it, it's 70/30.

Teku carefully considered the matter...

Not bad.

He wouldn't have earned this money in the first place, so having Jiang Heyi stationed at the store would increase the chances of finding a bargain. Why not?

Moreover, Jiang Heyi doesn't charge for his on-site service; he only charges after confirming the value of the props.

Every time you can capitalize on information asymmetry, you make a huge profit.

but……

"Mr. Potato, don't you have any money at home?"

"Going out to complete summer homework, part of a trip, do you think they'll let me spend lavishly?"

Teku knew nothing about the nobles living near Anadu; everything was based on his imagination.

But he felt there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Those who enter the Imperial Academy at this age are destined to become the elite of Anna.

Having grown accustomed to a life of luxury, the sudden financial strain will inevitably lead people to try every means to ensure their standard of living doesn't decline.

Upon hearing that Jiang Heyi was staying at the most prestigious tavern in Heyan City, a place that catered exclusively to top adventurers and local dignitaries, Teku couldn't help but marvel at how true the young master was.

They talk about going out to gain experience and doing summer homework, but wherever they go, they still can't resist the most luxurious enjoyment.

The cooperation was reached, but the two did not sign an agreement, and Jiang Heyi believed that Teku would not dare to lie to him.

His experience over two days of hands-on practice told him that the identity of a student at one of the five major universities in the Empire was extremely useful.

In Anna, where illiteracy is widespread, most people find it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

As for going to the capital to confirm the details...

If they have that ability, why would they be adventurers?

Opening a shop in a city-state on the edge of an empire?

The awe shown by everyone towards his fabricated identity, who might be a future member of the Mage Tower, was genuine.

For two days in a row, Teku did not contact Jiang Heyi.

He was prepared for this and did not place all his hopes on making a quick buck and achieving instant success.

It wasn't difficult to find Narian and his group resting in the city.

Jiang Heyi got straight to the point, explaining that he was short of money due to family restrictions.

Upon hearing this, the four members of the Narian group all reached into their pockets.

“I don’t want your money. As you know, I’m here for summer training, so I need to earn my own money.”

Narian suddenly realized: "You want to hunt with us?"

Jiang Heyi felt a chill run down her spine.

Hunting?

Who hunts whom?
