Chapter 97 Buyback (2)

Xiajing Miyagi.

The palace was built 1200 years ago. Although it has undergone countless repairs, it still maintains the style of the year.The high raised spiers of mountain flowers, ornamental columns and flower railings all represent the past days.

In that era, Great Xia was still the most powerful dynasty on the mainland, experiencing the thrill of all nations coming to court.However, today, it is already an ordinary member of many countries.

Among the buildings located near Miyagi, only one adopts the Western style, and the round and protruding dome is the most prominent mark.

Anyone who has lived in Xiajing for a long time knows that this is the official residence of the Royal Star Warlock.

Yu Rong walked easily into the porch guarded by the knights, nodded slightly to the leader, and walked in.His grandmother is the niece of Jiang Huang astronomist, and she has the talent of astronomy, so she is taken seriously, and she is unimpeded in the official residence of the royal astronomy.

What he went to meet was Jiang Huang's apprentice Xi Wuyong, who seemed to be an ordinary first-level astrologer, but because of his identity, he was different—of course, the ordinary here is only relative to the astrologers.

The two are also very familiar, Yu Rong entered the door to say hello, then took out the notebook he had sorted out yesterday, and said with a smile: "Cheng Jinzhou... is very capable."

"It's rare to be willing to explain to other astrologists for free. Do you think he knows a lot about calculus?" Xi Wuyong was older, and while speaking, he remembered the first time he saw Cheng Jinzhou , who would have thought that he could have the same research content as his master, Warlock Jiang Huangxing.

"He doesn't talk much, but he can talk about optical issues and some calculation skills, which is especially rare. And he is still so young, so many star warlocks in the association admire him." Yu Rong commented.He used to study at the official residence every day, but now that he has joined the association, he feels that he has made rapid progress, and it is not just detective work.

"Then where do you think he has reached in his research?" Xi Wuyong looked at the notebook in his hand and continued to ask.

Yu Rong thought about what he had seen these days: "I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to study this problem, maybe he didn't take calculus as his main direction?"

"The Jiang Huang star warlock mentioned it face to face, and it was something he had thought about independently. He is a smart person, so it is impossible not to give it a try..."

"But he definitely doesn't have time during the day. Maybe he has studied it, but failed? He is in the association every day these days."

The two of them couldn't figure out what was going on. After listening halfway, Deng walked in and asked, "Actually, what Master wants to know most is if we give him good research conditions, is it worth spending a lot of money to bring him to Come here."

Xi Wuyong glanced at him and said: "I don't think it's actually necessary. The subject chosen by Master is very big, and it can't be solved by one or two astrologists. If you add him or not, the result will not change much, let alone him. Without Star Array, many problems cannot be solved independently..."

Deng Zhu interrupted him, turned his head and asked, "Yu Rong, you specialize in computing, Cheng Jinzhou doesn't have a star array, how did you do it in terms of computing?"

Yu Rong had not noticed this aspect at first, but when he thought about it now, he was suddenly surprised and said: "He seems to be doing all the calculations in his head."

"Mental calculation?" Xi Wuyong turned his head immediately, ignoring Deng Zhuo's impoliteness, and said: "Are you sure he is doing mental calculations, not pen calculations?"

"It must be mental arithmetic, otherwise it is star array. I didn't think of it before, but when he helped me solve the problem, it was indeed completed very quickly." Yu Rong thought back, secretly a little annoyed, he always paid attention to the problem, and in addition The question was about what he cared about, and he lost his power of observation.

After having the mental arithmetic tutorial, Cheng Jinzhou can often use straight-forward calculation methods similar to computers, plus some simple skills. In ordinary problems, the pen can only play the most basic role of memory.This method is beyond the comprehension of astrologists. Even if it is the application of logarithms, they are mostly used as a tool of skill, not a tool itself.

Deng Zhu said without any hesitation: "I'm going to see Master. Cheng Jinzhou should be a two-star warlock. We can't let him go to An Feng and Liu Kuang."

Speaking of the two fourth-level star warlocks in the outer peninsula, he directly mentioned their names.

Xi Wuyong immediately said: "I will go with you, Cheng Jinzhou has a very good relationship with the other party, this matter should be discussed in the long run."

"The philosophy of the star warlock determines his position. We are not officials. If he agrees with Master's research direction, then he is one of us." Deng Zhuo said and was about to leave.

Yu Rong recalled yesterday's conversation, and quickly said: "Cheng Jinzhou may already be a two-star warlock, or soon."

"I didn't hear the news." Both of them stopped.

"He said he wanted to keep a low profile. I suggested that he go find Xu Gu. He might not report it."

"It is said that his contribution points should have been enough for a long time. It is probably due to bad luck." Deng Zhu guessed accurately: "His family is not peaceful, and he has to study optics. Lenses and glass are not cheap. It is estimated that he will use It’s a lot, but no matter what, with the initial contribution points, it’s still no problem to get two stars.”

When it comes to three-star warlocks, from 1000 contribution points to 9999 contribution points, there is no practical significance. Star warlocks exchange more contribution points, and the same is true in other stages. They often remember the number of initial contribution points and wait until they are enough to upgrade. Then slowly exchange it back.This is true, but in fact, the star warlock who can get three stars is at least an old man over 80 years old. It is considered young to have three stars at the age of 150, and four stars are even more rare. Super star warlocks need more time.But in the end, the level of the star warlock is also indispensable, otherwise, if you don't live to be 80 years old, it will be nothing in the end.

Cheng Jinzhou was discussed in the official residence, and Xiao Cheng himself was waiting for news from Xiang Xin in the association.

When he exchanged the contribution points, he sold them for almost 600 taels of silver, but when he wanted to buy them back, he couldn't control the price.The so-called price but no market refers to this situation. People will not deliberately blackmail you, but there will not always be goods waiting for you to trade in the market. If it is not a coincidence, you will have to wait for a long time.

Of course, there is Warlock Liu Kuangxing behind Xiang Xin, and he has many more channels to know about it. Even so, Cheng Jinzhou still prepared 5000 taels of silver, which is only the price of 6 or 7 contribution points.

His own contribution points have almost stopped increasing. If the double-slit interference cannot arouse the interest of the Star Warlocks, who knows when the final points will have to wait.Ordinary results reports are considered good if they can bring in several contribution points in five or six years. For experimental reports like his, the results are even worse.It is unreasonable to continue to submit the results report.

Cheng Jinzhou sat on his seat and drank tea by himself. He never thought that Yang's double-slit interference, which is so famous in the 21st century, has no market here. It seems that good wine is afraid of things like deep alleys, not just information A product of society, the world of the astrologers is also a world of eyeballs.

By the afternoon, there were still no contribution points recorded, but Shen Cong took the time to come over. He liked to come to the Astromancer Association very much. Although he was not an Astromancer, being able to enter it would still make him feel superior to others , as if I have reached a place that others cannot reach, just like climbing a mountain successfully.For people with a carefree life, surpassing others may be the main way for them to improve their happiness index.

Shen Cong held a copy of "Zhuzi" and read it on the chair of the association. At the same time, he whispered to Cheng Jinzhou: "I heard that the court will actively provide two-star warlocks and the association will pay back? Are you still planning to take the provincial examination?"

When preparing for the provincial examination, Cheng Jinzhou did not have the consciousness to become an astromancer, but he came from China in the 21st century, so he inevitably had an official thought: "I can't puncture the star array now. How far you can go, fame is more practical."

He actually saw very clearly that the Cheng family was his backing outside, but within the Cheng family, he had to work hard on his own.The title of a two-star warlock cannot substantially change his status, but if a two-star warlock is combined with a good reputation, he can gain a lot of advantages in the officialdom, which may have a negative impact on the status of a star warlock.Other astrologists pay attention to concentration, but he is different. He doesn't need to spend time on research. As long as he can avoid the eyes of everyone, his time can be allocated to other aspects.

If Cheng's father can be reinstated and Cheng Jinzhou returns to Shaonan, maybe he can be a happy son-in-law, but as before, it is inevitable that he will be bullied.His struggle may be to bully more and be bullied less. As of now, he is still in the initial stage of bullying society.

"If it were me, I would get a project with tens of thousands of taels of silver per year, and I would not take the exam." Shen Cong threw the book on the table. When the exam was about to take place, even a young man like him would inevitably feel anxious. The proportion of people is too low, the gap between success and failure is too large, it is always easy to make people psychologically unbalanced.

Cheng Jinzhou shrugged and said: "The association reviews projects every year, not to mention whether there are tens of thousands of taels of silver. If there is no result, it will be two or three years at most. If it is a three-star warlock, life will be easier."

A three-star warlock is probably a tenured professor. There is no need to declare, and a lot of money goes into the account every year. If there are projects, there will naturally be more money, and these are small items. Any three-star warlock is the master of the country. , the countless technologies in his hands are just one of them.

Shen Cong smiled self-consciously and said: "At your age, you will definitely be able to become a three-star warlock, but I don't know if I can see it. I don't know how many high-levels there are in Daxia now..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly stopped, closed his mouth and pursed it, as if a coyote was greedy when he saw a turkey.

Cheng Jinzhou turned his head to look, but it was a tall, long-legged beauty.The slender legs account for at least 50% of the body, and the chest is also high and bulging. The upper body is covered with a light green short robe, and the waist is tied with a wide red belt, which makes her figure even more graceful...

Xiang Xin, who was next to him, looked around and led the beautiful woman over. Shen Cong stood on the right side of Cheng Jinzhou with a drooling look on his face, waiting for introductions from both parties.
