Chapter 13 Learning is the foundation of progress

Ai Luo waved his hand again and said with a smile: "No, no, no, not everything in this world can be solved with magic. Boss, I have also tasted and bought your cheese pie. Each pie costs two copper coins.

It’s full, rich in flavor, and fragrant! If you eat it alone, it might take you four days to finish it.”

Round Cheese put his hands on his hips: "Isn't this? The best delicacy in Pelican Town!"

"So boss, I suggest you make the pie again and divide it into three levels: large, medium and small."

"The medium pie will still be the same size as the one you made originally, and the price will remain unchanged, still 2 copper coins."

"For a small pie of this level, you only need to make one-third of the size of a medium pie. Then the price can be set at 1 copper and 5 iron coins. If it is higher, it will also work, 1 copper 6 iron coins, 1 copper 7 iron coins.

Iron will do."

"Finally, you can make a pie of this level four to five times larger than a medium pie, and then set the price at 1 silver coin."

Round Cheese was still recording with paper and pen in his hand, but after waiting for a long time, he found that Ai Luo had stopped here? He held up the content he had recorded in confusion: "That's it?"

Ai Luo smiled back: "That's it."

"This is all nonsense! President Arrow, I regard you as a member of our Pelican Town, you can't play tricks on me like this!"

Ai Luo waved his hands quickly and said with a smile: "Boss, I said I would pay you back. If I fool you and wait until the first quarter is over, wouldn't I still have to pay you back? Don't worry, as long as you strictly follow what I say.

Pricing and sales volume will definitely go up. By the way, you don’t need to bake too many large and small ones, just make one or two every day, but when pricing, you must put them in the same position as the medium for promotion.

."

Seeing Ai Luo's confident expression, Round Cheese still looked very disbelieving.

But seeing that Ai Luo couldn't just run away after buying a house, the mayor agreed to the proposal and simply regarded himself as being deceived.

"After 90 days, if I don't earn two gold coins, then you can do whatever you want!"

"Hahaha, don't worry!"

After the relationship was settled, Ai Luo took Coco and left the mayor's office.

Walking on the street, the fresh air of the town made Ai Luo couldn't help but stretch. Coco walked with her, and the color in her eyes was really interesting.

"Why, do you think I'm perfunctory with Mr. Mayor?"

Looking at the question mark on the little girl's face, if she didn't answer her, she would probably keep thinking about it.

Coco nodded vigorously.

Ai Luo smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, if you were a customer and saw these three pies placed in front of you, what would you do?"

Cocoa: "Needless to say? The small one is only one-third of the size of the medium one, and the price is almost the same as the medium one. Although the big one is four or five times as big, it costs one silver coin! And such a big stuffing

I can’t finish the cake, it will definitely spoil.”

Ai Luo shook his finger: "So, you will also choose the middle one, right?"

Coco: "Isn't this the kind of specification that Mr. Mayor originally sells?"

Arrow: "That's right. But Coco, what I just asked you was 'What would you do', not 'Which one would you buy'? In fact, when faced with these three pies, you can choose one

Don’t buy either, turn around and leave. However, once humans are given a choice, they will often choose one of the options provided to you instead of choosing none.”

"This is the troublesome part of human thinking. We humans always want to take advantage, so when some options are presented in front of us, we will instinctively choose the option that is most suitable for us. But we never think that we can

Choose nothing.”

Walking on the gravel road, Ai Luo passed by a fruit stall, popped out an iron coin to the boss, and placed an apple in front of Coco: "If there is only one thing in front of you, then what the human mind thinks about is 'accept' or

'Do not accept' these two concepts."

Coco hesitated for a moment, but still lifted up her robe and wiped the apple.

"But if there are three or more choices in front of them, humans tend to choose from them and automatically ignore the option of 'not accepting'. Isn't it amazing? When I first learned this concept, I also felt

It’s amazing.”

Coco took a bite of the apple, and the fresh and sweet liquid flowed down the corners of her mouth. She quickly raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her mouth: "So...people who didn't come to buy pies in the past, after seeing such a choice of three,

You can’t help but want to buy one too?”

"Good point. Well, the tool store is here."

Entering the store and looking at the tools in the room, Ai Luo greeted the boss behind the counter energetically: "Boss Long Stick! How is the business?"

"Business is okay. What's going on today? Are you going to make weapons again?"

The slightly squat, bearded man raised his head from behind the counter, his slightly bald head covered with sawdust.

Coco was obviously a little scared when she saw the fierce look of Long Stick. She took a step back holding the apple and stood at the door.

This girl's little hottie mentality is really in conflict with her instinctive reaction of being afraid of everything she sees.

Ai Luo ignored her and said with a smile: "Is the thing I asked you to build last time good?"

Chang Guan nodded, turned around and went to the back of the store to search for a while, and soon handed over a wooden box.

"Your request is really strange, but it's not too difficult. One silver coin, thank you for your patronage."

After paying the money, Ai Luo walked out of the store with the box in his arms. Seeing Coco's confused look, Ai Luo smiled mysteriously: "Let's go, I'll show you when I get back."

I returned to the guild in the evening and looked at the notice board. There were still no tasks on it...

However, this is just the beginning.

"Brad, Buffy, Coco, come here. And you, Napa, as the vice-president of the guild, please come here too."

The cat was lying on the counter, still looking indifferent to Arrow. He called it three times before it flew over and landed on the dining table as if it was a sign of honor.

When everyone was together, Ai Luo opened the wooden box in his hand, took out two iron pieces with hanging ropes and handed them to Brad and Coco.

Brad looked at the piece of iron, frowned and said, "President, what is this? I'm illiterate, so I can't understand it well..."

Arrow smiled and said: "From now on, this is your guild's nameplate. It has your names, guilds and professions engraved on it. Brad, what is written on your nameplate is you and Buffy.

Their names belong to the Mermaid Song, and their professions are warriors."

"From now on, our guild needs further development. Everyone needs an identity authentication to show that we belong to the same guild. When you see this nameplate in the future, I hope everyone will remember that we are companions of the same guild, and we can also be in the same guild."

Family members who help each other in times of crisis and trust each other.”

Coco whispered: "I said before that we could deceive each other..."

Lengbuding Ailuo put his face in front of Coco, with a "smile" on his face: "Our magician, what do you think?"

"Yes! Yes! Family! Companions!"

The two guild members agreed, and Ai Luo happily took out his guild nameplate and hung it around his neck. Finally, he took out a collar with the nameplate on it and approached Napa with a smile.

"Don't tell me you don't wear one? This is the mark of all members of our guild. The vice-president must set an example."

Napa glanced at the collar and snorted: "Okay, okay, you're awesome. Wear this and you'll be fine."

"No, there is another problem."

Ai Luo helped Napa put on the collar and said with a smile: "Vice President, didn't you say you were willing to teach me alchemy before?"

Napa looked away: "Why, don't you want to learn?"

Ai Luo pulled Coco, who was still wearing the nameplate, over to him and gently pushed him in front of Napa: "But, we have a magician now. Can't you just teach her?"

Napa's expression wrinkled visibly. Similarly, Coco's current expression was not very soft.

The cat slowly floated in front of Coco. She looked at it up and down, then turned to Ai Luo: "Are you sure? Teach her? Don't you want to learn it yourself?"

Ai Luo put his hands on Coco's shoulders, patted her gently, and said with a sincere smile: "There is no problem at all. I believe in our members of Mermaid Song. If you teach her, it means I have learned it. Unless we

The magicians themselves expressed that they did not want to learn new knowledge."

Before Napa could continue, Ai Luo quickly interjected: "Hey, you promised me. It's also a teaching, you won't refuse, right?"

Napa was suspended in front of Arrow. It obviously hesitated for a while, then finally nodded and sighed: "Okay, I understand."

As for Coco, this girl has been confused since the beginning. She looked at Ai Luo and said nervously: "I... can I really learn alchemy? In the past in school... in the guild... I never...

No one said I could learn alchemy..."

Ai Luo turned to her and said with a smile: "So, are you willing to learn?"

"Of course! I want to learn!" Coco nodded vigorously, "I will definitely learn! Thank you, President... Thank you... Thank you very much, President! I will definitely study hard!"

With commitment, there will naturally be expectations.

With expectations, there will be hope and mutual links.

Aero is very happy that his guild is on the right track step by step.

Having a magician who is proficient in alchemy can save a guild a lot of purchasing costs.

Looking at Coco's current expression, which is mixed with emotion and nervousness, Ai Luo knows that his investment is definitely worth it!

Napa sighed, and it landed on Airl's head again, sat down on the hat, and said in its habitual lazy tone: "In that case, you can learn if you want. I will open one later.

List of alchemy tools that need to be purchased, and I hope the president can prepare them all. Hey, little Necromancer girl, you just said that you went to a magic school and joined a guild, right? Let me test you first to see how you understand magic.

To what extent. Brad, bring me the pen and paper."

Brad obediently moved the pen and paper, and Buffy thought for a while and said: "(Fairy language) Should Brad and I avoid it first? You don't want to be overheard when you teach alchemy, right?"

Napa looked bored and flicked her little cat paw: "(Fairy language) It's okay, it's not a profound knowledge. Besides, since your president trusts you, then I also trust you. President, I

Just write down what you said and let this little girl take the test."

Ai Luo translated Napa's trust and picked up paper and pen at the same time. Napa spoke while she wrote.

After writing it, Airl couldn't help but marvel at the subtlety of magic.

This subtlety was not because he understood it, but because although he knew every word, every number, and every formula symbol he wrote, after putting it together, he had no idea what it meant.

Obviously, the "basic" knowledge Napa talks about is much more advanced than the magic books in the Old Vine Tree Library!

But it may also be because I can only understand the most superficial magic books in the library.

"Okay, I'll give you two hours to do as much as you can. After you're done, I'll mark your papers to see which level is best for you to start with."

Ai Luo put the test paper and pen in front of Ai Luo and looked at Coco with a caring look. Although this child was a little rebellious, he was actually a good kid at heart.

Coco picked up the test paper and glanced up and down at the contents. Her brows wrinkled visibly. It looked like these questions must be difficult.

Ai Luo nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's all disperse now. Give our magicians some free space."

But at this moment, Coco, who was holding the test paper, raised her hands timidly and huddled her neck under the big robe again.

"What's wrong?" Arrow asked.

"I... have a little problem... Brother President."

Seeing Coco's troubled expression now, Ai Luo couldn't help but feel nervous.

Is it possible that he can’t do any of them?

Is this the cat deliberately asking some difficult questions and pretending to be "simple", or does it mean that Napa's magical knowledge is already so advanced?

"What's the problem? Is my handwriting unclear?"

Coco shook her head quickly. She raised the test paper, covered half of her face shyly, and said timidly——

"That... that... brother president's calligraphy is very beautiful... it's just... it's just..."

"Just what?" Ai Luo was a little anxious.

"It's just..." As if summoning up the last courage, Coco closed her eyes and said in a voice that was almost the same as the chirping of insects, "It's just... I can't read... I can't understand... that... I'm sorry
