Chapter 66: Copper can also be generous

　　 Beta Town is a small town outside Alpha Academy.
　　The rich and bold senior wizards of the First University are the best customers in the minds of all merchants in the wizarding world. Those young and immature students in the school are the best choice for cultivating loyal customers.
　　 However, the heavily guarded First University is not a good place for business. Strict security agreements restricted the logistics of businessmen, and high school rents swallowed businessmen's profits.
　　 But capital is fleeing wars and disputes again-its nature is timid. Far away from the wizarding world of the first university, peace appears fragile. Any savvy monster will not hesitate to waste some of his cannon fodder, break the paper defenses of those small bazaars, and plunder the rich loot in the market.
　　 So, the merchants in the wizarding world chose a compromise under the dual threats of demons and profits.
　　 They opened a market outside the defensive circle of the four colleges of the first university.
　　 I have to say, this is indeed a good way.
　　The capable monsters disdain to rob a few shops at the risk of being an enemy of the first university; the incompetent monsters will not use their lives to test the range of the first university's defense circle for a little gold.
　　 As for the first university, I don’t care if a few businessmen shelter under their own wings. In fact, many old professors at the school hope to use the power of the school to shelter more weak wizards.
　　 With the passage of time, the merchants started to fade away in three markets outside the four colleges.
　　 The tall walls of Jiuyou College restrict students' access, and the abundance of materials in the college dwarfs the products of merchants. The neglect of the gates gradually caused the merchants to abandon this chicken rib market.
　　Atlas students are used to a pure-hearted life. Regarding the colorful products on the bazaar outside the college, they see it more as a holy temper. When the merchants found that not only could they not sell a copper product, but because the monks who came to collect donations from time to time were spending money, they decisively gave up this loss-making market.
　　 The bazaar outside the Star Academy was destroyed time and time again in the unscrupulous brawls of the students, so that those merchants with a temperate temperament and a long-sighted would no longer want to throw a copper into this land. This bazaar went bankrupt.
　　 Only Alpha Academy, adhering to the concept of freedom, allows the market to slowly rise outside the castle moat.
　　 As time passed slowly, this small town gradually grew and became the only commercial town attached to the first university.
　　 Following Nicholas, the freshmen listened to the history of Beta Town briefly described by the old student Mawei, felt the prosperity of the town, and sighed.
　　 "Who is under the jurisdiction of this town now?" Zheng Qing couldn't help asking: "Do merchants in the town still need to pay taxes? Are there any requirements for opening a shop in the town?"
"The town belongs to the school, and the school work committee manages taxation. Although the school does not care about this tax, the rules are the rules. Every businessman who opens a shop in the town needs to pay a jade coin to the school every year." , Nicholas stopped in front of a juggler who was playing cards on the side of the road.
　　 Zheng Qing lowered his head thoughtfully, and stopped.
　　 Scholarships for government-funded students are very limited. According to Thomas, those bonuses are only enough for Zheng Qing to complete the required courses in school. If he wants to take two more elective courses, he needs to find a way to raise funds for the purchase of teaching materials and experimental materials. Not to mention the re-study fees that must be paid if compulsory courses are suspended.
　　Be prepared and not troubled has always been Zheng Qing's motto, and he will not make hurried plans when things happen.
　　 Making money, this thing that is far away from other students, began to weigh heavily on him.
　　 Listening to Nicholas’ introduction, Zheng Qing moved a little.
　　 If you open a small shop in the town, you can solve your troubles fundamentally.
　　Young people are always full of ambition and impulse.
　　 He did not consider operating issues such as costs and benefits; nor did he consider what business to make money; he did not even think about whether the principal of his own shop was sufficient and whether he had time to run the shop.
　　 He just feels that opening a small shop can make him worry-free.
　　 Then it was decided happily.
　　 The sound of copper clanging and clinking interrupted his thoughts and reveries.
　　 Zheng Qing raised his head.
　　 Nicholas is throwing a handful of copper into the box in front of the magician.
　　 The magician was standing on a dark corner of the street, with a rusty iron box in front of him. If you don't look closely, it's hard to spot him. The wizards who came and went gaze from the corner of the wall, disdain to stay in this shadow for a second.
　　 He is wearing an old brown robe with thick patches on the corners of the robe and a top-pointed hat. The long beard and messy hair cover his face, Zheng Qing can only see a pair of focused but muddy eyes on his face.
　　He focused on the playing cards in his hand.
　　 Solitaire briskly jumped between his fingers, bringing out layers of ghost images. His fingertips swiftly rubbed, making a string of crisp fingers. With each snapping, a string of cards disappeared; with each snapping, another stack of cards popped out of the void.
　　 The clear collision of copper and iron box awakened the magician.
　　 He raised his muddy eyes, looked at the tall and thin figure in front of him, and put away all the playing cards:
　　 "Merlin bless you, my benevolent master."
　　 The old magician clumsily gave a wizard's meeting ceremony, his voice was a bit excited and disturbed. Then he remade his hands together, and countless playing cards rushed out from all directions, building a gorgeous castle in front of Nicholas.
　　 "This is what Alpha Castle looks like!" a freshman shouted excitedly.
　　 The crisp snaps sounded endlessly.
　　 The cards collapsed gorgeously, and then another building was piled up quickly.
　　 "This is Jiuyou Academy!" another freshman yelled, "That's the Bishop's Building! There is also Shushan Hall!"
　　 "The shadow wall of the vestibule!"
　　 "There are still walls around!"
　　 These Jiuyou freshmen are very excited~EbookFREE.me~ pointing to those buildings that have just had a little impression in their memory.
　　 "If his craftsmanship still satisfies you, then you should show corresponding generosity." Nicholas reminded glumly behind them.
　　 The newcomers are waking up from a dream, and they donate generously.
　　The hat in front of the old juggler was quickly filled with shiny copper.
　　 It can be seen that these coppers frightened the old man.
　　 The crisp snapping sound stopped abruptly, and the Jiuyou Academy collapsed.
　　 "This is the value of your craft." Nicholas respectfully returned a wizard gift to the old magician, turned around and left.
　　 The other freshmen are a bit at a loss.
　　Some freshmen also bowed awkwardly to the old man, but more freshmen chased after Nicholas who left quickly.
　　 Zheng Qing nodded friendly to the old man, and left quickly.
　　 Behind him, the old magician covered his face and cried silently.
　　 Not far away, there was a rush and excited voice of the freshman's guidance:
　　 "The school did not ask me to show you around this street."
　　 "But I think you have to remember something before you study."
　　 "You are new students who know nothing, so you still retain respect for this craftsman."
　　 "I hope you remember this respect."
　　 "I hope you don't forget this respect because of other people's eyes."
　　 "The wizarding world is not only made up of the arduous experiments and powerful professors in the first university."
　　 "There are many weak wizards and simple tricks."
　　 "To them, Tongzi is also very generous."
