Chapter 380 New Ability: Enlightenment
While talking, Gothe and Flora had already arrived in front of the Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store.
Step into it.
The interior of the Magic Materials Store seems a bit empty, with not many items on the shelves.
"Sir." As soon as he saw Gothe come in, Joel, the young employee who was in charge of the Wal-Mart magic material store, quickly came over to greet him.
"Joel, take out all the tree species and magic tree species purchased in the store during this period." Gothe nodded slightly and ordered at the same time.
"Okay, sir." Joel responded and walked towards the small warehouse at the back.
Gaode glanced at the store casually.
It is noon now, but there is not a single customer in the store, which is completely deserted.
"This is my shop here, specially set up to collect tree species for Lady Flora." Gothe didn't care, but Flora said softly, looking sideways and curiously.
「Specialized~」 Flora’s eyes were bright.
Flora-sama will repeat something when she doesn’t understand or feels happy.
As for whether you don't understand or are happy, you can tell it based on the tone of voice.
Obviously, I am happy now.
"Yes." Gaode affirmed.
"That's how it should be." Flora said.
"That's how it should be~" Gao De said.
Flora began to look around more and more curiously.
"Mage, is the business very bad?" Once she knew that this shop was specially opened to collect tree seeds for her, Flora, who had a sense of ownership, found that there were no customers in the shop, and she suddenly became anxious.
"Yes."
"Why?" Flora tilted her head and asked seriously.
"Because there is nothing in the store that can attract customers." Gothe thought for a while and said honestly.
"Then Master, please invite the fish fryer to the store." Lady Flora thought about it seriously and then came up with an idea.
"Although fish and chips are delicious, they can't attract too many customers." Gothe, who understood Flora's meaning, smiled and said that in fact, it could only attract children and Flora.
"That's it~"
"Don't worry, Flora, I will find a way." Gao De comforted her.
"Oh~" Hearing Gothe say this, the little man breathed a sigh of relief - because Lady Flora really couldn't think of a way!
At this time, Joel had already put the seeds in various containers and cloth bags into a basket and took them out of the warehouse.
"Sir," after he handed the basket to Gothe, he glanced at Gothe carefully, hesitated, and then said tentatively: "The store still doesn't have any magic materials for so long. Apart from purchasing tree species, no business has been done, let alone income."
There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.
A normal magic materials store actually has two main businesses, namely the acquisition and sale of magic materials.
Under normal circumstances, magic materials are purchased at half price and sold at full price.
The main purpose of the magic material store is to make money from the price difference.
However, the current business of Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store does not include the acquisition of magic materials.
Of course, there is a reason for this.
The magic material store is no different than a grocery store, it has much higher quality requirements for its employees.
Literacy, writing and numeracy skills are the most basic.
What's more important is that you must have a certain knowledge of magic materials and be able to initially judge the value of various magic materials.
It is not required to be very accurate, but at least it is necessary to have this ability.
But talents like this are not that easy to find even in Dorne City, and they are a scarce resource.
The main reason is that Gaode's "Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store" is too small and looks like it will close down at any time.
No matter in what world or in what era, workers tend to prefer large companies.
Firstly, it is stable and has good welfare, and secondly, there is room for improvement.
This is the consensus.
How can real talents come to a small shop like his that has not yet opened and has a slim future?
Hence why no one paid attention to the recruitment notice posted by Amap at first.
After four or five days of this, Gaode finally came to his senses and learned from the pain.
He directly adjusted the business scope of the magic material store to reduce the ability requirements of employees.
Before the store expands, the business of Wal-Mart's magic material store will only include the sale of magic materials, tree species, and the purchase of magic tree species.
As for the Shuzhong acquisition business, AutoNavi has also set a clear standard in advance.
He made a list of the tree species he already had. Any tree species that were not on the list would be purchased at a price of fifty coppers each, and then added to the list.
As for the magic tree species, we did not choose the species, but set a uniform price: the first-level magic tree species had a uniform price of 6 gold and 5 silver, the second-level magic tree species cost 30 gold, and the third-level magic tree species cost 140 gold.
Collect as much as you have.
After abandoning the business of purchasing magic materials, and there are standards to follow when purchasing tree species, the ability requirements for store clerks have dropped sharply.
In addition, the salary offered by Amap was not low, so it was easy to recruit an employee, namely Joel.
An apprentice who used to work in a large magic materials shop in Dorne City, a very motivated "country boy".
Joel's parents are farmers in a small town near Dorne City, and they make a living by relying on their family's thin fields.
But Joel did not want to spend his whole life farming like his parents. When he was sixteen years old, he resolutely came to the city of Dorne and entered a magic material shop as an apprentice.
During his apprenticeship, he gradually mastered some skills such as commodity classification, weighing, inventory management, and dealing with people, and he also had a faint understanding of magic materials.
Although it was only superficial, it also benefited him a lot and gave him a certain "ambition" for the future.
He wants to delve deeper into this field.
The house that Joel rents happens to be in the East End, and he passes by the old Harlem grocery store every day.
That day, when he passed by as usual, he saw the employee recruitment notice posted by Gaode at the entrance of the magic material store that had been renamed Wal-Mart.
Large magic material stores are relatively stable, but their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the division of labor is too clear, there is very little he can learn, and the chances of getting ahead are too small.
For example, if he wants to become a formal store clerk, a rural boy like him who has no foundation or skills will have to work as an apprentice for at least five or six years before he has the opportunity.
Although Gaode's Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store is small in scale and has an unknown future, it is a door to new opportunities for him and a very good platform for training and growth.
Hence, he made another decision that was as important as his choice to come to Dorne when he was sixteen.
Joel decided to quit his job as an apprentice in the original magic materials store and come to Gaode's Wal-Mart magic materials store.
It's just that he is too young, even a small store like Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store may not be able to take a fancy to him.
Joel took the initiative to ask Gaode to take a salary cut in order to work in the Wal-Mart Magic Materials Store.
This moved Gaode.
It was not that he was short of salary, but mainly because of Joel's proactive attitude and his willingness to pay for opportunities, which made him feel that Joel had great potential and was willing to give him a chance.
In this world, civilians with strong ambition and subjective initiative like Joel are very rare.
"I have contacted an acquaintance and will bring a batch of magic materials over in a few days." Gothe said.
Hence, he carried the basket filled with tree seeds and walked towards the living area upstairs.
I also took Flora to visit Dorne City for a long time, and it was time to return to the North.
In the room.
"I have to offend Lady Flora and go to the dark room for a while." Gothe said softly.
"Okay~" Lady Flora is considerate.
Gothe canceled [Summoning Demon Pet] again.
Then, as his thoughts flashed, colorful brilliance poured out from the silver runes on the back of his hand like mercury.
These brilliance gradually condensed into an astral portal.
Gaode stepped into it, and his figure quickly disappeared.
The astral portal also dissipated, leaving no trace.
Dang Dang Dang!
The sound of the blades, as sweet as the sound of wind chimes, sounded the moment Gothe's figure appeared.
Yugathila immediately welcomed Gothe's return.
Gothe ignored his still somewhat chaotic body and immediately cast [Summon Demon Pet] to pull Flora out of the "little dark room".
If it's later, Lady Flora will lose her temper.
Afterwards, Gothe raised his head and looked up at Yogathila.
In Lagos City, he received feedback from Yugathila, thus breaking through the upper limit of the mental power of a first-level mage.
At that time, Gothe knew that Yugathira must have been promoted, and the change was not small.
This is also true.
Yugatsheela, who was originally no more than sixteen feet tall, can be said to have grown by more than half.
The trunk of the tree has also become thicker, and the bark is like ancient dragon scales tightly embedded in each other.
The leaves are also a little wider, surrounded by mysterious astral energy.
On the surface of the earth, you can still see a small part of the tree roots of Yugathila, which are like the giant claws of a dragon bird, deeply piercing into the soil and extending in all directions. While absorbing the nutrients of the earth, it is also transforming the earth.
This is only an appearance change visible to the naked eye, but more changes are reflected in deeper levels and are difficult to detect.
Gothe put his hand on the tree trunk of Yugathila, and in an instant, an extremely deep connection was established.
He quickly grasped the specific changes of Yugathila.
【Yugathira】
Level: Second-level magic plant (19/5568)
Growth gain coefficient: 42——>96
Height: 16 feet --> 22 feet
Land magic power concentration: 24-35 (basic spiritual land) --> 46-72 (first-level spiritual land)
The most conspicuous thing is naturally the upgrade from the first-level magic plant to the second-level magic plant.
The changes in growth gain coefficient and lifespan increase are all expected and will not be mentioned in detail.
What brought Gothe an unexpected surprise was that the charging time required for astral teleportation was actually shortened from 60 days to 45 days.
It should be that as the level of Yugathira increases, the rate at which it absorbs astral energy also increases.
This means that Gothe can travel between the Plantagenet Kingdom and the North more frequently.
Furthermore, as Yugathra's level continues to increase, the charging time of astral teleportation continues to shorten. One day in the future, maybe he can use astral teleportation multiple times in a day?
This bright prospect makes Gothe feel a little excited.
As for the increase in the area of the opened field and the official concentration of the land's magic power reaching the level of a first-order spiritual land, although it is also a happy event, it was expected by Gaode, so it is not a surprise.
So he thought that was the end of it.
As a result, Yogatha Sheila conveyed a message, which made Gothe startled at first, and then his eyes lit up:
After being promoted to a second-level magic plant, Yogatha Sheila awakened another special ability.
Special abilities like astral teleportation.
It's just that this special ability can't be used yet, so Gaode didn't feel it.
【Enlightenment】.
This is the new ability awakened by Yugathila.
The specific function is also very simple and straightforward:
Yogathila can enlighten trees that are more than five hundred years old in the opened area, giving them the opportunity to spiritually awaken, gain wisdom, and become tree people.
Powerful enough to have the abilities of some supermodels.
This is close to creating a race.
It is a pity that within the territory opened by Yugathila, there is not even a tree that is fifty years old, let alone a tree that is five hundred years old.
Obviously, this is a great late-stage skill, and it is also in line with the longevity of the tree itself.
But it is not true that we have to wait until five hundred years before [Enlightenment] can take effect.
Because there is also the existence of the "Green Wood Sutra of Immortality".
By practicing the "Green Wood Sutra of Immortality", you can gain the ability to use the art of nature and consume your own mana to spawn plants.
This is precisely linked to Yugathira's [Enlightenment] ability.
The art of nature brings about the growth of trees that are five hundred years old, and are then enlightened by Yugathira.
When he thought of this, Gao De couldn't help but sigh at the ingenious fate.
"Aoki Immortality Sutra" and Yugathira's complement each other, like a pair made in heaven.
"My King!" Over here, Elder Gaien has already rushed over.
Gothe turned his attention away from Yugathira and looked around.
Not only Yugathila has undergone tremendous changes, this temporary camp has also undergone obvious changes.
First of all, there are many new saplings sprouting around, and there are several saplings with magic flowing around them.
It is the same batch of tree species that Gaode brought back to the northern border last time.
The second one is the outermost circle of saplings, which have risen from the ground and grown into adult trees more than thirty feet tall.
There was no need for Gaode to ask, Elder Gein had already taken the initiative to introduce Gaode very discerningly.
"These trees were spawned by the War Mother's order. The War Mother said that Valar Bay will begin to welcome outsiders, and the sacred tree must be protected.
So while expanding the camp and establishing a fence, the outermost saplings must also be spawned. When they grow up, they will be able to cover the holy tree so that others cannot see Yogathira from the outside."
"During this period, there should be a ship arriving at Valar Bay, right?" Gothe asked what he was most concerned about at the moment.
"Yes, my king, just half a month ago, a ketch sailed into Varar Bay."
It really arrived smoothly!
While Gao De was happy, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
There are too many surprises in sea voyages, let alone taking a route without a clear map. Gothe has never been sure whether the Columbus can successfully reach Valar Bay.
"Where are the people on the boat now?" Gothe asked again.
"My King, the two women and craftsmen you have entrusted to you have been taken to Phoenix. As for the other crew members, they are temporarily staying on the ship. The War Mother did not allow them to go ashore, saying that they would make arrangements after you come back."
"I understand." Gothe nodded again.
Sunaifa handles things, which is really reassuring.
