Chapter 5: Otherworldly Voices In fact, the wooden box that Zhao Yannian sold to the merchant was not filled with anything special, just some thermometers and weights.
This kind of business has been done since Zhao Yannian was 10 years old.
Although the merchants were initially skeptical, a miracle happened when a chunky merchant tentatively sold the thermometer to a potions master.
As soon as the next morning dawned, the potions master smashed open the door of the merchant's house and bought the remaining thermometer and weights.
In fact, these things are all expected by Zhao Yannian, this world attaches great importance to personal strength, take the potions master as an example, because it is a sub-profession of magicians, so with the improvement of magician power, their spiritual power will also increase significantly.
Thus producing some abilities that ordinary people cannot imagine.
For example, it can accurately sense the temperature and weight of an object within a certain range.
The benefit of this ability for potions is to better grasp the ratio and temperature of potions to increase the success rate.
However, because mages are inherently rare animals, the higher the class level, the mages decrease geometrically.
There are more than 300 million humans in this world alone.
And in the entire Longmian Continent, with an area of nearly 100 million square kilometers, there are only 300,000 official magicians.
Among the 300,000 magicians, there are less than 20,000 archmages and above.
There are only six living legendary mages in the Dragon Sleep Continent.
Due to the scarcity of mages, the production of magic potions has been limited to a barely sufficient level.
And with Zhao Yannian's thermometer and weights, some low-level potions masters and even some apprentices have the possibility of configuring intermediate-level magic potions, which cannot be said to be a great initiative.
And the reason why Zhao Yannian sold thermometers and weights was also the result of careful consideration.
First of all, Zhao Yannian, as an alchemist, needs a lot of money to buy materials, and the crafting technology of thermometers and weights is not a secret thing.
Any mid-level alchemist can figure out the production method after taking a look, although this will make Zhao Yannian lose his monopoly position, but it also saves Zhao Yannian a lot of trouble.
After all, in the travel novel, every time the pig's feet sell something good, there will always be people who come to snatch it.
Of course, these are superficial reasons, but in fact, Zhao Yannian's sale of thermometers and weights has a deeper meaning, that is, to let people in this world understand the importance of standards.
Once the standard is in place, an apprentice can do things that were previously only possible with intermediate mages.
When there is a standard, it doesn't take much ingenuity to learn a lot from certain data variations under the same standard.
This is also Zhao Yannian's first step in realizing his life goals in this world.
A person who has lived in the civilized world for nearly 30 years will not get used to living in another world!
Here you basically go out by walking, contact is basically by roaring, you want to listen to songs and hum by yourself, and if you want to eat meat, you have to pluck your own hair.
Although these are not used to it, as long as you have the money and strength, you can solve it by recruiting a bunch of maids and concubines.
But Zhao Yannian didn't want to use that way to make himself live a happy life.
Zhao Yannian didn't know if he would live for decades or hundreds of years in the future.
But if he only gives this other world conquest and destruction when he dies, this is something that Zhao Yannian hates in his heart.
Zhao Yannian, who has read Capital and studied Ma Zhe's thoughts, believes that as long as he greatly improves the productivity of the world by disseminating knowledge, the world will inevitably change.
Although it is not necessary to fight the landlords to make a revolution and overthrow the emperor himself, it is still possible to create a more comfortable world.
Briefly sorted out the alchemy materials that I purchased.
Zhao Yannian left the Mage Tower and waited for Luna's arrival at the gate of the magic school.
The Soul Pulling Concentric Technique can create a certain amount of mental induction between Zhao Yannian and Luna.
As long as the distance is no more than 10 kilometers, Zhao Yannian and Luna can have a brief conversation through the Soul Pulling Concentric Technique.
Of course, this kind of conversation requires mental energy, so Luna, as a warrior with a low spirit, rarely takes the initiative to contact Zhao Yannian, and most of Zhao Yannian's words will only get a brief response such as En, Ah.
Of course, Zhao Yannian is not disgusted by this way of dialogue, isn't this the three-no girl in the previous life, of course, Luna still has breasts, although it is not big, well, cough ......
In less than 10 minutes, Luna appears on the path leading to the hillside behind the school.
The two didn't say anything when they met, and walked directly in the direction of Dante City.
The closer the spiritual connection of the Soul Pulling Concentric Technique, the greater the power, and when Zhao Yannian and Luna are together, the two can even reach a state of intimacy.
Sometimes, when Zhao Yannian needed an assistant in the alchemy lab, Luna would also help.
At that time, even the old mage who had seen the world would be amazed, the two were simply a natural pair, and the tacit understanding of childhood sweethearts was really strong and so on.
The Academy of Magic is not far from Dante City, only about three thousand meters away, and as long as you walk ten minutes from the magic school, you can come to the avenue leading to the nearby city of Dante City.
These are the townspeople and villagers from the neighborhood who went to the market.
Most of them start their journey in the morning, and some remote places even start to rush to Dent before dawn.

Some of the villagers who drove the carriage also carried a lot of local products, dried nuts, skins of low-level demonic beasts, and some handicrafts on the cart.
The boy who had long since changed into ordinary linen clothes and the girl in shabby leather armor did not attract much attention from these fellow travelers.
After walking for less than 5 minutes, Zhao Yannian shamelessly got into a carriage and pulled Luna and jumped up together.
The villagers in the car were very welcome to the young man with a cheerful smile and the innocent and beautiful girl, and even an aunt took out a handful of nuts and stuffed them into Zhao Yannian's hand.
Zhao Yannian, who felt that he was becoming more and more inclined to be a killer of his grandmother, thanked him generously.
Shoved half of the nuts to Luna, cleared her throat and began singing.
In Aiya Ikrina, that madman's village, yes, the brave shoemaker Midby!
Hold a hammer in your right hand and a small nail in your left hand.
Brave and merry cobbler Middleby!
To be a shoemaker, though a very brave lad, little Berrigie, if he walked out of his window, he could only do it with his left foot in two or two that day, babbling hey!
Little Berrigie, if you walk out of his window, you can only do it with your right foot two by two that day, babbling hey!
So the kind little Beric always walks and walks back and forth twice, so in Aiya Iklina, the village of madmen, whether it is a grandfather, a child, or a cold lady, of course, they all have two pairs of leather shoes!
The lyrics of this witty and humorous song are taken from one of Zhao Yan's favorite fantasy novels in his previous life, in which the protagonist sings happily with his companions in a tavern.
However, since books can't convey sound, Zhao Yannian adapted it to the popular bard repertoire.
And the lyrics that were not written in the book were completed.
"Hey!
Little bard, sing so well, one more!
The pedestrians who were in a hurry applauded Zhao Yannian loudly.
Zhao Yannian also stood up from the carriage without any twist, and sang loudly while clapping the beat.
Because Zhao Yannian would repeat each bar twice, some pedestrians who could sing soon followed suit.
Cheerful singing drifted on the road, and it seemed that even the afternoon sun was no longer fierce.
As Zhao Yannian sang about Midby's brave run to hunt dragons in order to find the finest leather for leather shoes.
The merchant's camp was already in sight.
Zhao Yannian jumped out of the carriage and waved to everyone on the carriage, then pulled Luna into the crowd that had already gathered in the market.
Although it was a little regrettable for the passers-by who did not finish the singing, since they had reached their destination, everyone naturally had their own things to do.
So no one wants to leave boys and girls behind.
It is said that Zhao Yannian and Luna, who entered the market, stopped and stopped, lingering by various stalls.
Although Zhao Yannian is already familiar with the bazaar as his own home.
However, Zhao Yannian still likes this lively atmosphere.
This atmosphere full of life is different from playing alone in the forest, and it is also different from doing penance in the magic tower like an ascetic.
Only in this noisy crowd can Zhao Yannian feel that he is still a human being, not the junior magician who lacks magic power, nor the revenant soul who keeps copying items from his past life in the metal pile all day long.
Here, Zhao Yannian is just a teenager who likes to be lively, an ordinary person wandering in the crowd with his beloved girl.
That's all.
