Feng Qi held a very fine white paper in his hand. On it were written the title "Reading Club Charter" in neat magic script. Below these words were lines of detailed instructions, divided into three major sections: general rules, obligations, and rights.
General Principles:
The reading club requires recommendations from two members and can only join after being reviewed and approved by the president or vice president.
The reading club will hold a reading activity every three days at the residence of the president, Master Xiao Chen, and provide dinner and accommodation...
obligation:
Members must agree to the sharing principle within the club and recommend and share their own reading materials and experiences with others during each activity.
Members are required to attend the reading club activities every three days. If they are absent, they need to ask for leave.
To join the club, you need to pay a monthly membership fee of one silver coin per month. All membership fees will be used for reading club activities, and the use of membership fees must be disclosed to all members...
right:
Members can use the magic dictionary included in the reading club.
Members can use the book club’s magic model tool.
Members can attend the president and vice president's magic text learning courses, which are held after each reading club event.
Members can read the magic books collected by the reading club
The reading club is a permanent member of the Kingdom Magic Association, and gives priority to answering members' questions about magic...
Feng Qi read one by one, and the more he read, the more he felt that this reading club was a very interesting place. Apart from other benefits, just being able to answer questions at any time was something that mages like them who read little and knew limited magic words dreamed of. Not to mention the benefits such as the magic dictionary.
As for the monthly fee of one silver coin, it is completely negligible for a mage. Any service provided by the reading club is far more than this price.
Are these benefits really as good as they appear on paper
Feng Qi looked up and saw Xiao Chen smilingly pushing a thick book in front of him. The cover of the book was red with a few slightly sloppy words written on it. Feng Qi carefully identified them and finally found that they were the words "Modern Chinese Dictionary".
"Modern? Chinese? What is this?"
"Modern means now. In my country, magic language is called Chinese. This is a magic language dictionary." Xiao Chen explained.
Feng Qi opened the dictionary and found that the pages were very thin and the characters were very fine. He didn't know how they were written. He flipped through the contents randomly and found that they were vast. He flipped to a page and happened to see a word that had always troubled him, so he read it intently. For this word, there was not only an explanation, but also various examples of its use, which made him instantly understand the different meanings of this word. Although the content of the example text happened in other countries and there were some parts that he couldn't understand. But it was still of great help to him.
As he read on, he couldn't help but learn each word one by one.
Xiao Chen was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for him. However, Tashia in the same room couldn't help but smile. When she saw the book, she had the same expression. And what she thought in her heart was that for an ordinary magician, the value of this book might far exceed the Holy Book of the Tower of Origin in her hand.
After reading a page, Feng Qi suddenly realized that he was still in an "interview". He closed the dictionary and asked, "Sir Xiao Chen, I am very interested in joining the club. But there is one thing I don't quite understand. What is the ultimate goal of this reading club?"
"I have been in the Magic Association for more than a month. I have seen many talented young wizards who do not get resources, are not valued, and even have difficulty getting enough guidance. I think this is very unfair, don't you think? Feng Qi."
"You're right. But it has been like this for many years."
"So, I am also a mid-level wizard, without a prominent background of the royal family or the nobility, and I can empathize with these situations. Fortunately, I have a wizard castle behind me to support me in doing some things. So I want to make some changes. We should unite and make the resources in our hands more valuable. Moreover, as a whole, we will be more confident when facing others."
"I agree with Master Xiao Chen's idea. I have always believed that mages can share knowledge and experience. So the Alonso family and I are willing to support this matter. I will share some of the Alonso family's information, secrets and spells in the reading club," said Tasya.
Tasia is a real celebrity in the Magic Association. She is young, beautiful, noble, and extremely talented. She is already a mid-level wizard in her early twenties. However, her image in the Magic Association is very cold, so most magicians do not have the courage and opportunity to contact her, but this does not prevent her from becoming the goddess in the hearts of many male wizards.
With her expressing her support for Xiao Chen on this occasion, Feng Qi's feeling of uneasiness was instantly alleviated.
Feng Qi was even more shocked by her willingness to share the family's resources. In this day and age, besides the Magic Association, there were some common things that could be found in the library. Which tower and which family didn't cherish their own resources? Feng Qi suddenly had a premonition that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he seized it, his future cultivation path would be completely different.
But he still had one last question: "Ms. Tasia, Mr. Xiao Chen, I really admire your ambition and generosity. I wonder what the attitude of the Magic Association and the Royal Magic Tower is towards this matter?"
"The Magic Association has no attitude towards this matter." Tashia said, "You know, there is no shortage of small organizations in the Magic Association. Whether it is a society that studies specific magic or a team that explores together, how is our reading club different?"
"However, Master Kona, the master of the Spirit Refining Tower, supports this matter." Xiao Chen added.
After hearing this, Feng Qi's doubts were gone. He stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you both for your recommendation. I am willing to join the reading club."
After Feng Qi left, Tasia curled her lips and said, "Xiao, this guy is a cowardly guy. He asked so many questions before joining the club, as if he would run away if there was any trouble in the reading club. What's the point of recruiting such a person?"
"We are just forming a small organization that can have extensive contact with young mages. We are not organizing a private army. People like Feng Qi may be the main force of the reading club." Xiao Chen smiled, "Besides, why talk about loyalty before giving any benefits to others?"
"Okay, we have recruited three people, including our first three. When will we start the first reading activity?"
"Why not schedule it for tomorrow?"
