This year's Lampali Kingdom Magician Guild Qualification Certification Assessment is likely to be the largest ever.
According to statistics from the Magicians Guild, the number of magicians who signed up for the assessment this year actually exceeded 8,000!
You know, the total number of magicians in the entire Lampali Kingdom is only just over 10,000.
In other words, the number of magicians who came to participate in the assessment this time actually accounted for nearly 80% of the total number of magicians in the entire Lampali Kingdom!
Although the total number of magicians who participated in the assessment last year was close to 5,000, and there were initial signs of this, the number of magicians who participated in the assessment this year suddenly exceeded 8,000, which immediately caused the Lampali Kingdom Magician Union to rise and fall. They are all very busy.
If President Allen hadn't made a plan in advance, I'm afraid this serious qualification assessment would have plunged the Magicians' Union into chaos.
However, despite the preparations, due to the substantial increase in the number of people participating in the assessment, the originally scheduled assessment time of one week was forced to be extended to half a month.
Even though the time has more than doubled, the process of participating in the assessment every day is still extremely tight, so that the staff of the Magician Union must be at work all day long, with almost no time for rest. However, no one had any complaints about this, because unlike previous years, during the qualification certification assessment this year, President Allen announced that during the qualification certification assessment period, in view of the increased workload, every staff member would be Special financial subsidies will be provided, with the tentative standard being two gold coins per person per day.
If you pay two gold coins a day, it will take half a month. This means that you can get an additional thirty gold coins subsidy.
This is a huge amount of income for all the staff of the Magician's Guild. Naturally, their enthusiasm for work is particularly high. No matter how busy the work was during this period, no one complained. Instead, they worked extremely hard and conscientiously, making the qualification certification examination go very smoothly with few mistakes.
"I'm talking to President Allen, even the ordinary staff have special subsidies, so should we great magicians also get some subsidies?" Great Magician Aisenka asked Ai, who was sitting in the first place. President Lun joked.
President Allen laughed: "Esenka, don't be joking. With your wealth, do you still need to ask me for a subsidy of dozens of gold coins? Besides, it's not easy for our Magician's Guild to have such a subsidy this year. Some of the savings will be used to improve the welfare of the staff. As a great magician, you shouldn’t fight with them about this, right?” Many people, including the great magician Camilla, sat on the other side. All the great magicians laughed.
Here is a meeting held by five great magicians regarding the qualification assessment of the Magician Guild. They mainly discussed the content of the senior magician qualification assessment at the end of the qualification certification assessment.
When Grand Magician Isenka heard President Allen explain how to solve the pressure brought by the increase in workload on the staff, he couldn't help but make a joke.
"Speaking of which, why does our Magician's Guild still have some surplus money this year? In previous years, didn't we have to rely on special allocations from the Federation of Trade Unions to barely make it through?" Grand Magician Truchi asked curiously.
"Speaking of it, this is mainly because of Xu Yi's contribution." President Allen looked at Camilla, the great magician who was habitually silent, and smiled: "If it weren't for the magic patent he proposed, how could our union have any Where’s the remaining money?”
"Oh? So there are many magicians applying for magic patents?" Great Magician Torres also asked curiously.
"That's right." President Allen nodded. "According to last month's statistics, the total number of magic patent applications registered with the union has reached more than 13,000, and the patent insurance costs involved exceed 200,000 gold coins."…
"So many?" Great Magician Truchi and Great Magician Torres both looked surprised.
But the great magician Essenka frowned: "Isn't this a bit too little? The total insurance cost of many patents with more than 13,000 words is only more than 200,000 gold coins. On average, the protection of a patent Isn’t the cost less than two gold coins?”
President Allen chuckled and said: "Because some magicians apply for very low insurance fees for their patents, and they don't even pay a single gold coin in patent protection fees."
"Then what are they applying for?" Great Magician Truchi said in astonishment: "Such a low insurance fee cannot protect you at all."
"You don't understand this." The great magician Torres laughed. "Truchi, it is very popular now to apply for patent protection for the magic you have developed. Even I have applied for more than a dozen. Of course, the patent protection fee I paid is not much. It adds up to about It’s less than a hundred gold coins.”
"Why?" Archmage Truchi was a little confused. "Why apply if it's not necessary?"
"To put it bluntly, it's just for the sake of face." Archmage Torres said. "Think about it, there are two magicians, one of them has more than a dozen special magic patents, and the other doesn't have even one. Would you think that the level of magicians without magic patents is lower?"
"This..." Archmage Truchi thought for a while and nodded slightly. "That seems to be the case."
"So, now many magicians have begun to regard the number of magic patents they can apply for as a very important symbol. Truchi, I advise you to apply for some as soon as possible, otherwise by the time we all have more than a dozen When you have one or dozens of magic patents, but you don’t have one, does that make you feel something is wrong? "
The great magician Truchi smiled bitterly: "That's true. It seems that I have to think about it carefully." Then he turned to look at the great magicians Aisenka and Camilla. "What about you? Even Torres has applied for more than a dozen magic patents. You two only have more, right? It's a lot of words."
The great magician Aisenka smiled slightly: "I don't have much, I only applied for thirty-two magic patents. However, I paid a patent protection fee of three thousand gold coins for these thirty-two magic patents, but it is more than A little more Torres.”
"How can I be richer than you?" Torres rolled his eyes.
The great magician Aisenka laughed loudly, pointed at the great magician Camilla and said: "If you really want to be rich, even I can't compare to Camilla now. I'm sure that Camilla applied He probably has the most magic patents among us, and he also pays the most patent protection fees.”
Including President Allen, the other four great magicians all focused their attention on the great magician Camilla.
Great Magician Camilla shook her head slowly: "My current identity is a special researcher of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Magic Research Institute. Even if I apply for a magic patent, it is applied in the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, not my personal name. I paid Of course, the patent protection fees are paid by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and have nothing to do with me.”
"The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is so rich, it must have paid a lot of patent protection fees, right? Quite a few words," Torres asked.
"I don't know about this, because Xu Yi asked people to handle these things, and I have no control over them." Camilla, the great magician, replied.
Everyone looked at President Allen again.
President Allen coughed lightly, glanced at the great magician Camilla, nodded and said: "Yes, all magic patents applied for by magicians in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce are applied in the name of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. So I don’t even know which magic patent was developed by Camilla, but I do know that among the total of 563 magic patents applied for by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the one with the highest patent protection fee was paid. , but paid a full 10,000 gold coins!”…
"Ten thousand gold coins?" Even the great magician Aisenka stared wide-eyed, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. "Just for a magic patent?"
"Yes." President Allen nodded.
The great magician Aisenka was moved in his heart and asked again: "Then... President, what is this magic patent?"
President Allen shook his head: "I can't disclose the details, but I can tell you that if the New Aircraft Chamber of Commerce is willing to transfer this patent, I am absolutely willing to spend 10,000 gold coins, or even tens of thousands of gold coins to purchase it."
Archmage Torres and Archmage Trucci exchanged surprised looks. Archmage Trucci was moved in his heart and couldn't help but ask President Allen: "President Allen, I heard that you opened the Is the Magic Machinery Factory very profitable?”
President Allen's face changed slightly, and he waved his hands and said: "That guy Anke opened it, and it has nothing to do with me. But the benefits... are indeed pretty good."
Seeing the trace of pride in President Allen's smile, Archmage Truchi hesitated for a moment, then turned to Archmage Camilla and asked: "Um... Camilla, do you think... I... too?" Can you open a magic machine factory?"
The other four people were startled when they heard Grand Mage Truchi's question.
If we talk about being conservative, even the great magician Camilla is far inferior to the great magician Truchi.
When discussing magic patent rights and issues related to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and new magic machines, the great magician Truchi had always been opposed.
Now he actually proposed that he also wanted to open a magic machinery factory? This really made the other four great magicians feel a little weird.
The world is changing too fast, right? Many words actually changed even the most stubborn and conservative Trucchi!
After being stunned for a while, the great magician Camilla asked in confusion: "Truchi, what happened to you all of a sudden? Why did you think of opening a magic machinery factory? Weren't you the most unacceptable before?" .
The great magician Truki took a deep breath: "It's hard to explain in words. Anyway, I need money very much now, so just tell me if you can do it? It's a lot of words."
"This... I'm not sure." Archmage Camilla shook her head. "It's not that easy to open a magic machinery factory. I think... with your personality, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
