Chapter 15 Everyone Has Ambition
"Look, the two magic circles should be farther apart, so that the effects of the two magic circles can just cover this node, but the two magic circles will not affect each other."
"We need to pay attention here. Be sure to look at each gear bayonet. There can't be one mistake, otherwise the piano will be stuck when it starts to play, and it is impossible to form a loop."
"By the way, are you sure what song is it? The keys corresponding to different songs are different, and the settings of the magic circle are also different. This must be set in advance."
"No no no, you can't do this here, you'll ruin the whole model..."
...
The Camilla Magic Tower was quiet after get off work, but Xu Yi's voice sounded from time to time in the research room where Xu Yi was.
According to the agreement, he is instructing Steele to make his own piano model after get off work.
Steele's magical talent is indeed as powerful as the rumors, Xu Yi just explained to her the principles of the two wind magic arrays used in this model, and she copied it easily.
But when it comes to specific model design and manufacturing, Steele can only honestly follow Xu Yi's guidance.
Fortunately, Steele is young, studious, and talented. It doesn't take much effort from Xu Yi to easily grasp the key points given to her by the professor.
In less than a week of leisure time after get off work, Steele's piano model has been preliminarily formed, and only some detailed adjustments are required to be completely completed.
Judging from the current progress, this time should not exceed three days, completely in time to complete it before Steele's friend's birthday.
"Crack-"
Steele pressed down lightly, and the model made a crisp sound, and the piano lid and base fit together perfectly.
"Huh—" Steele breathed a sigh of relief, lifted up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "All right!"
"Well...not bad." Xu Yi nodded. "Now that you have mastered the essentials of the entire model, you can complete it by yourself. If there is anything you don't understand about the adjustment of the details, you can ask me again."
"Yeah." Steele responded, turning his head away and showing a smile at Xu Yi. "Xu Yi, thank you for teaching me so patiently, I'll treat you to dinner later."
Xu Yi looked up at the sky outside the window and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work today. I have an appointment tonight, and I have something else to do."
"Oh?" Steele was a little disappointed, thought about it, and then asked: "By the way, Xu Yi, I never asked you, why did you reject Grandpa's invitation? You should always know that there are many young The magician is trying his best to be grandpa's apprentice. And grandpa has praised you several times in front of me privately, saying that from your magic circle, you can see that your magic talent is very high, as long as you are willing to learn magic If so, it is very likely that he will become a great magician in the future."
Xu Yi smiled lightly: "Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency the Great Magician, but please tell Your Excellency the Great Magician for me, that I am not unwilling to be his apprentice, but there are too many chores, I am afraid there is not enough. Time to follow him to learn magic, can only live up to his good intentions."
"Why?" Steele frowned and asked in confusion. "Even my grandfather praised your magic talent, and I can see that your magic talent is indeed very high, maybe even stronger than me, why don't you want to study magic? Is it because of that What kind of magic fan? I heard that you have been doing research in that area all this time."
Xu Yi thought about it for a while, but instead of answering, he asked, "Steel, what do you think of the magic fan?"
"Me?" Steele pointed to himself, thought about it seriously, and replied slowly: "I think this thing is very interesting, because it is a rare example of applying magic to daily life, and it is designed so that It's so ingenious, to be honest, I quite admire it. But Xu Yi, you should know that the status of a magician on the Sainz Continent is earned by his own magical power. Even if you design a hundred magic fans, As long as your own magic power is not strong, you have no status. Your magic talent is so good, I advise you to study magic. As long as you can become a great magician, I can guarantee that you will design a magic fan. Make sure everyone will applaud."
"It's like everyone thinks the magic fan is bad..." Xu Yi couldn't help but muttered, glanced at Steele's sincere expression, coughed lightly, and said sternly: "Steer, what you said I understand this very well, but everyone's ideals and pursuits are different. Maybe most magicians think that their magical strength is the most important, but I am different. I always feel that magic is just a tool at best, magicians Magic can be used for destruction, so why can’t magic be used for construction? We have every reason to use magic more in our daily lives. If relying on magic can improve everyone’s life, isn’t it good?”
"This..." Steele hesitated. "You're right, but... but if the magician is not strong, it will be a lot worse..."
"Who said that I can't improve my magic power when I study magic machinery?" Xu Yi suddenly showed a weird smile, raised his right hand, the magic power flowed in his body, and a small milky white hurricane visible to the naked eye appeared in the palm of his hand.
"Microtornado!" Stilton shouted in surprise. "This is third-level wind magic, and it must be mastered by third-level magicians at least! Xu Yi, I remember when you interviewed that you said that you did not pass the certification examination of the Magician's Guild!"
"Failed to pass doesn't mean you can't pass." Xu Yi smiled. "Of course, my magic power was indeed not as good as it is now during the interview. It was estimated that it was between a first-level to a second-level magician."
"You mean... It's only been two months, and you've become a third-level magician?" Steele was even more surprised. "This is too exaggerated, isn't it? You... your magic talent is so high? I don't think you have much time to study magic at all!"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "It's not just specializing in magic research to improve magic power. When I study magic machinery, I have to study magic circles with my heart, and researching magic circles is actually equivalent to researching magic indirectly. Not surprising. Steele, you've been concentrating on making this piano model these days, haven't you noticed that your magical power has also improved because of it?"
Steel tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded: "Well, I think my knowledge of wind magic is a little deeper than before. But... it's not as exaggerated as you are."
"Because I'm a genius." Xu Yi shrugged and said boldly.
Steele rolled his eyes at him, but couldn't help but said, "Since you are a genius, why don't you concentrate on studying magic. With your talent, it is very possible to become a great magician."
"As I said, everyone has their own aspirations." Xu Yi said with a relaxed expression. After speaking, he raised his head and interrupted Steele's continued persuasion. He glanced at the sky outside again, and continued: "Okay, Steele, this is the end of the day. I'll write down your meal first, and think about it later. I asked you to invite me to eat, but you mustn't forget."
"Hmph, stingy." Steele pouted.
Xu Yi laughed, packed his things, and left.
As soon as he walked out of the magic tower, he saw a figure hurriedly walking towards him in the distance.
This figure Xu is also very familiar with, it is Heinze.
Seeing Heince's hurried appearance, Xu Yi couldn't help but smile.
Since Xu Yi transferred 20% of his shares to Heinze a few days ago, he immediately started running with full power like a car with full horsepower. The production, transportation and sales of the company have all been seized, and it is completely the appearance of a shrewd and capable professional manager.
As for his small grocery store, it is now entirely in the hands of his nephew Alex.
Although Heinze is not a particularly insightful and creative talent, he is better at being meticulous, and he is not afraid of hard work. He manages things in an orderly manner, which can be said to be very suitable for his current job.
Of course, the dividends brought by 20% of the shares are the biggest motivation for him to work so hard.
"Hey, Heinze, why did you think of looking for me here today? What's the hurry..." Xu Yigang raised his hand to say hello, suddenly stunned.
At this time, Heinze had approached, and Xu Yi was surprised to find that his face was very solemn, as low as water was about to drip.
Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat.
Because thirty students from the Baron Riktor Academy of Magic were hired to draw the magic circle, the production of the first version of the magic fan has not stopped during this period, and the sales are as hot as ever. In just one week Nearly a thousand units were sold.
While bringing Xu Yi a net income of more than 700 gold coins, it also brought 200 gold coins to Heinze, who owns 20% of the shares. Heinze has been in a good mood since then. When Xu Yi saw him, he was all smiles, as if drinking honey.
This was the first time I saw his face so ugly.
"Did something happen?"
Thinking of this, Xu Yi quickly walked over.
Before Xu Yi could ask, Heinze said in a low voice, "Xu Yi, it's broken, something happened!"
Seeing the anxious look on Heinze's face, Xu Yi quickly patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
"Don't worry, what's the matter? Take it slow?"
Heinze took a few breaths and calmed down after a while. He looked left and right, approached Xu Yi, and said in a low voice but extremely heavy: "There is an imitation of the magic fan!"
