Chapter 146: Crazy Money-Making Speed

  The trading center was as bustling as ever, Su Dong Xin wandered around absent-mindedly, occasionally raising his head to glance at the task of hanging orders.

  Su Dong currently needs a large amount of Ling Crystal, assuming there is enough time, Su Dong believes that relying on his own ability will accumulate a lot of wealth, the key is that Su Dong currently needs money to meet his and Zuo Fang's cultivation needs.

  Those low-value tasks don't need to be looked at, the rewards are too small, while those high-value tasks require a lot of time, and with the preliminary round approaching, Su Dong doesn't have time to complete those time-consuming tasks.

  Just then, Su Dong walked to the relatively quiet northwest corner of the trading center, which was the technical answer area. Any technical difficulties encountered during learning would be posted here for solution, including those related to alchemy, casting, and various others.

  Su Dong glanced at the question on the sign, and his footsteps naturally came to a stop. This was a casting system original material ratio question. The person who put out this question hoped to find a compromise solution, forging a second layer of spiritual armor that was both light and thin, yet could defend against water-based spiritual power attacks.

  Normally, Ling Jia won't make many layers, after all, it's metal, wearing it on the body is heavy, and two sets of metal Ling Jia will also produce friction with each other, making an unpleasant sound. The person who posted this question probably has some special requirements, so he wants a set of water-based Ling Jia inner armor to prevent, and maybe he's afraid of being assassinated while sleeping, wanting to wear it while sleeping.

  In short, the problem of getting ten White Spirit Crystals was a trivial matter for Su Dong. The inheritance of the Ice God was indeed extraordinary, but he was also very skilled at fusing raw materials together. Most of the materials used by Su Dong to forge spiritual weapons and armor were fused from several types of metals combined together.

  After some thought, Su Dong casually picked up the wooden sign. On the back of the sign was a piece of paper with a question on it. All that was needed was to write down the answer and the owner of the sign would verify it. If the answer was valid, they would notify the transaction center to make the payment.

  Whoosh!

  Su Dongyi wrote down the formula for fusing metals and the key to it in one breath, then signed his account number at the trading center.

  Hand over the wooden sign to the staff of the trading center, Su Dong thought to turn around and leave, after all, this ten pieces of White Ling Crystal is too small. Su Dong was just making some extra money on the side.

  Liu Kang, the person in charge of this area, was not very old, about thirty years old. Su Dong easily solved the casting problem, which surprised Liu Kang greatly.

  Su Dong was able to solve the problem so quickly, no doubt a master craftsman, and in the Academy of Inquiring Tao, there were no master craftsmen as young as Su Dong.

  "Keep Su Dong's answer well, Liu Kang said: "Do you want to solve other casting system problems? In fact, there are many accumulated problems over the years. Only a small part is placed on the surface, and many unsolved difficulties are put behind."

  Su Dong was taken aback. He asked in a very pragmatic tone: "What's the profit?"

  Liu Kang said, "The returns are actually quite high. After all, this is a casting system problem, and the number of qualified casting masters in the college is very small. Moreover, those few master craftsmen do not despise answering similar questions. They always think that working hard on materials is a shortcut, and it's better to focus on practicing their own skills well, rather than always thinking about using materials to make up for what they can't do with their skills."

  Su Dong nodded slightly, the casting master didn't like to nitpick, which was very common in the divine realm. Regular casting masters believed that as long as their skills were deep enough, they could solve all the difficulties encountered in casting, while the Ice God's inheritance pursued extremes, with techniques and materials pushed to the limit, even the casting itself had multiple spiritual powers infused, this point was very different from ordinary casting masters who desperately raised their levels.

  Pursuing grades is also a common human sentiment. According to the current grade division, as long as it's a great casting master, no matter what the actual effect of the things he casts is, they must be fine products. And Bingzhu's line pursues practicality even more, even Su Dong, this ungraded wild road caster, can still create fine products.

  No choice, rank is status, like Su Dong's previous encounter with the casting master Ye Xiaosheng, who only pursued rank, in order to preserve his spiritual power and advance, he even refused to forge a spiritual armor.

  A foundry master who can't make anything is useless no matter how high his rank is. He's just a decoration.

  Since Liu Kang said that solving problems was quite profitable, Su Dong asked him to go get those accumulated over the years, anyway, it wouldn't take much time, and earning some money was better than nothing.

  It turned out that Su Dong didn't expect the problems accumulated in the college to be so many. Liu Kang carried a large wooden box and placed it on the table, which was covered with dust. Liu Kang somewhat embarrassedly wiped the dust off the top and said: "This is one of them, it's been a while, sorry."

  Su Dong is a typical utilitarian. He opened the box and curiously asked, "These are all past issues, I'm afraid the people involved have already graduated. Is there anyone who will pay me for answering?"

  Liu Kang smiled and said, "You can rest assured of this. When the problem is handed over, the fee has already been paid, and the money is stored in the transaction center. You just need to answer it, even if the person who asked the question has left the college, as long as your answer is correct, the transaction center will still pay the fee."

  Su Dong nodded slightly, picked up a few questions to take a look, and found that there were no difficult problems, most of which were trying to hide some tricks in the materials. Su Dong studied Bing Zhu, took an extreme route, and was best at this kind of thing.

  And the payment is quite high, usually one question can get 10-18 white spirit crystals as a reward, and some can even reach dozens of white spirit crystals.

  Su Dong didn't think much and started solving the difficult problems on the materials at the table.

  Time passed unknowingly, and a thick stack of answers accumulated beside Su Dong. Su Dong even found some fun in this process.

  Learning is one thing, but if you don't use what you've learned, you'll eventually forget it. Su Dong had once spent a lot of time recording the material tables and ratio tables in the Ice God's inheritance, but he hadn't used them much lately and was getting rusty. Now, this situation was just like an exam, where Su Dong needed to constantly recall what he had learned to solve other people's problems.

  Moreover, since there are many students asking questions, their thinking is also varied and imaginative. For example, one guy actually thought of using ice-elemental spiritual power as a pull, creating a storage box that can turn water into ice, so he could make his own popsicles to eat, somewhat like the refrigerators from his past life.

  This problem is quite interesting, not to mention that Su Dong doesn't particularly like eating popsicles. Even if he liked them, he would never spend time studying this thing, but now that someone has offered 20 White Spirit Crystals as a reward, Su Dong doesn't mind creating an otherworldly refrigerator.

  There are so many of these, Su Dong has begun to admire the unusualness of these students. After all, one person's thinking is limited, but when you put together the thoughts of many people, it becomes very strange and interesting.

  About two hours later, Su Dong finally finished solving the hundreds of questions, and Liu Kang calculated that there were more than 4,000 pieces of White Spirit Crystal gained!

  Su Dong was also startled by this rate of return, and his heart was filled with surprise and delight.

  "Bring another box." Su Dong said to Liu Kang.

  "Alright." Liu Kang happily agreed, according to the rules, the trading center would take 10% of the profit as commission, and Liu Kang himself could also make some small money from it, so he was extra careful with Su Dong. After all, the more questions Su Dong did, the more profit he would get.

  Su Dong was like a madman, burying himself in a huge pile of problems, writing non-stop with his goose-quill pen.

  ……

  The Foundry Department is also considered a major department of the Wudang Academy. After all, the status of the Foundry Master is high, and everyone wants to become an honorable Foundry Master, so they sharpen their heads and squeeze into the Foundry Department.

  Unfortunately, the casting path has a very high requirement for innate talent. Among the 3,000 students, only a few dozen can graduate smoothly, and those who succeed are even fewer. The vast majority of students will transfer to other easier departments after a few years due to their lack of talent.

  Hai Wuwei was not the head of the casting department, but he was a kind and gentle person who would take in anyone who wanted to learn casting. He would guide them carefully until it became clear that they really didn't have the talent for casting work, at which point Hai Wuwei would give up on the idea of making them into casting masters.

  It can be said that Hai Bu Wei has done his best to cultivate as many casting masters as possible for the college, but unfortunately, casting is really difficult to learn. Over the years, talents have been dwindling, which makes Hai Bu Wei heartbroken.

  It was approaching dusk. The trading center sent over a box, saying that someone had answered many questions, and these questions were all accumulated in the past, and the parties involved were no longer at the college. It needs to be confirmed by the Casting Department.

  The sea is not bright for the eyes, and at that time, interest came, curiously asked: "There are hundreds of questions here, all answered by one person?"

  "That's right, I heard it was Su Dong, the one who just invented Chaos Fury for Ling Wu Xie."

  The sea doesn't nod in agreement, the chaos is angry, he has studied it of course, but the sea is kind-hearted and thinks Su Dong's Ling Nu is too cruel, so he doesn't like Su Dong very much.

  "Someone who can invent the Chaos' Fury must be a ruthless being, it seems that Su Dong indeed has real talent and skills." Hai picked up a piece of scrap paper to analyze, sighing as he spoke.

  "This answer...the thinking is really strange!" Hai muttered to himself.

  "Hey everyone, come take a look. I'm worried that some of the craftsmen might be going down the wrong path. This Su Dong is really something else, actually suggesting adding carbon crystals to the Hundred Slayer Steel to enhance the finished product's wind and spiritual defense."

  "The hundred-refined steel with carbon crystal is prone to explosion, after all, they are extreme attribute materials." Hai Wu's colleague said while walking over, taking a glance at Su Dong's answer.

  "Hai Ye, this fusion may be a bit unorthodox, but it's got potential! He used copper as a neutralizing agent and chose water quenching for the forging technique, which just so happens to release the energy of the two extreme metal properties. Following this path, the finished product might actually have pretty good wind system spiritual power defense."

  Hai couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "This is exactly what I wanted to say, the sword going off track was one thing, but he actually succeeded! Unbelievable."

  It was originally time to get off work, but the professors of the Foundry Department saw Su Dong's answer and didn't leave, staying behind to discuss one by one.

  Su Dong's ice casting technology is naturally unparalleled, and from a theoretical point of view, it is indeed feasible. In this first batch of problem-solving, surprisingly, there were no mistakes at all, and they all succeeded!

  Just as everyone in the casting team was amazed by Hai's answer, the second box of solution arrived.

  "So fast!? It's been less than two hours and Su Dong has already solved so many questions?" Hai asked in surprise.

  The staff of the trading center who brought the answer smiled and said, "Now the entire trading center is in an uproar. Within four hours, Su Dong swept through 10,000 White Spirit Crystal questions! His speed at making money has created a new record since the establishment of the trading center!"

  And he had all these years' accumulated questions brought out, seemingly wanting to clear them all at once!
