A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 196 Astral Mint

Undoubtedly, this unexpected situation has had a significant impact on Jess, causing him to be somewhat distracted in class recently.

Of course, it could also be due to subsequent practical activities.

"I think this Flesh and Blood Paradise is pretty good; it can really inspire students' desire to learn alchemy."

Jiang Shuzhou's proposal was still outrageous.

"Professor Navis, that's not a paradise of flesh and blood, that's a workshop of flesh and blood!"

Jess saw right through Jiang Shuzhou's intentions. He simply wanted to have some fun by himself, regardless of the students' safety.

As long as they don't die.

"The college is about to have a holiday, so you'd better not cause any trouble, or I'm afraid you'll drive someone crazy."

Jess felt rather helpless. Although the other two alchemists in the group were both mediocre, they would never be as extraordinary as Jiang Shuzhou, who could summon succubi in spell class and talk about the secrets of flesh and blood in alchemy class.

They even chose dangerous places to go for fieldwork.

"What you're saying is ridiculous. It's just a tiny bit of Abyssal contamination, isn't it? I've been researching flesh and blood for so long, using Abyssal Mutation every day, how come I'm fine?"

Jess fell silent. "Isn't it true that a test subject in your lab self-destructed the day before yesterday?"

Fortunately, Jiang Shuzhou was wealthy and took good precautions, so he was unharmed.

However, just because Jiang Shuzhou did a good job with his protective measures doesn't mean that others did a good job.

"This is the last practical lesson. We're going to the Astral Mint."

Jess still did not agree to Jiang Shuzhou's proposal.

"Fine, that's fine. I'll go train the students."

"What kind of training?"

"Paid training!"

The Astral Mint is the largest mint in the entire Mage Alliance, bar none. The only advantage of going there is safety.

Of course, there are also local specialties that you can get for free.

The mint's specialty was, of course, gold coins.

As long as the cup can hold it, you can take whatever you want.

However, the cups used were provided by the Astral Mint and were not large, holding a maximum of about fifty coins at a time.

However, Jiang Shuzhou had a way to get the students to take more.

Based on his years of experience eating at buffets and his experience designing houses these days, this cup is definitely worth several hundred gold coins.

Jiang Shuzhou certainly doesn't need it, but these students do!

As their teacher and caring older brother, Jiang Shuzhou naturally had to impart his experience to them without reservation.

However, it must be said that the benefits of studying in a big city like Melver are excellent. A simple practical activity can earn Jiang Shuzhou several days' wages.

Fortunately, Jiang Shuzhou managed to get a teaching position thanks to his exceptional research abilities, talent, and hard work; otherwise, he would never have known he could receive such treatment.

Stunning.

"Class, it's me again. Your art teacher is sick, so we'll be doing alchemy this period. By the way, your literature teacher is also sick next period, so we'll be doing alchemy all afternoon."

These days, Jiang Shuzhou's class hours have been gradually increasing, mainly because as the burrowing worms dig downwards, they are getting closer and closer to 256 kilometers. Jiang Shuzhou has already made plans to ask for leave.

Once he unearthed something, he would immediately ask for leave to deal with matters in the underworld.

After all, although the Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood is doing quite well 20 kilometers underground, the space is still small, and it is difficult to build various facilities.

It's impossible for a burrowing worm to expand its space little by little, and 20 kilometers underground is too close to the surface. If a sacred area were to appear, it might be discovered.

In other words, Jiang Shuzhou's territory is not located in any important area, and even high-ranking officials rarely pass through it. That is why Jiang Shuzhou dared to place the Blood and Flesh Mother Tree there.

But it's still not a sure thing, so Jiang Shuzhou still plans to go to the underground world to have a friendly and cordial exchange with the local indigenous people and get them to voluntarily hand over their land to him.

Jiang Shuzhou would also give them a D-level personnel certificate as a gift in return, which would be a win-win situation.

Time passed quickly, and Jiang Shuzhou continued to speak in his unconventional way. Textbooks were written by experts for people to learn on their own, not for lecturing.

Jiang Shuzhou never uses this method. If someone doesn't listen attentively for a day, they will find that they won't understand any of the subsequent lessons.

Take Ye Chen for example.

"Some people are always neglecting their duties and have no energy at all in class."

Ye Chen was drowsy at this moment; he had stayed up all night practicing his breathing technique again.

Whoosh!

It struck right between the eyebrows, and Ye Chen immediately fainted.

Being young is great; you can fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.

To maintain tradition, the classroom contains not only a blackboard but also chalk.

Of course, although it was a high-end product that had been modified and didn't have much chalk dust, unfortunately, Jiang Shuzhou was basically clueless about blackboard writing. He could write casually at times, but it was impossible for him to use it regularly.

So the purpose of the chalk was for Jiang Shuzhou to throw around and play with. As Jiang Shuzhou started teaching more often, the teachers also began to notice that the amount of chalk being consumed was increasing.

The school initially thought the purchasing department had taken kickbacks, but an investigation revealed that it was actually caused by Jiang Shuzhou throwing things away every day.

"Did I say he didn't mention you?"

Whoosh whoosh!

Three more students who weren't paying attention fell asleep.

Jiang Shuzhou controlled his strength very well; they were all just unconscious.

Otherwise, if he went all out, these people might never wake up in their lifetime.

"Alright, put your books down, students. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Shuzhou then told the students about the Star Realm Mint and also taught them how to play Jenga.

"Alright, that's enough for class. We'll meet on the playground tomorrow. No armor or weapons."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou quickly walked out of the classroom before the bell rang.

"We don't even have armor, so why are you saying all this?"

"Are you stupid? Going to the mint with weapons and armor? What's the meaning of that? Are you planning to rob us?"

"I see, no wonder. But do people really visit the mint wearing armor and carrying weapons?"

"Look at him..."

After saying that, the man gestured with his lip towards Ye Chen's direction.

Ye Chen was wearing armor, with a sword at his waist.

However, he was still unconscious at this time.

"Wow, I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. So there really are people who wear armor all the time?"

"He probably thinks he's really cool. A mage wearing armor, I'm speechless."

"Should we tell him...?"

"What's it to me? Say what you want. He didn't hold back at all during the exam. He treated a small test like it was going to kill him. He had to be number one."

Soon, the next day, Ye Chen, dressed in armor and carrying a sword, followed the crowd on the playground.

Soon, they were teleported to their destination, the Astral Mint, by a mass teleportation spell.
