Chapter 154

Gao De's inference was correct; there were indeed many Red-eyed Sparrows lurking nearby in this area where the stream flowed through.

Within just one hour, he discovered five more Red-eyed Sparrows, all of which were hit by one shot under the powerful effect of 【Fire Arrow+】.

That is to say, it only took more than two hours to account for 6 gold coins, equivalent to the selling price of a 0-circle spell formula.

Hourly wage 3 gold.

Even for a formal magic user, this is a very high number, not to mention that he is still just a second-rank magic user apprentice.

It's just that by doing this, Gao De was already preparing to return home.

Time is actually still early, and it's not that he doesn't want to collect the origin of 【Red-eyed Sparrow】 in one go, but the problem is that he is "out of blue."

A magic user without blue, how to hunt birds?

The reason why magic user apprentices are called apprentices is largely because the "blue amount" is really too limited.

Gao De marked his position on the map, prepared to come again tomorrow, and then returned the same way.

The way back is always faster, and before long, Gao De returned to the back mountain path opened by man.

He was about to speed up his pace, but he didn't expect someone to walk out quickly from the depths of the path at this time.

Gao De glanced at it; it was a young lady wearing the standard robe of Sairisi Academy students, with blonde hair.

Obviously a senior student.

Because the freshmen should still be gold miners under the Hard Labor Cliff at this moment.

It is estimated to be a student of the Magic Medicine Department.

Because those who can enter the back mountain either accepted the 【Patrol the Mountain】 task or are students of the Magic Medicine Department, who often enter the mountains to look after the magical plants planted.

Gao De made a judgment in his heart.

However, he didn't think much about it, and didn't even intend to say hello to others.

In Sairisi Academy, everyone is very busy, and there are few unnecessary greetings.

"Gao De?" What Gao De didn't expect was that the other party actually took the initiative to call him.

"Do you know me?" Gao De looked at the other party, confirmed that he didn't know her, and was a bit puzzled.

"My name is Shadi, the chief student of the Magic Medicine Department." The young woman introduced herself.

Subsequently, she continued with curious light in her eyes: "You know, in the Magic Skills Department, the competition between our Magic Medicine Department and the Alchemy Department has always been the greatest, and the relationship between the instructors of the two departments is not very good."

"I, as the chief student of the Magic Medicine Department, and Geli Haileier, as the chief student of the Alchemy Department, are even more so."

"So when I heard that the guy didn't know what kind of madness he was having, and ran to the restaurant to target a freshman, I paid a little attention and remembered your name."

"Later, when you handed in the Maid Clams to our Magic Medicine Department for the entrance task, I glanced at you from afar."

Gao De understood, and then a polite smile appeared on his face, "So it's Chief Shadi, I've heard of your name for a long time, I don't know what this is?"

He was asking about the matter of the other party calling him; it certainly wouldn't be just to come up and say hello to him.

Shadi smiled lightly, "I originally planned to take time to visit you, but I didn't expect to meet you here, so I called you; it looks like you should have accepted the 【Patrol the Mountain】 task, right?"

Gao De nodded; this was nothing to deny, but he didn't speak, waiting for the other party's follow-up.

"I'll just say it straight," Shadi said softly: "I want to invite you to join our Mutual Aid Association."

"Mutual Aid Association?" Gao De raised his eyebrows, the first time he heard of this thing, "What is this?" "Perhaps only you in the entire academy don't know about the Mutual Aid Association and the Lion Association." Shadi spread her hands, helpless.

However, since she had already issued an invitation to Gao De, she didn't mind being a narrator again, "You should know that students in the academy are generally divided into two types."

"One is like us, who entered the academy openly through the academy's recruitment assessment, civilian students."

Gao De could notice that Shadi radiated a sense of pride when she said "entered the academy through the academy's recruitment assessment."

For them, this is indeed something worth being proud of.

"The other is like Geli Haileier, who entered the academy through family background and backdoors to study, noble students."

"Civilian students and noble students are mostly not pleasing to each other in most cases; the former thinks the latter is useless and just took advantage of their ancestors' light;"

"The latter thinks the former is low-born and not qualified to study with them... This kind of displeasure sometimes develops into targeting."

"And generally speaking, we civilian students can't fight noble students; after all, they have money and power, while our talent needs time to be realized."

"Later, someone in the civilian students couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, pulling all civilian students to join forces, helping each other, making progress together, and at the same time having the ability to face the targeting of noble students; this is the prototype of the Mutual Aid Association."

"After the Mutual Aid Association appeared, the noble students naturally followed suit and emerged with a corresponding organization, the Lion Association."

"The Mutual Aid Association and the Lion Association appeared and developed like this; by now, every freshman entering the academy will be invited by the Mutual Aid Association or the Lion Association according to their identity."

"So, all students in the entire Sairisi Academy are either members of the Mutual Aid Association or members of the Lion Association."

"As for you..." Shadi glanced at Gao De and said slowly: "The situation is too complicated; both sides don't think you belong to their side... So..."

Shadi just pointed it out very vaguely, but it was enough for Gao De to understand.

He joined Sairisi Academy through a recommendation letter, so naturally, he did not meet the conditions of the Mutual Aid Association's "entering the academy through recruitment assessment."

But at the same time, his identity is not a noble child, so he can only be considered a civilian.

Therefore, he also did not meet the membership conditions of the Lion Association's "noble students."

It seems that he doesn't belong to either side, Gao De thought secretly.

"However, I think that although you didn't enter the academy through assessment, you don't belong to the noble student ranks after all; since that's the case, you meet the membership standards of our Mutual Aid Association."

"So, I represent the Mutual Aid Association and sincerely invite you to join us."

"If I join the Mutual Aid Association, what can I get, and what do I need to pay?" Gao De was silent for a moment and asked slowly.

"You will get the resources of the Mutual Aid Association, including intelligence information and the help of members of the Mutual Aid Association."

"For example, if you need any magic medicine, and I happen to be free, you only need to provide raw materials and a little remuneration, and I can help you refine it."

"Or if there are any team tasks, you can look for them among the internal members of the Mutual Aid Association; if there is any conflict of interest in the task, you can also coordinate through the Mutual Aid Association, which is certainly more convenient and reassuring than your random team formation..."

"Or, if your graduation design needs help from other magic users, the Mutual Aid Association can also contribute."

"But accordingly, you also need to provide your value to other members of the Mutual Aid Association."

"For freshmen, we don't require too much in the first year; it's just treating it as using the resources of the Mutual Aid Association to cultivate new members, which is considered a membership benefit."

"But from the second academic year, you need to show your value; otherwise, the resources of the Mutual Aid Association will no longer be open to you."

"The philosophy and purpose of the Mutual Aid Association have always been mutual aid, not unconditional help." Shadi emphasized.
