Chapter 778: Spell Adaptation, Rebate Model
Following Xia Duo, Luodite, whom he had been paying attention to, stood up immediately. He first thanked Xia Duo for the help provided by the *Standard Development Manual of Daxia Territory*, and only then began to share his own experience.
"Last year, I accepted a sub-plane research mission issued by Jilan Tower, and my primary work was conducting Spell Adaptation."
"Just as Mage Xia Duo mentioned earlier, upon arriving at a new plane, a Plane Scholar must first confirm the plane's conditions and provide specific Magic Net variation parameters. Afterward, it is assigned to us High Mages with research qualifications to carry out specific Spell Adaptation, and finally, the adapted spells are distributed to specific plane development personnel."
Hearing news of plane development for the first time, Xia Duo immediately became spirited. The role of Plane Scholars in spell conversion across different planes that he had just spoken about was still largely based on speculation.
Although it was logical, there were no case studies to support it after all. Niya had never spoken to him about the situation of Other Plane missions, and while he wanted to ask, he was worried there might be confidentiality protocols involved.
Only now, from the mouth of another person, did he finally hear the reality of plane development.
Next, Luodite introduced some specific details in the work of Spell Adaptation. Xia Duo had also spoken about Spell Adaptation before, but he had not gone deep into this aspect; after all, he had spoken from the perspective of a Plane Scholar.
Hearing a professional discuss Spell Adaptation now, Xia Duo felt a faint sense of pleasant surprise. The things Luodite spoke of were things he might have been able to figure out on his own, but there would ultimately still be a gap compared to a researcher on the front lines.
It seems that even without considering promoting the new book, advertising the Communication Magic Tool, or making a name for himself, this exchange meeting alone was already worth the trip.
Of course, all of this was thanks to Niya. If it were just him, it would be basically impossible to invite Elite Mages from the Seven Towers to share their experiences, let alone gain anything.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but glance at Niya, and Niya seemed to sense it and looked back, a faint emotion flowing in her gaze.
……
Soon, Luodite finished speaking and sat back in his original seat. Including Xia Duo, not a single person asked a question. This exchange meeting leaned more toward theoretical exchange rather than spell exchange.
In spell exchange, a spell cannot be explained clearly in a few words, so if there were an opportunity to ask, people would certainly ask. But theory, while difficult to master, is very easy to explain clearly.
As long as the logic is sound, if one didn't understand, it was due to one's own reasons. On the other hand, theory easily involves other aspects, exceeding the exchange theme of the meeting.
Like the theme of this exchange meeting, "Spell Conversion in Other Plane Magic Net Environments," Xia Duo had actually already spoken a bit too much, but he did that to raise the tone of this exchange meeting and to make a name for himself.
Others might be influenced by Xia Duo, but not so severely.
Therefore, everyone consciously maintained a cautious attitude during the Q&A session.
……
After Luodite, as the nominal organizer of this exchange meeting, Beilaila naturally did not want to fall behind. What she spoke about was also related to spell conversion, but it was about the various consequences of not performing spell conversion or of conversion errors.
This was a bit clever.
However, considering that Beilaila spent most of her energy on advancement and did not study spell conversion deeply, plus the fact that Xia Duo had deliberately raised the tone, her speech was actually quite acceptable.
After this, everyone spoke in turn until Niya spoke last. The content she spoke about was somewhat beyond Xia Duo's expectations; it was not consistent with what the two had agreed upon beforehand.
Changed the speech content temporarily? Xia Duo looked at Niya in confusion, but as Niya was currently speaking, it was inconvenient for him to interrupt. It wouldn't be too late to ask after the exchange meeting ended.
Niya had changed the content of her speech from the original "Examples of Spell Conversion for Several Spells" to the current "Research on General Rules for Converting Homologous Spells, Derived from Examples of 【Flight】 Spell Conversion"!
After listening to Niya's speech, Xia Duo somewhat understood why Niya had changed the content. It was nothing more than seeing that others had shared quite a bit of substantial information, and taking out spell conversion examples again would lack sincerity.
However, Xia Duo had considered at the time that the two were now one entity. In reality, it would have been perfectly feasible for just Xia Duo or just Niya to come alone, and the two could have exchanged notes afterward.
With the two of them now, it was enough for Xia Duo to express sincerity; it was equivalent to them paying 1.5 shares for a total gain of 8 shares, while others paid 1 share for a gain of 8.5 shares, making the income-to-expenditure ratio significantly higher.
But now, after Niya changed the speech content, she and Xia Duo were paying 2 shares for a total gain of 8 shares, while others were paying 1 share for a gain of 9 shares, making the income-to-expenditure ratio even higher!
Perhaps the two could attend future exchange meetings separately!
Getting one thing and wanting another—this was exactly it.
……
After Niya finished her speech, the exchange meeting itself was effectively over, but Xia Duo's real business had just begun. He took 8 Communication Magic Tools produced by the Tower of Time from his Personal Space and distributed them to everyone one by one.
"This exchange meeting was actually organized by me asking Mage Beilaila. Besides the exchange itself, there is one more thing I would like everyone's help with. This Communication Magic Tool is just a small token of greeting!"
As High Mages, no one was a fool. Using empty words to trick people into promoting a new book or pushing a Communication Magic Tool was certainly unrealistic. Before coming, Xia Duo had already thought about how to operate it; it just depended on whether these people were willing to take the bait.
"Mage Xia Duo, what do you need our help with? If it is within my capabilities and does not conflict with my own interests, then I would be very happy to help Mage Xia Duo."
Luodite was the first to state his position, and this was not the first time he had expressed goodwill. Before his speech, he had thanked Xia Duo for the *Development Guide*, and Xia Duo speculated that this guy was very likely a Pioneer Lord.
Of course, considering his significant Cloud Qi, perhaps this guy was also the heir to a large Territory.
At this moment, seeing someone take the bait, Xia Duo immediately explained—
"Since everyone has come to attend this exchange meeting, you naturally know that Niya and I come from the Tower of Time in Nan Jing, the heritage of Archmage Savil."
"Two months ago, the Arcane Union announced the patented spell 【Magic Net Background Communication】 in its monthly journal, and the Communication Magic Tool based on a simplified version of this spell has also appeared in Seventon some time ago. Everyone must have had some contact with it."
"Now, the Tower of Time is also preparing to enter the Communication Magic Tool market. I would like to ask everyone to help promote it within the Seven Towers. Soon, the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce will have the Tower of Time's Communication Magic Tools for sale."
After speaking, Xia Duo looked at the calm-faced High Mages and sighed inwardly. Sure enough, without money, one couldn't move people. So, he continued:
"I will contact the Ming Shui Chamber of Commerce. As long as the purchaser mentions the name of any one of you, after the purchase is successful, the person among you whose name was mentioned will receive a 10% rebate of the selling price."
