I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Chapter 533 How can I, a genius wizard, not find a job?

The change of times does not prevent Chen Zhou from finding a temporary identity. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want his vest to be related to the Industrial Church or Equiz Xuan.

So after understanding the cause and effect, he walked into one of the Federer security companies and tried to find a job as a serious prophet.

As a result, I just went to the Human Resources Department...

"I'm sorry, we are a security company here and we don't recruit prophets, but if you are a protection engineer, it's a different matter."

The employee in charge of recruitment immediately hired him as soon as he heard that the other party was a specialized prophet.

Chen Zhou never expected that even a noble profession like a mage would be rejected when applying for a job.

He still did not give up and asked: "I am not only good at the prophecy school, but also the conjuration school."

"Sorry, the spellcasters are also full...I suggest you go to the talent market."

After coming out of the security company, Chen Zhou found that he seemed a little unfamiliar with the world.

"It's strange, why can't even a mage find a job?"

"Didn't she say it was full?" If it’s full, I’ll definitely not recruit you. 』

Shushu found it difficult to accept this statement. If this was a normal situation, he would have to take over this mage even if there were no conditions to create conditions.

Chen Zhou actually learned a thing or two about this when he used the prophecy technique before.

"It's a problem of saturation in the employment market, and it's the industrial church's fault."

In the past two years, various machines and strange objects jointly built by the Industrial Church and the Magic Church have been continuously promoted with the support of the city lord, forming a very strange situation.

The current situation is that low-level spells such as "Fire Hands", "Fire Wire" and "Fireball" can be simply simulated by machine magic, and new magic item manufacturing technology is used, which greatly reduces the cost and craftsmanship requirements of these simple magic items.

At the same time, the standard and assembly-line production of strange objects has also lowered the threshold for using magic items, allowing ordinary people to use the magic inside after certain training.

In other words, today's Damali Port is a situation where ordinary people can also use magic by using high-quality and low-priced low-level French-style rare items.

A rare item that stores a 3rd level spell may only take less than a week from manufacture to delivery.

However, it takes at least one year to become a level 3 wizard, and only a rare genius has the opportunity to grow to this level.

The most important thing is that people usually do not have to use magic. They can also use convenient magic items when needed. However, the price and loss of mages under the same conditions are unacceptable to them.

As a result, this resulted in...

"There is almost no market for low-level mages, but this is unreasonable. How much cheaper can the rare items of the Industrial Church be?"

据鼠鼠所知，即便是最便宜的卷轴，3环的「火球术」也需要3*5*25=375金币的售价。

Recruiting a level 3 mage costs about 90 gold coins per month. Can't you tell who is cheaper and who is more expensive?
Chen Zhou shook his head. The fact is that people don't always need mages, and rare items produced on the assembly line are much cheaper.

What broke this price relationship were self-charging wonders based on runes and mechanisms.

A rare item that is several times more expensive than a scroll but can be reused every once in a while is very reliable. As long as it is used enough times, the initial investment can be earned back.

For example, this is a strange item currently launched by the Industrial Church:
HEALING BELT

Price: 750GP
Activate: command
Effect: 3 charges per day, consuming 1/2/3 charges to provide the effects of "treating minor injuries", "treating moderate injuries", and "treating severe injuries" respectively.

At the same time, it can also be used to harm undead creatures. "You see, this thing can almost replace a priest in low-end battles. Even ordinary low-level priests may not be as useful as this belt."

The healing belt sells for 750 gold coins in the official market, and the theoretical cost is 375 gold coins, but if it is produced by the Industrial Church...

The cost can be less than 300, which is as cheap and high-quality as an artificer with corresponding abilities.

"Then the Industrial Church sold these rare items at a lower price?"

Jerry roughly understood that if there were enough of these high-quality and cheap items, they could indeed replace real spellcasters to a certain extent.

"Lily still doesn't understand. No matter how useful a rare item is, it's not as comprehensive as a mage, right?" 』

"That's wrong, not every mage is me. The mages are far from being as comprehensive as rare objects."

And there is a more practical reason - non-spellcasters are cheap, and if they die, they will die.

The death of a spellcaster means that a large amount of money is wasted. The death of an ordinary person who uses a rare item only needs to recycle the rare item and give it to the next person.

anyway.

The ownership of these strange objects belongs to the company. If adventurers or employees lose or break them, they may even be subject to liability or claims, as well as legal sanctions.

Lily felt a little listless after hearing this. She felt that this was boring, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Haha, I really haven't imagined this situation. Let's go to the talent market and have a look."

Chen Zhou suddenly felt that this unorthodox fantasy adventure was a little interesting. The romantic element was 0%, but it was as interesting as a large-scale social survey and experiment.

After a while, Chen Zhou arrived at the Bead Alley of Damali Port, a business center named after the decorative ropes and beads hanging at every intersection.

New and established businesses alike gather here, vying for the attention of anyone with money, and a host of minstrels and performers bring a lively and irreverent air to the bustling atmosphere.

Chen Zhou, who had a clear goal, came to the talent market, submitted the materials and resume he compiled, and patiently waited for the interview opportunity.

During his free time, he noticed that there was a young man wearing a black mage robe sitting not far away from him. His seemingly unruly face was full of wind and frost, much like a college student whose ambitions had been wiped out when he just left school. Like a sacrifice.

Chen Zhou suddenly thought, was he on the verge of graduation before he traveled through time and came here?

It's just that he basically wants to go to whichever house he wants to go...

Probably aware of his undisguised gaze, the dim-eyed young man looked at the disguised Chen Zhou, an old mage in gray robes, and smiled politely and sadly.

"Where are you applying for a job?" Chen Zhou asked curiously, "Are you running out of funds?"

"Yeah, but I can't find a job."

The young man's smile became increasingly bitter: "I am Noster, an illusionist who graduated from Sotles University of Magic."

Oh, a member of the Empire, and a servant of the Genjutsu.

Chen Zhou instantly understood why this man couldn't find a job.

"Originally, before I graduated, my teacher said that I was a genius among geniuses who could become a great illusionist, but as a result, from Rexenrent all the way to Damali Port, no one or company needed an illusionist..."
