Fanatics of the Magic Academy

Chapter 106 Extraordinary Characteristics Reverse the Struggle for the Rights of the Heavenly Gang

Rose rubbed his temples, looked at the five bottles of pale gold potion on the table in front of him, and let out a long sigh.

He has used up all the raw materials and made further improvements to the medicine.

It removes the lightning effect from the potion. This lightning effect is because the extraordinary properties of the catalyzed potion have a high affinity with the ancient dragon's current, so some of the remaining ancient dragon's current is retained in it.

Damn, physics no longer exists.

Analyzing this phenomenon using physics from a previous life would be nothing short of defying the heavens.

However, "The Pharmacological Basis of Gu Long's Followers" has a self-consistent theoretical basis, which involves some characteristics of the supernatural substances.

Some of the outlandish theories in it can actually be realized and observed in this world.

Rose used some basic theories of supernatural matter and added a few steps to remove the lightning that came with the potion.

Only the sedative effect and extraordinary properties of the drug are retained.

Rose decided to use two of the five bottles of the potion for promotion: one for Keaton to test, and the other for Chun Chun to promote at the party.

The remaining three bottles were sold.

At the last gathering, Rose observed that this potion for maintaining sanity generally cost between 800 and 1500 marks, which seemed inexpensive, about the price of a textbook.

The problem is that this is something that needs to be taken long-term, and if the treatment time is extended, the cost becomes extremely considerable.

Rose thought a price between 1000 and 1300 marks would be reasonable. He suggested starting with a lower price and gradually raising it as the market opened up. Rose believed that 1200 marks was a reasonable price.

According to Rossell's calculations, the cost of one bottle, even including the cost of purchasing two pieces of equipment, should be around 250 marks.

Of course, this is without considering research and development costs and the rarity of the drug.

In this era, only one place can currently brew this potion, because only Rose possesses the Ancient Dragon Current.

Of course, all of this is just Rose's idea, and its true value will depend on market feedback.

And today happens to be the day for the gathering.

Rose noticed that the time was around 6 a.m.

He got up from the chair and walked out of the dimly lit basement. Rose noticed that the weather was starting to get colder.

It's definitely getting colder now. When he was homeless, it was during the rainy season, and now three or four months have passed.

It's October now, no wonder the weather is cold.

We need to stockpile some fuel to get through the winter.

The living standards of ordinary people in the Magic Federation remain unbearable. In some aspects, it is even more exaggerated and advanced than in Rose's previous life, but in other aspects, it is unusually primitive, giving people a very jarring impression.

Because magicians possess unique magical technologies, there is no need to popularize or develop electricity, nor is there anything like central heating.

In fact, ordinary people in the Magic Federation do not completely miss out on the benefits brought by the development of civilization.

That is, the Magic Federation has a relatively sound welfare guarantee mechanism for ordinary people.

For example, in public schools, students only need to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees to attend school for free.

There were also generous vouchers for supplies and soup kitchens.

Alas, at this point, some people might ask: if ordinary people have such comprehensive welfare and protection, why are there so many corpses in the slums?

Oh dear, it wasn't the Magic Federation that killed them, it was the magicians!

In order to conduct their experiments, they unscrupulously sold drugs and stole the ration coupons from homeless people.

Look at Mason, as long as he doesn't get involved with drugs, he can live for more than 30 years purely on the welfare system, and even have spare money to read some books. Isn't that great!

Who says our Magic Federation's social security system is bad!

Huh? Why would those magicians come to the slums to do this?

That's too much to say.

One fact that Rose learned that was particularly unsettling was that it was the magicians (literally, bloodsuckers) who were feeding on these ordinary people, while it was the magicians who were fighting for the rights of ordinary people.

This is a society where magic reigns supreme, and ordinary people have almost no political rights. A world with a system of extraordinary powers is bound to have a tendency toward social unrest and extreme survival of the fittest.

But why would magicians fight for the rights of ordinary people?

Because they are supporting the future.

This is how the magic system works in this world: low-level magicians, and even third-level magicians like Kenneth who have already achieved a certain status, can end up on the streets.

Therefore, securing social welfare guarantees sufficient for ordinary people to live in society is to support their own future.

Moreover, by then, magicians could use this welfare system to extract value from ordinary people in order to seek the possibility of making a comeback.

For example, a magician behind a gang might use the gang and drugs to swindle resource vouchers from homeless people.

In fact, the Magic Federation did have an extreme dog-eat-dog mentality and political views for a period of time, and even implemented them, treating ordinary people as mere expendable resources rather than as human beings.

Clearly, in a supernatural system where every magician could potentially become an ordinary person, such a system was not feasible to develop and could not be promoted, leading to numerous protests and demonstrations by magicians with political rights.

Ultimately, it evolved into this society that still retains some humanistic elements.

In fact, let alone this unstable supernatural system society, even in the cultivation worlds depicted in many of Luo Sai's previous literary works, where cultivators had stable cultivation levels and would readily massacre entire cities...

The suffering and destruction of the people, and the offering of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, all demonstrate a certain degree of humanistic concern for ordinary people. Many sects are willing to protect ordinary people in order to obtain fresh blood.

Not to mention that this world is built on an unstable, supernatural system.

Rose gained a deeper understanding of this world with its extraordinary powers.

The characteristics of the superhuman system ultimately determine the social structure and the relationship between ordinary people and superhumans.

Rose arrived on the ground, made some breakfast, then woke up Tiana. After washing up, the two ate breakfast together.

Rose had already asked the school for Tiana's leave a few days ago, so that she could rest at home for a day.

He was going to a party today, which was on the third Tuesday of every even-numbered month. Tiana only had weekends off, so he might not be able to pick her up on time. He was also worried about Tiana going to and from school alone, so he asked for a day off in advance.

Rose prepared some lunch in advance and gave Tiana a few instructions, telling her to eat on time and to keep her eyes away from the picture books when looking at them.

Tiana nodded her little head incessantly like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes resolute as she said, "Don't worry, Rose! Tiana will take good care of herself!"

Rose patted her head, and Tiana closed her eyes comfortably.

Rose lowered her hand, still dressed in the same way she had covered herself up completely, and then left home with five bottles of medicine in her pocket.

He had just stepped out of his house when he heard curses: "Fuck! Which idiot smashed the new mailbox?"

Rose turned to look at the source of the sound; it was his neighbor, Lucas.

He forced the wind, which had transformed into cloud shape, down his throat and said in a rough, falsetto voice, "Hey! Lucas, what's wrong?"

Lucas scratched his head and looked at Luo Saidao: "Oh, it's Luo Xin! I don't know which bastard smashed my mailbox in Xin'an!"

Oh, Luo Xin, are you going out?

Rose nodded and said, "Yes, I have some things to do today."

After exchanging pleasantries with Rose for a while, Lucas continued cursing around his smashed mailbox.

Rose also left the working-class area by turning east and west, and came to the vicinity of the western part of the slum.
