Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Margaret thought to herself.

At this time, a professor pointed to the projection on Margaret's desk and said, "This child is good. If she decides to take an adventure alone, she should use her keen observation skills to discover rare treasures hidden in the dark."

In the picture, a candidate is in a secret room with a golden treasure chest in front of him, but he does not seem too excited. He is still looking around and observing the environment.

"Not bad, really good."

The professor continued to praise.

"Young man, you're so calm even after discovering a hidden treasure chest. You know how to observe the environment for other traps. You're quite shrewd."

"That, Professor."

Margaret whispered.

"what happened?"

"This candidate got lost and ended up in the secret room. He was here twenty minutes ago, and this is his fourth time coming back here. So don't get excited. Just observe and look for the exit."

After Margaret finished her explanation, the professor fell silent. One could still hear the other members of the inspection team trying hard to hold back their laughter, with air leaking from their lips.

The professor was eager to hide his embarrassment and wanted to change the subject immediately.

Suddenly, he noticed that another candidate in this group behaved very differently.

"What is that candidate doing? Why is she still reading in the Adventurer's Guild? Anyone who has accepted a junior commission should be back to hand in the task by now."

Everyone looked at the candidate.

A thin, weak, short girl, at first glance you would think she is a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

She sat peacefully in the association, reading a book leisurely, and the coat provided by the college was still missing.

"This candidate gave up?"

"That shouldn't be it," Margaret said, "She's Mia."

"She's Mia, the one who wrote the paper for me?" A teacher immediately responded.

Mia's essay writing service is well-known in Larven.

"She probably has her own plans."

"And her coat?"

"Sold it," replied Margaret.

"Sell it? Even if we sell all the supplies we provided, it would only bring in 5 crowns at most, and that's on the top of the money. There's no way you can pass the exam like that."

"She used the money from selling her coat to buy paper and pens, rent tables and chairs, and also bought a banner."

"Banner?" The teachers in the inspection team had no idea what Mia was going to do.

……

At this time, in the phantom world.

Mia saw that the first batch of candidates who had completed their commissions were coming back one after another outside the association. She stood up and closed the book.

It's time to implement Boss Jia Xiu's tactics.

She came to the gate of the association, where the tables and chairs she rented were placed on the path that candidates had to take to hand in their tasks.

I picked up some grass from the roadside, put it together, dipped it in ink, used it as a brush, and started writing on the banner.

"Mia Tax Consulting".

After finishing writing, he stood up and shouted at the top of his voice to the returning candidates.

"Are you still worried about the 30% commission from the Adventurer's Guild? Are you still suffering from the 5% income tax collected by the city lords? Come to Mia Tax Consulting and we will help you easily solve all of the above problems and make your exam process smoother. Mia Tax Consulting, fighting for every crown for you!"

After the commercial, Mia smiled slightly.

Just as Boss Jia Xiu taught us, making money through entrustment does not necessarily mean making money from entrustment.

Keen observation and innovative thinking, this must be the intention of the question-setting group.

……

In the examination center, in front of Margaret's seat, the members of the inspection team looked at Mia's operation, their eyes widened and their eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"What are you doing?"

Chapter 37: The mentality of the test-setting team has undergone a subtle change

"Wait, does the adventure commission cost so much money?" asked a professor who didn't know much about the Adventurer's Association.

In the examination center, the teachers in the inspection team, after a brief moment of surprise, began to think about Mia's actions.

"Yes, Professor," a younger teacher in the group replied, "The Adventurer's Guild has always taken a 30% commission. And not only from the commission itself, but also from commissions like recovering lost property or treasure hunting. They also take a 30% commission before the lost property or treasure is handed over to the client."

"It's so dark after smoking at both ends?" The professor was very surprised.

"The platform is just so shady."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with other teachers present who had rich adventurous experience.

Everyone began to denounce the Adventurer's Association's various inappropriate behaviors.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that they not only took money from both sides, but also exploited the grassroots employees of various association branches. They made money from three sides!

After the "victims" shared their experiences of being "victims", new problems arose.

"Why did the test-setters include the Association's share in the Phantom World? This seems to have nothing to do with the original intention of testing the candidates' actual combat abilities in adventures."

"It was the team leader's request. He said we had to do everything in our power to simulate a real adventure. I can only say that the test-setting team did a really good job."

"So how is Mia going to solve this commission issue?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Since she did this, it proves that she must have a way. Let's see how she does it."

"Makes sense."

So, all the senior teachers of Sant'Ero College stood together, looking intently at Mia on the projection, and some even took out small notebooks to take notes.

……

At this time, in the phantom world.

Since Mia put up the advertisement, the response has been very good, and many candidates have lined up in front of her small desk.

If Mia could help them save some money steadily, even if it was only 20%, then every five visits would save them about one commission, which would be much safer and more stable than going on adventures in the dungeon.

"Excuse me, what can we do to reduce the association's commission?"

the first guest asked.

"The consultation fee is 10 herre."

"Here." The customer hurriedly took out 10 herrills, which was the profit he made from selling the ore in the dungeon.

"Do you have an adventuring group?"

"No, I'm alone."

"Go find other independent candidates and sign up for an adventure group together. You don't have to go on adventures together. The association has a preferential policy for new adventure groups. Although the adventure group needs to pay an annual fee, you don't have to pay it for a few days. This can save you about 5%."

Mia wrote quickly on the paper. This was the written strategy that would be handed over to the candidates later. The service was so thoughtful.

"When registering your adventure group, register as a non-local team. I'll list a few locations for you. Teams from these locations also have support and preferential treatment. Then, what is your race?"

"I, I am a human being?" the guest replied.

"Whether there are other bloodlines, think back to your ancestors, no matter how many generations you have, as long as there is a slight connection, it will be fine."

"Um……"

The guest was thinking hard.

In fact, this is a world where multiple races coexist and there is no reproductive isolation between human races. During the war against the demons, various races worked together. It is a common phenomenon that ancestors have more or less other bloodlines.

"I thought of it. I remember my grandfather said that his grandmother or grandmother seemed to be a halfling."

"Very good, now you are a halfling. Go to the association and change your registration status. You can enjoy the rare race exemption policy."

The young candidate was already feeling a little dizzy after listening to it.

"Is this okay?"

"Why not? Do you really think there are so many rare races? Most of them are just for preferential treatment."

Mia continued to speak, "Do you believe in the Holy Light?"

"Do not believe."

"It's true. Obtaining the protection of the Holy See can reduce the amount of taxes collected by the lord. Also, when purchasing supplies from the association, buy more to get a discount, and then have the staff issue you a certificate based on the purchase price. As for the gains from the dungeon, will they quote a lower price?"

The candidate shook his head woodenly.

"Listen carefully, the calculation method for the following part..."

Next, Mia began a more detailed tax calculation class.

This was the result of her day of adapting to the environment. She stayed in the association for the entire day and memorized all the rules and regulations with her amazing memory.

Then, under Jia Xiu's guidance, he looked for loopholes that could be exploited and integrated them into his own thinking.

"The above is how to reduce it by another 12% to 15%. Do you understand? Do the math yourself and be prepared. There will be about 6 to 8 forms to fill out."

Looking at the densely written paper with various complicated symbols and formulas handed over by Mia, the young candidate's expression was very painful.

"No, I can't do this. It gives me a headache. Is there an easier way?"

Mia smiled slightly at this question.

"Of course, distinguished guest. I anticipate earning you an extra 25% on each commission. If you're unable to complete this on your own, I can take a 5% commission on each order and help you with all the paperwork. You can take the full commission from the association first. I'll complete the paperwork that evening, and after receiving the refund, I'll hand it over to you the next morning as agreed. I'm Mia, and many people in the city know me."

"Great, this is it."

"Next." Mia called.

The previous candidate happily went to the association to hand in the task, but after running two steps, he suddenly thought of something.

Turning around, he asked, "Did any of this whole process violate any rules? I saw a candidate trying to steal something and was caught by the city guards. Am I at risk of getting caught?"
