Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

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 efforts on the day she adapted to the environment. She spent the entire day in the association, memorizing all the rules and regulations with her amazing memory. Then, under Jia Xiu's guidance, she frantically searched for loopholes and thoroughly understood them.

"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?"

"Please rest assured, valued guest, under normal circumstances, this process will not be found to be in violation of regulations."

Mia's wording was quite subtle.

"If something unfortunate happens, believe me, as a professional tax accountant, I will take the blame and go to jail!"

When Mia said this, in the eyes of the candidates, there was a halo shining on her head.

……

Examination Center Hall.

The leader of the question-setting team for the second round of exams came to check on the situation of this round of exams.

He walked into the hall with a smile on his face. He thought that this group of candidates must be adventuring hard in the dungeon.

I am indeed a genius, able to design such a perfect exam process.

I hope I can improve my position next year.

However, as soon as he entered the hall, he found that all the members of the inspection team were crowded together, and many of them were still writing something quickly in the notebooks in their hands.

Seeing this scene, the team leader broke out in a cold sweat.

Is there going to be a big problem?
Why didn't you inform him if there was a problem?

He hurried over and squeezed into the crowd.

"What happened?"

He was heard shouting and someone told him to be quiet.

"Shh—I'm getting to the crucial point."

The team leader followed everyone's gaze and saw Mia's stall and dozens of candidates in front of it.

He quickly realized what Mia was doing.

The exam design, which we thought was perfect, was found to be so devious a way to pass it on the morning of the first day.

It was also studied carefully by the entire inspection team.

The team leader was anxious.

"Dismiss, disperse, stop watching. This bug will be fixed before the second batch of candidates enter. Please return to your work and ensure the exam continues as normal."

After hearing what he said, everyone felt it was inappropriate to stay together. It was indeed a dereliction of duty, so they dispersed and went around the venue.

Seeing the other teachers leave, the team leader patted Margaret on the shoulder.

He whispered, "Did you take a picture?"

According to regulations, all controversial projections of candidates will be saved.

"Yes," Margaret replied.

"Give me a copy so I can learn from it."

"Study? What do you want to study?"

"Uh, no, hi, it's just that I'm researching to see if there are any violations, hahahaha..."

The team leader laughed a few times very awkwardly.
