Big Capitalist

Chapter 516 Filming Begins

The young alchemist was originally overwhelmed by the pride of being the disciple of the Alchemist Guild's master alchemist. After hearing Yuna's words, although he was shocked, his pride still made him say firmly: "I am sure!"

Yuna looked at him seriously and continued, "Don't rush to confirm. Once you apply for research funds, there will be periodic evaluations and assessments. Moreover, the research funds will not be given to you all at once. According to Article 13 of the Arcane Academy's Magical Research Regulations, research funds will be distributed based on your interim alchemy results. If the Arcane Academy believes that the alchemy direction you are researching is worthless, not only will the funding be stopped, but it will also leave a bad mark on your resume. This is no small matter. It will affect your future alchemist rating, welfare benefits, and even your eligibility to apply for research funds in the future will be restricted."

"So serious!" The young man widened his eyes, his face full of shock.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly became clear and a sense of fear surged in his heart.

He thought of his family. The entire family saved money to support him in studying alchemy. Now that he had completed his studies, he naturally shouldered the responsibility of repaying his family.

There are more than a dozen younger generations in the family who need to be supported. If this poor resume affects the alchemist's rating and welfare benefits, the consequences will be disastrous.

The young man's family had always lived a tight life and they hoped that he could make a name for himself.

When in the Alchemy Guild, the monthly salary was just a drop in the bucket compared to the expenses of the entire family.

Therefore, after layers of hard work and screening, he finally entered the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop, which is quite famous in the Continent of Aize, hoping to have better development.

Thinking of this, the young man began to hesitate.

At this time, Yuna looked at him and said earnestly: "Think about it carefully. The road of magic research is very complicated. As a new alchemist like you, you may not be able to grasp it. Think about your family, think about your unmarried lover..."

As she spoke, Yuna looked down at the communication crystal in her hand, which clearly displayed the young man's name and detailed information.

The young man was shocked, as if struck by lightning, and woke up instantly.

He thought of his gentle and kindhearted lover-to-be. The conditions for marriage proposed by his future father-in-law were not low. If he failed in his alchemical research, he might not have the money to marry her in this lifetime.

Yuna looked at the young man's dazed expression, took out a piece of paper from the documents in her hand, handed it to him and said, "Here, this is your salary slip and commission for this month. I brought it to you from the finance department."

The young man was stunned for a moment and subconsciously took the payslip.

When he saw the amount of gold coins on it, his eyes widened instantly and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why is there so much?"

Yuna took a look and explained, "Your basic salary is not that much, but the commission is quite a lot. I can see that you have worked very hard this month and created a lot of alchemical tools. Here, as long as you put in the effort, you will get something in return. Rather than pursuing your dream in a moment of passion, it is better to take steady steps, learn the technology from your predecessors, accumulate some assets, and make plans for future research. I believe that by then, you will be able to apply for a higher amount of research funding at will."

The young man listened to Yuna's words, and felt deeply moved, and was completely stunned.

After a long while, he replied seriously: "I will definitely listen to Vice President Yuna's teachings and will not be so impulsive again."

Yuna smiled and nodded, saying gently, "There is nothing wrong with pursuing your dreams, but you must be clear about what you really need to do now. After all, pursuing your dreams requires not only courage, but also a certain material foundation as support."

Jin Henry at the side couldn't help but give Yuna a thumbs up and praised, "As expected of the vice president, you have such a good eloquence. If it were me, I would probably just beat him up to wake him up."

At this time, Alison came over with a document and said, "Vice President Yuna, all the alchemy items have been packed. Here is the list. Please take a look."

Yuna took the file, nodded, and said, "I'll ask the props team to sort it out. Thank you for your hard work."

Two days later, the quiet village on the outskirts of the Arcane City was no longer peaceful as before.

Merlin arrived here with his carefully assembled photography team, and the filming of "Cinderella" officially began.

In Merlin's carefully crafted script, Cinderella's life story was reshaped.

Her parents are ordinary villagers who devoutly believe in the Moon God in this land, and Ella herself is a half-elf girl who carries out her belief in the Moon God throughout her life.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was solemn and sad.

The camera lens steadily captures every detail and emotional expression.

On the hospital bed, Ella's mother looked haggard and pale as paper. She held Ella's hands weakly. Her hands were so skinny that they seemed like they would break with a slight squeeze.

Although her eyes showed a little fatigue, they were filled with deep reluctance to leave her daughter, like a pool of water that was about to dry up but still lingered on the world.

"Rilla, dear," Rilla's mother's voice was as weak as a candle in the wind, but full of endless tenderness, "I feel that my life is slowly slipping away, and I seem to have felt the sacred call of the Moon Goddess."

Ruila's mother slowly raised her other hand and gently stroked Ruila's cheek, as if stroking the most precious treasure in the world, and said softly: "Rila, I will go to the side of Her Highness the Goddess soon. Child, don't be sad, and don't be afraid. After I leave, you must remember the teachings of the Moon God Canon. It is like a bright lamp that will illuminate every dark corner of your life and help you overcome all difficulties."

She paused slightly and took a deep breath, as if gathering her last bit of strength. She looked at Rilla, who was holding her hand tightly and had a sad face, and said with a strong smile: "Be strong and brave, be kind and good."

Ella's mother's eyes were full of love and expectation, and she continued, "The kindness stored in your little fingertips is far greater than when others put their whole heart into it. This may seem insignificant, but it is actually a power that is more powerful than you can imagine."

It is faith!" Although the voice of Ella's mother was weak, it was firm and powerful, echoing in the room like a huge bell.

"Faith?" Ella, played by Stacy, had confusion in her eyes. She repeated it subconsciously in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in her voice, like a traveler groping in the dark, trying to grasp this bit of guidance.
