Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 289 Magazine
After washing the dishes, Phaethon picked up the mail order catalog he had seen yesterday.

"In other words, this thing is really a treasure." There is no such habit in Rome.The reason is the same as I said before, because the distance between several metropolitan areas in Rome is too far, and it will take several months to arrive by mail.

The situation in Rome is more like a super giant Lanfang.If the Mediterranean Sea is regarded as the South Sea, then several large cities such as Constantinople, Alexandria, and Rome are huge versions of Pontianak and Xingzhou.Relying on sea transportation between cities can carry out smooth industrial cooperation, but it lacks timeliness for personal consumption.

So the Romans preferred information exchange over material exchange.For example, the "post game" that Phaethon also played. There are many magazines of this type in Rome.

"Ah, I found it." Phaethon also found the same game in this mail order catalog, which was chess.Various types of chess are available. In addition to traditional chess and Go, you can also play more complex games such as "Heroes Tour".This catalog also has such gameplay.

It is also very simple to play, that is, players mail their "actions" to the publishing house, and then publish it.It is generally printed in the form of a magazine, but one issue can be issued every day, and the sales volume is not bad.In addition to the players who participated in the game, occasionally very classic games can be downloaded in the magazine, which can attract people who eat melons to buy.

Compared with offline face-to-face games, postal games can provide more professional services, such as illustrations of battle scenes, more professional and in-depth scripts, etc.With the assistance of professional hosts, players can also create more interesting stories.

If Shangluo was here, he would feel very familiar.Because this is no different from running a group on the forum, you use posting to act, and you run one round a day.

Although the price of participating in the game is relatively expensive, playing "Hero Tour" is especially expensive, but it is quite an interesting experience to complete a game with friends from all over the world through the telegraph line.

And there are also many games that are difficult to play on the desktop-such as simultaneous backgammon.Both sides move at the same time. In the game, it is also necessary to consider the opponent's position, and the preemption of the position by the offensive and defensive sides.This thing is very exciting, and because the process is shorter, the total cost will be less.

"Sure enough, it's also very expensive here. It costs 20 coins to move one step. Eh? What's the way to play simultaneous Go? Two people move at the same time to play Go? Won't your brain burn out?" This kind of "synchronized chess" moves simultaneously Sometimes there are regulations about the "offensive and defensive" sides. For example, in backgammon, the side with 4 pieces plays the 5th piece, which is an "offensive".

"But Go is much more complicated than backgammon, and it's amazing that it can be played."

Compared with brain-burning chess and the like, she still prefers the simple and direct joy of "Heroes Parade".She turned to the next page, which was a special page of Heroes Tour, which introduced the price of the group.

"It's actually a lot cheaper, probably because the distance is shorter, and the communication lines here are denser. Eh???" Her eyes lit up, "So it's possible to transfer files?"

The interesting thing about the game "Heroes Parade" is that because the rules are common and every step in the mail game has been publicly confirmed, the character value is trustworthy.Just like a jigsaw puzzle, even if the middle piece is removed, its shape can be confirmed by the edges of the surrounding pieces.Such "credible" character data can continue in other battles after the end of a game.Equipment, skills, and experience points can all be kept until the next time.

Some in-depth plots are prepared for such high-skilled characters, and there are also regularly opened special "treasure hunting" popular battles, such as the "Jack and London" expansion pack that can obtain space storage props.Naturally, Phaeton also had them, and she beat them all.

But she also just learned that data can also be shared between Rome and Cathay, as long as the files need to be transferred.The method is very simple, as long as you write to the publisher of "Heroes' Tour" in Athens, "The God of War Council", referred to as the "Areopagus Company" publishing house.You can transfer the file to Yujing by paying the handling fee, and the handling fee is only .
"Ah, what should I do, the group addiction is on the rise, I really want to switch my role to play, level 12 Titan Warrior!"

She couldn't help it, and covered the column of handling fee with her finger.But it looks like there are only three digits.As long as you spend three digits, you can transfer the save file and continue playing.

"No, no, no! Calm down, Miss Phaedon" she patted herself on the face, "Be sober for me, don't waste a penny if it's not necessary!! Calm down! Calm down!"

In the end, she still held back and didn't look at the price.The burden of reality forced Phaethon to stop at the boundary of desire.

Turning back to the catalog page, she found a column that published part-time job information.

The part-time job information is piled up on the entire page like instant noodles on the shelf, but the format of the information is relatively similar. She first confirmed the most critical salary part:
"It turns out that the hourly wages are almost the same. It really is a highly industrialized paradise. The development here has reached saturation."

She turned a few pages and came back.Confirmed, the hourly wages of all part-time jobs are similar, between 50 and 60 per hour, and rarely more than 70.

Most of the jobs do not have any requirements other than "over 16 years old" - because with the benchmark of "Aurora Citizens", most people's benchmark level can be qualified for this kind of work.For example, golden arch store employees who provide standard services do not need any conditions, and they can go to work if they are over 16 years old.

However, if you have the corresponding professional quality and some experience in helping the kitchen, you can apply for the back kitchen's Dahe, with an average hourly salary of about 60.If you apply for a job with strict restrictions on image like a drugstore, the hourly salary can exceed 70.

Closing the booklet, she thought about it: "Based on 50, I work 16 hours a day, 800 a day, 24000 a month, which can meet the requirements, and there is still some leftovers. I will also send a set of face cream to Shangluo at that time. But drug store."

She rubbed her temples: "I'm a stupid person. I'd better go directly to the Golden Arches."

I looked at the requirements - the interview at the Golden Arch requires black pants and black shoes, so that you can go straight to work with the uniform.

"Then you have to wear this."

Wearing the previous school uniform, Phaethon walked out the gate.

Now at 8 o'clock in the morning, I went to the nearest Golden Arch to apply for an internship and just finished my morning shift.But it is impossible for a store to schedule her 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, or 30 days a month.She did the math, she needed to find at least five Golden Arches to work at the same time to fill her schedule.
