"I'm not crazy. This is a necessary investment. It's an alchemical tool called the Communication Crystal. Every teacher and student must have one. This will facilitate the implementation of the credit system." Merlin said, holding up the Communication Crystal.
"Now, I will introduce to you the importance of the communication crystals in your hands. Please inject magic power into the communication crystals and activate them."
Although the teachers were still confused about Merlin's true intentions, the teachers present, the deans of the six major branches, and Vice Dean Jenny still did as Merlin instructed.
Ever since they compromised with Merlin, they have become accustomed to accepting his "orders", a subtle change that they themselves are not even aware of.
When the teachers used their magic to activate the communication crystal, the crystal flickered and the emblem of the Arcane Academy appeared on the main screen. Immediately afterwards, four square-shaped application icons appeared on the screen, namely "My Academy", "Fetion", "My Wallet" and "App Store".
This scene made the teachers present feel a little confused. They looked at each other and wondered in their hearts: "What are these four things?"
Merlin saw this and began his introduction: "Teachers, this is the new communication crystal software I developed recently. Please open the "My Academy" application first. Just tap it with your finger. Of course, you can also use mental power to control it."
The teachers opened the "My Academy" software as instructed and were instantly shocked by the content inside. The software interface is clear and divided into several main areas:
1. College Introduction: A brief introduction to the history, mission and vision of the Arcane College, as well as the courses, faculty and deans of the six branches, so that new teachers and students can quickly understand the background of the college.
2. College Map: Provides a detailed college map, including the locations of teaching buildings, laboratories, libraries, dormitories, etc. It even displays your location within the college, making it easy for teachers and students to quickly find the places they need.
3. College Forum: A platform for communication and discussion between teachers and students, where teachers can publish teaching announcements and students can share their learning experiences and insights.
4. College Policies: List the college's rules and regulations in detail to ensure that every teacher and student has a clear understanding of the college's management and requirements.
5. My Partition: This is a personalized area where the basic identity information of the crystal holder will be displayed, and information such as credits, rewards and punishments, etc. will also be recorded. Students can view their own course schedules, while student union members can activate specific student union functions and teachers can enter teacher mode.
The teachers were amazed by all this. They never expected that this small communication crystal could accommodate so many functions and greatly improve the management and communication efficiency of the college.
Merlin did not stop, he continued to introduce: "Next is 'Fetion', it is a very convenient communication tool."
Text and voice communication: Teachers and students can send messages anytime and anywhere to facilitate communication.
Video call: supports face-to-face communication, especially suitable for one-on-one guidance.
Circle of Friends: Users can share their study life and enhance the understanding and interaction between teachers and students.
What Merlin created was a simplified version of WeChat from another world. The teachers were shocked again after hearing the introduction. They realized the convenience of this software in daily communication in the academy and couldn't help but discuss the potential of this new tool with each other.
"As for the 'My Wallet' function," Merlin coughed, attracting everyone's attention, "as the name suggests, it's a place to store money. In order to facilitate the students of the Arcane Academy, our Merlin Company has developed a service for recharging the Communication Crystal with gold coins. As long as you deposit money in Merlin Company, the corresponding gold, silver, and copper coin numbers will be displayed in the Communication Crystal wallet. You can use this money to trade with other people who have Communication Crystals. The effect is similar to that of the Magic Crystal Card. It's very convenient."
These words shocked many teachers. They didn't expect Merlin to dare to seize the magic crystal card business. Vice Dean Jenny couldn't help but look at him in shock, thinking to herself: "Isn't this kid afraid that the Aize Federal Bank will come to kill him?"
Merlin seemed to see her worry and explained with a smile: "The wallet is currently only circulated within the Arcane Academy, so please rest assured, teachers, I have absolutely no intention of competing with the Federal Bank for business. The Magic Crystal Card can still be used in the academy."
After listening to Merlin's explanation, the teachers breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little calmer. However, Merlin smiled slightly, thinking that when these students are used to paying with communication crystals, who would still use the troublesome magic crystal cards? It won’t be too late to expand mobile payment then.
Merlin showed a sinister smile, as if he had foreseen the future business blueprint. The hickey laughter echoed in his heart, full of expectations and confidence for the future.
"As for the App Store, that's where you can use magic to download new apps after you develop them in the future."
Merlin smiled at all the teachers after he finished speaking. "Well, with this thing, the use of the credit system won't be so troublesome. Teachers can use the communication crystal to issue credits, and the same goes for students."
The teachers were speechless. They didn't expect Merlin to have quietly created such a fresh and convenient alchemical tool. This new student union president really couldn't be viewed with common sense. However, when they thought that the dean of the Arcane Academy was standing behind Merlin, they felt relieved.
After learning about the importance and necessity of the communication crystal, Merlin's proposal was naturally passed directly. This also made Vice President Jenny heartbroken for a long time. She felt that the current financial situation of the Arcane Academy was shaky and there was a risk of collapse at any time.
Merlin gave Vice Dean Jenny a reassuring look. He knew what the Vice Dean was worried about, which was nothing more than not having enough money. He actually wanted to say that the Vice Dean should just step down and let him take over. There were so many places where the Arcane Academy could make money, but you had forced it into a fiscal deficit. If it were him, he would have planned to dominate the continent of Aize long ago.
Dean Harrington raised his hand and said, "Merlin, the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop can indeed produce the communication crystal, but mass production may not be possible. We don't have enough manpower, not to mention that this thing is not easy to make..."
"These are not problems. I have already thought of a solution. You don't have to worry about the manpower. As for the production... just listen to me when the time comes." Merlin thought to himself, you have never seen what an assembly line factory is. As for manpower, are you still short of people in the Arcane Academy? Aren’t those students ready-made cattle and horses?
