"If you are not used to living in a dormitory, we also have single dormitories here, which can definitely meet all the needs of students."
Afterwards, the group came to the cafeteria.
At this time, the cafeteria was filled with the lingering aroma of food. Merlin pointed to the food window and the neat tables and chairs and introduced: "The food in our cafeteria is even better. It brings together specialties from all over the world. It is nutritionally balanced and delicious. The children just tasted it today and they all praised it."
The parents smelled the lingering aroma and imagined their own children eating with relish, and they felt completely relieved.
Not only that, Merlin also took the parents to the school next door and introduced it with great enthusiasm: "In order to let the children relax after school, we have a variety of entertainment venues here."
"Look, this is the duel venue for the Legend Duel card game, and over there, it's the Mahjong room that's all the rage in the Arcane City recently. Mahjong is an interesting game that can be used for entertainment while also enhancing friendships among classmates."
"There is also a hot spring bathing area. When you are tired from studying, you can go to the hot spring to relax your muscles and mind, and then you can devote yourself to study again with full energy the next day. I believe that in such an excellent environment, the children will be able to concentrate on their studies and make great strides towards the civil service positions in the Arcane City."
Merlin introduced them one by one as children. Actually, almost no one taking the civil service exam here was younger than him, but he just wanted to say that, putting himself in the position of an "elder".
The parents listened to Merlin's introduction, looked around, their eyes full of amazement and joy, and instantly felt relieved. They exclaimed: "This is really a good place! We feel relieved to leave our children here."
They chattered among themselves, full of expectations for their children's future.
Merlin stood aside, quietly looking at these noble parents, a meaningful smile quietly forming at the corner of his mouth.
He thought to himself: All of this carefully crafted stuff is going to cost a lot of money!
These noble children all came from wealthy families, and he wanted to drain all the gold from their pockets.
It would be best to let them indulge in this comfortable and cozy environment, and be willing to live here and spend a lot of money in order to pass the civil service exam.
However, if you want them to pay, you naturally have to serve these "leeks" well first, make them feel that their money is worth it, and even make them unable to stop.
As long as you can grasp the minds of these parents and children, why worry about the gold coins not rolling in? Thinking of this, Merlin's smile deepened, as if he had seen countless gold coins waving at him.
Mahjong, a game carefully introduced and cleverly promoted by Merlin, quickly swept across the Arcane City like a whirlwind.
It has an irresistible magic and is extremely easy to get started. Almost anyone can figure out the rules after a little trial and error. But once you get started, the addiction is like a thorn in the flesh, making it impossible to stop.
What's even more terrible is that its inherent gambling attribute is like a hook that instantly attracts these nobles, aristocratic families and profit-seeking businessmen from another world.
In today's upper-class social circles, if someone doesn't know how to play a few rounds of mahjong skillfully, it would be like walking into a fancy ball in a coarse linen shirt, which is extremely embarrassing.
With the implementation of the talent introduction policy, graduates carefully selected from all over the country have been assigned to various key positions one after another.
This made the nobles of the Arcane City very nervous. They were thinking about how to pave the way for their children and how to gain more convenience in this emerging power center.
As a result, entertaining public officials became a common tactic for them, and drinking and mahjong games were their tried-and-tested "social tools."
Tonight, in the mansion of a powerful noble, a carefully prepared "Hongmen Banquet" is quietly taking place.
The hall was brightly lit, and the light from the crystal chandeliers reflected on the expensive silk tapestries, making them sparkle. Beside an exquisitely carved mahogany table, the noble and a newly appointed official of the Arcane City sat opposite each other.
The nobleman smiled widely, stood up himself, and carefully took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet beside him. His movements were so gentle as if he was holding a rare treasure.
"It is our great honor to have you here today. Look, this is the best elven wine that has been all the rage in the upper circles recently - naturally fragrant. This wine has a great origin.
As he spoke, he gently shook the bottle in his hand, and the wine rippled in the bottle, emitting a charming luster.
Ever since Merlin came up with the unique idea of launching wine treaded by "elf's little feet", the nobles' hobbies have been thoroughly aroused.
In order to satisfy their almost perverted foot fetish, and given that the wine has a mellow taste, rich fruity aroma and excellent taste, they bought it like sharks smelling blood.
The "Natural Fragrance" series is the best among them, divided into four types: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each type embodies the winemaker's superb skills and unique ingenuity.
The spring model is like the first breeze in the spring morning, gently caressing your face, carrying the delicate fragrance of new flowers and the fresh scent of tender grass. It is soft on the palate and has a long aftertaste, symbolizing the vitality and hope of the revival of all things. The production is scarce and the price is naturally high. It is a top-notch treasure and is only opened on the most grand occasions.
The summer version is like flowers blooming under the scorching sun, with a rich fruity aroma mixed with a hint of the warm spices unique to summer. The taste is unrestrained yet elegant. The price is slightly lower than the spring version, but it is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The autumn version is like the ripe fruits in the autumn forest, exuding a deep and mellow aroma, with the rich taste of dried fruits and aged wood. It has a solid and full taste. It is a mid-to-high-end choice and is deeply loved by senior wine drinkers.
The winter version is like a quiet world covered with snow. The wine has a cool aroma with a hint of sharp mineral flavor and a sweet aftertaste. The price is relatively affordable, but it is still a luxury in the eyes of ordinary people.
And at this moment, what the noble holds in his hand is the most precious and priceless top-grade spring model.
He flatteringly poured the wine into a crystal glass and handed it to the official, his eyes full of flattery: "You are busy with official duties and work day and night. Today you should taste this rare wine and relax. This spring edition, I also went through a lot of trouble to get such a bottle. I am afraid that few people in the entire Arcane City have such a good fortune."
The graduate official nodded slightly, took the wine glass, sniffed the intoxicating aroma, a hint of subtle surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said politely: "Oh, you are too polite, such a good wine, I am really flattered."
After saying that, he took a sip, and the wine spread on the tip of his tongue. The wonderful taste made him unable to help but close his eyes slightly and immerse himself in it.
