Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 573

Chapter 570: Jinmian Mountain’s reaction, 6.5 million magic stones in horizontal income!

In group six, the Celtic leader is drinking wizard wine with the leader of group three [Witch Esther]. The wizard wine from the wine capital of Yuze Swamp makes people feel sweet and relaxed after drinking it.

Wizarding alcohol is the invention of potion makers. Over 70% of the Rainswamp is marshland, but this has also given rise to a rich culture of koji. Advanced breeding and potion science, combined with the unique geographical environment, have created the most advanced koji culture in the wizarding world.

Team Leader Celt was savoring the delicious wine, but at that moment, Witch Esther suddenly took out the Wish Ganoderma and said to Team Leader Celt, “Little Celt, did you know that Locke from your team six has published his work on the Alsace platform?”

Team leader Celtic was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Oh, yes, today is September 1st, the True Love Day organized by the Rose Council. So, Esther, which wizard have you taken a fancy to? Do you want to buy a magical bouquet too?”

Esther gave him a cold look and said, “If you keep talking too much, I’ll be rude to you. Forget it, just watch it for yourself.”

“Locke’s Five-Headed Snake has reached number five on today’s sales chart! The Five-Headed Snake Magic Plant is a vine-type defensive magic plant, not even a magic bouquet.”

When Team Leader Celt saw the picture Esther showed him, he instantly came to his senses. The second-ring wizard could see the first-ring interface and the second-ring interface of the Alsace Shop Alliance’s partner interface.

At this time, in the first ring interface, Locke’s five-headed snake magic plant ranked fifth on the homepage’s sales list.

Team Leader Celtic sobered up immediately and quickly calculated the profits. “Tens of millions in sales? Locke’s profit would be at least two million, maybe three million.”

“Wow, a first-ring wizard like him can earn ten third-class funds from the Academy of True Knowledge, or six second-class funds from the Academy of True Knowledge, just by selling a work like this?”

Although it takes ten times the horizontal amount to equal one times the vertical amount, the vertical amount not only represents the amount, but also the right to use the equipment, relevant status, the difficulty of applying for funds in the future, and resume.

But the money earned horizontally is real.

At this moment, Team Leader Celtic gave a wry smile. “This guy even makes more money than a second-level wizard like me.”

“However, if it’s Locke, it’s normal for him to earn so much money. He’s a talented person, and my team six is even more powerful with him. Well, thanks to the throne for trusting me, he assigned such a great person to my team.”

The Celtic team leader started to show off.

Witch Esther gave him a cold look. “Don’t be so quick to brag. Locke is indeed a talent, but the problem is that you are his direct supervisor.”

Team leader Celt’s face changed slightly. He quickly took out the Ganoderma Lucidum Magic Plant from his Star Ring and opened the communication interface. His contact interface was bombarded with information from the leaders of the Senate of the major Golden Crown Mountains.

Although no three-ring wizards have intervened in this matter so far, the ones bombarded with information are the two-ring real-forged Sun Ring wizards, or the fake-forged Moon Ring wizards, who are very powerful among the two-ring wizards.

Among them, one of the three deputy ministers of the Senate’s Student Affairs Department, a second-ring True Forging Wizard—the Sun Ring Wizard—directly asked him, “Kelt, your team members are secretly collaborating with Arthas. Did you know about this? Now the wizards from the Rose Council have come to ask me if this is what we at Golden Crown Mountain are doing.”

“People suspect we’re sabotaging the Rose Council’s multi-million dollar investment in True Love Festival publicity, as well as the wealth accumulated over generations. They ask if I can shoulder the responsibility. Do you know about these things?”

‘Hurry up and reply to me! Celtic!’

Celtic’s expression changed slightly. “This is like stirring up a hornet’s nest. Are the people in the Senate crazy? They’re all sending me messages like crazy.”

Esther took a sip of wizard wine, then pointed at the rankings and said, “It’s not the people in the Senate who are crazy, it’s the people in the Rose Council who are going crazy. Look at the rankings. The True Love Festival is not only a festival for the Rose Council to make money, but also a festival to promote their rose language studies.”

“The advertising they spent in Alsace alone this time was in the tens of millions. Some products seemed to be selling well, but in reality, they were making tens of millions in sales and tens of millions out. The money just passed through like water, and all of it was used to buy advertising.”

“It turns out that four of the entries on this ranking list aren’t Magic Bouquet works. Especially Little Locke’s work, which is already fifth. If it had made it into the top three, I’d guess the three-ring wizard from the Rose Council would have come knocking on my door.”

Esther said, “If only Little Locke’s work made the list, it would be fine; it would just be his unique case. But now, there are four people on the list at once. It looks like the four of us have joined forces and are deliberately causing trouble. Especially Little Locke and Diana of Bonifacius, who are currently on the side of the Lord of the Throne.”

“Come to think of it, three of these four people are in the top three of the Yunze Cup. I guess the wizard in the Yunze Cup Tournament Committee Office of Bonifacius University is very happy in his office right now.”

This incident was a small blow to the Rose Council, but for Bonifacius University, it greatly increased the value of the competition hosted by their university.

Esther checked the forum of Bonifacius University on the Water Hyacinth Network and saw that many wizards, even wizard apprentices, were discussing this matter and praising the three contestants of the Yunze Cup to the sky.

“What are you going to do, Team Leader Celtic?” Esther said, looking pleased with herself. “Are you going to just go through with it yourself, or are you going to push little Locke out and let him explain himself to the wizards from the Senate’s Student Affairs Department?”

Team leader Celtic immediately took screenshots of all the bombarding messages sent to him by the Japanese Ring Wizard from the Student Affairs Department, and forwarded them to the Throne of Catherine.

Thirty seconds later, Ekaterina the Witch sent a ‘?’

Team leader Celt smiled at Esther and said, “I don’t choose either one. I’ll just forward the message sent to me by the Vice Minister of Student Affairs to Lord Throne. They don’t dare to approach Lord Throne, but only an ordinary second-ring wizard like me.”

“But Lord Throne is still quite concerned about Locke, so just leave this matter to Lord Throne to handle.”

Esther looked at Celtic in surprise and said, “Little Celtic, you actually dared to approach Lord Throne. It seems Lord Throne is too easy to talk to. You were almost persuaded to resign by the higher-ups before, but it was Lord Throne who gave you the opportunity to stay. Since then, you seem to be very afraid of the academy’s top management.”

Team Leader Celtic smiled and said helplessly, “I’ve just hit rock bottom and bounced back. Besides, Locke is my trump card now. As his direct supervisor, I definitely can’t let the complex struggles of the academy affect him.”

Soon, the aggressive tone of the Sun Ring Wizard from the Senate’s Academic Affairs Department suddenly softened, and he sent a message to Celtic, “Celtic Wizard, I just wanted to ask you whether we at Golden Crown Mountain were in the wrong, or if this was purely coincidental, so that I can determine my attitude towards the wizards of the Rose Council.”

“Why would you send my message to Queen Catherine?”

“This matter doesn’t need to be handled by a three-ring wizard. You completely misunderstood me. Please help me explain to the Lord of the Throne.”

Team leader Celtic made a helpless expression, then a sweating expression, and said, “Minister, I’m just an ordinary second-ring officer. This matter is beyond my authority. You should explain it to the Lord of the Throne yourself.”

Celt immediately closed his message interface and saw a message from the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Department.

The Deputy Minister of Academic Affairs said to Celtic, “One of your wizards, Locke Augustine, has a magical plant that topped the Alsace 24-hour sales chart during True Love Festival. We’ve decided to reward him with a Water Jade Peach.”

“Although this is just an Alsace ranking, his actions demonstrate the level of breeding in our Golden Crown Mountain as a highly efficient agricultural region. It’s worthy of encouragement.”

“Therefore, the Ministry of Academic Affairs is preparing to give them special rewards.”

Celtic and Esther were not surprised by this, because most of the wizards in the Academic Affairs Department were members of their Academic Committee, so the Academic Affairs Department belonged to the Academic Committee faction and would naturally favor them.

The deacon inspection team among the three major local forces in Jinmian Mountain remained neutral and completely ignored this matter.

Because after all, this is just a horizontal project.

It is not the fundamental interest of the three forces.

After Celt replied to the Deputy Minister of Academic Affairs, he sent a congratulatory message to Locke.

Seeing this, Esther thought about it and hesitated whether to congratulate Diana, the witch who was being jointly trained in their group, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do so.

Because there is no need.

First of all, Witch Diana had just joined their group, and as a two-ring star ring wizard, there was no need for her to please her.

Secondly, Witch Diana is not from their university, they just jointly trained her.

The most important thing is that as a star ring wizard, Esther has already established a firm foothold in Golden Crown Mountain. Her status and strength are much higher than that of an ordinary second-ring wizard like Celtic.

Therefore, there was no need for her to do such a thing that would lower her status.

Unlike Celtic, she did not need a wizard’s talent to do projects in order to allow her to stay in Golden Crown Mountain.

Every second-ring wizard is the future of a first-ring wizard, so naturally they need to be respectful to a first-ring wizard.

This is also to make the first-ring wizards respect truth and magic.

At the same time, in the Yunze Cup Competition Committee office of Bonifacius University, Director Morrison was smiling and talking to the Mekanian machine spirit through a two-ring magic space mirror in front of him.

At this point, Director Morrison burst into laughter.

The little Machine Spirit girl looked at him in confusion. “Master Morrison, why are you so happy?”

Morrison’s eyes were filled with laughter. “Remember Edgar David, Diana Witch, and Locke Augustine? Their works topped the Alsace 24-hour sales charts during the Rose Council’s True Love Festival. I imagine the Rose Council’s academy leaders must be shocked and furious right now.”

“I’ll contact the person right away. This is the best way to promote our Yunze Cup commercial event. We should take advantage of this dramatic development to promote the Yunze Cup and spread the rumor that the runner-up, champion, and third-place winners will team up to dominate the leaderboard.”

“The news headline is called the Yunze Cup Three Gods Slaughter List!”

“Okay, this name is really great!”

Director Morrison did what he said and immediately contacted the editor-in-chief of Frog Newspaper, one of the largest news newspapers in Yunze Wetland, and took the initiative to send the hot spots, key points and related information to the other party.

The two sides are already old friends.

He was also given 5 Magic Crystal Card transfers from the Fairy Bank as a gift.

The other party immediately sent him an ‘OK’ emoticon.

The little girl with the machine spirit rolled her eyes, and she immediately recalled the three wizards with the characteristics of the second ring. She pursed her lips and recalled with some pain the memory of being chased by Locke, when she was almost caught up.

The Machine Spirit girl thought for a moment, then took advantage of Director Morrison’s cheerfulness to ask tentatively, “Then, Mr. Morrison, regarding my request for a new alchemical chip, would you approve it? It only requires about one million magic stones to upgrade my computing power…”

When Director Morrison heard about the money, he suddenly shuddered and immediately realized what was happening. He frowned and said, “What do you need so much money for? One million magic stones can buy a hundred ordinary first-level magic weapons. Although they are less powerful, they can also buy about five or six crystallized first-level magic weapons.”

“You want so many magic stones… It’s not about the money. Also, with the increased computing power, your combat effectiveness will increase too much, which will affect your future Yunze Cup competitions. How about this? I’ll approve 300,000 magic stones for you. That’s the limit. You can use these magic stones to play.”

The Yunze Cup Tournament Committee has its own tournament fund. After all, this is a profitable commercial competition, so Director Morrison can be so wealthy. It’s not his money anyway.

Spending three hundred thousand on the machine soul can be considered as paying the price.

The little Machine Spirit girl sighed. “That’s too stingy.”

…

Inside the dormitory at Golden Crown Mountain, Locke saw a congratulatory message from Scarlett Witch. “Congratulations! Although I had anticipated this, I didn’t expect the sales of the Five-Headed Snake to be so good.”

“You have earned a total of 6.5 million magic stones!”

“That’s an outrageous number. However, after my team and I worked hard to stimulate and fully tap into potential, and after I purchased some traffic for you, I estimate that the sales of Hydra and Pentadra have temporarily reached their limit. We probably won’t be able to make any money from now on.”

This is related to Locke’s marketing strategy and Alsace’s marketing policy.

Anyway, that day had indeed unleashed the potential of both products in the Jinmian Mountain region and in part in the Yunze Wetlands. As a result, Locke had earned a whopping 6.5 million magic stones in a single day!
With this batch of magic stones, Locke began to think about where to rent the Queen’s Chessboard.

Even though the Queen’s Chessboard is a three-ring magic weapon, as long as he has money, he can still rent this equipment outside of Golden Crown Mountain, and use it to complete the analysis at the Force level, and publish research related to Overlord Factor No. 2, while also conducting some Overlord Factor research himself.

At the same time, Locke also had to continue purchasing a ring of magic plants to fill his own forest sanctuary.

It takes time to assimilate trees in the Forest Sanctuary, so the sooner you transplant more trees, the better.

Some things are more powerful the older they are, and the Forest Sanctuary happens to be such a thing!
In addition, with these things, I can safely learn the Peach Arc Thorn Arrow, and even inquire about information about medium-sized planes and above.

After all, to advance to the second-ring wizard level, he still needed a medium-sized plane!
“Besides, with this money, I no longer have to wait a month. This month, I can complete my second-class True Knowledge Academy Fund project and apply to the academy for a first-class True Knowledge Academy Fund project.” Locke said, “Money is truly an accelerator of everything.”

“With the money, I can also cultivate the Rubber Duck Crown Pineapple in large quantities and sell it to those lightning wizards, so that they can buy it and conduct related research. Unfortunately, Thunderbirds and Lightning Bees don’t have any particularly large industries, so the economic value of the Rubber Duck Crown Pineapple is not very large, it can only be considered a small amount of money.”
