Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 601

Chapter 598 Magic Weaver and Wizard Shoes

Locke flipped through the information Scarlett Witch handed him. “There are 32 first-level events in the Sports Festival, 27 apprentice-level competitions, 17 second-level competitions, and 3 third-level competitions.”

“According to the tradition of Golden Crown Mountain, this matter will be presided over by a Four-Ring Truth Wizard, and at least one of the three deans of Golden Crown Mountain will be in attendance.”

“On that day, most of the wizard mentors, senior wizard mentors, chief wizard mentors, throne wizards and truth wizards, Qinggan wizards and Sun Ring wizards in the wizard world of Golden Crown Mountain will be present.”

“Similarly, wizards from most wizarding organizations in the Golden Crown Mountain region will also be invited.”

Locke was surprised by the scale.

The wizarding world of the Southeast Corner and the Six Towers seemed so small and ridiculous compared to the sports competitions in the Golden Crown Region of the Yunze Wetlands.

This is the kind of grand event that only a wizarding land that stands at the forefront of the wizarding world is qualified to host.

Just for a celebration, they would go to so much trouble.

Locke looked at Arthas’s previous years’ flagship products on that day, and the top-ranked items were various magic robes.

These magical robes are similar to sun protection clothing, mainly used on sports festivals when too many wizards gather in one place.

For those wizard apprentices who do not have the structure to generate magic pressure, or wizards whose magic pressure is too weak, there will be certain damage.

Therefore, many wizarding organizations will take the initiative to purchase some magic robes and distribute them to the weak wizards who are watching the game.

Moreover, the contestants and many spectators do not want the excessive concentration of demonic pressure to have a slight impact on their physical condition, causing them to lose a game or cause an experiment to fail after they return.

Therefore, all kinds of magical clothing that can block magical pressure radiation will sell well on that day.

The magic suit made of matte spider silk fabric has always been a hot-selling item at sports festivals.

Locke quickly flipped through the information. “Besides magic vests, the best-selling items are magic wristbands, wizard kneepads, magic weapon armor, and… wizard shoes!”

Scarlett Witch’s eyes lit up when she heard Locke had paid attention to the key point. She took a sip of duck head tea and said, “Even if it wasn’t the Sports Festival, wizard shoes are the best-selling sporting goods.”

“Even easier to sell than those magic robes.”

“Having a good pair of wizard shoes can maximize your athletic ability and help you get a better ranking in the competition.”

“Among the thirty-two first-level wizard competitions, there are a lot of running-related events—the 100-meter Elemental Track Charge, the 30,000-meter Mirror Maze Life-or-Death Race, the Magic Pet 3,000-meter Relay. Even wizards competing in the Spell Combat Competition need a good pair of wizard shoes.”

“It will be very helpful to them.”

“Among all the sports competitions in the Sanze Land, magic combat competitions are unique in terms of viewership and commercial value. Therefore, magic combat competitions range from apprentice level, first ring, second ring, to third ring.”

“Each stage has its own different major graded competitions.”

“There are even dedicated major leagues, minor leagues, and top-level fighting clubs, each with its own exclusive market.”

Scarlett Witch said, “In short, wizard shoes have always been the top-selling sporting goods and are an economic engine.”

Locke nodded slightly.

However, it’s too late now.

If you want to get a piece of the pie, it is obviously too late to design and manufacture products from scratch.

He quickly searched for suitable targets among the two major magical sporting goods, magic clothes and wizard shoes.

Locke flipped through some information on magical clothing compiled by Scarlett Witch and pointed to a piece called the Ranger’s Windrunner Cloak. “This product seems to be selling very well. The main materials are fire salamander skin, storm bird feathers, and petrified lizard scales, mixed with dried Gulard grass to form the raw materials.”

“In the 100-meter Elemental Track Charge Competition, a one-ring wizard wearing it once won the championship, so there are a series of subsequent works. I think I can improve the Gulad Grass a little bit…”

“Working with the Mageweavers who produce the Ranger’s Windrunner Cape line.”

Scarlett Witch shook her head slightly. “Locke, your idea is indeed a good one. Cooperating with this champion product line can guarantee sales for our products, and you are very capable.”

“But the developers of the Ranger Windrunner Cloak series of magical garments will only cooperate with a few fixed breeders. Even if there are better breeders.”

“I know the wizard behind this product. He’s a stubborn, ordinary second-ring wizard from Bonifacius University. He only works with breeders he knows. He also despises breeding, believing that the most important thing for a product is his vision for selecting materials and his weaving skills as a magic weaver.”

Scarlett Witch shook her head and said, “Magic clothing is the domain of wizards who specialize in textiles. And textile workshops have a characteristic: they tend to be small and closed, so I think it’s a bit difficult to do business with them.”

“Unless you know a textile wizard, then it would be possible.”

Scarlett Witch reminded Locke.

Obviously, as a gold medal trader, she knows a lot of inside information that Locke doesn’t know.

This is also her expertise.

Locke thought for a moment and said, “As a breeder, it’s not my place to get involved in the magic clothing industry, right?”

This is a problem with the entire industry system. Clearly, the magic weavers regard the breeders as their subordinate industry.

In the entire field of magic clothing, the status of breeders is not very high.

This is not because of the relationship between the two magic categories, but purely because the status of breeders who joined the magic clothing field in Yunze Wetland in the past was relatively low.

Therefore, the status of the breeders involved in the production of magic clothes in Yunze Wetland is relatively low.

Locke looked at the information about wizard shoes.

Scarlett Witch said, “Wizard shoes, the breeders aren’t very involved.”

“However, in the field of wizard shoes, your status as a breeder is relatively high. This is mainly because several powerful three-ring breeders have research teams under them and have joined this industry.”

“Of course, whether it’s magic clothes or wizard shoes, they are actually the domain of wizards who specialize in textile magic from the alchemical school. They are the protagonists.”

Scarlett Witch said, “You can take a look at the wizard balls. Among the wizard ball products, many are magical plants cultivated by breeders. Wizard balls are used in many ball-based wizard competitions, such as the Meteor Ball Competition!”

“Of course, most useful wizard balls are the work of alchemists and magic weavers.”

Locke flipped through it and his eyes suddenly lit up, because there were several types of wizard shoes that were not magic weapons, nor were they the works of magic weavers.

It was a shoe-shaped magical plant!
If that was the case, then I could definitely forgo the magic weaver and sell wizard shoes myself.

Although if you want to use magic plants, you need to have at least a certain understanding of botany, otherwise it will be difficult to form a magic grafting relationship with the plants. Even if you can use it, you won’t be able to use it well.

But the wizard shoe market is huge, and even wizard shoes that focus on botanical wizard athletes are a good option.

“Slipper orchids, snapdragon dried pod shoes, calla lily shoes, twin pod shoes…”

Scarlett Witch didn’t expect that Locke would finally lock on to the pure magic plant wizard shoes.

She frowned slightly. That wasn’t a big market.

However, Scarlett Witch quickly realized something. “At the last Golden Crown Mountain Sports Festival, there was indeed a pair of pure magic plant wizard shoes that made it into the top 100 of the day’s total sales charts, ranking exactly 100th.”

“It’s called the Hummingbird Pineapple Shoes.”

“That breeder did indeed earn millions of magic stones from these wizard shoes. At the time, some magic weavers were quite critical of these wizard shoes that stole their limelight, believing that the breeders shouldn’t compete with them for the market.”

“These shoes are the most successful pure plant magic wizard shoes in recent times. Most importantly, they provide a way for non-botanical wizards to use them normally. The enchanter can enchant the surface with a plant magic, and then combine it with some simple textile techniques to transform it into a magical weapon.”

“Wizards only need to activate the botanical magic enchanted on them and practice a little, and they will be able to manipulate these shoes.”

Locke smiled.

This means that the wizard has turned the tables in this product, focusing on breeding, combined with textile science and enchantment science.

However, the two main elements of wizard shoes, enchantment and textile, were placed in a supporting position.

It’s no wonder that a lot of textile wizards have opinions about this.

If it were wizards from other wizard lands, they might just pretend not to see it. But Yunze Wetland, as the headquarters of textile wizards, how could they turn a blind eye to this?

Scarlett Witch found the information about this product and said, “If you want to improve this product, Locke, it might be possible. You can read some related articles and patents about this product. That way, you won’t have to deal with the annoyance of those magic weavers.”

Scarlett Witch smiled and said, “Otherwise, if you cooperate with those magic weavers, even you will probably be tortured by them.”

“It’s just wizard shoes made of pure magic plants. After all, they are too niche. They won’t sell well, and the technical system is not very complete.”

“Of course, if it’s just to make some money, it should be enough.”

“I think your choice is quite reasonable and relatively easy to implement.”

Locke nodded slightly. There might be some magic plants in the first-ring shoes, but their number is relatively small.

Compared with the Magic Weaver and Wizard Shoes, which has a complete industry and a completely different means system, it is even more incomparable.

But the problem is that I don’t have time to find a wizard shoe production studio and slowly cooperate with them.

Moreover, acting as a downstream of those studios and providing magic plant materials as resources for the development of new magic threads actually does not make much money.

It is also an innovative product, but if you choose the wrong direction, it will only be a wedding dress for others.

And I have the overlord technology in my hands.

After comprehensive consideration, a pair of pure magic plant wizard shoes that had been a dark horse in the last sports festival and had entered the top 100 in total sales were made dominant.

After comprehensive strengthening, it would be more realistic for me to sell it as my own product, the Wizard Shoes, on the day of the Sports Festival.

Locke asked, “But, is that wizard still selling the same style of wizard shoes at this sports festival? I think he seems to have published the patent for the Hummingbird Pineapple Wizard Shoes.”

“Coincidentally, I’ve recently gained a deep understanding of pineapple-type magical plants.”

Scarlett Witch shook her head slightly. “Unfortunately, not only will he not be selling any products at this Sports Festival, but he won’t be selling any products in the future either.”

“He’s dead.”

Locke was stunned for a moment.

Scarlett Witch said, “This wizard’s name is Peter. Three years ago, he reached a magic pressure of 9999, and the magic pressure is escaping from his soul at every moment. He has entered the most dangerous stage for wizards before breaking through the second ring – the soul decline period.”

Locke’s face was serious.

Because in the near future, I will also enter a period of spiritual decline.

That is the most terrifying part of breaking through the second ring. It is like a quagmire. No matter how great your ability is, you have nowhere to use it.

Witch Scarlett said, “Later, in order to advance to the second-ring wizard, he boarded a void battleship and traveled to the distant void to conquer the plane. He never returned and must have died during the plane conquest.”

Locke thought for a moment and remembered the last time that the great wizard Sura and another dark wizard were both plotted against by the world will of the wizard plane.

It’s basically a lose-lose situation.

Plane conquest is a very dangerous thing.

Moreover, he recently recalled the promotion experience of the great wizard Sura, and always felt that there seemed to be something wrong.

You have to know that the great wizard Sura’s experience was a failure, not a success, so you cannot completely learn from him.

Instead, we should reflect on why he failed.

Locke said, “According to the White Wizard Association, the works of deceased wizards will be patented publicly, right? I understand.”

“Well, Scarlett Witch, let’s do this for now. I’ll try to improve the giant hummingbird pineapple magic plant. By the way, these wizard shoes require cooperation with an alchemist. What do you recommend?”

Scarlett Witch shook her head. “You’ll have to find it yourself, Locke, but I can provide you with a small-scale dimensional production base specializing in the production of magical plants.”

“There’s a large amount of cheap labor over there. One magic stone can hire a dozen wizard apprentices to work hard for you for a whole year…”

“There are also magic fields. They don’t cost any money. The world is vast. As long as you open up the wasteland and cultivate a magic field, that field will be yours.”

Locke was stunned for a moment. “Is this possible?”

“This labor cost is too low. A first-class wizard apprentice in Yunze Wetland costs about a thousand magic stones a month, and a second-class wizard apprentice costs at least a hundred magic stones a month.”

A third-class wizard apprentice couldn’t do any work and would only cause trouble, so Locke didn’t say anything.

Locke asked, “Will the Ethics Review Committee not take care of this kind of thing if it’s harvested this way?”

“Why should we worry about this? These rules were originally set by the Holy Masters.” Scarlett Witch said nonchalantly, “For those natives, magic stones are very valuable. Besides, they are already very satisfied to be able to work for us, Arthas.”

“Alsace has many such colonized worlds. A large number of Alsace’s industries have been moved from the main world to the major colonized worlds. These worlds will also have many benefits, which can improve them and improve the world’s rules…”

“So, the colonial world itself also welcomes Arthas.”

Locke said, “I see.”

Locke spoke a few more words to Scarlett Witch, and then they separated.

He didn’t understand the details of the relationship between Alsace and the colonial world, and it was not something he could control.

However, developing the Overlord Hummingbird Pineapple Shoes is indeed a project worth trying.

In the middle of the night, Locke went to the Fairy Family Bank in the Dragon Blood Market Castle, wanting to quickly complete a project and use the Queen’s Chessboard.

The magic stones he currently has are not enough, so he has to apply for another loan of 500,000 magic stones.

The Hummingbird Pineapple Shoes themselves have guaranteed sales, so Locke dared to take out a loan to speed up research and development and production.

I think even if I lose money, at least I can get a bottom line.

If you miss the Sports Festival, you will have to wait another five years for the next one.

It would be a pity for me who is in urgent need of a lot of resources to break through to the second-ring wizard level.

So, you can try your best.
