Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 756
Chapter 753 The Huge Income of Sixteen Million Magic Stones!
After parting ways with Daniel, Locke put away the mist in his hand and opened the Water Hyacinth System to observe his personal developer backend in the Arthas Shop Alliance.
It showed that his improved version of the Great Snow-capped Pineapple Wizard Shoes (Demon Realm Pineapple Wizard Shoes) was currently ranked number one on the sales chart for first-ring wizard shoes!
In just a few days, he had sold over five hundred pairs, earning him twelve million magic stones, or 1200 magic crystal cards!
Locke sat in his bedroom, ordering one of his elven maids to clean, while wondering why sales had suddenly increased so much.
You see, wizard shoes costing fifty thousand magic stones a pair weren’t actually that cheap; while there were many wizards, there were also many shop alliances. The reason
he was able to earn ten million magic stones in one go was due to the concentrated purchase from Golden Crown Mountain, which resulted in the purchase of over four hundred and sixty sets of Demon Realm Pineapple Wizard Shoes at once.
“I see, it’s because the sales range has expanded…”
Locke saw that, according to Arthas’s rules, he could now sell his products in the Golden Crown Mountain and Quinnjol regions. This led to an increase in sales of the four types of wizard shoes and other products he sold in his Arthas shop.
A rough calculation showed that, besides the War of the Demons version of the wizard shoes, his five-headed hydra and nine-headed hydra shoes also saw increased monthly sales, reaching four million magic stones this month.
In other words, just from winning the Silent Grail championship and directly gaining the endorsement fee, he had a total of sixteen million magic stones.
This didn’t even include the accumulated brand benefits later on.
It could be said that winning the Silent Grail championship directly brought him enormous profits and various related honors.
Locke pondered, “Then my regular monthly income will increase significantly, right?”
“Compared to three million in wizard taxes, it’s not much. No, the resources a second-circle wizard needs for research and self-improvement are exorbitant; the more money, the better.”
“Essentially, three million in wizard taxes still takes up a large portion of my income.”
“Moreover, this is a special case. If a wizard who has just become a second-circle wizard doesn’t have these projects and has exhausted their past resource accumulation due to breakthroughs, then it really is…”
“Terrible.”
Locke thought, ‘After I get the dimensional coordinates from the Silent Grail, I’ll need to explore those dimensional planes. That will require another large sum of money.’
‘Plus, I also need to purchase magical resources to improve myself. So, this tax is still quite heavy.’
Locke saw that the number of curses directed at him in the backend had increased dramatically, at least doubling, mostly from stakeholders he had influenced—all magic weavers.
Oh, according to Boniface University, these are all old-school magic weavers.
Because the craftspeople who produce magical items like wizard shoes, magic gloves, and wizard robes are mostly old-school wizards from the Rose Council.
Of course, unlike before, now that he’s a second-circle wizard, it’s not just wizards cursing him; old-school wizards are also sending him messages, trying to use the only speaking opportunity in a friend request to invite him to collaborate.
Among them is Shiri Owen from the Rose Council, the wizard who claims to be a seasoned investor.
Locke sat on the bed, thinking, ‘This wizard hasn’t given up yet?’
He seems to be a paid member with special privileges, allowing him to send friend requests without restriction. Of course, this friend request section can be hidden,
so it doesn’t affect his use.
And it seems he can block him.
At this moment, Shiri Owen sent him over a dozen messages, all roughly the same. Locke looked at the latest one—
‘Hello, Locke Augustine Wizard, you must be very busy lately, so you haven’t seen my messages.’ “I am Shiri Owen, a Star Ring Wizard of the Rose Council and a seasoned investor in Cloudze Wetlands. I want to invest the funds you urgently need in your Shop Alliance.” “
Please open up the buying and selling and transfer of shares in your Shop Alliance. I believe this will allow you to accumulate tens of millions of magic stones in a short time.”
Locke used the Ganoderma lucidum plant to open the search interface and searched for information on this Shiri Owen wizard. He looked at his articles, projects, and general experience to determine his academic lineage.
After all, starting from the Second Ring World, it seems that teams and academic lineages are very important. The moment
he became a Second Ring Wizard, he was embroiled in the academic lineage struggle—
the conflict between the Rose Witches and the Red Dragon Witches.
“He’s actually a student of a student of a student of the Rose Throne Witch…”
Locke spent a long time looking at the information and finally figured out the other party’s identity and background.
“As expected of the White Wizard, he’s gone mad with greed, completely disregarding class distinctions to cooperate with me?”
“He must have seen my profile.”
Locke considered for a moment, then blocked the persistent She-Ra Owen, preventing him from adding him again.
If he wanted investment, he would allow share transfers and sales.
But he hadn’t made a decision yet, and he wasn’t very familiar with the Shop Alliance field—it was entirely new to him.
Besides, this person’s identity was sensitive, so there was no need to cooperate.
Locke glanced at other magic weavers who wanted to cooperate, but he ignored them all.
There was no need to.
How many of these cooperation requests were genuine, and how many were traps, was hard to say.
The precedent of Wizard Daniel was right before his eyes.
Locke looked at a wizard’s friend request and paused, because the witch wanting to add him was none other than Georgina.
Locke hesitated for a moment, then accepted.
Although the other party didn’t leave a friend request message, only sent one, as a fellow participant in the finals of the Silent Grail War, the champion still had to give this third-place finisher some face.
After accepting her friend request, Georgina the Witch almost immediately sent him a message; she probably set up some kind of voice notification.
‘Lock, good evening. It’s been a few days since we last met during the competition. I wonder if you’re free these days?’
Locke stared at this seemingly random message, momentarily stunned, and at the same time felt that Georgina the Witch seemed overly reserved, speaking to him in a very formal and polite manner.
“Well, I was going to say that second-circle wizards are usually quite busy, but I’m actually in a relatively quiet phase right now.”
Mainly because he had just finished the Silent Grail War and become a second-circle wizard.
Locke was somewhat curious about the other’s second-circle magical pressure.
“You became a second-circle wizard? So quickly?”
Georgina the Witch sent a message: “Yes. Wizard Edgar has also become a second-circle wizard. I learned of this from my mentor.”
“After the competition with Mr. Augustine, I gained a great deal. Upon returning to Boniface University, with the help of the academy’s resources and combined with my gains in the Grand Magic Tournament, I advanced my status as a second-circle wizard.”
Locke sent a message asking, “Advance?”
“That works? What’s the principle behind it?”
After sending this message, Locke thought it might involve a secret of Boniface University, so the other party might not reply.
But unexpectedly, Georgina the Witch sent a message directly.
“This is the concept of my new textile science. Magical robes are like a second skin. By weaving the warp and weft of the magical robes and using the Celestial Garment Spell, one can simulate the existence of a second-circle wizard.” “
If I am already extremely close to becoming a second-circle wizard, I can use this method to create the illusion of a second-circle wizard.”
“Of course, it’s just an illusion, just a layer of magical robes of a second-circle wizard.” “But because of the Silent Grail War, I did become a second-circle wizard before, so using the Celestial Garment Spell, I can make myself appear as a second-circle wizard for a very short time.” “
Of course, I’m using the magic robe to gain ultimate magic in advance, so I still need to actually construct my own ultimate magic later.”
Locke understood.
It’s like paying after you use it.
The other party’s generous display was probably to promote their new textile science magic.
Locke thought, “No wonder they want to aim for a first-level discipline.”
“In this way, wizards of the new textile science, during the first-circle soul decay period and the first-circle magic pressure limit period, can potentially borrow some of the power belonging to a second-circle wizard.” “
For special wizards like Georgina, they can even borrow second-circle power in advance before becoming a second-circle.”
Locke thought, “If you possess second-circle power first and then become a second-circle, you can imagine how much easier it is to construct ultimate magic.” “
While Georgina the Witch is an exception, other ordinary New Textile Wizards can certainly borrow a small portion of Second Ring power, even a very small amount, to significantly enhance their ability to construct Great Magic.”
Locke nodded slightly.
This might be why Bonifacius University has the confidence to make New Textile independent and attempt to become a first-level discipline; it’s truly impressive.
Locke carefully sensed the opponent’s magical pressure, and a tiger eye appeared on his forehead, looking down.
“No.”
“This approach has hidden dangers. I used my Three-Eyed Eye technique to enhance my perception and capture the flow of the opponent’s magical pressure. I found that the opponent’s Great Magic was basically the same as during the competition, but in many details, it was somewhat similar, but not quite right.” “
That’s right. Using the Celestial Garment Hunting Charm to weave the spiritual pattern of a Second Ring wizard’s existence, it deviates greatly from the true Second Ring, resulting in distortion. Even if Georgina the Witch was indeed a Second Ring wizard before, this would still happen. Therefore, this method of borrowing in advance has great potential for future problems.” “
It could lead me astray and leave behind all sorts of hidden dangers,”
Locke pondered. “I wonder if the other party has noticed. This matter is of great importance, so it’s best if I don’t say anything more. Besides, the other party probably already knows and is just testing things out.”
However, it seems that the Rose Witches and Catherine Witches of the Rose Council have conflicts over several funding projects.
And in the direction of magic weaving of the Rose Council, there is now an even bigger problem: a conflict with Boniface University, or rather, not a conflict, but a potential split.
It seems that among the seven top wizarding academies, the Rose Council is currently caught in the biggest vortex of conflict.
The system design of Yunze Wetland is based on performance and welcomes free competition.
Now it seems that this kind of competition may be the mainstream and state of Yunze Wetland.
Locke replied, “So the Heavenly Garment Hunting Spell can be used like this, I’ve really learned something new.” “
Georgina the Witch sent a message: ‘No way, I heard you recently used your Evolutionary Moon to simulate the Abyss Moon and killed a second-circle Dark Wizard.’
‘And established the reputation of the Beholder Wizard.’
‘To be able to kill a second-circle Dark Wizard with my own hands is truly exciting and admirable. I only wish I were the one who killed the Dark Wizard. Dark Wizards are universally hated; they are a scourge to the world whether they are alive or dead. They are a menace whether they live or die.’
Georgina the Witch sent herself a message.
‘Thank you, Beholder Wizard, for ridding the world of a scourge.’
Locke almost thought he was chatting with a Holy Wizard.
No.
Even the Holy Wizards of Mount Golden Crown weren’t this obsessed.
Georgina the Witch sent another message.
‘I came to you to convey a collaboration invitation from the head of a key laboratory at Bonifacius University, a Sun Ring Wizard.’
Locke asked curiously, ‘Boniface University is also interested in Wizard Shoes?'” “
Georgina the Witch sent a message. ‘Of course, no interest. This isn’t the kind of collaboration we’re looking for; it’s something else entirely. Our new textile science is constantly evolving, changing every moment, advancing with each change, and our textile technology is advancing rapidly.’
‘But we also need more new materials. And we believe that the new textile science shouldn’t fall into the trap of alchemy again, so we need to rely more on natural materials, and those natural materials are your magical plants. Therefore, we want to collaborate with you, these excellent breeders, and commission you to manufacture magical plants for us to produce specific threads.’
‘Lotus silk, mulberry silk, wood silk, willow catkins, abaca… all of these can be made into silk.’
‘If Mr. Augustine is interested, we can discuss this further. The price is negotiable; we will offer satisfactory compensation, and you will gain the friendship of the wizards of the new textile school.’
Locke’s eyes flashed with interest. Firstly, he certainly wanted to earn as much money as possible; secondly, he was actually very interested in the new textile science’s Celestial Garment Hunting Spell.”
In his view, it was simply a spell that automatically found weaknesses. If used for researching magical plants, that spell could be used to test the weaknesses of his magical plant and spell models.
He could create very mature works in a very short time.
With such magical assistance, wouldn’t completing Catherine the Witch’s mission and creating three famous second-circle wizard shoes be many times easier?
Moreover, although he had just obtained 1,600 magic crystal cards, he was still short of money; a single dimensional conquest would use it all up, and still not be enough.
Locke sent a message:
‘Show me the questions your Sun Ring Wizard Laboratory director gave us.’
Georgina the Witch replied, “Mr. Augustine, you jest. We are both second-circle wizards, merely collaborators, not a subject of any discussion.”
