Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 580 I am what you call...

Li Daoxian nodded slightly.

Ava's choice made her very satisfied. After all, this matter belonged to Ava herself. If she didn't have the desire to fight for her own affairs, then even if Li Daoxian was willing to help, even if she had certain talents, her future achievements would be limited.

Talent is important, but character is also a crucial part.

But as it stands, given Ava's character, the fact that she was able to make this decision is enough to prove her persistence in the potion.

Other people may not be clear about Ava's situation, but in Li Daoxian's opinion, it is very clear. It is hard to say whether Ava's parents are good or bad to Ava.

Li Daoxian smiled and said, "Let's go."

He took Ava's hand and walked aside.

He did not choose to go to the teleportation facility underground in the Demonic Building, but chose to teleport out through the demon cavity in Gordon's office. It was more convenient and did not leave too many traces.

The huge demon head on the wall of the room began to laugh strangely, its huge mouth opened to reveal fangs, sparks flew everywhere, and a strong smell of sulfur dissipated along with the sparks.

The demon's pupils opened and stared at the two people in front of him. His apricot-yellow pupils looked hideous and terrifying.

Ava subconsciously took a step back, but only for a moment. She stopped again and looked at the demon head in front of her with some confusion. Instead of feeling any danger from the huge demon head in front of her, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Just as she was wondering, the corners of the demon's mouth cracked, and its mouth opened to an incredible size. The rich flames swirled inward, forming a vortex of orange-yellow flames.

"Relax, and let's go visit your parents."

Li Daoxian spoke to Ava in a relaxed manner, then pulled her and walked into the flames.

The figures of the two people were engulfed by flames.

……

Wanxiang City, Area C, underground bloody market.

As long as you are willing to take some risks, the underground blood market can make anyone's dream of getting rich overnight come true. There are many people making a living in the underground blood market, because it is one of the main passages leading to Abisowol, and for criminals coming and going here, the normal channels have closed the door to them. Only here can they buy some supplies at a high price.

Of course, this is also where the risk lies.

Ava's parents are such a wizard couple. They work in a respectable store in the underground bloody market, but they also take on some shady jobs in private.

It was by chance that they discovered Ava's talent. However, after knowing Ava's talent, they provided some small things in exchange for Ava's qualification to work in the potion workshop next door. After about half a year, when she had learned everything she could, and some more important things that were difficult to learn without signing a "self-selling contract", Ava's parents stopped supplying her.

Have Ava come back and try brewing a potion.

Ava has a very good talent. She can often disguise ordinary inferior potions as mid- to high-level potions and sell them. Although no one knows why some wizards always think so, Ava's parents are happy to see it happen.

Until recently, the "Little Potions Master" program came here. Anyone could sign up, and some practical potions were provided. With the idea that it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, they asked Ava to sign up, but all the potions she got had already been sold. As a result, they found that Ava was selected.

Ava's parents also watched "Little Potion Masters". They saw their children's performance and realized that their children had shown talents on this show far beyond their imagination.

They were happy with Ava's performance, but they were even happier with the broker who had come to the store to discuss things with them while the show was being broadcast.

In the underground bloody market, there are all kinds of brokers. Their networks are intricate and their familiar connections span almost every city.

This time, the broker, as the middleman, brought the wish of a big shot, which was to give the two a large sum of money. As a condition of the transaction, they needed to let Ava withdraw from the competition, and they could bear the full penalty for withdrawal. As long as they agreed, the penalty and 70% of the advance payment could be directly transferred to them.

Obviously, the other party's direct payment operation shows that they do not care about the possibility of Ava's parents breaching the contract. If such a thing really happens, the other party has enough means to make them spit out what they have eaten.

Ava's parents did not agree immediately, but said they wanted to think about it.

The reason they didn't agree was not because they supported Ava.

They never considered Ava's thoughts from beginning to end, but the two guessed that perhaps this big shot wanted to arrange someone to fill the vacancy and join "Little Potion Master".

Although I don't know why they are willing to pay such a high price and why the place in "Little Potion Master" is so valuable, there is no doubt that these rich people are fighting for good things. They can let Ava withdraw, but they have to pay more. At least it is impossible to agree to the other party's first offer.

After so many years of struggling in the bloody market, they naturally know that there is ample room for negotiation in the first quotation. They need to collect enough information to judge how much the quota should be so as not to lose money, while at the same time not to offend the other party and make the other party adopt some unconventional means.

At this moment, Ava's father hurried back to the store.

The store is closed today.

They have already communicated with the boss, and the boss has agreed.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you disagree. Today, the two of them were very tough, so tough that even the boss was a little confused as to why these two usually slippery guys had changed their personalities.

Ava's parents no longer cared about the boss's thoughts. After all, after today, they would be able to get a large sum of money, which was more than enough to buy the entire shop. Of course, they would not buy this shop. With this money, they could buy a better store.

Ava's father put his hat on the coat rack nearby.

The felt hat made of weasel skin has been polished to a shine, and some traces of repair can be seen faintly on the exposed edges.

Ava's father said to the people in the house: "Have you told Ava?"

Ava's mother was observing a stack of parchment scrolls, which she had exchanged from a familiar broker. It contained information about shops that were interested in selling in the Bloody Market. When she heard someone coming back, she came out and saw her father.

Hearing her man's question, she nodded and replied, "I have already told Ava that I will let her withdraw from the competition and let her use up all the benefits as soon as possible. If you have any problems in the next few days, ask those wizards more. Wait until the last day to talk about withdrawing from the competition. At least she can get enough benefits."

The father nodded, sat on the worn sofa, leaned back, and was in a very happy mood: "Very good, I didn't expect Ava to have such talent, it's really good. I have already made inquiries, and the other party is indeed a big boss. According to the contact of the broker, the other party does not care about the money. Their bottom line is at least three times the current bid." Three times! ?

Ava's mother was shocked.

The reward offered now is already ridiculously generous. Just declaring withdrawal, just a matter of one sentence, can it be worth so much money?
The mother asked, "Will they really give it to you? Don't be fooled."

My father nodded. "They will sign the contract directly, and they can use the highest grade flesh and blood contract in the bloody market."

The cost of violating the flesh and blood contract is very high, at least much higher than the money paid to him, which also proves that the other party is indeed sincere enough.

The mother said with some concern: "But since the other party is willing to pay so much for this qualification, does it mean that this qualification is more expensive? I think Ava performed second in the first round this time. If she can continue to go on, maybe..."

Ava's father slammed the table, interrupting her mother and said impatiently, "I said withdraw from the competition, are you deaf?"

The mother shuddered and stopped talking.

Ava's father snorted and said, "Do you know why Ava's place was bought? Because except for Ava and Noah, the forces behind the other children are either government officials or high-level group executives. None of them are simple."

"The biggest reason why Ava was able to get second place was the so-called system given by the judges."

"Now all the players have the same system. The other side has a deeper background than us, more resources than us, and stronger connections than us. How can we fight against them?"

The mother whispered, "But, I think Gordon seems to be quite fond of Ava..."

The father sneered, "Stupid. Do you think that's fancy? Let me ask you, why are Noah and Ava the only ones who used the system first?"

"why?"

The father said sternly, "Because the two of them are just guinea pigs. We are powerless and the easiest to bully. Even if something goes wrong, the price we pay is less than that of others."

“After the trial is successful, it will be a matter of proving to others that the system works and that the risk is low.”

"What you saw is all the script of the show. When everyone starts to make efforts later, what can we do? We will be squeezed out. We might as well take this money now and put it in our pockets. If Ava wants to continue studying potions in the future, no problem. We can send him to a better academy."

Ava's mother was convinced.

It is very normal for scripts to appear in variety shows. She has never thought that her children will soar to the sky. They have no power, money or influence, and have nothing to do with the championship. In this case, it is better to accept the benefits directly.

Ava's father naturally noticed the woman's hesitation. He said proudly, "You are just simple-minded. If you leave me, you might end up in a cold storage one day."

After saying that, Ava's father snorted coldly: "Damn the production team, they used our children as test subjects. I know that there is no good thing for free, not to mention that they gave us benefits first."

"But we are not at a disadvantage. Many media outlets want to interview Ava and the bids are very high. We should be able to make some money later. Someone from Hua Street has also contacted us, but I plan to wait and see..."

Just then, the door of the store was suddenly pushed open.

The rustling sound of magical wind chimes rang out.

Ava's father was a little confused. He remembered that he had clearly locked the door when he came in, and the magic circle should have blocked it.

Maybe I was too happy and forgot about it.

So he frowned and yelled, "We are closed today. Come back tomorrow if you have anything to do."

As soon as he finished yelling, he saw a small figure appear at the door. He stood up: "Ava? Why are you here?"

Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and slapped the woman next to him: "Did you say it?"

The mother didn't dare to cast defensive magic, because that would get her beaten even harder, so she endured the slap. Half of her face was numb, and she whispered with tears in her eyes, "I really said it."

The father said coldly: "Why is she here?"

He yelled at Ava again: "You better tell me you didn't withdraw from the competition, otherwise you will be very sad if you can't get the money."

Ava's neck shrank.

The father became even angrier: "Damn the production team, they didn't even discuss with us before withdrawing from the competition, and they didn't even wait for us to say so? Can a child make the decision on his own?"

His face flushed, and his strong body pulled the table open like a bear and threw it directly to the side, leaving a deep break on the edge.

The father walked closer to Ava and wanted to reach out to pick her up, but at this moment, he saw another person walking in.

"Good evening, both of you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Daoxian. I am a potion master and a member of the damn show crew you just mentioned."

The man raised his head slightly, revealing his tall and squinting eyes, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, like a fox or a poisonous snake.

The irritable father's anger was like being poured with a basin of cold water the moment he saw the person in front of him. His already burning anger seemed to dissipate a lot in an instant.

The next moment, the father took a deep breath and smashed his right fist into his heart, causing his head, which had already calmed down, to be filled with anger again. His muscles began to wriggle, and claws made of unknown black bones appeared on his left hand. "I wonder if anyone has ever told you that it is best not to anger a shaman with royal blood. He dared to use magic on me in my territory!"

My father's figure instantly grew taller, his originally light green skin turned red, his muscles twitched, and he roared as he wanted to rush up. However, as soon as he took a step, a huge change happened.

The ground beneath his feet suddenly squirmed, wrapping around his feet like a living thing, and an eerie chill spread from his ankles to his entire body.

His roar was stuck in his throat, and he looked down suddenly, only to find that his legs had been bound by a circle of deep purple magic halo, which was as heavy as chains pressing on his body, causing him to suddenly lose his balance. The strength and violent magic that he was proud of were helpless at this moment.
