Wizard: I Have a World of the Dead

Chapter 99: The Deception

[Congratulations, player! You have successfully conquered the West Wizard Tower and obtained the title: Master of the West Wizard Tower]

[West Wizard Tower Unlocked]

[Unlock Building: Magic Plantation]

[Magic Plantation: Can be used to grow various magical plants]

【Materials required: 5000 Shadow Stones】

at last!

Hearing the notification sound pop up in his ear, Lin Qi was very happy.

Once the magic plantation is opened, you can cultivate related magical plants, including some commonly used materials for cultivation.

The price is a bit too expensive.

5000 magic stones, wow...

However, you get what you pay for. With the plantation, the basic needs for cultivation would be guaranteed.

"It's this kind of seed..."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi couldn't help but frown again.

The plantation is now in place, but the wizard tower hasn't found a single seed needed for planting.

"It seems we still need to think of a solution from the wizarding world..."

77

After a few weeks of adjustment, the apprentices had largely adapted to their new identities and settled down in the wizarding world.

Life then proceeded normally.

Most apprentices were engrossed in reviewing basic knowledge in their dormitories, preparing for the recruitment fair at the end of the month. A few, like Simon, had already started going to the mission hall to accept missions and earn magic stones.

Everyone is working hard in different ways for their own tomorrow.

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, the end of the month was here.

However, an unexpected incident occurred among the apprentices the day before the recruitment ceremony...

That evening, having just finished exploring the Land of the Dead, he returned to the Apprentice Tower, ready to go downstairs for dinner.

However, when he arrived at the restaurant, he saw several fellow apprentices gathered around a table.

A girl was sitting at the dining table, tears streaming down her face. She was the girl whose inferior talent had been identified before. I think her name was... Luna?

Simon and Thorne are also here.

Lin Qi then walked over and casually asked, "What happened?"

Simon said angrily, "These swindlers are despicable! They even deceived us apprentices who have just arrived in the wizarding world!"

""

Lynch looked at Thorne.

Thorne shrugged: "Luna got tricked..."

From Thorne, Lynch gained a general understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.

Although Luna is young, she is indeed a very ambitious and proactive girl.

Although he was identified as having inferior talent, he did not give up on himself. Instead, he realized that he could not be more careless than others in his future destiny.

Therefore, as soon as she arrived in the wizarding world, she showed a more hardworking and diligent spirit than others.

While other female apprentices were still holed up in their dormitories reviewing basic knowledge, she was already taking time out of her preparation to go to the mission hall to accept missions and earn magic stones.

Cleaning sewers, dealing with monster excrement, collecting low-level magical materials...

Basically, she would grit her teeth and do whatever she could, no matter how dirty or tiring it was.

This effort did indeed bring her considerable rewards. In just over twenty days, she earned more than thirty magic stones, which was a considerable fortune among apprentices.

You should know that apart from the few apprentices who accepted the mission, the rest of them only have the 20 magic stones they were given when they first arrived, and some have even spent almost all of them.

Luna hadn't spent a single one of her previous 20 magic stones, and with the 30 magic stones she'd earned in the past few days, she now had over 50 magic stones in her pocket.

A magic stone.

With the money in hand, she went to the market, thinking of buying some cultivation resources to aid her cultivation.

However, cultivation resources are not so cheap; even those with a little bit of auxiliary effect start at hundreds of magic stones.

After going around in circles, Luna found nothing.

Just when she thought she was going to make a wasted trip, fate took a turn for the better.

A vendor at a small roadside stall recommended a potion to her called Spirit Water, claiming it could enhance meditation efficiency by 30%.

Luna had seen the same product in a magic shop before, where it cost 100 magic stones, but this stall owner was only offering it for 80 magic stones.

Luna felt there might be a chance, so she bargained with the other party for a while, and finally, after much pleading and cajoling, she bought the potion with all her savings.

On the way back, Luna continued to express her gratitude for the stall owner's kindness.

What she never expected was that it was all a complete scam.

Upon returning, Luna immediately began meditating, only to discover that the potion had absolutely no effect.

At first, she was not quite sure, thinking that she was using the wrong method, and even asked several familiar apprentices to study it.

It wasn't until the last passing apprentice couldn't stand it anymore that he casually told them they had been tricked.

"Apprentices often do this, just to fool you newcomers to the wizarding world. Don't bother studying it; it's all junk, maybe it's just water."

It was only then that Luna realized she had been deceived.

Her first instinct was to go back. Theoretically, the stall owner should have already run away by then, but miraculously, when she rushed over, the stall owner was still there.

But when Luna asked for a refund, they simply refused.

"This is the spiritual water I personally refined. I told you before that its effects are definitely different from regular spiritual water."

"An equivalent exchange, the transaction is complete, and you've drunk the potion. Now you want a refund? That won't do!"

"If you have someone to blame, it's your own stupidity!"

He dismissed Luna with just a few words, his attitude arrogant and quite rude.

"...That's how it happened."

Simon exclaimed angrily, "These guys have gone too far! How could they do this? To treat an apprentice like this!"

The other apprentices also expressed their different opinions.

Some, like Simon, cursed the stall owner for being despicable and disgusting, while others comforted Luna, telling her to let it go and consider it a lesson learned.

Simon slammed his fist on the table: "No, this can't just be left like this."

After saying that, he stood up, grabbed Luna's arm, and said, "Come on, let's go find the law enforcement team. There should be a place here where justice is served!"

Thorne frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing.

Simon pulled Luna along and headed outside.

Lin Qi watched the two figures walk away. He actually knew what Thorne wanted to say: that there was no point in doing this.

The ruling power cannot afford to waste time and energy on such trivial matters.

For some reason, Lin Qi suddenly remembered what the Eton Wizard had said.

Too many predators are eyeing the baby sea turtles that have just hatched early in the morning; that short stretch of beach could be quite a challenge to climb into.

It's really not easy...
