Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1774 Glacier Vegetation Specimen Shop (Supplement)

On the side of Bilibao Central Street, the Glacier Plant Specimen Shop and the Truth Sigh Magic Artifact Shop, which were divided into two parts, opened at the same time.

There was no grand publicity, no celebratory crowds, and although the two shops were located on the central street of Bilibao City, they were squeezed into the most remote corner by their neighbors, barely showing a crack in the central street.

Since they were engaged in worldly affairs, both of them were simply using their knowledge to run a business, selling nothing more than the most common low-end goods on the market.

After purchasing a large quantity of conventional wizard potion seeds and materials, Millie and Hachi began to use their expertise as Stigmata Wizards to accelerate the growth of the seeds. Within just a few days, some seeds sprouted. The skillful Millie packaged them in test tubes and placed them on the shelves. With the beautiful hostess and Hachi's enthusiastic promotion, they started earning money in just a few days. It seems that if this continues, Millie's plant specimen shop might actually become a successful business.

Meanwhile, the honest and taciturn Grimm bought the cheapest magical materials on the market and silently began crafting a magical artifact. Under Grimm's extremely strict self-discipline and research, progress was very slow, and it took him more than half a month to make a single magical ring.

Because it uses only the most common and readily available materials, this magic ring has the following attributes: Magic Reserve +57, Elemental Attack +53, and a price of 7000 Wizard Coins.

Compared to other low-level magical artifact rings on the market that have electronic auxiliary devices, Grimm's retro-attribute ring, although stronger in attributes, is not suitable for this era. Moreover, its price is astonishing, almost twice that of electronically assisted magical artifacts of the same era. In addition, Grimm's magical artifact shop has only had this one item in more than half a month. Compared to Millie's Glacier Plant Specimen Shop next door, which is thriving, Grimm's Truth Sigh Magical Artifact Shop is almost deserted.

The landlord, an old wizard, having nothing better to do, came over and took a look around while munching on a banana-flavored e-cigarette. He was clearly frowning at the state of business at Green and Millie's shop.

At this moment, Millie's shop is filled with lush plant specimens. Although each plant specimen doesn't generate much profit, the sales volume is huge. Moreover, it has begun to gain influence in Bilibao, accumulated some popularity, opened up the market, and the business is thriving.

On the other hand, Green had only produced this one magical artifact in the past half month, and he was still making a second artifact with an attitude of "take it or leave it" and was not arrogant or impatient. Moreover, it seemed that it would be difficult to complete it in less than half a month.

The old wizard picked up the magic ring made by Grimm, examined its attributes, and shook his head, saying, "Young man, it's also a level one magic artifact driven by 100 points of mental power, but you have to spend twice the price for these 7 points of magic power reserve and 3 points of elemental attack enhancement, and there are no electronic auxiliary instruments. Anyone who buys it is a fool. I don't think your shop will last long."

Smash it, smash it...

The old wizard took a couple of puffs of his e-cigarette, squinted at Millie in the shop next door, and said, "You're quite the shrewd and capable woman. You first select those high-selling plant specimens for cultivation, and then secretly invest in long-term plant specimens. You're much better than my wife who only knows how to play mahjong every day. I really envy your good fortune."

Green remained silent, continuing to meticulously study the second magical artifact ring.

Seeing Green's clueless and foolish appearance, and after glancing at Millie, the old wizard sighed, shook his head, and left.

What the old wizard didn't know was that compared to the standard magic rings on the market that cost around 3000 wizard coins and had a production cost of around 2700 wizard coins, the material cost of Grimm's magic ring was almost negligible, because Grimm had managed to reduce the cost of the most basic materials for this ring to below 100 wizard coins!

More than a month later, Grimm's second magic ring was finally completed.

Magic reserves +57, elemental attack power +54, price 8000 wizard coins. It only adds one degree of elemental attack power, but Green has increased the price by 1000 wizard coins.

Over the past month, some people have passed by Green's shop and looked at the only item in the shop with curiosity. Most wizards left immediately after discovering that the magic ring did not have electronic assistance. A few people briefly sensed the attributes, looked at Green's exorbitant price, shook their heads in disappointment, and left.

Now, it seems that Grimm's second magic ring will suffer the same fate.

Two and a half months later, Green's shop finally had four magic rings, with a magic power reserve of +55 and an elemental attack power of +58. Green also raised the price to 10000 wizard coins!

That night, Millie, Green, and Hachi were having dinner under a semiconductor light. Hachi chuckled, "Rent is due in half a month! Millie and I have saved 11000 wizard coins, and with these goods, we've earned at least 20000 wizard coins in these three months. Green, you haven't made any yet, hahaha. Should we help you with your rent?"

Millie looked at Green and said sweetly, "Mortal eyes can never see through your true wisdom, otherwise you wouldn't have been the one to establish the Wizard King's rules in the wizarding world from ancient times to the present."

Green put the sliced ​​steak into his mouth, nodded silently, and said in the slightly cramped room, "If it's 3,600 wizard coins per person, I'll lend you 3,600 wizard coins if things get really bad. I'll pay you back in three months at 2% interest per month."

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of attitude is that? Is that how you ask for a favor? Millie and I never said we were going to lend you any money!"

Xiao Ba grumbled, but Millie laughed and said, "Okay, okay, two percent interest, that'll be six percent in three months, high interest, haha."

The next day, Grimm, who was engrossed in studying the magical properties of materials to the extreme, was disturbed by a question at the door.

"Boss, this ring is 7000 wizard coins, are you selling it?"

This was a young wizard, dressed in a white wizard's robe, with a magical mirror with extremely strong magical energy hanging on his chest. He seemed to be a mission-taker from some wizarding academy. He was attracted by the last magical ring with the strongest attributes that Grimm had made, and frowned as he asked questions.

"Ten thousand wizard coins."

After finishing his statement with a blank expression, Grimm continued working on the fifth magic ring in his hand. With an extremely demanding research and production process, Grimm required that each magic ring must be an improvement over the previous one.

After a sigh, the young wizard put the magic ring back in its place and disappeared into the crowd.

"Hey, you're ignoring business opportunities? Are you really planning to borrow money from me and Millie? Hahaha, don't be late in three months! The interest will snowball, oh ho ho ho..."

With three months' rent due, the pot-bellied old wizard, puffing on his e-cigarette, arrived at Green's door early in the morning, knocking on the simple glass counter with a "thump, thump, thump," and said casually, "Collecting rent."

Millie, from the nearby Glacier Botanical Specimen Shop, quickly came over, took out the wizard crystals she had exchanged for 7,200 wizard coins, and calmly said, "This is three months' rent."

Compared to three months ago, Millie has renovated her shop, making it clean, bright, and distinctive. Business is booming, with a constant stream of customers. Some large businesses have even signed long-term cooperation agreements with her. Neighboring shop owners also frequent her shop, making her the envy of several other specimen shops on the nearby street. However, Green's shop has hardly changed at all compared to three months ago.

Well, except for the little girl with big, wide eyes who was by my side.

"Why……"

It was unclear what the old wizard's sigh came from, and he didn't bother with the matter at hand, so he smacked his e-cigarette and left.
