Chapter 157

Lu Lin hinted to him that he planned to do something to the other two gangs later, and asked Yan Feng to remember to take care of them.

Hearing this, the leader of Yan Feng said "not good" on the surface, but he decisively accepted Lu Lin's goods and did this favor.

With the capital, in addition to solving the teaching materials for the two girls, Lu Lin should also do the task.

After all, if there is only ability but no formula, then the career of this high-level alchemist will be incomplete.

As for Lu Lin's current task.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It was written on the task panel.

[The Way of the Sage: Build a Place for Knowledge]

[Task Objective: Make the total value of the alchemy room equipment reach 300 gold coins (0/1)]

[Current value of the alchemy room equipment: 27 gold, 12 silver, 64 bronze]

[Task Reward: Advanced Secret Alchemy Formula]

Chapter 257 Why do I feel like I'm being taken advantage of

Three hundred gold coins.

What does this mean?

If he relied on running an alchemy workshop, under the premise of tax exemption, Lu Lin would work continuously every day without a day off, and there would always be work coming in. In this case, he would have to spend about four or five hundred days to save up the money.

And if he was an ordinary intermediate alchemist, without tax exemption and normal business, to save up this money...

Lu Lin didn't dare to think about the time it would take.

Even if alchemists are already considered to be extremely profitable professions, it would take several months for the Yanfeng Gang to raise the huge sum of three hundred gold coins.

Therefore, it is impossible to work part-time. If you earn 300 gold coins by working part-time, it will be too late to make money.

Lu Lin has a lot of things to deal with recently, many of which require him to have the actual level of a high-level alchemist. He doesn't have so much time to make money slowly.

Fortunately, the requirement of this task is not to "earn 300 gold coins", but to "make the total value of the equipment in the alchemy room reach 300 gold coins."

In other words, he can use other means to update and add equipment in the alchemy room.

For example, use points to get things from the Black Magic School.

But...

Although the plan to bypass the Echo Violet is indeed precious, the value it brings is a topic with extremely high upper and lower limits.

For some schools and sects, the Echo Violet may be able to strangle them, but for the Black Magic School, most members have familiars.

They have the means to send echo violets directly to their members, but they didn't do so because, on the one hand, they followed the rules, and on the other hand, they wanted to test the members of the school.

Of course, this may make people feel that the formula itself is useless.

After all, as long as the major forces want to limit the expansion of other forces in their own territory, they will always find a way to make new rules.

In terms of the final result, this formula may not change too many things in the end.

However, if the element of "time" is taken into account, it will be completely different.

As the first school to master this method, the Black Magic School will have the advantage of expansion.

As long as it is carried out secretly, it may not be discovered for a long time.

Even if it is discovered, the current rules only restrict echo violets. The Black Magic School has the ability to bypass it, and other forces have no reason to blame the Black Magic School.

Even if they want to make new rules, such rules involving many forces in the entire chaotic land will take a long time from being proposed to being completely finalized and thoroughly implemented.

During this period, not only can the Black Magic School continue to exploit this loophole, but it can also trade with other forces that are jealous of this plan and exchange this formula for a lot of benefits.

The benefits that the Black Magic School can obtain during this period are the real value of this formula.

If you want to sell this formula for a good price, you must write as much as possible in the content of this value.

For this reason, Lu Lin and Si Li discussed for several days, and finally used up two bottles of ink to finally sort out a value assessment plan with several pages of dense writing.

But when Lu Lin explained all this to the snow ferret and handed it the assessment plan, it asked a question that was completely unexpected by Lu Lin.

"Wait a minute, why should I help you run errands?"

Looking at the snow ferret holding its two paws in front of its chest, with its mouth tilted and sloppy, Lu Lin suddenly remembered that it would take some effort for him to use this familiar in his home.

"Because you are my familiar, you have to run errands" This kind of rhetoric is definitely useless to this guy. You have to follow his way with this little thing that eats soft but not hard.

Moreover, this guy has no sympathy. Even if he tries to be soft, it is meaningless to use methods such as selling misery and seeking empathy.

To deal with such a little guy, it seems that the only way to persuade it is to use benefits.

But obviously, Lu Lin must not let it have fun with the people of the Black Magic School.

In this case, it seems that there is only one way to go...

After a brief thought, Lu Lin proposed a plan: "After this is done, I will give you some errand fees, what do you think?"

After all, this snow ferret said that it has only two pursuits in its life, one is to have fun for itself, and the other is to eat human souls.

Although the Black Demon School does not specialize in necromancy like the Necromancy School, it certainly collects ghost-type monsters such as howling demon spirits. If there are points, the little ferret should be able to exchange them for these things.

After hearing what Lu Lin said, the little ferret was really tempted.

Although it seems to be able to survive without eating, the thing in the abyss has the desire to devour living things. In the past few days when Lu Lin and Silly were discussing the plan, two gangs in the city have already been eliminated for several times. For no reason. A case of sudden death.

No need to ask Lu Lin to know that the souls of these guys may have become his family's mink food.

Moreover, Lu Lin heard this little guy complaining to him from time to time during this time.

Either that or there is too little food to eat here, and there are only two gang members, so it has to save some food.

Or it means that the quality of the food here is too poor, the taste is too watery, and it doesn't taste good at all, and they still ask Lu Lin every day when he can get the soul as delicious and fragrant as last time.

Um.

I wonder if Melens would be happy if she knew that her soul was judged in this way.

Oh, no, even the refined product of her soul was eaten, so she probably had no chance to be happy.

In short, the little ferret is in short supply of high-quality food now, so this deal is really tempting for it.

"So, your ultimate goal is to sell this thing at a good price and then buy yourself a luxurious alchemy room worth three hundred gold coins?" The little ferret shook the manuscript paper in his hand.

"Yes," Lu Lin nodded, "But I'm not sure if this alone is enough. If it's not enough, I may have to consider getting some other formulas to make a deal with the school. As for the errand fees, I'll give them to you in proportion. ?”

"No, I have a better proposal," the little ferret showed a humane smile, "I will help you negotiate this deal. The reward from the negotiation will be used to help you purchase what you want first. As for the rest, Everything that comes down belongs to me, what do you think?”

Hearing this, Lu Lin felt happy at first.

After all, the little ferret's statement is equivalent to ensuring his needs first no matter what.

If the price finally negotiated is not enough to exchange for 300 gold equipment, or just enough for 300 gold, then all the negotiated income will have to be used to buy equipment for Lu Lin.

Even if he talks more, he can achieve his goal anyway and it will not be a loss.

But soon, Lu Lin realized something was wrong.

This little guy is not such a kind-hearted owner. The fact that he said this means that he is very confident that he can make a lot of money from this matter.

Looking at the disturbing smile on its face, Lu Lin pondered for a moment and said: "I have to say it first. The Black Demon School is our important partner. You can't cause trouble there. We have to follow everything. Normal procedures, follow their rules.”

"I know, I know the rules," the ferret grinned, "I never break the rules."

"You can't use threats or kill people, nor can you steal or rob," Lu Lin reminded again.

"I know, I'm not stupid, can I not know what you mean?" The ferret waved his hand, "Don't worry, nothing you are worried about will happen. I guarantee you that if I foul, I will give it to you for free. Work for nothing for a year.”

Seeing that Ferret had already talked about this, Lu Lin couldn't say anything more.

But looking at this little guy's appearance, Lu Lin always had a vague feeling that he might suffer a big loss.

Seeing how confident this little guy was, after thinking for a moment, Lu Lin thought that he might try to increase the price.

So he said: "By the way, in addition to the equipment of 300 gold coins, I also need to purchase some precious materials. The total value is estimated to be around 100 gold coins..."

This is the estimated price of the materials needed to upgrade Carlton’s Scepter of the End.

Seriously, ridiculously expensive.

Lu Lin originally planned to wait until he upgraded to a senior alchemist, then look for any lost advanced formulas to exchange points with the school, and then use them to buy materials.

Now he simply proposed it together.

Of course, one hundred gold coins is also a huge sum of money. If this little guy doesn't want to...

"Okay, no problem."

"ha?"

Lu Lin looked at the ferret in front of him in astonishment and blinked.

"What did you say? No problem?"

"Yeah, no problem," the little ferret nodded.

Lu Lin was stunned, and then said: "Ah, by the way, I still need to save some materials to support my subsequent research on weapons and ammunition, as well as some alchemy materials for genetic modification..."

"Okay, no problem," the little ferret replied without hesitation, without even asking Lu Lin how much it would cost.

This is really something Lu Lin can't handle.

After thinking about it, I reminded the ferret again, telling it not to mess around and that it must use proper means and proper rules.

The latter also agreed repeatedly, but seeing how cheerful it was, Lu Lin always felt that it was going to do something, so he could only explain everything he could think of that might produce eggs.

As expected, the ferret got annoyed and finally said that if Lu Lin kept talking nonsense, he would not go.

Lu Lin had no choice but to keep silent.

Although he was still a little nervous, this was his familiar.

After the summoning ended, he also asked Silly to help him try to summon the familiar again, but the result was that he still couldn't summon it.

Although Si Li could help, the price limit of this plan was too high. Si Li was definitely unwilling to take it over. If the stew failed, even if Lu Lin didn't care, she couldn't accept it.

So he could only give the coordinate emblem of the Black Magic School to the Snow Ferret, and this matter could only be done by the Snow Ferret.

Watching the Snow Ferret disappear from his sight, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was still uneasy, since the Snow Ferret had already set off, what would happen next had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, it was like this, and there was no need to worry.

Next, just wait for the result.

Chapter 258 The Unbelievable Smirk in the Conference Room of the Black Magic School

Of course, Lu Lin had his own things to do while waiting for the little Snow Ferret to return.

The list of alchemical items to be purchased was selected by Lu Lin based on the relevant product list that Si Li helped to bring. From the alchemical cauldron to various equipment, they were all top-notch items that could be bought normally, and they were even enough for alchemy masters.

More advanced alchemy cauldrons and various special equipment either have to be specially customized or are simply things that are out of stock.

As these top-level equipment are all professional products, they are basically based on performance and function as the first consideration, and most of them do not consider the size of the equipment.

In addition, the number of equipment has more than doubled. This time, Lu Lin's small alchemy room will definitely not be able to accommodate them.

However, Lu Lin does not plan to renovate his small alchemy room.

He has lived in this room for so long and is used to it. The things in it have some feelings.

In addition, Lu Lin realized after filming the magic crystal that Li Mi now cares about the memories between him and him.

This room and this earth dragon contain her precious memories. Lu Lin does not intend to reform them drastically, but wants to continue to use it as a living room.

As for these new equipment.

Lu Lin used the money he earned from selling goods with Yan Feng Gang before and went to Yan Feng Gang again.

This time, he wants to buy a large earth dragon.

Although large earth dragons are also called earth dragons, they are actually not the same species.

In addition to being larger in size, large earth dragons also have stronger magical talents. They can even actively control gravity magic. Not only can they use gravity magic for self-defense, but if they are properly tamed, they can even use gravity magic to help you move goods.

Of course, relatively speaking, not only are they expensive, but they also eat a lot. The food they eat is much more advanced than ordinary earth dragons, otherwise the nutrition will not keep up with the consumption.
