Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 198 Passionate people are always troubled by heartless people

"Hehehe..."

Old man Murphy had anticipated this, smiled, and didn't chase after them.

That would seem too aggressive and excessive.

The pharmacy department needs to purchase equipment, but the medical department doesn't have that kind of funding.

No shortage!

It's just a tactic of overcharging.

It's already quite good that we were able to "scam" Link out of a vehicle-type magical artifact of the 3rd level.

The old man vented his anger, the little guy profited—everyone got what they wanted.

Only Salosar suffered a loss.

pretty good.

"Here you go, keep it."

Old man Murphy walked over to Link, stuffed the miniaturized vehicle, which was in a specially made small box, into Link's pocket, and said:

"This is a vehicle specially customized by that old bastard Poirot. It's a good thing. It's fast, can turn invisible, has strong firepower, is extremely durable, and can even transform into a flight mode. The only downside is that it consumes too many magic stones."

But you shouldn't be short of magic stones. With so many "patents" and dividends, the legion will soon give you more rewards. You're a little tycoon.

They can continuously develop new drugs to generate revenue, so why are they afraid of such a small expenditure?

Just kidding!

The small box slipped into the pocket of the "Defender 3202" suit jacket, and you could barely feel its weight.

Miniaturization of appliances only reduces their size; their quality remains unchanged.

However, the specially designed small box that holds the miniaturized vehicle negates the vehicle's weight from a regulatory perspective.

This means that Link only needs to bear the weight of the small box itself.

There is no need to carry the weight of the vehicle separately.

Amazing alchemical creation!

Link said with heartfelt gratitude, "Thank you, Secretary Murphy."

He had originally planned to spend some time saving up some magic stones to buy a level 2 wizarding vehicle as a means of transportation and also to show off.

Not having your own vehicle makes getting around quite inconvenient.

Taking the No. 11 bus or official vehicles every day is truly beneath the dignity of a proper wizard.

He himself didn't care, but other formal wizards couldn't stand it either.

For example, a representative of good leaders is old man Murphy.

He couldn't stand that Link had to call for a hovercar from the logistics department every time he went out.

As a result, the old man Murphy, who couldn't stand it, gave a long lecture and actually managed to get Link a vehicle of level 3 wizard artifact.

It's a custom-made model, extremely expensive, and incredibly powerful.

Please forgive Link's limited knowledge in this area.

He could only compare it to the four off-road vehicles of the special forces team that could transform into "stealth fighters".

Although I haven't had a test ride yet, judging from old man Murphy's grand introduction, it can't be any worse than the four vehicles of the special forces team.

In this way, Link can now be considered a car owner.

Moreover, it's the most luxurious of all luxury cars.

After returning to his homeland two months later and purchasing another property, he will become a high-quality male wizard with a house and a car.

They can barely get close to the very edge of high society.

It's a pity I'm not old enough, otherwise I could easily marry a beautiful and delicate wife and fulfill a regret from my past life. (╯□╰)

(Tsk...poor single dog.)

At this moment, the fairy who had been soaking in the tub regained consciousness after receiving a large replenishment of life force.

The fairy forced her eyes open, rolled her eyeballs around, and surveyed her surroundings.

Finding himself in a clean, bright room, surrounded by three wizards in white coats, masks, and goggles, exuding a cold and aloof demeanor, he couldn't help but tremble.

The fairy who held an important position in the government of the five tribes knew that even after the war, a group of "heinous" compatriots were sent to unspeakable places to undergo unspeakable experiments and suffered unspeakable fates.

The fairy didn't want to become such a waste herself.

He still has a bright future ahead of him.

"Don't be nervous."

Link noticed the fairy's unusual behavior and comforted her, "You've been corrupted and mutated. We're healing you."

The intelligent puppet beside it immediately translated into the common language of the fairy world.

"Uh-huh."

The fairy nodded repeatedly, her body trembling.

Is it something that can be done simply by not being nervous?

This feels like I could be torn to pieces at any moment.

Seeing this, Link stopped talking, finished the treatment, and left the operating room with old man Murphy.

The wizard Salosar is gone.

The pharmacist in the medical department is still there; let him handle it.

If I can't do innovative work, I can't do technical work well, and if I can't even comfort fairies, I might as well kill myself.

He's a level one wizard, after all.

Even if it's watery, where can it go?

Stepping out of the lab, old man Murphy looked at the densely packed goblin heads in the distance and suddenly asked, "Do you know why Salosaar insisted on having you solve this problem?"

Link shook his head.

He genuinely didn't know the reason.

Old man Murphy didn't beat around the bush and said directly:

"Because Salosare was the first student that Celine the Wizard took in."

His qualifications and rank were sufficient, and even though his academic abilities in pharmacology and alchemical potions were lacking, he still became the senior disciple of Celine's school, managing her students on her behalf.

After a pause, old man Murphy gazed wistfully into the distance, as if looking back on a distant past, and sighed deeply:

"I was Celine's second student, but unfortunately, I was less talented than Salosar."

Not only are their wizarding levels lagging behind, but their performance in potion-making and alchemy potion-making is also a complete mess.

We all hope that a gifted junior apprentice will appear to help Wizard Celine climb towards becoming a Grand Alchemist!

With that, old man Murphy turned to Link and asked seriously, "You won't let us down, will you?"

After hearing these words, Link was actually a little puzzled.

Given the current situation, it's not appropriate to hide anything; let's ask directly:

"The sorceress Celine has developed a potion called 'Regret' that is worthy of being recorded in history. According to many people, as long as she is promoted to the sage level, she will be able to be crowned with the title of 'Grand Apothecary'."

Why is there still that need you mentioned?

Old Murphy chuckled and said, "A 'Grand Apothecary' must not only establish their own school of thought, but also be able to teach students who can inherit their school, or even surpass them and establish their own school."

With sharp eyes that seemed to see right through people, old man Murphy stared into Link's eyes: "You are the 'student' we've been longing for for years, our junior brother!"

Link could hear the intense emotion in Murphy's words.

This is a typical example of someone who, because they themselves are incapable, places their hopes on those who come after them.

He said that even if the head of the medical department is not very competent, how could he tolerate such a small fry as Link repeatedly "jumping around" and slapping the medical department in the face?

And there was no retaliatory action whatsoever.

They even went so far as to build a stage to make Link perform even better and stand out more.

Nothing in this world happens without a reason.

Why is old man Murphy so good to Link?

Why does the sorcerer Salosar indulge Link so much?

The reason is that they have high hopes for Link.

Link understood.

However, he did not give a direct response to old man Murphy, remaining silent.

To be honest, Link was quite disgusted by the ideas and behavior of old man Murphy and wizard Salosar.

However, they couldn't speak out directly, so they could only remain silent.

After a while, just as the two were about to leave the medical department's temporary residence, Link spoke:

"If Wizard Celine needs my help, I will do my utmost to assist her. However, this is not for your sake, but for my own, and for the care and support Wizard Celine has given me."

After saying this, Link ignored the old man Murphy's extremely complicated expression and took out his newly acquired level 3 wizarding vehicle.

As I threw it, I childishly shouted in my mind:

Transform!

Watching the miniaturized vehicle rapidly expand to its normal size.

Link couldn't help but sigh:

A man is a boy until he dies;

as well as,

A car truly is a man's second "home".

Link fell in love with the vehicle at their very first meeting.

After finishing his reflections, Link walked towards a 3rd Ring Wizard-level vehicle with an extremely noble and luxurious appearance, resembling a custom-made Mr. Bean Phantom Coupe.

Sensing Link's approach, who had already completed the mental binding during the throwing process, the car door opened automatically.

Link got into the driver's seat.

This vehicle supports both manual and intelligent driving modes.

Link chose intelligent driving, of course.

Having been away from the "car world" for so long, even if I'm itching to get back to work, I can't risk my life, right?

After a low rumble, the cool vehicle carried Link away from the medical department's temporary base at an astonishing speed.

After a refreshing run and some fresh air outside, Link returned to the medical department's temporary base.

Old Murphy had by this time recovered from his rather fervent emotions.

He greeted Link and said calmly, "There's nothing much going on here. If you can't stay here, you can go back first."

Link laughed and said, "Since we came together, let's leave together."

With that, Link put away the vehicle and walked toward the medical department's pharmaceutical production line.

Old man Murphy didn't stop it; he was happy to see it happen.

A genius who can get along with others is always easier to get along with than a proud and aloof genius.

Thus, the nine members of the pharmacy department worked all day to help the medical department, and finally managed to deal with all 6+ contaminated fairies.

Back at the camp in the desolate world, it was already sunset.

The entire world of Wizarding follows the same rules of time, regardless of the distance between places!

When dawn breaks in the wizarding world, dawn breaks in all other worlds as well.

When night falls in the Wizarding World, it also falls in every other world.

That's how domineering it is!

Back in his dorm, Link took a bath, reflected on the day's events, and then fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up early the next morning, had nothing to do, and started studying.

This leisurely and undisturbed life lasted for a month and a half.

The final version of the Body Refining Potion, after such a long period of testing, feedback, and optimization, has been released.

Link was too lazy to handle the troublesome things like production lines and sales himself, so after finalizing the version, he contacted the wizard Celine directly.

"Little one, do you miss your sister?"

For some reason, upon seeing Link's youthful face this time, the wizard Celine felt a sudden urge to tease him.

Perhaps he wanted to shake off the greasiness he felt at Loken last time by using Link's refreshing touch?

"No!"

Link kept a straight face, refusing to be teased like a puppy by the mature woman, and said seriously, "The body-refining potion has been finalized, and I want to transfer it to your potion shop for production and sales."

"snort!"

Celine the Wizard gave a coquettish glare, rolling her eyes at Link with her charming aura, and said irritably, "What, you're done using Loken for testing the medicine?"

Link calmly replied, "He didn't lose out either. My potion is much more effective than the ones he used before."

"Yes, you're the best!"

The wizard Celine gave a perfunctory reply, then asked, "How much of the profit are you planning to give my sister this time? Last time, the 30% profit from 'AI Brain' made her a fortune."

Upon hearing this, Link couldn't help but retort, "You haven't given me my share yet, so I don't even know how much I've actually earned."

Wizard Celine smiled and said, "Didn't you say that Jasmine would handle the finances? I gave them to her."

Link was speechless.

That is indeed what he said.

However, his original words were that the finances, which he described as "free to do whatever he wanted," were handled by Jasmine.

This does not include his own private finances!

However, after being so taunted by the witch Celine, it was difficult to defend oneself.

Link could only remain silent for a moment before saying, "Let's go with a 70/30 split. Your pharmacy will handle the materials, production, and sales."

"Hehe, okay."

Celine the Wizard covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's so sweet that my little brother always gives me money. I love him to death."

Link couldn't help but break out in a frown.

This is definitely not the Celine Wizard in her normal state.

Sure enough, a pleasant voice came from the side and asked, "Cerine, who are you video chatting with? Is it that straight-laced guy, Paro? Ignore him, come and keep drinking!"

The wizard Celine turned her head to look at the source of the sound and said, "It's not Paro. It's little brother Link."

"Link!"

Suddenly, a slightly shrill shout rang out.

Link felt that the voice sounded very familiar.

Without thinking twice, Iris threw her face at the screen and exclaimed happily, "Link, are you okay? Did you have fun? Did you miss me? I missed you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Link couldn't help but crease his forehead with three more black lines.

Why do girls who have had a little alcohol act so fiercely?

They're all incredibly good at hitting straight shots!

Link replied calmly, "Thank you. It's fine. I'm not unhappy."

"oh."

Upon seeing Link's response, Iris's eager expression immediately fell, and she responded sullenly.

A stunningly beautiful woman, no less beautiful than Celine the Wizard, but with a more refined and serene demeanor, appeared on the screen. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she glared angrily at Link: "You're Link Grand? How dare you speak to my sister like that? You…"

Before he could finish speaking, the wizard Celine covered his mouth.

"Go, go, go..."

The witch Celine began to "drive away" the sisters Renee and Iris, saying, "Don't interfere with my business."

"Are you talking about serious business?"

Renee persisted, continuing to unleash the amplified emotions amplified by the effects of the medicinal wine, "You're just reminiscing about the old Paro!"

"That's enough!"

Celine the Wizard's face suddenly darkened. She shouted something and then turned off the video call.

Link only noticed a hint of sadness and loneliness that naturally flowed through Celine's eyes.

"this……"

Link still felt a sense of unreality about what had just happened and those conversations.

A moment later, before Link could even react, the wizard Celine sent a video call request.

Link didn't dare to delay and quickly answered the call.

The background remains the same, but the wizard Celine's condition is clearly different.

His eyes no longer held the previous daze and unfocus; they were as wise and profound as ever.

"Sixty-four points!"

Suddenly, the wizard Celine made a rather unreasonable request: "I want 40% of the profits from this body-refining potion."

After a moment's hesitation, Link nodded: "Okay."

The extra ten percent can be considered a reward to the witch Celine.

The witch Celine didn't really care whether it was 30% or 40%; she was just a little embarrassed and angry and wanted to make up for some of it.

Skipping over the issue of profit sharing, the wizard Celine looked at Link intently, then suddenly sighed softly:

"Link, don't be like Paro."

"To cause suffering."
