Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 99 The Scene Gets Huge

"I'm allocating 100 standard level 1 magic stones to you as research and development funding."

However, I need to see a perfume sample that satisfies me within three days.

The witch Celine extended her right index finger, which was straight and white like a scallion root, and gently tapped Link's forehead, feigning anger.

Link dared not resist, much less react, and obediently accepted it.

Jasmine, who was standing next to her, subconsciously bit her lip.

She stole a glance at the wizard Celine.

I only felt that the other person was stunningly beautiful, had an amazing temperament, was incredibly charming, and radiated irresistible allure.

As for myself, although I have grown taller, my body is still somewhat flat.

Compared to this, I felt a pang of sadness and sighed deeply.

When will I be able to be like the witch Celine?

Upon sensing this, the witch Celine couldn't help but chuckle.

It has been nearly two months since she returned home from the front lines, and there are very few things that have made her happy.

But the two children in front of her really cheered her up a lot.

Withdrawing her finger, Wizard Celine said seriously, "Leave the fragrance sample. Go back and start developing a perfume based on daylily. Remember to organize the experimental data; you can publish one or two more 'papers'."

"Yes, Wizard Celine."

Link solemnly replied.

Signaling to Link and Jasmine to go about their business, the wizard Celine carried the cooler and swayed her hips as she went upstairs.

……

With his experience in developing aromatherapy essential oils and fragrances, Link completed the development of perfume in just one night.

There are two main differences between perfume and fragrance.

One is the intensity of the fragrance, the changes in the fragrance, and the duration of the fragrance.

One is the way it is used, when it is used, and the occasion for it.

Nothing else is wrong.

It's worth mentioning that perfumes come in several different scents depending on the ingredients added.

Friday.

Faced with the several perfume samples with different scents that Link had developed with extremely high efficiency, the witch Celine did not say much, but only marveled in her heart once again at Link's talent in botany and pharmacology.

Back then, she was also exceptionally talented in botany and pharmacology, but she still wasn't as amazing as Link.

However, as evening approached, the witch Celine "taught" Link a lesson through her actions.

Talent is just talent, potential is just potential, and strength is just strength!

Whether it's the fragrance of daylily or the perfume of daylily, after being processed by the wizard Celine, they have all been greatly enhanced.

Both, like the Li Xuancao aromatherapy essential oil, are available in three tiers: a pure version for wizard apprentices, an essence version for first-level wizards, and a premium version for second-level wizards.

Beyond that, due to limitations in materials and the special nature of third-level wizards, there are no higher levels.

In this way, based on the daylily, a full range of products, including perfumes, fragrances, and aromatherapy oils, were developed.

Perfume maximizes charm, fragrance is used in daily life, balancing practicality and beauty, and aromatherapy essential oils are designed to promote meditation.

After listening to Celine's lecture and receiving permission, Link took the two revised "papers" to Paro the next day.

They both accept "paper" reviews and report on their current situation.

After reading the "paper," the wizard Paro put down the manuscript, looked at Link with a meaningful gaze, and said quietly:

"Are you targeting Sophie Lucia?"

"Yes."

Link answered Paro the wizard's question honestly.

He did initially intend to conceal his true intentions, and he did so.

The research report handed to the witch Celine was the result of concrete action.

But Link never thought he could definitely get away with it.

This is something that's something to be happy about if you can do it, and it doesn't matter if you can't.

Therefore, even if the wizard Paro exposes you to your face, don't panic, just tell the truth.

"You're being quite honest now."

The wizard Paro smiled and said something profound.

"I dare not deceive the wizard Paro."

Link remained unfazed and answered calmly.

He certainly didn't deceive the wizard Paro; he answered every question, didn't he?

As for the research report, it consists entirely of data and fragrance market analysis, without any personal bias.

He simply didn't explain his original intention in developing the fragrance.

At most, he had some ulterior motives, wanting to use the influence of the wizard Paro to do his own thing.

Paro only gave the little rascal a slight reprimand, without intending to punish him further.

He was never afraid of subordinates who were cunning; he only disliked subordinates who didn't use their cunning for serious matters.

For example, Antoine Hilton, that fool who fell into the trap of lust for power.

Link Grand is a skilled wizard, studies diligently, is polite, and knows how to behave appropriately.

He has shown exceptional talent in botany and pharmacology and is worthy of further training.

Having a bit of shrewdness is actually a good thing.

Such a genius, if managed well, is a near-perfect subordinate.

Is the Wizard of Paro worried that he can't control Link Grand?

Great joke.

The wizard Paro asked again, "Do you think it makes sense?"

After going through such a long and complicated process, there's still no guarantee of achieving the desired effect.

He was somewhat curious about what Link was thinking.

Link remained silent for a long time before replying, "I just wanted to vent my frustrations."

I really don't want to keep holding this grudge in my heart.

Even if it's a roundabout way, even if the chances of success are slim, I still foolishly did it.

"Yeah?"

The wizard Paro smiled and asked, "What are your plans after this?"

This means that someone is offering to lend a helping hand.

Link understood and replied, "We plan to launch a new fragrance at the same time as them, to create competition and disrupt their sales."

"Too small."

The wizard Paro said calmly, "The scope is too small, and the scene is too small!"

Please give me some pointers.

Link listened attentively with a serious expression.

When an expert gives their opinion, just listen obediently.

"Hold a press conference to officially launch the Li Xuancao series, quickly increase brand awareness, and boost potion sales."

The wizard Paro laughed heartily, his words brimming with domineering confidence. "As for the time, let's choose the same day as the Lucia family's apothecary's new product launch. And the location? Right across the street from them!"

"I will certainly obey your orders, but..."

Link then feigned a troubled expression. "Holding a press conference? That's too much of a scale; I can't manage it!"

"Didn't you intend to use me and Celine's help from the very beginning?"

The wizard Paro laughed, "Why worry about the press conference not being able to take place?"

"You have excellent insight."

Link chuckled sheepishly, "How could you possibly hide my little scheme from me?"

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

Paro the Wizard waved his hand. "Keep these two 'papers' here; they'll be published later. The patent application will still be filed under Celine the Wizard's apothecary. As for the rights, it'll be 60/40. Although Celine the Wizard handled the development of the fragrance and perfume products, you contributed a lot, so you'll get 40% this time."

"No problem, I'll do whatever you say."

Link had no objection to how the wizard Paro handled things.

If the samples of fragrances and perfumes he presented had a quality of 1, after being processed and refined by the sorceress Celine, their quality would reach 5 or even 6.

The difference is like heaven and earth.

It's only natural that the witch Celine takes the lion's share.

After signing the patent licensing and transfer agreement, Link immediately took his leave.

If they stay any longer, they'll become a nuisance.

Link felt a sense of relief as he stepped out of the wizard Paro's office.

From the moment Jasmine came up with her wild idea to target Rukia's family business until now, she has been busy for two whole weeks.

Link did everything he could.

Next, the wizard Paro will take over, planning and directing, while Link only needs to follow orders and cooperate.

The reason Link initially thought Jasmine's idea had even a slight chance of coming true was because he considered the sharp conflict and rivalry between the wizards Paro and Peter Lionel.

Putting himself in others' shoes, he didn't believe that after being humiliated by Wizard Peter Lionel, Wizard Paro had no intention of retaliating.

Since Peter Lionel didn't directly target Paro Wizard, but instead went around in circles and orchestrated a bloody conflict within the "New Blood Mutual Aid Society," and then publicized it extensively on the "forum," he was essentially slapping Paro Wizard in the face.

That means the two haven't completely fallen out yet.

It is also subject to certain restrictions from the college.

Therefore, if the wizard Paro wants to retaliate, he has to take a roundabout approach.

At this point, what could be more appropriate than targeting Peter Lionel's henchmen?

After all, targeting "pureblood will" would inevitably be suspected of "plagiarism" and could easily make them a laughing stock.

Link's approach was indeed small-scale, targeting only one product within one of Rukia's family's industries.

Besides being able to retaliate against the trouble the other party caused him in the arena by affecting Sophie Lucia's sales performance.

No matter how well it is managed, it can only cause minor losses to the Rukia family, and it is impossible to cause any serious damage.

However, Link chose his target very carefully.

The new manager of the Lucia family's East District apothecary is none other than Soren Lucia, Peter Lionel's trusted confidante.

This pharmacy is preparing to launch a number of new product lines of medicines, including women's fragrances, which was facilitated by Soren Lucia.

Link's actions, by sheer chance, coincided with the recent plans of the wizard Paro.

The so-called press conference had been in preparation for some time.

The main focus of the press conference was not Link's Lilac Daylily essential oil, fragrance, or perfume, but rather a top-grade potion meticulously developed by the wizard Celine for third-level wizards.

However, after communicating with Wizard Celine these past few days and seeing the two "papers" Link submitted today, Wizard Paro changed his mind.

Didn't you say that my "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" had fallen so low that it needed to hire outside help?

Didn't you say you didn't want people to laugh at you for being afraid of a little devil?

How about I let this brat you're talking about slap you?

Although this slap landed on Soren Lucia's buttocks.

—A product developed and updated under the supervision of a level 3 wizard is actually inferior to a potion developed by a country bumpkin who has been studying for less than a year.

But this wasn't just a slap on Soren Lucia's backside, it was also a slap on Peter Lionel's face!

The wizard Paro was eager to see Peter Lionel's expression.

It's going to be amazing.
