Emery's lips curled into a smile, her tone radiating powerful confidence:

"The first document is about the magic-powered vehicle driver assistance plugin that was released some time ago. It says that all large transport vehicles have a new version of the plugin that needs to be updated, and that each vehicle must go to the local Melson Magic Workshop to update the plugin soon, otherwise we have the right to remotely lock the vehicle."

"I understand, Miss."

Marcy understood immediately, and she and Sulina exchanged a glance, both realizing that Emery intended to sabotage the vehicles transporting the fish oil in order to add the potion targeting the squid spirit into the Salu Brand fish oil, which only the squid spirit could eat.

"What do you plan to do with that spatial storage magic device, young lady?"

Su Lina couldn't help but ask again, her curiosity piqued:

"This is an old product that the Melson Magic Workshop has been selling for hundreds of years. There's no need for any mandatory technology upgrades recently. How do you plan to proceed?"

"This is even simpler."

Emery snorted and said:

"Let our magic workshop advertise that we have a trade-in program for space storage magic devices. Participants can exchange their old magic devices for the latest models with a small price difference, and they will also receive various discounts and gifts... In short, we want to make participants feel like they are getting a great deal no matter what."

"As for whether we lose money on the event itself... it doesn't matter. No matter how much money we lose on this event, we can make it back a thousand times or ten thousand times after defeating the squid demon."

"Many of the squid spirits now believe they are human, and humans are all more or less prone to being greedy for small gains... Some of the lower-level employees of those logistics companies will definitely be unable to resist using their work-related spatial storage magic devices to participate in the event, and once one person participates and profits, it will be hard for the rest not to be envious, and then... hehe, do you understand?"

Sulina and Marcy both suddenly realized, and then looked at Emerald with admiration.

Especially Su Lina.

She never imagined that the Ise Group, which she thought controlled almost the entire supply chain, was so tightly guarded and had so many loopholes in Emerald's hands.

Marcy immediately drafted documents according to Emerald's instructions and sent Emerald's plan back to the Melson family, so that the family could cooperate.

The Melson family certainly wouldn't reject Emery's plan; in fact, many people were already eagerly waiting for Emery to make her move... Now that the plan was finally in place, they would definitely execute it strictly.

As for Emerald herself, she spent the night at the Blue Star Dance Troupe. She carefully checked Sulina's dance skills and water magic training progress, and even gave her a lot of pointers, which made Sulina feel that she had gained a lot. She was so happy that she made a "oh ho ho ho" sound.

The next morning, when Emery returned to her office first, Marcy was already waiting there.

She told the Amelie family that preparations had already begun, and that once Amelie's potion research was successful, they could officially begin operations at any time.

The next period of time should be spent waiting, waiting for the turmoil caused by Gaif's previous pranks to completely subside, waiting for old man Langdon to successfully develop the improved potion formula, and also waiting for the family of that infatuated young master Melson from 60 years ago to prepare for cross-world communication.

Emerald planned to take advantage of this time to visit the otherworldly swordsman uncle and have him personally explain his understanding of gods and religion.

However, perhaps good things come to those who wait, just as Amelie was about to set off, old man Landon from the Dark Altar contacted her again, saying that he needed her help to improve the potion formula.

Emery frowned slightly, but still rushed over immediately, and upon arriving at old man Langdon, she let out a mocking laugh like a little devil:

"What's wrong? Old Langdon, weren't you so confident? Why do you need me to step in and help you so soon? Are you even capable?"

This was the first time Xia Sha had seen Emerald like this, and she looked at her with surprise, becoming even more curious about the relationship between Emerald and old man Langdon.

Old man Langdon remained completely unmoved:

“I’m just pursuing efficiency… If I improve the formula in the normal way, I can definitely make what you need within the specified time. But last night, during a certain test, I suddenly had an unexpected discovery, and then a brilliant idea flashed into my mind… If it’s feasible, what you need can be completed today.”

"Oh? You can finish it today? It's only been a few days... You're truly amazing."

Emery raised an eyebrow in surprise, then became even more curious:

"Then what are we waiting for? Tell us your thoughts, old Langdon."

Chapter 316 This young lady is a genius beautiful magician!

When faced with Emery's question, old man Langdon did not answer immediately. Instead, a tentacle extended from his biological laboratory-shaped body, with a test tube at the tip containing a bluish liquid that looked like apple juice.

After Amelie took the test tube and began to observe the liquid, old man Langdon snorted:

"If I tell you the truth, Miss, your little lovefish might be sad... but the truth is that the sea creature's potion scientists are all useless! That potion must have been discovered by accident. Its original purpose was definitely not to make the squid people reveal their true form... because more than 95% of the ingredients in that potion have no effect on making the squid people reveal their true form, and less than 5% of the ingredients are effective. These are exactly what you see now, Miss, and I have perfectly extracted them."

"...Really?"

Emery shook the test tube in her hand and looked at Shasha beside her.

Xia Sha wasn't angry; she just made a face as if trying hard to remember, and after a moment shook her head.

"Maybe, I don't know... In the inherited knowledge I received, it was only recorded that this potion could make the squid people reveal their true form, but the origin and original function of the potion were not mentioned at all."

"That must be something your ancestors were too embarrassed to record!"

Langdon's criticisms were merciless.

"Alright, alright, I know your talent is unparalleled, old Langdon, you don't need to keep emphasizing it here."

Emery could only praise old Langdon in a coaxing tone before continuing to ask him:

"So what? After you extracted these substances that are truly effective against squid essence, what new discoveries have you made?"

"Indeed, something has been discovered."

After receiving praise from Emery, old man Langdon seemed satisfied and stopped keeping him in suspense, beginning his serious work report:

"As per your orders, young lady, I need to determine the effects of this potion, and also improve the formula and efficacy so that the potion is not only colorless and odorless and dissolves in water, but also delays its effects by more than half a month, and can even withstand high-temperature cooking without losing its effectiveness... Hmph, this kind of improvement is indeed a bit difficult, but it's nothing to me. Give me some time, and I can definitely complete it all as required."

"After successfully refining this key substance yesterday, I plan to immediately conduct research on improving the new potion formula... To do this, I must first test the various properties of this key substance. Only with detailed data can further research proceed smoothly."

"It was during the testing of this substance that I unexpectedly discovered that it was extremely stable and almost unaffected by external magic... but its color was quite noticeable and it had a strange odor, making it easy to spot."

"So I suddenly had a bold idea—if we could seal it in a very small crystal with some kind of extremely sophisticated sealing magic, wouldn't that solve the problem? The magic seal could isolate its color and odor, making it difficult for people to discover, and at the same time, the duration of the seal could be set at will to delay its effect, or even be actively controlled by the caster."

"As for what kind of sealing magic to use... hehe."

Old Langdon chuckled again at this point:

"I happen to know a super powerful and talented young female magician. She is particularly good at using a kind of sacred seal, and often seals all sorts of strange things in crystals."

"Old Langdon, the genius young magician you're talking about must be me, right? You old codger know how to talk."

Emery was clearly pleased by these compliments, but she didn't become blindly arrogant. Instead, she thought about it carefully before replying:

"However, the tiny sealing crystals that are invisible to the naked eye... are at least at the micrometer level. Considering that some people have special abilities and exceptional vision, they may need to be even smaller, down to the nanometer level, to be absolutely safe... I don't know if I can do it, but let's give it a try."

After speaking, Amelie removed the stopper from the test tube in her hand, using magic to suspend a small drop of blue liquid in the air, observing it with her bright golden right eye:

"Hmm... the molecular diameter of this liquid is about 0.6 nanometers. I can try to seal it directly with nano-sized sacred crystals."

The experiment began quickly, but the results were unsatisfactory, at least to Amelie herself.

Because she tried her best to make the crystal of the sacred seal smaller, she couldn't even achieve a seal at the micrometer level, let alone the nanometer level.

"Forget it, let this old man use the clumsy method to improve the potion formula."

Seeing this, old man Langdon deliberately spoke in a very strange tone:

"Making the sealing crystal so small that it is absolutely invisible to the naked eye seems too difficult for you, young lady."

"...Tsk, you old codger, who do you think you are?"

Emery knew, of course, that old Langdon was trying to provoke her, but her pride prevented her from resisting even knowing it was a provocation:

"This young lady is a genius who can rival the Dao Ancestor! It's just controlling the crystals of the Sacred Seal to the nanometer level, what's so difficult about that... I just haven't done it before. If you're so capable, give me two days to practice!"

After finishing speaking, Emery grabbed the test tube and was about to leave, but before she did, she stopped and gave old man Langdon another instruction:

"Of course, old Langdon, you're not allowed to slack off either. You must continue your research on improving traditional potion recipes, and it would be best if you could complete both plans."

"I know, Miss... I would have done it even if you hadn't said anything."

Old Man Langdon also waved his tentacle:

"Then keep going, and believe in yourself that you are a true genius."

. . . . .

"I really am a genius."

Three days later, in the meditation room in the basement of the Emerald Villa, she leaned against Marcy's chest, looking smugly at her seemingly empty palms.

In fact, Emery wasn't arrogant at all. The reason she failed three days ago was because she had never tried to make the sealing crystal as small as possible before.

For the next three days, she practiced continuously, reflecting on each attempt and striving to make the seal even more effective.

As a result, Emerald's sealing skills improved rapidly. She has now successfully controlled the crystal particles of the Holy Seal to a minimum diameter of about 3 nanometers, a level that even her own golden right eye can barely see. The possibility of others discovering it is extremely low.

After being sealed by Amelie's holy magic, the blue liquid becomes a colorless and odorless transparent liquid, looking exactly like water, and will not arouse any suspicion.

The issues of incubation period and delayed effect were also perfectly resolved. After all, the magical seal was set by Emery herself, and she could release the seal whenever she wanted, completely controlling the best time for the squid demon to reveal its true form.

At the same time, Emerald's sacred seal also has a certain protective effect. No matter how the squid demons treat the seal particles... high temperature, freezing, or even magical purification, it is difficult to destroy the effect of the blue liquid.

"The squid demons are definitely doomed now!"

Emerald had to admit that old man Langdon's method was indeed the best strategy. The only drawback was that Emerald herself would have to work harder, as she had to personally process all the potions that could make the squid spirits reveal their true forms.

However, this is not entirely a drawback, because controlling the sealing crystal particles to the nanoscale is a high-intensity training even for Emeryte at her current level.

After five consecutive days of almost non-stop potion production, Emerald could clearly feel that her control over magic had become more refined, which gave her a bolder idea.

Now that we can precisely control the flow of magic at the micrometer or even nanometer level, could we, like the semiconductor chips of the previous Earth's technological civilization, create even more powerful magic by complexly combining and changing the micrometer-level flow of magic?

Amelie was eager to try it immediately, but she had a gut feeling that once this research began, it wouldn't be able to stop anytime soon, and the current timing wasn't quite right.

So Emery resisted the temptation and decided to conduct this research after completely dealing with the squid demons.

It was already late autumn, and Amelie had personally processed a considerable amount of the potion that could reveal the true form of the squid spirit using a sacred seal. Even the traditional improvement research by old man Langdon had been successful, resulting in the development of a new type of potion with an incubation period of about 20 days.

With the preliminary preparations now complete, Emerald contacted her family and decided to officially begin her operation against the Ise Retsu Foundation, which was dealing with the squid spirits.

The first step, of course, is to give the squid spirits living in the Financial Triangle region the magic potion that will allow them to reveal their true forms.

The free upgrade program for the driver assistance module of large freight vehicles and the trade-in program for space storage magic devices started almost simultaneously.

To avoid arousing suspicion from the cunning squid spirits, both of Melson Magic Workshop's activities were carried out throughout the entire Federation.

The free upgrade program for the driver assistance module is alright, it just requires some manpower, but the trade-in program for the space storage magic device is practically throwing money away.

To make the trade-in program attractive enough, the program not only allows people to exchange their old spatial storage magic device, which has a market price of around 2000 Luns, for a new spatial storage magic device with a retail price of over 5000 Luns by paying an additional 1000 Luns, but also gives away a lot of exquisite small gifts, and even free trial vouchers for high-end brothels, with a total value of about 10000 Luns.

3000 Luns for 10000 Luns! Even a fool could see this was a huge profit, so people flocked to the event, and participants came in droves.

This is an activity carried out across the entire federation. Even the smartest people would at most think it's some kind of business tactic, that Merson is throwing money around now in order to reap the rewards later, and they would never imagine that it's actually targeting a specific group.

The Ise Retsu Foundation is no exception.

The supply chain of Saloo brand fish oil, which was completely closed to outsiders, was thus easily invaded.

First, the large cargo magic-powered vehicles responsible for transporting fish oil all went to the nearest Melson Magic Workshop to update their assisted driving modules.

In each of the Melson Magic Workshops, in addition to updating the plug-ins, the staff also cleaned the cargo holds of these magical freight wagons, using a special cleaning solution that had just been distributed—a colorless and odorless transparent liquid.

The drivers who accompanied the truck to the Magic Workshop also noticed this, but the free car wash during the repair was just the most basic perk. The drivers had no suspicions and were all drinking beverages and eating snacks while waiting in the rest area for their vehicles to be upgraded and cleaned.

The [Squid Spirit Manifestation Potion], which was personally made by Amelie, was left in the cargo hold of those magical freight vehicles through a car wash. Even the staff at the local Melson Magic Workshop didn't know what it was, assuming it was a new type of cleaning fluid that had just been issued from above. There was no need to worry about the lower-level staff leaking the secret.

When these magical freight vehicles return to transport the road-sprinkling fish oil, the magic potions in their cargo holds will enter the fish oil and be consumed by the squid spirits of the Financial Delta region.

Of course, not all fish oil for road signs is transported by large freight vehicles, so the trade-in program for the space storage magic device was also launched.

At first, the squid spirits of the Ise Retsu Foundation were cautious. They did not force the logistics company's junior employees not to participate in the event, but they advised against it and said that even if they did participate, they should only use their own private storage magic devices and not the company's.

The grassroots employees of those logistics companies didn't initially intend to use the company's spatial storage magic devices to participate in the event, since they would have to pay the price difference for the trade-in themselves. They all replaced their own personal spatial storage magic devices first and enjoyed the new product.

The result was that the new product was better than the old one, with more complete functions, larger internal space, easier operation, and a more stylish and cool appearance.

Even so, the initial grassroots employees of those logistics companies still had no intention of using the company's spatial storage magic device to participate in the event. What ultimately changed their minds was... the voucher for experiencing a high-class brothel that was given away as part of the welfare event.

Like restaurants and hotels, entertainment venues such as brothels have different levels of quality. High-end venues are mostly membership-based, and even if ordinary people can afford to pay for a single visit, they simply cannot afford a membership card and are normally out of reach of high-end establishments.

However, just as the food in a high-end restaurant is more refined and delicious than that at a street stall, the girls in a high-end brothel are also more beautiful, more talented, and more charming and gentle than those in an ordinary brothel, making it hard to forget once you've experienced it.

Many grassroots employees of logistics companies don't even have a partner, so how could they resist the temptation of the beautiful women in high-class brothels? After using a trial voucher to experience it once, they were completely captivated and their souls were bewitched by the beauties in the store.

They naturally wanted to go again, and were willing to grit their teeth and spend a month's income on it, but unfortunately, none of them had memberships. Even if they were willing to spend money, they couldn't get into the store without the trial vouchers.

At this point, they realized that in addition to their personal spatial storage magic devices, they also had several space storage magic devices issued by the company, which were their main tools for work.

So, by paying the difference of 1000 Luns, you can use the space storage magic device issued by the company to participate in the limited-time trade-in event of the Melson Magic Workshop.

The new magical artifact will not only be more convenient to use at work, but will also bring a lot of freebies, including vouchers for experiencing high-class brothels.

Although the new magical artifact they received didn't belong to them, the voucher for the high-class brothel was enough for many people to be willing to pay the 1000 rons difference, not to mention the other generous gifts. No matter how you look at it, it was a huge profit.

So naturally, many frontline employees of logistics companies took the space storage magic devices issued by the company to participate in the trade-in program, and then used the new magic devices they received to work.

The new spatial storage magical devices in the Financial Triangle region were naturally tampered with by the Melson Magic Workshop in advance.

The craftsmen were also unaware of what they were doing; they were simply following orders, adding a colorless and odorless transparent liquid into the magical artifacts… The liquid was also provided by their superiors, who claimed it was a special magical artifact lubricant that would extend the artifacts’ lifespan. It went largely unnoticed and unsuspecting.
