The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord

Chapter 58

Ten days passed quickly.

Lin En sat in front of his workstation, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.

He had a nightmare last night, dreaming that a group of wizard apprentices with broken arms and legs came to him to seek revenge.

They were also muttering incomprehensible words such as "You, a fake medicine seller, are destined to go to hell."

"As a wizard apprentice, I can still have nightmares. I must be too tired recently. I need to relax. I will go to the party tonight and buy some things by the way."

Lin En rubbed his eyebrows, took a sip of milk tea, and thought in his heart.

On his progress panel, the progress of [Apprentice Potion Master] has reached (50/200), which is the biggest gain of his hard work for more than ten days.

He knew very well that the progress of refining only one kind of potion was extremely limited. If he wanted to really improve, he had to learn and master more kinds of potions.

If you think about it carefully, this is also common sense.

A formal potion master can never be promoted with only one or two potions. He must dabble in a variety of potions and accumulate enough knowledge and experience before he can enter a higher realm.

While thinking, a "worker" quietly approached and whispered:

"Thank you, Lin En! Fortunately, there is a way you recommended, otherwise I would have to borrow points to buy materials..."

"No, no, we are all friends, and we should help each other."

Lin En smiled slightly and put the things handed by the other party into his sleeves.

To make money, there are only two ways: increase income and reduce expenditure.

Lin En has long discovered that if he directly sells the refining materials of "One Night Rejuvenation" and then buys materials for other potions, the process is cumbersome and will also lead to loss of points.

Every time he sells and buys, the furnace will take a commission. Without the furnace as an intermediary, the transaction is difficult to convince people.

So, he had an idea and thought of a more efficient way: directly transfer the "One Night Rejuvenation" materials he accumulated to the "workers" at a low price.

The price was naturally "considerate", and even allowed the other party to exchange it with other potion materials.

Apprentices made potions every day and always had various materials on hand, and Lin En just needed a variety of materials to try different potion recipes.

This trading model not only reduced the double commission of the furnace, but also avoided unnecessary points loss.

As the saying goes, less loss means more profit.

What's more, he introduced others to ways, which not only livened up their feelings, but also received some gifts, which was much better than the previous strategy of selling materials for points and then using points to buy materials.

There was no talk for a day. After Lin En finished his work today, he simply said hello to several apprentices. Instead of going back to the dormitory to rest, he walked out of the potion garden.

The furnace is divided into several departments. Although most apprentices and formal wizards have left due to the war, each department still has a small number of people left to maintain basic operations.

Especially in logistics departments like the potion garden, there are relatively more people left behind.

However, even so, the number of people in the furnace today is far less than in the past. It is no exaggeration to say that only one out of ten people can survive.

Because of this, many shops in the living area are empty and few people visit.

Faced with this situation, some people who stayed behind had an idea and organized a party every few days.

These parties are of various forms, ranging from pure revelry - drinking, dancing, and indulgence, to intelligence exchange and commodity trading.

For the people who stayed behind, these parties are rare social opportunities, which can both entertain and obtain resources.

Lin En walked through several quiet streets and alleys and headed for a pavilion in the living area.

On this way, he noticed that many people seemed to be walking with him.

The purpose of these people can be seen from their clothes: men and women are dressed in gorgeous clothes and heavy makeup, obviously coming for a night of revelry;

And people like Lin En who wear robes or carry large and small bags are most likely here to trade.

At the entrance of the party venue, Lin En took out the furnace apprentice identity card and swiped the card to enter.

The entrance fee here is higher than that of the core area, reaching two points.

Lin En was startled, and looking around at the bustling crowd, he sighed in his heart: "This place can make a lot of money just from ticket revenue."

Obviously, smart wizards will not do charity, and they hold a party just to earn points.

The threshold of two points also successfully blocked those poor people with limited money from the door, preventing them from occupying seats but not spending money.

"The admission fee is ridiculously expensive. Compared with the core area, the only selling point here is the "many people". "

Lin En shook his head, but in the bleak environment of the furnace today, the large number of people is already the biggest attraction.

Lin En swiped his card to enter, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a spacious hall.

The hall was divided into several areas. The central dance floor was obviously used for socializing, while the corners around were placed with sofas and chairs for people to rest or chat privately.

Lin En even found that some people simply set up stalls, and the dazzling array of items was dazzling.

Although it was a temporary party, the activities in this hall can be said to be all-encompassing.

He waved to the bartender, picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.

It was smooth and smooth, went down the throat in one go, and the fragrance lingered on the teeth. The breath was filled with the fragrance of orchids, which made people feel happy both physically and mentally.

These drinks were included in the ticket, and it would be a waste not to drink them.

Lin En thought, since even the wine and food were included, he should enjoy it.

He walked towards the depths of the hall, his eyes involuntarily sweeping towards the center of the dance floor.

As the saying goes, civilization and morality are just rules that constrain ordinary people, and wizard apprentices are obviously not included in this list.

The male and female apprentices in the center of the dance floor were in high spirits, behaved wildly, and had no scruples.

Lin En even caught a glimpse of a female apprentice wearing a few strips of cloth directly rushing towards a male apprentice, performing a bold scene in public without any hesitation.

However, Lin En had long been accustomed to such scenes, and his interest was not here.

It was the apprentices who took the path of bloodline wizards that caught his attention.

He saw from a distance a male apprentice who might have inherited the bloodline of an octopus, fighting one against many in the dance floor, and the scene was quite intense and eye-catching.

Lin En observed with a critical eye for a while, then retracted his gaze and turned to the direction he was more interested in - the intelligence area about the recent changes in the furnace.

Not long after, he came to a sofa.

There was a half-asleep figure leaning against the wall, with a beak-shaped mask under the wide hood, and a vigilant owl squatting at his feet.

Lin En didn't waste any words and asked directly: "What is the reason for the increase in the difficulty of the Furnace's tasks recently?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a bottle of magic potion and threw it gently.

The owl was quick-eyed and quick-clawed, and suddenly flapped its wings and swallowed the magic potion in one gulp.

At this time, the bird-beaked apprentice on the sofa spoke lazily:

"The Furnace is besieging the Great Forest of Cuidao, and that great being has come in person..."

There were not many words, but every word was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Lin En was shocked and took a deep breath.

The great being - the only one in the Furnace who can be called so is the Lord of the Furnace.
