Abel had seen the feather grass I’m ‘Morton’s observation record’ before. It was a type of plant grow in the southern part of the country. Normally they grew together with weeds, and it was very hard to differentiate them.

Carlos quickly controlled his wizard badge to accept mission 1473. Abel asked hesitantly, “He needs to get that much feather grass. Are seven days enough?”

Camille replied with a smile, “Who said we are the only one getting it? You’ll see in a moment.”

Carlos looked at the mission list thoroughly again and said, “No many good missions. The closest bounty hunting mission is still in Duchy of Keyen. The teleportation fee alone was not worth the credit. It’s a good time to take some rest. We’ll go after little brother got his wizard badge.”

“Let Abel take a look at the selling list. Stop worrying about the time,” Camille suggested.

“Ok ok, I just want the best for us,” said Carlos as he tried to control his wizard badge to illustrate the shopping record.

…

“Can all of these be exchanged with credit?”

The first item on the list, ‘constitution potion,’ was very understandable. He had four bottles on him, and he even gave Finkle one as a gift.

However, the ‘strength potion,’ ‘speed potion,’ and ‘will potion’ down below made his eyes sparkle. According to its description, it seemed to be some good stuff to forever increase an attribute.

“Abel, you really think such expensive items are good stuff? Carlos’s wizard badge can only show items for novice wizards. How good can they be?” Camille said in a disdained tone.

“Camille, but these things can forever increase your attribute!” Said Abel in a puzzled tone.

“Although the description here can’t be wrong, what the word ‘increase’ can be debatable,” said Camille as she used her thin little finger to make a tiny hand sign. She then followed, “let’s take the will potion, for example. Ever since I first saw it, I’ve always wanted to accumulate enough credit for a bottle.”

Camille stopped, signaling Carlos to turn of his magic circle. She then took out her identity card and placed it on to the defense circle. She said as she was walking out the teleportation circle, “Back when brother William was still in the magic tower, he told us that every person could only use one will potion in their life. And the will it increase was extremely low, only around 0.5 points, and both the ‘strength potion’ and ‘speed potion’ are just the same.”

Abel followed behind Camille and exited the teleportation circle with his own identity card. He then quickly asked, ” then how much constitution can the constitution potion’ increase?”

“Every time, it can increase around 0.001, and you can only drink one bottle a month, which was around enough to repair the damage a wizard will cause to their body during training. To a wizard, ‘constitution potion’ are lifesavers,” Said Camille helplessly.

Abel then thought of the ‘crystal core reshaper’ and ask “I’ve just seen some ‘crystal core reshaper,’ does that mean the potion we create for the crystal cores was exchanged?”

“Yeah, but we can’t help it anyway. The teacher doesn’t have any potion inheritance, so we can only buy those ready-made ‘crystal core reshaper’ to soften the crystal cores. This adds a lot to our cost, but at least every bottle can be used 20 times. We would just be losing money by making all those rune signs,” Said Camille in an unsatisfied tone when she talked about the ‘crystal core reshaper.’

“Little brother, you have to tell the teacher that you have ranked up as soon as possible. So when you get your wizard badge, we can start our mission immediately,” said Carlos laughing loudly as he exited the teleportation circle.

“Carlos, please use your brain. We all felt the energy wave when Abel increased his rank. How could the teacher not know?” Camille rolled her eyes on Carlos.

As the two began arguing again, Abel looked at them with a smile. However, in his mind, he was thinking about the ‘constitution potion.’ It seemed like he had underestimated the potion initially. He always thought it was just something wizards use to recover the damage the mana caused to their bodies.

Since Abel had his golden combat qi, he never saw ‘constitution potion’ as an important resource. But it shouldn’t be a surprise, anyway. If it really was an important potion, it wouldn’t become something novice wizards use every month.

However, Abel had a Horadric cube. He could combine these ‘constitution potions,’ and that could make a drastic difference. If the ‘constitution potion’ he took in every month was a master’s one, he wonders what effect would that bring.

If he could also combine the ‘strength potion,’ ‘speed potion,’ and ‘will potion’ into master’s potions. It might still be able to increase his ability by a lot, despite their one-time use. It was a pity that these three potions were too expensive. In order to combine a potion into a master’s potion, he would need at least 27 bottles of that particular type of potion. That would be 2700 credit points, and if he needed to combine all 3 of these potions into master potions, he would need 8100 credit points.

Looking back, the seven days mission just then would only give them 2 credit points. Seemed like the 1 credit point ‘constitution potion’ was the most bang for the buck for now. The other three potions were unattainable for him.

“Abel, come here. I’ll let you see how we complete these missions” Camille called Abel out of his thoughts.

“Coming!” Abel quickly followed the steps of Carlos and Camille.

The three exited the magic tower, all the low ranking wizards outside of the magic tower immediately stood up and bowed.

“I am announcing a mission. Help me get 500 feather grass in three days, and I will give out one bottle of ‘constitution potion as a reward.” Carlos stepped up and shouted.

“Mr. Carlos, leave the mission for us!” A rank 1 novice wizard shouted.

“Mr. Carlos, please give us the mission!” Shouted another rank 1 novice wizard.

“Give us the mission, please, Mr!”

All of a sudden, there were already around ten novice wizards fighting for the opportunity for this mission. The students of wizardry could not do a thing as they stood quietly by the side.

“Let’s do it according to the old rule. The first person to bring us the feather grass will be the one who gets the reward,” Carlos announced again without looking at a specific person.

“Now go! Go find those feather grass!” Afterward, the 40 or so low ranking wizards who just surrounded Morton Magic tower disappeared almost immediately.

Abel thought this mission must be very boring, but only some words by Carlos, countless people were fighting for this mission.

“Little brother, did you see it. If you just make the mission public, it can not only save our training time, and it can also allow low ranking wizards to have a chance of getting some ‘constitution potion.’ All of those low ranking wizards have their own team, and some of them also have powerful families. Therefore, it’s much more convenient for them to complete the mission for us.” Said Carlos, feeling a little proud of himself.

“Carlos, you are too clever. How can you come up with such a genius idea,” said Abel in admiration? It was a win-win for both the low ranking wizards and themselves; this was a perfect way to go about doing missions.

“Stop tricking Abel. How can this guy come up with this idea? It was the teacher who did. Therefore, even those wizards outside of the magic tower can still have a chance of getting resources.” Said Camille gazing at the embarrassed Carlos.

“The teacher was too considerate!” Said Abel sincerely.

“Our magic tower is not the only magic tower who do this. Sometimes, the other two magic towers will also give out some small, less time-consuming missions for the low ranking wizards to join,” Camille proceeded to say.

“Those black markets are too ‘black,’ a bottle of ‘constitution potion’ can sell for a very high price.” Carlos spat out.

“There’s still black markets here?” Abel asked in a puzzled tone.

“Of course! I’m starting to think if it’s the three disciples in Yveline magic tower who are selling all of these ‘constitution potions’ in the black market,” Carlos mumbled to himself.

“Be quiet, don’t let anyone hear you!” Although Camille was criticizing Carlos, her facial expression showed that she agreed with what Carlos had said.

Abel began to think, maybe the three disciples of Yveline magic tower had gone mad. They could do anything to get benefits or help to rank up to an official wizard.
