Abe the Wizard - Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Merchandise List

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

Carlos quickly controlled his wizard badge to accept mission 1473. Abel asked hesitantly, “He needs to get a lot of feather grass. Will seven days be enough?”

Camille replied with a smile, “Who said it’s only him getting it? You’ll see in a moment.”

Carlos looked at the mission list thoroughly again and said, “There aren’t that many good missions. The closest bounty hunting mission is still in Duchy of Keyen. The teleportation fee alone isn’t worth the credit. It’s a good time for a rest. We’ll go after junior brother gets his wizard badge.”

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

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

Merchandise name: constitution potion, credit required: 1 affect: recover body damage, increase body constitution.

Merchandise name: strength potion, credit required: 100 affect: forever increase strength

Merchandise name: speed potion, credit required: 100 affect: forever increase speed

…

“Can all of these be exchanged with credit?”

The first item on the list, ‘constitution potion,’ was 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’ made his eyes sparkle. According to its description, it seemed to perpetually increase an attribute.

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

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

“That description isn’t wrong, but ‘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 took out her identity card and placed it on to the defense circle. As she was walking out the teleportation circle, she said, “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 its results were extremely low, only around 0.5 points. Both the ‘strength potion’ and ‘speed potion’ are just the same.”

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

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

Abel thought of the ‘crystal core reshaper’ and asked “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 price, 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.’

“Junior 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,” Carlos said, laughing loudly.

“Carlos, please use your brain. We all felt the energy wave when Abel increased his rank. Teacher definitely knows,” Camille rolled her eyes.

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

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

Still, Abel had the Horadric cube. He could combine these ‘constitution potions,’ and make a drastic difference in the effect. If the ‘constitution potion’ he took in every month was a master’s one, he wondered about the possibilities.

If he combined the ‘strength potion,’ ‘speed potion,’ and ‘will potion’ into master’s potions, he might be able to increase his ability by a lot, despite their one-time use. It was a pity that they 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.

He remembered that the seven days mission would only give them 2 credit points. Sighing, he realized that the 1 credit point ‘constitution potion’ was the best potion value-wise. The other three potions were unattainable for him.

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

“Coming!” Abel quickly followed.

The three exited the magic tower, and 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 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 tradition. 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 them!” Afterward, the 40 or so low ranking wizards who just surrounded Morton Magic tower disappeared almost immediately.

Abel thought no one would take the mission because it must be very boring, but with only a few words from Carlos, countless people were fighting for the mission.

“Junior brother, did you see it. If you just make the mission public, it saves our training time, and gives those low ranking wizards an opportunity for some ‘constitution potion.’ All of these low ranking wizards have their own team, and some of them also have powerful families. So, it’s much more convenient for them to complete the mission for us,” Carlos said, feeling a little proud of himself.

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

“Stop tricking Abel. How could a guy like this come up with this idea? It was the teacher who did. So 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 is too considerate!” Said Abel sincerely.

“Our magic tower isn’t alone in doing 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 greedy. 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 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, she looked like she agreed with what Carlos had said.

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