Chapter 59 Slave Warehouse
Locke left Lijin Secret Words with nine hundred magic stones.
To synthesize a pot of level 4 Mandrake vines, you need 27 pots of Mandrake vines. It takes a total of 18 hours to synthesize a pot of super Mandrake vines.
Hurry up and slowly, you can synthesize about 40 pots of super mandrake vines in a month, and you can harvest 1,200 magic stones.
This is a relatively good income, because when a wizard seedling enters Lilith's cabin, the new contract loan he is forced to take out is only 1,000 magic stones.
Locke was walking on the street with two gray dwarves, and suddenly realized that he did not need to use this hard method to synthesize level 4 mandrake vines and then sell them to Lijin Secret Words.
This takes up time to synthesize various types of gems and jade, and also takes up time to synthesize various miscellaneous items and explore new synthesis formulas.
As a breeder's assistant, I can definitely use a more cost-effective method - planting.
"Buy a few useful slaves and rent a few acres of land, and you can open a botanical garden of my own." Locke thought, "As a breeder's assistant, I do have this qualification."
"Furthermore, a single mother Mandela vine can reproduce up to seven offspring vines in its lifetime. In the sixth generation, it only has 80% of the mother's magical energy, and in the seventh generation, it only has 30% of the mother's magical energy."
About Sophia Witch and her usual teachings to him, one by one came to Locke's mind.
Locke thought: "So, a mandrake vine can only be propagated by cuttings for five generations, a total of thirty-five branches." "But I am a breeder's assistant. I can keep this relatively basic magic vine alive."
Locke also considered the mandrake vine, which bears fruit once a year and produces 2-3 seeds each time.
It can be stably produced for about five generations. By the sixth generation, there will be a lack of magic energy and the output will degrade to some extent.
In other words, a super mandrake vine can produce some seeds a year, and the survival rate of these seeds is relatively high.
With my current planting technology, as long as I have one super mandrake vine, I can get about ten of its offspring every year.
And, after planting, it can be harvested for a total of five years.
Lock did a little calculation and found that if he wanted to maintain the 40 pots of Super Mandela vines sold to Lijin Secret Whisperer every month through planting, he would need to plant at least 50 Super Mandela vines.
Taking into account issues such as seed conservation, he had better plant about 60 seeds.
That requires 5 acres of land.
This happens to be the limit of my ability as a breeder's assistant.
"Planting mandrake vines can improve my actual level in breeding, and it can also be regarded as an experiment in the direction of magic sub-directions of life magic botany." Locke thought: "It does not affect my study very much, but because Practice may have a promoting effect. "
h "And, only in this way can I launch new synthetic plants in the future without arousing suspicion from others."
h "Only in this way can I earn magic stones safely."
Locke calculated the approximate cost of planting it by himself, which was almost evenly divided into the cost of each Super Mandela vine, which was about 5 magic stones per plant.
After all, if you want to buy farmland with rich earth element particles, you need to buy special nutrient soil, high-quality fast-growing gel, and some primary pharmaceutical products that increase the survival rate of plants.
Locke was secretly alarmed, as he did not include the cost of being a breeder's assistant.
If you hire a breeder assistant, you will have to spend extra money every month, which is a lot of magic stones.
The cost of Mandela vines will still increase.
But the Mandela vine itself cannot be sold, and even if one plant is sold for 5 magic stones, no one may buy it.
It is no wonder that this vine has been completely replaced by the Tiffany root vine.
Now only breeders who grow Diver root vines can make money.
But I can get 30 magic stones for each super mandra vine, and if the cost can be reduced to 5 magic stones, I can get a net profit of 25 magic stones for each super vine.
You can get exactly 1,000 magic stones in a month.
This is a magic plant with a very large profit margin.
Locke thought: "Anyway, I am a breeder's assistant myself, so I don't need to spend extra money on hiring people. I conduct breeding experiments myself, and for me, it also has practice and improvement effects. I can make a pure profit. I only need to spend two hundred magic stones every month."
"It can be done."
"I can really try to establish a small-scale plantation by myself."
The status of a breeder's assistant in Lilith's hut is equivalent to that of a first-class wizard apprentice, so Locke does have the right to open his own plantation.
The higher-ups of Lilith's hut will most likely agree to him opening a small botanical garden around his wizard mentor's laboratory (those wooden houses).
Thinking of this, Locke headed towards the slave warehouse in the Chimera Market. If he wanted to open a plantation, he would need a lot of slaves who could work.
The gray dwarves are mentally damaged and cannot do complicated things, so they are really not suitable.
He needs some slaves like flower fairies in Witch Sophia's botanical garden. Of course, the level of flower fairy slaves is too high and the value is too expensive. He has not yet reached the level to use that kind of slaves.
Even if one of those Flower Fairy slaves dies, it will be a loss of thousands to tens of thousands of magic stones, and the cost is quite high. They have racial talents in planting and are naturally highly compatible with nature. They are the favorite slaves of high-level breeders.
Only Witch Sophia, a breeder like that, can afford it, a slave of the flower fairy tribe.
Locke took two gray dwarf servants and walked into the street where the slave warehouse was located. He saw that the slave warehouses were opened on both sides of the street, each with a storefront. They were large in scale and large in area.
On the street where the slave warehouse is located, there are hundreds of iron cages holding different slaves.
Wizards from all over the world will stop here to buy the slaves they want.
Locke looked around for a moment. In the iron cages on the street, at first glance, there were at least dozens of slaves of different races placed outside. They should be just for display.
There are dwarf slaves who are good at blacksmithing and suitable as assistants in alchemy workshops, forest deer demon slaves who are suitable as assistants in potions, and human slaves who are suitable as experimental subjects because most wizards are humans.
There are even female human slaves who have trained special skills, are exposed in revealing clothing, have slim figures, have been transformed by certain enchantments, and are full of charm.
Slaves of this kind are generally modified with spells in the direction of the enchantment school of enchantment. They are disposable items for wizards, specially used to satisfy some human wizards who have been studying for a long time and find life boring and want a change of taste.
Of course, there are also special slaves of other races and genders.
The moment Locke walked over, he attracted the attention of many clerks in the slave warehouse.
Most of these clerks seem to be just ordinary people, at most third-class wizard apprentices, just some traders promoted by the master behind the slave trade.
A short goblin clerk, dressed in black and white waiter's shop clothes, is preparing to serve Locke.
He didn't take a few steps before he was robbed by a tall and thin male dark elf with a cockscomb haircut, also wearing a black and white shop attendant's uniform.
This dark elf is a third-class wizard apprentice.
The male dark elf waiter pushed aside the goblin waiter, stood in front of Locke, bowed politely to Locke, and gave a gentleman's salute. "Good evening, young outstanding wizard."
"I am Dark Elf Benny. Please allow me to serve a big shot like you."
He glanced slyly at the four badges worn on Locke's chest, the Breeder's Assistant Badge, and the Platinum Star Badge of Lijin Secret Words, which symbolized that the other party might be a big patron.
「What kind of slave do you want?」
Locke didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and said indifferently: "Well, I need slaves who can work, can farm, and can use some medium-difficulty farm tools."
"And their intelligence must be at least in the medium range and can understand my instructions." Locke added. "If I want to grow magic plants, I still need certain operations."
Dark Elf Waiter Benny saluted Locke again, "Understood. An outstanding breeder like you needs a capable assistant."
"Dear guest, a low-level gray dwarf. Slave, it really doesn't match your status."
The two gray dwarves beside Locke blinked stupidly. They felt that they should be angry now, but because there were too many wizards here, they only dared to tremble aside.
Benny, the dark elf waiter, said: "I recommend three types of slave assistants to you, wood elf slaves, dwarf giant slaves, and shark slaves." Used by slaves, their learning ability is generally high. "
"Dwarf giants are a special breed of giants, they are dwarfs among giants. Shark slaves have a high affinity for water element particles..."
Locke frowned slightly. These three types of slaves are all typical high-priced slaves with special talents.
It is not suitable for me at the moment.
If you have extra magic stones, you can buy more courses and better magic resources.
There is no need to spend extra magic stones on purchasing slaves.
Locke interrupted the waiter's gushing and said indifferently: "All I want is a slave in the botanical garden, and I need to consider cost-effectiveness."
"The three options you recommended are not suitable."
