Chapter 152 The Shock of Colleagues
Because there is no way to solve the problem of the complicated magic plant curse on the patient, Locke and the other three can only put him aside first, and then go to treat other first-class wizard apprentices who are cursed.
In the evening, Locke was about to leave the treatment center, but saw Senior Zach on the way.
Loke waved to Zach. "Senior Zach, what do you want from me?"
Zach saw Locke and his smile became even brighter. "I'm so anxious to find you, so there must be something urgent. I want to talk to you about the secondary procurement contract for the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus."
"Let's go to the Witch's Kitchen. We can discuss the details in detail. The Witch's Kitchen has recently added a new dessert called [Pleasure Mille-feuille], which is a dessert made by collecting seven different kinds of happy emotions from mortals. It sells for 10 magic stones. Today, the senior will make an exception and treat you to it."
Zach looked at Angelou and Essie, nodded politely and distantly to them, and said hello.
Angelou and Essie looked at this scene with some surprise, and Angelou asked Locke in a low voice. "Locke, collective purchase? Has your work entered the academy's collective purchase? Is this the second academy collective purchase?"
Aisi also looked at Locke, feeling quite like everyone was working together at the beginning, but you secretly made a fortune.
You must know that in the beginning, Locke had to consult the two of them every day even on many questions about potions.
Neither of them expected that Locke was a real genius in the field of breeding, and even to them, he was a bit dazzling.
Locke nodded slightly and explained in a low voice to the two of them: "Well, it is a work of mine in the field of breeding, and it seems to have been valued by the academy."
"Then I will leave first, see you tomorrow."
Angelou and Essie belatedly said hello to Locke, and waited for Locke and Zach to leave.
Aisi smiled bitterly at Angel. "No wonder, Senior Angron came over to talk to Locke. It turns out that he is really a genius when it comes to breeders."
"Then why does he come to the Healing Hand Treatment Center to be a nobody? Wouldn't it be better to be a breeder?"
Angelou also showed a wry smile, and then he said: "Why do you think so much? At least, we are friends with a breeder genius."
"We are still a team in the Healing Hand Treatment Room, as long as you know this."
"This is only good for us."
Aisi smiled: "That's right."
"I really can't see that Locke, who is usually so easy to talk to in the office, is such a powerful breeder. Before, I thought he was just an ordinary breeder's assistant, and he has not even passed the breeder certificate."
…
In the witch's kitchen, Zach once again relied on the gourmet badge and ordered a bunch of dishes made by the condiment master, especially a delightful mille-feuille worth 10 magic stones.
Locke looked at a small and exquisite mille-feuille of seven colors, placed in the center of a very large white porcelain plate, and brought to him. Locke knew that Zach had something to ask of him this time.
Locke looked at Zach, "Senior, do you need my help with anything?"
Senior Zach was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "As expected of Locke, you are very sharp. It is true."
"The academy... ahem, cough, cough, and I, want you to maintain the production line of Crystal Palm Fire Lotus."
Locke frowned slightly. "Well, if there is an order from the academy, of course I will keep it, or even continue to expand."
"After all, the academy has recently granted me a small and medium-sized plantation."
"I can open another hundred acres of magic field. But if there is no order, I will definitely not be able to maintain it."
Zach looked a little embarrassed. "But here's the problem. The college's plan is to purchase another 2,000 Crystal Palm Fire Lotuses as a resource reserve and a reserve for the development of new spell platforms."
"But then, you still need to be able to maintain the production capacity of at least one hundred acres of Crystal Palm Fire Lotus, so that when the college needs to purchase, you can quickly supply it."
Locke frowned dissatisfied. "Senior Zach, you should know that this is impossible."
"I refuse. You know, Senior Zach, this violates the principle of fair trade. I also have a wizard mentor."
"I'm afraid that my wizard mentor will laugh at me when he hears about this."
Zach coughed awkwardly. He also felt that this was outrageous. This was just an outrageous request made by the senior college officials who were used to administrative work.
In the end, with such an outrageous request, he actually asked him to come over and ask tentatively.
But as the person in charge, he could only bite the bullet and want to try again. "Of course the higher-ups of the college have no intention of forcing you. If you don't want to do this, the college can't force you."
"Don't worry, this is just a small suggestion. Even if you reject it, it will not affect the order between the college and you, nor the subsequent cooperation."
Zach laughed and laughed, trying to appease Locke's dissatisfaction. "Just maintain the production line. You can also sell those Crystal Palm Fire Lotuses to the shops in the Chimera Market."
Hence "For example, my junior sister, the store manager Yuli."
Locke shook his head. "Then I only need to maintain 20 acres of magic fields that produce Crystal Palm Fire Lotus."
"This is enough for the purchase volume required by Chimera Market every month. Again, if you want me to retain my production capacity, you have to keep giving me orders."
"There is no need to spend money and I need to keep the production line." Locke explained: "Retaining the production line means that I have to invest resources in the one hundred acres of magic field every month."
"Maintain the magic field."
“The monthly rent for the weather controller is one thousand magic stones, of which the rent for the main body is only 500 magic stones, and the energy used by the equipment requires 500 magic stones. If only 20 acres of magic fields are maintained, the cost of using the weather controller is enough to reduce the consumption of 400 magic stones.”
“Secondly, magic plants are crops. If they are mature, they need to be harvested, otherwise the quality will be affected. Once harvested, they must be preserved, and preservation costs money.”
"I have to bear all these costs. There is no such thing." Locke said: "Forget it, there is also my personal time consumption. I spend at least two to three hours every day on the one hundred acres of magic field."
"Occasionally when there is a problem, I need to spend a whole day carefully directing the group of slaves and maintaining my plantation."
Locke took a sip of the Angelica tea, and then said: "So no matter which way you look at it, if the academy doesn't give me orders, I will have to close some magic fields."
"If you want me to maintain production capacity, you have to give me orders."
"And, I also need to develop a fourth magic plant."
Zach's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that Locke was still developing new magic plants. He knew that magic plants produced by a genius breeder like Locke must be of good quality, so his eyes lit up. Then he could only try to comfort Locke and calm him down.
This is one of my jobs as the person in charge of purchasing magic plants. My job is to serve outstanding breeder geniuses like you." Zac smiled and said, "This is a contract for 10,000 magic stones. I have brought 10,000 magic stones and can deliver it now."
"Junior, calm down, calm down. It's all because the administrative leaders above are ignorant... not professional at all. A layman guides an expert..."
