The main hall of the Arcane Research Society.

Zhou Qingfeng beckoned to Lorraine, and the short-haired girl stepped forward. She changed into a set of women's clothes, but her thin figure could not support her clothes, and her face was not pretty. She is used to men's clothing, and she feels awkward everywhere.

Behind Lorraine were dozens of children of different ages, both men and women, filling the main hall. Jason took a few steps slowly and said in a deep voice, "These children were randomly selected by me and a few friends among the outcasts outside the city.

We don't think much about qualifications, it's basically random picking. None of them are in good physical condition and basically have various diseases. Except for a few who were seriously ill and treated with holy water, the others only changed their clothes and filled their stomachs. ”

Jason stepped back.

Zhou Qingfeng said to Lorraine with a child: "Eve. Lorraine, do you want to be a wizard? ”

Lorraine's eyes widened, and she stayed where she was, not knowing what to say. She only thought that she was following her master to take care of the children, and never thought about the question of 'wizard'. Her dream is only to have a comfortable home with food and clothing, and everything else is beyond her imagination.

The people at the venue finally got a little interested and paid attention.

"Drink it." Zhou Qingfeng took a potion bottle from the table.

Lorraine was stunned and asked in a low voice, "Master, what is this?" ”

"Fox Cunning, a temporary intelligence booster." Zhou Qingfeng turned around and said to the others in the venue: "Every wizard will feel that his brain is not enough,......

"I won't." Suddenly, someone interrupted the conversation, and deliberately walked out of the crowd, with a cold gaze and a slight mockery. He stared at Zhou Qingfeng, who was holding the potion, like a monkey watching a circus. "High-purity pharmaceuticals are not an uncommon commodity."

"Who is this idiot?" Zhou Qingfeng did not show weakness, turned his head and asked Jason.

"Lehman's in the city." Jason replied expressionlessly, "Victor, don't expect everyone here to like you. Go ahead, as long as your potion is good enough, he will regret his recklessness. ”

"That's right." Zhou Qingfeng remembered that mocking face, and handed the potion to Lorraine again, "Drink it, you will feel what is called an explosion of thoughts." ”

Lorraine took the flask and poured it into her mouth. For the next few minutes, she seemed unresponsive. The wizards at the scene stared at her silently and did not speak. But over time, things started to change.

Lorraine felt her hearing sharpen and hear whispers. But if you listen carefully, the whole venue is silent. She was puzzled, her mind suddenly began to speed up, and the memories in her mind kept flashing like a picture scroll.

Happiness, sadness, anger, horror, fragments of life come back to life, and every bit of detail is vivid. Lorraine turned to a state of extreme confusion, she didn't understand and didn't understand what was going on with her, until she ......

Zhou Qingfeng handed over another bottle of medicine, "Lorraine, stabilize your emotions, drink this, and calm down." You will sink into the void and let your mind connect to an invisible but pervasive web, the world of magic. ”

Lorraine obediently drank the second bottle of the potion, and the thoughts in her head became clear and translucent. It was as if her soul had left her body, and she could see her eyes closed and her body limp, as if she were asleep.

At the same time, two of the Society's attendants also handed out potions to the children in the main hall. Each person takes two sips. After a few minutes, most of them also entered deep meditation like Lorraine.

At this moment, the wizards and apprentices in the venue finally stared at Lorraine seriously. Some people frowned, some people had bright eyes, and some people were terrified. Because with just two bottles of potion, the girl entered a state of soul freedom.

It is also difficult for a formal wizard to enter this ethereal state in a matter of minutes. It's either the potion works too well, or the girl's qualifications are too good, or both. Even the sorcerer who had just been sarcastic frowned slightly.

The essence of arcane art is the link between the soul and the magic web. The magic web is the essence of the goddess of magic. To link the web is to stir the goddess and let her give you power. Just like a terminal wants to access a server, its own computing power and bandwidth are the key.

'Fox Cunning' boosts your intelligence, giving you access to more higher-level abilities and permissions in your link to the Goddess. Meditation potions are equivalent to increasing bandwidth, allowing you to focus more in less time.

The most basic point of training an apprentice is to learn how to enter a meditative state naturally and maintain it for a long enough time without the aid of any external force or potions. This is a qualification assessment and a necessary condition.

Many talented and intelligent people just can't meditate, and no matter how smart they are, they can only mix up the work of a scribe; Some people easily enter meditation, but they do not have enough wisdom to understand the magic web, and at most they cheat money everywhere and become a god.

For wizards, this kind of qualification assessment is extremely cruel. Because they themselves stand at the top of society, but every step forward is extremely difficult. Or they may be satisfied themselves, but their children may not be able to maintain the family business.

Many Grand Arcanists are famous all over the world, but their descendants are unknown.

Therefore, mystical professions such as wizards tend to focus on the theory of blood, and only marry within a certain circle, as much as possible to ensure that their offspring also have arcane talents.

Under the cruel competition, the medicine that can improve the qualification is particularly important. Even a short boost is valuable.

Dozens of children lay peacefully on the floor.

The wizards who had been watching gathered around in unison. They checked the effects of the children's drug tests, analyzed their links to the magic web with arcane vision, and even examined their bodies to verify their qualifications.

High-purity drugs are not absent, but they can be small in quantity, high in price, and have no market. Wizards can accept potions that are not as effective, but they must not have side effects.

After all, if you buy an inferior potion refined by a novice in order to save some gold coins, it will not only make people dizzy, but may also turn people into idiots. It's too much to lose.

This highlights an important product metric – consistency.

Alchemists are considered to be handicraft operations, and most of the effects of the potions produced are metaphysical, sometimes high and sometimes low. This is too distressing for wizards.

Zhou Qingfeng's solution to this problem is very simple, batch testing. Dozens of randomly brought children took the medicine at the same time, which not only showed the effect of the medicine, but also reflected the consistency of the effect.

The results of the test were surprisingly good.

According to the experience of wizards, nine out of ten children are not qualified to learn arcane arts, and their qualifications are too poor. But they did very well after taking the medicine.

After checking on more than a dozen children in a row, a wizard apprentice hurriedly ran to Zhou Qingfeng and asked, "Your Excellency Hugo, how do you sell your potion?" ”

"Meditation potion, ten gold coins a bottle." The fox's cunning' twenty-five gold coins in a bottle. Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the table full of tin bottles.

Everyone present was surprised, and their hearts were pounding. These dozens of children's potion consistency experiments cost nearly 2,000 gold coins. This is still the number after the discount, and the original price is more than 5,000 gold coins.

The pharmaceutical industry is really a money-burning game.

"What's the difference between this and the potion sold by His Excellency Fabro, the 'Chief of Alchemy'?" The apprentice wizard felt his heart beat faster when he heard the price of the potion, and hurriedly asked again.

"The effect is the same, I'm selling for a third of Fabro's. The only restriction is that if you want to buy from me at a low price, you must be a member of my 'Harmony Chamber of Commerce'. A monthly membership fee of 50 gold coins is due. ”

Do I need to pay a fee to join the club to enjoy the discount? It's really not so easy to take advantage of. The wizard apprentice hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Your Excellency Hugo, what is your membership system?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng smiled, "Our membership system focuses on spelling discounts, and I named it 'Pinduoduo'." The more you fight, the more you offer. Membership members are guaranteed to never lose money. ”

Jason, who was not far away, took a sip of the drink in his hand and hid the embarrassment on his face - Victor. Hugo, this guy is starting to paint the pie pit man again.
