Li Xiang is testing the Quick Equip Wand Device, which is a project that Li Xiang has been following up recently, and the preliminary test shows that the effect of Quickly Equipping the Wand Device is very good.

"Tricks?" Draco gave a look of envy, "Can every wizard use it?" Draco asked, pondering, according to his relationship with Li Xiang, he should be able to get one, right?

Li Xiang knew Draco's thoughts as soon as he saw Draco's expression, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry! The magic set works with the vast majority of wizards. As long as the wand is used, it is not an outlandish shape, and it can be compatible with the magic sleeve. ”

For example, the wand used by a grumpy Death Eater lady is actually crooked and quite large. For that kind of alien wand, Li Xiang could do nothing but complain?

Do you have to change the design of the quick-equip wand device?

Don't overthink it!

For a very small number of cases, the price paid for a more perfect design is too huge for Li Xiang to do so.

"Oh!" Draco was overjoyed and asked, "What about the cost of this magic set?" ”

Li thought about it, the cost of quickly equipping the wand device was roughly divided into three parts:

First, the design cost, including the shape, structure, material selection, function, etc., of the quick wand device, is included in the design cost. However, it is an intangible cost, and there is no clear cost amount, but it is real.

For example, from the first original version of the quick equipping wand device to the current beta version, Li Xiang has made a total of more than twenty versions.

Second, the cost of knowledge, the quick wand device applies the relevant knowledge of alchemy and the Holy Light Magier, so as to achieve a stable and fast wand ejection function, as well as a wand recovery function.

These two functions are fully enabled by the Quick Equip Wand Device, which is equivalent to two wandless spellcasters. In particular, the wand recovery function allows you to return directly to the wand device for quick equipping as long as the wand is in your hand.

At the same time, Li Xiang achieved one of the most important functions for the quick equipping of the wand device through alchemy: mental connection control, which is the core function of the entire quick equipping wand device.

Without this feature, how can you control the quick equipping wand device, ejecting the wand, and retrieving the wand? Only through the mind control scheme can you quickly equip the wand device, which will pop the wand within two seconds, and put the wizard into combat mode.

Otherwise, through other means of control, is it so fast?

The cost of knowledge, like the cost of design, is an intangible cost, and there is no way to calculate exactly how much. If you have to think about it, the cost of knowledge is invaluable. Because, apart from Li Xiang, there is simply no one else in the entire wizarding world who can design a wand device to quickly equip it.

The last cost is the cost in the conventional sense, that is, the visible cost of the combination of material cost and labor cost. Normally, the cost that ordinary people are concerned about is only this cost.

Of course, in the wizarding world, advertising costs are almost non-existent!

Li Xiang thought about it for a moment before responding, "The main material of the magic set is composed of the vine of life, and the vine of life required for each magic set was about 20 gold galleons before. ”

Li Xiang paused for a moment and said with a smile, "However, at present, our Golden Griffin Family has purchased the Vine of Life in large quantities, causing the price of the Vine of Life to double. So, the cost will go up a bit. ”

"One of the core components of the magic set needs some moonlight green copper. However, the amount required is not much, and it should not stir up the market supply and demand. At current prices, it will cost about 70 gold galleons. Li Xiang explained that moonlight green copper is the material for making the core of mind control, which is mainly used to communicate mental power.

"In addition, you also need magic silk grass, the amount required is still very small, about 10 gold gallons can be done." Li Xiang said another material, the magic silk grass is a special herbaceous plant, it can conduct magic power.

Although there are many, many materials that can transmit magic power, Li Xiang has only discovered the magic grass, which can steadily and calmly extract magic power from the wizard's body and inject it into the quick equipment wand device, so that the functions of ejecting the wand and retrieving the wand can take effect.

"In the end, I had to make it myself. The production time of each magic set is about 60 hours. This part of the production cost, I converted it into 100 gold gallons. Li Xiang explained.

Perhaps 60 hours of work, converted to 100 gold galleons, seems like a lot of money. But in reality, 60 hours is an effective working time, not a casual and perfunctory task.

If you work five hours a day, it would take 12 days to meet the production time of 60 man-hours. For a technical wizard, even if you work 10 hours a day, six days in a row, and get 100 gold Galleons, it is not too high a salary.

Of course, the so-called 60 hours of man-hours is definitely Li Xiang's nonsense, and the real production process does not take that long. Especially with the help of magic, I'm afraid that after becoming proficient, the real working hours will not exceed 5 hours.

Draco made a comprehensive calculation, "If you take into account the increase in the price of raw materials, the cost of making each magic set is about 200 gold gallons to 250 gold gallons?" ”

Li Xiang nodded first, then shook his head, "You can say that, but you can't calculate it like this." ”

Draco looked puzzled, "How should that be calculated?" ”

"Because the process of making a magic set is very complicated, the success rate of making a magic set is not high." Li Xiang said as he took off the Quick Equipment Wand device and handed it to Draco, motioning for Draco to take a closer look at it first. "Look at the magic patterns on it, they all have special meanings, they ensure the quick ejection and recovery of the wand."

Draco looked closely, and on the slender vine of life, there were indeed many mysterious magic patterns carved on it, and Draco naturally didn't know what they meant.

"At the moment, even if I make the magic set myself, the success rate will not exceed 50%. The magic set you are looking at now, I made three, and I succeeded in this one. Li Xiang exaggerated that the actual success rate exceeded 80 percent, and even if it failed, the most expensive moonshine green copper could still be recycled, and only the vine of life would be wasted.

As for the Magic Grass?

That thing was the final process, and by the time the magic grass was implanted, there was no chance of failure. However, even if he had a good relationship with Draco, Li Xiang was not prepared to tell the truth.

After all, Li Xiang was ready to quickly equip the wand device as the fist product of the Golden Griffin family. Hehe, don't think that the Quick Equip Wand Device is the same as the Wand, it is an ultra-durable item, and in Li Xiang's design, it has a shelf life of only three years.

Three years later?

Buy another one, of course!

Draco swallowed and asked hesitantly, "Aven, will it show up at the Borginbock Magic Shop, and if so, at what price?" ”
