Chapter 23 Why Can't I?
Scorpio Mage Tower.
It was still a familiar scene, but this time, there were a few emissaries who had returned from the Twin Mage Towers. They stood by the side with their heads lowered, not moving at all, like stone sculptures.
"This is outrageous!"
Tucker slammed the table fiercely and the expensive table made of heavenly cloud wood instantly turned into a pile of debris.
However, Tucker was still not satisfied. He pointed at the group of messengers beside him and scolded loudly, "Trash! The Twin Mage Towers say that they are making money together, but what does he, Joss, think of us?"
"Producing spare parts?
"To put it nicely, we're making money together! But, what do other people think?
"They will say, Yo, the Scorpio Mage Tower, isn't that working for the Twin Towers? It is the Scorpio Mage Tower that produces phones for the Twin Mage Towers!"
Tucker was extremely angry, wishing that he could burn these messengers into ashes with a fireball spell.
Fortunately, Rhode was still there to persuade him.
"Tucker, there's no need to be so angry. Previously, we spent a lot of effort but were still unable to replicate the magic phone. Now, Joss was willing to give us the opportunity to process the parts. Although it was a little tedious, it was still profitable.
"When the time comes, we can lower our wages and earn more."
After hearing these words, Envis was unhappy.
He turned his face sideways, "Rhode, if you're willing to side Joss, then go ahead. We all belong to the 12 mage towers. Why is it that his Twin Mage Towers can reap the rewards while we have to work our lives to produce the parts for him?"
"Envis, what are you talking about?"
Rhode was also furious. "I'm doing this so that everyone can make money! It's not like you don't know how difficult it is to crack a magic phone.
"Moreover, even if we cracked the first version, there's still the second version.
"What about the third and fourth versions?
"According to the current speed of the Twin Mage Towers' magic phone's version update, we aren't able to compete with them. Instead of wasting a lot of time and money on this meaningless thing, it's better to take this opportunity to earn more money.
"When the time comes, the opportunity will be gone. You won't be able to earn anything even if you want to!"
After saying that, Rhode stood up and flung his loose mage robe. Without looking back, he opened a portal and left the Scorpio Mage Tower, leaving only Tucker and Envis.
"What an idiot!"
The two of them cursed at Rhode at the same time.
As for the rest of the matter, they could only discuss it together.
Without Rhode, the power to crack the magic phone was reduced by a bit.
In the end, Tucker and Envis came to an agreement to exchange messages. The two mage towers would work together to crack the magic phone. As long as there was any progress, they would share it with each other.
This was also something that they had no choice but to do.
It was also because they could not deny what Rhode said. It was too difficult to crack the magic communication phone, especially the magical secret patterns. It could be said that it was the work of a god.
Rhode was not clear about what happened after the Scorpio Mage Tower, so he did not have the mood to pay attention to it.
He had already returned to the Sagittarius Mage Tower and held a meeting.
After cutting the magic apprentices' pay for the parts by 50%, he smiled happily. He was very glad that he had the foresight. The processing of the parts could still earn a lot of money.
The Twin Mage Towers, on the other hand, was a different scene.
Thanks to the hot sales of magic phones, the Twin Mage Towers were called the magic communication towers by many mages. However, Joss did not like this title, however, this did not affect many young magic apprentices who came because of their fame or some ordinary teenagers who had just started to practice magic.
The Twin Mage Towers were constantly expanding.
These days, Charles had a gentle smile on his face every day.
However, there were still some troubles that could not be avoided.
"Sir."
After finding Joss' residence, it was still Vera who opened the door, with a hint of reluctance.
Joss was sitting on the sofa made of Crewe bear skin, enjoying Vera's massage in satisfaction, eating an ice crystal fruit, and asked, "Charles, what brings you here today?"
"Sir, it's not that I insisted on coming, but the magic apprentices of the Twin Mage Towers asked me to come." Charles smiled bitterly.
Then, he talked about the reason for his visit.
After the messenger returned, only the Sagittarius Mage Tower officially agreed to produce spare parts. Under Rhode's authority, the entire Sagittarius Mage Tower started to operate and produced a large number of spare parts.
The Sagittarius Mage Tower did not have a financial deficit like the Twin Mage Towers before and a large number of mages left.
It was an old but mature mage tower with powerful resources.
Due to this, the production capacity of the magic phone increased rapidly. At the very least, it could deal with some urgent orders.
Furthermore, the mages of the Twin Mage Towers were a little unhappy. This was obviously something they could do, but it was snatched away by the people of the Sagittarius Mage Tower.
"This is the whole story..."
After Charles finished explaining the reason, Joss pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn't you tell them clearly about the pros and cons? They're mages, not machines that only produce mobile phone parts in alchemy factories!"
"Sir, I swear, I told them."
Charles immediately promised and whispered, "Sir, this matter is actually related to you?"
"Oh?"
"How is it related to me?" Joss became interested.
Charles added, "The unit price given by our factory is too high. It's more than twice that of the Sagittarius Mage Tower. Moreover, there is a contribution reward from the Twin Towers, which caused the exchange of magic books in the Twin Towers Magic Library to soar."
Joss was stunned.
This really had something to do with him.
After all, that Rhode actually exploited the Sagittarius Tower's magic apprentices in such a way. This was something Joss had never expected.
Everything was afraid of comparison.
Many of the apprentices of the TwinTYowers were afraid that their orders would be snatched away by the Sagittarius Mage Tower's people. This was understandable.
After understanding, Joss did not know whether to laugh or cry.
After all, this reason was too strange.
No matter what, the low-end manufacturing industry of the Twin Mage Towers had to be transferred out. This was a long-term plan. Moreover, the current magic apprentices wanted to earn money and contribution points, so there was no lack of opportunities.
There was still a portion of the previously set goal that had not been completed.
Thinking of this, Joss immediately instructed, "Go and inform those magic apprentices that I'll go to the alchemy factory in the afternoon to arrange a new job for them. Moreover, the reward for this job will be even more generous. Oh right, remember to call Gray and Neil."
"Understood!"
Charles nodded and left immediately, preparing to pass on the news.
