Chương 24: Mass-Producing Potion Method!
Biên tập viên: EndlessFantasy Translation
The night passed just like that...
Marcus headed to Ken's house again during the day.
Ken was not making potions. He was sighing and worrying instead.
"What's wrong, Ken?" Marcus was puzzled. "Are you worried about how to make potions?"
"Yes." Ken nodded and said, "I'm thinking about how to recruit pharmacists to work for us."
"I see." Marcus suddenly thought of the golem-creating book Sonny had given him last night. He took it out and said, "I have a good idea. Let's learn to create golems."
"You actually have this book?" Ken's eyes suddenly lit up but then dimmed. "Even so, it's very difficult to learn this kind of magic. Have you learned it?"
"No," Marcus said honestly. "I got it from Sonny yesterday."
"What should we do?" Ken was a little agitated.
"No worries. Give me half a day," Marcus said confidently after reading the magic book for a while.
"Back then, mages used their golems to increase their performance to 300%.
"As for me, using my own modified golems to increase the potion-making speed by 500% won't be a problem!"
"Hehe, keep bragging." Ken smiled. "I know you are a genius, but in the whole world, which genius can learn to make golems in half a day? I'm afraid not a single one?"
Marcus didn't say anything. He turned around and went out to start making golems.
At noon...
"Young Master Marcus, do you need us to help you?" the servants around him asked kindly.
"No need. You can just throw that piece of wood here."
After making all the necessary preparations, Marcus exhaled and began to chant.
A few powerful wind blades flew toward the piece of wood.
Just as the servants were staring blankly, the wind blades brushed past a few leaves and actually cut them!
Immediately after, it was the piece of wood's turn. Soon, the wind blades sliced the piece of wood, giving it the shape of a book.
"Everything is ready."
Marcus once again channeled his magic power as the magic book instructed.
The surroundings were frighteningly quiet, and the servants, who were watching from afar, did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Did he fail?" asked one of the servants.
Suddenly, the wind blew!
All sorts of wooden items seemed to come alive and automatically assembled.
"Oh my God, they're alive! The wooden items are alive!" exclaimed a few servants.
"God is showing his might!" claimed another servant.
The rest of the servants started showering praises one after the other.
Surprisingly, a giant suddenly appeared in everyone's sight!
[Congratulations, host. You have learned the Golem Technique!]
[Golem Technique: Level-1, Current progress: 20%!]
...
"It's almost afternoon." After spending a long time making three bottles of potions, Ken decided to head where Marcus was conducting experiments.
A giant suddenly appeared at Ken's door.
"Eh?" Ken was suddenly frightened and collapsed on the ground. He said shakily, "Goodness! Why would a giant appear at my door!? I haven't done anything bad, don't punish me!"
"Hey." Marcus suddenly appeared from behind the wooden giant and smiled. "Why are you so afraid of a wooden man?"
"I was just afraid that it would trample my house." Ken stood up and wiped his sweat.
"Well, how is it, Mr. Ken?" asked Marcus. "I've made it."
"What a genius..." Ken sighed sincerely. "But this is too big. I don't think it can assist us, right?"
"Indeed." Marcus nodded. "Mr. Ken, do you believe me?"
"Believe what?"
"When I say that I can master it in a week."
"Hehe, I believe you." Ken then said, "Mr. Marcus, can I read your magic book tonight... I want to learn too."
"Sure," replied Marcus.
Since Ken wanted to learn, it was naturally a good thing. It saved a lot of teaching time. After all, Marcus was not an idle person.
Moreover, Ken was also a genius. It was impossible for him to say that he could not learn.
Ken skimmed through Marcus' magic book for a while before smiling. "You said that you could master it in a week? Then do you believe me when I say that I can master it in three days? Why don't we make a bet? After a week, we'll see whose golem can make the best potion!"
"If I lose, I'm willing to teach you the medicinal skills that I've learned in my lifetime!"
"It's on!" Marcus suddenly said, "If I lose, I promise to teach you one of my spells."
"See you in a week!"
The two of them said in unison again.
At present, at the Andersons' estate...
When Nele's father handed Marcus's photo to Nele, he smiled and said, "Daughter, what do you think of this young man?"
Marcus was wearing a purple magic robe in the photo. His expression was slightly serious, and he looked very heroic.
Nele did not take the photo. She shook her head and said, "Father, I don't like this type of person. I heard from others that he became a senior this year. He's only a level-1 advanced mage. Even if he's very diligent, he'll only become a level-2 advanced mage. It'll probably be hard for him to break through to become a grand mage in the future. How are you going to let your daughter marry him?"
Her mother added, "But, have you heard? He killed a few dark mages..."
"So what?" Nele looked indifferent. "I've killed magic beasts and dark mages before."
Nele's father waved his hand helplessly and told the servants to leave.
Only Nele and her parents were left in the living room.
Nele's father said, "Daughter, you know how difficult it is for your father to be a businessman. I have to look at other people's faces all day long. Now, it's even more difficult than before..."
Her mother continued in his stead. "Yes, it's chaotic everywhere now. It's either magic beasts eating people or black mages committing atrocities. If our daughters didn't marry the strong, our Anderson family wouldn't have been so glorious. In this small Black Mountain City, it's already not bad for us to befriend a genius like Marcus. Although Marcus is the sole member of his family, his backer is Leicester Bud."
It seemed that Nele's parents hadn't chosen their son-in-law blindly. They had evidently made their decision after careful consideration.
"Sigh... Father, Mother, of course, I know about your difficulties. That's why I paid attention to befriend some handsome geniuses in the academy.
"After I became a core student, I befriended Senior Tony. He is now a level-4 advanced mage. I reckon that it won't be long before he becomes a level-5 mage!
"Furthermore, his family has an investment relationship with the Green Bridge Academy. His family had once given birth to a grand mage!
"Senior Tony is interested in me, and I think he'll come and propose to me soon. He is better than this Marcus in every aspect.
"Also, isn't this Marcus' backer someone who started off by selling fish? My senior started from selling potions! Isn't that a few hundred times better than them?
"If Father is really afraid of dark mages or bandits, then I'll tell Senior Tony. If he makes a move, blood will definitely flow like a river!"
Nele's eyes were filled with worship.
Nele's father's eyes also lit up.
It seemed like sending his daughter to the Green Bridge Academy was the correct choice!
"Then, Marcus, this young man..."
"Father, just say that I've seen his photo and checked his background, and I don't think it's suitable. They'll naturally understand."
"Yeah, that's the only way..."
