Chapter 118 Hiring Experimental Subjects

Next, Locke was busy at the Healing Hands Clinic all morning. After returning in the afternoon, he studied the Lesser Emerald Potion for three hours.

At night, Locke began to meditate using advanced meditation methods.

In order to seize the first month’s benefit period, Locke directly maxed out all his resources, took a bottle of Star Tears potion, used Four Seasons Fruit Core Fragrance, and Energy Potion, and meditated for a whole night.

As a result, his daily expenditure on magic stones has reached 400 magic stones, while his current savings are only 5,500 magic stones.

This was his original savings, plus the income from the plantation last month.

His current plantation can earn 3,700 magic stones every month.

According to this algorithm, Locke can last about thirteen days with all resources consumed, and then he will be out of money.

The output of the plantation this month will not be settled clearly with Li Jin Secret Language until the end of the month.

The cost of treating wizard apprentices at the clinic will also have to be settled at the end of the month.

So Locke actually fell into a temporary financial crisis.

If he continued like this, he would have to suspend the full use of the advanced meditation method and miss the one-month novice benefit period for using the advanced meditation method.

Alternatively, he could only sign a loan contract outside, but the interest rates for non-college loan contracts were generally frighteningly high, and the procedures for college loan contracts were very complicated.

In Locke’s residence.

Locke ordered three gray dwarves and two catwomen to clean his house, while taking a bite of the apple in his hand.

“This month-long benefit period for novices cannot be missed. Many first-class wizard apprentices missed it due to lack of money. As a result, they have to spend the next year, or even several years, to make up for the missed month of benefit period for novices.”

“Forget it, let’s just use all our resources to meditate every day. If we need money, we can talk to you later. I’m an assistant to the potion master and the breeder now, so I’m sure I can find a way to make money quickly.”

To be honest, he is no longer short of resources.

At least most of the first-class wizard apprentices without any background are likely to miss this one-month novice benefit period.

Or they may sign a high debt contract, which leads to a series of subsequent debt bankruptcies. As a result, they are trapped and suffer even greater losses, and can only work for others in vain.

Locke remembered that this morning when he was working, Aisi told him an interesting story. There was a wizard apprentice in Lilith’s cottage. He signed a loan sharking contract with someone out of carelessness. As a result, he failed to repay the loan on time and had to keep signing more loan sharking contracts.

The result is that we have entered a situation where we have to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall.

Later, when his credit was bankrupt and his repayment chain was completely broken, he was forced to sign a fifty-year labor slavery contract, working for others for free every day.

Locke felt that those who signed such contracts, although not slaves in name, were actually not much different from slaves.

Basically a debt slave.

In the white wizard society, once someone becomes a debt slave, it is basically social death. All social relationships will be severed and no one will be close to him anymore, like falling from heaven to the bottom of the valley.

Locke came back to his senses and continued meditating.

After one night, his mental power increased from 227 to 235. With all resources fully utilized and in the novice welfare period, his mental power increased by 8 points in one night.

The next day, Locke was full of energy, which was a side effect of taking the energy potion. He looked in the mirror and saw himself wearing a tight white wizard robe, with a perfect figure and slender body.

He adjusted his clothes and turned to open the door.

Today is the day he recruits second-class wizard apprentices and experimental subjects.

For the pharmacy to pass the process, it requires at least three third-class wizard apprentices, one second-class wizard apprentice, and one potion master’s assistant.

Only then can the process begin.

If he wanted to apply for his own pharmacy as soon as possible, he had to gather enough staff as soon as possible.

Locke has already brought over three students of Witch Sophia, who are also his three younger classmates, but he is still short of a second-class wizard apprentice.

Unfortunately, his friends Laun and Pierre are still third-class wizard apprentices.

Their advancement speed is the same as the advancement speed of most people in Lilith Hut Academy.

My speed is actually very rare, after all, I am the second in the same period.

The person who was faster than him was also an Elemental Son, the only Elemental Son among his peers.

Not every class of freshmen will include a Child of the Elements.

Wizard seedlings with the qualifications of Sons of Elements will be frantically sought after by all wizard organizations in the southeast corner. Sometimes, even in ten years, there may not be a single Son of Elements admitted.

Locke opened the door and saw Pierre standing outside.

Pierre seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time.

When Pierre saw Locke open the door, his eyes suddenly lit up. Then he looked at Locke with a guilty look and said, “Locke, I received your letter and came here. Will you really pay me 100 magic stones every month, which is more than what Senior Angron gives me?”

Locke nodded, then frowned in dissatisfaction. “Don’t be shy when you come to my place. Just knock on my door next time.”

“We are friends.”

Pierre was moved and asked, “Then Locke, is it safe for me to be your experimental subject?”

“I still have parents at home, and I don’t want them to hear the news of my death…”

Locke beckoned him to sit inside. “Don’t worry, if it’s unsafe, I won’t let you use it. I can honestly conduct animal experiments and human experiments first.”

“I’ve already confirmed the effectiveness of the potion I used on you. I just need to issue a report. Your low magic resistance is the most convincing.”

“Here, I’ll give you the pen. I won’t force you. If you refuse, I can find someone else.”

Locke placed the contract and pen in front of Pierre who was sitting on the sofa.

Pierre thought of the 100 magic stones and his relatively close relationship with Locke, and immediately picked up the quill. “Sign. I believe you, Locke.”

“That’s one hundred magic stones per month. I wonder how many magical resources I can buy.”

Pierre signed his name on the contract with a few quick strokes.

After he finished signing, Locke put the contract away and said, “Pierre, I’ll have my servant treat you to some delicious food. I have a simple interview coming up soon, so I won’t be entertaining you for now.”

Pierre said, “Oh oh oh… OK.”

At this time, outside Locke’s door, there were already some scattered second-class wizard apprentices standing.

They all received the recruitment information spread by Locke, so they came here to participate in the interview and join Locke’s newly created personal pharmaceutical laboratory.
