Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Establishing Upstream and Downstream Industrial Chains

The strange thing was that this time the academy did not provide him with a new alchemy hut for some reason, but instead gave him a pharmacy and alchemy hut that was mortgaged by a former first-class wizard apprentice.

In this way, his own pharmacy is no longer near Witch Sophia’s residence, but in a city on another mountain far away from the port city.

However, it is such a short distance that it is not a big deal to rent an Engel’s Spiral Snail mount at the Chimera Market, and the rental fee is not expensive.

In one month, you only need to pay 5 magic stones to obtain a long-term exclusive Engel’s Speed Snail.

“The academy seems to want me to interact more with people other than Witch Sophia.” Locke sat on the snail’s back and thought, “But this will cost me a lot of my time.”

The snail under him was climbing the mountain rocks quickly, and its soft tissue left a trail of transparent mucus on the rock wall. When the sunlight shone on the transparent mucus, the mucus automatically began to dissipate in just thirty seconds.

About twelve minutes later, Locke crossed a city and a mountain range from the vicinity of Witch Sophia’s residence and entered his own medicine room.

There are seven or eight similar pharmacies near this one.

It is normal for similar stores to gather together. After all, it is easier to attract partners who are ready to cooperate with the pharmacy.

Since Locke was still an unknown newcomer in potion science, his arrival did not attract anyone’s attention here.

Locke found his own pharmacy, and the second-class wizard apprentice he hired, Terry Calvin, had already arrived here.

She is overseeing the Chimera Market’s store renovation team as they transform Locke’s personal pharmacy.

At the same time, Locke’s three third-class wizard apprentices who were substituting for Witch Sophia were also in this personal pharmacy.

The two young female wizards, along with Leo Sith, saluted Locke simultaneously. “Senior Augustine, hello. We are here to help you rebuild your personal laboratory, following Senior Terri’s instructions.”

Locke glanced at them and nodded slightly.

Since he had been teaching them for some time, the three of them now respected him very much and almost regarded him as their half-wizard mentor.

Terry stepped forward and handed Locke the information. “Boss, there’s almost nothing left of this personal pharmacy, so all the equipment needs to be reinstalled.”

“We are now essentially rebuilding from scratch.”

“But don’t worry, I have experience in this area.”

Terry looked at Locke with admiration.

But even though Locke doesn’t even have a set of equipment now, the college’s top management actually approved this pharmaceutical room.

Not everyone can do this.

Terry had worked in Angron’s personal pharmacy, so she naturally had some knowledge in this area.

She knew that if the college did not attach great importance to Locke, it would be impossible to easily pass the review of Locke’s personal pharmacy under such circumstances.

Locke was not surprised that the house had to be renovated from scratch.

Since the previous owner owed a lot of money and had to mortgage the laboratory in the end, all the equipment inside the laboratory that could be dismantled and sold had probably been dismantled.

Locke asked, “Terry, how many magic stones do you estimate the modification will cost?”

Terri Calvin quickly took out two documents and handed them to Locke, saying respectfully, “Boss, if we go with the more expensive plan, the modification cost will reach 4,000 magic stones, which is the modification cost for a standard personal pharmacy.”

“The modification project includes various equipment for obtaining raw materials, equipment for refining potions, and equipment that should be in a pharmacy.”

Ty Lee frowned slightly at Locke and said quickly, “The other modification plan is more economical. We only need to install a set of potion-making equipment, a set of raw material extraction equipment, and then install a mass production equipment for potions. We only need to spend 1,500 magic stones to complete it. And the bulk of the cost is the mass production line for potions.”

“A mass-produced potion production line requires at least one potion master’s assistant, one second-class wizard apprentice, and three third-class wizard apprentices to run it. We can just about gather that number of people here.”

Ty Lee held the information in her hand and said to Locke, “Boss, I was previously in charge of external procurement for Senior Angron’s pharmacy, so I know which store has the best quality and most cost-effective equipment for mass potion production lines, so don’t worry.”

Locke nodded and returned the information to Terry. “Then let’s proceed with the 1500 magic stones plan.”

It is better not to invest too many resources in your own personal pharmacy in the early stage.

Too many first-class wizard apprentices went bankrupt because they invested too many resources in the early stages and were unable to make back the money later.

Although I have the cheat code to synthesize a Rubik’s Cube, to be on the safe side, I should just buy the most basic equipment first.

I haven’t made a name for myself in potions yet, so I might as well wait until I’m more confident and then open up a hundred acres of magic fields at once like a plantation, and rent expensive air controllers and radiation kettles.

This personal alchemy room currently only needs to have the technology to mass-produce advanced growth factor gel, advanced nutrient soil and advanced nutrient solution, as well as be able to produce memory ointment, conduct human experiments, and produce secondary emerald green potion.

This pharmacy can produce a large amount of high-grade fast-growing agent gel and other necessary items needed by breeders, which can save a lot of investment in the plantation.

Moreover, Locke has already thought about what to do with his fourth magic plant. Unlike the previous three, the fourth one is specially prepared for potion masters.

Or it is prepared for one’s own personal pharmacy.

The core ingredients of the Bear Bile Potion are Emerald Lichen and Bear Bile.

Emerald Lichen is a magical plant that is emerald green in color and naturally has various detoxifying effects.

Therefore, the fourth magic plant that I want to develop is the emerald lichen. I will use the emerald lichen to enhance the effect of the bear spirit bile potion, and then synthesize the bear spirit bile potion to further enhance the effect of the potion.

That is, to carry out synthesis once in two stages, one in the plantation and the other in the pharmaceutical room, is equivalent to synthesizing the final result twice.

In this way, he could let his plantation sell emerald lichen to the outside world, and the use range of the bear spirit bile potion was very wide, and it belonged to the category of basic potions.

There will be a lot of potion masters who will buy the synthetic magic plants they develop.

And he could also cooperate with those shops again to sell the enhanced bear spirit bile potion on the market and make a profit.

And improve the quality of the final Bear Spirit Bile Potion twice.

This has another advantage. After the Bear Spirit Bile Potion has been strengthened twice by myself, its ability to remove curses will be further enhanced. I think the people in the Blood Curse Court will be the ones who have the most headaches at that time.

When Locke thought of this, a slight smile appeared on his face. The people from the Blood Curse Court had provoked him twice in a row, which had already made him quite unhappy.

As a white wizard, revenge doesn’t necessarily require killing someone with your own hands. Sometimes, killing doesn’t need to be so direct, and it can be done without bloodshed.

As a talented breeder who will soon become a talented alchemist, he has plenty of ways to make the Blood Curse Court and Hussein pay the price they deserve.

Let them dance for a while now.

Similarly, doing so can further gain the attention of the college’s top management.

He had already experienced the benefits of the attention paid to him by the college’s top management.

The speed of passing the same review process is completely different if you do not pay attention to it and if you do!
