Chapter 152

Chapter 152 Colleagues’ Shock

Because there was no way to solve the problem of the complex demonic plant curse on the patient for the time being, Locke and the other three could only put him aside and go to treat other first-class wizard apprentices who were cursed.

In the evening, Locke was about to leave the treatment center, but he met senior Zack on the way.

Locke waved to Zach. “Senior Zach, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Zach’s smile widened when he saw Locke. “I’m in such a hurry to find you, it must be something urgent. I want to discuss the secondary procurement contract for the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.”

“Let’s go to the Witch Kitchen. We can discuss the details. The Witch Kitchen recently launched a new dessert called [Joyful Mille-Feuille]. It’s made by collecting the joyful emotions of seven different mortals. It costs 10 magic stones a piece. I’ll make an exception and treat you to it today.”

Zack looked at Angel and Aisi, nodded politely and distantly to them, and greeted them.

Angelo and Aisi watched the scene in surprise. Angelo whispered to Locke, “Locke, collection? Your work was selected for the academy’s collection? Is this the second time the academy has collected it?”

Aisi also looked at Locke, feeling as if they were all workers together, but he secretly made a fortune.

You know, in the beginning, Locke even had to ask them many questions about potions every day.

Neither of them expected that Locke was a true genius in the field of breeding, and even a little dazzling to them.

Locke nodded slightly and explained to the two in a low voice: “Well, it’s a work of mine in the field of breeding, and it seems to have been valued by the college.”

“Then I’ll be leaving first. See you tomorrow.”

Angel and Aisi realized it later and said hello to Locke, waiting for Locke and Zack to leave.

Aisi gave Angron a wry smile. “No wonder Senior Angron came over to talk to Locke. It turns out he’s a real talent as a breeder.”

“Then why is he coming to the Healing Hands Clinic as a nobody? Wouldn’t it be better for him to just be a breeder?”

Angelo also gave a wry smile, then said, “Why think so much? At least we are friends with a breeder genius.”

“It’s good to know that we’re still a team in the Healing Hands treatment room.”

“It can only be good for us.”

Ai Xi smiled and said, “That’s true.”

“I never thought Locke, who’s so easy to talk to in the office, could be such a skilled breeder. I used to think he was just an ordinary breeder’s assistant, and he hadn’t even earned his breeder certificate yet.”

…

In the witch’s kitchen, Zack once again used the gourmet badge to order a bunch of dishes made by the seasoning chef, especially a plate of delightful mille-feuille worth 10 magic stones.

Locke looked at a small and exquisite seven-color mille-feuille that was placed in the center of a very large white porcelain plate and was brought to him. Locke knew that Zack came to ask him for something this time.

Locke looked at Zach, “Senior, is there anything you need my help with?”

Senior Zach was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “As expected of you, Locke, you are very perceptive. It is indeed true.”

“The academy… ahem, and I, want you to maintain the production line of the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.”

Locke frowned slightly. “Well, as long as there are orders from the academy, I will of course keep them, and even continue to expand them.”

“After all, the college recently granted me a small to medium-sized plantation.”

“I can open up another hundred acres of magical fields. But if there are no orders, I definitely won’t be able to maintain it.”

Zach’s face was a little embarrassed. “But that’s the problem. The academy plans to purchase another 2,000 Crystal Palm Fire Lotuses as a resource reserve and for developing new spell platforms.”

“But going forward, you’ll need to maintain a production capacity of at least one hundred acres of Crystal Palm Fire Lotus, so that when the academy needs to purchase, you can quickly supply it.”

Locke frowned in dissatisfaction. “Senior Zach, you should know that this is impossible.”

“I refuse. You know, Senior Zack, this goes against the principle of fair trade. I also have a wizard mentor.”

“I’m afraid my wizard mentor will laugh at me if he hears about this.”

Zach coughed awkwardly. He also felt that it was outrageous. This was just an outrageous request made by the college executives who were used to doing administrative work.

As a result, such an outrageous request actually required him to come over and ask tentatively.

But as the person in charge, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try again. “Of course, the academy’s leadership doesn’t mean to force you. If you don’t want to do this, the academy can’t force you.”

“Don’t worry, this is just a small suggestion. Even if you refuse, it will not affect the orders between the academy and you, as well as the subsequent cooperation.”

Zach chuckled, trying to appease Locke’s dissatisfaction. “It’s just about maintaining the production line. You can always sell those Crystal Palm Fire Lotuses to the shops in the Chimera Market.”

“For example, my schoolmate, Manager Yuli.”

Locke shook his head. “Then I only need to maintain 20 mu of magic fields to produce Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.”

“This is enough for the monthly purchase volume required by the Chimera Market. As I said before, if you want me to maintain my production capacity, you must continue to give me orders.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to spend money, but I still have to keep the production line.” Locke explained: “Keeping the production line means that I have to invest resources into this 100-acre magic field every month.”

“Maintaining the magic fields.”

“The monthly rental for the weather controller is one thousand magic stones. The rental of the main unit is only 500 magic stones, and the energy required to operate the device is 500 magic stones. If I only maintain 20 acres of magic fields, the cost of using the weather controller will be enough to reduce the consumption by 400 magic stones.”

“Secondly, magic plants are crops. Once they’re ripe, they need to be harvested, otherwise their quality will be affected. Once harvested, they need to be preserved, and preservation costs money.”

“I have to bear all these costs. There’s no such thing.” Locke said, “Forget about those. There’s also my personal time consumption. I have to spend at least two to three hours every day on that 100-acre magic field.”

“Occasionally, when problems arise, I need to spend a whole day carefully directing the slaves and maintaining my plantation.”

Locke took a sip of his Anglian-Anglian tea and said, “So no matter how you look at it, if the academy doesn’t give me orders, I’ll have no choice but to close some magic fields.”

“If you want me to maintain my production capacity, you have to give me orders.”

“Also, I need to develop a fourth magic plant.”

When Zack heard that Locke was still developing new magic plants, his eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that the magic plants produced by a genius breeder like Locke must be of high quality, so his eyes lit up. Then he could only try his best to comfort Locke and calm him down.

“Yes, yes, it’s the senior who doesn’t understand things.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t force you to do this.” Zach smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will help you solve these little problems.”

“This is part of my job as the person in charge of purchasing magical plants. My job is to serve outstanding breeder geniuses like you.”

Zach smiled and said, “This is a contract for 10,000 magic stones. I have brought 10,000 magic stones and can deliver them now.”

“Junior, calm down, calm down. It’s all because of the ignorant administrative leaders above… They’re not professional at all, amateurs guiding professionals…”
