Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 100: Chapter 96 Research_2

“The primary function of fragrances is to soothe, calm, and relax the mind and spirit. Indeed, ladies often use them in everyday life.”

Serene Wizard nodded in agreement, “There is indeed a worthwhile market to be explored in this aspect, and our shop is indeed a bit short on ladies fragrances.”

After a pause, Serene Wizard asked, “How do you plan on proceeding? Will you conduct research independently or continue to develop cooperatively?”

The reason Serene Wizard asked this was not because she coveted the possible benefits of ladies’ fragrance, but because she needed to provide different forms of support depending on Link’s choice.

Did Wizard Palo send the talented individual he saw potential in to her for a part-time job? Was it merely a part-time job?

This was called cultivation!

Where does an ordinary wizard apprentice have the opportunity to carry out practical work in Potion Study and Alchemy Pharmacy one or two years ahead of time?

Link decisively replied: “I plan to start with independent research, and when I encounter insurmountable obstacles in the process, I will ask for assistance

from Serene Wizard.”

“That’s also good.”

Serene Wizard strongly agreed.

The “joint development” model of the Glasswort Aromatherapy Essential Oil last time was an exception.

At that time, Wizard Palo had two preparations.

If Antoine Hilton dared not respond to the challenge from Rives Francis, he

would send Link Grande into the field.

That’s why he gave Link Grande a chance to get a large amount of Magic Stones

in a short time.

This time, let the research get back on track.

Link couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

This was a carefully prepared trial.

You could count the ladies’ fragrances on sale in the shop at any time.

Why did he deliberately choose the morning when other staff members were not around, and when Serene Wizard could notice?

It was to attract Serene Wizard’s attention.

The conversation that ensued after the attention was drawn seemed simple,

but it was actually quite complex.

From Serene Wizard’s reply, Link confirmed one piece of information, and that was that there wouldn’t be something similar to the incident the night before last, requiring him to get involved anytime soon.

The promise to offer help twice within his capacity, which was agreed upon in exchange for the half-year right to use the laboratory, has already been written off.

Wizard Palo kept his word!

Why was this trial necessary?

In the end, whether Link admitted it or not, the mad Rives Francis had planted

a thorn in his heart.

That thorn was called “Distrust”, or “Suspicion .

Rives Francis, who had already lost half his sense and acted more out of instinct, knew that he had no chance of retaliating against Wizard Palo, The puppeteer behind the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, the Rodman, who was fishing with bait for fools like him and Antoine Hilton.

Like a drowning man sees a straw of life, he put all his hopes on Link Grande, who was talented in every aspect.

To embed that thorn deeper, Rives Francis did not hesitate to pay with his dying life.

An empty word is less impressive than a bloody death!

No matter what, he was doomed.

What if this thorn plays a role in the distant future?

That would be a big win!

Relieved, Link began to steadily advance his research.

He finished the preprocessing of plants and herbs in the morning, had lunch, and asked Serene Wizard to write a letter of introduction to borrow data, then went to Central City.

Among the many management institutions in Ravensmouth City, one is very unobtrusive, but of great importance.

That is Import and Export Management.

All the bills for goods entering and leaving Ravensmouth City via “Airport” and “Freight Station”, regardless of category, must be summarized and filed with Import and Export Management for reference.

Even the black market in the West District does the same, except for those real black goods leaking information which leads to a deadly disaster.

Without the introduction letter from Serene Wizard, Link would definitely be seized by the Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet if he dared to ask for relevant women’s fragrance import and export data in recent years.

With this introduction letter, Link easily obtained the data he wanted. Afterwards, without having the leisure to analyze the data, Link went through the Southern District into the West District.

He didn’t go deep into the West District. Instead, he strolled around the perimeter of the West District, hoping to find some easily controlled thugs to work for him.

Link’s luck has always been good, and he happened to run into the five street thugs from last time again.

“Come here.”

Link waved at the thugs who turned around and wanted to leave as soon as they saw him.

The fear that had been awakened made the thugs dare not go against Link’s will, even though they were on the peripheral outskirts of the West District, and not in its chaotic interior.

“Big… Brother, is there… something?”

The leader of the thugs hunched his back, half his neck pinched in retreat, fearfully asking in a trembling voice.

Link only needed one glance to understand what they were afraid of.

He adjusted the gold-framed glasses on his nose, smiled gracefully, and said in a comforting tone, “Don’t worry, I’ve got a good thing for you.”

At the end of his words, the thugs were even more terrified.

Oh no, the last time you said you meant no harm, not only did you scare the hell out of us, but you also made us help you kill someone.

Now you’re saying it’s good news, isn’t this going to be a massacre?

We’re just useless street thugs, please spare us.

The thug leader’s inner thoughts were tumultuous, but his response was sincere, “Brother, whatever it is, just hand it down to us.

“This is the deposit, there will be another portion after the job’s done.” Without saying a word, Link took out a bag that contained ten standard first-level magic stones and stuffed it into the thug boss’s hand, “I want to know all the potion shops in the East District and their offered ladies fragrances – the types, quantities, effects, prices, and their approximate monthly sales volume. Can you do it in three days?”

Pausing, Link emphasized, “Remember, these must be the special ladies fragrances that each potion store concocts themselves!”

The thugs, especially their leader, relieved a sigh after hearing him finish.

It’s a relief as long as it’s not murder.

That last incident had them on edge for quite some time.

Although during this time they had been prospering; they received ten magic stones from Link, and there were quite a few war spoils from the body, which earned them a lot of magic stones after being sold.

This time it’s just collecting information. This is easy, no problem.

The thug boss tightly gripped the bag of magic stones, asking, “Big brother, once we are done collecting the information, how should we give it to you?”

“East District, Serene Wizard’s Potion Shop.”

Now is not the same as two weeks ago, Link didn’t mind revealing some of his own information, stating as a matter of fact, “You can bring me the data after you’ve organized and copied it.”

“Shall we get going and prepare now?”

The thug leader asked tentatively.

“Go ahead.”

Link waved his hand, watching the thugs retreat into the West District, he also returned to the East.

Since there was a new project, and with new support from the Serene Wizard, borrowing a bit of the potion shop’s space seemed perfectly reasonable.

Upon returning to the potion shop, he entered the operating room.

Link took out his portable computer, and carefully analyzed the data he had “copied” from the customs office.

Especially the incoming goods data of Lucia’s Family Potion Shop’s ladies fragrances.

The data showed that the practical commercial fragrances primarily sold by the major potion shops in the four city districts all have one thing in common: they are practical.

But Link did not jump to conclusions nor did he hurry to set the direction for developing the fragrance.

Instead, he turned to reading the material and literature related to fragrances that he had “downloaded” from the advanced literature library.

When jasmine got off work in the evening, they returned to the academy together.

After a simple dinner, the two of them plunged into the laboratory to prepare for formal development.

Then, two calm days passed.

The thugs obviously took Link’s instructions to heart and delivered the data they had collected to Serene Wizard’s Potion Shop before noon on the third day.

Link happily paid an additional ten standard first-level magic stones.

A man of his word, when he said there’d be another portion after the job was done, there was indeed another portion.

The thugs left overjoyedly.

After reading the data, Link was both pleasantly surprised and felt slightly pressured.

Lucia’s Family Potion Shop was planning to hold a new product launch event soon, including a new series of fragrances.

He had both the time and target for his countermove.

The problem was whether Link and Jasmine could develop a high-quality fragrance product in time to compete with Lucia’s Family Potion Shop’s new fragrance products.

The bigger problem was whether they could win.

Link thought for a bit and felt that they should opt for differentiated competition.

Perhaps, instead of leaning too heavy on practicality, focusing on the fragrance, emphasizing the charm while ensuring its effects were not inferior to other fragrances?

Making money from women, one needs to consider fame and beauty, no?
