Chapter 162: The Cheating Big Mouth
"Have you picked out the gift?"
Jasmine knew this.
Asked immediately after Wizard Serin's hover car drove away.
"Not yet."
Link shook his head.
To be honest, he really didn't know what to give.
The gift shouldn't be too cheap, but it doesn't need to be too expensive either. It just needs to show your sincerity.
It's really hard to decide.
There wasn't much time left for him.
The Paro Wizard's Sage Promotion Ceremony will be held on next Friday night.
It was held in an auditorium inside the college, and not many people were invited.
Except for a few friends, the others are all official wizards from the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association", such as Tina, Salia, Ella, and Wizard Loken who Link is familiar with.
Link is the only wizard apprentice.
This is a great respect, a great honor, and a great pressure.
It was widely rumored in private that Link had the special favor of the Paro wizard, like an illegitimate son, more than an investment object.
For Link, it actually has no impact.
At most, I just heard a few sarcastic remarks.
It may not reach Link's ears yet.
After the viewing ceremony is over, the situation will change dramatically.
Link will be re-examined by many people, the level of attention will be increased, and the intensity of research will be increased.
His every word and action will be deliberately magnified and analyzed carefully.
Trying to figure out why a small first-year wizard apprentice is so valued and favored by Wizard Paro.
Whenever Link thinks about this, his scalp can't help but tingle.
But he had to go.
Headache.
Jasmine gave a suggestion: "Perhaps you can ask about Wizard Paro's hobbies when he was young."
"What were your hobbies when you were young?"
Link heard this, thoughtfully.
"Well, you can think about it slowly, and I won't disturb your thinking."
Jasmine left a sentence and turned to go upstairs.
She wanted to study how to develop a figure as plump and proud as Wizard Seren.
Maybe Link didn't realize it himself, but he preferred the charming Yu Jie who had a curved front and a curved back.
This made Jasmine, who had been observing Link, secretly feel a little sad.
How many years will she have to grow up to become a royal sister like Wizard Seren?
If Link knew Jasmine's thoughts, he would definitely scold her and fall into evil ways.
How could he be so narrow-minded?
Link thought for a while and returned to the laboratory on the fifth floor without coming up with any clues.
After the research and development work is completed, it needs to be summarized.
By the way, prepare some handouts, and use this research and development to teach Jasmine, the friends group and the social terror group about the wizarding world's research system, common methods, "paper" format and writing experience, "patent" regulations and application, authorization, and transfer .
As well as some advanced knowledge of botany, runes, pharmacies, and alchemical pharmacies.
With Link's rapid growth, one assistant is obviously not enough. The more, the better.
But the tool man (crossed out)/assistant will not fall from the sky, or become famous, and worship him immediately. Link can only train him himself.
The Brotherhood Group and the Social Terrorism Group had just taken less than half a day off when they were caught back and had to attend classes for a day and a half.
This Saturday goes by like this.
Wizard Seren moved quickly.
The next day after getting the information and samples, which was Sunday, the sublimation of five products with a total of 25 models was completed.
Link had just completed the "patent" authorization, and detailed instructions on the pharmacy and alchemical pharmacy knowledge and techniques used for sublimation had been sent over.
He also gave away magic stones and knowledge. Wizard Seren's kindness to Link was not small.
Link silently remembered it in his heart.
I will repay you later.
What you need to do now is to choose a suitable gift.
There were only five days left to prepare, and Link still hadn't decided what to give.
"Boss, I'm here to help you out."
Buck chuckled and came over, looking like he was asking for credit.
"How do you say it?"
Link asked curiously, becoming interested.
"Boss, look, what did we find?"
Buck took out his portable brain as if offering a treasure and handed it to Link to see.
"Oh haha."
Link took the portable smart computer, browsed it for a while, and exclaimed.
The group of friends really discovered something extraordinary.
I saw a long-ago page of the college's "official website" displayed on the brain screen. On it was the heroic figure of the Paro wizard who "won" the first place in the first-year two-district competition.
If you look closely, you will see that the format of the two-district competition was an arena battle.
The Paro Wizards captured the flag all the way to the finals, where they faced Peter Lionel.
The two fought fiercely for a long time, and finally exhausted their mental strength and magic power, and actually started to fight with each other.
You kick, I punch, we roll and fight.
With a "monkey stealing peach", the Paro wizard knocked Peter Lionel to the ground, rode up on him, raised his fist as big as a sand bowl, and beat Peter Lionel until stars appeared in his eyes. Reluctantly admitting defeat.
After browsing the "heroic appearance" of Paro Wizard, Link was instantly inspired.
He knew what gift to give, which would not cost too much magic stones and would show his sincerity.
"Thank you, Buck!"
Link returned the portable smart phone to Buck, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said happily, "You guys have helped me a lot." When the
words fell, Link didn't care how surprised the expression on Buck's face was. He went into the small office he shared with Jasmine.
One operation took more than half an hour.
Link walked out of the small office with a glowing face.
Behind him was Jasmine, whose face was also slightly flushed.
"You are so awesome!"
As she walked, Jasmine praised, and her eyes could pull out tears when she looked into Link's eyes.
"Average, average."
Link suddenly became interested and joked with Jasmine a few times.
The Friends Group and the Social Terrorism Group, who were staying in the living/working area to study Link's lecture notes, were dumbfounded when they saw the appearance of the two of them.
It's broad daylight, this is it.
Boss, sister, can you stop playing so big?
Link glanced at the brothers who were smiling broadly, and shook his head speechlessly.
Then he left the laboratory and headed towards the living service building.
If they dance like this, someone will take care of them.
"Come on, let's go practice witchcraft today."
Jasmine had been exposed to so many nobles who were addicted to lust since she was a child. How could she not understand the eyes of her friends and immediately use her special skills?
"No, eldest sister."
"Spare my life!"
The group of friends suddenly wailed. Jasmine didn't care about this. She showed off her eldest sister's authority and forced the group of friends to enter the witchcraft area for actual combat drills.
When Link walked to the life service building.
Buck, who had the most obvious and most obscene smile, had a pig-headed face and was in agony.
Facts have proved that young women must not be messed with.
Especially a little girl with strong fists and kicks!
Dijie laughed inappropriately because he saw Buck's miserable condition, and the second one was dragged away by Jasmine for a practical drill.
Link had already walked into a small shop specializing in various types of dolls.
"What do you need?"
The boss, whose business was bleak and could only browse the "forum" to relieve his boredom, immediately came up to him and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, I would like to order a set of dolls."
Link replied politely.
Anyone who can open a shop in a living service building is not a simple person.
A shop like this that relies on the "craftsmanship" of the shop owner to support its product supply, no matter how inconspicuous the appearance is, or how small, shabby, or rotten on the inside, cannot be underestimated.
Who knows if he will meet another Cody wizard who returns to the academy to "retire"?
"Customized dolls? What are your requirements? What price can you give?"
The boss suddenly became interested.
If I can win this order, I'll have money for today's drinks...right?
"Half a meter high, it can store the light and shadow images, body postures and movements of witchcraft, and then display the corresponding stored content according to instructions."
Link informed his boss of his idea.
As he said this, he felt that it was not very vivid to do so, so he thought about it and used the secondary fog and rain technique to simulate it intuitively.
A popular explanation is that it is actually a pre-programmed robot, which can then demonstrate the witchcraft effect light and shadow pictures, body postures and movements of the corresponding segments according to instructions issued by voice, gestures, mental power/magic power, etc.
"This form, I understand, it's no problem at all."
The boss rubbed his fingers, "As long as you have enough magic stones, it's not impossible to enchant it with witchcraft directly." If we
really can make this doll, They are comparable to level 1 or even level 2 witchcraft.
Cool can be really cool.
There is nothing better than a Gundam model or miniature Gundam that can move, run, punch, and slash.
But how high the cost is!
Link was not swayed by the temptation and said directly: "The cap is 300 pieces of standard first-level magic stones. Boss, please do it better for me." With that, Link
will download from the academy's "official website" and edit it. The "highlight collection" video of Wizard Luo's two-district competition was sent to the public brain in the store.
"Oh, Paro. Isn't this the 'highlights' of that guy Paro who cleared all the levels and won first place?"
The boss came over to take a look and exclaimed.
The look in Link's eyes became surprised, and he sighed and said:
"So you are the only wizard apprentice invited to Paro's Sage Promotion Ceremony. Is this a gift for Paro? You spent a lot of thought on it. , not only is the form novel, but it also plays into the heart of that guy from Paro."
When Link heard this, especially the boss's name for the Paro wizard, he knew that he had really met a big boss.
Fortunately, he maintained a very upright attitude from beginning to end, neither humble nor arrogant, so he did not risk offending this unknown boss.
After thinking about it, Link asked, "Please help me keep it a secret. This doll is just a novelty, there is nothing special about it." "Don't worry, I'm very strict with my
mouth."
The boss made a sign on his mouth. The sewing action, "will never be leaked."
"Thank you, boss."
Link took out two boxes from his pocket and handed them over, "According to your rules, here is the deposit, 100 magic stones." "
That's easy to say. , I'm not in a hurry to give it to you."
The boss smiled generously, took the box, opened it one by one, took a look, and quickly verified the number.
Then hug it tightly to your chest.
"Sorry to trouble you,"
Link said in a calm tone, as if he didn't see this scene affecting the boss's image, "I'll pick it up next Thursday?"
"Okay, you can just come and get it when the time comes."
The boss rubbed the box filled with magic stones with both hands. He didn't care about Link and even wanted to send him away as soon as possible.
Link saw it and left without any delay.
The boss came to the door of the shop and saw Link's back walking away. He immediately hugged the box and lay back on his rocking chair, happily looking forward to where he could have a drink in the evening.
It's rare for the store to open, so we must celebrate.
After thinking about it, the boss felt that drinking alone was boring, so he held the magic stone in one hand, picked up the portable computer in the other, and sent a communication request to an old friend.
"What's the matter?"
came an impatient voice from the other side.
"I'm looking for you to drink."
The boss shouted arrogantly, "I'll give you 3 seconds to correct your attitude." "
I'm here!"
The voice on the other side shouted first, then immediately lowered the volume, softened the tone, and said in a flattering way. , "Brother, take me. By the way, where did you get the magic stone? Tell me, I've been having a hard time recently. All my personal money has been confiscated. When I make some money next time, I'll treat you to a drink."
The boss smiled proudly:
"My shabby shop opened today. Alas, you don't know that the only wizard apprentice that Paro hired as a promotion gift actually came to my shop to customize a gift. I'm not bragging
. , after I have had a good drink at night, once I make that gift and give it to the little apprentice, that guy in Paro will be absolutely happy.
Even the Percy Sage Diamond Wand, which is so precious that he won’t even touch it, will Can't compare to it!"
"Brother, you said it so well, what kind of gift is it that is so powerful?" "
It's nothing special, it's just one thing... Hey, that kid is unreasonable. He actually guarded it and let it go. I don't want to leak it out. I was blinded by the fucking magic stone, and I actually agreed!" "
Brother, did you do this on purpose? Did you do it to whet my appetite?"
"Haha...guess."
The boss ignored the "scold" from the other side and hung up the communication, feeling very happy.
Continue rocking the rocking chair, using the pretense of drinking, to look for the next victim.
As soon as Link returned to the laboratory, he received a communication request from Wizard Seren.
"Wizard Serin, good morning, what do you want me to do?"
Link didn't dare to delay, so he answered the call immediately and greeted him politely.
"I heard that you are planning to give Paro a gift that is more powerful than Percy's Sage's Diamond Rod?"
Wizard Serin asked, confusing Link.
What?
I'm actually going to give Wizard Paro a gift that's more powerful than Percy's Sage's Diamond Wand?
I do not know how?
Link pointed at his nose and asked in disbelief: "Who? Me? Gift? More powerful than Percy's Sage's Drill Rod?" "
Yes, the news has spread, and we are all curious. "
Wizard Serin smiled, his tone was full of bad taste, and he teased, "You are so capable, how come I don't know about it? You dare to hide it from me, you are really brave." "What
? ?The news has spread?"
Link was so shocked that he failed to manage his expression. He begged with a sad face, "Please stop teasing me, I have a big head. By the way, how could such bizarre news spread?"
Wizard Seren smiled and said: "You go find 'Big Mouth' Caudle to customize a doll. If you can keep it a secret and don't tell others what kind of doll you customized, you are smart and know how to prevent him from leaking it. Otherwise, , everyone already knows what gift you are planning to give."
"Is there such a thing?"
Link was no longer shocked.
"Okay, please pay more attention to yourself. Everyone is looking forward to it now. I hope your gift will be a surprise."
Wizard Serin gave another reminder and hung up the communication.
Link put down his portable computer and recalled the shop owner's action of sewing his lips together and his words of "you must be strict with your mouth".
I just feel like there are countless alpacas running in my mind.
It's just a piece of shit.
Thanks for the tip from book friend 20210301106539803018, thank you!
