“You’re really amazing!”
As they walked, Jasmine kept praising Link, her eyes shining with admiration whenever she looked at him.
“Just average, really.”
Link got into the spirit of things and joked around with Jasmine.
The Brotherhood Group and the Social Phobia Group, who were studying Link’s lecture notes in the living/work area, saw the two of them and were stunned.
This was happening in broad daylight.
Hey boss, ma’am, can you not be so bold in your displays of affection?
Link rolled his eyes at the few Brotherhood members who were laughing heartily and shook his head in disbelief.
Then he left the lab directly and headed toward the life-service building.
The people who were teasing would have someone to deal with them.
“Let’s go, today we will do an extra lesson on practical magic combat training.” Jasmine, who had been exposed to countless hedonistic nobles since she was a child, understood the look in the eyes of the Brotherhood Group and immediately came up with a killer move.
“No, please, ma’am.”
“Spare us!”
The Brotherhood Group immediately wailed.
Jasmine didn’t care about that. She used her authoritative manner to forcibly push the Brotherhood Group into the Magic Zone for practical combat training.
When Link arrived at the life-service building.
Buck, who had been most openly and lewdly laughing, now wore a pig-headed face, in extreme pain.
As evidence proved, you should never provoke a young girl.
Especially a young girl who is a strong fighter!
Digee, laughing inappropriately at the sight of Buck’s miserable condition, was the second to be dragged away by Jasmine for practical combat training.
At this point, Link had entered a small shop specializing in various puppets.
“What can I help you with?”
The owner, whose business was slow and who had nothing to do but browse the “forum” to ease his boredom, immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
“Hello, I’d like to order a set of custom puppets.”
Link replied politely.
Anyone who could open a shop in the life-service building is no ordinary person.
For shops like this, which rely on the owner’s “skills” to support product supply, no matter how unimpressive they appear on the outside, or how small, shabby, and rundown they are on the inside, they should not be underestimated.
Who knows if another Wizard Cody, who “retired” back to campus, could be encountered?
“Custom puppets? What are your requirements? What price can you offer?
The boss was suddenly interested.
If he could land this order, he’d have his drink money for today… right? Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el//bin(.)c𝒐m
“Half a meter tall, capable of storing the effects, postures, and movements of spells, and then displaying the corresponding content stored according to the command.”
Link told the owner his ideas.
Finding this verbal description lacking in clarity, he immediately used the
Secondary Misty Rain Technique to create a visual model.
Simply put, it would be like a fully programmed robot that could demonstrate the corresponding segments of spell effects, body postures, and movements based on voice, gestures, spiritual power/magic power and other commands.
“In that form, I understand, no problem.”
The owner rubbed his fingers, “As long as you give enough magic stones, even if you directly enchant the spell, it’s not impossible.
Really, if it could be made, this puppet would be comparable to a First Ring or even a Second Ring Magic Tool.
It would be really cool.
A fully moveable, running, punching, and slaying Gundam model or miniature Gundam, nothing more than this.
But how high would the cost be?
Link was not moved by the temptation and said directly, “The maximum is 300 standard first-level magic stones, boss, please make it a good one for me.” Saying this, Link downloaded the highlight reel of Wizard Palo’s two-zone competition from the academy’s “official website” and sent it to the shop’s public intelligent brain after editing.
“Oh, Palo. Isn’t this the ‘highlight reel’ from when Palo won first place all the way through?”
The boss looked over and exclaimed.
His look at Link also became surprised, and he lamented,
“So you’re the only wizard apprentice invited to Sage Palo’s promotion ceremony. Is this a gift for Palo? You’ve put a lot of thought into it, not only is the form novel, but it also hits Palo right in his sweet spot.”
Upon hearing these words, especially the owner’s address to Wizard Palo, Link knew he had met a big shot.
Luckily, he had always maintained a proper attitude, not humble nor arrogant, so as not to offend this unseen boss.
After thinking for a bit, Link requested, “Could you please keep this a secret? This puppet is really just for the novelty, there’s nothing else special about it.” “Don’t worry, I can keep a secret.”
The shop owner made a zipping motion over his mouth, “I won’t leak a word.”
“Thanks, boss.”
Link pulled out two boxes from his pocket, and handed them over, “According to your rules, here’s the deposit, 100 magic stones.
“That’s fine, no hurry to give them to me.”
The boss chuckled heartily, smoothly taking the boxes and opened each one for
a quick count.
Then he hugged them tightly to his chest.
“Well, I’ll leave this to you then.”
Link ignored the boss’s actions as if they had no effect on his reputation at all, “Should I come pick them up next Thursday?”
“Sure, just come and get them then.”
The boss was rubbing the boxes full of magic stones in his hands, indifferent to Link. He even wanted to shoo him away as soon as possible.
Link saw this and didn’t dawdle, he left immediately.
The boss moved to the storefront, and seeing Link’s retreating silhouette getting farther away, he immediately leaned back onto his rocking chair, boxes hugged tightly, dreamily contemplating where to have a drink tonight.
Business is unusually booming in the shop, so it definitely calls for a celebration.
As he was thinking, the boss felt it was boring to drink alone, so he held the magic stones in one hand, picked up his portable comm device with the other, sending a communication request to an old friend.
“What do you need?”
An impatient voice came from the other end.
“Invite you for a drink.”
The boss barked confidently, “I’m giving you 3 seconds to adjust your attitude.”
“Holy crap!”
The voice on the other end exclaimed and quickly lowered the volume. He gently and enticingly said, “Bro, count me in. Where did you get the magic stones from? Tell me, my life’s been hard lately, my personal savings were all confiscated. I’ll treat you next, boss, when I earn some.”
The boss chuckled wisely.
“My humble shop opened for business, you wouldn’t know. The only wizard apprentice Palo invited to his promotion ceremony, came to my shop to order a special gift. Not to boast, but after I finish making the gift tonight, Palo will be absolutely thrilled once he receives it. Even Percy Sage’s diamond wand, which he treasures beyond anything, is nothing compared to it!
“Boss, you’re painting a pretty picture. What’s this gift, if it’s so impressive?” “Nothing special, just a… Eh, the kid is sneaky, he forbade me from revealing it. I was blinded by the magic stones and I actually agreed!”
“Boss, you’re messing with me, aren’t you? Just trying to keep me in suspense, huh?”
“Ha ha… You guess.”
Unperturbed by the grumbles from the other end, the boss cheerfully hung up the call.
He continued rocking in the chair, dreaming of his drink, while looking for his next victim.
just as Link stepped back into the lab, a communication request from the Serene Wizard came in.
“Serene Wizard, good morning, do you need something? Without wasting time, Link answered the call and greeted politely.
“I heard you’re preparing a gift for Palo that outshines even Percy Sage’s Diamond Wand?”
The Serene Wizard’s leading question left Link dumbfounded.
What?
I’m preparing a gift even better than Percy Sage’s Diamond Wand for Wizard Palo?
Why didn’t I know?
Pointing at his own nose, Link asked in disbelief, “Who? Me? A gift? Better than Percy Sage’s Diamond Wand?”
“Yes, the news is all over the place. We’re all curious.
The Serene Wizard grinned, her tone full of mischief as she teased, “You’re so capable, how come I didn’t know about it? Keeping secrets from me, you’ re really daring.”
“What? The news is out?”
Link was extremely shocked. He was unable to hide his expression as he pleaded, “Please don’t tease me, my head’s in a mess. How did such bizarre news get out?”
The Serene Wizard responded with a laugh, “You went to ’Blabber1 Calder to order a doll. You’re clever enough to make sure he doesn’t leak what type of doll you’re making. If you hadn’t done that, everyone would know what gift you’re planning to give.”
“Is there such a thing?”
Link was no longer surprised.
“Alright, just be careful yourself. Everyone’s looking forward to it, hopefully your gift will be a surprise.”
The Serene Wizard reminded him before she terminated the call.
Link put down his comm device, recalling the shop owner’s zipping motion over his mouth and his promise of “I’m sealed tight.”
All he could think of were countless images of running llamas in his mind.
What a screwed-up situation.
