Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 41 Selling Potions, Disdain

Leave the laboratory.

Ian didn't go home; instead, he went to find Victor.

"Ian?"

This was the first time Victor had seen Ian since joining the department, and he was delighted to welcome him inside.

"I'm sitting on the sofa," Victor asked.

"Is there something you need?"

"Teacher, do you have any connections? I'd like to sell the previous potions."

Ian still prefers this form of address.

He initially intended to sell the potion to Logan, but he simply couldn't wait any longer, as he was severely lacking in magic stones.

I also considered a sales department.

However, the recycling center said they only recycle lab workers and junior pharmacists.

Normally, the wizards in the department would be able to help the lab with the recycling, but it's clear that Hal wouldn't do that!

"Selling medicine? I almost forgot about your lab in Hal."

Victor patted his forehead.

He's been so busy lately that he's almost forgotten about Ian.

"Just give it to me, I'll recycle it for you. The department's recycling price is nine magic stone fragments. If you try to sell it at the market, you might only get eight magic stone fragments," Victor said.

"I'll talk to Minister Vivian later and see if I can give you some subsidies, since I'm the one who brought you in. But it's not certain."

"Thank you, instructor."

Ian was immediately touched.

Victor has taken good care of him since he joined the school.

Ian prepared to leave to retrieve the medicine.

Before leaving, Victor called him back.

"Ian."

Ian turned to look at Victor, somewhat puzzled.

Is there anything else?

Victor took a deep breath and looked at Ian, saying:

"Ian, actually, Lady Vivian knows about your situation."

She told me, "You have to climb out of this mess yourself first and prove you're worth investing in. Of course, if you really can't hold on, she can pull you out in three months at most!"

Ian's eyes sharpened.

Actually, he also had questions.

He had been in the department for some time, but Vivian hadn't paid any attention to him.

Now it seems that she was probably fully aware of his situation.

Then I thought of my brief meeting with Vivian before.

It seems that this minister is a pure value investor.

Is this a test?

"As long as you prove your worth and that your talent is real, the rewards will definitely satisfy you. That's what happened to me back then."

Victor added.

"Understood, instructor."

Ian nodded.

After talking with Victor, many things became clear instantly.

Minister Vivian is indeed completely different from Victor.

Only by demonstrating sufficient value can one obtain sufficient protection.

"I need to become a junior pharmacist as soon as possible."

Ian took a deep breath.

……

After leaving the lab, Ian went home and brought all the medicine back.

There are ten in total.

Victor tapped his spatial artifact, which was worth several hundred, and then took out nine magic stones and gave them to Ian.

I'm so envious.

Using these magic stones, he purchased some potion ingredients.

It seems like an unnecessary step.

After all, handling materials can improve one's proficiency.

However, during this period of configuration, Ian discovered a problem.

While processing materials can improve proficiency, this experience remains in the mind as if it has been frozen.

Practice can quickly melt the ice, allowing Ian to absorb it rapidly.

This is also what Ian finds amazing about the panel!

It has game-like mechanics, but they fit reality so smoothly that they don't feel out of place.

After all, the idea that processing materials can improve performance is very much like a game.

This has led to him being truly poor now!

In fact, with his perfect-grade hemostatic potion, he could have easily earned magic stones.

However, he simply didn't have enough time.

I finish work late in the afternoon every day, and I can't delay meditation either.

He was completely exhausted after practicing with the new potion for a while.

"So I still need to advance to the junior pharmacist level!"

Ian sighed again.

Only after becoming a junior pharmacist will he have enough time.

It also includes many other things.

......

Time flies.

The subsidy Victor mentioned went unanswered, indicating that it was not successful.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a month has passed.

He has already reached the expert level in using secondary stamina potions, so handling materials is no longer a problem for him.

It's also the last day of the month, which is also the day the department pays salaries.

Inside the Potions Department.

Doug would distribute the funds to various internal departments, and then the responsible persons would distribute them.

Therefore, Ian's funds were provided by Hal.

"Your salary for this month is five magic stones, but you need to compensate for damaged materials with four magic stones, and for damaged equipment with one magic stone, so your total is zero."

Hal looked up at Ian, his tone calm but unquestionable.

Ian frowned immediately.

Because there are many materials in a given document, it is often only one type that is damaged.

Under his deliberate control, it's impossible for it to exceed three.

And the claim of damaged equipment is utter nonsense.

"I'd like to check the records," Ian said.

Hal's cloudy eyes widened instantly: "Records? The lab processes thousands of materials every day, do you expect me to create a separate file for you? I said four pieces, so it's four pieces. What, do you think I'm deliberately making things difficult for you?"

"I see."

Suppressing his anger, Ian nodded.

"Good, don't waste other people's time."

Hal waved his hand casually.

Ian turned and left.

As he stepped outside, he faintly heard Hal's smug smile.

........

night!

Looking at the nearly depleted magic stone reserves.

"Fortunately, tomorrow is the start of a new month, and the Silvermoon Lake family's funding should have arrived by now."

Ian took a deep breath.

This is his only source of income at present.

The next day at dusk.

Ian headed to Maple Leaf Avenue.

Knock on the door.

Chris opened the door, but looked exhausted.

"Ian, you're here!"

"Senior, what's wrong?" Ian had never seen her so tired before.

"Nothing's wrong, please come in."

Chris wasn't going to tell him today, so Ian didn't ask.

Soon, Ian received the magic stone for the month.

The maid, Lily, escorted him out.

At this moment, Ian asked directly:

"What exactly happened?"

Lily hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and said:

"Hal from your Potions Department came to our family, hoping to cancel our funding for you. Some people in the family agree with this, believing that you are not even a junior apothecary, but Miss disagrees, so they started arguing."

"But it's not that exaggerated. If you advance to the level of a junior pharmacist, your family probably won't say anything."

Ian was taken aback.

He never expected that Hal would investigate him to this extent, even connecting him with the Silvermoon Lake family.

"Okay, I understand. Please thank your senior for me."

Ian kept this affection to himself.

Whenever there's an opportunity in the future...

It will definitely pay off.
