Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems-Chapter 132: Sales Pitch from an Ouroboros Genius

Chimera Trading Market. Locke once again arrived at the Kentri Furnace Workshop.
He was already familiar with this shop, so naturally there was no need to switch to other alchemy workshops for purchases. There were still quite a few shops in Chimera Trading Market that sold counterfeit and inferior goods, so Locke preferred to go to familiar shops to buy the magical resources he needed.
Tyne Kentri emerged from the flame furnace refining formation covered in dirt and ash. This time his entire body was blackened, as if he had just crawled out of slag from inside a furnace.
Locke found it somewhat unbearable to look directly at him. This alchemist was really too miserable, completely incomparable to those elegant and refined potion masters.
After hearing Locke's requirements, Tyne became enthusiastic. "Enhanced security? When you came last time, I already wanted to recommend this to you, but you left before I could finish speaking."
"I've long felt that a genius breeder like you should have already upgraded the treatment of your botanical garden."
Tyne's shop was only half a street away from Lijin Secret Language, so when he occasionally encountered Yuri Burns, he would hear some information about Locke from Yuri, and thus Tyne knew that Locke was a genius breeder.
Locke also learned from Yuri that Tyne was a wizard seed of the Ouroboros Circle, and his status was not low.
Although he was in Chimera Trading Market, he was merely using this market to sell his various products. He personally could receive various resource allocations from the Ouroboros Circle.
He wasn't as miserable as he appeared.
It was just due to the special nature of alchemists that every time Locke saw him, he always looked very rustic.
Tyne was very interested in promoting his own works. "I recommend you buy three True Sight Orbs that I carefully designed, paired with two sets of protective barriers, then buy two Clay Golem Guards, and that should be about right."
Tyne moved over a stool, then jumped on it and took down a basketball-sized orb from the shelf. "Look, the three True Sight Orbs can establish mana connections between them. You can use the True Sight Orbs to monitor things within fifty meters around the orbs."
"The True Sight Orbs I made have a little bit of not-so-important enchantment magic added, allowing them to float in mid-air, so you can use these three True Sight Orbs to inspect your botanical garden and pharmacy."
"Oh, and there's also a 0.5-circle memory technique on top that can record scenes that occurred within three months."
Locke took the True Sight Orb, wisely not asking why alchemical items must always include enchanter methods.
In reality, although alchemists and enchanters mutually excluded each other, they were paradoxically forced to cooperate with each other.
Many magical items were masterpieces from the intersection of both fields.
Locke examined it and found he could indeed observe through one True Sight Orb the detection range of another True Sight Orb, with a maximum observation radius of about fifty meters.
But through the 0.5-circle levitation technique enchanted on it, it could patrol above his botanical garden and pharmacy.
This was equivalent to a remotely controllable, freely movable surveillance system.
Locke nodded, "Not bad, but how much does it cost?"
Tyne jumped down from the stool. "Each one costs 250 magic stones."
Locke frowned slightly. "Too expensive. And I'm buying three at once, can't you make it cheaper?"
Tyne spread his hands, "But it has three 0.5-circle spells attached, Memory Technique, Detection Technique, and Levitation Technique. The main body is already an outstanding alchemical item, essentially equivalent to a mid-to-high level magical item. If it weren't for this being a popular item, a necessity, the price might be even a hundred magic stones higher."
"I'm telling you, Locke, for such an amazing breeder's botanical garden, you must have this kind of thing." Tyne said in a low voice, "My alchemy workshop is constantly visited by thieves wanting to steal my special magical alloy material formulas."
"Even some of my apprentices want to steal and learn my skills. True Sight Orbs are essential. Without buying them, how can you feel at ease?"
Seeing that Locke still showed resistance, Tyne could only rub his hands together, "Alright, alright, if you buy three at the same time, I'll give you a discount."
"How about 220 magic stones each? Can't go any lower. I'm only making this additional concession because you're a regular customer."
Locke nodded slightly. After signing the bulk procurement contract last month, he still had 5,400 magic stones left, plus this month's income from the Super Mandrake Vines magical fields and Wiregrass Bull Sinew magical fields, totaling 3,500 in income.
Currently, he had a whopping 8,900 magic stones in his astral ring.
This was a huge sum.
It wasn't that Locke couldn't afford these small items, he was just instinctively bargaining.
After all, True Sight Orbs were indeed necessities in a certain sense. Everyone would purchase them to monitor certain places that must be monitored.
"Fine, then I'll buy three True Sight Orbs," Locke said.
The dwarf Tyne continued enthusiastically promoting the works in his shop. "Two protective barriers, just set them up in one place and they can automatically deploy a 0.8-circle semi-permanent barrier array, each selling for 500 magic stones!"
"And my Clay Golems." Tyne pointed to the depths of his shop, where a clay golem stood like a model. The golem looked like an enlarged version of a clay figure, standing over four meters tall, with magical runes covering its body, each rune flickering slightly with spell radiance.
The Clay Golem's eyes even emitted dangerous red light.
A powerful aura rushed toward them.
Tyne excitedly introduced his latest work, the Clay Golem, another masterpiece created by alchemists, a capable assistant for wizards, a puppet robot that could be operated with magic, very suitable as botanical garden guards.
Tyne said enthusiastically, "One only costs 1,200 magic stones. This thing is genuine high-end goods that ordinary first-class wizard apprentices can't afford."
"Think about it, when you go out shopping with such a powerful guy by your side, how great that would be. Clay Golems are magical puppets with powerful magic-resistant skin and magic immunity abilities. Each of their strikes can compare to cantrip models from the Force school, and you can even cast spells remotely through the Clay Golem."
"Aside from being a bit slow in movement speed, there are no other problems!"
Tyne strongly recommended it. "If enemies invade your botanical garden, you can even remotely cast spells to counterattack through the golem. Locke, don't hesitate, buy it quickly. This isn't something ordinary first-class wizard apprentices can afford!"
"This is high-end goods!"
Locke glanced at Tyne and his Clay Golem creation, then nodded lightly. Under Tyne's almost excited gaze, he said indifferently, "Mm, I think you're absolutely right. I am just an ordinary first-class wizard apprentice."
"I only need these three True Sight crystal balls. I don't need the others. This is 660 magic stones."
The alchemy cottage was distributed by the academy and already had powerful defensive arrays, so he didn't need to purchase additional defensive barriers, or even buy something like a Clay Golem that was expensive yet had a relatively narrow range of applications.
He needed to save money to buy more magical resources that would help with cultivation, not squander it carelessly here.
He didn't need to buy a Clay Golem to take out and show off in front of people.
Moreover, the golem's movement speed was too slow. While it was more than adequate as a guard, it would be insufficient for use in combat.
The expression on Tyne's face immediately cracked. "Locke, you... wait, don't leave. If you won't buy high-end goods, you could buy luxury items. I recently have another work, magic mirrors..."
"Locke, you're really too stingy! You're at least the rising star genius breeder of Lilith's Cottage!"
After forcibly saying goodbye to Tyne, who kept trying to sell him his products, Locke took the three True Sight Orbs and prepared to leave Chimera Trading Market.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, Locke encountered a familiar person on the street, first-class wizard apprentice Zack from the procurement department.
Zack was obviously in a good mood at the moment, even walking with a smile. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Locke, then immediately approached Locke, wanting to share something about the Crystal Palm Fire Lotus with him.
"Locke? Your mana... has grown quite quickly. By the way."
"Locke, the batch of magical plants you delivered to me played a great role in the wizard war against the Blood Curse Court a few days ago!"
"Come, let's go to the Witch's Kitchen together. I'll treat you to another meal. This can be considered our celebration."
"That sounds good, Senior Zack." Locke glanced at the sky. It was almost noon, and he thought about how the food made by flavor masters still wasn't cheap.
Moreover, he should have deeper cooperation with Zack in the future.
Therefore, he didn't refuse.
Furthermore, Locke also wanted to know what exactly had happened to make Zack so happy.
