Chapter 354: Chapter 87 Renowned Sentiment always meet Indifference_2
Morpheus turned his gaze toward Link, asking seriously, “You won’t let us down, will you?”
Link was somewhat puzzled after hearing these words.
Given the current situation, there was no point in hiding anything, so he asked:
“Serene Wizard has already developed ‘Regret’, a potion that is enough to be engraved in history. According to many people’s evaluations, as long as one ascends to become a sage, it is enough to be crowned with the title ‘Master Potion Maker’.
So why do you say there is a need?”
Morpheus chuckled, saying, “A ‘Master Potion Maker’ must both pioneer their own academic school and be able to teach students who can inherit their academic lineage or build their own.”
With razor-sharp eyes as if they could peer into one’s heart, Morpheus stared into Link’s eyes: “You are the ‘student’ that we have been yearning for for many years, that little apprentice!”
Link could discern the strong emotional undertones in Morpheus’ words.
It was typical of someone who was not up to the task entrusting their hopes to a successor.
He mused, how could the minister of the Medical Department, even if a bit incompetent, repeatedly permit a small player like Link to “jump around” and shamelessly besmirch the reputation of the Medical Department without any attempt at retaliation?
Even going as far as setting the stage for Link to shine brighter and draw more attention.
Nothing in this world happens without a reason.
Why is Morpheus so kind to Link?
Why does Wizard Salossal tolerate Link?
The answer is they pinned high hopes on Link.
Link understood.
However, he did not respond directly to Morpheus, choosing to remain silent instead.
Frankly, he didn’t quite agree with the approach and mindset of Morpheus and Wizard Salossal.
Even so, he couldn’t express his discontent openly and hence chose to hold his silence.
After a good while, as the two were nearly leaving the temporary site of the Medical Department, Link spoke up:
“If the Serene Wizard needs me, I will certainly assist wholeheartedly. However, it’s not for your sakes, but for myself, and for the care and support the Serene Wizard has provided me.”
After saying that, Link ignored Morpheus, whose expression had become complicated, and he took out his newly acquired Third Ring Magic Tool class vehicle.
As he tossed it, he childishly cheered in his mind:
Transform!
Witnessing the miniaturized vehicle swell back to its normal size,
Link couldn’t help but marvel:
A man is a boy at heart until he dies;
And,
A car is indeed a man’s second “home”.
Upon their first meeting, Link had already taken a deep liking to this vehicle.
After his moment of admiration, Link moved toward the nobly designed, luxurious vehicle, a Third Ring Magic Tool class vehicle resembling a custom version of Mr. Bean’s Phantom Coupe.
Sensing that Link, who had completed the spiritual binding during the tossing process, was approaching, the car door swung open automatically.
Link sat in the driver’s seat.
This vehicle supported both manual and automatic driving modes.
Of course, Link chose the automatic driving mode.
Having been away from the “car world” for such a long time, even if he was itching to drive, he couldn’t risk his own life, right?
After a low roar, the cool vehicle sped away from the temporary site of the Medical Department with Link onboard at an astonishing speed.
After taking a joyful spin outdoors and enjoying the breeze, Link returned to the temporary site of the Medical Department.
By then, Morpheus had already emerged from his intense emotional state.
He greeted Link, speaking in a subdued tone: “There’s not much to do here, if you are restless, you can go back first.”
Link chuckled, saying, “We came together, so let’s leave together.”
Saying so, Link stowed the vehicle away and headed towards the Medical Department’s potion production line.
Morpheus made no attempt to stop him and allowed it to happen.
After all, a sociable genius is always easier to get along with than an aloof one who thinks highly of themselves.
In this way, the nine members of the Potion Department helped the Medical Department with their work for an entire day, processing over 60,000 contaminated fairies.
By the time they returned to the rear camp in the Desolate World, it was already “sunset.”
Every place covered by the Wizard World, no matter how far apart, follows the same time rule!
When dawn breaks in the Wizard World, it dawns in all other places.
When night falls in the Wizard World, so it does in all other places.
That’s how absolute it is!
After returning to his quarters, taking a bath, and reflecting on his experiences of the day, Link went to sleep.
He woke up early the next morning with nothing in particular to do and set about his studies.
The leisurely lifestyle continued undisturbed for one and a half month.
The final version of the body refining potion, after such a long period of trial feedback and optimization, was ready.
Link didn’t want to deal with the hassle of running the production line and handling sales, so as soon as the version was finalized, he made contact with the Serene Wizard.
“Little guy, did you miss your sister?”
For some reason, upon seeing Link’s youthful face this time, the Serene Wizard couldn’t resist bantering.
Perhaps she was trying to shake off the feeling of greasiness she had acquired from Lokan with Link’s freshness?
“No!”
Link deadpanned, refusing to be played with by the older sister figure, and said seriously, “The final version of the body refining potion is ready, and I would like to transfer it to your potion shop for production and sales.”
“Hmph!”
With a charming pout, Serene Wizard shot Link a captivating glare, saying discontentedly, “So you’re done using Lokan for testing your potions?”
Link calmly replied: “He didn’t lose out, did he? The effect of my potion is significantly better than what he used before.”
“Yes, you’re the best!”
Serene Wizard gave a half-hearted response, then asked, “How much of the profits are you planning to share with me this time? Last time, I made a killing from the 30% profits of the ‘Mind’ potion.”
