Chapter 345: Chapter 84: Feeling Comfortable! _1
“This…”
The Serene Wizard didn’t expect Link to agree so readily, yet to set such difficult terms.
Soon, she realized that it must be Lokan who had done something excessively outrageous again, arousing the temper of this peevish little fellow on the screen.
She remembered that this little guy and Lokan had embarked on a mission together a few days ago.
Gauging Lokan’s increasingly insubordinate and extreme character, she reckoned that he couldn’t help but commit some sort of indiscretion.
And this little guy, if somebody pissed him off, he would retaliate.
He truly bore a grudge!
In amusement, she chided Link with her eyes, the Serene Wizard helplessly twisted her mouth slightly, repressing a laugh.
Her reprimand was left unspoken.
After all, it takes two to tango, and Lokan was the one at fault to begin with.
It seemed good to have somebody teach Lokan a lesson, to let him learn from it. That’s rather thoughtful.
The Serene Wizard thought for a moment and decided to forget about it, too lazy to intervene in Link and Lokan’s mess.
Let them work it out themselves.
“I will convey this information to Lokan; as for what he thinks and whether he agrees or not, that’s for him to decide.”
With these words, the Serene Wizard closed the video call with Link.
Adjusting her feelings slightly, she ensured the hint of a smile on her face was less visible, and then sent a communication request to Lokan.
“Serene, have you been thinking about me? Great, I’ve been thinking about you too.”
The communication connected almost instantly, and Lokan’s voice sounded out.
When combined with his somewhat cheesy or, should we say, greasy words, it seemed very incongruous, giving someone an eerie feeling.
It raised goosebumps on one’s skin.
“Don’t call me sister, call me Teacher Serene. And don’t talk like that, stop being slick and frivolous. Act properly.”
The Serene Wizard first glared at Lokan’s face and rebuked him, then said, “I’ve just discovered a potion that aids body refinement. If the data is verified and genuine, it’s very suitable for you in all aspects. It’s much better than the potion you’re currently using, and it won’t affect your soul or cognitive abilities. However, there are two problems…”
Upon hearing Serene Wizard’s words, Lokan’s face couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment and joy.
If not due to the drag of the potion, with his innate physical talent and numerous transplanted physical talents, he could have become a Tier-3 wizard a long time ago.
The Serene Wizard’s major in potion study leans more towards soul and elements, and she is not proficient in the development of potions for physical and biochemical directions.
She once attempted to develop a body refinement potion for Lokan, but due to various reasons, it was not successful, and the research in this area was not restarted subsequently.
The good and suitable body refinement potions available in the market around the West Coast are highly overpriced.
With Lokan’s income, he could just manage to afford it at a stretch.
However, body refinement requires more than just potions; there are many other expenses.
The treatment of hidden injuries on the body, the nourishment of the soul, protective gear…
Each of them consumes a considerable amount of Magic Stones.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lokan decided to use a slightly cheaper but flawed potion.
In this way, although it would affect his intellect and temperament, the overall development would be balanced, and no significant weakness would occur.
As a body-refining wizard, their greatest fear is to have glaring weaknesses that the enemy can target.
Now there’s a chance to get a body refinement potion that all aspects suit him, certified by Serene Wizard, and doesn’t have side effects on the soul and mind.
Lokan couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
It would surely accelerate his cultivation process significantly, helping him to become a Tier-3 wizard earlier and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Serene Wizard.
Feeling inferior in status and strength, and being unable to appear alongside the Serene Wizard at official occasions was indeed a bitter pill to swallow.
It hurts one’s pride to perceive others’ disdainful eyes as if a toad wants to eat swan meat.
“What two problems? Serene, just speak out. What we can overcome must be overcome, even if it can’t be overcome, we have to overcome it. This potion recommended by Serene, I must use it, and that’s final.”
Lokan pounded his chest, making a booming sound, speaking with conviction.
With the demeanor of a true gentleman, a firm stand, and a resolute decision.
He portrayed a look of utmost trust in the Serene Wizard and was determined not to go back on his words.
Holding back a laugh, the Serene Wizard said:
“The first problem is that the potion was just developed, and all the data is from the laboratory. It hasn’t been tested yet.
The second problem is that the potion was developed by Link Grande, he agreed to let you test it, but he wants you to beg him.”
Finishing her words, the Serene Wizard didn’t continue to watch Lokan’s face, stiff with surprise and looking like he was constipated, and then she hung up the video call.
With his nostrils flaring and panting, Lokan’s chest heaved violently as he gritted his teeth, clenching his fists.
The happiness he had earlier had now turned into double, if not triple, the anger.
Beg?
Beg who?
Beg Link Grande?
I, Lokan, have only begged Serene in my life, never anyone else.
Even if I ended up being a musclehead, I wouldn’t beg anyone else then.
Especially not that pretty boy, Link Grande!
Good lord, he sure holds a grudge.
Was it such a big deal that I slapped him once and intimidated him a bit?
He actually wants to tear off my face, throw it on the ground, and step on it.
His intentions are wicked indeed.
He is an utterly vile person!
Lokan was seething with anger.
Back at the camp, the Potion Department.
After ending the communication with the Serene Wizard, Link glanced at the two well-packed final versions of the potions on the table – one specifically for providing a boost and the other for enhancing all aspects. The corner of his mouth curled up to reveal a somewhat creepy smile.
