301 Magic Tycoon, No One Other Than Me
At this moment, the guild leader scolded, “Jason, stop. Hawk and Link built a dock prototype on their own. He’s more capable than you. If you want to be the deputy leader, you’ll need a few more years of training.”
The man called Jason stopped talking in embarrassment.
“Also, Hawk, take the people from Delpon and move to Bluewater Harbor right now to assist Brenda in managing that place. As a single woman, she lacks some dominance, and the situation in Bluewater Harbor is not too optimistic right now. She’s about to lose control of the situation.”
Hawk said with some confusion, “Can’t we let the others go? I’ll make her unhappy if I show up out of the blue.”
“She can’t wait for you to get over there,” someone blurted out.
The others would have laughed, and would most likely have laughed boisterously if the situation wasn’t really dire right now.
Hawk scratched his head. “What about Delpon?”
The guild leader said bluntly, “Let Jason take care of it. I’ve still got those same words: whoever advocates the matter will take charge of it. Jason, since you think you can take the taxation power from F6’s Roland, then you do it.”
Jason revealed a delighted expression. “I understand.”
Hawk hesitated for a moment and said, “Maybe I’d better stay in Delpon; Roland and I are friends after all, and my words still hold some sway. If we let Jason go over there, with his personality, there will really be no way to redeem the situation.”
“It doesn’t matter now that things have come to this, it’s okay to burn bridges.” The guild leader in sipped his water and continued, “Maybe Jason can change the situation with bared fists. Even if he fails, the situation won’t be any worse than it is now.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Hawk sighed. “Okay, you guys decide.”
The guild leader continued, “Finally, I’ll reiterate one more point. No matter what kind of conflict you have with another player, don’t bring the fire of war to the NPCs. Players’ matters are settled between players, and if you want to achieve your objectives by threatening and killing NPCs familiar to your opponent, don’t blame me for being harsh if I find out about it.”
After that, that guild leader said quite a bit about the dilemma facing the guild and how to deal with it, and Hawk listened in a daze. He seemed to have listened to everything, but remembered nothing.
After the guild leader dismissed the meeting, Hawk, muddleheaded, got into the game’s virtual pod and entered the game again.
Link was just a short distance away, directing the workers to clear the debris, and when he saw him come online, he immediately trotted over and asked, “What did the guild leader say?”
“We’re being transferred.”
“Oh.” Link didn’t care. “Going anywhere is the same.”
“We’re going to Bluewater Harbor to help Brenda.”
Stunned momentarily, Link complained, “Why are we helping that slut?”
Hawk showed a faint sadness. “The guild leader’s orders. He wants to take down Jason—Roland’s not that easy to get along with, and when Jason fails, he’ll have a reason to deal with him.”
Link clicked his tongue. “The guild is looking more and more like a real company now.”
“There was no chance before, but now that there’s a chance to show his business leadership skills in the game, the guild leader is sure to move the guild toward the corporate side.” Hawk sighed. “I don’t know if that’s good or bad.”
At this moment, Roland was in the Magic Tower, analyzing the principles of enchantment.
He learned all the magic that he could now and forgot about the magic that he couldn’t learn for the time being.
With so many nodes and exaggerated magical space capacity, Mystra’s Mansion would absolutely be a 100% head explosion if it failed.
He put it aside for now and tried to figure out enchantment first.
Roland studied for a while, typing out the properties of several magical materials, then opened the forum and was about to upload his findings.
However, he saw a message from someone he’d whitelisted on the forums, opened it up, and found it was the data powerhouse O’Neal.
“Roland, after seeing this message, please stop uploading free magic models to the forum. Upon our discovery, some unscrupulous Mages are taking your derivative spells and earning money and supplies from the Association of Mages in other countries. What’s even more outrageous is that they actually changed the author’s name as well, pretending it’s their own. You may not want the benefits, but this trend can’t continue.”
Roland smiled bitterly in helplessness.
In reality, he had guessed that something like this would happen, but he thought that it would take at least half a year.
Roland was well aware that his derivative spells were quite valuable.
Otherwise, Kaka wouldn’t have died.
Since the magic models couldn’t be uploaded, enchantment was something that shouldn’t be uploaded even more.
Roland sighed slightly and closed the game forum, reclining in his chair and blanking out in silence.
After half an hour, Roland regained his composure and continued to research the properties of the magic materials and also conducted some small experiments on enchantment.
Sharp Edge and Weapon Material Hardening were taught to Roland by that Drow.
The success rate of these two enchantments for the Drow teacher was also less than forty percent, but Roland’s was now over sixty percent.
He had excelled beyond his teacher.
Besides, after wasting nearly a hundred gold coins on magic materials, and after nearly a month of sifting through materials, recording them, tasting them with his mouth, using mental power to analyze them, conducting mixing tests, and analyzing data models, Roland finally discovered the low-level enchantment of Lesser Magic Power Regeneration.
Of course, a lot of byproducts were produced during this time.
For example, energizing and winterizing enchantments were also results of the study.
The effects of these enchantments were average. The effects were there, but not very noticeable.
However, it was still better than nothing, right?
What Roland valued the most was the Lesser Magic Power Regeneration enchantment.
Although there was already the specialty of Roland’s Zeal, the regeneration speed was not enough to keep up with the needs of his level.
And as Roland learned more and more advanced spells, the amount of magic power he consumed increased, and now he had to sit and rest for more than five hours after conducting magic experiments to fully regenerate his magic power.
This was why Roland planned to make himself a set of magic regeneration equipment that would allow him to conduct magic experiments for a long time.
He opened the system interface and confirmed the few pieces of equipment that worked for a player.
Earrings x2, necklace x2, necklace, hat, clothes, cloak, belt, weapon (no dual-wielding specialty), shoes x2.
Rings and handguards shared the same equipment bar, so the handguard would have to be removed. After all, Mages didn’t need to wear iron handguards.
There were twelve pieces of equipment in total.
For rings and earrings, he asked Vivian to find herself the right type for a man to wear.
After that, Roland spent nearly a hundred gold coins and spent seven whole days in the magic lab, and with a success rate of only roughly 60 percent, he finally attached the magic regeneration effect onto twelve pieces of equipment.
Then he put on all his magic equipment and looked in the mirror.
He discovered that he looked gaudy, glowing with light blue magic from head to toe.
He looked exactly like he’d had a string of Christmas neon lights wrapped around him...
Emanating the idiotic air of a magic tycoon.
