Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 313 312: Proposal

Chapter 313 312: Proposal

"So what do you want Mrs. Manager?"

The moment Corey asked this question, the atmosphere in the room became solemn and quiet for the first five seconds before a soft laughter resounded in the room.

"I think you know what I want Anon."

Calista chuckled softly while wiping away the tear that had formed in her left eye as a result of her laughter.

"There is only one thing you have that I'm interested in."

Calista paused, and the smile on her face slowly vanished.

"The concoction recipe for Neon."

Calista emotionlessly spread out her hand and a fraction of her aura spread out into the room.

Despite the stifling pressure that was emitted by Calista, Corey remained unperturbed and still maintained a nonchalant expression, slightly surprising Calista.

Corey gazed at Calista for a few seconds, then he gave a subtle glance towards Kiefer who was having visible difficulty breathing.

Corey looked back at Calista, then he waved his right hand towards her.

Woosh.

The sound of an object moving at a fast speed whistled through the air, and in the blink of an eye, the sound abruptly stopped.

"I'm quite displeased by your actions."

Calista's voice which contained a tinge of slight anger resounded in the room.

Hovering in front In front of her was a piece of folded paper which was a mere centimeter from touching the tip of her nose.

"What's to stop me from punishing you right now?"

Calista asked while pushing away the sheet of folded paper with a finger, and looking at Corey with a calm expression.

"That's the recipe."

Corey nonchalantly replied while gesturing towards the folded sheet of paper.

Calista raised a brow, then she held the sheet of paper.

"It's good I didn't burn it then."

Calista said, then she opened the paper and took a quick glance at its contents.

A second later, her eyes widened in astonishment and she exclaimed:

"The most important ingredient of Neon which allows a person is a soul stone? A fragment of a soul stone?"

Calista looked at Corey with visible surprise and bafflement, and old man poison also had the same expression.

In fact, his was much more pronounced and Corey did not need to look at his master since his senses could pick his master's extremely baffled and surprised gaze.

"Yes, the most ingredient is a fragment of a soul stone."

Corey nodded, then he turned towards his master.

"You'll need to use your mana to apply enough pressure on the fragment of the soul stone while boiling it at the same time at a temperature of at least 170 degrees Celsius so as to liquify the soul stone fragment."

"You need a temperature of at least 170 degrees Celsius for a tier 1 soul stone fragment, 200 for a tier 2 soul stone fragment, and 270 for a tier 3 soul stone fragment. As for tier 0, at least 150."

"Your control of mana has to be exceptional to do this quickly and efficiently, since there's a likelihood of an explosion occurring if something goes wrong."

"Using a tier 1 soul stone fragment to concoct Neon can increase the stats of a tier 1 and tier 0 after they take Neon. A tier 2 soul stone fragment can increase the stats of a tier 2 and below. And so on."

"Increasing the stats of a tier 3 is the limit of Neon, and the increase is not much compared to that of tier 2 and below."

Corey stopped, then he looked at Calista who had an intrigued glint in her eyes when she heard Corey's words.

"I have a proposal to make Mrs. Manager."

Corey spoke calmly and Calista immediately became curious.

"Let's become business partners."

Silence.

Every individual in the room became stunned the instant they heard Corey's words.

Calista was no exception either.

"What makes you think we can become business partners? In fact, what makes you think you'll still be in charge of selling Neon?"

"I'm now in charge of Neon and I would produce it and use it as I wish. You cant' sell and produce it anymore unless you want me to kill you right here and now."

Calista's mocking voice resounded in the room, and the tension in the room rose by several notches.

Corey remained quiet for several seconds. Though, his expression still remained nonchalant.

"I know you don't need me anymore since you have the concoction recipe of Neon in your hand. But…"

Corey paused and Calista raised her brows.

"What if I told you that it's possible to create another version that could permanently increase the stats of a tier 4?"

Corey said, and Calista's eyes widened.

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

Old man poison immediately stood and shouted.

"Creating a narcotic like that would go against common sense!"

"It's alright when it only affects mortals. But if it can also affect mystical beings, then that would change and disrupt a lot of things!"

"It would cause chaos!"

Old man poison shouted despite the presence of Calista.

Calista did not mind, and her gaze was constantly on Corey to spot any sign of lies and falsehood in his words.

A subtle smile appeared on Corey's lips when he heard his master's words, but he said nothing.

"Of course, the new version of Neon which I want to call Neon 2.0, is just an idea of mine. I've been thinking about it, and I'm 80% sure my idea would work out."

Corey said, then he glanced at old man poison.

"But, I'll need help to concoct Neon 2.0."

Corey said, and Calista slightly furrowed her brows.

"What kind of help do you need?"

Calista asked with a curious tone, and a slight smile appeared on Corey's lips.

"I need good poison specialists, tier 4s or tier 5s that have a high level of control over mana and mystic energy, resources, a well equipped laboratory, and whatever thing that comes to my mind in the future."

Corey nonchalantly said, and Calista furrowed her brows while spinning the empty glass cup in her hands.

"So, if I give you all of these and you're able to create Neon 2.0. What then?"

"We automatically become business partners and maybe friends?"

"Do you really think I'd still allow you to freely run a business using Neon and Neon 2.0?"

Calista mockingly asked with raised brows, and Corey shrugged.

"Of course we use a system contract. And…"

Corey paused, and Calista frowned slightly.

"I want you to include the Neon recipe in your upcoming auction."

Corey said with a smile.
