A set worth 13 billion? Wayai felt like he was about to go crazy, too.

How could it be so much? Tion Shaoling shrugged.

That set was only worth 3 billion.

Only 3 billion.

This was something only she could say.

The rest of the money came from later transactions with the Leong family s trading house, slowly earning it back.

You know, our small shop has always been a nocost business.

Everything sold as profit.

The things you brought back are so valuable, so it gradually accumulated so much on the card, but I don't know how to spend it.

Way Kai looked at the black gold card in his hand, suddenly falling into distress.

Chapter 313.

Alchemy Laboratory.

I have an idea.

After listening to Weii Kai's Versail speech, Tion Shaoling suddenly spoke up.

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to find an alchemist to brew potions yourself? Have you found one?" Way Kai asked curiously.

"Yes, but the other party hasn't agreed yet," Tion Shaoling replied.

"If we can first set up the alchemy laboratory and prepare various spiritual herbs, materials, and formulas, the other party might agree to come over.

What do I need him for if everything is ready?" Way Kai shook his head in dissatisfaction.

However, it is indeed necessary to build an alchemy laboratory.

Alchemists are similar to alchemists.

Both require a dedicated laboratory to better practice their skills and enhance their strength.

But currently, the infrastructure in Yonging City is not perfect, and there's only one alchemy laboratory in the entire city, which is located in the Alchemist Guild.

It's like living under someone else's roof.

If the alchemists in the city want to use the laboratory, they have to apply to the alchemist guild and endure scolding every time.

The alchemists can't even retort because this laboratory originally belonged to the alchemist guild and it was transformed into an alchemy laboratory only because the authorities felt pity for the alchemists and borrowed a laboratory from the alchemist guild.

Why are alchemists so pitiful? It's because this profession is too costly and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

The materials, spiritual herbs, and formulas needed for alchemy all come from the wild.

However, alchemists have no combat power and cannot gather materials themselves.

They can only purchase them with money.

If you could buy the materials with money, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But the problem is that some spiritual herbs are simply not available for purchase no matter how much money you spend.

The worst part is that even with the materials, spiritual herbs and formulas, alchemy may not necessarily succeed.

Every failure is like burning money.

When the input and output are not proportional, this profession naturally becomes less appealing.

Those who inadvertently switched to becoming alchemists can only accept their misfortune.

They either give up on themselves or quickly change careers just like Tion Shaoling who works in sales with her enchanter profession.

In the past 10 years, very few people have been able to persist in the alchemist industry.

In fact, there are other professions that burn money just like alchemy.

The most similar profession is the neighboring alchemist.

The materials needed also come from the wild and require money to purchase.

They also need a separate laboratory to practice their skills and enhance their strength.

There's also a possibility of failure, and once it fails, it's like throwing money away.

The only difference is that the alchemist industry has produced many master level figures such as Elder Gu, presidently of the Alchemist Association.

An official alchemy consultant Mangqing Yu among others.

Under the leadership of these master level figures, the alchemist industry has been thriving, developing one achievement after another, leaving the alchemist industry far behind.

The most famous achievements among them are Elder Goo's attribute transformation and President Lee's alchemical potions.

Yes, potions can also be obtained through alchemy.

The effects are not much different from the pills obtained through alchemy.

And in the mid to lowend aspects, they can completely replace them.

Because of this, the Alchemist Association has been advocating for the merger of the Alchemist Association with the Alchemist Guild, combining the two into one.

However, the authorities have not agreed.

considering that the profession of alchemists still exists.

However, the emergence of alchemical potions has indeed squeezed the already limited living space of alchemists, making their survival increasingly difficult.

This is why when we kai wanted to find someone to brew potions, Tion Shaoling helped look for half a month but couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Nevertheless, Way Kai has always believed that the profession of alchemist has potential.

The current decline of the alchemist industry is entirely due to the lack of a true master, a leader of the industry.

Once a master level alchemist can be cultivated, this industry will surely be revitalized and usher in explosive growth.

You want to cultivate one yourself? Tion Shaoling quickly understood his intention.

Yes, I can rest assured if I cultivate myself, Kai nodded.

If I finally cultivate a master level alchemist only for them to leave without a second thought, I wouldn't know where to cry.

Where can I find a suitable candidate? Tion Shaoling asked again.

Just look for one slowly, Way Kai said.

Forget about the previous one.

If they want to come, they can.

All right, then we can only look for one slowly.

Tion Shaoling thought for a moment and finally agreed.

After discussing this matter, the two talked about the opening of the new store.

With only one day left until the grand opening, all the necessary preparations had actually been made.

The only thing that hadn't been confirmed was whether We Kai would participate in the opening ceremony.

"Let's skip it," Way Kai thought for a moment and shook his head.

"You can go.

I'll keep a low profile.

Regardless of whether it's the old store or the new store, the nominal boss is Tion Shaoling.

" Way Kai is just a partner and a behind-the-scenes supplier.

If Way Kai suddenly stands up and tells everyone he is the boss, it would probably cause quite a stir.

Most importantly, it could bring him trouble.

Way Kai has always dislike trouble and showing off.

That works, too.

Ton Shaoling didn't t want to force it.

After all, a force melon is not sweet.

By the way, there's one more thing.

She suddenly thought of something and smiled at Way Kai.

What? Way Kai was a bit curious.

Why was Ling Jia suddenly so happy? Guess what level I am now? Tion Shaoling asked with a smile.

Level 20? Yes, yes.

Tion Shaoling nodded repeatedly, her face full of excitement.

I practiced all night last night and I finally reached level 20.

I plan to go complete the first transfer quest after the opening ceremony.

Great.

If you need anything, just say it.

Way Kai patted his chest and promised.

He knew that it was not easy for Tion Shaoling to reach level 20 in such a short time.

At this moment, not only should he provide encouragement, but he also needed to offer substantial help.

Tion Shaoling becoming stronger is a good thing for both her and the seventh action team.

Can you go with me? Tion Shaoling shily asked.

I'm a bit worried alone.

No problem.

Wake agreed immediately, then thought of something and quickly explained.

However, it has to be in the afternoon or evening.

I have something to do at noon.
