The Association Is Truly Doomed\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did you find so many Alchemists?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin looked at the twenty-six bottles of Energy Potion on the table and asked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elan slowly replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe the Alchemist I recruited is finally putting in some real effort. Although she told me that many of her friends asked her to sell them for them, I keep thinking there might be another possibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if the Alchemist I recruited is a once-in-a-millennium genius who can achieve a fifty percent success rate with Energy Potions? That would explain why she delivered so many potions in such a short time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And to avoid attracting attention, she deliberately said that she was just helping her friends sell them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin looked at him with a face full of exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you even talking about? Something like that is impossible. If such a person really existed, the head of the Alchemy School would probably kneel down and beg that Alchemist to join.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A success rate like that is pure fantasy. Honestly, your earlier guess that she is working as a middleman makes far more sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elan chuckled and took a sip of water before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, enough idle talk. What is happening with the association? Are they still holding on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin drank a mouthful of fruit wine before replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can only say that the situation is not optimistic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, it is the association whose situation is not optimistic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Recently they had another conflict with the Alchemists who produce Energy Potions. Several Alchemists simply stopped producing them altogether, which caused the output of Energy Potions to drop again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What happened this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The inspector they sent to negotiate with the Alchemists got greedy. He secretly kept some of the recovered Energy Potions and pretended those were failed batches.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He then quietly sold the potions to several Senior Apprentices he knew in order to make a profit…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elan’s smile faded. He tapped the table lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The association is still the same as always. When I was preparing for my assessment back then, I also had to buy from those inspectors who sold things privately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every time the assessments approached, the Alchemists’ Association would claim they had prepared a large supply of materials and that there would be no shortage of potions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the result was always the same. My junior brother took the assessment three times before becoming a formal mage. He said that every single time there was a shortage, and he had to run around buying potions everywhere. It drove him crazy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elan continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, there is another matter. An inspector from the association somehow obtained a large batch of materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Another batch of materials? It seems the association is not destined to collapse after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is not that the association is safe. It is just that someone has found another way to bleed the association.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You and I both know that the association’s material suppliers have been reducing the quota they send to Lodris.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They saw that such a huge scandal had occurred within the association and no longer believe in its future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now the association can hardly purchase materials in large quantities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is why this batch of materials is especially valuable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That inspector plans to sell the materials back to the association and make a fortune.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin leaned forward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So how did the association discover it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The association only discovered the problem with the materials. During inspection, they found the special inventory identification plates used in the association’s own warehouse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The seller escaped quickly. Only a few sample materials that were being inspected were left behind. Most of the goods are still in his hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But he still needs to sell them. If he keeps them, they will eventually become nothing more than useless weeds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he came to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I contacted the Alchemist I work with. Coincidentally, she was complaining that the association’s materials had suddenly become more expensive. In the end, she bought more than one hundred sets…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin finished her glass of fruit wine and poured herself another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what about the association? Have they discovered which warehouse the materials came from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The association wanted to conduct a full inspection of all warehouses. The newly appointed president even declared that if they investigated thoroughly, they would certainly uncover another thousand sets of materials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin could not help laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think he will never manage to finish inspecting even a single warehouse. Over the years, too many accounts have turned into unsolvable messes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. His proposal to inspect all warehouses was rejected by every member of the Committee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And just like that, the matter was quietly dropped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Selin sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, we might not even need to take action. The association might collapse on its own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the association has not collapsed yet…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged glances, both showing a hint of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Energy Potions were simply too profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—rather, those Senior Apprentices were too wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the association in such chaos, the money from those apprentices was still enough to keep the entire organization afloat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this scandal had happened two months earlier, the association would probably have already collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What am I supposed to do with these materials? I am not an Alchemist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richter said irritably to the man in luxurious clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Richter, do not be like that. This batch of goods is excellent. You know that Energy Potions are essential items for apprentices like you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imagine this: you are holding a surgical knife, and suddenly you come up with a brilliant idea—perhaps even the prototype of a new spell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But then you feel extremely tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know that if you stop at that moment, the inspiration might disappear forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And that is when a bottle of Energy Potion—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. I did not call you here to talk about this. If you continue, I will—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man immediately fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard of Richter’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among Senior Apprentices, Richter was known as a madman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since becoming a Senior Apprentice, he had secretly killed several apprentices and had been responsible for the deaths of at least a hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were not for the protection of the Modification School and the talent he had demonstrated, he would have been dealt with long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Then why did you ask to meet me? Let me make one thing clear: I will not help you smuggle corpses into this place again. If you want to do that, you will have to leave Cuilan Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richter’s face darkened as he interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will not leave Cuilan Academy before the assessment. And that is not what I want you to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was not about transporting corpses, then why had Richter contacted him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their previous dealings had only involved transporting bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he mentioned it just now was simply to raise the price, hoping Richter would offer more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Richter’s situation was infamous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hated by nearly everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stepped outside and was discovered, he probably would not return alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if Richter failed to achieve a good ranking in this assessment, simply passing would not be enough. Without an impressive result, the Modification School would no longer protect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am talking about something that will happen after the assessment,” Richter said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is an apprentice who interests me. I need a secure location.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man thought for a moment and understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if you do not come back from the assessment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not finish the sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he meant was obvious: What if Richter died and could not pay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will pay you in full right now. Just do what I say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the payment was made in advance, then there was no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the night your assessment ends, the barren land south of Cuilan Academy will likely be claimed by the Alchemists’ Association—assuming it still exists.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next day, magical craftsmen will turn all the soil into mud and build foundations there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And everything will be buried underneath.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-06T12:21:11.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","9bcd6fcf804c8d00d56706e3864f52aa297a769e2c9c0c9b3bbfb436ab765498","after-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-chapter-24","after-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-chapter-22",178,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-cover.jpg"]
