The Association Has Fallen\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compat was the newly appointed president of the Alchemists’ Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he should never have had the chance to take that position. The presidency had long been monopolized by several families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One family would finish its term, then another would take over, and so on. It had always been an arrangement that benefited them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation changed after the embezzlement of association funds was exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masterminds behind the scheme turned out to be two of the families that had long controlled the presidency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had secretly worked together to seize the profits for themselves and had deliberately excluded the third family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that third family discovered the truth, they attempted to distance themselves from the association and withdraw entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the other two families pushed a scapegoat forward, they firmly opposed the third family’s departure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then many committee members who did not belong to those families also demanded to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a fierce struggle in which no side could overpower the others, they finally decided to resolve the matter through a vote to determine the new president.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compat had been born in the City of Apprentices. His parents had both been alchemists in the Alchemists’ Association. Thanks to their long service, Compat inherited his father’s position as a committee member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he had no talent for mental power. He was neither an apprentice nor capable of brewing potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time came to run for president, he had simply written down his own name without much thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reasons he still did not understand, when the final tally was announced, he had received the most votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he had not reacted in time. The entire committee stared at him in astonishment, as though none of them had expected him to be elected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life after becoming president was not easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone with clear eyes could see that the association was doomed sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the advice of a friend, Compat decided that he would simply skim some money and run while he still could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, his appointment triggered a chain reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he took office, no one had any confidence in him. Two academies’ alchemists immediately declared independence from the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his friend’s guidance, the proposal he made to restructure the distribution of Energy Potions—carefully balancing the interests of all parties—was finally approved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, this year’s apprentice examinations had increased the number of available slots, causing many Senior Apprentices to grow eager and restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after the price increase, Energy Potions remained in short supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the association’s future even began to look bright again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energy Potions were simply too popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The association actually showed signs of reviving from the brink of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Compat thought about it for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he decided that perhaps the Alchemists’ Association could truly survive this crisis. If that happened, the value of his position as president would rise along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what happened next made him realize why the association had fallen to such a state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he attempted to expand the production of Energy Potions. Agreements had already been reached with the alchemists, but something went wrong during negotiations with the suppliers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people sent to coordinate with the suppliers discovered that the money had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The funds allocated to purchase materials had disappeared entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enraged, the supplier announced that they would no longer cooperate with the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future of the Alchemists’ Association immediately became uncertain again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, there was already little hope left. Without a supply of materials, even if they refined every remaining ingredient into potions, they would still face the problem of finding new suppliers afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compat himself had already given up and started grabbing as much money as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he soon discovered that the people under him were even greedier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some stole the materials during transportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others stole the potions after they were brought back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was forced to restore some order. If things continued like this, the association would run out of money entirely—and then there would be nothing left for him to skim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, just a few days ago, something unbelievable happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly two hundred bottles of Energy Potion suddenly appeared in the Apprentice Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number was outrageous. It almost matched the total output of the many alchemists maintained by the association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These potions quickly flooded the market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also cheaper than the association’s potions, causing the association’s stock to become unsellable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All alchemical materials transported into the City of Apprentices had to be registered by the association first, and that rule still applied this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After comparing the quantity of materials to the number of finished potions, Compat discovered that the conversion rate had exceeded the threshold of one potion per three attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the people at the market were all alchemical geniuses, each more skilled than the alchemists employed by the association?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he could only conclude that the market must have negotiated with a new supplier and obtained another batch of materials, which explained the sudden surge of potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was his final day as the president of the Alchemists’ Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the last day the association would exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today, the Alchemists’ Association would disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compat lay in the nearly empty president’s office, staring out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His greatest regret was that because the Energy Potions had become unsellable, the money he had skimmed was far less than he had hoped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock. Knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard a knocking sound and assumed someone was knocking on the door. When he turned his head, he discovered that the person was knocking on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door itself had already been sold for its decorative value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Compat. How does it feel to be the president?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not great, my friend. Dealing with those people is unbearable. None of my orders ever get carried out. Even making money has become exhausting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do not say that. This is a necessary experience for any businessman—if you want your wealth to grow further.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do not want that anymore. I plan to rest for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right. But I still have something that requires your help as president.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compat accepted several documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing through them, he realized they were applications for developing a piece of land in the name of the Alchemists’ Association. The money for laying the foundation had already been paid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there would probably be no more funding afterward. The association would no longer exist, so there would be no money left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is simple. I just need to stamp it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Thank you, my friend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, it was a trivial matter. Using his authority as president to approve it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone later discovered that two bodies had been buried under that land, the responsibility could not be pinned on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, of course, the bodies belonged to someone like a Senior Apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary apprentices probably would not matter, but apprentices who had already joined a school were considered valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something like that happened, his friend would not escape responsibility either. They would all be dragged in for interrogation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richter returned to his residence with a weary expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the exhaustion on his face, he could not hide his joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had survived the examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was not particularly good at managing relationships with others, he had found himself isolated during the assessment. Almost everyone seemed eager to kick him while he was down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But through hard work—and a bit of luck—he had managed to secure the 46th place in the examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had obtained something very interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you complete the task I assigned?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apprentice working in his workshop nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I checked it. That land has indeed been requisitioned by the Alchemists’ Association. Two members of the Construction School have already received orders. They will begin work on the site tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Did that apprentice receive the message?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apprentice nodded again before speaking hesitantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother… you only sent a letter. Will she really go there like you predicted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richter smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the letter, I wrote: ‘I know the secret behind your sudden change. Come to XXX and meet me.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am sixty percent certain she will go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, if you received such a letter, would you not at least feel curious enough to take a look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, if she is cautious enough… then we will simply go to her instead.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1426,"2026-06-06T12:21:11.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","d231c2db6de5c6a860cdc23675f3e20908db0baf36192e7c4d086ebf33498a1e","after-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-chapter-29","after-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-chapter-27",178,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-turning-into-a-girl-i-gained-a-game-panel-cover.jpg"]
