Chapter 665: As Everyone Knows, Consumables Are the Most Profitable

Empress: "@Star, when discussing that, it seems you hadn't joined yet either, right?"

Justice: "Hm? There's still this kind of thing?"

Previously he thought it was because of the reason that he entered late, so he missed a lot of exchanges; this kind of thing was very normal, nothing to say about it.

But he didn't expect the other party was actually the same as himself.

As a result, she even put on an act, even deceiving himself?

At this moment, Riesling, who was just blocked by Ruan Qingyi's words, had a feeling of being played.

Justice: "Star, you guy, I didn't expect you to actually be this kind of person."

Star: "I don't remember. However, although I might not have been there previously, I also heard about it from the Pope later."

The exposed Ruan Qingyi didn't care in the slightest; instead, she immediately opened her mouth to defend herself.

It was exactly the chat logs she saw at that time.

So that was why she was able to connect with Lan Qingyou's train of thought at the first moment.

Tower: "Mm, it indeed is a thing discussed before."

Ignoring the off-topic discussions of the few people, Lan Qingyou directly revealed the answer.

Tower: "Previously when chatting about this topic, I remember didn't someone speak of the topic of using mana as clothes?"

Tower: "A few days ago, after listening to Star's comparison of seawater and air, I instantly thought of this possibility: that is to directly cover the surface of one's clothes with one's own mana to form a barrier to reduce the influence of external mana on oneself."

Tower: "Putting it plainly, it's just like using mana to put on a buffering suit made of mana for oneself. No matter how harsh the natural environment outside is, its mana can all be offset by this magic outer garment."

Tower: "Of course, what is spoken of here is pure mana. If it's physical, then one needs to take refuge oneself. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, they cannot confront a tornado."

Magic outer garment.

Just like Lan Qingyou said, facing the invasion of external mana, one only needed to construct a barrier and it would do.

Actually, it was the exact same principle as the Magic Shields on things like shelters and cities.

It was just that this time it changed from buildings or inanimate objects to a living, breathing person.

It would be better to say the initial design concept of this 'outer garment' was precisely to be used as a buffer zone like seawater.

As a result, during development, that inspiration that was originally only a little bit gradually expanded, and ultimately turned from 'buffering' into 'offsetting'.

Mm, a matter common among R&D personnel; there was no need to investigate deeply.

As expected.

After seeing Lan Qingyou's message, Ruan Qingyi revealed an appearance of 'it really is so'.

It was indeed exactly the same as what she had just thought of.

But this way, there similarly existed a very large problem.

Star: "If it's like this, then how to resolve the mana? Compared to the mana of the natural world, the mana of an individual is ultimately limited. If one normally walks outside like this, I believe the mana should be consumed very quickly, right."

Magician: "Indeed."

Chariot: "According to this look, I estimate even if one drinks a top-tier Mana Potion, it also wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed of consumption, right."

Although everyone's levels had risen now, and they were also all Evolvers, so their Mana Values ranged from three thousand to seven or eight thousand.

Just this still belonged to the top batch of people on the Karim Continent. If it were changed to others, I'm afraid that bit of mana wouldn't even be able to hold out for three minutes, right.

Tower: "I know, so based on making clear the principle, wouldn't it do to develop this kind of bodily-attachment device?"

This question actually couldn't stump Lan Qingyou.

Originally, Lan Qingyou also didn't truly want to court death by wandering around everywhere in Mana Turbulence.

It would be better to say this was originally a magic she wanted to develop in order to deal with the Mana Derangement Device; it was just that this group of people in the group thought too much.

Chariot: "Hm? A device? If you say this, then I won't sleep."

Justice: "What was it, a device like a spacesuit?"

Moon: "Too high-end, not suitable for taking the commercial route."

Shang Chuan popped out a sentence at this time.

As a Cunning Merchant, from a commercial angle, if this thing could truly be made, it was absolutely a thing even more massively profitable than the engraving potion.

After all, the engraving potion was a one-time use item.

Each person only needed to use it once and could successfully change classes.

But this kind of magic outer garment was a consumable.

What is the most profitable?

Look at the Alchemists and you'll know: consumables are the most profitable things.

So the meaning of this Cunning Merchant Shang Chuan opening his mouth at this time was self-evident.

He truly wanted the agency rights to this thing; not needing the entire continent, even if it was just the agency rights to the central-western region, it was enough for him to earn pots full and bowls full.

It was still that sentence: compared to the money earned, what Shang Chuan liked more was the feeling of earning money.

So compared to other cunning merchants, this guy was truly willing to give money to his subordinates.

Also because of this, it gave him a large batch of loyal followers.

Tower: "My assumption is my basic theory, plus Star's enchanting technology, plus Chariot's manufacturing technology; the thing produced this way should be able to compress costs to a certain extent."

Star: "Your meaning is to resolve the problem of insufficient mana in the final step through enchanting?"

When smart people speak, they always just touch upon the point.

Although Lan Qingyou and Ruan Qingyi couldn't be said to be so smart as to defy the heavens, when it involved their own professional domains, they still had the right to speak.

Not to mention that among the three directions Lan Qingyou proposed, her direction precisely belonged to the finally implemented part.

So resolving the problem of insufficient mana naturally fell onto her body.

Tower: "Right, and using enchanting technology to draw the Magic Array I developed."

Star: "A Magic Array? To be honest, I haven't drawn one; it feels like it would be very complicated."

Tower: "Having the foundation of symbology will do. Let's make a few experimental products first to see the situation, and then carry out improvements."

Moon: "Is it like this."

Shang Chuan, who knew the formidableness of the three, also admitted that this idea of Lan Qingyou's was very good, but in his view, the cost would still be very high.

Especially this piece of enchanting.

Although he wasn't some researcher, the 'most stable enchanting material' currently on the market was Thorium Powder.

Just how high the value of this thing was didn't need to be said.

So just this one item alone would at least have to pull up the overall cost by eighty percent.

Although there was also the saying of settling for the next best thing.

But whether it was enchanting patterns or magic arrays drawn by other powders or inks, none of them were as stable as this thing.

If a problem suddenly appeared some day, that would be a major quality control accident.

Although according to this world there wasn't any law to speak of, that is.

Of course, this was his personal guess.

Before the actual verification machine came out, no one knew the specific cost.

Moon: "If it's like this, it indeed can compress some costs, but how to resolve the problem of materials? That should be the bulk of it, right?"

So, the Cunning Merchant asked out his doubts.
