Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique-Chapter 104 - 99: Return Gift 2

Chapter 104: Chapter 99: Return Gift 2

Translator: 549690339

“Today, our Lucia Potion Shop proudly launches a total of sixteen new potions…”

Sophie Lucia’s voice resonated, clear and fluent, making a smooth and error-free start.

With just one more minute, Sophie Lucia could finish her opening task. Later on, she would act as the presenter for the new fragrance series, explaining and selling to guests interested in the new fragrances.

However, at this moment, the presentation from the Serene Potion Shop began to upstage.

Two days prior when Link was chatting with Jasmine, he heard her discussing with Sharia, Ayla, and Tina about how to start the presentation to attract more attention. He casually mentioned: “The conventional hosts are too ordinary Breaking an expensive potion on the spot would make a much better impact.” For an unknown reason, this statement reached the ears of the Serene Wizard. Unexpectedly, the Serene Wizard decided to adopt this approach and specifically asked Link for advice on which potion to smash.

Link reluctantly gave a suggestion.

A mournful sound of music echoed, instantly drowning out Sophie Lucia’s voice.

Most people in the showroom turned their attention toward it.

The Serene Wizard stepped on the stage and smashed a potion without a word. A strange smell spread out.

Threads of “sweetness” surfaced in everyone’s heart, as if returning to the most “blissful” moments in life.

Coming with high spirits, leaving with joy.

What a celebration!

This potion was worth a full 10 units of standard Tier-2 Magic Stones. It was a proud masterpiece of the Serene Wizard, developed over four years and only successfully produced after she returned to her homeland.

The potion, named “Regret”, induces the recollection of the most regretful moments in one’s life. It intensively stimulates emotions with the potential customer base being Tier-3 Wizards.

Because wizards emphasize rationality, not inhumane indifference. 𝐟𝗿ee𝘄𝗲𝗯𝐧o𝘃el.𝐜o𝚖

Many senior Tier-3 wizards tend to become too indifferent, affecting their humanity, which is not conducive to resonating with the World’s consciousness.

Resonance, not assimilation.

The World consciousness must be impartial, and humans are not mechanical. They must have human nature, individuality.

Otherwise, in the face of various impacts, they may easily become puppets of knowledge and power, rather than wizards controlling them.

The stimulation of regret on human nature is much more intense and direct than positive emotions such as happiness, love, etc..

Therefore, this potion definitely does not lack buyers, and it is absolutely a fine masterpiece!

With this “Regret” potion, the title of Master Potion Maker, or Great Potion Maker, would definitely be bestowed upon the Serene Wizard once she becomes a Sage!

Just like Percy Sage, who is respectfully referred to as the Grand Alchemist.

A touch of pity flashed across Link’s eyes.

10 units of standard Tier-2 Magic Stones, equivalent to 10,000 units of standard Tier-i Magic Stones with market value.

Just got smashed like that!

However, expensive things have their reasons.

The “Regret” potion dispersed, triggered by the particular method of the Serene Wizard, and the smell pervaded the entire first-floor hall.

All attention was immediately drawn to it.

Peter Lionel and Zoran Lucia were no exceptions.

Sophie Lucia, who was in the middle of hosting, started crying like the pear blossoms bathed in the rain, no idea what to do.

She remembered the moment in her life when she overlooked the rustic Newblood due to her shortsightedness, and lost the position of Deputy Director of the Third Botanical Garden which she got after much effort.

Forgive her for her shallow life experience, she merely regretted this much in her life.

Peter Lionel had the most significant reaction among everyone, crying out loud in public, beating his chest and stomping his feet, moaning, repeatedly shouting out: “Wand! Wand! My Wand!”

He was reminded of the bitter past from a decade ago.

In a Secret Realm, he was too absorbed in admiring the splendidly beautiful Percy Sage’s Diamond, that Wizard Palo stole the Percy Sage’s Wand right under his nose.

Although Peter Lionel was in his Metamorphosis Period with special circumstances, other Tier 3 Wizards were similarly affected by the “Regret­potion, showing significant emotional responses.

The Serene Wizard waved her hand gently to disperse the potion smell, seizing the moment to make the opening:

“Welcome everyone to my new product presentation.

This presentation is divided into three parts:

Firstly, this potion, which I’ve named “Painful Regret”, is sold exclusively to Tier 3 wizards, priced at 10 standard Tier 2 magic stones.

They’re limited, due to the difficulty of making them. Hurry if you want one – those who are interested can make a reservation.

Secondly, there are six potions for Tier 1 and Tier 2 wizards, divided into daily use, practice, and battle categories, two for each category. Those who are interested can look up the information themselves.

Lastly, we have the main feature of this new product presentation. Developed independently by the potion study prodigy favored by Wizard Palo, Link Grande, a first-year Newblood from the Southern District’s Junior Division. He’s created a Glasswort series of products, including Aromatherapy Essential Oil, fragrance, and perfume.

Now, we invite First-year Newblood, Link Grande, to introduce the Glasswort Series.”

The wizards and wizard apprentices whose attention had been hijacked, the staff of the Lucia Family Potion Shop and the exhibition center, nearly ’ everyone present showed unusual expressions on their faces.

Hmm…

You’re playing quite a game.

Smashing a cherished potion worth 10 standard Tier 2 magic stones just so everyone can listen to a First-year Newblood’s product presentation?

Tsk, typical of the rich and powerful. Talent unrestrained.

Even without the effect of the “Painful Regret” potion, the majority of people’s attention had shifted to the east.

Having come to terms with the situation, Sophie Lucia wiped away her tears and prepared to continue hosting the presentation. Seeing that only a handful of people were still paying attention to her, she felt complicated.

Under the watch of many wizards, Link walked onstage with a steady pace. He was not at all nervous as he loudly announced, “The Glasswort Series is directly targeting our competitor’s new fragrance series.

We solemnly promise that even if it’s not superior, it’s at least not inferior than our competitor’s, and more importantly, the price is the same!

It won’t be a single magic stone more or less. Whatever price the competitor sells at, we’ll sell at that price.”

This pricing strategy was decided by Wizard Palo.

Nothing fancy, just do it!

“We welcome everyone to keep track of both our sales and compare them. Let the sales and reviews speak for themselves; let’s see which of us sells superior products and which one inferior!”

Having finished talking about the pricing, Link dropped another bombshell. Since Wizard Palo had given up using the well-known “Painful Regret” potion to stir things up and decided to use the Glasswort Series as an entry point, and the First-year Newblood as a gimmick to slap Zoran Lucia’s face and “repay” Peter Lionel, they couldn’t let this become a non-issue.

What’s more topical than issuing a sales challenge directly? What?

You say you won’t accept this challenge?

Dare to lose face? Dare to damage your reputation?”

With that, Link’s moment in the spotlight ended. Making an appearance, saying a few lines, it was very simple.

But the meaning behind it was not simple at all.

For a long time afterward, Link will be living under the “spotlight,” unable to keep a low profile.

Only then did Wizard Palo show himself, with a bright smile on his face, greeting the Tier 3 wizards present before turning to the grim-faced Peter Lionel and the expressionless Zoran Archie.

“Peter, Zoran, it’s been a while.”

With a wave of his hand and a laugh, Wizard Palo glanced at Sophie Lucia who was standing awkwardly on the stage, unsure whether to continue hosting or to step down. “Tsk… are you guys really that short of magic stones? You could at least hire a more professional host.”

That comment hit hard.

Sophie Lucia turned pale immediately.

She had done poorly as a host due to their unreasonable tactics, which was not her fault.

But with Wizard Palo’s comment, it seemed as if her own quality was too low for her to maintain order.

This could affect her image in the eyes of her cousin Zoran, and affect how her family perceived her!

In a large family, where there are many members, life is very complicated!

“Palo, that’s crossing the line.”

Peter Lionel had to use a calming spell to stabilize Sophie Lucia’s emotions, then said in a deep voice, “Abusing your power to bully the weak, are you proud of yourself?”

“Ah! I’m sure I was wrong about that, I admit it!”

Wizard Palo shamelessly admitted his wrongdoing right away then gave Link a knowing look, “I’ll apologize right away.”

Link got the hint, reluctantly picked up a complete set of Glasswort products and, under Wizard Palo’s invisible protection, he moved through the crowd and handed the products to Sophie Lucia:

“This is a gift for you, I hope you like it!”
