47: Chapter 0047 Promotion

One week later...

On the main roads of Gele City and Gray Mist Mountain Town, seven models of rainbow-colored mass-produced little sorcerer donkeys zipped by like flowing iridescence:

The Crimson Flame Red model had flame runes carved on its frame.

The Orange Glow Orange model had citrus aromatherapy hanging from its basket.

The Lemon Yellow model had sun magic patterns inlaid in its pedals.

The Mint Green model had vine carvings wrapped around its handlebars.

The Sky Azure Blue model had water ripple halos emanating from its wheel rims.

The Amethyst Purple model had stardust glitter embroidered on its seat.

And the Moon White model had silver-white mist patterns floating on its body.

Their alloy frames were decorated with small gears, the front baskets could hold vegetable baskets, and shopping bags hung from the handlebars.

They possessed the sturdiness of machinery yet were full of the warmth of everyday life, and the faint glow of circulating runes added a touch of the magical.

As they sped through, they attracted the envious gazes of many passersby.

The first generation little sorcerer donkey had a top speed of 60km/h, and customers could choose from seven rainbow colors for the exterior.

The first week's batch of 1,000 units had all been delivered, sparking a fervent reaction.

More and more people in Gele City were inquiring about the stories of the little sorcerer donkey and Changxing.

Even the issue of the Gele Commercial Gazette that first documented the "witchcraft motorcycle" was reprinted multiple times.

If you can't buy a little sorcerer donkey, you must buy a newspaper!

A newspaper judged by its timeliness actually being demanded by customers for resale as old news became a small, strange tale in the history of journalism.

In the small building of the Commercial Gazette, the pleasant laughter of Lilith, who had been promoted to editor-in-charge, could often be heard:

"Haha! I knew this magical witchcraft motorcycle would become Gele City's headline, the real headline!"

The production of the first batch of 1,000 units took nearly 10 days in total.

Afterward, Felina specially organized special meetings for the factory's management personnel and the Infinite Studio, implementing organizational optimization in logistics supply chains and assembly line processes.

The delivery cycle for the second batch of 1,000 units was compressed to seven days.

Due to process requirements, this was already the fastest time, but perhaps as workers became more proficient with the production line, output could increase to some extent.

Once the market was fully opened and Monte Province was prepared, Li Size would naturally expand the factory again.

For the second batch of goods, Li Size decided to allocate 800 units to Gele City, although this was far from enough to meet the city's demand.

Of the remaining 200 units, 100 would go to Gray Mist Mountain Town. Although Gelia's police department needed 120 units, Li Size was powerless at the moment.

The remaining 100 units were prepared for the neighboring Xuyang Town.

The town mayor, after witnessing the little sorcerer donkey in Gele City, specifically wrote a letter to Li Size requesting that he also sell the little sorcerer donkey in Desire Town.

The situation was overwhelmingly positive!

The payment for the first batch of goods had been fully received, with a transaction value of 250 gold coins. Because of the large output, the cost dropped to 13 silver coins per unit, yielding a profit of 120 gold coins!

Li Size, as a good citizen, promptly paid the 10% transaction tax on the profit.

At the year-end accounting, Gray Mist Mountain Town awarded him the "Gray Mist Mountain's Top Taxpayer" medal.

This became another amusing anecdote in the town.

Li Size gave 20 gold coins to Felina, which was the agreed-upon 20% share of the earnings.

Just like that, in barely two months, more than half of Felina's sister's treatment fees had been collected.

Next month, the treatment fees would be fully covered, making Felina feel that she had truly chosen the right person.

Meanwhile, Li Size quietly absorbed his recent gains:

[Consumed 400 energy points, Mental Energy increased by 0.1, Current Mental Energy 3.1]

[Consumed 400 energy points, Mental Energy increased by 0.1, Current Mental Energy 3.2]

...He directly used Pay-to-Win to consume 80 gold coins and raise his Mental Energy attribute to 4.0.

The standard for raising every subsequent 0.1 point of Mental Energy had now increased to 800 energy points, so Li Size chose to pause.

He felt his illusory consciousness space was more stable, his brain was clearer, and his comprehension ability had become stronger.

Furthermore, the increase in Mental Energy gave him higher resistance to abnormal conditions affecting the Soul, and he faintly sensed the surrounding subtle environmental changes more strongly.

He could detect impending crises faster.

For a Wizard Apprentice, an increase in Mental Energy had an even more direct benefit:

He realized that the number of times he could cast Wizards Hand had increased by 5 times.

He currently needed about 0.2 Mental Energy to cast this relatively low-level Zero-Ring Sorcery.

Most Zero Ring Sorceries would consume no more than 0.5 Mental Energy.

And with every point increase in Mental Energy, the effect of the sorceries he cast increased by about one-tenth.

A Mental Energy attribute of 4.0 already far exceeded the passing line for the Wizard Apprentice entrance examination.

Institutions of mid-to-upper level standard in the Higher Academy seemed to be beckoning to Li Size.

But with Pay-to-Win in hand, Li Size was naturally not satisfied with these mid-ranked academies.

It was possible to strive for the top spot nationally with a bit more effort; the next step depended on his ability to earn money.

The annual qualification exam was in June anyway, so he still had time.

Counting the usable portion of the energy points from the recent second batch payment from the academy and Rice, he had over 1200 points remaining.

Li Size recalled the previous Analysis records; the advanced knowledge for the Wizard Apprentice stage sent by Felina and Felin had all arrived.

He was now enjoying the benefits of Analysis's rapid memorization and understanding, and he absolutely did not want to flip through books page by page.

At that time, he was short on cash and couldn't use Analysis without energy points, so that knowledge couldn't be timely converted into his strength.

Now that he had surplus energy points, he 'studied' (Pay-to-Win) without hesitation, as knowledge was truly the Origin of a wizard's power.

[Consumed 100 energy points, Analyzed Zero-Ring Sorcery Ice Arrow Spell (Beginner)]

Ice Arrow Spell (Beginner 0/100)

Note: Through your improved understanding of energy particles, you have gradually grasped the connection between these runes and energy particles.

Through this connection, you can stably construct the magic model of the Ice Arrow Spell in your consciousness space, thereby casting the sorcery.

Sorcery Level: 1 Demonic Energy, carries a temperature of minus thirty degrees Celsius causing localized frostbite.

[Consumed 120 energy points, Analyzed Zero-Ring Sorcery Firebolt Spell (Beginner)]

Firebolt Spell (Beginner 0/100)

Note: You have mastered the characteristics of fire-attribute energy particles and their corresponding runes, and you are adept at the corresponding magic rune model.

You can now cast this sorcery stably.

Sorcery Level: 2 Demonic Energy, carries a scorching temperature of six hundred degrees Celsius.

These were the only two common sorceries that Felina managed to acquire for Li Size by asking her former academy girlfriends to trade for them at the academy.

This cost Felina nearly twenty gold coins.

Since the 'little sorcerer donkey' went online, she no longer worried about gold coins.

She felt she shouldn't just enjoy Li Size's contributions; she should also help him.

Thus, she contacted old schoolmates she could still reach, hoping to acquire more knowledge or magic models for Li Size through various channels.

This was still somewhat difficult.

The authorities controlled this knowledge quite strictly; it could only be obtained at academies or major organizations.

Major official organizations valued status and merit points, whereas academies were relatively more lenient.

One could acquire them using points at a lower price, as the academy's goal was to cultivate talented magic users.

Compared to the academy, the price Felina paid was nearly 50% higher than what a student would pay at the academy.

This demonstrated the Crimson Soul Duchy's emphasis on education.

With these two new Zero Ring Sorceries, Li Size could finally be considered barely resembling a Wizard Apprentice.

Previously, having only the Zero-Ring Sorcery Wizards Hand, Li Size was too embarrassed to claim he was a Wizard Apprentice.
