129: Chapter 128 Robot
After that elf, things returned to how they were before: the Short, chubby man spoke from the side, and Byron listened.
Primates with the Bloodline of mountain giants, green-skinned goblins living underground, tree spirits that looked like large trees but possessed intelligence...
Although the varieties were complex and diverse, each with their own characteristics, none of these subsequent slaves were as stunning as the first elf, and they could not meet the requirement for a Laboratory assistant.
Another room was pushed over, containing an extremely ferocious humanoid creature with thick limbs and four fangs—top and bottom—exposed outside its mouth.
Seeing this guy, the Short, chubby man became excited and began to introduce it with great enthusiasm.
"My lord, this is an Orc from Delawen. Its body contains unparalleled power. Even as an infant, it killed and devoured all its siblings. It is extremely ferocious, and used to..."
But as he spoke, he saw Byron's expressionless face and swallowed his words back.
Byron said in a calm voice: "I am currently looking to select an assistant to help me complete my experiments. Tell me, what is the use of me picking this thing up and taking it back? How can it help with my experiments?"
Once these words were spoken, a sheepish smile appeared on the Short, chubby man's face, and he nodded repeatedly to apologize.
In his heart, he was continuously cursing the staff member who had sent this Orc up; they had even messed up his requirements and made him lose face.
Listening to the Short, chubby man's apology, Byron waved his hand: "Forget it, next one. I hope the next one will satisfy me."
Updates are not easy; remember to share on 101 Reading Website.
Hearing this, the Short, chubby man finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed inwardly.
Is this the oppression of a Wizard? How enviable. If only he didn't lack the Aptitude to become a Wizard, he wouldn't be here working hard selling slaves, but rather, like Byron, studying in an academy.
However, after sighing, he quickly composed himself and served Byron with an even more passionate attitude.
Although he was stuck like this for the rest of his life and had no way to become a Wizard, his descendants still had hope.
Therefore, he needed to work harder to create a good environment for them, so they could become a Wizard like the person in front of him!
It was precisely for this reason that this Short, chubby man was willing to come to this Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy to expand the influence of the Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce, giving up his previous superior life.
Afterward, he introduced several more slaves from other worlds, but none of them met Byron's requirements.
Another new room was sent over, and Byron looked over with a slightly casual gaze.
Originally, he hadn't held much hope for this one either, but with just one glance, his gaze was drawn to it, unable to look away.
Standing in that room was a creature with an appearance indistinguishable from a human.
But Byron could be very certain that this creature was not a human!
Because its eyes lacked any emotion, just like a robot.
A robot?!
Byron suddenly realized; come to think of it, this guy really might be a robot!
After all, firearms had already appeared in this world, so why couldn't robots appear too?
And the subsequent introduction by the Short, chubby man confirmed Byron's guess.
"This is a bionic robot from the 101 World. It has an appearance just like a human, and it is something similar to the golems and Puppets in our world."
"Because its body structure is the same as ours, it can use the things we can use. By equipping it with different items, it can meet the requirements of different environments."
Speaking up to this point, the Short, chubby man noticed the interested look in Byron's eyes and hurriedly whispered a reminder.
"My lord, don't be tempted just because it's introduced so well and is mass-produced and relatively cheap. In fact, its flaws are also very obvious."
"Its intelligence cannot compare to those living things; it can only understand some simple commands. That's why many customers of the Beilike Slave Chamber of Commerce give bad reviews not long after buying it and taking it back."
The reason the Short, chubby man reminded Byron was because he knew Byron was a big client. If this bionic robot caused his impression to worsen, future orders would be a disaster.
But upon hearing the reminder, Byron became even more interested.
"Since you say this thing is cheap, how much does it actually cost?"
Hearing this, the Short, chubby man knew that Byron had not taken his advice to heart and was even more interested in it.
However, since Byron had asked for the price, he certainly had to answer.
"The original price of this thing is only 150 Magic Stones, and after the discount through my authority, you only need to pay 99 Magic Stones."
Hearing that it was so cheap, Byron became even more tempted. Without too much hesitation, he nodded and said.
"I'll buy this one. Put it aside."
Regarding this, the Short, chubby man could only resign himself to fate, just praying in his heart that Byron wouldn't form a bad impression of the chamber of commerce because of this matter.
After directing the staff to move this item to the side, the Short, chubby man continued to introduce other creatures to Byron.
Among the creatures that appeared afterward, a few did pique Byron's interest.
For example, a creature that looked like a flying carpet. It originated from a world covered by water, floating and flying in the sky its whole life.
In addition, its size was large, so it could be used as a flight tool.
There was also a semi-elemental creature made entirely of stone, a Stone Man.
It could easily mobilize the power of the Rock Element, and within a very short time, construct a defense sufficient to withstand the wizardry attack of a First-Rank Wizard Apprentice.
There were also half-human, half-fish merfolk...
However, although these creatures piqued Byron's interest in some aspect, he did not buy them all.
Because they were not cost-effective; compared to being Laboratory assistants, they were more suitable as experimental materials.
However, if it were only for experimental materials, then there was no need for Byron to buy such expensive ones.
Dead ones are much cheaper than living ones, and as it happened, the Short, chubby man also did business in experimental materials.
In the end, Byron did not find an assistant that met his wishes, so he only bought that elf and the bionic robot.
Besides that, Byron also purchased enough Korolo to propagate a population.
This creature was transparent all over, and its internal organs could be clearly seen, allowing the reaction of potions inside its body to be clearly observed.
Its size was about the same as a mouse, and its reproductive ability was even stronger than a mouse's.
Therefore, ever since this creature was discovered, it became the exclusive creature for Potion Masters to conduct research and test medicine.
Every Potion Master with a Laboratory would buy some to raise.
And some alchemists would also buy some of these things.
However, unlike Potion Masters who had it ingest the medicine, they used it for external application.
As for experimental materials, as mentioned above, corpses were much cheaper than living creatures, and on top of that, Byron enjoyed a discount.
Byron, of course, bought extensively; whatever he took a liking to, he bought without hesitation.
However, he did not use all his Magic Stones to buy experimental materials; he still kept the Magic Stones needed for what was coming next.
Finally, the Short, chubby man's fawning smile almost filled his entire face as he escorted Byron out of the slave workshop, patting his chest to guarantee that he would deliver the items Byron purchased to the Laboratory in their entirety.
Even when Byron left the slave workshop and his back had disappeared from view, he still stood in place, gazing into the distance, waving goodbye!
