Chapter 171: Verification and Gap

"Since you've thought everything through and made your decision, I won't say much more. After all, this transaction doesn't have any downsides for me."

Saying this, Isolde paused slightly before continuing.

"However, all of this is conditional on your data and what you've said being completely free of issues."

"If there are major errors and omissions within them, then I'm sorry, but I cannot compromise my own interests. Do you understand this?"

Byron nodded, indicating that he understood and comprehended, but he still couldn't help asking.

"But Mentor, all my verification processes and data are right here, you..."

Isolde waved her hand to interrupt Byron's words: "You must know, Byron, both verification processes and data can be altered."

"If you blindly believe what is written on paper without verifying it yourself, you will suffer a massive loss."

Hearing this, the corner of Byron's eye twitched, and he felt somewhat speechless inside.

He hadn't expected that academic fraud and data tampering would also occur in the Wizard World.

Sure enough, this kind of thing required no one to teach it; people could master it instinctively.

He just wondered how long it would take for academic oligarchs, factions... and other such deformed products to emerge.

At this moment, Byron no longer doubted the existence of these things; he was just wondering how long it would take for them to appear in his field of vision and for him to encounter them.

"Byron, come upstairs to the second floor with me and see whether the potion you described as being so powerful is real or not."

After finishing her words, Isolde slowly stood up and walked toward the second floor.

Hearing this, Byron didn't hesitate and immediately followed behind Isolde, coming together to the second-floor Laboratory.

Upon entering the Laboratory, Isolde stopped talking to Byron and busied herself with finding the Materials needed for the apprentice Mental Energy Perfection potion one by one, processing them according to the steps on the recipe.

After matching and processing all the Materials, Isolde immediately began preparing the potion.

As for Byron, he stood to the side quietly watching all of this at this moment.

Seeing Isolde's flowing and smooth movements, Byron couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

Even when refining this type of potion for the first time, Mentor Isolde could still reach such a level; it was truly astonishing.

This also made Byron understand that the gap between the two of them could not be matched simply by a few advanced instruments.

Is this the true strength of a Potion Master? It is truly astonishing!

Without spending much time, Isolde formulated the potion and obtained more precise data than Byron's through the analyzer.

Seeing that there were no issues with the data, the huge experimental table in the Laboratory suddenly split open, and a bizarre creature bound all over was sent up, lying steadily on top of the experimental table.

If not for the creature being far too ugly and having some extra things on its body, such as the special horns on its head and the tail behind its back, Byron would have truly thought this thing was a human.

However, the moment he saw this creature, Byron also understood what its intention for appearing here was.

He couldn't help sighing in his heart that Official Wizards were truly wealthy; the creatures used for testing drugs were not small creatures like Corolo, but rather another kind of creature with a structure not much different from humans.

If he were also to use this kind of creature for testing drugs...

Thinking of this, Byron couldn't help thinking of the consumption speed of his own Laboratory, and hurriedly denied the thought in his heart.

If he were to use creatures the same as Mentor Isolde for drug testing, I'm afraid that after a single experiment, he would be completely bankrupt.

Just as Byron was pondering, Isolde also lifted that bottle of refined potion and poured it directly into the creature's mouth.

Subsequently, under Byron's bewildered gaze, a barrier suddenly emerged from the experimental table, wrapping the creature that drank the potion within it.

The next moment, the events within that barrier seemed as though they had been pressed with an acceleration button; a complete stage that originally required a full day to complete was now finished in just a few short minutes.

Seeing this scene, Byron seemed to realize something, looking at the barrier and the experimental table with burning eyes.

Isolde seemed to know what Byron was thinking inside, and spoke straightforwardly.

"Byron, this thing is not something you can covet right now. Even if you take out a few more potion formulas like this, you still cannot exchange for it."

"Because these two things are simply not on the same level; no matter how large the quantity is, it cannot offset a qualitative change."

Byron nodded slightly; he was just fantasizing for a moment and didn't really want this thing. After all, he still knew his own limitations.

And he also understood that one cannot become a fat person in a single bite; his current strength was still too low.

At the same time, rows of dense data also displayed on the barrier, resembling the physical and mental condition of that creature.

After looking closely for a moment and finding no problems, Isolde slowly nodded, and that creature was once again swallowed by the experimental table, not knowing where it was sent.

However, according to Byron's guess, it was very likely that the creature was sent back to that underground factory to continue laboring.

After all, as long as it wasn't dead, how could they possibly let it rest?

You must know that in the concepts of Wizards, a slave resting for a minute equaled a loss of a minute's worth of their own interests.

No, thinking of this, Byron's expression suddenly became somewhat strange, and he suddenly recalled those scenes he had seen underground.

In that case, it seemed he had gotten something slightly wrong; it should be that even death offers no way to rest.

Isolde and Byron returned to the first floor and sat on the sofa.

Holding that thin potion recipe in her hand, Isolde looked at Byron and said: "Byron, it seems you haven't been affected and are still quite honest."

"Through my experiment, not only is there no falsification on the experimental report you gave me—exaggerating the potion's advantages or minimizing its flaws—it even appears somewhat conservative."

"I am very satisfied with this potion recipe of yours. Name a price; as long as it's reasonable, I will buy it."

Hearing this, Byron's expression also shook, and he looked spiritedly at Mentor Isolde.

He had been waiting precisely for these words!

A trace of a sorrowful expression appeared on Byron's face, and he spoke with a hint of tremor in his voice.

"Mentor, to tell you the truth, I spent more than half a year researching this potion recipe. Do you know the Materials and energy spent? Just Corolo alone saw two whole batches die."

"Seriously, if I weren't about to head to an Otherworld to execute a mission, I truly wouldn't bear to sell this potion recipe."

Looking at Byron's appearance and listening to what he said, Isolde's facial expression remained completely motionless, and she even felt a bit like laughing inside.

After all, these things were all tricks she had long since played out; back in the day, in order to purchase a machine she desperately desired, she had also sold a modified potion recipe.

At that time, she had also complained to her own mentor about her hardships just like Byron was doing now, all to make her mentor's heart soften and to demand more benefits.

Now that it was her turn to face her own student using this trick on her, she could only say that the kid was still a bit too green.

Back then, in order to get more benefits, she had actually cried tears, unlike Byron who was just dry-howling away.
