This lich needs more money

Amber Xiu returned to his underground alchemy factory from Silvermoon Highgarden.

Although the deal was not settled, it was not completely in vain. Amberxiu sold the secrets he knew about Arthur Lane to Huggie Stone and made a small profit of several million gold coins.

For the sake of the Mourning Poets Society, our own people still have to get a discount, but for outsiders, they don't have to ask for hundreds of millions.

After the dwarf vampire learned the truth about the dragon's blood curse, he howled for several minutes, as excited as a naughty child. Then Huggie Stone decisively drove Ambrose away. He said that he would spend the next few years in seclusion and write a book. He wanted to write a history book that would leave his name in history.

With such a great ideal, Amberxiu was very happy for him and said that he would share half of the manuscript fee and that the second work would be named after him.

Huggy Stone wanted to refute the fact that the Desert People did not pay attention to copyright, but Ambrose decisively came up with another method.

"If you don't give me royalties and a signature, I will tell this secret to other historians. I think they will be happy to give me these things."

Huggy Stone decisively surrendered. Compared with the ideal of leaving a name in history, the royalties and signatures were nothing more than hush money for this lich.

Only then did Amber Xiu return to his alchemy factory with satisfaction.

Checked the work and found that everything was fine.

The first batch of mushroom spore powder has begun to be delivered from Apoptotic Rose, and the production of sunscreen has begun. Because it is a very simple alchemy product, it can be generated directly in one go without the need for secondary processing.

Now that there are thousands of bottles of sunscreen, Amberxiu asked Harvey to send it to surface dealers in preparation for launching it on the market.

Harvey asked curiously: "Teacher, how much does something like ours cost?"

The sunscreen on the market now costs almost ten gold coins a bottle, which is very expensive and only nobles can afford it. You have to apply this stuff every day. One bottle lasts for half a month at most. How can ordinary families afford it?

But that's because mushroom spore powder is very rare, so the cost cannot be reduced.

Amberxiu wanted to open up the low-end market so that more people could afford it, so he directly priced it at five silver coins.

One hundred silver coins were exchanged for one gold coin. Amber Xiu's price directly changed sunscreen from a luxury product to a civilian product. Although five silver coins is not cheap, it is a consumption level for ordinary people to eat a good meal occasionally, and most people can still afford it.

Moreover, Amberxiu is planning to launch large bottles, one bottle is enough to last a month, which will make it more affordable.

"Five silver coins a bottle. If you recite a line of praise to the God of Alchemy when buying it, you can get an additional 20% off."

"It's so cheap, I'm afraid some people will think that we are inferior goods."

Harvey is not an innocent little boy, he is also a person who has lived in the market, and he is very clear about these ways.

Not only are they launching a new product, but they are also trying to compete with the original sunscreen, and their opponents will do whatever they can to deal with their competitor.

If the price is cheaper, they will definitely say that it is made of fake and inferior materials and has various side effects. Then they will find a few people to pretend to be victims, saying that something went wrong after using sunscreen, and then ruin the reputation of Amberxiu's products. Smelly.

These are common "business war" tactics. If you are more ruthless, you may directly find land hooligans to smash stores.

However, Amberxiu's dealers are all locals, so there is no need to worry too much in this regard.

Therefore, the real question is how to ensure that your sunscreen will not be smeared by your opponents.

Amber Xiu smiled and said: "I have already prepared this. Later you go to the Alchemy City... Oh, no, it should be called the Gold City now. Find another student of mine. Her name is Isabel, and she is the current Alchemy City. As a rising star in the division, let her go to the desert and prepare our sunscreen on site, which will naturally solve most of the problems. I will ask the current president of the Alchemist Council to help us with the rest. Get product certification to ensure it is more high-end than your competitors.”

After hearing this, Harvey knew that Amberxiu had already made arrangements, so he stopped worrying.

If a legendary-level prophecy mage tells you it's settled, then it must be settled.

Harvey was about to leave, but was stopped by Amber Xiu, and then said: "Wait a minute, I also thought of a way to make our products a brand as soon as possible. You go and send a piece of ice to every dealer who distributes them. , covered with our sunscreen, and let them bask in the sun in front of the store.”

"Ah, our sunscreen is so effective? Can it prevent the ice from melting?"

Amberxiu said: "How is this possible? I asked you to use your hands and feet to prevent the ice from melting."

Harvey:…

This teacher is really unreasonable in his employment. How could he, a prophecy mage, know this kind of magic?

"Anyway, the task is left to you. Don't ask me to do everything myself. You also have to use your brain. You can only throw dice all day long, and your IQ will deteriorate."

Amber Xiu's words are not entirely alarmist. The prophecy mage does have this problem.

When you believe too much in the dice of destiny you throw, people will become lazy to think and slowly become a waste who can only follow the crowd.

Harvey thought to himself that he didn't throw dice very often, but since the teacher said this, Harvey could only accept his fate.

How to keep the ice cubes from melting?

Harvey walked, lost in thought.

After sending the students to work, Amberxiu began his own work.

Amberxiu didn't need to worry about the alchemy factory, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

What Amber Xiu is busy with now is the large-scale reproduction of mercury zombies. Apoptotic Rose was stimulated by Amber Xiu and became more and more excited about attacking Lane. She began to urge Amber Xiu to prepare an army of mercury zombies for her. , a large amount of ore was delivered at any cost.

Amberxiu couldn't accept the money and not work, so he could only designate an area in the dungeon specifically for receiving ores and cultivating mercury zombies.

This thing is easy to raise. Mercury Zombies eat metal and can't even excrete it, so just put mercury Zombies and ores together, and this guy will automatically divide and reproduce.

After arranging the venue, all you have to do is come over regularly to observe.

After finishing this work, Amberxiu returned to his laboratory and started a new experiment.

But this time what he saw before him was no longer the skeletons of various creatures, but a bunch of mechanical parts of different models and functions. There are also a small amount of weapons and equipment, all of which are materials needed today.

Amber Xiu simply assembled it, and a palm-sized drone appeared in front of him. He then took out the God of Alchemy's artifact gold coin, converted the drone into a corpse attribute, and then fabricated a soul and stuffed it into it.

The propeller of the drone began to rotate rapidly, and the drone took off.

"Forward, backward, left and right, raise, lower..." Amberxiu kept giving orders to this drone, and this little guy could complete all the tasks given by Amberxiu excellently.

After doing this, Amber Xiu put the drone aside, then took out a dagger, and also converted it into a corpse attribute.

Immediately afterwards, Amber Xiu created a new artificial soul and put it into the dagger.

After a while, the dagger also levitated and flew up and down according to Amber Xiu's orders, appearing very flexible.

This is what is often referred to as flying weapons. In many ancient castles, after the owner dies, he or she will sometimes attach themselves to the weapons and armor he loved during his lifetime, turning into a different kind of undead.

Possessed weapons can generally float in mid-air and attack on their own. These are called flying weapons. Possessed armor is generally called hollow armor or living armor.

Anyway, the principle is the same, that is, the dead souls use dark magic to control these metal equipment.

However, this situation is very rare, because metal is really difficult to possess, and only those particularly powerful undead can do it.

However, Amber Xiu has the legendary grace of transforming attributes, so making this kind of flying weapon is very simple.

"The simulated soul imprinted with flying skills can indeed turn a dagger into a flying sword. The speed is not bad, and the flexibility exceeds that of a drone, but the accuracy is much worse, and hovering is also more difficult..."

Amberxiu continued to test, and then created many "undead" with different shapes for subdivision and comparison.

Mechanical undead have the characteristics of precise control, and the soul cost is relatively low, but their flexibility is affected by the mechanical body, their movements are stiff, and their movements are fixed when moving, making them easy to predict.

As for flying weapons and hollow armor, because they are made by pure undead methods, each individual appears to be very agile, and the flight trajectory of the long sword and dagger is not affected by the shape at all.

If an undead drone were to fight against a flying dagger, the drone would definitely lose.

It's just that these souls must at least be imprinted with the flying skill, and the cost of manufacturing souls is many times higher than that of machines.

Especially for hollow armor, if you want it to move freely like a human being, the soul cost is even higher, which is almost equivalent to creating a high-level undead.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and Amberxiu needs to constantly adjust to find a battlefield suitable for them.

"Drones can be sold to adventurers. They can even form a team with necromancers. Undead drones can explore and track their paths. If the price is cheap, they will probably buy it. As for such flying weapons and hollow armor, It can be disguised as an antique and sold to collectors.”

Flying weapons and hollow armor are very old before they can be possessed by the undead, so these things must be considered antiques. Amber Xiu's fakery is so perfect that no one can refute it.

"These products all praise the God of Alchemy at a 20% discount. In this way, teacher, your power should be restored soon."

The reason why Amber Xiu is so busy is because of the upcoming troubled times.

The Llane Schism is just around the corner, and a world war will surely begin. Once the demon dragon and Ryan decide the winner, the gods will break the previous agreement not to attack each other, and it will definitely affect the mortal world on a large scale.

Amberxiu must prepare early.

These new undead arms are not only commodities, but also his future war weapons.

If these small, flying things are thrown over the enemy's head with a bottle of explosive alchemical potion... Haha, let those enemies feel what modern warfare is.
