950: Chapter 84 Orbital Dragon Island and Galewind Dragon King (5200) 950: Chapter 84 Orbital Dragon Island and Galewind Dragon King (5200) The best form of cooperation is when both parties feel they have an advantage.

As for Ian “Freeloader” of Silver Peak, there’s no need to elaborate further.

He never considered himself at a loss.

For the Great Prince, cooperation with Ian was no more than utilising a bit of his political privilege, which is not a waste, in exchange for crucial information about social experiments from Ian.

Similarly, the Firestone Group simply uses their surplus funds to exchange for key technologies from Ian that they can later use to make more money.

Everyone can obtain the resources they desire from Ian, which is also why everyone is willing to cooperate with him.

For the Prophet, this is basic practice.

So, what do Scott and Green Tide want to gain from Ian?

“So soon?”

Green Tide is not an outspoken person without thought.

In fact, he is quite delicate in his thinking, which is why he doesn’t mind occasionally making jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

But now, he got serious: “Boss, I’m Second Power Level Magic Potion, even if our territory has the money, we shouldn’t be in a hurry to advance me now, right?”

“With no war in South Ridge at the moment, it’s better to focus on development when it comes to funding.”

What Green Tide wanted to obtain from Ian was this intangible thing called ‘hope for the future’.

He might have never gone to school and systematically learned knowledge, but he is indeed a swordsman with exceptional talent, possessing an instinctive judgment when it comes to seizing opportunities.

He believes that Ian is fundamentally different from others, possessing talents he’s never even heard of, on a level even more inconceivable than the protagonists of legendary stories.

In his view, with Ian around and the territory developing normally, he had absolutely no reason to worry about his future.

Therefore, faced with the ‘Second Power Level Magic Potion’ that most people would be eager to drink immediately, he maintained his composure quite well.

“The materials captured from the Jiamu Sect are better used than wasted, since we won’t be selling them anyway.”

Ian smiled.

Green Tide had become much more cheerful recently, after all, the salary Ian provided was sufficiently high.

His wife and children back at Whale Song Cliff even sent letters telling him everything was fine and subtly expressed interest in relocating here.

When life goes well, the thirst for power is not so urgent.

To make people wait patiently and maintain composure, what’s needed is indeed a stable environment.

——No wonder officials in my previous life always prioritized selecting those who are married and have families.

The thought flashed through Ian’s mind as he gestured for Green Tide to sit down: “The territory needs a resident Second Power Level, you guys don’t think I will stay in the territory all the time, do you?”

“Whether it’s future Alchemy-related business trips and seminars, or if war breaks out again and I need to confront the enemy Sublimators, the territory needs a Second Power Level beside myself.”

“As you are already at the First Power Level Peak, the sooner you reach the Second Power Level, the better.”

The people present didn’t know Gu Ying’s strength, and even though Scott vaguely realized that this mysterious researcher was extraordinary, they did not consider him a part of the territory’s regular combat power display.

Given this, Green Tide would have no objections.

In fact, for Ian, helping his followers become Sublimators is not difficult at all.

For an ordinary person to become a Sublimator, the most challenging part is actually obtaining the ‘Magic Potion formula’ as well as knowing an ‘Alchemist’ who can concoct the potion.

Everything else, such as Magical Medicine Ingredients, prior training and preparation, as well as various nutrients, can be obtained with a clear price tag.

However, the cost of the Magic Potion formula and the fee for concocting the potion combined could be two to three times more expensive than the potion itself.

But Ian himself is an Alchemist with the Magic Potion formula, and he doesn’t charge for his services.

The basic qualities of Scott and Green Tide are also fully qualified—thus, all that needs to be paid is the mere price of the Magical Medicine Ingredients themselves.

The cost is not on the same level as what an ordinary person would have to spend thousands of Talle to become a Sublimator.

This is why Alchemist Lords are always capable of making their territories prosper quickly because they indeed represent the highest productivity of Terra World.

As for why many Lords do not learn Alchemy…

It must be stated here: it’s not that they don’t want to learn, it’s that they can’t learn.

Everyone in the world knows that if you are good at math and science, you’ll be fearless wherever you go, but how many can truly master math and science to a degree that they can create actual value?

The same goes for Alchemy.

Not to mention that Alchemy represents not just math and science but also mechanical engineering, Spirit Energy, and a variety of other miscellaneous knowledge.

Not even talking about crafting skills, Inscription Studies is essentially a discipline that places extreme demands on memory and operational precision.

Even with a Silver Chip, Ian spent four to five years laying the groundwork before he could have the level of an Elite Alchemist…Of course, it was also because there weren’t many Alchemy books in Harrison Port.

A typical genius might take over twenty years to reach this point, and not necessarily be as proficient as Ian.

“Summoner of Thunder Magic Potion, and Tide Messenger Magic Potion.”

Two bottles of Magic Potion.

One bottle contained a light blue base, with silver arcs of lightning dancing within, meandering serpentine through the cloud-like Origin Structure.

The other bottle held deep turquoise waves tumbling restlessly inside, layer upon layer, endless, with whirlpool-like Origin Structures forming extremely regular pulsating patterns.

Pushing these two bottles of Magic Potion forward, Ian gestured for the two to take them: “Consider this last year’s annual bonus.

Take them whenever you feel the time is right.”
