Chapter 1106: Chapter 162: New Intern Planner

Although the amount of Demon’s Blood didn’t match up, the players still brought all of it back.

After Husky destroyed the "Feigned Death" body of Longjing Tea, Longjing Tea was naturally resurrected.

So Annan issued a richly rewarding mission to the resurrected Longjing Tea as a reward for his bravery and wit...

He granted Longjing Tea teleportation privileges and allowed him to deliver two hundred portions of Demon’s Blood to Salvatore in batches.

As a congregation point for transformation Wizards, Heath Tower of Black is indeed the group that can most perfectly utilize the gold-colored cursed material "Demon’s Blood."

Once Salvatore completes his advancement, he would be the strongest alchemist in the world. Annan believed that he could definitely make the most of these materials.

Of course, Heath Tower of Black wouldn’t just take advantage of this for nothing.

If it were something cheap, Salvatore might have gladly accepted it. But two hundred portions of perfectly preserved Demon’s Blood, even without a price increase, would sell for at least eight thousand Gold Coins... This was not a small amount.

—— And even if Longjing Tea didn’t deliver it, Heath Tower of Black would have definitely spent a lot of money to buy it from market middlemen.

Since they’re definitely going to spend the money, then rather than letting the middlemen profit, it’s better for Annan to earn it.

At least Annan could guarantee the quality, without raising the price, absolutely no diluting, no counterfeit goods, no shorting on the amount, and even delivering it to their doorstep!

Marshland’s Heath Tower of Black was already short on manpower, going out to buy Demon’s Blood can easily be dangerous... on the other hand, it’s also easy to encounter traitors who take the money and run.

As long as there are enough money-grabbers and the amount is not that much, Heath Tower of Black won’t come after them to kill.

Because Marshland’s Heath Tower of Black is truly too short on people.

They just can’t find that many people... Those with some abilities, after graduation, tend to find a place to work. Whether it’s opening their own shop or working for someone else, they can live a comfortable life without worries.

This is a true "skill for a lifetime."

Even if they don’t ingratiate themselves with anyone, they can still support themselves.

Therefore, they are unlikely to answer the call of Heath Tower of Black... and risk their life catching wanted criminals for Heath Tower of Black away from their comfortable lives.

In other words, Heath Tower of Black has given them a good skill... Among all the Wizard’s Towers, Wizards from Heath Tower of Black have the highest average income.

As a result, they are the least likely to respond to the call of the Wizard’s Towers.

After all, the duty of the Wizard’s Tower is merely "inheritance." After teaching them, they do not ask for any compensation... once the necessary work time ends, and the tuition debt is paid off, they are free people and owe nothing to the Wizard’s Tower.

Helping their alma mater is a favor, not helping is not a mistake.

This can only be regarded as fair.

Except for a very small number of extremists like Benjamin... Many Wizards study in the Tower with the goal of making money—Hugo might have looked unhappy when he was young, but later he got used to it.

—— After all, the motive of "improving oneself for a better life" indeed cannot be condemned.

Just like a student who has a talent for research and could make a very high income working in a company... It’s not possible to use moral coercion to forcibly keep him in a research institute to do scientific research.

Additionally, the usual behavior of Heath Tower of Black is not extreme, in fact, it’s quite gentle. It doesn’t possess the deterrent power like the Lava Forbidden Tower. Nor is it as mysteriously unpredictable as the Soul Reaping School, School of Prophets, or School of Idols.

... As a result, there are quite a few two-fivers.

Gerald, when he was wanted, it wasn’t because he ignored the call of Heath Tower of Black... but because he stole a precious holy name cursed object. Even so, Heath Tower of Black could only symbolically send someone to hunt him.

From this, it is evident how understaffed Heath Tower of Black really is.

"——Should good people be held at gunpoint?"

Probably something like that.

Now, Heath Tower of Black has also been burned once... Although it didn’t have much direct connection with Annan, it could somewhat be considered as Annan’s reflection.

Annan still needs to think of a way to compensate Heath Tower of Black.

This batch of Demon’s Blood is enough for Heath Tower of Black to develop a new transformational catalyst.

—— Although the market price of Demon’s Blood is forty Gold Coins, that price is one where supply doesn’t meet the demand. When one could buy it depends on when it’s available... and at that time, there would inevitably exist such a profession.

Scalpers.

Or speculators.

And Annan’s move...

Is like during the hottest and craziest period of crypto mining, when Annan offered Salvatore a full two trucks of the latest, top-end graphics cards straight from the "suggested retail price," without any markup, no commission, unopened, good brand... and even delivered straight to his door, without even charging for shipping.

That really was quite generous of him.

And Annan didn’t let Longjing Tea make the trip for nothing.

He said it was a task with a hefty reward—and indeed it was.

He directly gave Longjing Tea 10% of the total sales revenue of this batch of demon’s blood, and also gave Husky 10%. Without a doubt, both of them were heroes of this battle, and it could be said... without either of them, it would have surely led to a direct collapse.

Considering that the idiot senior just took over the position of Tower Master, he might not have that much available funds on hand.

Annan specifically took out 30% and purchased a batch of apprentice’s practice-made, standard-quality transformation catalysts at cost price from the Heath Tower of Black. He let Longjing Tea distribute these catalysts to the remaining seven players in his two squads.

This was beneficial for both sides.

Annan helped Black Tower clear some inventory of transformation catalysts, saving available funds for Marshland Tower.

These potions wouldn’t sell for much... After all, every place has their own "colleagues" who were taught in-house competing in the market.

But for the players, these potions were just right.

Because if it were any more expensive, they’d be reluctant to use them.

Annan could understand them.

If the potions really were so expensive that they cost a few Gold Coins, or even tens of Gold Coins, or even more than that, players would most likely just store these good potions in the warehouse indefinitely.

Until they themselves forget about the existence of these potions.

Because the potions would have become more expensive than their lives.

As for the remaining 50%... Annan didn’t plan on taking it.

After all, he wasn’t short of money now.

He was taken care of wherever he went, and in any city he visited, someone would invite him for a meal. And if Annan truly needed to buy something very important and expensive, he could directly use the savings of the Winter family—if that was not enough, he could also use the funds invested in Winter by the Kingdom of Noah.

This sum of money, together with the income from the demon’s blood that Annan planned to let the players sell at a high price... Annan had already told Longjing Tea.

He wouldn’t take a penny—it would all go to the players.

Whether they help to sell together and then divide the money, or distribute several bottles to each team according to a ratio, to decide on their own whether to sell, who to sell to, how much to sell, or to keep for their own use.

He left the decision with Longjing Tea.

This was also a test by Annan.

By now, Annan needed to start preparing to gradually step down from the position of "planner." If he really intended to enter the future world to hunt down The Worm... that meant the players would be left unsupervised for who knows how long.

But the players cannot become a disorganized mess...

If they were let go like that, it might really ruin them.

Just like those wizards from Heath Tower of Black who went out to enjoy life...

They might start growing grass and get gradually lazier.

It’s like starting with getting tired of playing hard-core dungeons, then getting annoyed by daily dungeon grinding, then wanting to log off after completing dailies, and eventually not wanting to do dailies at all. When they stop logging in for several days in a row—they just can’t remember it anymore.

This is the process before quitting online or mobile games.

Although they certainly won’t "quit," but it’s hard to generate "desire" after the passion fades.

Players summoned by the Book of the Celestial Chariot all have the potential to advance to Gold. It would be a pity if they stalled at Silver.

This was another of Annan’s thoughts.

Annan believed that Longjing Tea was the most reliable among the players—and he was also the most thoughtful. He did indeed have rich management experience and considerable prestige among the players.

As long as Longjing Tea could become Annan’s vassal god later, or advance to the Gold stage.

Annan planned to hand over the position of "planner" to Longjing Tea.

Such as authority over side missions, or holding an event, could all be opened up to him. The management rights of the experience pool could also be handed over to him; after all, Annan no longer needed it.

Later, he might even assign him to a moderator position to manage the forum. After all, players will eventually reincarnate into this world sooner or later, they have to get used to this social platform.

Yes, Annan planned to find an opportunity to tell the players that they could be resurrected in this world...

—When they defeat Ingrid, he can tell them then.
