Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
In this world, senior pharmacists have a very high status, but compared with magicians, they are probably still inferior, after all, the number of magicians is really too rare. Besides, magicians don't need too many magic crystals." According to Zhou Tao's explanation, Liu Ning also understood a principle: magic crystals are indeed very important to magicians, but it is not the case that the more the better. Our Ma family once had a magic crystal, but my level wasn't high enough, so I don't know...
In fact, Liu Ning's current social status is not low. In addition to his status as a strong person, Liu Ning is also a senior pharmacist. In this world, senior pharmacists have a very high status, but compared with magicians, they are probably still inferior, after all, the number of magicians is really too rare.
After parting ways with Bai Jingye, Liu Ning went to Zhou Tao's place. If it came to buying things, she would have to discuss it with Zhou Tao first, since his family ran a trading group. To be honest, Zhou Tao was also worried. He had been given a task from above, which was to create opportunities for Miss Zhou and Liu Ning to communicate. He never expected that Liu Ning would actually come to him. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was sleepy.
When Zhou Tao heard that Liu Ning wanted to buy magic crystals, he was surprised. What was the point of buying such things? Although they were valuable, to ordinary people they were just like broken stones. Only magicians considered them valuable.
Bai Jingye was very surprised, but Zhou Tao quickly regained his composure. The Bai family was in the medicinal herb business, so they didn't know much about magic crystals. But Zhou Tao was different. In the history of their Zhou family, more than a dozen magic crystals had been sold. But why would Liu Ning buy this? Could it be to apologize to that magician?
"Don't worry about what I'm going to do with this. It's very important for me, so just find a way to get it for me."
Liu Ning was too lazy to answer this guy's question, and besides, there was no way to explain it. Should he tell him that his system needed it? If that were the case, Zhou Tao would probably be too shocked to speak. How could a person have a system on them? This was simply too astonishing.
"This is just a branch office, and I don't have this kind of thing here. However, my sister might have some information. You know, this kind of thing is not very useful to ordinary people. The most important thing for our trading company is cash flow. This thing is worth several hundred billion yuan. If it is left in our company's warehouse, we don't know when it will be sold. Besides, magicians don't need too many magic crystals."
According to Zhou Tao's explanation, Liu Ning also understood a principle: magic crystals are indeed very important to magicians, but it is not the case that the more the better. Generally, a magician only needs to have one, and having more is not very useful. Therefore, most of them are bought for storage, rather than because they actually want to own them.
"Then why don't you take a look at the others?"
Liu Ning then brought over the other items. They could obtain the other two items, though it would take some time. Liu Ning was relieved; the most crucial thing was the magic crystal.
Through this purchase, Liu Ning finally understood just how rare the items the system needed were. The Zhou family was the world's largest trading group, and they had all sorts of things within their organization. Even they were finding it difficult to acquire these items, let alone anything else. No wonder Bai Jingye had that kind of expression when Liu Ning mentioned it to him earlier; they rarely dealt with these kinds of things.
Regarding the magic crystals, Liu Ning had already discussed it with Zhou Tao. He would talk to Miss Zhou another day to see if she had any clues. Right now, Liu Ning's desire to become a magician was extremely strong, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability. He could only wait patiently. When he first saw Zhao Wudi, Liu Ning had to go through a lot of trouble to raise the money so that he could become a spiritual mage. Now, becoming a magician would also take a very long time.
Aside from the main entrance of the Zhou family mansion, Ma Wang and Lone Wolf were waiting outside. Ma Wang was slightly stronger than Lone Wolf, so the task of driving fell to Lone Wolf. Gu Liang hadn't originally planned to do this, but then again, Liu Ning had treated him quite well, and it seemed he was slowly forgetting his past hatred.
Actually, Liu Ning had already given this guy a complete recap of what happened that day. Your brother did die, but it didn't have much to do with us. Anyone in the wild would definitely fight back. Besides, in that situation, once the flash went up into the sky, all the ferocious beasts around were desperately trying to get in. Even if your brother was a War God-level expert, he couldn't have survived in that state. If you want to find the culprit, it's the higher-ups in your Sky Wolf City. Who told them to come up with such a plan?
“Boss, I heard you mention magic crystals earlier. Actually, I have some leads too. Our Ma family once had a magic crystal, but my level wasn't high enough, so I don't know where it went afterward. It was probably taken away by the Central Base City. If you want to buy it, I can discuss it with the higher-ups in our family.”
Two years ago, the Ma family unexpectedly obtained a magic crystal. Ma Wang heard about it from others, but then a gag order was issued. This is how large families usually operate. Whenever they encounter something good, they don't allow outsiders to know they have it, for fear that someone will come to them asking for help. They also need to stockpile these things. With such a large family, who dares to say that they won't need a magician in the future? When they want to ask a magician for a favor, this magic crystal is the best gift.
"That's fantastic! You should hurry back and discuss it. Your family's leader in this city should have heard about it, right?"
It was truly effortless. Just a moment ago, Liu Ning looked disappointed, but after hearing Ma Wang's words, he was overjoyed. If he could get everything sorted out, he would soon have two magic crystals.
Actually, Liu Ning himself didn't realize it. In the past, the people he associated with were of a very low class, only slightly higher than the lowest level in society. Therefore, when he sought certain things, he couldn't get information immediately. But now it's different. Just look at Liu Ning's two followers. These two guys are top-notch young experts, so they have access to more family secrets. If Liu Ning wants to buy something, they can indeed be of great help.
“Our person in charge here is Ma Qiang. He’s of the same generation as me, but he comes from the inner circle, so he has more resources than I do. I can go back and make some connections for the boss…”
