It turns out that being a model and taking photos is really tiring.
But the money comes in really fast.
After taking a set of photos, Caesar got 20,000 J.
Of course, he is a male model after all. If he were to switch to a female model and take a swimsuit photo or something, the price would be too expensive.
After confirming that the other party was the famous Soshala magazine, Caesar also came to his senses and prepared to go find Bob.
But what was waiting for him was a group of young ladies who were like wolves and tigers. For a moment, Caesar felt as if he had fallen into the land of girls.
There is no way to hide, the number of commissions accepted by the magician can be checked.
Most people can't find it, but since they are also magicians from a Magic Guild, it is relatively simple to check.
After they learned the relevant information about Caesar, they checked the number of Caesar's commissions.
They didn't know what to expect, but they were really shocked when they saw the results.
There were 26 E-level commissions, 1 D-level commission, 37 C-level commissions, 27 B-level commissions, and 66 A-level commissions!
Calculated based on the minimum commission fee, Caesar's net worth has exceeded one billion J!
Coupled with being handsome and strong, isn't this a potential stock?
And then... this is the scene.
Caesar had never seen such a scene before. He was frightened by the enthusiasm of the young ladies and immediately fled to Bob's side, and only then did he calm down.
"So... so enthusiastic."
Caesar wiped the sweat from his forehead and wiped off the lipstick mark on his face at the same time. He had to admit that it was too much for people to be so popular.
"Well, you just get used to it."
Bob looked at Caesar and chuckled.
Surrounded by young ladies outside, Caesar did not dare to wander around at all. He simply stayed next to Bob and asked Bob some magic questions from time to time.
And Bob is indeed very patient and a very nice person.
Even though he looks like a ladyboy uncle now, when he was young, he was also a super handsome guy, okay?
In addition, Bob was originally a mage from the Fairy Tail guild, so he took good care of Caesar, a junior, and basically answered all questions. He also gave Caesar a lot of experience.
After waiting for a while, Caesar finally saw Ichiya, who had just returned to the guild after completing a commission.
Caesar, who had waited the whole night, saw Ichiya—whose appearance was hard to describe.
Is the best way to describe his is ugly? not really he had a square face, a big nose, and a pronounced chin, but it actually wasn't too ugly.
But Caesar couldn't say that he was good-looking. He could only say that his appearance was hard to describe in one word.
Ichiya's behavior was also a bit eccentric, and there was nothing more to say about that.
After Bob called him over and explained Caesar's situation, Ichiya immediately said there was no problem.
Immediately afterward, he taught Caesar everything without any reservation.
Caesar also used the Edward card take over status to continuously learn and master new knowledge.
Under Ichiya's instruction, Caesar quickly mastered the high-end skills of material extraction.
With inspiration flowing, Caesar immediately took out a large amount of materials out of thin air, and then began refining at the counter. Seeing this, Ichiya kept giving his own suggestions.
With their combined efforts, Caesar quickly prepared a new bottle of potion.
After taking a slight sniff of the potion and feeling the tremor of magic power in his body, Caesar's eyes lit up.
His idea was indeed correct. The improvement in extraction had greatly reduced the problem of drug resistance.
If the first-generation modified potion could only increase magic power by 1%, then this second-generation modified potion could increase magic power by about 35%!
Although it was not as exaggerated as the original 50%, the price difference between the two made up for it.
"A 35% improvement is enough."
Caesar murmured in his heart.
Based on the absorption efficiency of one bottle every seven days, a 35% improvement would require 350 bottles and more than six years.
It is now the year 778. More than six years later, it will be the year 784, when the plot begins.
And six years is enough time for Caesar to master more knowledge and then improve the potion further.
Next comes the most important thing!
Although Ichiya didn't care much about money and didn't have a large-scale distribution of perfume, Caesar was very short of money!
He went through so much trouble to improve the potion, partly to increase his own magic power reserves, and partly because of the huge profits the improved potion could bring!
You know, the material cost for configuring a bottle of potion is only 200 J!
But considering its effectiveness in increasing magic power reserves, even if one bottle sold for 100,000 J, some people would still bite the bullet and buy it!
If mass production is carried out, even if the price is slightly reduced, Caesar will be able to make a lot of money just from the cost margin!
Caesar is short of money, and not just a little bit!
The full level of a card is one hundred. It takes one breakthrough starting from level sixty, and ten pieces of the same character card fragments are needed to raise the maximum level to level eighty. When level eighty is reached, it takes a second breakthrough, which requires forty fragments to upgrade to level one hundred.
In terms of equipment, there are five levels: level 30, level 40, level 50, level 60, and level 70, with the highest level being 80.
The required card fragments are also 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 fragments respectively.
Each character card can be equipped with two prop cards.
Plus some improvements to bond cards.
In other words, if you want to get a full-level, fully equipped card, the resources you need to spend are massive!
If this were a normal game, he could use spirit stones to exchange for suitable cards or fragments in various stores.
But now the only way to obtain cards is to draw them, which is completely unstable. This greatly increases the difficulty of obtaining cards, and the amount of money required increases drastically!
Therefore, Caesar is short of money!
To improve the potion, he must also find ways to sell it!
Only in this way can Caesar obtain a steady stream of funds, earn money, form the deck of cards he envisions, and train them to full potential.
But now there is a problem.
How are the potions going to be mass-produced?
Currently, only Caesar uses alchemy to produce potions. As for who in the Fairy Tail world can help Caesar prepare potions?
All Caesar thought of was Granny Porlyusica.
Let Granny Porlyusica help?
Don't even think about it. She's always afraid of trouble. It's unrealistic to rely on her.
After thinking about it, Caesar finally realized with some frustration that he had to produce the medicine himself.
But manpower is limited. There's no doubt that the potion can help him make money, but not nearly as much as he imagined.
So...
"In the final analysis, the work of a magician cannot stop. Potions can only be regarded as extra money, and commissions are still the main source of income!"
Caesar sighed inwardly, finally recognizing the reality.
