"System, can you do it?" Mai Ge asked in his mind, looking at Amy who was full of anticipation.
"This..." The system hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat apologetically, "I really can't do it."
"Huh? It's not like I'm not going to pay." Mai Ge was a little surprised that the system, which always claimed to be omnipotent, had actually backed down.
"A magic wand is something that defies scientific principles. It relies on stimulating the body's potential and then casting spells through the magic wand as a medium. It can even open portals in time and space, which is an ability that science cannot explain. The problems that this system can currently solve are all based on scientific research and reasoning. Things like magic are beyond the reach of this system." The system's tone carried a hint of helplessness. "Simply put, this system cannot do it."
"Cash?" Mai Ge tried again.
"This system can customize a magic wand according to the host's requirements, but the magic wand made by this system can only be a semi-finished product. The final step of engraving magical runes on the magic wand requires a real mage to do, and preferably the runes should correspond to the attributes of the mage using it." The system's voice was filled with resentment.
"I see. Then I won't trouble you. Just let Amy's two masters handle it." Mai Ge's lips curled up. He had almost forgotten about Amy's two level ten mage masters. They should be more enthusiastic than him about magic wands.
"Alright, then I'll give you one as a magic wand. We can have Teacher Crassus make it into a magic wand for you at school tomorrow." Mai Ge nodded with a smile, then turned to Gai Yi and asked with a smile, "Uncle Gai Yi, these tusks need to come in pairs to fetch a good price, right?"
"Yes, a pair of tusks of this quality would sell for at least 60 gold coins, but if sold individually, they might only fetch 20 gold coins." Gai Yi nodded.
The most valuable part of the copper-skinned wild boar is its pair of tusks, followed by its copper skin, which can be made into soft armor. However, in terms of price, the two or three thousand jin (1000 or 1500 kg) of copper-skinned wild boar meat can fetch the most money. In the market, it costs at least twenty copper coins per jin. They can resell it for half the price and still get two or three hundred gold coins.
However, the copper skin of the wild boar that Mai Ge and his daughter killed had been almost completely melted down, and the pork was so undercooked that no one dared to take it, all that was left were a pair of tusks.
This is why most restaurants will specify that copper-skinned wild boar meat cannot be killed with magic when offering a bounty. The restaurant is not going to take such a joke, as there might be something inside the beast killed by a mage.
"I see." Mai Ge nodded. Such a pair of level three magical beast tusks could only sell for sixty gold coins. Money really is hard to earn. He worked so hard and almost lost his life to kill that wild boar. In the end, it would have been better to make twenty Rou Jia Mo at home. Without even taking a sword, he went over and broke off the tusks. The pork was still quite cooked. The two tusks, as thick as a child's arm and more than half a meter long, were broken off by him.
It was still a bit hot to the touch and quite heavy. The material was somewhat similar to ivory, snow-white as jade, with a very smooth surface and no impurities. Each piece weighed nearly ten jin (about 5 kg).
"Daddy, give it to me." Amy's eyes lit up as she opened her both hands to Mai Ge.
"One is enough to make a magic wand." Mai Ge stood the tusk upright on the ground and let Amy hold the tip, it would be too heavy to hand it directly to her.
"But we have two tusks?" Amy looked at the other tusk in Mai Ge's hand.
"Uncle Gai Yi, you can have this tusk. It's not convenient for us to take it back, one is enough." Mai Ge turned to Gai Yi and said with a smile. He had a good impression of this kind-hearted uncle.
If Amy's fireball hadn't killed the copper-skinned wild boar, his timely arrival might have saved their lives. For someone he'd only met once, he went to such lengths, Mai Ge felt this was a friend worth having.
"Give it to me?" Gai Yi looked at Mai Ge with some surprise, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need, my target today is the big pig. May be I can get two myself later."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, consider it a way of making friends. I run a restaurant on the far west side of Aden Square. Feel free to come over sometime." Mai Ge said with a smile, then stepped forward and handed Gai Yi the pig tusk. A Flaming Chicken, a pig tusk, and Amy on his back—he really couldn't carry it all.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. My granddaughter also wants a magic wand." Gai Yi took the boar tusk, rummaged in his small bag, and pulled out a small, round, purple, crystal clear ball about the size of a thumb. He smiled and handed it to Amy, saying, "This is the eye of a level two magical beast, the Purple-Striped Eagle. It's said that the Purple-Striped Eagle can see prey 50 km away. There's a pair. I was originally planning to give one to my precious granddaughter as a birthday present, but I didn't know what to do with this one, so I'll give it to the little girl."
"Wow, it's purple! It's so pretty! Thank you, Grandpa Tiger!" Amy took the ball, looked at it, and said happily.
"You're welcome." Gai Yi laughed heartily, in a very good mood. He casually tucked the boar tusk next to the quiver at his waist and looked at Mai Ge, saying, "Then you should rest for a while and get down the mountain as soon as possible. Although this is the outer edge of Thorn Ridge, but as mercenaries continue to enter Stranglethorn Vale, some magical beasts are often frightened and run out, so it's not very safe here."
"Alright, we'll head down the mountain in a bit." Mai Ge nodded with a smile.
"Goodbye, little girl." Guy waved to Amy, picked up his javelin, and headed down the mountain, his hunt had only just begun.
"Goodbye, Grandpa Tiger!" Amy waved, still holding the eagle eye in her other hand, looking around. Suddenly, she exclaimed with delight, "Daddy, I can see a little bird perched on a tree in the far, far distance, preening its feathers!"
"Huh?" Mai Ge asked in surprise.
"Look, it really is!" Amy handed the eagle eye to Mai Ge.
Mai Ge took the small ball and squinted at it. Through its pale purple eyes, he could see a ladybug rolling on a leaf, and he could even count the tiny black dots on it. Mai Ge moved the ball left and right, then put it down and stared into the distance, asking in his mind, "System, how far can this eagle eye see?"
"The maximum distance is 15 km. Because the focus cannot be adjusted, you can only see things 15 km away." the system replied.
"That seems a bit pointless, doesn't it?" Mai Ge raised an eyebrow, because no enemy would stay motionless for 15 km.
"Magic might be able to reactivate eagle eye, if it can be refocused, it would be a miniature high-powered telescope." the system replied.
"Daddy, may I attach this little purple ball to the magic wand?" Amy asked Mai Ge with anticipation.
