Chapter 128 Purchasing

They returned to the house rented by Jia Maduo. The houses of the two were on the same mountain, not far apart, only about a hundred meters away.

The lower part of the house is a brick and stone structure, with wooden structures on it, with large windows and glass-intact windows, which have good lighting. It is much better than any castle manor. In recent years, because there is no war, even the oldest aristocrats rarely live in castles, and have built new manors to live in. The castle is a semi-military building. For defense, windows rarely open, so it is dark and humid, and not suitable for living.

I have seen the house Jiayi and the others before buying it. It has two floors and a loft. The upper floor is four rooms, the lower floor is four servant rooms, and a large living room. There is a small house next to the house, which is the kitchen and bathroom. The laboratory is underground and surrounded by bluestone. Because it is illuminated by magic lamps, it does not look dim at all, and it is almost the same as the room under the fluorescent lamp.

They came to the laboratory and there was nothing but a few tables, measuring cups, beakers, test tubes, magic stoves, etc. The mage's experimental tools were not glass, but natural crystals. Because glass could not prevent the overflow of magic power, the potions made from experimental tools made with glassware would be weaker. The magic stove is about the same size as an alcohol lamp, but it can control the flame temperature more accurately. The firepower can be adjusted at will, which is essential. These are just the most basic magic potion making tools. If you want to make other magic items, you must have a small refining furnace to refine small accessories. If they want to make a clock, this is also indispensable. However, with Jiayi's magic stove, you can combine it into one, and just buy one is enough.

There are also magic lamps, which use magic stone lighting. Now the lights are a little dim. It is probably time to replace the magic stone. A standard magic stone requires at least 10 gold coins, but it can only maintain the magic lamp operation for less than three months. There are 5 magic lamps in this laboratory, which consumes 15 or 6 gold coins per month, even if you save some money, you will have 7 or 8 gold coins per month. Thinking of this, Jiayi is a little irritated. The monthly electricity bill is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars. You dare to believe it.

The situation of the two houses is similar. Jiayi recalculated the funds he had on him. He paid the rent for one year, and because of the discount, the fractions were removed, it cost 48 gold, and the shop. This was rented by everyone together, but it was much less. Each person had a little more than 11 gold per year. After all, there were only about 400 gold coins left. Although it was not small, he still had to buy experimental equipment, purchase raw materials, and pay tuition fees later. The funds were almost difficult. Fortunately, this month was about to pass, and by the next month, new authorized funds would flow in.

After statistics, their group returned to the Scoll Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has a wide business and there should be corresponding props for sale.

When we arrived at the chamber of commerce, Hailey was still receiving them. Jiayi said: "We rented a new house, but we didn't have any application tools, and the laboratory was empty. Do you have any experimental tools here to sell them?"

"Of course," Haley said, "we have crystal vessels, bird feathers, rune pens, obsidian knives, various carving knives, and magic refining furnaces for alchemy, almost all of them."

"I have nothing in my laboratory. Take me to see the crystal utensils first, and then use the medicine to make it." After Jiayi finished speaking, he asked the others, "Where are you? Look at the crystal utensils first or something else?"

The rest of the people said it didn't matter, they all had to see it anyway. Hailey took them out and came to a store next door that specialized in testing equipment. They just went there and sold things separately, which was more professional.

Hailey found a waitress in the store and took them to see the crystal utensils. The waitress took out a set of crystal utensils and said to them: "This is a set of basic utensils, including measuring cups, beakers, decanters, beakers, beakers, beakers, beakers, test tubes, iron racks, and hoses made of Eucommia glue. It is enough to refine ordinary medicines. Our crystals are specialties in the seaside mermaid country. They have a tight texture, no bubbles, and few impurities. The shell has been processed by our special process. Even if it is burned at high temperature, there is no need to worry about rupture."

Jiayi looked at this set of tools. Although it was not very complete compared to his own laboratory, it was not far behind. Most of his own laboratory tools were made by himself. Except for a few, it was not necessarily complete. Because he was lazy, most of the time, he would be almost as good as he could use it.

"These are almost the same here, but are you better?"

The maid said: "The rest are not much different, but there are more types of big belly flasks, wide mouth bottles, evaporation dishes, and test tubes. The better one is that the mage carved rune arrays outside, but this type of utensil is not used for many. If you need it, I can show it to you."

Jiayi can't afford this highest-end crystal utensil for the time being. It can only be made by a mage who is proficient in rune seal carving. If you are not careful, it will be carved. Therefore, it is of great value and must be used for high-end potions. For Jiayi, it is enough to use some basic ones.

Jiayi asked: "How much does this basic set cost?"

“160 gold.”

"Hiss~" Jiayi took a breath of air conditioning, and it was more than one-third of it. He didn't dare to think about it any longer. "Then give me a set of basic test tubes. Give me some more test tubes, and get me some medicine bottles. Are there any medicine bottles with wide mouths and short belly? If so, give me some."

"Yes, I'll take it to show you whether it's appropriate." After that, the maid went to the backstage to get the wide-mouthed and short-bellied medicine bottle that Jiayi asked for.

Jiayi asked the rest of the people: "Do you want to have a set of these potions and utensils?"

Maduo said: "I'll do one too, my laboratory is empty too. This should be almost the same. We can just use each other. When we have a little more affordable, we can buy the rest. People here probably are not all good at making potions."

Yanxi raised his hand and said, "I'm not good at it, but I'm better at prop making and rune portraying."

When the maid took Jiayi and asked for the bottle, it was almost a wide-mouth bottle the size of a bowl. The mouth was two circles larger than the ordinary medicine bottle, but the height was only half. Jiayi wanted this bottle to hold ointment, and his ointment had a good effect in stopping bleeding, and it happened to be sold as a special product.

Finally, Jiayi bought a set of additional basic medicine utensils, wiped off the fraction of the 200 gold, and gave 170 gold a discount. At once, nearly half of the funds were gone.

The maid packed the utensils for them and said, "You leave your address, we will send these to you. We also have crystal tableware here. Do you still need them?"

"Forget it, there's no need." Jiayi weighed his wallet and didn't dare to buy it anymore. Crystal tableware is even more expensive than crystal magic utensils, because magic utensils require magic barrier properties and are not strict on the appearance of the utensils. However, the first thing that crystal tableware pays attention to is appearance, and requires transparent and bright crystals without impurities, which is even more rare. If it is an ordinary crystal, it's better to use glass.

However, he was still a little happy to hear that he could deliver goods to his door. At least his service attitude was pretty good. Jiayi asked Hailey to write down the address while thinking that only a gold coin could hire dozens of coolies all day long.

After buying the crystal utensils, Jiayi and the others went to see the refining furnace used for alchemy. The refining furnace is actually a kind of magic furnace, but it is almost completely fueled by magic power, with higher temperatures and higher usage costs. The alchemy here is actually similar to engineering, magic jewelry, magic props, and even puppet mechanisms that are as large as puppet mechanisms, which can be regarded as alchemy. Therefore, a melting furnace is very necessary, but the price of the furnace varies greatly depending on the size and maximum temperature. The most expensive one can reach ten thousand gold, and the cheapest ones can also cost about one hundred gold.

Yangxi also needs a refining furnace for alchemy, and if they want to make a clock, a refining furnace is essential. Originally, Yangxi wanted to use one with Jiayi, but Jiayi disliked the poor design of the furnace here. The temperature was all due to the magic pile. He was not very satisfied, so he asked the Scoll Chamber of Commerce to send workers to come back and build one with them. Although it was not as portable and mobile as an ordinary refining furnace, it had a larger capacity and stronger firepower. It could also burn charcoal and coking coal, which consumed less energy. Moreover, Jiayi designed and portrayed the magic circle himself, which was cheaper.

Yanxi himself spent more than 1,000 yuan to buy a new furnace to arrange it in the Maduo laboratory.
