Volume 1 Chapter 24 (1/2)

Men can also become jealous

It was past noon when Xu Yi left Viscount Leslie’s manor. Looking up at the bright son, he determined that it was better not to brave this burning heat to go to the factory and let Butler Brunei send him back to Banta City with the horse carriage instead.

With this hot weather, Banta City was in the same deathly silence as usual. Xu Yi looked around from inside the horse carriage and found that many houses and stores had traces of Magic Fans turning. He couldn’t help revealing a smile.

It was just in a single month, but the Magic Fans had spread all over inside and outside Banta City. Other than those rich people who can afford to lay down large scale Frost Arrays inside their houses, every household had one or two Magic Fans. It was simply impossible to raise one’s head and not see one in the neighbourhood.

According to Heinz’s data, up to this point, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce had sold a total of two thousand three hundred and seventy one Frestech Brand Magic Fans.

Adding in all the assorted costs, the net profit was over two thousand and two hundred gold coins.

Then taking away the commission Heinz made and the commission from Viscount Leslie’s 10% share, Xu Yi had made a profit of one thousand and five hundred gold coins from just this!

And this was just his net income for a single month.

It had to be known, the average income per month for people in Banta City was only ten gold coins and their yearly income was around two hundred gold coins.

With Rem’s thirty gold coin income at Camilla’s Magic Tower, he could be considered someone with a high income in Banta City.

But compared to the current Xu Yi, there was no doubt he was lacking by countless times.

It was no wonder Heinz frequently tried convincing Xu Yi to stop working at the Magic Tower and focus on the company.

Of the reasons why the Magic Fan’s production couldn’t be raised, the deciding factor was Xu Yi’s limited energy.

Although his workload at the Magic Tower was not considered heavy, it did consume a large part of his energy.

From Heinz’s point of view, this was basically a large waste.

But as for Heinz’s proposition each time, Xu Yi kept firmly rejecting him.

Heinz didn’t have foresight, but Xu Yi didn’t lack it.

After getting out of the horse carriage, Xu Yi gave the driver a gold coin and carried a large and small bag into the Magic Tower.

He came across quite a few colleagues in the Magic Tower, who all looked at him with a smile when they saw him.

During this time, Xu Yi had sold large amounts of Magic Fans he designed in Banta City, so even with how little the magicians of the Magic Tower cared about normal things, they still heard all about it. Through this, they began recognizing this black haired kid none of them knew before.

But in the eyes of the magicians of the Magic Tower, Xu Yi was ignoring his main profession.

As a magician, he wasn’t properly conducting magical research and running of to make some unknown Magic Fan, this was simply an embarrassing magician!

Xu Yi turned a blind eye to all the strange gazes mixed with these smiles and maintained his own smile as he headed into the lab.

Seeing Xu Yi come in, the young colleagues in the lab all shouted out and charged over. They stole the bags from Xu Yi’s hands without any politeness and quickly opened them.

“It’s mung bean juice again? I say, Xu Yi, don’t you have anything new?” A colleague didn’t forget to complain.

Xu Yi laughed, “What? You’re sick of it? Alright, I’ll remember to bring something new next time.”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, it’s already pretty good having something to eat.” A female colleague pushed the colleague who complained aside, “Xu Yi, you always bring something to eat back, it’s embarrassing for us.”

“It’s nothing, just some small cheap things. I’m always taking vacations and leaving the work in the lab for you all, so this is considered an apology from me.”

“He, he, you’re too polite……”

“Humph! So you do know.” A cold snort suddenly cut through this harmonious atmosphere, “Xu Yi, don’t think that you can show off here with the bit of money you’re making from the Magic Fans. Don’t forget, you are a magician in the end. We magicians rely on our magical strength and it’s the Magicians Guild’s certification exam next month. I’ve heard that you haven’t even passed the lowest level test yet, right? If you still can’t pass it next month, that will be a joke!”

Xu Yi looked over and found that one speaking was the one who was second in terms of magic power in the lab, Cimirot.

Since Xu Yi came to this lab, this Cimirot had always been critical of him, looking down on him in many ways.

Xu Yi didn’t understand what was the matter, but after asking around with his colleagues, he found that Cimirot always had thoughts about Still. After learning that Xu Yi was brought in through the back door by Still, he thought that Xu Yi and Still had some kind of special relationship, so naturally he didn’t like Xu Yi.

For this kind of people, Xu Yi knew that he would become more excited the more you paid attention to him. He had always ignored him, not acknowledging his existence.
