Chapter 24 What Team? Duck Gigi Will Abuse Your Entire Team!
"Look, there's Lingfeng Farm!"
The caravan's guard pointed excitedly to the windmills on the hills ahead.
Lin Feng looked in the direction he was pointing.
Vast fields of flowers on the hillside, rippling in the wind, stretch as far as the eye can see! A swarm of domesticated bees tirelessly gathers nectar, preparing for the cocoa festival.
Beside the flower field, there were several windmills, their blades spinning rapidly, drawing upon the surrounding magical energy of the winged system. At the foot of the spires, there were also piles of grain crops.
On the other side of the hills, clusters of small houses, red and yellow, are arranged in an orderly fashion.
Several paths radiate from the town center, leading in all directions, one of which connects to Lin Feng and his group.
At the end of this path, you can already see some merchants traveling in carts pulled by sonic dogs.
The young guard grinned, "Such a beautiful view is something you can never get enough of!"
The group walked into Lingfeng Town at a leisurely pace.
Village Chief Hammer immediately came forward to greet them, "Is this the caravan from the Faraway Merchant Guild? This way."
The Far East Chamber of Commerce has businesses all over mainland China, but most of them are in the transportation and cocoa fruit business.
Lingfeng Town often needs the Far Travel Merchants Guild to transport grain for them, so naturally they treat the caravans better.
The caravan is transporting magic stones from the West District factory to restock the various vendors in the shopping district.
Philosopher's stones are an essential item for students at the magic academy, and the demand for them will only be higher in the shopping streets that are built around the academy's location!
Lin Feng asked Han Mo, "Village Chief, where is the source of magic at Listening Wind Farm?"
"Oh ho ho, every year some magic academy students come here in search of the source of magic. I suppose you're here for the source of magic too!"
Hammer said with a smile, "The source of the magic is under the windmill at the end of the flower field."
During the conversation, the group arrived at the West Wing factory, where the factory manager took over Hammer's guidance duties and led them to a warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with blue magic stones, and workers were constantly bringing them in on carts.
Each magic stone was sold for 2000 Locke Coins. After the caravan transported them back, they were sold to merchants for 2600 Locke Coins, and finally sold for 3000 Locke Coins.
This is truly exploitation at every level!
Lin Feng suddenly thought of a way to make money even faster. Didn't he inscribe teleportation runes in the room? If he bought all these magic stones, teleported them all into the room, and then sold them... wouldn't that be incredibly profitable?!
Moreover, there is a source of magic nearby, so there is no need to worry about being "drained" by overusing teleportation magic.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng whispered to Claire, "Master Claire, I think I've discovered a business opportunity that could make a fortune!"
Claire's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "What mischievous idea are you up to now? Tell me!"
"I have a magic... like this, like this..."
"Wait, you mean you only need to apply a mark to teleport, and that mark doesn't require constant mana, ignores distance, only has a limit on the number of marks, and only requires enough mana to teleport items unconditionally... is that right?"
"That makes sense, but I haven't tried it to see if it works..."
Claire gasped. He had never even heard of this kind of magic before; it completely defied the basic laws of magic!
He didn't agree to Lin Feng's request, but instead said, "There are many Locke players who can use teleportation magic. Do you think the source of magic at the academy's headquarters is far from the academy's headquarters?"
"You mean... Locke had this idea a long time ago, but just didn't implement it? Why?"
Lin Feng was somewhat puzzled; it would be against all reason not to make money when there was opportunity.
Claire pointed to the caravan guards who were still chatting and laughing with the factory manager and said, "What do you think they can do?"
"Guard...?"
"Nobles don't need that many guards, and even fewer Lockes stand out in the knightly selections. Most Lockes can only make money by transporting goods. If everyone uses teleportation magic, what will happen to these Lockes?"
"You can do other things..."
Lin Feng was stunned. There were other things that didn't require elves to do, but Locke did them. These Lockes who weren't selected by the Knights had some abilities and were unwilling to just obediently work as laborers.
These people will only become adventurers or dark wizards in large numbers; excessive freedom will ultimately lead to destruction.
Becoming a guard for a caravan and traveling for long periods of time not only depletes their energy, but also keeps them more obedient with the merchant guild watching over them.
Moreover, the compensation is sufficient to give them no reason to do anything outrageous for money.
"Are you short of money?" Claire asked.
"Of course! Just battling wild Pokémon isn't enough to level up quickly."
Lin Feng mentally prepared a "witty remark" and said in a melancholy tone, "The black wizards are becoming more and more active, and I'm afraid they've already prepared a deadly conspiracy behind the scenes."
If I'm not strong enough, I won't be able to protect everyone.
"Idiot! This isn't something a little Locke like you should be worrying about."
Claire gently stroked her beard and said, "Don't underestimate the people in the shopping district. Pikachu, Know-It-All, Annie... they're all experts in elf battles."
What's more, there's an even more powerful alchemy master in front of you!
He took a bottle of red medicine out of his pocket and handed it to Lin Feng.
"This is a secret elixir of the leader's bloodline. Do we really need to buy something like this? I told you to study alchemy properly, but you wouldn't listen."
Lin Feng stared blankly at the small red bottle in his hand, feeling that this short, fat, and bald old man was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
Claire turned her head away, her hands still trembling slightly. 360000 Locke Coins! How could she not feel any pain at all?
He said, "When you go back this time, you must study alchemy with me for at least four hours every day, understand?"
"Mission accomplished!"
Outside the factory in the western district.
A boy nimbly vaulted over the fence and slipped inside. He evaded the sight of all the patrolling personnel and quietly made his way to the vicinity of the warehouse.
Claire twitched her nose, lowered her eyes, and secretly used magic to cover up the commotion, pretending that she knew nothing.
While the guards were talking to the factory manager, the boy picked up a stone and threw it at Lin Feng's feet.
The sudden attack startled him! Lin Feng cautiously observed his surroundings and soon spotted a figure waving at him from the alley behind him.
He was about to report the suspicious Locke when he realized that Locke looked about his age, so he immediately changed his tune.
"Oh ho? You dare to provoke me!"
Lin Feng greeted Claire, "Master Claire, I'm going to take a look over there."
Claire looked at him meaningfully, "Go on, go on."
Let me see who gave you the courage to provoke me? Fish Leong?
Lin Feng chased after the figure, turning through several alleys before finally stopping in front of a huge, flying factory building.
Five young Locke children, four men and one woman, emerged from the factory.
"Tell me, what did you bring me here for?"
The man who led him there, Locke, seemed to be their leader. He stepped forward and said, "I heard you're a freshman at the magic academy?"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. "That's right. Is there a problem?"
The youngest, a boy named Locke who looked only eight years old, shouted indignantly, "Hmph! You magic academy students don't even look as powerful as the boss! Why are you the only ones allowed to enter the magic academy?"
"Exactly! They say the magic academy recruits young Lockes from all over the continent, but they only recruit noble Lockes."
The eldest brother didn't refute, but instead took out a Gulu Ball, stepped forward, and said, "I've already studied the attribute counter chart released by Enzo from the Magic Academy, and I even specially assembled a perfect team of spirits!"
"If I had the resources of a magic academy, you privileged few wouldn't even see my back! In the end, you're all just useless trash built on resources!"
"Ha! Even Griffin wouldn't dare say he can put together a perfect team, what right do you, a mere brat, have to say that?"
Lin Feng got angry.
He couldn't sense a single trace of magic from these children, and even the leader had pitifully low magical power! A bunch of clueless Lockes were just showing off their presence in front of him.
I can't stand even a little bit.
The leader threw out a Goo-Goo Ball, scoffed, and retorted, "So what's your opinion? Which types of Pokémon can your team counter? Pinkie Pie, teach this braggart a lesson!"
"Hehe, what team am I on?"
"Duck Gigi will crush your entire team!"
Lin Feng was furious. He took out the Gulu Ball, his face growing increasingly gloomy. This brat not only threw stones at him, but also insulted him impolitely.
Unlike other protagonists, he doesn't tolerate being humiliated by the weak!
"Fugui, drink the leader's secret medicine without holding back."
