Big Capitalist

"Old Deng, at the rate you eat, the free-range chickens you raise will probably be eaten up soon." Merlin handed the last lotus leaf beggar chicken to Weber, who instantly became melancholy after taking it.

Weber looked at the remaining red-crested and white-feathered chickens, and a sense of guilt and remorse arose towards his old friend. However, it was quickly wiped out by the aroma of the beggar chickens. Instead, he sighed that he had raised too few chickens in the past few years and they were not enough to eat.

"It must be said that this walking chicken is indeed very delicious. I think we should let the people from the Beast Taming Academy study how to properly breed this walking chicken so that they can reproduce quickly."

After Merlin finished speaking, Weber instantly felt that this plan was feasible. The Beast Taming School of the Arcane Academy was an academy that studied the taming of magical beasts and contracted them to fight for them. It was also conducting research and improvement on magical beasts.

"You're right. Professional matters should be done by professionals."

Weber nodded in approval. He couldn't wait to use his power to make those useless guys at the Beast Taming Academy serve him.

No one knows what the Beast Taming Academy has been researching over the years. A large amount of the academy's funds have been used up, but nothing has been spent, and there is no income at all. If they can't come up with a way to quickly breed free-range chickens... bah, bah, bah, the red-crested and white-feathered chicken, he will definitely suspend their research funding.

"Old Deng, besides the communication crystal, don't you have anything else to give me?"

Merlin extended his hand to Weber. Weber glanced at the communication crystal in his other hand and snorted, "Boy, don't be ungrateful for what you have. The communication crystal in your hand is not something that everyone has. After all, with this crystal, you can contact me at any time in the academy."

"What's the point of contacting you? I used so many spices to make you the beggar's chicken in lotus leaves, and I ran out of materials for my alchemy homework. You have to compensate me a little? Otherwise, how can I hand in my homework?"

Merlin pointed at the chicken bones wrapped in lotus leaves on the ground and complained.

Weber really wanted to ask who the kid's alchemy teacher was. For such a matter, he only needed to say hello. But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up. After all, with his status, personally taking care of a kid would easily arouse suspicion from many people, and it was not impossible that it would cause turmoil in the academy and even attract the attention of other empires.

What's more, what if this little guy doesn't have the motivation to study [Spice Science] (cuisine) after being given special care? That won't work.

"I don't have these spices with me. Tell me what spices you need and the location of your dormitory through the communication crystal, and I'll have someone deliver it to you when the time comes."

"Okay, I see you're a rich man, so please don't default on your debt. Hess Jones Weber is your real name, right? If you default on your debt, I'll spread the news in the academy that you defaulted on my spices." Merlin looked at the other party with suspicion, his face full of distrust.

Weber's face darkened. How could the dean of the Arcane Academy, the demigod of the Azer Continent, refuse to pay for such a small amount of spices? Little boy, you really don't know my strength.

"Don't worry, I won't owe you anything!"

After eating and drinking, Merlin returned to his dormitory. Just as he was about to open the door, he saw Fate, who had just finished the aristocratic etiquette course, walking slowly down the corridor like a tired stupid dog.

Fate looked like a zombie at the moment. He forced a smile when he saw Merlin and said, "Hey, would you like some ice blueberries?"

Still thinking about your iceberg blueberries?

Merlin wanted to know how delicious this thing was, so when he saw me, he asked for some ice blueberries.

"You can try it. Aren't you taking etiquette courses exclusively for the royal family? Why do you look so tired?"

Fate grabbed Merlin's arm and struggled to stand up straight, tapping his back casually. "You don't know how strict the etiquette teacher's class is. There are corresponding standards for standing, sitting and even walking forward. Damn it, I just want to be a useless person who eats and waits for death, why should I learn this stuff?"

Merlin knew how complicated and cumbersome the etiquette of the nobility and the royal family was. He remembered that he had been learning aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, and the "horrible" course that was engraved in his bones was still fresh in his memory.

"I'm going to take a good rest now, and relax with the body water I mixed myself."

As Fate said this, he opened the door of his room. As soon as he opened the door, a dark shadow rushed out.

boom--

Fate looked at the huge black owl in front of him with pain. There was still some ice blueberry juice at the corners of its mouth.

The ice blueberries placed on the windowsill in the room were scattered everywhere, and of course most of them went into the owl's stomach.

"Ah! Damn it! It's you guys again, staring at my ice field blueberries, right!"

Merlin looked at the bag of spices tied to the owl and realized that these were probably the spices given to him by Lao Deng, but there were so many of them!

Merlin was a little shocked, looking at the big bag of spices. There were more than just the varieties he took from alchemy class. As long as it was the spice that Merlin could think of, he basically sent it to Lao Deng using the communication crystal.

After all, if you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you’d be a bastard.

Anyway, the family is bankrupt, so they have to find other ways to make money, right?

The owl knew it was in the wrong, so it hid its head under its feathers and stood in the corner, allowing Fate to scold it. Even when Fate kicked it a few times, it didn't react.

Fate was furious when he saw this scene and yelled, "It's always like this, it's always like this! Is it worth it just for some ice blueberries? You sent Merlin's things to me again... Wait..."

"Why are there so many spices, Merlin, where did you get them?" Fate looked at the note signed by Leo Merlin on the bag and was shocked to see the various kinds of spices inside.

"A kind-hearted old man gave it to me. It's not really a gift, I earned it."

Fate grabbed a handful of spices and put them in front of his nose to smell them. "High-quality products. This big bag of spices must be worth thousands of gold coins, right?"

"Is this thing so valuable?" Merlin was a little stunned. The bag was neither big nor small, about the same size as a normal supermarket shopping bag, except that the variety of spices inside was ridiculous, and most of them were dry ingredients.

"You think spices are cheap? Have you forgotten how your family went bankrupt?"

Merlin raised his middle finger at Fate and said, "Remember to bring me some ice blueberries. I need to study the homework I need to hand in in class tomorrow."

"Damn, didn't you see that this damn owl ate all the blueberries in the ice field? But I still hid a little bit. I'll bring it to you when I finish using the body water."

"Then I don't want it..."
