Big Capitalist

When Jin Henry saw Alison in front of him, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes. After confirming that he was not mistaken, he opened his mouth wide.

What the hell? Is this the money-grubbing, miserly Alison? Am I seeing things?

Alison walked up to Merlin and saluted gracefully, "Passage Alison, a third-year senior in the Alchemy Department's Magic Dynamics, welcome to the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop."

"Hello, senior. I'm Leo Merlin, a freshman in the Alchemy Department."

Merlin returned a noble salute. Alison looked at Merlin's elegant salute, and was slightly stunned, looking at Merlin's face a little infatuatedly.

Jin Henry rolled his eyes when he saw the infatuated look of this guy. He coughed, which made Alison come back to her senses.

Alison blushed slightly, lowered her head and asked shyly, "Hello, Junior Merlin, are you planning to order alchemical tools?"

Merlin smiled and said, "Sister Alison, I plan to build ten alchemical furnaces. However, the high-level magic crystals on this blueprint need to be replaced with secondary magic crystals. After all, I can't afford such expensive alchemical materials right now."

When Jin Henry heard that Merlin wanted to replace the high-level magic crystals in the blueprint with secondary magic crystals, he instantly lost a lot of interest. Although making kilns could also make them some money, it was not as quick to make money as high-level magic crystals.

"Junior brother, you are really thrifty. I actually plan to recommend you to change to secondary magic crystals. This way you can save tens of thousands of gold coins. Junior brother, take a look at this blueprint. Some places can be replaced with lower-grade materials. I think it will be enough."

Alison stretched out her hand to hold her hair, bent down slightly, unfolded the blueprint in her hand and said, "Junior, you see these materials are all relatively high-level and can completely replace some lower-level materials. By the way, Junior Merlin, what are you planning to do with this alchemical kiln?"

“It’s just for grilling food.”

"I see. In this case, many functions of this alchemy furnace can be discarded, and the temperature range can be adjusted down. The production cost of such an alchemy furnace can be reduced by about 40%..."

Jin Henry looked at Alison in confusion. When did the greedy and miser Alison become so generous that she actually took the initiative to help customers save money!

Is it because my junior is too handsome?

"Junior, this blueprint can be improved."

"Senior, I think you have done a great job now. I want to know how many gold coins are needed to make an alchemy furnace like this?"

Alison picked up a pen and did some calculations on the paper. Jin Henry, who was standing beside her, coughed twice, intending to remind Alison to be careful, as alchemists also needed to make money.

However, Alison seemed to have not heard Henry Jin cough at all. She moved closer to Merlin and handed him the blueprint. "In this case, an alchemy furnace only costs about 800 gold coins. Of course, if Merlin waits a little longer, the price may be even cheaper."

Jin Henry felt his heart aching. What kind of wisdom do you have, Allison? Eight hundred gold coins, and one secondary magic crystal costs four or five hundred gold coins. Add up the rest of the materials, and you only charge thirty or fifty gold coins for the alchemist's labor fee?

When Merlin heard Alison say that the price still had room to drop, his eyes lit up immediately. He suddenly grabbed Alison's hands with both hands and said sincerely, "Senior, I'm not particularly anxious. I can wait."

Alison looked at her hand being tightly held by Merlin, and her face instantly turned red to her ears. She tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth from grinning, and controlled her emotions and said, "Don't worry, Junior Merlin, leave this matter to me, Senior Sister. I will definitely give you a cheaper price."

"Thank you very much, Senior. Do you need me to pay a part of the deposit?"

Merlin took out the magic crystal card. Jin Henry on the side rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't this nonsense? How can I build an alchemy kiln for you without paying a deposit?"

Just as Henry Jin was about to speak, Alison quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, wasn't Junior Merlin recommended by Teacher Harrington? He is one of us, and we don't need to collect any deposit from one of us. The senior and I will take care of it."

Jin Henry was dumbfounded. What the hell, you don't even want a deposit? Even if you bargained for it, this is nearly 10,000 gold coins, right? You actually said you don't want a deposit? Don't involve me in your promises to others. Now, I have to pay for the production.

"Wouldn't this be good?"

"Nothing bad!"

Jin Henry had to stop his junior schoolmate. If she continued like this, he would have to pay money to help his junior schoolmate Merlin build the alchemy kiln.

Just as Jin Henry was about to speak, Alison suddenly turned around and elbowed Jin Henry in the stomach in the blind spot where Merlin couldn't see!

boom--

Jin Henry gagged. The force of the elbow almost wiped out his breakfast. He staggered back and looked at Alison with an expression of disbelief.

"What's wrong with Senior Jin Henry?" Merlin noticed that there was something wrong with Jin Henry's expression.

Alison helped senior Jin Henry to a table nearby, let him lean against it, and gave him a warning look, indicating that he should not talk too much.

"Nothing, maybe I'm a little tired and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

Alison smiled at Merlin, then took Merlin's arm and said, "Merlin, leave the alchemy furnace to us. You haven't been to the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop yet, right? Come on, I'll take you around and familiarize you with the alchemy environment here in advance."

Merlin gladly accepted it. After all, Alison had helped him so much and saved him so much money, so it was completely OK for him to provide some emotional value.

About an hour later, under Alison's reluctant gaze, she personally saw Merlin off.

Jin Henry walked up to her with a cup of coffee in one hand and his other hand on his stomach and said, "Still looking, Junior Merlin has left."

Alison looked at the direction where Merlin left, holding her face, and said shyly like a little woman, "Senior, I might be in love."

Jin Henry took a sip of coffee and sneered, "Are you in love? You are just lusting after his body, you are a slut!"

"I just realized that besides elves, humans can also be so handsome." After saying this, Alison glanced at the senior's face and then sighed.

Kim Henry: "???"

"What do you mean by sighing?"

Alison looked at Jin Henry with eyes full of disgust. She pushed Jin Henry away and sighed, "Oh, it would be great if my partner was the handsome and smart junior Merlin. It's no wonder that I don't have any alchemical inspiration to work with an ugly old man every day."

Jin Henry was furious "Chao!"
