Farming in the Magical World

Chapter 524 Business is business

Okay, Lenny understood immediately!

It's probably because that guy Cliff couldn't resist showing it off among those knights, which is why he revealed it so early!

Air conditioners may seem simple, but the evaporator used for heat dissipation and cooling is extremely difficult to manufacture. Even castles are not yet widespread with them. His previous plan was to launch this product after some time had passed.

But since Simmons had come knocking on his door, he didn't bother to hide it anymore and shouted, "Black Tiger, go and move the air conditioner from my room!"

Yes, he brought one with him in his carriage this time when he came to the capital!

However, in order to fit it into a carriage, he had the heating function removed, so its size was not much larger than a microwave oven!

To be honest, people who are used to air conditioning find it hard to fall asleep peacefully in the summer without it!

Not only can he not do it, but even Melissa can't do it now!

Simmons and Robin looked at the small square box on the table with curiosity, and they were even more surprised when Lanny turned it on and they felt the room temperature drop rapidly.

After watching for a while and realizing what was inside, Robin became somewhat dismissive!

"Is it ice magic inside?"

“Yes, it’s ice magic!” Lanny nodded with a smile!

Robin spoke casually, but Simmons' expression turned serious. "Why don't I see a place where magic can be input?"

"Hehe, no magic power is needed!" Lanny chuckled, quite pleased with himself!

Simmons' eyes lit up. "Oh, then does that mean this thing can keep running indefinitely?"

"Of course... no!"

Subconsciously, Lanny blurted out those words!

He then sorted out the inexplicable thought that had popped into his head and said, "After a while, it will still need some maintenance and upkeep. You should know that such a magical thing is naturally delicate and fragile!"

Simmons's words reminded Lenny of the infamous... ...plan scrapped.

Logically speaking, with a mini pentagram array, as long as it's not damaged, this air conditioner should indeed be able to keep running indefinitely!

But how can that be? If you buy a product and use it for a lifetime, how can you make money?

No, no, we must add a lifespan switch to future products!

But Simmons didn't realize how much more gold coins the nobles of the entire continent would have to pay for this thing just because of his words!

He was now speechless at Robin's nonchalance, and pointed to the air conditioner on the table, saying earnestly, "Robin, you can't underestimate it, it's an amazing thing!"

Putting aside whether a magician would be willing to use their precious magic to cool things down, what about the nobles in the mortal kingdoms?

They don't know magic, but they are the ones who want to enjoy themselves the most. What should we do?

And the most wonderful thing about this thing is that it doesn't need a magician to provide magic power!

This means that even families without magicians can buy and enjoy this item!

Once this thing comes out, won't it be snapped up by these nobles?

"Brother-in-law... cough cough, Lord Lanny, how much do you plan to sell this for?"

Back in his seat, Simmons slowly and deliberately asked about Lanny's price, as if the person with the piercing gaze just moments before wasn't him at all.

Haha, he really is a businessman... ...Looking at Simmons's excessively youthful face, Lenny chuckled inwardly!

But no matter how many business tricks you have, the initiative is in my hands, kid!

Holding his teacup, Lanny seemed unconcerned and casually said, "Simmons, I think you've misunderstood. I have no intention of selling this!"

“How… ” Simmons was taken aback.

But then he realized that this might just be one of Lanny's tactics to raise prices!

Swallowing the words that had just escaped his lips, he composed himself before speaking again, "Sir, this is a huge deal involving tens of thousands of gold coins, or even more..."

Talking about business is his forte. Since you, Lanny, want to raise the price, it proves that you want to make money. I don't believe you can resist the temptation of tens of thousands of gold coins.

To his surprise, Lanny continued to shake his head. "Simmons, you may not realize it, but this thing isn't quite mature yet. I really don't plan to sell it now!"

This isn't just him being pretentious; the air conditioning technology really isn't very advanced yet.

He did implement anti-dismantling measures for the formation. If anyone attempts to dismantle the formation and wiring inside, the fire explosion formation inside will be detonated, blasting the formation and wiring to smithereens. These are basic operations.

The problem is that there are still some wires outside the protection zone inside. He is very worried that someone might use these magic wires for something... like buying an air conditioner as a magic power replenisher?

Of course, the problems don't stop there!

Leaving aside efficiency and such, he still has no idea how to address lifespan limitations, and he hasn't even implemented the simplest temperature control.

Current temperature control is almost entirely achieved by adjusting the power of the array, and it does not react to the ambient temperature to automatically adjust the power.

Simmons stared blankly at Lanny for a few moments, realizing he seemed genuinely to believe it. His eyes darted around, and he looked at Melissa. "Sister Melissa, what do you think..."

Seeing Simmons suddenly acting like a pitiful little brother next door, Melissa suddenly felt she couldn't take it anymore. After being away from her hometown for so many years, she just couldn't bear it.

"How about we give Simmons a few first?"

Frowning, Melissa slowly said, "Flaws can be fixed gradually, at worst... at worst..."

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her. Despite having no business experience whatsoever, she blurted out, "At worst, we can just upgrade it. Our Rubik's Cube has an upgraded version too!"

Lenny stared at her, wide-eyed, thinking, "Are you serious? To actually come up with such a brilliant idea, amazing!"

Since she had already spoken, Lanny didn't intend to insist anymore and was also prepared to give in.

Actually, there's more to it than that. Back then, in order to save Melissa, he had promised Simmons that his family owed him a favor!

He didn't think he could pretend nothing had happened just because the other party hadn't mentioned it!

Seeing Lanny's gaze, she suddenly became insecure and stammered, "No, there's no such saying?"

"Yes, how could it not exist? You said it exists, so it must exist!"

Hearing her husband's words, she nodded contentedly, picked up her teacup, and lay back down, completely unaware of how much trouble she had caused Lanny!

Rubbing his forehead, Lanny said helplessly, "How about this, Simmons? When I return to my territory, I can provide you with a few units first. You can transport them back to Bauhinia to open up the market. We'll take it slow from here on out!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law..."

Before Simmons could even express his delight, Lanny raised his hand. "But let me make this clear first, this thing isn't perfect yet. You'd better make that clear when you sell it!"

"Also, the price can't be too low!"

"Of course, of course! How could something this good be cheap?" Simmons rubbed his hands excitedly and tentatively asked, "How much are you looking to sell it for?"

To his surprise, Lanny waved his hand this time, saying, "I won't name a price. This time, you name your price..."

I knew it! Favors aren't that easy to use!

Although he seemed to have achieved his goal by using Melissa's longing for her hometown, he also lost control of the situation.

If you charge too high a price, you'll suffer a loss. Business is all about making money!

If we set the price too low, Lanny definitely won't agree; business is business!

After hesitating for a long time, he finally held up one finger. "100?"
