After leaving the coffee shop, Chai Anping and Prosesi parted ways. I don't know whether the little fat man finally believed Chai Anping's words, or because his sinister "I lied to you" at the end made the little fat man extremely vigilant. This was what he was doing.
The little fat man rationally chose to do this.
The expression on his face when he left was quite like the Meituan guy who went to the funeral home to deliver food in the middle of the night.
Chai Anping made an appointment with him tomorrow to go to the workshop in the west of the city to look at the house. Just in case, he also introduced his two demon hunter brothers to the little fat man. Once the little fat man ran away, he would slander him as a fugitive.
wizard.
The little fat man was so angry that he drank all the coffee in the cup and ended the friendly conversation in the evening.
On the way home, Chai Anping was in a happy mood and decided to start learning alchemy when he went back.
It was already late when he got home, and Chai Anping was surprised to find that his roommate hadn't come back yet.
"Is this... finally discovering the nightlife in the capital?"
Shaking his head and laughing, he went directly to the study and started reading those obscure alchemy books.
…
…
Noon the next day.
Ellerbella had already gone out early, and Chai Anping had lunch and was preparing to go to the agreed place with Prosesi.
"I don't know what Ellerbella is busy with these days."
When he saw Prosesi squatting on the street and looking around from time to time, he smiled knowingly. It seemed that the little fat man had made a wise choice. The next step was to get on his way with alchemy and bring him in.
Although the little fat man knows many alchemists, there are none who are willing to teach others his inheritance for free.
This kind of extremely private knowledge is more likely to cause the disciples to starve to death.
"Good afternoon, Prosthesi!"
"It's not good at all! Sir!" The little fat man gritted his teeth and stood up when he saw him: "I'm really not poisoned?"
Chai Anping gave him a funny look when he heard this, and then nodded: "Well, you are really not poisoned."
"I do not believe!"
"???"
The little fat man said angrily: "I sold the three bottles of essence you gave me last night, and the boss almost went crazy... This is the first time I've seen the boss look like that!
He said that the three bottles of essence were almost 100% pure, and also said that using this method on the essence of Fierce Fang is simply a waste of natural resources..."
What a grievance Prosesi is!
Who would have thought that this out-of-nowhere young guard would actually be an alchemist, and he seemed to be a very good one.
"So, are you really the alchemist?" the little fat man said cautiously.
"You finally believe me this time?" Chai Anping laughed upon seeing this.
Prothesi nodded: "Sir, I believed you from the beginning!"
Believe me, you idiot!
Chai Anping smiled and patted his shoulder: "Yes, I know, I will detoxify you another day."
The little fat man's legs softened when he heard this, and he was so surprised that he had indeed been attacked!
"Ahaha, sir... let's go see the workshop first."
"Uh-huh."
The two of them stopped a carriage with their hands and rushed directly towards the west of the city.
There are many workshops all over the west side of Demacia City, and many chambers of commerce's factories are located here. The various factories have caused the air environment here to plummet.
"Sir, this area is the equipment smelting area. Sixty percent of the empire's weapons orders flow from here."
Prosesi knew this area very well. As the carriage drove by, he introduced the surrounding factories to Chai Anping. Chai Anping was attracted by the guards patrolling the roadside. These soldiers were not like him as a layman, but they were all burly and domineering, with strong postures.
Stern.
"I've never been to this area before." Chai Anping thought to himself as he looked through the car window.
The rented alchemy workshop was almost at the edge of the city. It took the carriage more than an hour for the two of them to reach their destination. Prosesi took the initiative to pay the fare.
"Haha, sir, please."
"The alchemy workshop here belongs to the 'Cyrode' family. Their family has relatively good credibility. Many alchemists like to rent laboratories from them."
Seeing that Chai Anping was a little confused, Prosesi continued: "The Sirode family is a great aristocracy. Not only are they hereditary dukes, but the biological mother of the contemporary emperor is from the Sirode family..."
"Queen Mother?"
"Uh... this word seems to be subtle and accurate!" Prosthesi exclaimed in surprise.
"Ahem, go ahead."
"Because of this relationship, the Sirode family's status is very transcendent, and their alchemy workshop is naturally very safe. That is the office of their alchemy workshop. Let's go there, sir."
"good."
He has just seen the houses in this area, which are indeed very good. If possible, he would rent them here... It is just a little far from home, but if there is a carriage, it will not be a big problem.
And according to Prothesi, there is also an alchemy market under the official jurisdiction, and most of the equipment and materials needed can be purchased here.
This alone is enough to make him excited!
Walking into the office of Sirode Alchemy Workshop, there are many young clerks sitting in the elegantly decorated room, busy with business.
Prosesi led Chai Anping to the window where he usually checked in, with an innocent smile on his face.
"Mr. Hawkins! I'm here to patronize your business again!"
"Well, it's Proseisi!" Behind the window was a short, half-bald old man with a mean face. However, he managed to squeeze out a smile after seeing the little fat man. He was obviously very fond of this frequent man.
High-rollers who patronize their own performance have a good impression.
"What are you planning to do today? Are you planning to rent it for a short period of time?"
"Haha, Mr. Hawkins, this is a big deal." Prothesi winked and said, "This time the boss wants to rent it for at least one month, or even two months!"
Regarding how to rent it, Chai Anping and him had already discussed it on the carriage, and now they left it all to the little fat man to negotiate.
"So long?" Hawkins raised an eyebrow. Although the rental price is lower, renting for a month or two is not cheap, but to be honest, the alchemist doesn't seem to be short of this amount of money.
"Yes, but this time the boss has higher requirements for the location of the laboratory. Boss Hawkins, do you have any better laboratories here?"
Hawkins waved his hand after hearing this: "There are so many good laboratories, this is not a problem."
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Chai Anping behind Prosesi, and then took it back - he was too young, and he didn't dress like a member of a noble family.
"Hey, Mr. Hawkins, I knew you would take care of me." Prothesi smiled: "In addition to renting a laboratory, my boss this time also needs a full set of alchemy equipment."
"Well, it's just a small matter." Hawkins took a form and handed it to him: "The information requirements for long-term leasing are stricter... but you just have to follow the old rules and don't cause any trouble. Everything will be easy to discuss."
"I see!"
The little fat man chuckled and started to fill out the form. Chai Anping came over to take a look and saw that all the information filled in was the little fat man's own information.
"The... price?"
"If you can really rent it for a full month, I can make the decision and give you a 20% discount." Hawkins smiled.
"Ha! How generous of you, Mr. Pukins!"
If the alchemy workshop is rented with a complete set of equipment, the fee per day is 50 silver coins for a short term and 30 silver coins for a long term.
Without the discount, renting Chai Anping for one month would cost at least 9 gold coins. Don't think that this price is cheap. In fact, it is already a very expensive price.
Chai Anping's monthly salary as a palace guard is only 10 gold coins, which is already middle class in the capital of Demacia!
It can only be said that this price is just a taste of the alchemist. If Chai Anping hadn't made a fortune recently, he would have been persuaded to give up by this price.
If you just rent a house in an ordinary residential building in the capital, even if you rent an entire small villa, the monthly price will be slightly more expensive than this.
And if Hawkins gives a 20% discount, Chai Anping can save 180 silver coins a month, which is already very good.
There are benefits to spending so much money. The lease contract states that, except for alchemy equipment, all property losses caused by alchemy accidents will be borne by the workshop itself, except of course for prohibited experiments that are expressly prohibited.
Hawkins took out several keys from the cabinet under the table and wrote different numbers on them.
"After you finish writing the form, ask your subordinates outside to take you to these laboratories. If you like which one you like, come back and sign a formal contract. The supporting experimental equipment will be sent there today."
"I know! Thank you Mr. Hawkins!"
"Where, where..."
Hawkins thought that if this order was completed, it would be at least 7 gold coins. He might have to thank this little fat man!
