Chapter 171 - Hitting The Motherlode! (1/2)
Not surprised with getting received by an assistant, Felix answered, ”Hello, I want to place an order.”
”With pleasure sir. May I know which potion you want to concoct?” She asked.
”Elemental Potion.”
”Good, I assume that you have collected all the necessary materials, correct?” She asked.
”Indeed.”
”Excellent! I believe that you have seen your position in the queue is going to be 360. This meant it's going to be a while until Madam Hala addresses your order.” She asked, ”Are you alright with those arrangements?”
”May I ask when exactly is it going to be my turn?” Instead of answering, Felix asked her.
”Based on Madam Hala's concoction speed, it will take around two months or so before she focuses on your potion.” She replied.
'Uhm...two months? Right before the world representative battle.' He pondered for a second before telling her, ”Alright, That works for me. May I know how much it will cost me?”
”It depends on the grade of your elemental flower. If you are planning on using the common grade, the fees are 200 million. On the other hand, the fees for the uncommon are 350 million.”
ssssss!
Felix drew a deep breath through his nose, trying his best to not curse. He knew that the price was going to be exorbitant, but still, he didn't think it would reach 350 million!
She swiftly clarified after hearing his silence, ”Concocting with uncommon elemental flower is going to be harder by five times than using a common elemental flower, thus an extra fee is needed.” She added, ”Plus, Madam Hala's success rate is quite high when compared to her sister witches. Hence, the price is completely justified.”
Though Felix understood what she meant, he was still pained by the amount.
”Can I have a discount since this is my first purchase?” He asked with a hopeful tone.
”Sorry.”
”Sigh, whatever, please email me the contract.” Dispirited, he said while rubbing his eyelids.
”I'm happy that you chose Madam Hala's services. We hope we won't disappoint your expectation.” She said with an uplift tone.
He might feel downcast but the assistant was sure glad about securing another order.
”Goodbye.” Felix said, hanging up.
The moment he received the contract, there was no need to continue talking to her.
He soon opened his email inbox and found that the email was buried between three new emails.
It seems like agencies, clans, and such were still not getting the memo that he had no interest in contacting any one of them.
After opening the email, he read it slowly with his eyes while marking things that he needed later, like the address of the witch.
After all, he needs to send those materials to her, and he knew that it was going to cost him a leg since the Forsythia Witch Empire was in a completely different Galaxy!
The only good news about this was that their Galaxy was only 3.5 million light-years away from the Milky Way Galaxy, which was going to facilitate the deliveries between them and also the shipping fees.
After a while, he wrote down his own address as well on the contract and signed it. He then sent it back to the assistant.
As for the payment? It was wired automatically after he signed, taking away the streaming revenue that he just got.
”Let's see when that Fatty is going to arrive.” After dealing with the potion situation, Felix murmured while checking on the time.
Soon, he saw that only one hour was left before Bodidi brings him his delivery to the island.
After all, three days had gone since he gave Bodidi the serial codes for the five bloodline bottles and Melon Fish Leg.
He didn't inform the Queen before he slept to help him wake up for no reason. He was worried that he would oversleep and Bodidi would find him still in the VR Pod.
Based on that bastard's personality, he would spit on the VR Pod and throw the bottles on the floor then leave hastily.
Felix didn't want that to happen as he still needed to talk to him and also give him the useless bottles to be sold to Looby. He was relying on Looby to pay the debt of Mr. Goati.
This was kinda funny as Felix literally would have to add only 5% of each bottle's original price then give the total amount to Mr. Goati.
....
One hour later, in the real world...
Whoosh!
A medium-sized wormhole was opened in the middle of Felix's suite living room. Felix grinned after seeing the blue-scaled Fatty Worm wiggle inside the room with a bit of difficulty. Though, in the end, he managed to push himself through.
Thud!
”Brother Fatty, I see that you started relaxing on your diet.” Felix said while leaning on the wall.
”I see that you are still being a prick.” Fatty Worm made an 'X' shape with his receptors, giving Felix the Worm Race's special middle finger.
Felix chuckled and asked him, ”Did you get everything?”
