"I see……"

After that, with the old president's explanation, Fang Zheng and Nanali finally understood what he meant.

Waterbirds are an elemental creature from the water elemental world. They can devour all life and then transform it into the most primitive life elements. Through these life elements, it can be judged whether the things it devours are good or bad. If there are enough life elements, then it is naturally a health product for strengthening the body. On the contrary, if the life elements are extremely low, then it may contain terrible toxins.

But the orange tree that the water bird just devoured contained a lot of life elements, even more than usual. Of course, this must be the effect of the "fertilizer" made from the slime's body fluid.

Although Fang Zheng didn't understand most of what the old man said, he did understand the conclusion. In short, the fruits grown with this fertilizer are not only harmless, but also have higher nutritional value than before, and are sweeter and more delicious - just look at the hungry look of Kulia across from him.

"This is a groundbreaking alchemical invention, whether it's the greenhouse or the slime fertilizer... Mr. Ezio, Ms. Nunnally, everything you've done is really beyond my expectations."

Sitting at the table, the old man expressed his excitement without hesitation, which made Nunnally feel a little uneasy. She had never thought that she would discuss issues with the president of the Alchemist Association on an equal footing.

"You are exaggerating, Mr. President, we..."

"No, no, no, that's not an exaggeration at all, Miss Nunnally."

The old man waved his hand, interrupting Nunnally.

"We have discovered slimes for hundreds, thousands, or even longer. Among our ancestors, so many people, and tens of thousands of alchemists, only you have discovered the usefulness of these slimes and turned them from theory into reality..."

"But, but this is not my own achievement..."

As she spoke, Nanali looked at Nymph who was standing quietly behind Fang Zheng. In fact, the little angel was the first to discover it, but Fang Zheng and Nymph seemed to have no interest in this false reputation.

"In fact, we just came up with a whimsical idea. Without the help of Miss Nunnally, it would not be possible to turn it into reality."

"Yes... your ideas are very unique, Mr. Ezio. I wonder if you are interested in learning alchemy? I think you may have talent in this area."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the old man nodded and extended the invitation without hesitation. This was not because the old man was giving Fang Zheng face, but because he admired everything Fang Zheng had done. Daydreaming is the nature of any alchemist, but there is a difference between imagining out of thin air and improving and innovating on the existing basis.

Not to mention that Fang Zheng's ideas are practical and universal, and can even affect the whole world. In the old man's opinion, if he can learn alchemy, then he will have a bright future.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I don't have much talent in alchemy."

If possible, Fang Zheng also wanted to agree, but he knew his own business, and he really had no talent in this area. The number of explosions was more than Nanali's, but Nanali would only explode when she was researching new products, but he would fail if he followed the existing steps. This shows that...some things just can't be done, and there is no way to change them.

“What a pity.”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the old man didn't say anything else. After all, everyone has their own aspirations.

"Well, let's get back to the original question... Are you planning to make the greenhouse and slime fertilizer public? If you do, we can issue a statement..."

The profit model of alchemists is carried out through the Alchemist Association. When an alchemist invents a patent, he will "submit" it to the association, and then the association will list all these patents after adopting it. Take potions for example. If an alchemist creates a new healing potion, he will sell the formula to the association. The association will then publish the formula to see if alchemist shops and workshops in various places are willing to "buy" it. If they are willing, they will spend a sum of money to obtain the "patent use rights" of this potion formula, and then they can get the formula and start selling it.

For every potion sold, the inventor of the formula would take a certain commission. Of course, a bottle of potion might only be a few copper coins. But if this potion was sold all over the country or even the world, then it would accumulate to thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins a day.

As for whether someone will lie about sales, the Alchemist Association is not worried about this issue at all, because all alchemical creations must be sold in the "official store" designated by the Alchemist Association. Therefore, there are detailed records of how many alchemical creations were produced and how many were sold.

Of course, you can also open a black shop privately, but once you are discovered... imprisonment and fines are inevitable.

Generally speaking, the Alchemist Association does not conduct "advertising campaigns" for all of their "inventions". They only compile the inventions into books every month and send them to large alchemy shops. After all, the basic application of alchemy is still at the commercial level, and only when merchants have a demand will alchemists manufacture them.

As for military supplies, that is a problem on another level.

What the old man was talking about was something like "National Quality Certification Recommendation". Obviously, if it could make a name for itself in the early stages, it would be great. However... Fang Zheng had other plans.

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, President, but we have our own plans... In fact, I think it would be meaningless even if you disclosed these formulas now. Because if they don't know how to use this thing, then it would just be a waste of time even if they prepared it."

"Oh... that's true..."

Hearing this, the old man frowned and nodded. He also knew very well that this alchemical product was not a potion that could produce effects just by drinking it. Many alchemical equipment ideas were good, but ordinary people didn't know that they couldn't use it, or they had a misunderstanding, which resulted in a good alchemical product receiving a lot of bad reviews. This was not the first time that the Alchemist Association had seen such a thing.

"So, you already have an idea?"

"certainly."

Fang Zheng was full of confidence about this. He was not good at chemical explosions, but planning and marketing were his strengths. After all, if he wanted to trick people into spending money, the first thing he had to do was to deceive them.

As for the method, Fang Zheng had already thought of it. Since the president had confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the oranges, and seeing that Kulia was very happy eating them, he would start from this aspect. It just so happened that the oranges in this acre of experimental field were about to be harvested. When they were sold in the city of Korhal, it would definitely cause a sensation. At that time, Fang Zheng would take the opportunity to purchase a few acres of land and build a greenhouse base specifically for planting and experiments. Not only could it increase the yield, but it would also allow others to witness the benefits of greenhouses and slime fertilizers with their own eyes. In this way, Fang Zheng did not believe that the group of people would remain indifferent.

You should know that the city of Khara is located in the north of the Holy Kingdom, and the winter here is unusually long. It is still two months before spring. According to previous rules, you have to wait at least another half a year if you want to eat oranges.

What a sight it would be to see these fresh and delicious oranges appear in the city of Korhal during the snowy winter.

When Fang Zheng thought of this, he became extremely excited.
