Chapter 164: Working in the tower, salary procurement!
"The most delicious meat, not that!"
The words of Wind Serpent Hakkar surprised Lu Feng a little.
The dragon scale horse was just a byproduct that he bred after practicing the Fire Dragon Divine Weapon Curse. At most, it had a stronger dragon bloodline. He couldn't even eat it, so how could it taste good?
Lu Feng guessed that Hakkar said it was delicious because of the special taste of the wind snake race.
Talking about this, Lu Feng smiled and discussed with Hakkar about how to eat dragon scale horse.
Without saying a few words, he, led by Haka, came to Ms. Natasha's office.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, Lu Feng and Haka entered a hall filled with books. Bright light scattered down from the huge magic stone lamp above their heads, illuminating the entire hall.
In the center of the bright hall, Ms. Natasha was handling the affairs of the tower in an orderly manner at her desk.
When Ms. Natasha saw Lu Feng coming, she nodded to him and asked him to wait for a while.
After a while, Ms. Natasha finished processing a document in her hand and called Lu Feng. The wind snake Haka, who was waiting on the side, also flapped its wings and left the hall.
"Rester, you should be prepared when you come here. Come here, I will teach you how to handle various affairs of the Verdant Tower!"
"Okay!" Lu Feng nodded and came to Ms. Natasha.
The lady picked up a document in front of her and began to explain it to Lu Feng:
"All the affairs of our Verdant Tower are reported to me and need my attention. There are eight categories in total: internal affairs, procurement, planning, finance, and diplomacy. The one in my hand is ordinary internal affairs, which is reported by the wizard apprentice."
The lady was in charge of explaining and Lu Feng listened attentively.
After explaining the types of affairs, Ms. Natasha personally reviewed the documents and explained to Lu Feng the procedures for dealing with various affairs.
Both Lu Feng and Ms. Natasha are official wizards with strong mental powers and learning abilities far beyond ordinary people.
With one teaching and one learning, Lu Feng made rapid progress.
More than ten days later, Lu Feng had already learned most of the methods of handling tower affairs from Ms. Natasha, and could already help Ms. Natasha share 30% to 40% of the complicated documents.
"Rester, I feel a lot more relaxed with your help. If I had known earlier, I should have asked Tia to bring you back from the secondary continent before she left, so that you can help me manage the Verdant Tower! Anyway, you don't like taking risks, so it's just right for you to stay in the Verdant Tower and work and practice peacefully!"
Ms. Natasha, feeling much more relaxed, sat at her desk, enjoying her afternoon tea leisurely, and sighed with a smile.
Lu Feng, who was sitting opposite her, listened to the lady's sigh and didn't dare to say much.
These days, he has been adapting to the new job and helping Ms. Natasha deal with the affairs of the Green Tower. It sounds easy, but Lu Feng is a beginner and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. Sharing 30% to 40% of the lady's work has already made Lu Feng busy and a little overwhelmed.
From this we can imagine how busy Ms. Natasha was when Lu Feng was not around to help her. The Green Tower is not a small force, and the amount of affairs that Ms. Natasha needed to handle was terrifying.
As time passed, Lu Feng's work ability gradually improved through trial and error. With his strong mental strength, he was able to share more and more affairs with Ms. Natasha, almost reaching 50% of the affairs of the Green Tower.
The work that was originally done by one person is now divided into two people, and Ms. Natasha feels much more relaxed.
Ms. Natasha and Lu Feng also work well together. Basically, after finishing the affairs of the Green Tower every day, they still have a lot of free time.
Time flies, and it’s the end of the month in the blink of an eye.
The first month since Lu Feng officially returned to the Green Tower has officially ended.
The last day of the month, afternoon.
After finishing today's work ahead of time, Lu Feng sat in the office lobby, enjoying a moment of leisure.
While enjoying delicious afternoon tea, I read the newspaper from the Botanical Garden and looked at the major events that happened in the wizarding world during this period of time.
This is a newspaper subscription service provided by the Green Tower. A fee of 10,000 magic stones is required every year, and users can enjoy the service of receiving important event push notifications from the [Botanical Garden].
Lu Feng has a formal job at Cang Cui Tower, so he can get the newspaper service for free without paying any subscription fees.
Reading newspapers is a good way for Lu Feng to kill his free time.
You can understand what is happening in the world without leaving your home.
Before Lu Feng finished reading the newspaper, Natasha threw a space pocket on him and said with a smile:
"Rester, here! This is your salary for this month. The herb planting industry in the Verdant Tower has a great harvest this month, and our share has increased a lot. Please tap the magic stone lightly, confirm it, and sign the note!"
Lu Feng reached out and grabbed the flying space pocket, put down the newspaper, and poured his mental power into the space pocket.
At first glance, the space pocket was filled with densely packed magic stones, and the rich energy aura was about to overflow from the bag.
Lu Feng took a quick look and figured out the number of magic stones in his pocket.
A total of 22,160 pieces.
After checking that everything was correct, Lu Feng took out his salary slip and stamped his own magic mark on the slip.
"I got my first month's salary, and now I have money!"
Lu Feng sighed, saying that although the affairs of the Green Tower were busy and not as leisurely as in the Red Leaf Tower, he did earn a lot of magic stones.
Even if he used all the time he saved in the Red Leaf Tower to collect energy from heaven and earth, he would never be able to save so many magic stones.
With these magic stones, Lu Feng will make more money by cultivating the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
At 4:30 pm, after get off work,
Lu Feng left the service hall with a large amount of magic stones and rushed back to his room.
On the way back, Lu Feng also met many wizard apprentices who were doing business.
Exuding the mental power fluctuations of a first-level official wizard, Lu Feng could feel the fearful and envious gazes from the wizard apprentices.
Within a month, the name of the official wizard Lu Feng had spread throughout the entire Green Tower.
Teacher Tia took the other official wizards away. There were not many official wizards in the Verdant Tower.
Lu Feng's appearance always attracted the attention of wizard apprentices wherever he went. Moreover, Lu Feng also assisted Ms. Natasha in handling the affairs of the Verdant Tower, and directly became the immediate superior of many wizard apprentices.
Lu Feng somewhat enjoyed such gazes. Once upon a time, he was just an ordinary wizard apprentice in the Verdant Tower. He could only hide in the crowd and look up at the majesty of the official wizards. Now, he had realized his dream and was now in the limelight.
Lu Feng returned to his room.
After receiving his salary, Lu Feng did not rush to spend it or buy supplies for cultivation, but went directly into the cultivation room.
He also threw the space pocket into the Qingmu Spiritual Realm, and a lot of magic stones were scattered and piled up in a corner of the Qingmu Spiritual Realm.
The space pocket is not as stable as the Qingmu Spiritual Realm. Lu Feng is worried about keeping so many magic stones in the space pocket for even one more second.
Sitting in the training room, Lu Feng looked inward at himself.
During this busy month in the Green Tower, Lu Feng did not delay his own practice.
With the supply from the training room in the verdant tower, his Qingmu Spirit Realm absorbed a lot of energy from heaven and earth. His three spiritual veins were nourished and became more powerful.
With the help of the three spiritual veins, Lu Feng's Taibai Gengjin sword energy that he had been practicing also improved a lot.
The 108 Taibai Gengjin sword acupoints that come with the martial arts have all been opened by Lu Feng.
In his chest, the Taibai sword acupoints had been filled with the sharp sword energy he had cultivated, shining with dazzling silver light. His lungs, which were originally made of flesh and blood, were now nourished and strengthened by the Taibai Gengjin sword energy, as if they had become a mountain of swords and a forest of knives.
When Lu Feng breathed, a strong wind blew in the mountain of swords and the forest of knives, and sword energy was emitted in all directions.
Exhale and it becomes wind, exhale and it becomes sword.
With a strong exhale, three feet of sword energy spurted out of Lu Feng's mouth. With a sharp breath, it directly hit a metal dummy that Lu Feng was holding up for training, leaving sword marks deep enough to see the bones.
With a glance, Lu Feng saw the power of Taibai Gengjin's sword energy and said with satisfaction:
"Gold is the master of killing. The Taibai Gengjin sword energy is indeed a technique that specializes in killing and is born only for attacking. I have only practiced to this point and have not yet started the spiritual realm stage of cultivation. The attack power has already surpassed the combination spell [Seed of Life] that I was proud of when I was a third-level apprentice. If I practice this technique into a spiritual vein, the power of the sword energy will probably surpass many of the spells in my hands and become the most powerful protective spell!"
Lu Feng estimated and compared the power of the spells in his own hands, he felt that the Taibai Gengjin sword energy had unlimited potential in the future.
The more useful spells in his hands now are the three killing moves that come with the Fire Dragon Divine Weapon Curse, and the protective aura that comes with the Wu Earth Mountain Seal refined by the Wu Earth Mountain Treasure Seal Technique.
Fire Dragon Armor! Fire Dragon Flame Cannon! Fire Dragon Demon Slaying Spear!
Once the Golden Spirit Vein is cultivated, I'm afraid only the Fire Dragon Demon-Slaying Spear can compare with Taibai Gengjin Sword Qi.
As for the first-level witchcraft he learned, Lu Feng could only smile.
To be honest, since he was promoted to a first-level official wizard, except for a meditation method that brought the ancient tree body solidified on the soul seed, Lu Feng has not learned any first-level witchcraft.
"This is also a problem. I want to be a first-class wizard in the future and hang out in the Green Tower. How can I face people in the future if I don't know any witchcraft?"
Thinking of this, Lu Feng's heart moved.
"I got my salary today. Tomorrow I will go to Ms. Natasha to buy some first-level witchcraft. I will also arrange for the wizard apprentices in the tower to help me purchase some metals."
I practiced faster this month and consumed too much metal. I didn’t even have enough time to replenish the metal ingots from the Trandi secondary continent.
After all, the Trandi sub-continent is a sub-continent, and the civilization's technology and productivity are still far behind. Mining and metallurgy also require a process.
In a month, Lu Feng's strength improved rapidly, so it was normal that the metal ingots in the Trandi secondary continent could not keep up with his consumption rate.
Lu Feng couldn't just ask the Red Leaf Tower to plunder metals from the common people for his cultivation. That would certainly yield a lot of metal, but that would be a foolish move that would dig into his own pocket. How could Lu Feng possibly do that?
Since the Trandi sub-continent could not provide enough supplies, Lu Feng had to find another way and planned to go through the Green Tower.
The Green Tower is a powerful force, consuming a lot of metal on a daily basis, and it also has its own way of purchasing metal ingots.
While Lu Feng was working this month, he also learned more about the power of the Green Tower.
The next day was another sunny day.
Lu Feng arrived at the service hall early, waiting for Ms. Natasha to appear.
At 9:30 in the morning, Ms. Natasha arrived late.
"Lester, you came early today! How is it? How much business have you handled?"
Ever since Lu Feng started working for her, Ms. Natasha has become a lot lazier and is often late.
"Ma'am, you have to keep an eye on the time. It will be lunchtime soon!"
When Lu Feng heard Ms. Natasha's voice, he poked his head out from the pile of documents and retorted angrily.
"Haha, I accidentally took a little longer than usual when doing the experiment last night, Rest, please bear with me! I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Ms. Natasha laughed, and quickly sat down, took over half of the work from Lu Feng, and began to review it quickly.
It was the first day of a new month and there wasn't much to do. Before dinner time, Lu Feng and Ms. Natasha finished their work and started to rest early.
"Ma'am, I plan to purchase a batch of metal ingots through the Green Tower. The quantity is quite large, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
After finishing his work, Lu Feng handed the purchase application he had written last night to Ms. Natasha.
"How much is it?"
Ms. Natasha took Lu Feng's application documents, took a look at them, and then looked at Lu Feng with some surprise:
"This quantity is indeed a bit large. The copper and iron you purchased are already enough to meet the consumption of the Green Tower for ten years! Why? I haven't heard that you have mastered a side business in alchemy. Ordinary copper and iron alone are useless for making alchemical puppets."
Lu Feng had anticipated Ms. Natasha's surprise.
There are no formal wizards proficient in alchemy in the Verdant Tower. The self-taught wizard apprentices and the knights in the tower do not consume ordinary metals such as copper and iron.
Mithril, refined gold, and magic iron are the main metal purchases of the Green Tower.
Copper and iron, which are ordinary materials, are mostly used by ordinary people living under the lush green towers, and not much is consumed in a year.
Lu Feng's order was directly enough to supply the Green Tower for ten years. Although Lu Feng was a first-class wizard, he had no place to use these ordinary copper and iron.
"Ahem, Ms. Natasha, I ordered these copper and iron mainly for the cultivation of another profession that I am practicing. Compared with the special properties of mithril and refined gold, the price of these copper and iron is relatively cheap."
Lu Feng explained.
The Taibai Gengjin sword energy he practiced was not very picky about the type of metal. The gold energy collected from metal ingots needed to be mixed with essence, energy and spirit and refined again.
Lu Feng also bought some mithril and refined gold, and conducted comparative experiments with copper and iron.
Copper and iron, which are available in large quantities and at low prices, completely surpass mithril and refined gold in terms of cost-effectiveness.
This is also the reason why Lu Feng chose it.
"Is that so? Then I won't ask any more questions! There will be no problem with purchasing!"
Regarding Lu Feng's dual profession, although Ms. Natasha was a little curious about what kind of practice required so much copper and iron, she was not going to ask more.
Ms. Natasha signed Lu Feng's application directly and proceeded to the next step.
