58: Acceptance

After hearing all his mentor had to say Wade went to a deep contemplation because this decision could change many of his plans, but the pros of making this decision we're too good to be left.

Considering that his mentor had done this mission in his own youth and was recommending it was obviously his goodwill so declining it would look bad as well, thinking so he replied immediately.

"Mentor, for you to give me such an opportunity shows your trust in me, so how can I deny such a mission," Wade said.

"Are you perfectly clear, even though I gave you a good picture of the subterranean world it will be very dangerous down there and because of patrol and cleaning missions quite a lot of your time will be wasted" Fred said.

While having the same smile on his face.

"Yes! Master! In the Sage path, nothing can be gained without paying it with equivalent value.

Now whether that equivalent value turns out to be few magic crystals, hundreds of magic crystals or even my life, I will still walk the path with only looking forward to gaining more knowledge and life" this was his life goal since the start and he would never change it.

Looking at his apprentices firm will Fred nodded with acknowledgement and said, "Very Good!! Then I will sent the letter today itself and I will get the answer in a week or two.

So, during this time make all the preparations that you can make because down there many things are different from here.

There it is the rule of the jungle, only the strong survive. I don't doubt your survival capabilities, but it is still better to be prepared. Also, there the prices of things are very high.

Let me give you an example, the basic level potion of healing in the academy is sold for 40 magic crystals while the material set required for making it is cost at 4 to 5 magic crystals.

In the subterranean city, the same potion can be sold for around 70 to 80 magic crystals while the ingredients will only cost around 2 to 3 magic crystals. So, you are getting my point right." Fred said with a cunning smile.

"Of course, Mentor!!" Wade replied with the same kind of smile.

Those two looked at each other like two old foxes who had just seen a very delicious prey.

Wade then pocketed the formulas for the Enrich Potion and Medusa serum and bowed to Fred, bidding farewell before leaving the room.

"500 Magic Crystals! That was all the income I've earned from selling potions this year! The ingredients needed for these two potions are also very precious.

I can only wait for the mentor's letter to be answered then leave the academy to sell my accumulated potions before I can exchange them for experiment resources and slowly accumulate points according to what mentor described. "

Wade felt a little heartache. However, his success was higher than what the others were estimated to have, and apart from selling potions in the academy, he had still managed to amass many other potions.

Now, hearing what his mentor said if he were to sell them in the subterranean city, he would definitely earn a huge amount of Magic Crystals!

Ever since he obtained the two potion formulas, Wade's mind was filled with ideas on how to earn more Magic Crystals and brew potions and when Fred gave him the opportunity he obviously took it.

As the place where all high-grade ingredients come from, subterranean world. There will always be high demand for potion in places like this, so he didn't have to much worry about lacking magical crystals in the future.

After resting for a while he had a thought he connected to the academic crystal ball he was given and connected to Mike.

"Mike, your family has some connections in the subterranean city if I recall correctly, do you know if there are any markets or places for people to trade their goods?" Wade asked.

"Of course! However, the situation there is extremely complicated. There are many wandering Sages and fugitives, so it is very chaotic and dangerous!"

"I know, but I don't have to go there personally. For instance, I could always hire someone to do it for me." Wade began to spout nonsense.

"In the academy's Mission Area, apprentices can also give out missions as long as they have enough Magic Crystals and are able to make a deposit."

"That's true! In that case, I will send a copy of the information to your room later!" Mike nodded after giving it some thought.

"I will be really grateful for that! I'll buy you a meal in the second level dining hall next time!" Wade was elated.

"Alright!" Mike readily agreed.

After getting his confirmation Wade thanked him once more and cut the signal.

He didn't want to tell Mike about hai plan for two reasons mainly. First, he was a blabbermouth and no information would be kept safe once he knows about it and second, Fred was going to send the letter today and he didn't know how many days later he would get the results.

Also whether the results would be positive or not was not clear. So, he didn't want the news to spread in his known circle as if by some chance his request was denied he didn't want to become a laughing stock.

As time passed, Wade continued to analyse the two formulas with Abby's help. He also started to search for Rank 0 spells that could conceal his aura or change his appearance.

Mike had sent the information regarding the subterranean city long ago. However, Wade did not get the reply yet out so he was still waiting.

In the third level cafeteria that handed out free food, Wade was eating a meal with Sam. Today's meal consisted of white bread with meat and other things stuffed in it with a very delicious juice cocktail.
