Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 9 Selection

  After taking a bath, there is still some time before evening.

  Colin packed up the crystals he had made in the last few days and was going to go out to the market to sell it now.

   On the fifth day, the progress of making crystals of light on gold paper has been pushed to the limit, and the success rate has reached 100%.

   He can now make about 45 bright crystals a day at most, and it is about 1 and a half when replaced with magic stones. Aside from the cost of crystals, the profit is 0.75 magic stones.

   In other words, he can earn 0.75 magic stones every day.

   It has been 4 days since he went to the market last time, and he also stocked 160 bright crystals in his hand, worth 6 magic stones.

   After going to the market for a while, he plans to leave some magic stones to supplement the crystal raw materials, and absorb the rest as the limit breaking point, to see if the meditation method can successfully break through the limit.

  …

   "You are here again." The owner of the shop selling witchcraft crystal greeted with a smile.

   "Well, there are one hundred and sixty in total. You can count them." Colin dumped the bright crystals in the cloth bag on the tray with cotton cloth in front of the boss.

   It took him all morning to set up a stall to sell bright crystals for the first time and paid the rent of the stall to the market.

   He chose to sell it directly to a shop specializing in witchcraft crystals.

   The price difference between the two is not big, and it can save a lot of time.

   "Okay, I trust your credibility." Although the boss said so, he kept counting in his hand.

   "A total of 6 magic stones, here are you." Two minutes later, the boss finished counting and took out 6 magic stones and handed them to Colin with a smile.

   "You walk slowly, welcome to come again next time."

  Colin nodded and took the magic stone and put it in his pocket. Although his face was expressionless, his heart was a little excited.

   As he walked quickly towards the wizard, he quietly put his right hand into the pocket containing the magic stone.

   With a thought, pale golden particles converged. Focus on the breakpoint column.

  …1…2…3…

The    black characters slowly beat, and after a while it reached 5, and there were still two magic stones left in the pocket.

   But the ↑ behind the circle meditation method has been quietly enveloped in a circle of light blue outline light!

   Colin was overjoyed, he almost wanted to return to the stone house and start breaking through!

  ‘But not yet. ’ Holding back his excitement, he hurried to the market to buy crystal raw materials.

   looked around, but didn't find the crystal booth that was cheaper in the past... Maybe it's closed.

   So he randomly chose a nearby stall, and he didn't have the patience to continue spending time negotiating prices with the stall owner.

   directly used a magic stone and some gold coins left over from the previous change to make up the whole, in exchange for 80 crystals, he hurriedly returned to the wizard.

   Walked out of the market, walked through the store, and entered the area monitored by the wizard led by the wizard formation.

  This is still a few hundred meters away from the wooden fence on the edge of the wizard's collar.

   There is a flat and wide mountain road in the middle. Because it is going up the mountain, there are steps made of stone slabs at the steep part.

   If not for the assistance of witchcraft, this kind of mountain road and steps, delivering daily necessities every month would also be a headache.

   Walking on the compacted mountain road, Colin looked a little hesitant, but in the next second, he put his hand back into his pocket and absorbed the last remaining magic stone into the breaking point.

   The magic stone was kept in order to have the principal to buy crystals.

   But now, you can only make up to 40 crystals per day. Unless you can exceed the limit, even if you buy more, you will only save yourself a few trips to the market.

   So it is better to convert it into your own power as soon as possible, your own power is everything.

   Soon, the last magic stone turned into gravel, and the character slowly changed to 6 after breaking the limit.

  There are deep jungles on both sides of the mountain road, and you can occasionally see some wild things on the road.

  The sun was sinking in the west, and the sunlight became weak and weak, and even some could not penetrate the dense leaves.

From the woods on both sides of   , strange sounds gradually began to sound.

   Colin tightened his clothes. The sea breeze in the evening was strong, and the screams from the dense forest made him a little dizzy, and the pace under his feet could not help but speed up a little bit.

  Although the chirping of insects and birds and some weird roars sounded from time to time.

   But he felt that the world was inexplicably silent.

  On the long mountain road, it seems that there is only the sound of his own footsteps.

   After a while, he suddenly froze, and his footsteps gradually stopped.

   At the corner in front of the mountain road, a blond figure came out, followed by two others.

   "Colin, what a coincidence." The blond figure greeted with surprise.

   "Charlie, Haywood, and Owen, are you still going out so late?" Colin responded with a 'smile', while continuing to walk forward.

   "Wait a minute, Colin." Charlie smiled and raised his hand to stop him, "I just happened to be looking for you."

   "Looking for me...what's the matter?" Colin stopped, his heart sank, but he asked with just the right amount of doubts on his face.

   "That's it," Charlie took the initiative to walk up to Colin and pat him on the shoulder, then shouted back, "Jeff, come here."

   "Okay, boss." At the corner in front of him, another figure walked out, it was Jeff with brown hair.

   He was smiling, and there were no scars on his darkened face.

  Colin was startled, but quickly regained his calm look.

   Aware of Colin's shock, Charlie smiled slightly, which was exactly the effect he wanted to bring about by conquering Jeff in the first place.

   "When the get out of class was over, Jeff was the first to leave early, but later joined the mutual aid club."

  Charlie took the initiative to explain, and then changed his voice:

   "Colin, can I hold you for a while?"

   "I remember that you left early as well, so this time I'm looking for you, just to introduce you to the mutual aid club... Can you think of it?"

After   , Charlie looked at Colin with an expectant smile.

   Colin was expressionless and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

   No wonder he chose to block him in this place.

   Combined with the scene in the alley he saw last time, he already understood everything.

   Obviously, whether he listens to Charlie's next words or not, he has only one choice, and that is to join the mutual aid society.

  Otherwise, what awaits him should be the same as Jeff last time.

   "...Tell me." Colin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
