Water Mage in the Flame Realm

Chapter 190: The Professional


Four boxes.

Two containing products, two are empty.

When he took out the boxes, Andrew was still unable to confirm: whether the golden auditor in front of him was truly fair and just? Uncertain if he was a chess piece used by the president's wife to target him.

But now, he couldn't worry about such things.

"Let's not overthink this."

Andrew thought to himself, "According to the original plan, do what needs doing, do what's supposed to be done, and that'll be enough.

Just do it in a... more extreme way!"

Whether it was due to a subtle change in mindset, Andrew felt the atmosphere in the great hall quietly change.

Previously, because of the president's wife's presence, Andrew felt an unsettling suppression under an apparently peaceful surface.

Now it had shifted to a feeling like facing a significant exam or assessment in life, such as middle school exams, college entrance exams, or job interviews.

The president's wife's dead heart and madness stemmed from the accident years ago that led to the death of the commerce association's eldest lady.

The collaboration channel originated from the "Fire Creation Plan," which was an ancient plan established at the founding of the Warm Fire Commerce Association.

Very few people know that this Flame Realm didn't have a Magic Guild first, followed by the opposing Warm Fire Commerce Association; that's not how it was.

On the contrary, the Warm Fire Commerce Association was established first, and only then did the Magic Guild that suppresses the entire Flame Realm until today come into existence! The initial reason for founding the Warm Fire Commerce Association was not to oppose the Magic Guild, but to address the increasingly dry abnormal changes in the Flame Realm. The Magic Guild, instead, seems more like a product of these unusual changes, not the root cause...

"Oh?"

Seeing Andrew unexpectedly took out four boxes at once, the president's wife's eyebrow slightly raised, yet her gaze remained dead.

Gold, maintaining his usual calmness, or rather a professional attitude, quickly scanned them, with a hint of fire flickering in his eyes, then he didn't rush to touch the boxes but instead lifted his eyes to look at Andrew and asked, "What is the meaning of the two empty boxes?"

"Oh, these two empty boxes represent two products I have yet to create."

Andrew smiled and said, "You can first look at the first two products; while you're looking, I'll also create the last two."

This was Andrew's plan and the "more extreme way" he intended to carry out next.

From a Magic Apprentice to a traditional Water Mage, and now to a Tier Three Water Magic Lord, Andrew felt that his strongest skill was still using Water Magic to produce products, rather than combat (even though a unique fighting style had begun to form in recent battles).

Enchanting Finger, after all, was more focused on 'farming'.

Using it for combat is certainly great, as proven by instantly subduing Sabye not long ago and surviving the female assassin's attack three days ago.

But ultimately, it couldn't surpass the magical effect of "Enchanting Finger" in product creation.

In a tier fight, Andrew's true biggest advantage now is Multiplicative Magic Power rather than Enchanting Finger.

Surviving three days ago was the result of a series of comprehensive factors, notably thanks to sister An Ya far away in Wildfire Territory, who activated the power of the "Fire God Mecha" at a crucial moment, actually providing Andrew with great support power.

Overall, with Enchanting Finger, Andrew was very confident: he could definitely create two more intended products within a short time.

Adding to the two crafted in Shield of Flowing Fire, there would be four in total!

This was the more extreme way.

After all, he wasn't just trying to pass the assessment now but also facing the pressure from the president's wife behind Gold.

Two products weren't enough; more were needed!

"You create two new products while I'm auditing?"

Gold was clearly taken aback.

Perhaps in his career, he has never encountered someone like Andrew at the cooperation sites in Warm Fire City.

Soon, Gold shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can only accept products already created. As for products not yet made, please make them first and then talk. Our 'cooperation channel', this... doesn't accept products made during the assessment process."

After formally entering the audit process, Gold obviously, or naturally, began to lead the rhythm of the scene. As he said, he was professional.

In his view, auditing wasn't one-sided; it required Andrew's cooperation.

During the audit, he might ask many detailed questions, all needing Andrew's immediate responses.

At this point, Andrew was over there creating two other products? How was that possible!

Thus, he calmly yet firmly rejected Andrew's proposal of creating while auditing.

Pausing, Gold added, "As for the two products you haven't created yet, you may explain their concepts to me first. Of course, after you cooperate with me for the detailed audit of the first two products."

"Ah, is that so?" Although Andrew was rejected, he wasn't anxious. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, anyway, the two products temporarily empty are essentially the same type as the first one I've already made. I'll explain to you in detail later."

Having said this, Andrew took a breath, and with a solemn expression, he introduced: "As you can see, these are the four products I created, which are:

Magic Facial Mask, Lip Balm, Eye Drops, and... Snickers."

While speaking, he pointed one by one to the four boxes in front of him.

Among them, Magic Facial Mask was naturally prepared three days ago, intending to let Leia see it, or even use it, but then suddenly encountered the attack from the female assassin.

Lip balm and eye drops weren't produced, corresponding to those two empty boxes.

Just as Andrew said earlier, fundamentally, whether it's facial masks or lip balm and eye drops, they all target the dryness issue of this Flame Realm.

On the way to Warm Fire City, when doing market research, people complained not only about dry skin but also about cracked lips and dry eyes! Andrew noted all these down.

As for Snickers...

This, ahem, Andrew ultimately did not choose previously considered names like "Water Soul Pill," "Soldier Pill," or even "Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill," opting instead for "Snickers," a name that wouldn't raise any suspicion in this Flame Realm (unless someone was also a traveler like him).

Andrew admitted he might have gone a bit overboard…

But upon thinking it over, Snickers is a good name indeed! In the world before travel, Snickers targeted "hungry souls," and now this magic miraculous pill he makes targets the common issue of poor physical ability among the people of the Flame Realm? Quite similar indeed!

Of course, this magic pill can significantly improve the high mortality rate among the wounded due to poor basic physical ability, a function the original Snickers did not possess.

Four product names, spoken by Andrew in this spacious hall, did not echo and hardly stirred any waves.

But soon, a "storm"—a storm involving these four products and more, sweeping almost the entire Flame Realm and even including many territories under the jurisdiction of the Magic Guild—is, at this moment, blown out from Andrew's mouth!

Jin listened intently.

Hearing about the facial mask, he felt slightly confused, clearly, there was no such thing in the Flame Realm, nor did the term "facial mask" exist.

Upon hearing lip balm and eye drops, his eyes flickered with thought.

After all, terms like "lip balm" and "eye drops" easily evoke a straightforward association with product effectiveness.

Remembering Andrew's earlier mention of "two products yet to be made similar to the first one," Jin quickly made swift connections and reasoning in his mind, which seemed to lead to some immature guesses about the function of that "milky white face-like strange object" in the box.

Upon hearing "Snickers," he was completely baffled.

He couldn't fathom what meaning this name held.

"Hehe, I know you must have many questions, come, I'll explain them to you slowly."

Andrew temporarily forgot about any matters related to the president's wife or incorporation and was completely immersed in product explanation.

Not only did he comprehensively introduce each product's concept and effectiveness.

He also shared the market demand research conducted from Wildfire Territory to Warm Fire City and how the four products precisely meet people's needs, allowing them to immediately experience practical benefits upon usage—

He explained all of it.

While explaining, Andrew was also observing Jin's reactions. Naturally, he held a confidence—a confidence in his "Enchanting Finger" and even more so in the four types of products that had been validated in the world before crossing—but he inevitably felt anxious.

Jin looked serious, but apart from seriousness, nothing was discernible at the moment.

However, the president's wife behind Jin seemed to subtly show a tiny hint of curiosity after hearing Andrew's detailed introduction of the "Magic Facial Mask."

Andrew's attention was entirely focused on Jin at the moment and did not notice the wife's reaction.

If Andrew captured that fleeting sense of curiosity, he would undoubtedly make a judgment: Barbara's mother, her heart was not entirely dead! With emotion, curiosity signifies she is still human and should have a rational part.

"—That's about it. For specific effectiveness, please try it personally; otherwise, no matter how much I say, it wouldn't be of much use."

Andrew took a breath, feeling slightly anxious about his somewhat verbose speech lacking conciseness.

As a Water Magic Lord, he actually spoke until his mouth went dry!

Fortunately, he had said most of what needed to be said.

Andrew closed his mouth, stopping further speech.

Jin lowered his head, first looking at the magic facial mask in the first box.

He did not use any magical methods for the examination, although he could easily do so.

But the key to the review lay in fully testing as an audience for the products.

Earlier, when seeing the four boxes, Jin's eyes flashed with fire intention, mainly looking to confirm the safety of the products and boxes, ensuring no poisoning or similar issues (which he had encountered before), rather than testing the products.

Now Jin cautiously extended his large hand, using sturdy fingers to pinch the moist facial mask.

"So this 'Magic Facial Mask' targets—"

He pinched the mask, then looked at Andrew.

"—mainly ordinary people, professionals can also use it."

Andrew said.

Jin nodded, then quietly operated his power, deliberately suppressing the professional power on the left half of his body while not suppressing the right half.

This way, his left face was that of an ordinary person.

His right face was that of a professional.

Perfectly matching Andrew's description of the product audience!

Having prepared in such a manner, Jin then tilted his head and, following Andrew's earlier explanation on usage, applied the Magic Facial Mask to his large face.
