Haven’t I given you enough styles already?” Zhao Guang widened his eyes. The various artistic styles he had provided Ocoro did not include anything painted on the body. Ocoro had done this to himself. Was he expected to find even more styles, wondering if Ocoro would continue to modify himself? “Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case. It just feels like there’s no fun in only painting on paper.” “If that doesn’t work, just make a fake one with a statue then.” “Good idea, you really are a true artist. I’ll have someone make a statue to my exact proportions and then draw on it. That damn waste, he’d never see this coming.” Oh no, had he just opened the doors to a new world for him? If there were statues of Ocoro everywhere in the future, it would definitely send shivers down anyone’s spine. But never mind; that day would probably never come, at least Yars would never allow Ocoro to do such a thing. “Alright, enough of that. I came today to add a research order.” “I’ve already been collecting the spells and knowledge you requested. However, some things are not so readily available. Without special circumstances, even giving them some magic crystal stones won’t buy that knowledge easily.” “It’s not about that, it’s about the five pigs.” “Five pigs, what’s the situation?” Ocoro hadn’t expected it to be related to five pigs. Zhao Guang felt somewhat helpless and then described, “Back home, we have a special anti-magic zone where there are no magic elements. The five pigs were bred there as well.” “So, we later discovered that these five pigs, having spent a long time in the anti-magic zone, actually began to regress.” “Then just get them out and breed them in a normal area.” Environments with magic elements are everywhere, so why insist on keeping them in an anti-magic zone, Ocoro thought, looking at Zhao Guang as if he were a fool. Zhao Guang had no other explanation and had to continue making one up. “It’s like this, areas with magic elements have many rules. According to their regulations, breeding five pigs in those places is not allowed, so they have to be reared in the anti-magic zone.” “Rules, those mages are really annoying. Then just stop raising them if necessary, just come over here for meat when needed.” This thing isn’t a big deal for them, nor is it very expensive. Even transportation isn’t a problem since the five pigs can run on their own. If a few people on both sides make a move, there shouldn’t be any issues. As for regression, they don’t use the five pigs for breeding, just for meat, so what’s there to fear. “That really won’t work, the industry chain has already been established, so breeding is a must.” “Tell me, what are you thinking?” Ocoro was somewhat puzzled about what Zhao Guang wanted to do. Zhao Guang directly stated his request, “It’s like this, I want to invite some mages to study whether this issue can be resolved. If not, whether a special magic environment can be created.” “You wanted research on anti-magic before, and now you want to create an element environment within an anti-magic area; you really are high-maintenance.” Before Ocoro could finish his complaint, Zhao Guang continued, “Another thing, that magic element can’t be too concentrated. It must not allow the five pigs’ lifebound magic to recover.” “Why, with that level of magical power, it couldn’t even kill an ordinary person.” Sure, it might not kill, but that ordinary person is also someone from this world. If it were someone from Earth, even if not lethal, it would likely cause considerable injury. Injuries to people on Earth are definitely not a minor matter. Moreover, if it caused continuous injuries to many people, he wouldn’t be able to explain it away either. “Well, usually some ordinary people are in that anti-magic zone. Additionally, sometimes there are even more fragile animals inside, so it’s better if...” Zhao Guang was struggling to continue his fabricated tale. “Really, raising pigs and making it this troublesome for what?” Seriously, they are just five pigs. In the past, they just chose an area for free-range breeding. As long as they cleared a batch every so often, preventing the five pigs from overpopulating, there really was no need for all this hassle. Or, if it was really that troublesome to breed the five pigs, would they still choose to do so? “Anyway, that’s my request, and I will provide whatever amount of magic crystal stones they need.” “I’ll ask about it, but shouldn’t be a big problem. This kind of research should be easily manageable for many powerful mages. As long as the payoff in magic crystal stones is substantial, they should be willing to help.” “Ten thousand, ten thousand magic crystal stones, that’s my offer.” “That much? Even Great Mages would probably take action for that amount.” Zhao Guang breathed a sigh of relief, seeing there seemed to be no problems. Great rewards bring forth brave deeds; the same goes for mages. As long as the compensation is sufficient, they would be willing to help with the research. “Alright, that was the issue I came for this time.” “Hold on, you should learn Basic Rune Studies as soon as possible. I think the solutions they provide will likely require this knowledge. If possible, you might also study some basic Alchemy.” “How do you know? Did you also practice magic?” Ocoro waved his hand, “How could that be, I don’t have the talent for a mage. However, I have many mage friends, so I am quite knowledgeable about these things.” It must be said, if Ocoro weren’t so nonchalant, he would still be quite serious. At least in many respects, this guy is really reliable, especially when it comes to magic, knowing more than Bjails. Key is, this guy seems to have friends in just about anything. Now that this matter was resolved, Zhao Guang could let go of a burden. “Here, this is the microscope I brought; show it to the mages.” Zhao Guang took out the microscope he had bought before, but mass-producing this device wasn’t so simple; getting the equipment and workers seemed quite challenging. Originally, he thought that manufacturing a mere microscope was nothing big. Later, he realized he was naive. Lenses had to do with optics, and companies associated with optics were not so simple. If it weren’t for the backward technology, they wouldn’t even consider acquiring such equipment. After all, the mages probably didn’t need many of them; there was no need to take over the production line. “No way, there really is such an assistive tool. Let me try it out.” Ocoro wasn’t despondent anymore, immediately jumping up, taking the microscope, and starting the test according to Zhao Guang’s instructions.
