Before officially returning to his student status, Pound seized the time to do two things.

First, Pound took the time to visit the potion masters who cooperated with him after the potion contest.

It is needless to mention Mrs. Mayfair. Pound has already visited Mrs. Mayfair's potion workshop several times in order to promote the "Midnight Gem".The main reason why Mrs. Mayfield is willing to help is that the sales of the "Amethyst Hibiscus Cream" series she cooperated with Pound are really good; it is even better than the perfume business she has accumulated for more than ten years. However, the pricing attracted the ladies to rush to buy, which made Mrs. Mayfair convinced of Pound's strategy, and collected nearly ten thousand gold coins per month. Pound asked Mrs. Mayfair to take care of it. generously obliged.

As for another group of potion masters who cooperated with Pound; Peika and Fuerli master and apprentice, Pound and Funk also went to the city of Lagong where they were, concerned about the status of their partners, and also got Account details for the first four months.

Although their surplus figures are not as impressive as Mrs. Mayfield's, they have accumulated surplus results since the second month, which shows that Fuerli, the master and apprentice, is also working very hard.With an input cost of 1 gold coins per month, the return rate of making a net profit of more than [-] gold coins in a single month in the fourth month is considered very acceptable compared to Pound's previous interest rate level.

However, when Fuerli handed over the account books, he was full of apology, and kept explaining that their strategy was to make small profits but sell more, so the results in the first few months were really not very good.Pound couldn't help but mutter in his heart, it turned out that a score of [-]% gross profit was considered low in the potion world (this means that every potionist is a vampire).

Because of this, Pound's weird expression made Fuerli even more nervous, and quickly stated that they have now found a way, and they are expected to sell the wound medicine to the Imperial Army.If successful, this will increase the sales of wound medicine dozens of times.When Pang De heard it, he was quite surprised, and had to ask what kind of connection it was?If it's evil, this kind of business; even Furley's partner has to reconsider.

Fortunately, Fuerli only mentioned that he has an uncle who was originally a therapist stationed in the army and was very familiar with the procurement of medicines. Now someone has made a connection, and if he has funds, he can support mass production.They are confident that with the quality and price positioning of the wound medicine, they will definitely be able to secure this business.And if there is such a way, why not develop it earlier, so that it will come in handy later?It seems that the decision to allow Fulley to clearly share the share was still wrong, otherwise, this young man probably would not have worked so hard to manage it so hard.

This is also human nature, so Pang De patted Fuerli on the shoulder and promised that if he really received the order, he would fully support the funding gap.Even, Pound is willing to share his own share of the profits obtained from the army's order, and give Fulley some more as a business reward.The generous promise of rewards for every achievement made Fuerli's eyes sparkle even brighter.Seeing that Pound had to say something more, the quality of the product must also be maintained. From time to time, he would let Ge Ya come over to conduct random inspections on the finished wound medicine.

Fuerli nodded repeatedly, and at the same time explained in detail the improvements he and his teacher Peika had made to the wound medicine recently.And this is actually what Pound wants to hear more.Potion masters who are willing to research and improve are the business partners that Pound wants to continue to cooperate with.

And after all the calculations, the above investment in potions allowed Pound to earn at least [-] gold coins a month.Compared with the land rent and income that some middle-class nobles in the empire can collect every month, it is much more.If you add the explosive income after the launch of the follow-up "Midnight Gem", to be honest, Funk has helped everyone choose the most high-end food and clothing in the store. Compared with their income level, it is actually Very shabby.

But in any case, the gold coins in the ring are no longer just in and out, and Pound is quite satisfied.

And for a more stable college life in the future, Pound's second thing is to visit Lance.

***

It should be said that since Lance received Bergland's last report about Pound's departure to the north, he had been secretly counting the day Pound's arrival at Fan Desi.Only two weeks, three weeks, or even two or three months have passed, but Lance has not received any follow-up news for a long time.

A while ago, Lance couldn't help but let the sub-offices in each city be in charge, pay attention to notifying the distinguished guests who entered the venue with the "Golden Card", so that no one would forget that this should be a routine return.However, Pound seems to have never set foot in Potts Auction after the fall of the library.

Of course, Lance can send a mission to find people. With Potts' strongholds in various places and the distinctive appearance of Pound and Funk, some information about entering and leaving the city should be easily obtained.

It's just that Lance knows that once he does this, the people around him, no matter the enemy or the friend, will probably have some speculations.Lance was not very willing to attract this kind of attention, which would make Pound too special, even though he was the talent he made up his mind to win over.But at this moment when people are still "wandering outside", premature exposure will only lead to variables.

In addition, Lance is busy with more important things at hand, and if he can't handle it well, the above are all empty talk.

Thinking of this, Lance had to pull back Piaoyuan's thoughts, and make a final careful confirmation of the invitation list at hand.

Because at the beginning of next month, it will be the current head of the Potts family, Kono Potts; it will also be the 68th birthday of Grandpa Lance.

On this day, the Potts family will hold a grand dinner as usual, and some important customers and friends from the political and business circles will receive formal invitations from the Potts family.What's even more different this year is that Kono spoke three months ago, saying that he agreed to let the latest generation of the Potts family; that is, the juniors of Lance's generation, have full authority to decide the list of banquet guests belonging to their generation.

This announcement was immediately recognized by the Potts family as an examination; it was used to examine the personal connections of the younger generation after gradually getting in touch with the family business in recent years.But this is not a sea battle where the more people you invite, the better, because the guest list of the fathers has already been listed. If the status and proportion of the guests of the younger generation are out of proportion to the distinguished guests of the fathers, it will be extreme. Faux pas and inappropriate.Therefore, screening guests has become a very important knowledge. Even Lance has been troubled by this matter for more than two months.

This afternoon, when Lance was frowning deeply in the study, there was a stiff knock on the door.The servant who was said to have entered the room after Lance answered, bowed and asked, "Master Lance, there is His Excellency Hess in the living room, who came to visit with a card signed by the master. Would you like to receive the guest?"

"Card... Your Excellency Hess?" Lance raised his head immediately, and then stood up, "But Your Excellency Pound Hess?"

"Yes," the person who communicated was taken aback by this reaction, then bowed and nodded.

"Of course, invite people in!"

A more definite joy bloomed on Lance's face, he dropped the scroll in his hand, and almost walked side by side with the passer-by to the living room.

***

When Lance stepped into the living room, Pound didn't sit obediently on the luxurious wooden soft chair in the living room, but stood by the window of the living room, with his hands behind his back, looking out the window with a relaxed expression.

Outside the window is a certain atrium of Potts’ mansion; in the whole building of Potts’ house, there are various large and small atrium gardens to balance the rigidity of the building as a whole made of stone, so the flowers, plants and trees chosen for the atrium garden are It is also a lot of trouble, trying to be unique in addition to being exquisite, but also for visiting guests to enjoy.

And Lance knew that in the atrium outside the living room, a "Kangkang tree" unique to the southwest of the empire was planted.In the autumn harvest season, bunches of hard but fiery red hard-shelled fruits, like a mutated wind chime under the autumn wind, will make a healthy sound. Apart from being bright and beautiful, they are also quite interesting.

So it's no wonder that Pound watched intently.As a result, that perfect side face seemed more relaxed than usual, even with a faint smile, which made Pound's whole atmosphere less alienated and indifferent than usual.With a relaxed demeanor, Lance couldn't help but stop by the door for a long time.If Pound hadn't felt that his eyes had turned his head first, I'm afraid Lance by the door would just keep watching quietly.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency Lance. Please forgive me for taking the liberty to visit." Pound turned around and made up the etiquette of the visit.

"Why, it's an honor for your Excellency to come to Potts," Lance quickly returned to his senses, and quickly waved his hand, "Please take a seat. The greeting is not good, we are rude," he turned and told the servants on the side to prepare the best Tea; and hot tea was served as soon as Pound arrived.

"Your Excellency Lance, you are welcome. I interrupt you suddenly without an appointment. It is really not good to delay your original reservation." Pound smiled and went straight to the point, "I came here today, mainly to say thank you to Your Excellency Lance. Stay in Kuluo At that time, it was much more convenient to be taken care of by His Excellencies Potts and Bergeron, thanks to the special care of His Excellency Lance."

Lance was greeted by Pound's smile, but he said solemnly, "Where to say, a little power is nothing compared to your generosity at the lake. I should say that I should thank you solemnly. This life-saving Well, I admit it."

"The grace of saving lives is too serious," Pound didn't think so, "Your Excellency just didn't want to leave the trapped teammates and left first. If you want to say that the one who really saved lives, it should be the teleportation scroll, not me."

Lance shook his head seriously, "No, one size fits all. I made a mistake in judgment, which is undeniable. If you hadn't made up for my mistake, things wouldn't have gotten better so easily." Here, Lance bowed solemnly and added a formal thank you.

Upon seeing this, Pang De also returned the gift in the same way, verbally making some polite refusals.He didn't expect Lance's thanks in the first place, and now whether Lance is sincere or superficial, it doesn't make any difference to Pound.The purpose of his trip was just to give Lance an extra gift in return for Lance's help in Kuluo, and he didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

So Pound still took out the scheduled "Water Drop Bell", and re-said, "But it was thanks to your invitation that we had the opportunity to meet the space crack and the "Water Drop Bell" worth ten thousand gold. Anyway , this "Water Drop Bell" please be sure to accept it, and thank you for your care in Kuluo."

And Pound's politeness made Lance happy that there was another layer of "connection" with Pound, and a faint sense of loss surged in his heart again.My thanks, but in exchange for a gift and more thanks, this means that what I just said has not really conveyed to Pound's heart.

But time sees people's hearts, doesn't it?Resisting the disappointment in his heart, Lance took it with a smile, "...Since your Excellency is so kind, I can't refuse it. As a gift from a "friend", I will keep it in front of the window sill. "

Of course, Pang De recognized the emphasized words in Lance's mouth. Even if he didn't believe it, he would not reject it stupidly, so he echoed and said with a smile, "That's great. Don't worry, if this flower can't support it, it will definitely not It will affect our friendship, but there will definitely be no second pot.”

Lance couldn't help laughing, "That's really regrettable, well, I'll be careful." At this moment, Pound's confession was enough to put Lance in a good mood.

Pound chatted and joked with him, and then, Lance took this opportunity to invite Pound to attend the birthday party of the head of the Potts family at the beginning of next month; Pound's name has long been on Lance's invitation list The top few.When Pound heard this, he thought there was no reason to refuse; after all, Lance's attitude of soliciting was quite clear from before, so he agreed.

Lance was even more delighted when he got Pound's promise, and then he wanted to ask Pound more about his experience after the space crack. The door of the living room near the atrium was suddenly pushed open.

Lance turned his head in surprise.Because when receiving guests, according to the rules, even the head of the family has to enter without knocking on the door.Therefore, behind the door that was pushed open, it was naturally not anyone from the Pozi family, but...

"Lord Volrick!?" Seeing the person, even Lance's eyes widened.

Because the hideous scar that should have been on this face turned out to be a tall northerner who disappeared without a trace.

Because in Bergland's report, nothing about scars was mentioned.

After all, Bergland saw that Funk had no scars on his face.

"Your Excellency Lance, long time no see, are you finished talking?" Funk grinned naturally.

Lance was also surprised that Funk looked so different, but it was Pound who replied, "Almost, why?"

Pound would ask this because Funk was holding Goldo with one hand and carrying the hairball on his shoulder; let the hairball sit astride with his head in his arms.In addition, Mao Tuan's eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to cry or not.

"Oh, just now, Goldo chased the hairball to prevent him from approaching the pool, but he tripped over a tree root and fell heavily, and his knee was swollen," Funk said, holding Goldo and approaching Pound, " I helped him get rid of it," Funk knows how to use some light healing spells, "but let me show you."

"Let me see," Pound hugged Goldo with a frown, then lowered his head and helped Goldo's little knee to look at it.At this moment, Goldo whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Pang De didn't respond, he just changed several angles and squeezed, "Is that so? Doesn't it hurt?"

In Lance's eyes, this cute little boy with silver hair and blue eyes shook his head, "It doesn't hurt." But compared to the boy's obedient answer, his little hand was relying on Pound's shoulder, and his small body was leaning against Pound, like Trust me wholeheartedly.

Pound patted the little boy on the back after checking, and looked back at the hairball hugging Funk's head to hide; his eyes were red and his mouth was flattened, as if he knew he was wrong.Pound snorted, "If he likes to look for water, let him go, and you can pick him up after he chokes, so that he will know."

Goldo's eyes widened when he heard that, "...If you choke on water, the hairball will cry."

"He's crying now too," Pound pinched Goldo's little face, "Aren't they all the same?"

I don't know if Mao Tuan understood, so he hummed twice in response to the situation.

Goldo was a little happy when he heard that, "I will be careful in the future."

Pang De was helpless; Guoerduo's old habit of pampering hairballs could not be changed, so he rubbed Guoerduo's silver hair.

"Okay, let's go home."

Funk at the side turned Mao Tuan into his arms and hugged it. Mao Tuan didn't know whether he wanted to apologize or what, so he stretched out his little hand and hummed a few times towards Goldo.Seeing this, Funk patted the hairball on the head, "Don't think about it, Goldo is injured, but I don't have the energy to hug you, fat boy."

The hairball writhed in disbelief, moaned inarticulately, and didn't know what to say. When it was Pound's turn to reach out and touch the hairball's head, the hairball behaved strangely.Funk couldn't help shaking Maotuan, "You're only afraid of Pound, bad boy." Maotuan rolled his big eyes and vomited a bubble in response.

Lance, who was watching from the side at this time, was already a little stunned.Because the scene in front of him was as harmonious and natural as a family getting along, and there was not even a trace of the politeness and alienation in Pound's speech just now.

At this point, Lance also understood that before he arrived at the living room, Funk took the two children in front of him to play in the atrium, so Pound, who was watching by the window with a faint smile, also It should be the scene of these three people playing in the courtyard...

After realizing this link, Lance felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle for some reason.

Lance was already absent-minded about the group's farewell later.
