    “For sure, it’s me!”


    Link cast aside distracting thoughts and responded without hesitation.


    Now was definitely not the time to be modest, but rather to demonstrate confidence and determination.


    Because what he represented was not just himself, but also Wizard Palo, who had rmended him.


    “Empty words do no good, real skill lies in the hand.”


    With that, the Serene Wizard pointed to the halved fresh nts and herbs, swaying her curvaceous waist and hips as she headed toward the hall, “Half is yours, begin your work!”


    Link kept his gaze steady, not looking where he shouldn’t, not lured by the tempting allure.


    A slight smile graced the Serene Wizard’s lips.


    She liked employees who could control their instincts and guard against their own desires.


    “Start your work!”


    As soon as the Serene Wizard left the backyard, Link pped his hands and took in his future work environment.


    The backyard, sprawled over a roughly 80 square-meter area, was divided into three sections:


    One part was a storage room for newly purchased, untreated nts and herbs;


    Another part was Operation Room A, for preprocessing nts and herbs;


    Thest part was Operation Room B, for advanced processing of treated nts and herbs.


    As for the minerals and metals used for many potions, they were kept and processed elsewhere due to their heavy pollution, not in this shop.


    Link took the initiative and took a tour of the area, locating the staff dressing room between the backyard and the front hall.


    Divided into male and female sections, Link went into the men’s dressing room and found a brand-new uniform.


    After changing into the uniform, Link returned to the backyard, located the nt and herb iing inventory list and diligently confirmed the types, quantities, and weights of the nts and herbs.


    Once these were all checked, Link did not rush into the formal work but instead patiently familiarized himself with the facilities and equipment in the operation rooms.


    After familiarizing himself with the facilities and equipment and ensuring that there were no problems with their use,


    Link also referred to the prominently disyed “Today’s Raw Material Pre-processing Procedure Details” to arrange the nts and herbs that needed to be processed.


    He prioritized them based on the difficulty and time consumption of the processing method, whether they needed to be left standing, etc.


    Link didn’t care about the so-calledpetition but buckled down and meticulous started the preprocessing work of the nts and herbs.


    Before long, the Serene Wizard returned, bringing two more people with her.


    Hearing footsteps, Link looked up, the two people chatting respectfully with the Serene Wizard were surprisingly familiar faces.


    One was Mina Havcheck, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, and the other was Antoine Hilton, the president of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, whom he had only seen in pictures on the forum.


    “Link Grande,e here for a second.”


    The Serene Wizard stood in the court, waved and called out.


    “Alright, Serene Wizard, I’ming.”


    Link quickly finished arranging the herbs he was dealing with, wiped his hands clean with a cloth, and then he walked out of the operation room.


    Only then did Antoine Hilton and Mina Havcheck notice Link’s presence, their faces turned slightly.


    The former was puzzled, while thetter felt slightly unnatural.


    “Do you know each other?”


    The Serene Wizard, being a Tier 3 Wizard, had excellent observation skills and immediately caught the subtle changes of the two.


    “We do.”


    Antoine Hilton took the lead before Mina Havcheck could speak.


    “Not well acquainted.”


    At the same time, Link replied without evasion or concealment.


    From his response, the Serene Wizard knew that there was some discord among the three of them.


    She had only been down from the front line for less than two weeks and had opened this potion shop after refusing the college’s teaching arrangements.


    She was very unfamiliar with the events that had urred at the academy in recent years, especially this year.


    What amused the Serene Wizard was that Link Grande was specifically rmended to her by Wizard Palo,


    While Antoine Hilton and Mina Havcheck hade to her of their own ord through thework of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” founded by Wizard Palo.


    All three of them had a connection with Wizard Palo, yet they clearly didn’t get along.


    She wondered what sort of amusement Wizard Palo had gotten himself into and what new game he was ying.


    “Regardless of whether you know each other or not,”


    The Serene Wizard, suddenly finding the situation somewhat amusing, decided to get involved and add some fun, “In my shop, you must observe my rules.”


    With that, the Serene Wizard turned to Antoine Hilton, “Mina Havcheck can stay here andpete with Link Grande for the position of nt and herb preprocessing. As for the guide position…”


    After pausing, she felt it necessary to take care of the members of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association”, as she was one of the founding members after all, “You can find a few more candidates, and have me choose. As I said before, if they’re suitable, they stay; if not, they go.”


    Antoine Hilton quickly replied, “I follow all yourmandments, respected Serene Wizard.”


    “Alright, you can leave now.”


    The Serene Wizard was not fond of such sycophantic courtesy, she waved her hand in impatience.


    It was precisely because she detested the rigid administrative management of the academy that she was hesitant to return to teach there.


    Antoine Hilton’s face stiffened slightly, but he didn’t dare lose hisposure in front of the Serene Wizard. He quickly masked it and left the potion shop.


    At this point, the Serene Wizard turned to Link and asked, “What do you think?”


    For such a question, Link’s reply was, of course, “I willply with your arrangement.”


    “Hmm, that’s settled then.”


    The Serene Wizard dropped this sentence and went back to the front hall, leaving behind Link and Mina Havcheck.


    Link didn’t feel any particr way about it. He calmly greeted her and returned to the operation room to continue his work.


    This eased Mina Havcheck’s mind somewhat.


    As long as it didn’t lead to other misunderstandings, that was for the best.


    The invisible pressure emanating from Link Grande seemed even greater than before.


    Regaining herposure, Mina Havcheck got busy as well.


    Following the previous conversation with the Serene Wizard, Mina Havcheck changed into a staff uniform in the women’s dressing room.


    After changing, Mina Havcheck looked around and for a moment was unsure of where to begin work.


    This was her first part-time job, well… she was still uncertain whether she would get it.


    Inexperience, unfamiliarity, panic, most of the problems faced by new workers were present in her.


    Looking at Link Grande’s proficient movements and smooth workflow, Mina Havcheck couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of defeat and unwillingness.


    Part-time jobs rted to Potion Study were extremely rare.


    Even when avable, they usually recruited third- or fourth-year Wizard Apprentices.


    It was evident how sought-after the part-time position of nt and herb preprocessing in the Serene Wizard’s potion shop was.


    Mina Havcheck had fought hard against more than a dozen second-year members of the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” to earn this three-day trial opportunity.


    Who would have thought that she would encounter this monstrous first year here!


    This made Mina Havcheck doubt whether her previous efforts were worth it.


    Sigh, what a karmic connection!


    She shouldn’t have set him up that one time in a delusional state.


    Isn’t this karma?
