Lokan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, praising, “It’s good that you think this way. I was worried that you misunderstood. I didn’t intentionally make things difficult for you…”

While speaking, Lokan slapped his head, bemoaning, “The more I explain, the more it looks like I did it on purpose.”

Link, not wanting to dwell on the topic, said, “Wizard Lokan, in your view, has our handover been completed?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Lokan laughed heartily, “You explained everything so thoroughly and comprehensively. How could it not count as completed handover? You can go about your business, I’ll take over here.”

In that case, Wizard Lokan, I will be going now.”

Link waved with his left hand and walked out of the backyard. He went into the men’s locker room to change out of his somewhat dirty uniform.

In the meantime, Link made sure to check his right shoulder.

Thanks to Wizard Lokan’s healing magic, from the outside, there were no visible issues, no sign of injury at all.

Link didn’t linger, he put on a new uniform, left the dressing room, and headed upstairs.

The first and second floors were approximately the same size but had entirely different layouts.

The entire second floor was open, with glass walls partitioning different functional areas.

Wizard Serene sat in the living/work area. The moment she saw Link, she casually asked, “Did Lokan make things difficult for you?”

In this potion shop, there was hardly anything that could escape Wizard Serene’s ears and eyes.

As long as she wished, she could detect even the footsteps of an ant.

The only exceptions were the men’s and women’s changing rooms.

Special materials were added during their construction, and through the use of alchemy, they insulated against detecting spiritual power and maximally weakened the senses.

Link shook his head and said, “No, Wizard Lokan was very cordial.”

“Really?”

Wizard Serene squeezed out a question from her nose, her tone shifted, and she calmly explained, “Lokan has no ill intentions towards you. It’s his habit; whenever he sees someone more handsome than him, he feels like giving a slap.”                       ⁶

Link remained silent.

Some questions demanded an answer, and some he did not want to answer.

Not telling falsehoods was Link’s principle.

He honestly didn’t think Wizard Lokan was hard on him earlier and indeed thought he was very cordial.

But regarding the slap being Lokan’s habit or not-

Sorry, Link wasn’t that magnanimous. He had been slapped, suffered intense pain, and still had to be understanding?

At most, he wouldn’t hold a grudge.

And indeed, Link didn’t hold a grudge.

Seeing his reaction, Serene didn’t continue the topic and instead instructed “Today, tomorrow, and the day after, you’ll be working with Tina, helping with potion distribution.”

“Sure, Wizard Serene.”

Link responded. His gaze shifted and found Tina, who was already busy and walked over.  ’

Potion distribution was not as simple as transferring liquid from a larger container to smaller ones. It required significant skills.

Detailed knowledge of potions’ characteristics, distribution methods, precautions and more were all fundamental requirements.

Some potions were delicate and demanded severe storage conditions. The slightest mistake, such as not storing them in dark potion bottles, would render them ineffective upon exposure to sunlight.

There were countless instances like this.

Therefore, mastering Potion Study, being proficient in techniques, and being bold yet cautious were all essential skills for a Potion Distribution Assistant.

Link came upstairs with the aim to learn.

That’s why he did not rush to bother Tina while she worked and did not hastily start work himself. Instead, Link stood aside, watching Tina’s operation quietly.

After a while, Tina finally finished diluting and distributing a large bottle of “Regret” potion base.

Observing the crystal-clear, ten “Regret” potions, stored in special glass potion bottles, exuding an indescribable allure-

This allure was known as the Magic Stone, and it was a standard second-class Magic Stone!

Link admired Tina greatly. Holding so many standard second-class Magic Stones, her hand remained steady during the entire process, with no flaws and impressive finesse.

“You are here.”

After putting the ten “Regret” potions into the refrigerator, Tina greeted and then asked, “What do you think after watching?”

Link thought for a moment, honestly saying: “It feels very exciting!” “Why?”

Tina was quite curious about Link’s statement.

“I was standing on the sidelines, not even daring to breathe heavily, afraid of affecting you,”

Link laughed, “If something went wrong, all those Magic Stones-I wouldn’t be able to afford it! Even if I sold myself, I wouldn’t be able to afford it!”

“Hee-hee-hee…”

Tina’s laugh was easily triggered. She was amused and let out a laugh that sounded like a honk.

Laughter echoed in the potion distribution room, making it feel even weirder.

After a while, Tina stopped her strange laughter and said, “Don’t worry, if it really comes to that, I’ll introduce you to some wealthy ladies. Even if we sell you, they can afford it.”

Tina paused before revealing the reason for her strange laughter, “After all there have been a few wealthy ladies discreetly inquiring how much it would cost to have you, the ‘Friend of Witches’, their ‘toy boy’.”

A befuddled expression crossed Link’s face.

What the hell does that mean?

Are witches that wild?

I’m still underage, still naive,

Can they really go through with that?

Faced with this inappropriate topic, Link chose to remain silent.

Perhaps feeling it was inappropriate to broach this topic in front of a minor, Tina wisely changed the subject, asking, “What’s your plan? Watch first or’ dive right in?”

“I wouldn’t dare to just dive in.”

Link shook his head, “I think I’ll just follow your lead for now, Tina. When the

time is right, then I’ll step in.”

“That sounds good.”

Tina agreed without any sign of selfishness.

For the rest of the morning, Link followed Tina around, watching primarily, occasionally assisting and handing her tools.

Of course, he couldn’t just watch. He also had to compare what he saw with the potion distribution knowledge and methods he had memorized.

It’s the practice of theory linking to reality.

After a busy morning, it was time to change clothes and have lunch.

Wizard Serene and Giant Locke didn’t stay in the shop for lunch, they went out.

Tina brought her lunch tray and sat with Link and Jasmine.

She glanced around, looking a bit sneaky, and in a whisper, asked, “You’ve met the new colleague, is he easy to get along with?”

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s whisper, yet Sharia and Ayla, not too far away, heard it clearly.

The two of them turned their heads and looked at Link at the same time.

Clearly, the three female employees were very interested in this question.

How could Link answer?

Say it’s easy to get along?

Link only interacted with Lokan, the wizard, for a short time. He didn’t really understand Lokan’s temperament or style. If later, the three of them found Lokan difficult to get along with, whose fault would that be? Lokan’s, or Link’s?

Say he’s hard to get along with?

That would be outright offensive.

He just smiled, said nothing, and continued eating.

Seeing Link’s reaction, Tina empathized with his awkward situation and didn’t press further.

Sharia and Ayla were slightly disappointed. They had hoped to hear some inside scoop.

What a bummer!

After lunch, everyone took a brief rest before getting busy again.

On the second floor, Tina raised an eyebrow at Link, whispering, “Is he difficult to get along with?”

Link was somewhat speechless.

Why was she still dwelling on this?

Although he could understand Tina’s concern…

Among the three female staff, she would be dealing with Giant Lokan the most.

If Lokan was difficult to get along with, she needed to be prepared.

But couldn’ t she consider his perspective for a moment?

“Sis…”

A helpless expression crossed Link’s face as he pleaded, “Please let it go. Stop asking me questions I can’t answer.”

At his words, Tina chuckled awkwardly and finally gave up prying.

Luckily, she was not one to hold grudges. Even though she didn’t get an answer from Link, she didn’t take it to heart.

When it came to potion distribution, she taught Link as promised, without hiding anything.

Link was truly grateful for this.

He studied even more diligently!
