Chapter 699: Chapter 201 – Personal Guard Captain_2
Dean Frist is constantly busy, he may not necessarily be too fond of the Fourth Ring “Construction” set, unless Link could standardize the implantation process and minimize its cost.
Therefore, Link plans to let Sage Serene make the decision for him.
By the way, he would also ask Sage Serene to help him reap some benefits.
This time, Link won’t sell at a loss.
Through his personal smart brain, he sent all the data pertaining to the functions and effects of the “As You Wish” set to Sage Serene and then quietly awaited the reply.
Before long, Sage Serene sent a communication request.
...
“Link Grande, don’t go too far!”
Upon initiating the video call, Sage Serene immediately started scolding, “Time and time again, what do you take me for?”
“Sis, Serene sis, dear sis.”
Link completely gave up his usual calm persona, smiling goofily without a care in the world.
“Hmph!”
Sage Serene glared at Link, still fuming.
Link kept his smile, waiting until Sage Serene calmed down before he spoke, “Sis, just say it, even though I brought you a difficult problem, if it’s handled well, you’ll profit, right?”
“Is it me who profits, or you?”
Sage Serene glared at Link, asking coldly.
“Win-Win! Win-Win! We both profit, everyone benefits!”
Link kept playing the audacious card.
Sage Serene was somewhat stymied by Link’s disregard for persona and image, and grumpily huffed, “Just wait, I’ll notify you.”
Having said that, Sage Serene ended the communication.
Link slapped his thigh, speaking proudly to himself, “Isn’t that all settled then?”
Not long after, Sage Serene sent a text notification, telling Link to head to the Teaching Research Group Laboratory now.
“Jasmine, I’ll go out for a bit, you keep busy.”
After calling out, Link left his own laboratory and drove straight to the Teaching Research Group Laboratory.
Third floor basement.
Sage Serene and the long-unseen Lokan Wizard were already waiting there.
After the previous stimulation, Lokan made a lucky promotion to Third Level Wizard then, and was no longer infatuated with Sage Serene, and even planned to quit the research group.
It was as if he had suddenly attained enlightenment.
“Grande, I haven’t thanked you yet for saving my life and helping me keep those natural talents.”
Upon seeing Link, Lokan Wizard immediately did something that the old him would never do.
He apologized to Link quite formally.
“All that’s in the past, don’t worry about it.”
Link waved his hand, signalling to Lokan that there was no need to dwell on those things.
“Thanks still need to be said.”
Lokan Wizard said very seriously, then bent his sturdy waist and bowed to Link.
This attitude actually made Link feel a bit embarrassed.
After all, he was calculating Lokan earlier.
Sage Serene looked on from the side, witnessing the whole thing, she even caught the subtle change in Link’s expression that was hardly discernible to outsiders. It became clear to her, she felt amused.
But it’s precisely because Link isn’t always profit-first, holding onto various human traits, that Sage Serene didn’t reject Link’s approaches from the very beginning.
For Wizards, preserving one’s humanity is common sense.
But those who can do it well and do it fully are few and far between.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many wizards who fell during the Metamorphosis Period before promotions to Sage status.
Back to the point.
Sage Serene started to speak, “Enough of that, let’s not beat around the bush. Lokan, you need to think carefully. Link, you describe the details of this ‘As You Wish’ set again for Lokan’s reference.”
“Yes.”
Link took out his portable smart brain, projecting the design of the “As You Wish” set.
Pointing to each “Constructed” piece, he began to introduce his design ideas, expected functions, expected effects, as well as their pros and cons.
After he finished explaining, even the noticeably calmer Lokan Wizard couldn’t help but listen with gleaming eyes and heavy breath.
Lokan Wizard imagined if he implanted the “As You Wish” set, combined with his many physical talents, witchcraft, and Magic Tools, he could completely unleash an attack strength comparable to a full-blown strike from a Fourth Level Sage.
Even though this attack doesn’t have enough force to harm or kill a Fourth-Level Sage, it can still cause trouble among Third-Level Wizards.
Unless they run into a freak like Link Grande.
“What conditions are needed?”
The Lokan Wizard took a few deep breaths to calm himself before asking his direct question.
“Link, don’t overdo it.”
Sage Selene focused her gaze on Link, admonishing him seriously.
She wasn’t taking sides with Lokan, but she didn’t want to see Link turn a situation that could be beneficial for everyone into an awkward mess.
In the end, instead of gaining favor, he would end up stiffening relationships further.
“I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Sis Selene.”
Link expressed his stance before looking at the Lokan Wizard and said seriously, “Lokan, you should be able to calculate the value of the ‘Do Whatever You Like’ suit. I won’t name an outrageous price, and you shouldn’t just throw your money away. Let’s be fair about this. You name a price, in any form, and I won’t haggle. I’ll simply agree to it.”
His declaration was indeed full of sincerity.
The Lokan Wizard scratched his bald head, hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Are you still short on people in ‘Do Whatever You Like’? How about I just join ‘Do Whatever You Like’.”
“This…”
Link was a little stunned by Lokan’s response.
They were supposed to be discussing the price of the “Do Whatever You Like” suit, and suddenly the topic shifted to “Do Whatever You Like”.
Sage Selene explained from the side: “Lokan is considering leaving the teaching research group. He doesn’t want to go back to Palo’s place, so…”
Before she finished speaking, Link understood what Sage Selene meant.
After all, if he had to join one organization, it was safer to join one he knew well.
After weighing his options, he chose ‘Do Whatever You Like’.
Link pondered for a moment, his tone serious, “This is a different matter.”
“That’s true.”
Upon hearing this, Sage Selene nodded, “It’s indeed two separate matters. Lokan, propose a new price. Something reasonable that passes muster.”
Lokan scratched his bald head again, pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes lit up. He said loudly, “I’ll be your personal guard captain.”
“That works.”
Before Link could respond, Sage Selene voiced her opinion.
“That’s acceptable.”
After thinking for a moment, Link agreed.
The academy doesn’t support freeloaders.

Normally, once a Second-Level Wizard completed their studies, they would have two choices.
One was to choose a Sage-Level Legion to join and go on to the frontlines for experience. The second was for the academy to assign them to a Sage-Level Legion and go on to the frontlines for experience.
Considering Link’s exceptional abilities, the academy wouldn’t make arrangements according to the normal rules.
So, the most likely scenario was for Link to form a main force group like a senior Third-Level Wizard and then, led by this main force, be incorporated into a newly promoted Sage’s legion by the academy.
That’s how Sage Palo’s legion came about.
Given the way body refinement interfered with Lokan’s thinking, it wasn’t easy for him to figure this out.
“Alright, let’s get started.”
Even though Sage Selene specialized in Potion Study, she had been following the concept of “Construction” since she first became aware of it.
Aside from Link himself, Sage Selene could be considered the person who knew the most about the “Construction” system.
Therefore, when Link passed the tricky problem of persuading Lokan to be the first to voluntarily implant the ‘Do Whatever You Like’ suit and even pay for it, Sage Selene went to great lengths to make it happen despite her complaints.
Now was the time to witness the implantation process of the “Do Whatever You Like” suit.
Lokan didn’t hesitate. He stripped off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body and lay down on the operating table.
Link fetched the already-prepared equipment and potions from within his real “Small World”.
The tools were all designed and created by Link himself to explore the standardization of “Construction”.
The potion was a newly developed implantation medium: “Tattoo”, simple and clear in name.
“Pay attention.”
After getting everything ready, Link cautioned and started to implant the ‘Do Whatever You Like’ suit into Lokan.
Considering Lokan would become his personal guard captain, Link was putting his full effort into the process.
After all, his own life was the most important.
