Building a magic laboratory requires more than just a basic magic circle.
Space extension, protective isolation, array laying, research equipment creation, etc., each thing needs to be alienated and created with soul crystals, natural gems, and precious metals.
The cost of alienating one gram of counterfeit refined gold is as high as hundreds of thousands of US dollars.
The cost of alienating one gram of counterfeit mithril is also tens of thousands of US dollars.
These are just the basic materials needed to build a magic laboratory, and the quantity required is so staggering.
Not to mention the alienation of other rarer magical materials.
Looking at Veronica with a longing look on her face.
Roy gave an awkward but polite smile and said, "Mysweety, before we start researching CPH4, we need to deal with some financial issues."
Veronica: "???"
"Honey, are you out of money?"
Roy:"..."
Veronica's question left Roy at a loss for words.
During this period, in order to build Wonderland Manor and the Book of Magic, Roy not only spent all his savings, but also withdrew the protection fee of Little Italy for the next ten years.
If Roy wasn't so incredibly powerful, he wouldn't have claimed hundreds of lives.
With Roy's crazy "exploitation", Roy's partners might even rebel.
If Roy didn't have a bit of rationality and moral bottom line, he would have wanted to use CPH4 to directly create blue magic, replacing Frank Lucas and becoming the new generation of drug king.
Seeing Roy's expression stiff.
Veronica smiled slyly, hooked Roy's chin, and said, "Honey, I have an idea. Do you want to listen to it?"
Roy raised his eyebrows and said, "Mysweety, you don't want me to sell my kidney, do you?"
Veronica laughed even more happily, and the granary shook, attracting everyone's attention.
Fortunately, Roy has determination.
Roy calmed down, slapped Veronica on the buttocks, and said, "Stop messing around and get down to business."
Veronica restrained her coquettish look a little, hooked her finger, and took two bottles of crystal clear magic potions from the magic handbag in the living room in the distance.
One of the bottles is clear orange, sparkling with a hazy glow.
The other bottle was as green as jade, exuding a refreshing breath of life.
Roy took a quick look and asked in surprise, "What is this...?"
Veronica got up from Roy's arms, opened two bottles of potion, and said, "My dear, this is a potion I made in Wonderland Manor using two kinds of magical plants as the main ingredients."
"This orange one is called Tulip Temptation. It can enhance your charm and clear your mind."
"This green one is called Oak Life Essence. It can enhance vitality and cleanse the skin."
"I made these two potions to use as perfume and skin care products. Didn't we just acquire a cosmetics company from a kind person?"
"I learned from the TV network that cosmetics in modern society are extremely profitable..."
The more Veronica spoke, the brighter Roy's eyes became.
Previously, Roy, because of his identity as a mafia member, fell into a blind spot in thinking. When it came to making money, he only thought of taking shortcuts.
After Veronica's reminder, Roy suddenly came to his senses.
Compared to making money through side channels.
The most profitable thing is the legitimate business.
It's not just the two magic potions made by Veronica. Roy's previous magic guns, rune bullets, etc., as long as his ideas change, they can all achieve great things.
Women's money, the military's money, there's so much money to be made.
In an instant, all kinds of inspiration began to surge in Roy's mind like a fountain.
There is a way to make money.
But specific things still require some preparation.
First of all, I guess I can't get involved in the arms trade right now.
Although this thing can make money, if you only have the technology but no strong enough influence and network of contacts, you can't even cross the threshold of making money.
But the cosmetics that Veronica mentioned are indeed a good way.
Cosmetics research and development, plant research, biopharmaceuticals, genetic medicines, etc., is a path with a very high ceiling.
Not to mention, the dimensionality reduction attack of potion technology on modern society.
Definitely, potion technology also has limitations. The output alone is a big problem.
Roy's thoughts raced, and he quickly asked, "Dear sweetheart, how effective are these two potions? What's the yield? And the cost. I need to fully sort out this way of making money."
Hear Roy's question.
Veronica frowned immediately and said, "Honey, this is indeed a problem."
"Potion refining shouldn't be a problem. The tulips and oak orchards in Wonderland Manor can provide the main raw materials. We can also summon some flower spirits from other planes to take care of the magical botanical garden, increase production, and refine potions."
"However, the sources of the auxiliary materials for these two potions may be a bit troublesome."
"The oak life essence requires vampire blood essence to stimulate and enhance the vitality of the potion."
"Tulip's temptation requires the use of werewolf sweat glands to enhance and balance the magic's effects."
Roy:"..."
"Mysweety, are you sure this is a magic potion? And not some evil witch's concoction?"
It is strange that the oak life essence requires the blood essence of a vampire, but it is understandable. After all, the vitality of a vampire is indeed amazing.
But the temptation of tulips is a magic perfume.
Werewolves and the like have always been synonymous with dirt and stench.
Veronica rolled her eyes at Roy and said, "My dear, you are still a modern person."
"Don't you know, dear, that the most stinky thing is the most fragrant?"
"The aromatic compounds in a rose, concentrated 10,000 times, smell like feces; the shell of a durian contains a lot of lipid sulfides, which is like rotten eggs."
"This is all modern science, and it's covered in many middle school textbooks."
Veronica blinked and stared at Roy with a teasing look.
Roy:"..."
"Haha, I definitely know that. Um, I was just testing your reaction, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously."
"Not mentioning that, how are the effects of the two potions?"
"Our potion is aimed at ordinary people, and ordinary people don't have extraordinary bodies."
When controlling a man, occasional teasing is acceptable, just treat it as a little fun.
But at critical moments, you have to save face for men.
Veronica was once the eldest princess of the British royal family. Especially her mother, she first captured the Duke of Cornwall and then firmly controlled King Uther.
Veronica is a natural in this regard.
Gave Roy a sweet kiss.
Veronica said calmly, "The potion has been diluted."
"According to current market trends, we can also make a regular edition diluted 100,000 times, a collector's edition diluted 10,000 times, and a premium edition diluted 1,000 times..."
