My Favorite Game Followed Me!

During the next couple of days, Anton was busy learning from his tutor and was glad that he was now learning the basics and the things that he needed to know to not appear as a rube. He wondered if he should ask his father to undergo a tutoring session as well and he decided to open it up in one of their meals.

In the afternoons, he was busy in the warehouse repairing all the things that Anders, Nemina, Lunelle, and Devon had purchased. He also repaired the wands that Lucas stored in the warehouse. Anton also made sure to retrieve all the items that Eric had produced and this included the magic wands that were requested by Lucas and Nemina that Eric had exquisitely made.

After repairing all the items that his father and the others had purchased, the rest of the time was spent in him enchanting the items that Eric had made. He also asked Colin to put the wands that he had already completed back into the warehouse so that Lucas could retrieve them.

Anton learned that Eric and three of his friends were now staying in the workshop near the warehouse so he provided them the enchanted items that would make their stay in the workshop comfortable like the magic lanterns, the air conditioner, the cup of cold water, the stove, and the water spout enchanted item.

Also in those two days, Anton didn’t manage to progress his druid character since his time in the World of Sanctuary was taken up by his mana power bank project and he successfully completed it.

The mana power bank was as large as a smartphone and as thick as three smartphones stacked together. It basically consisted of five thin pieces of wood stacked together and would allow one to recharge all of the items that he had created five times before the power bank itself needed charging. Any more than five pieces of wood that were already stacked, the power bank would explode. The mana power bank had a durability of one hundred meaning that it would disintegrate once it was recharged one hundred times and there was a clear indicator in the device of how many recharges were left before it disintegrated.

Anton thought that they could offer a repair service for the power bank but knew that once there were plenty of them going around the city, he would not be able to keep up with the demand for repairing them so he decided to treat the item as consumables, meaning once the one hundred recharged was reached then the users could just allow the power banks to disintegrate.

Because of the power bank, Anton decided to remove the mana structure to some of the enchanted items that would gather ambient mana from the surroundings. This would make enchanting the items easier and faster and it was also a business decision since that would allow the demand for the power bank to skyrocket. A wizard could charge the power bank but Anton thought of hiring a mage to perform charging services for the power banks but he would allow his father and Nemina to decide that. The mana power bank would automatically attach itself to the mana storage structure of his enchanted items and would automatically turn itself on and start the charging process. Once the enchanted item’s mana storage was full, the power bank would automatically turn itself off and de-attached itself from the item’s mana storage structure.

Anton thought of adding some other spell structure on the power bank like some sort of flashlight or even attack or defensive spell but during his experimentations, the added mana structure caused the power bank to destabilize and explode.

But all in all, Anton was proud of himself for completing the mana power bank item. He went to Eric’s workshop to present the power bank to him and asked his opinion on the way they could present the power bank. Eric then told him that he could create thin pieces of wood with the same sizes and thickness that would allow each of them to slot towards each other like a Lego and that he could only put decorative engraving in one piece of wood that would serve as the front of the power bank.

Eric immediately opened his notebook and created some designs for the power bank. When the carpenter was done, Anton found that the design was simple and basic but elegant so he told Erick to go ahead and add the items to be created and put them in the warehouse.

During the dinner Anton presented the power bank that he completed, everyone was impressed at the function of the items and even the two old tutors were speechless.

“Can it also recharge the wands?” Lucas asked excitedly.

“In theory, it could but then remember that our wands have a fatal flaw. It would be destroyed once it reached the twentieth casting so that meant that you would not be able to use it to charge the wands.,” Anton answered and that made the head guard disappointed.

But then again, there were very few wands anyway so it wasn’t a problem for Anton to repair and recharge those. Without any conflict, the total number of wands that needed to be recharged every day was ten since they stuck to that number of wands for practice. All in all, there were only seventy wands currently that were being used by the guards including the new ones.

“Will it allow you to recharge any enchanted items?” Ms. Damby asked.

“It would recharge all of the enchanted items that I’ve made but I’m guessing that it wouldn’t charge those that were made by others since the structure of the enchantment is different from mine,” Anton answered.

After they ate, Anton showed all of the enchanted items that were made by Eric and enchanted by him. All of the wooden sculptures including the stove which had some metal in it were truly elegant and beautiful and everyone admired each one of them. The air conditioner enchanted item and the lantern were particularly beautiful when activated.

“I don’t know the pricing for the enchanted items so you will need to do some research Nemina. You may need to hire some consultants for that but I don’t really know anything so it will be your decision. Please remember that all of my enchanted items were consumable and there’s a clear indicator of when the items would disintegrate. I call them durability. All of the enchanted items had two types of indicators. The amount of mana in the mana storage and the durability so please be mindful of that when it comes to pricing.  Here in our mansion, it’s different since all of the items can be repaired by me to avoid them getting destroyed so please inform the maids to monitor the durability of the enchanted items in our mansion and once they need to be repaired, they will need to bring them to the warehouse so Colin could bring them to me for repair,” Anton told everyone.

After that announcement, Ignomus reported to Anders and Anton overheard that there was already a frenzy among the nobility about the movies. At least the mages amongst them were calmer since mages had seen a lot of beautiful and magical things but there were still a lot that were hoping to be invited to the viewing event on Sunday.

The ballroom was big enough Anton supposed and the only thing Anders could do was increase the number of seats. Since it was going to be an all-day event, their family would have to prepare a lot of food but it’s a cost that they would need to bear to establish connections here in the city.
