Chapter 432: Producing Accessories
Chapter 432: Producing Accessories
“Hello, Yvonne…”
Paqina raised her hand slightly and greeted Yvonne, which finally confirmed to Yvonne that the person in front of her was indeed Paqina.
“Hello…”
Yvonne merely replied with a simple greeting. She felt that Paqina was now out of her league, and if she interacted too much with her, Loren might think she was trying to curry favor, which would be disastrous.
In the end, she could only silently stand by William’s side, watching his obsequious demeanor.
The things William offered were enough to cripple the Chailros Family financially, but it was all worth it because Loren had just said he would mass-produce some accessories for the Chailros Family to sell.
The production method for accessories had been monopolized for a long time, basically allowing sellers to set whatever price they wanted. As long as the Chailros Family sold them at a slightly lower price, they could rake in massive profits.
Hearing this news, William was overjoyed, but Loren could still sense the deep sorrow buried in his heart. He wasn’t as good at hiding his emotions as Lane.
After all, Lane was his blood brother. From William’s repeated attempts to promote Lane during this time, Loren could see how strong their bond was.
Now that Lane was dead, William didn’t even dare to mourn him.He hated Lane for being foolish, hated him for bringing ruin to the entire family, but hatred couldn’t erase the bond of blood thicker than water.
“Alright, get going now. I’ll send the finished accessories over to you.”
Loren didn’t intend to tell them how to make the accessories; he only provided the finished products.
Making all the accessories by himself would be quite exhausting, but Loren had a slave, Noah, who could do the work.
A slave needed sleep, but Noah didn’t.
“By the way, you can mourn Lane, but skip the funeral.”
“Yes… Master Mentor…”
William felt a surge of joy, and this time it was genuine.
He had no objection to Lane’s death. A mistake deserved punishment, and he only blamed himself for not teaching Lane better.
Their brotherly bond oddly reminded Loren of Guo Jing and Yang Kang, except Lane hadn’t left any offspring, otherwise Loren could have named him “Chailros Guo.”
“Alright, hurry up and leave. I still have things to do.”
William had brought Loren a lot of materials today, which gave Loren a new idea.
He planned to make another puppet. Now that he had the Hermit card, he didn’t need to consider concealment when making the puppet. He could just pile on materials, focusing purely on maximizing damage output.
But before making the puppet, Loren had to get the accessories done first.
Of course, Loren wasn’t that generous. He would definitely add something to the accessories, like a self-destruct effect.
If someone ever provoked Loren, he could simply make the accessory on them explode.
Planting a remote-controlled bomb on everyone - Loren thought his idea was genius.
When he got home, Loren told Paqina about this plan. Figuring out the accessory wasn’t difficult, but at least he now had an assistant to make things twice as efficient.
After making the decision, Loren and Paqina went to the academy together. They only took ten minutes to design the accessory, then a few more minutes to produce a sample, achieving terrifying efficiency.
They made rings. Rings were in the highest demand, and compared to other accessories, they were harder to take off, ensuring that even if someone had intuition warnings, they could still get blown up.
Although they weren’t as lethal as accessories worn in other spots, they could at least guarantee hitting the target. If they couldn’t hit, all the talk was useless.
Plus, they might even blow up an opponent’s weapon. All things considered, Loren decided to make rings.
“Give it a try.”
Loren put on the ring himself. The effect of this ring was simple - it added a bit of Intelligence, not much different from the intelligence rings on the market, but the advantage was that it was much cheaper.
During this time, Loren and Paqina had been focused on how to integrate the explosion effect into the ring. The biggest cost of the ring was the explosion effect.
“All done. These devices need to be packed up too, to use for producing accessories.”
“Don’t you have equipment at home?”
“That’s not it. When I came, I had Scarlett move my lab stuff here too. Taking these away is to give to Noah. Free stuff, why not take it?
“My equipment is better than the academy’s, so I can’t give it to Noah.”
“Oh…”
Paqina started thinking. She knew who Scarlett was, but from Loren’s description, Scarlett was supposed to be just a mentally disabled girl he had taken in, someone who couldn’t do anything.
“You really can’t judge a book by its cover…”
In the end, Paqina attributed all this achievement to Loren.
No wonder he’s Master Mentor - he can even train a disabled person to be this useful.
After returning home, Loren immediately took the newly acquired equipment and headed out:
“Take a rest for a while, Paqina. You’ve worked hard during this time.”
To create the Synchronized Heartbeats for Loren, Paqina had barely rested. She had only just learned to make accessories and had already crafted such a powerful piece. Loren was impressed by her talent and effort.
Hard work wasn’t scary, and talent wasn’t scary either. What was scary was having both talent and relentless effort.
“Yes…”
Paqina responded, staring at the direction Loren had left. Being cared for made her feel a warmth that was so strong she didn’t even notice Naclis staring at her ring.
Looking at her own empty finger, Naclis thought back to the ring she had seen on Luna’s finger earlier, her mood growing complicated.
“Where did you get that ring?”
Anna suddenly grabbed Paqina’s hand, staring at the ring on her ring finger, and asked the question Naclis had been wanting to ask.
“This… I made it myself…”
Hearing this answer, Naclis breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Loren didn’t make it, it was fine. But Paqina’s next words made Naclis’s heart jump to her throat:
“I made a pair. The other one is with Master Mentor.”
“!”
A pair of rings… worn on the ring finger… This made Naclis think of wedding rings. This was far more dangerous than Luna’s ring, because Luna’s, at least, only she had one.
“Is Master Mentor wearing the other one?”
At this point, Naclis couldn’t hold back anymore and blurted out the question.
“He carries it with him all the time…”
“It’s over…”
Naclis collapsed into the chair like she had lost her soul, leaving Paqina completely at a loss.
Paqina roughly guessed what Naclis was thinking but didn’t know how to say it.
After thinking for a long time, Paqina finally forced out a sentence:
“Naclis, don’t worry. In the future, I’ll treat you like one of my own…”
The moment she said this, Paqina quickly covered her mouth. She realized she had probably said the wrong thing, even though it was her honest thought.
