《Breeding Dragons From Today》Chapter 19: Snowflake Chamber of Commerce
Advertisement
"Master, we're here!"
Joelson poked his head out of the carriage.
"Benedict Chamber of Commerce."
"Yes, it's a Chamber of Commerce set up by Count Benedict. It includes two auction houses, three jewelry stores, more than a dozen magic potion stores, weapons stores, and so on."
The coachman was as familiar with the Chamber of Commerce as if he was at home, and his answer was extremely smooth.
"Oh," said Joelson." Then let's go to the weapons shop first."
The coachman responded respectfully and drove the carriage for about five minutes.
He stopped in front of a shop with the symbol of a crossed mage's scepter and sword.
"Wait at the door."
Joelson instructed the coachman and then strode into the weapons shop.
Joelson needed a handy magic wand.
Although mages did not rely on weapons as much as dirt, a good magic wand could speed up a mage's casting speed, increase the power of casting spells, and accelerate the speed of mana recovery.
In a duel between two mages of the same strength, a mage with the support of the magic wand would definitely be able to completely crush an empty-handed mage.
However, not long after Joelson walked in, he walked out.
The coachman felt strange. "Master, why are you so fast? Have you already bought it?"
Joelson snorted lightly. "There's nothing good in here."
The coachman was a little surprised.
"Go to the shop that sells magic potions."
The coachman drove the carriage to change direction.
Inside the carriage, Joelson's face was full of helplessness.
He did not look down on the things in the shop. The fire magic staff that the waiter had just introduced to him was very good.
It was made from the core of a red paulownia tree and an intermediate fire-type gem the size of a pigeon's egg. Joelson really wanted to buy it.
But when he asked the price, he found out that it was sold for eight thousand gold coins.

He couldn't afford it, so Joelson could only pretend that he didn't want it.
The Magic Potion Shop was also not far away.
As soon as Joelson entered the shop, just like in the weapons shop, someone immediately greeted him.
"What do you need, dear customer?"
Joelson thought for a moment and said, "Do you have any spirit potions?"
"Of course!"
The waiter showed a warm smile.
Those who would buy spiritual potions were all mages. Basically, all mages were rich.
"The basic spiritual potions cost fifteen gold coins per dose, and the intermediate spiritual potions cost twelve hundred gold coins. Which kind do you need?"
Joelson frowned and asked, "Why is it so expensive?"
The waiter smiled and replied, "I can give you a discount."
Joelson nodded and said, "Then I'll come again next time."
Then, he turned around and left.
The smile on the waiter's face froze. He was so angry that he cursed under his breath, "Why are you pretending to be a mage when you have no money? You're wasting my time!"
Joelson heard it clearly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he asked the coachman to take him to more than ten different Chambers of Commerce and different magic potion shops.
"That's enough. Let's call it a day."
Joelson threw a gold coin to the coachman who yawned, looking a little sleepy.
"Let's go back. I'm tired."
"Yes, Master!"
The coachman didn't understand why this noble master was so strange. After walking around for a whole day, he seemed to have bought nothing after walking around half of the Imperial Capital.
He didn't understand.
But he didn't dare to say anything more. He sent Joelson to the gate of the academy not far away and drove the carriage away happily.
He was happy enough to get two gold coins a day.
After Joelson got off the carriage and waited for the carriage to leave, he did not immediately return to the Magic Academy. Instead, he turned around and entered an alley.

A few minutes later, a tall and thin man in a black robe with a pale face and a thin face walked out of the alley.
It was Joelson.
It was not that he did not buy anything.
He bought transformation potions and voice-changing potions in several shops.
He had now changed from a handsome young man to a hoarse, eccentric, and lonely magic potion master.
This was a necessary disguise.
Joelson had to be careful.
If people knew that he was selling intermediate spiritual potions and was targeted by others, the consequences wouldn't be what he wanted to see.
After all, whether it was him or Du Lu, their current strength was very weak.
Snowflake Chamber of Commerce.
A medium-sized Chamber of Commerce.
A large Chamber of Commerce had many good things, and Joelson could not offer too high a price. A small Chamber of Commerce also had no money, so they could not sell at too high a price.
Little George stood in front of the counter and yawned out of boredom.
There were no customers all day, but a well-dressed noble youth came in the afternoon and asked a lot of questions.
George thought that some big customer had come, so he was very enthusiastic. He made tea and put in a lot of effort.
In the end, the other party left without buying anything, which made him very angry and depressed.
Suddenly, a figure walked into the shop.
George's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked up to him. But when he saw the other party's appearance, his enthusiasm was immediately reduced.
His clothes were too shabby, and he did not look like a rich man.
"Sir, is there anything you need?"
Little George still asked politely.
But the other party did not even look at him. He walked straight to the store and sat down. "Call your store manager out. I want to discuss a big business deal with him."
George could not help but frown. "Sir?"
Before he could finish his words, the other party glared at him fiercely.
Those eyes were like knives. George suddenly felt a wave of fear, so much so that his back was covered in a cold sweat.
"I... I'll go right away!"
George hurriedly ran away, cursing in his heart, "F*ck! It's actually a mage!"
It was normal for a magic potion shop to meet a mage, but it was George's own misfortune to meet such an overbearing and unreasonable mage.
Joelson sat for a while, and the manager of Shelley's Magic Potion Shop slowly walked over.
It was a thin, short, and sharp-eyed middle-aged man.
"Dear customer, how may I address you?"
Joelson snorted coldly.
"Just call me Edward."
"Mr Edward."
The manager sat down across from Joelson with a smile.
"What is the big business you are referring to?"
"Do you accept spirit potions?"
The store manager frowned slightly. He thought that the other party was here to buy things, but he did not expect that they were selling things.
His attitude immediately became very cold
"Our Chamber of Commerce has its own magic pharmacist."
Joelson interrupted him and said, "What if it's a high-grade spirit potion?"
"What?!"
George, who was beside him, couldn't help but shout. The store manager glared at him, his gaze changing.
"What do you mean?"
Joelson took out the spirit potion and put it on the table.
The store manager frowned slightly.
"This is only an intermediate-level spirit potion."
"You're wrong."
Joelson shook his head and said seriously, "This is a high-level spirit potion, a new type of high-level spirit potion. It increases the efficiency of meditation by 40%, and it can increase fire element affinity by 30%."
"How is this possible?"
The store manager could not help but laugh.
Joelson looked at him indifferently.
"You can try."
The store manager saw that Joelson did not believe him and said a few words to Little George. Little George left quickly and soon led another person out.

A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.

Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.
