Even though she knew Audrey's net worth very well, Valeela still felt a little bitter when she really heard her say this.
Just a year ago, she could only earn 6 pounds a month without eating or drinking. She was almost caught by a gang for 200 pounds of formula money.
Even now, she is just eating the old capital left by Qili, and has not made any good progress yet.
In fact, it’s not that Valeela doesn’t have good investment projects, she just lacks money and start-up capital.
The few thousand pounds left on her hand can support her daily expenses for a long time, but if she uses it to invest, it will not only be difficult to generate any income in the short term, but she will also lose the liquidity in her hand.
After confirming the pricing of the formula, Audrey smiled easily and said:
"Well, Valeela, you don't really need to worry about this."
"The way businessmen make wealth is simply to buy low and sell high. What's more, it is normal for people in urgent need to buy at a premium. I don't think the previous exchange was unfair."
Audrey's monthly fixed pocket money is more than 4,000 pounds, and she still has a lot of change savings. The price is only three times the premium, and the difference of 400 pounds is nothing compared to the potion formula she has longed for.
She cares more about her friendship with Valeela than this compensation.
But the next moment, she changed her mind and was tempted by Valeela's compensation.
If she hadn't become an "audience", Audrey would have doubted whether she would blush again.
"I know you are not short of gold pounds, so I plan to tell you some occult knowledge as compensation." Valeela said.
This hits Audrey's pain point.
As long as it was about occult knowledge, there was nothing she didn't want to know.
"Then, just tell me." Audrey changed her tone and her voice became much softer unconsciously.
"The first and most important piece of knowledge."
Valeela took on the appearance of a university lecturer, her voice became serious, and she said:
"Methods to reduce the risk of losing control include not only meditation and exercise, but also a technique called 'acting out'."
"According to my understanding, the key to 'acting' lies in the 'name' of the potion. For example, if you are an 'audience', then you must act as an audience rather than an actor. Only in this way can you master the potion more thoroughly. power to avoid loss of control to the greatest extent.”
"I got very few hints, and my understanding may not be accurate enough. You can give it a try first."
Valeela did not directly teach her the complete acting method. This was to maintain her first-time extraordinary persona, and secondly to leave some supporting material for Klein.
After listening to Valeera's words, Audrey vaguely grasped the feeling of "acting", but she couldn't understand it accurately. She only felt that it was a level deeper than simply using abilities.
Because of Valeera's additional statement, she gave up her intention to pursue the question.
"Other than acting, I don't know much."
Valeela relied on the "Happiness" Witch's control over herself, and told lies with her eyes open in front of the "audience":
"I also know that the Sequence 8 corresponding to 'Audience' is called 'Mind Reader'. The ancient name of Sequence 7 is 'Psychoanalyst' and is now described as 'Psychologist'. There is an extraordinary organization called 'Psychological Alchemy Society'. There should be these recipes.”
"Mind reader"... and "psychiatrist" all fit my taste perfectly. I don't envy Fors's ability anymore... Well, if you give me another chance, I will choose "audience" .
After Audrey thought about it for a while, she asked with bright eyes:
"Then do you know how to find the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'?"
Valeela showed a somewhat forced smile and said in a guessing tone:
"Based on the 'acting method' I just mentioned, there may be some well-known psychiatrists who are real 'psychiatrists'."
"Other than that, I have no other choice."
Audrey nodded slightly disappointedly, "Okay then."
"There is also the 'Medicine Master'. Its corresponding Sequence 8 is called the 'Animal Tamer'. It can tame magical animals and become its helpers."
Having said this, Valeera smiled and added:
"So I found a very smart hound very early and cultivated a relationship in advance. After I was promoted, I could use magic potions to turn it into a magical animal. I no longer had to risk going out to find and tame wild magical animals."
After hearing this, Audrey asked curiously:
"Can animals drink potions?"
"Yes," Valeera nodded affirmatively. "Apart from genetics, potions are the gentlest of other ways to acquire extraordinary abilities. Of course, animals can also acquire extraordinary abilities through this method."
"And the smarter the animal, the less risky it is to take potions."
Susie, I can only help you so far... After saying that, Valeela sighed in her heart.
Audrey also thought of Susie at the same time.
In her opinion, Susie was smart enough, and she happened to have all the ingredients for the "spectator" potion, which could make Susie a magical animal.
The most important thing is that Audrey suddenly thought that in the serialized stories in newspapers, Mr. Detective always has a right-hand assistant... and Susie is the most suitable to be the big dog following behind the real "audience".
For a moment, Audrey's eyes became bright.
At this point, Valeela has completed most of the preparations, leaving only the last step.
She continued her efforts, taking advantage of the last moment when the carriage was turning from King's Road to Williams Street, and said:
"Actually, Kiri has a notebook that records a lot of occult knowledge. What I just mentioned are all recorded in the notebook, and there are others that I haven't remembered."
"I'll go back and ask if I can lend it to you if you want to see it."
"Yes, I want to see it."
After finishing speaking, Audrey realized that she was a little anxious and quickly made up for it:
"Of course, the knowledge you told me earlier is enough as compensation. I will exchange it for something, um, I mean, if I can see it."
After being bombarded with such a message, Audrey, who had just become an "audience", was already distracted and forgot about her abilities.
Of course, even if she hadn't forgotten, at most her attitude would be calmer and her answer would be the same.
After hearing the expected answer, Valeela finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She put in considerable effort to correct this somewhat inexplicable deviation.
Although there was some improvisation in this conversation, it was more of a design she had carefully thought out in her "reasoning state".
From conception to execution, it is quite difficult.
Moreover, at this point, Valeera could only guarantee that Audrey could see the honorable name of "The Fool", but she could not predict whether she would recite it.
This step can only depend on luck, and Valeera cannot do better.
After all, this was the best solution she could come up with.
