Chapter 1322
Most importantly, even those alchemy shops that didn't have a good relationship with the Gilded Rose are now coming to them, begging for business...
The Mosch Family, renowned for producing precision alchemical tools, especially auxiliary devices, even sent two Sky Rank experts in person to negotiate. They signed a contract for the supply of fifty thousand Universal Cores.
In just three days, undercurrents surged. The Gilded Rose's new product, the Universal Core, still hadn't been publicly announced. Only a handful of families with inside sources knew about it, and only those who had previously worked well with the Gilded Rose managed to get their hands on it.
This was Farrow's way of winning hearts—giving those families three days to prepare and letting them receive the goods in advance. So when the Gilded Rose officially launched the Universal Core, they'd already have modified magical artifacts for sale, seizing the first advantage in the market. That early lead could mean staying ahead at every step.
In those three days, the Gilded Rose gained over a dozen new partners, all signing rather harsh long-term contracts...
Mosch Family. Reed Mosch stared grimly at the data report in his hand.
"Once the Universal Core goes on sale, it will definitely reshape the current landscape. This thing isn't just for magical artifacts—it can be used in alchemical golems, arrays, even all our family's alchemical devices.
With the same materials, we've already pushed our alchemical devices to the limit. But add a Universal Core, and even the worst-performing ones improve by forty-eight percent. And you can stack multiple Universal Cores, too.
The Gilded Rose isn't keeping these for themselves—they're selling Universal Cores directly. Farrow really is a genius. With this move alone, the Gilded Rose might just thrive in the Odin Kingdom..."
Beside him, another artificer was deep in thought.
"I heard Sky City bought ten thousand Universal Cores in one go. They must've realized these things can be endlessly stacked. With ten thousand, most of them are probably loaded into their Sky City. That war fortress hasn't appeared in over a thousand years—it might become even more terrifying now..."
By the third day, a flood of orders started pouring in. Three days was enough for alchemists to fully verify that the Universal Core far exceeded the data provided by the Gilded Rose.
Even if no one understood how it was made or what materials were used, it didn't stop them from buying Universal Cores. After all, if you didn't buy, your competitors surely would. No one wanted to fall behind...
On the fourth day, the Gilded Rose officially launched the Universal Core. The wide avenue was crowded again—people from every family, every alchemy shop, were waiting here.
During the first three days, Farrow turned away families who weren't close partners, using "limited stock" as an excuse. In reality, the Gilded Rose already had over thirty thousand in reserve. Once the alchemist teams figured out how to mass-produce the alchemical devices, that number would multiply several times over...
The word had already spread to those who needed to know. As for those who hadn't heard—they didn't have the means to buy Universal Cores anyway.
At noon, Farrow appeared personally at the gates of the Gilded Rose, looking out at the dense crowd with a faint smile on his lips.
"I'm sure many of you already know what the Gilded Rose is unveiling today. Yesterday's invitations included a brief explanation.
Today, the Gilded Rose is launching a core component called the Universal Core. It can be installed in most magical artifacts, alchemical golems, and arrays. It also optimizes the capabilities of alchemical items, allowing them to exceed their limits.
