Allen returned to Deepblue Abode, Unit E-071.

He closed the door, and the world fell silent.

He took off his Wizard Robe and hung it on the coat rack, then brewed himself a cup of "Golden Remembrance Tea." He walked over to the curved, floor-to-ceiling window and quietly watched the phosphorescent glow stirred up by the giant deep-sea beasts outside.

He didn’t rush to start work.

Threads of thought fanned out like a spider’s web, connecting all his memories related to "teaching," from his apprentice days to the present.

The first class at the Seven Towers Alliance, with those eager yet timid eyes in the audience; the mutual aid groups, where low-level apprentices failed their casting or even suffered backlash due to a tiny deviation in a Rune; and the battlefield, where Wizards fell for all sorts of reasons.

"Educational Golem," Allen murmured, mulling over the two words.

The emphasis wasn’t just on "Golem," but on "Educational."

The "Puppet Technology" literature he had frantically absorbed from the Association’s knowledge base over the past month collided violently in his mind with the teaching-related pain points he had accumulated over many years. This collision ultimately crystallized into two core design philosophies: "Educational Interaction Technology" and "Servitor Golem Engineering."

Allen opened his eyes, a faint blue data stream flashing through his pupils.

He turned, walked to the study on the second floor, and began to work.

First product line: The Educational Golem.

He borrowed the interactive logic of the "electronic tutors" from his past life—instant feedback, error correction, and progress tracking.

A bold concept took shape in his mind: to simplify and transplant the "Spell System" he had once developed for Gabriel into the core of a standard Humanoid Golem.

This Golem wouldn’t be a mere parrot that just recited lesson plans. It had to be able to "see" the fluctuations and deviations in an apprentice’s Magic Power during casting, flag incorrect nodes in real-time, and provide corrective suggestions. It would also be able to cast the simplest of Runes and Witchcraft. A Golem like this had never appeared on the market before.

A technical hurdle soon emerged. To achieve "real-time perception," a miniaturized version of a Demon Eye sensor module had to be integrated into the Golem’s eyes.

’A proper reconnaissance module is too expensive,’ Allen thought, his brow furrowed as he tapped his fingers on the desk.

’Cut the detection range. Apprentices usually practice Witchcraft within five meters in front of them; they don’t need kilometer-level, high-precision detection. Lock the focal length to a range of half a meter to two meters, disable dynamic tracking, and only retain Magic Power spectrum analysis.’

[Calculating... Solution is viable. Miniaturized short-focus reconnaissance module. Unit cost can be reduced to one hundred Low-Level Magic Stones.]

"Good," Allen said, continuing to press forward.

’Next is the user interface. My past life had LCD screens. What can I use here?’

Allen drew a circle on the Puppet’s chest armor and embedded a small light-curtain projection module.

’Set up a feedback mechanism: when an apprentice casts a spell, a real-time feedback interface will appear on the Puppet’s chest. Use red, yellow, and green halos to indicate the precision of their Magic Power control. Green means ’Pass,’ yellow means ’Deviation,’ and red means ’Danger.’ At the same time, integrate a basic voice module pre-loaded with standard teaching commands.’

As for the external design, Allen looked at the cold, hard mechanical skeleton on the light curtain and paused for a moment.

He pulled up the bionic shell data for "Service-Type Puppets" from the knowledge base and selected a soft, low-cost bionic silicone.

With a swipe of his finger, he gradually sculpted a gentle, androgynous face with the hint of a faint smile at the corners of its mouth.

’An apprentice’s first teacher shouldn’t be a cold hunk of metal.’

Looking at that smiling face, a rare flicker of sentimentality crossed Allen’s mind, but it was erased by logic just a second later.

’External design notes: A market strategy consideration. Increased affinity can effectively lower a user’s defensiveness and improve the purchase conversion rate.’

"DSeek, run a full cost analysis."

[Analysis complete. Educational Puppet (Basic Model), comprehensive material cost per unit is approximately 700 Low-Level Magic Stones. Suggested retail price range: 1,000 Low-Level Magic Stones.]

’Only a thirty percent profit margin?’

Allen looked at the numbers on the light curtain, but the corner of his mouth curved into a knowing smile.

"No, the profit isn’t in the hardware," Allen said, tapping the desk. "The hardware is just to get them on board."

"The basic model will only come pre-loaded with basic Meditation guidance and three cantrips. All other Witchcraft subjects will be packaged as separate ’educational data packs.’ If an apprentice wants to learn new Witchcraft, they’ll have to buy and load a new data pack."

"Each data pack will be priced... anywhere from 200 to 500 Low-Level Magic Stones."

The model that internet giants from his past life had used to death—capturing the market with low-margin hardware and then continuously reaping profits from software—was a perfect fit here.

Once an apprentice bought this Golem, they would have to continuously fork over money to New West for the next several years, or even decades.

With the design finalized, he moved on to the second product line: the Service Golem.

Allen pulled up the complete technical file for the creation of "Ah Fu."

As his first construct, Ah Fu’s cost was only three hundred Low-Level Magic Stones, but thanks to DSeek’s optimized movement templates, its fluidity far surpassed its peers.

He believed that after twenty years of technological refinement and a complete redesign, this type of Golem could completely crush similar products on the market.

The Service Puppets should be divided into high-end and low-end models. The core needs of the wealthy and those from common backgrounds were worlds apart; a single product shouldn’t try to cover both.

The high-end model would be named the "Butler Series."

Target customers: Scions of Wizard Clans, wealthy Official Wizards.

’Retain the high-precision humanoid shell, implant advanced social etiquette and schedule management algorithms, and even include wine-tasting and accounting functions.’

Allen quickly added the configurations. ’The materials have to be exquisite. These people aren’t buying a Golem, they’re buying prestige.’

[Butler Series cost estimate: 800 Low-Level Magic Stones. Suggested price: 1,500 to 2,000 Low-Level Magic Stones.]

The low-end model would be named the "Utility Series." Target customers: ordinary apprentices.

’Strip off the entire humanoid shell, leaving the basic mechanical skeleton. Coat the exterior with anti-corrosion paint. Cut the advanced intelligence, retaining only the basic functional logic for ’cleaning,’ ’laundry,’ and ’cooking.’’

An image of certain apprentices’ dorms—which were comparable to pigsties—surfaced in Allen’s mind. A Cleaning Spell was certainly useful, but it couldn’t cure laziness.

’Add to the product description: The ultimate cure for "pigsty syndrome." It can cook a decent meal, saving you money on eating out. The main selling point is that it’s cheap and durable.’

[Utility Series cost estimate: 380 Low-Level Magic Stones. Suggested price: 450 Low-Level Magic Stones.]

"Approved."

’I could also develop some vehicle products, like my old Flying Skateboard, but competition in that sector is fierce. Better to wait and see.’

Allen took a sip of his now-lukewarm tea and began to design the third product line: the Guardian Golem.

This was the "munitions" part of his educational munitions business.

A burly, 6’1" Humanoid Golem appeared on the light curtain.

It had no bionic skin, its entire body covered in matte-black, high-strength alloy armor. Its face featured only a single, inverted V-shaped, red crystalline light sensor, exuding an aura of cold lethality.

’Core requirement: It needs to be tough and able to block attacks.’

Allen pulled up data he had previously collected on the battlefield. When apprentices and low-level Wizards were ambushed in the wild, the first wave of a sneak attack was often the most fatal.

’Add two replaceable Magic Steel shield plates to the chest, with a built-in, simplified AT Field Generator.’

Allen designed an Energy Storage, the size of a fist, into the Golem’s chest cavity. ’It doesn’t need to last long. It just needs to hold for half a minute the instant an attack is detected.’

In half a minute, even the dimmest apprentice could rip open a Scroll or cast an escape spell.

’Implant a "Sentinel" alert module responsible for scanning the surrounding environment when camped at night. The Golem must also possess a certain degree of close-quarters combat capability.’

It didn’t need to be lethal; it just needed to block the enemy with its steel body at the critical moment.

[Guardian Golem cost estimate: 700 Low-Level Magic Stones. Suggested price: 1,000 Low-Level Magic Stones.]
