The costs of developing new materials were staggering, and the results were [staggering] too.
After lavishly wasting nearly twenty thousand yuan's worth of materials, Jiang Han finally realized:
"This won't do! We haven't seen a single result, but we've already wasted so much money on raw materials!"
She looked at the bill with a pained expression.
Just experimenting with materials capable of [storing both leyline energy and magic power at the same time] had already cost a fortune. They had even blown up another sixty or seventy crucibles, while the byproduct they developed was merely a powerful adhesive that drew in leyline energy and magic power to bond things together—practically useless. They were simply bleeding money.
A catastrophic loss!

"The part we thought would be easy unexpectedly got stuck..."
Histeria had messed up her hair as well, causing the two witches practicing in the training ground to glance over involuntarily.
The trio of shorties huddled before a fireplace in a rest area, each with a Fireplace Cat Lamp in her arms to pet, while a small tea table beside them held Marg Barrel drinks meant to restore morale.
Lin Zhaojun poured herself a cup of Marg Barrel liquor, then touched the raccoon ears on her pajamas.
"I really didn't expect it to be this troublesome."
She frowned.
"Leyline energy can clearly be converted into magic power, yet allowing the two to coexist is actually this difficult? If we use ruby liquid to store magic power, the leyline energy will shatter the ruby instead."
Xiya sighed.
"We may have to consider using more expensive materials. Same old rule—should we buy some mithril for research?"
Are you trying to kill me?
Jiang Han's face twitched. With a pitiful expression, she stretched out her paws and vigorously rubbed the Fireplace Cat Lamp
