Wu Tian handed the mixing stick to Chu Xiao and said, "I will shout for you twice. If you feel that the time is right, I will stop shouting."
During the handover process between the two, there will be a time deviation, which requires Wu Tian to help Chu Xiao correct it. Chu Xiao nodded. Although he had been facing Wu Tian's time just now, he also knew that there was no room for mistakes.
When 3 minutes and 27 seconds were up, Wu Tian said: "Stir."
Chu Xiao quickly started, and after two weeks of stirring the stirring rod evenly in the medicine furnace, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Wu Tian and asked, "Is that okay?"
Wu Tian nodded with a smile and said, "Well done. It seems that you have done similar work before."
It was the first time Chu Xiao received a compliment from an outsider. She felt a little embarrassed and said, "Fortunately, I used to help my mother with work, so I'm used to it."
Wu Tianxin said, no wonder he is so proficient. He has learned things passed down from his family since he was a child, so he naturally learns them much faster than the average person.
While the two were chatting, the medicine furnace gradually began to boil, proving that all the raw materials put in were cooked. Wu Tian said: "This is a crucial step. Remember, when the raw materials are cooked, start to simmer slowly. .”
He found rollers and placed them on both sides of the cave below, adjusted the flame to two-thirds smaller, and said: "This time the rotation time is changed to 1 minute and 11 seconds, and it must be stirred evenly for two weeks each time."
Chu Xiao nodded quickly and saw that the time was almost up. He held the stirring rod and when the time was up, he quickly stirred evenly for two weeks.
From the top of the medicine refining furnace, you can only see the boiling liquid medicine. However, if you can see the bottom of the medicine refining furnace, the medicine liquid is always between mushy and not mushy. If you make a mistake, the liquid medicine will become mushy, which will prove your failure. .
Chu Xiao strictly followed Wu Tian's requirements, stirring every 1 minute and 11 seconds. After he stirred 60 times, the liquid in the medicine furnace was reduced by two-thirds, and the color of the liquid turned light brown.
He continued to stir 20 times, and the liquid medicine was reduced by half, turning into a dark brown viscous liquid, and a medicinal scent came out of the medicine furnace.
"Is it okay?" Chu Xiao asked, wiping his sweat. This is not real sweat, but it is a system prompt that the connection between the player and the helmet is declining. Long-term concentration will put the player's brain in a tired state. , the system will automatically disconnect.
Wu Tian shook his head after smelling the smell and said: "This is the last step. When you smell a slight odor among the aroma of medicine, it is success."
Suddenly, a smell came. Wu Tian's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he quickly lifted the medicine furnace away from the flames of the cave. He said to Chu Xiao who was standing aside: "We succeeded."
Chu Xiao was inexplicably excited, and quickly went to the medicine refining furnace, looked at the medicine inside, and found that at this moment, the medicine turned into dark brown.
"Why did it change color? Is this proof of success?" Chu Xiao asked.
Wu Tian said: "The change from light brown to dark brown only lasts a moment. If you look at it with your eyes, it is easy to be delayed. A second of delay will reduce the release of a lot of pills, so I have developed a method, which is to wait until the pill is successful. , once the smell wafts out, it proves successful."
Chu Xiao nodded and said, "I understand."
Wu Tian clicked on the system interface and bought the elixir wrapping paper. A set of 99 pills cost 1 copper coin. Then he picked up the medicine sieve, solidified the elixir into spherical shapes, and placed them on the wrapping paper.
System prompt: You have successfully made Dali Pills
Daliwan
Type: auxiliary medicine
Effect: Physical attack +20
Time: 30 minutes
Description: After eating him, your strength will be greatly increased!
Wu Tian smiled with satisfaction, threw the Dali Pill to Chu Xiao and said, "It's well made and the effect is very good."
"Boss, we are really rich." Chu Xiao said excitedly with little stars in his eyes: "The cost of each of these things is only 2 copper coins. If we sell them, even if they only cost 1 silver coin, It’s also a huge profit.”
Wu Tian nodded and said: "How can this thing be so cheap? I think it is good to price it at 10 silver coins. It only costs 1 yuan when converted into cash. Every man will be willing to exchange 1 yuan for 30 minutes of durability. "
Chu Xiao's face was full of excitement, and he followed Wu Tian to turn all the medicinal liquid into pills, forming 100 powerful pills at one time.
Wu Tian put Dali Pill in his backpack, found a signing contract from the official, and said: "You passed the assessment, this is the work contract. From now on, you will be the boss of my pharmacy, and I will give you the total revenue of the pharmacy." 10% of your salary."
"So many?!" Chu Xiao was excited. This was not 10% of the potion he made, but 10% of the pharmacy. In other words, if he could recruit 10 people, then, in one refining potion, the ten furnaces of Dali Pills would be , all the profits from one furnace are his own.
If he recruits 100 people, it means that 10 batches of potions belong to him. Now Dali Pill is the exclusive business of him and Wu Tian. With such a low price, he will surely be able to quickly occupy the entire Jiangling City and even several nearby buildings in a short period of time. Market in the main city.
"Boss, this is too much." Chu Xiao said with some fear: "With this much money, I can become a millionaire in less than a month."
Wu Tian smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother, I am optimistic about your future. I believe you can bring me more profits in the future. Moreover, I don't have time to manage this store, recruit all personnel, and raw materials." You need to be responsible for purchasing, guiding them in refining medicine, and selling the medicine after it is made. This is not only your salary as a pharmacist, but also your salary as a store manager. Moreover, you will not make much money in half a year. , we need to expand, you must be prepared to endure hardships first."
Expanding the store requires a large amount of cash, paying employees also requires a large amount of cash, purchasing raw materials and renting space also require a large amount of cash. It will take at least half a year before the real money can be made.
"I'm not afraid of hardship, but now I'm afraid of being looked down upon by others." Chu Xiao said excitedly.
"Then how about we give you Yingying and Liu Ze a surprise in half a year." Wu Tian asked with a smile.
"Okay." Chu Xiao's eyes were filled with anger as he signed the contract.
System prompt: The contract was signed successfully. The player Sanxiaosheng, whose real name is Chu Xiao, ID number: 210682235203290878, residence: No. 128 Guanghu Street, Changhe Town, has officially become your employee.
Wu Tian delivered the contract to the official mailbox and said to Chu Xiao: "Let's go and sell Dali Pills with me. By the way, you can look for a suitable alchemist. In addition, I will find a batch of alchemists for you." apprentice."
"Medicine refining apprentice?" Chu Xiao was a little confused.
If you want to become an alchemist, the test is extremely difficult. Traditional Chinese medicine with a family tradition like Chu Xiao is very rare. Therefore, Chu Xiao is not sure how many people can be recruited. However, even if an alchemist is recruited, the alchemist will still be able to make alchemy. The success rate is also a problem. There are probably only a few people who can master the method of refining medicine in a bronze medicine furnace.
These things were still problems. Chu Xiao didn't know what the use was of Wu Tian recruiting an alchemy apprentice who didn't know anything.
Wu Tian smiled sadly. As an old saying goes, no matter how successful a person is, he will owe a debt of debt that he cannot afford to repay. It just so happened that Wu Tian owed it.
He wanted to repay the debt, but it seemed that it was not the right time yet, so he said, "It's okay. There's no rush in refining the alchemy apprentices. I'm not recruiting them now."
Chu Xiao nodded.
"Let's go." Wu Tian led Chu Xiao out of the alchemy room and stored the remaining herbs in the pharmacy. The first warehouse has 50 slots and is free without spending any money.
At this time, the time has reached 8:30 in the evening, and there are many players in the Jiangling City safe zone. After two days, the total number of players entering the Huaxia region has exceeded 300 million, with an average of nearly 10 million in each main city. player.
Time in the game is faster than real time. Every six hours is one day, and day and night each occupy three hours. This is the tenth hour of sunset in the game.
The red sunset casts a little light on the golden glazed tiles of the ancient buildings in Jiangling City, complementing the harmonious scenery of the players in the city, as if the players are not in the game, but really in an ancient metropolis.
"Have you heard? Qiyunge was killed today by the Star Wishes Alliance and the Phantom Fire Guild. The boss, Duan Yuntian, has not come online yet."
"A level 10 buffalo boss appeared on the Buffalo Plains in the west of the city today. It was right in front of me. It's a pity that I didn't grab it. What a pity."
"How about we go to the Wasp Forest to kill wasps later. I think those things are quite afraid of magic and bows and arrows."
"The wolf skins in the Evil Wolf Valley are good things and can be sold for a high price. I will take you to hunt them later."
…
As Wu Tian walked, he looked at the harmonious beauty around him and said to Chu Xiao, "Do you like this game?"
"Of course." Chu Xiao was also in a good mood because of this beautiful scenery, and said to Wu Tian: "I fell in love with this game from the first day I entered the game. It is so realistic."
Wu Tian laughed. The two of them chatted all the way into the auction house in the west of the city. Because he had bought all the cheap herbs in the auction house in the north of the city. It is estimated that the prices there must have increased a lot now, so he came to the auction house in the west of the city. Try your luck.
The two walked into the door. The interiors of Chengxi Auction House and Chengbei were exactly the same, with a spacious hall and counter stalls.
Wu Tian found an unmanned counter, handed the potion in his backpack to the auction dealer, and said: "100 Dali Pills are sold separately, with a minimum price of 10 silver coins and a maximum price of 50 silver coins."
"Okay." The auction dealer collected the items.
The current stage is a public beta, and no transaction tax will be charged on the auctioned items. If after the public beta is over and currency transactions are officially opened, the auctioned items will be charged a transaction tax ranging from 1% to 20%.
Wu Tian turned around and took Chu Xiao to find two chairs in the public rest area in the hall and sit down. He said to Chu Xiao, "Take a rest. Let's wait for the results."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion at the door. Wu Tian turned his head and looked around, and was surprised to find that Qiankun Zongheng, the boss of the Hundred Cities Alliance, actually walked in with a group of people. When people around him saw them, they all gave way and their momentum was incomparable. Yuntian also wants to make players panic.
"I don't believe that this auction house doesn't have auxiliary potions? You can buy one at the pharmacy for a gold coin. No matter how rich I am, I can't waste it like this." Qiankun cursed.
Without turning on the currency exchange function, a guild's funds may not exceed 500 gold coins at most. However, one potion per person in a dungeon costs 10 gold coins. Once the player dies, the effect of the potion disappears and you have to take it again.
Obviously, Qiankun Zongheng failed to fight a certain dungeon several times, and he couldn't afford to take auxiliary medicine like this.
The first vice-president next to him was a short fat man. He wiped his sweat and said: "The Fox Cave dungeon is indeed difficult, but it is the area that produces the most magic equipment. There are many benefits for us to defeat it. As for potions, I have sent people here several times. Sorry, I really haven’t seen anyone selling auxiliary medicines. You know, this thing has no formula and has only been taken for two days. How can anyone make it?"
Qiankun glared at Humpty Dumpty, walked to an empty stall in front of him, and said to the auction trader: "Give me a list of auxiliary medicines."
"Okay." The auction trader was a beautiful NPC. She smiled and opened a list of bamboo slips in front of Qiankun Zongheng. The first line on it was the Dali Pill with the lowest price of 10 silver coins.
"I'll kill you." Qiankun Zongheng turned around and slashed the short fat man with his sword, cursing: "Look what this is, didn't you say it wasn't there? Why did it happen when I came here?"
The short fat man was dumbfounded. When he saw the Dali Pills on the list, he cried and said: "Boss, I am wronged. There really weren't any before. If there had always been some, I would have found someone to buy them in advance to hide them from you." , I can’t let you see it.”
Qiankun Zongheng was not a fool. He felt that the short fat man was right. Most of the anger in his heart was gone, and he said, "Buy it quickly."
"Hey~hey~!" The short fat man nodded quickly, took the list and asked: "Should we buy them all directly, or should we wait for the lowest price."
"Buy 10 at the highest price first, and buy the rest for 30 silver coins, absolutely no more than that." Qiankun Zongheng said.
"Okay." The short fat man immediately bought 10 pills, but as soon as he finished buying, the list of Dali Pills on the bamboo slips was reduced by half. He quickly turned around and shouted to Qiankun Zongheng: "Boss, someone else is also buying Dali Pills." , the price was also 50 silver coins, and there are only about 50 left."
Qiankun Zongheng frowned and said: "I still underestimated the purchase volume of this potion. It is estimated that now is the critical stage for major studios and guilds to create copies. As long as this potion is half cheaper than the official price, it will be snapped up by people. Forget it. , buy the others, and take our copies."
Humpty Dumpty immediately clicked to buy, but the number of Dali Pills on the list became less and less. He only snapped up 13 pills, and the rest were all sold out.
Transaction Tip: Your Dali Pill has been sold for 50 silver coins!
Transaction Tip: Your Dali Pill has been sold for 50 silver coins!
…
Wu Tian looked at the prompts that kept appearing in the dialogue column and the prompts in his ears. He smiled and said to Chu Xiao beside him: "They are all sold. Each one was sold for 50 silver coins. This time, we made a profit." Got 50 gold coins.”
Chu Xiao was stunned and said: "Exchange 2 silver coins for 50 gold coins. This business is too profitable."
Wu Tian couldn't help but smile. The current 50 gold coins were not the ratio of 1 gold coin to 10 credit points, but 1 gold coin to 500 credit points. No one was willing to exchange it yet.
At this rate of making money, if he hires dozens more pharmacists, it will not be a problem to earn 6,000 gold coins within a week. By then, the six shops will be able to open smoothly, which will also allow him to continue to be able to purchase more land. Or for land in other main cities, once currency exchange is opened in the future, the price of the land he bought will double hundreds of times.
"Let's go, let's gather materials and recruit pharmacists." Wu Tian stood up and said to Chu Xiao.
"Yeah." Chu Xiao nodded excitedly.
Wu Tian came to the auction trader and exchanged all the 50 gold coins in his hand for herbal medicines. The two rented two flatbed trucks and each took the herbal medicines and drove away. As soon as he returned to the pharmacy, five familiar figures appeared in front of him. before.
"Lan Lan, I heard that the Fox Cave dungeon produces special equipment for mages. Let's buy some potions and make a good set of equipment for you." Dong Xingchen said to Ning Lan beside him as he walked.
"Thank you." Ning Lan showed a faint smile.
"Lan Lan, you are so happy." Zheng Jiajia said excitedly: "Boss Dong is really willing to do anything for you."
Li Jiao said proudly: "That's because, based on our boss Dong's family background, there is nothing he can't do in this game."
Just as Dong Xingchen showed a proud expression, he saw Wu Tian pushing the cart in front of them. Suddenly, Dong Xingchen's expression collapsed and he looked embarrassed.
Wu Tian smiled. He didn't expect to meet a few of them here and said: "What a coincidence, we meet again. Let me tell you that Qiyunge is finished. They can no longer cause trouble for your Jiangzhou Legion." .”
Dong Xingchen and others were most afraid of Wu Tian saying this, and they were immediately embarrassed to the extreme. Zheng Jiajia did not feel embarrassed, but frowned and said: "I hope you'd better defeat them completely, otherwise If Duan Yuntian comes back to trouble us again, you will be fully responsible."
"Ha~!" Wu Tian sneered and said, "Okay, I will be responsible for Duan Yuntian's affairs to the end. If they cause trouble for you, they can come to me at any time, and I will definitely avenge you, ah."
Ning Lan could hear the strong sarcasm in Wu Tian's words. She smiled helplessly and asked, "Where are you going? Why are you pushing a big cart?"
Wu Tian said: "Refining medicine, I heard that making medicine can make money, we poor people have to find a way to support our families, right?"
Ning Lan's eyes instantly showed a look of contempt that could not be concealed, and said: "It's good, but this job is not easy, it is very tiring."
Li Jiao finally found a chance to refute and said: "There are strategies on the forum for making ordinary potions. Anyone can make this thing. How much profit this thing can make is really pitiful."
Dong Xingchen looked proud. Originally, he felt that Wu Tian had lost face because Wu Tian killed Qi Yunge, whom he could not afford to offend. But now he saw that Wu Tian was so poor that he needed to make potions, so he pretended to be generous and said: "If you are really short of money, , I can lend it to you."
Chu Xiao watched from the side. At first, he thought these people were Wu Tian's friends, but after a while he realized that these few people had enmity with Wu Tian, and these fools also brought Wu Tian into his hands. Tian Dang has become a rubbish alchemist who makes ordinary health-increasing and blue-enhancing potions. He is so stupid to sneer at him.
