The potion of Kablan Alchemy Workshop has become very popular in the Royal City of Talata. Although it has only been on trial sale for just two days, the feedback it has received is really amazing.
Although it is undeniable that these medicines all have side effects of one kind or another, and the side effects are indeed a bit disgusting.
But who are these mercenaries?
All of them are characters who wear their heads on their belts all day long.
For them, it really doesn't make much difference whether they have such side effects.
As long as these improved medicines are not low in potency or have disadvantages that can damage the root, then a little problem cannot be regarded as a side effect at all.
What's wrong with it if it smells a little bit, or if you fart if you drink it, even if you lose all your hair, it's still better than losing your life.
The basic price of the potions produced by the alchemist is more than one silver coin. This amount of money is enough to support an ordinary civilian family for a month.
For these mercenaries, they often cannot afford alchemy potions. They are only willing to prepare such a bottle when performing truly dangerous tasks.
If the potions are not unpacked when they come back after completing the mission, they will even sell these potions at a low price to their peers in the special mercenary market, and exchange them for some coins to update their equipment.
This is the life of a low-level mercenary. Every money must be calculated carefully and there is no room for waste.
Therefore, the potions of Kablan Alchemy Workshop were highly sought after by everyone as soon as Fang appeared.
There is no way, who wants others to sell it so cheaply?
As long as the price is good, then some minor problems are not considered problems at all.
…
Zhang Xiaoman has also received sales feedback in the past two days, and he is quite surprised that these potions are so popular.
But later, after listening to Yifei's explanation, he understood.
It seems that life is not easy for these low-level mercenaries.
It reminded him of the bounty hunters on Aquamarine.
Perhaps those people are very mysterious and free in the eyes of ordinary people. They can get hundreds of thousands or millions of rewards for taking a single task, and then have a good time.
It's a pity that this is just a plot in the movie.
In fact, the job of a bounty hunter is not as wonderful as people think.
Spending all day long in the mountains and forests performing missions, or escorting an employer in a small, backward country. There is not even a game for entertainment on weekdays. The days are miserable, and even the pay is pitiful.
Zhang Xiaoman had met Weiss and the others from the Wildfire Team before. In terms of normal mission income, a bodyguard hired person would only cost tens of thousands of dollars at best.
After that, we were still working hard and running around. In the end, the money had to be shared equally with several people in the team, which was simply not enough.
Therefore, this is why many people choose to join as soon as they learn about the organization Wildfire Tavern.
Compared with the life of a bounty hunter who has never had a meal, he can enter the warm Wildfire Tavern, receive well-paid bounty missions, and even get the chance to transcend.
Even if the opponents encountered are more powerful, all dangers are nothing compared to the coveted rewards.
With these thoughts in his mind, Zhang Xiaoman began to secretly wonder whether he should develop the Wildfire Tavern into this universe.
It had been half a month since the bounty mission was released. After collecting intelligence these days, he found that people in this world had no understanding of the cracks in different dimensions.
There has been no progress in the mission. Obviously, there may be no way to find the dimensional rift for a while.
Even if we think about the problem more seriously, maybe there are no cracks in the world at all?
After all, this is a fusion between two universes. Although dimensional cracks will appear, there is no guarantee that they will exist on every planet.
According to Naifaya, dimensional cracks may often appear only in areas where certain fusion positions are relatively active, such as Aquamarine...
In most other places, let alone a planet, even an entire galaxy may not be able to have a dimensional rift.
If this is really the case, then Zhang Xiaoman can foresee that he will not be able to go back for a long time.
Maybe it would take hundreds of days of lottery to gather enough stardust to plant World Tree branches, and then there would be a chance to leave this planet and return to the first universe.
In that case, it could be as fast as more than a year or as slow as several years.
Therefore, it seems that it is not impossible to establish an own organization here first.
Anyway, even if he goes back in the end, his connection with this planet will definitely not be interrupted.
At that time, as long as he opens the door under the tree, the Wildfire Tavern here can be moved into the Wildfire Department, which can be regarded as a layout for future exploration.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to think about how the establishment of the Wildfire Tavern would be carried out.
After all, there is already an extremely large mercenary union in this world. If you simply compete with them for business, you will definitely not be able to do so. You must use some other means to attract people.
"By the way, alchemy potion!"
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up.
He thought of the alchemical potions he had recently researched.
"As long as I focus all my authorization on the Wildfire Tavern, I won't have to worry about no mercenaries coming to buy it."
Recently, in order to promote his potion, he licensed part of the formula to several alchemy workshops in the city, and received a very good response.
Zhang Xiaoman decided to keep the new formula secret until he actually started to build the Wildfire Tavern, and then used this as a condition to ask all the alchemy workshops to cooperate with his tavern, so that he could naturally win over a large number of allies.
Moreover, the conflict between the Wildfire Tavern and the Mercenary Union will not be great.
The Wildfire Tavern only accepts bounty hunters, and most of the quests within it are self-published.
Unlike the mercenary union, they will accept any kind of job, and anyone can issue tasks, including assassinations and bounties.
This seems a bit incredible to Zhang Xiaoman.
A person's bounty mission was hung upright there. If this were the planet he lived on before, someone would blow up his nest in retaliation in a matter of minutes.
It may be that the personal force in this world is too strong, and ordinary people have no way to resist.
With the top strong men in the mercenary union, no one can really destroy their nest.
But Zhang Xiaoman didn't like this situation very much, and even felt a little disgusted.
When mercenaries accept a mission, they don't care who the mission target is. They just kill each other directly for their own commission and earn rewards.
In his eyes, this is no different from killing someone on the street without any bottom line.
It was also difficult for him to understand why such an organization existed to this day.
But no matter what, these things have nothing to do with me.
The mercenary union can grow so powerfully for its own reasons.
Worldview, culture, social structure, prosperity and other factors are all factors that have created everything today.
He had no intention of changing this, but at least he couldn't join in. The Wildfire Tavern had its own bottom line.
At this time, the door to the room was pushed open, and the person who came in was the alchemy tutor he hired, Yifei.
"Mr. Jiexing, I'm back!"
As soon as the girl entered the door, she ran over with joy and looked in a very good mood.
Zhang Xiaoman was infected by her smile, and his mood became much better.
"What's wrong? Is there any good news from the alchemy workshop?"
The girl found a stool and sat down, shaking the bag of coins in her hand loudly.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at her curiously and said with a smile:
"With such a big bag of money, it seems you gained a lot today."
"Hehe, this is the money I earned today. Although it is not mine, this is the first time I have made so much money by selling alchemy potions!"
Yifei said and handed over the money bag. Zhang Xiaoman took it and opened it and looked at it. There was a lot of silver coins inside, and occasionally one or two gold coins could be seen.
"Mr. Jiexing, I have exchanged all the money into coins of the largest denomination as much as possible. In total, there are three gold coins and twenty-five silver coins. Subtracting the cost of refining medicine, we have earned one gold coin today. Fifteen silver coins!”
There were stars in her eyes, and she looked like she was obsessed with money.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't feel anything about it. To be honest, he didn't like the money at all.
However, in order not to dampen the girl's enthusiasm, he still encouraged her:
"You have done a good job. It seems that leaving this matter to you is a wise choice. Don't worry, as long as you do well, you will have a share of the Alchemy Workshop."
Zhang Xiaoman casually drew a big cake for her.
But what he said is indeed true. Anyway, he definitely doesn't have time to take care of this. Now that he can have such a high-level alchemist girl to do it for him, it will naturally benefit the other party.
Naturally, Yifei was very happy to be hit by this pie.
She has suffered a lot since she lost her parents and became an orphan. During that time, she got rid of her spoiled habits as a child.
Effie loves alchemy and knows some spells. Her ultimate goal is to one day become a legendary alchemist like Master Brin.
The small goal is to make money through the alchemy you learn. Of course, the more money you can make, the better.
Now, the appearance of Zhang Xiaoman gives her hope of realizing her dream. How can this not be exciting?
"By the way, Mr. Ji Xing, we have a big customer coming to our alchemy workshop today. According to your prior instructions, I made an appointment with him to meet you here in the afternoon. Judging from the time, he should be here soon."
Yifei revealed another reason for her visit.
In order to promote their improved potion, Zhang Xiaoman allowed Yifei to bring some big customers who were interested in cooperation to meet him here. However, there had never been any customers of sufficient importance before. They were all the owners of some small alchemy workshops. These were not at all If you need him to interview, just leave it to Yifei to handle it directly.
In addition to teaching him alchemy, Yifei is also his assistant here, responsible for taking care of all matters related to alchemy.
Zhang Xiaoman commissioned her to open the Kablan Alchemy Workshop, and the girl gave it the name. Zhang Xiaoman didn't like names anyway.
"I understand, by the way, I need someone to help with an experiment here. The potions in your alchemy workshop are sold out anyway, so you can stay and help me complete the experiment."
Zhang Xiaoman said.
"Okay, Mr. Jixing, I will fully cooperate with you."
Effie nodded seriously.
One thing neither of them noticed was that in this room, their teaching relationship seemed to have unknowingly changed.
If someone who didn't know the inside story saw it, they would probably think that Zhang Xiaoman was the mentor and Yifei was his apprentice.
…
At the same time, outside the reception area of the mercenary union, two figures in robes got off a luxurious carriage and arrived in front of the manor where Zhang Xiaoman was located.
"Is this the place where the mercenary union used to entertain your Excellency? The environment is not bad."
The purple-robed old man at the head looked around and praised him with both salt and water.
"Teacher, please wait a moment. I will tell the people inside to open the door."
Beside him, a middle-aged man bowed and saluted, and then walked towards the gate of the manor.
The visitors were none other than Fox, the president of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce, and Ogmundu, the vice president.
"Uh-huh!"
Ogmundu hadn't taken two steps when a figure suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"Ogmundu, why are you here again!"
The man had a loud voice, a burly physique, a shining mithril armor, and an amazing physical aura. At first glance, he was a super-powerful man.
"Bruce!"
When Ogmundu saw the visitor, his expression changed slightly.
This is the person who blocked him before, a seventh-level warrior known as "War Madness"
