Chapter 018 Western Fantasy Town 9

Klein's Adventurer's Guild is as big as a football field.

The last time Xie Yunsui came, he only looked at some of the content on the task wall. This time, he can take a closer look at these tasks.

"Recruiting bodyguards, purchasing exorcist potions, acquiring Flame Winged Beasts and Unicorn Bear Beasts..."

Comparing the information about the monsters on the task list, Xie Yunsui took out a list of unicorn bears.

This unicorn bear is also a second-level magical beast. Due to its huge size and strong defense, its strength is comparable to that of a third-level magical beast.

Few adventurer teams would challenge such a powerful monster, so this quest scroll had been left for so long that it was almost turning yellow.

Seeing him tear off the list, the adventurer next to him couldn't help but look at him again.

Xie Yunsui walked to the back and found that many orders had been replaced.

"Sweetie, scan."

Xie Yunsui consciously informed the little bees to start working.

The little bee squatted on his shoulder and scanned and recorded all the task lists that came into view.

After scanning and comparison, it was found that most of the replaced orders were orders for first-level monsters with relatively low risk, as well as orders for collecting medicinal herbs.

"Hmm?" Xie Yunsui noticed a strange task.

"5 silver coins for an apple, and the apple must pass an energy test?"

He walked to the guild's service desk and, as expected, found quite a few adventurers asking about the 5-silver apple.

"Is it really 5 silver coins per apple?"

"Yes." The union manager's tone remained gentle.

"Is this apple of mine okay?"

Someone took out a big, juicy, red apple.

The steward took out a gem ring, touched the apple, and then said, "Sorry, this apple has no energy reaction. It's not the apple we need."

Someone else immediately took out an apple.

"What about mine?"

"Can you see what I'm doing?"

"I still have some!"

An adventurer in a black robe watched for a long time, then strode out.

Xie Yunsui pondered for a long time and felt that he should also take an apple to try it.

Who cares? If it doesn’t work, I’ll just eat it myself. If it does, I’ll make some free money.

The union manager kept testing Apple's energy, maintaining a peaceful smile on the surface, but in fact he was roaring wildly in his heart.

I already told you that it wasn't true, so why did you send the apples over?

You obviously bought the same batch. If this one doesn't work, then that one will work?

I have just tested this dried apple. Don’t think I didn’t see it clearly!

After everyone had their turn, someone finally gave up and left with the apple. Some people still insisted, suspecting that there was something wrong with the gem ring being tested.

These people are called adventurers, but in fact they are just ordinary people who have just registered.

He was counting on making a fortune by selling an apple for 5 silver coins.

"Hello, can I have this apple?"

A warm and clear voice came, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Black hair? Never seen him before? Which village is he from?

The apple in his hand...

Tsk, it’s not as beautiful as mine!

When the manager saw Xie Yunsui's smile, his slightly irritable mood was immediately soothed by the beauty. Who doesn't like good-looking people?

However, he also didn't think that the apple in the adventurer's hand could detect energy reactions.

In fact, he has not seen an apple with energy reaction since the list was posted.

If the trainee pharmacist hadn't sworn in and ensured that such an apple really existed, he would have thought it was a prank in the pharmacy.

The jewel ring, which gave no hope, touched the apple in his hand, and the next second, the jewel began to glow.

On the screen connected to the gem ring, a prompt popped up instantly:

[Magic: 10

Evaluation: Pure Energy]

Manager: Found it!

He smiled and said, "This is the apple we need."

"What?"

The people nearby looked at him in disbelief, looking at the apple from left to right. It was very ordinary. Compared with their apples, no one would choose it as a priority at the market.

The manager said, "His apples have energy reactions, so they are the apples needed for the mission. We won't accept other apples that don't have energy reactions."

After hearing that his apple was useful, Xie Yunsui went to accept the task order.

After carefully checking that there was no quantity limit, he asked, "How many apples do you need?"

The steward recalled the trainee pharmacist's words: "The more the better!"

He remembered that the man was an apprentice pharmacist at Dolores' Pharmacy, and he always ran errands for Lady Dolores, purchasing some herbs and materials.

Since Dolores wanted it, and the more the better, the steward said loudly, "Take as much as you can!"

Xie Yunsui slowly smiled: "Really?"

An hour later, Xie Yunsui walked out of the Adventurer's Guild with 23 gold from selling the unicorn bear and 1,500 gold from selling apples.

The union manager looked at the baskets of apples covering the entire union hall and sent someone to Dolores Pharmacy to inform them, "We've received the apples. Please come pick them up early."

Xie Yunsui looked at the more than 20,000 apples left in the warehouse and thought it was a pity. It was a pity that the Adventurer's Guild did not have that much working capital. No matter how much more, it could not pay the bounty, otherwise he would not have kept a single apple.

Dolores, who received the news afterwards, came to the Adventurer's Guild in person. Looking at the apples on the ground, her usually calm face cracked slightly.

“…”

"All of these?"

The union manager raised his numb arm and said hoarsely, "Every one of them has been tested."

He couldn't tell with his naked eyes, so he had to rely on energy detection rings.

However, Dolores could use her magical sensing to determine that the apples on the ground contained pure energy.

Oh, the apples in the arms of those ordinary people in the corner don’t count.

Dolores didn't expect there were so many apples, and her hands trembled slightly when she paid.

1500 gold, how many potions do I need to make...

Dolores likes to buy medicinal herbs and ingredients on weekdays. She spends a lot of money and can't pay the bills for a while.

Looking at the apples all over the ground, although they are all good materials with pure energy, 30,000 of them are too many, and they cannot be used up even if you work overtime.

Suddenly, she thought of her teacher Angelica who was far away in the royal capital.

As the most popular senior pharmacist in the Royal Capital Pharmacist College, he has a group of hungry students under him.

I guess... such medicinal materials are really needed, right?

Dolores raised her eyes and issued a task: "I need someone to help me deliver 25,000 apples to Professor Angelica of the Pharmacist College in the capital."

There was a gleam in her eyes.

This apple... no, this alchemy material was something she had found with great difficulty. It's not too much to charge the teacher 6 silver coins for one, right?

After successfully transferring the bill to the wealthy teacher, Dolores returned to the pharmacy with the remaining 5,000 apples, eager to use these ingredients to make medicine.

Xie Yunsui took the money from selling apples and went to the market to buy more apples.

In order to make their products look good, the shop owners at the market only picked large, juicy fruits, and kept the small ones at home to make jam or apple pie.

Xie Yunsui bought these apples for himself.

For a while, the apple market was booming, and many shop owners raised their prices, which made the fruit farmers very rich.

After Xie Yunsui finished buying this batch, he stopped and took the money to the grocery store to purchase a large number of seeds and fruit tree seedlings, a set of pharmacist's equipment for making medicine, other miscellaneous goods, and also bought a carriage of his own.

Before leaving, Xie Yunsui went to Dolores Pharmacy, the most famous pharmacy in Klein.

The lights in the shop were bright, illuminating the exquisite glass bottles of medicine on the shelves on both sides.

These potion bottles are of different shapes and the potions inside are of different colors. Looking at the prices, the lowest one is 10 silver coins.

A trainee pharmacist came forward and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what medicine do you need? Or what injury did the patient suffer?"

Xie Yunsui pointed to a red, teardrop-shaped potion bottle and asked, "What kind of potion is this?"

"This is a blood-replenishing potion. Adventurers who are seriously injured and bleeding can use one or two. If you take it carelessly on a normal day, you'll get a nosebleed."

Blood Replenishing Potion is a basic potion that costs 12 silver coins.

Xie Yunsui moved his feet, but before he could ask, the trainee pharmacist started to introduce.

"This is an energy potion. You can take one when you're low on energy or need to stay energetic for a long time. It's important to note that if you don't expend a lot of energy after taking it, you'll suffer from insomnia."

Energy Potion, priced at 10 silver coins.

"This is a recovery potion, and this is a warming potion..."

Xie Yunsui seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

Potions that increase strength, potions that make the user's thoughts clearer, potions that maintain appearance, potions that make hair thicker...

Of course, there are also exorcism potions to remove the violent energy left on the body by the monsters.

The price is 3 gold coins. There is only a row of potion racks on the shelf, and the racks are empty.

Each potion rack can hold up to ten potions. Some potions are full, while others only have two or three left.

Xie Yunsui wrote down some of the most popular potions and said to the clerk, "Blood-boosting potion, recovery potion, beauty potion, hair-growth potion... take one of each, seven energy potions, and ten intelligence-enhancing potions."

The trainee pharmacist widened his eyes slightly: What an arrogant customer!

She immediately put on gloves, took the potion the customer requested, and heartfeltly recommended a backpack on the shelf. "This is a space backpack developed by Angelia, the most renowned pharmacist in the capital. It's engraved with symbols for expansion, weight reduction, and theft prevention. It's on sale now, and you can take it away for only 50 gold coins."

There are three types of bags on the shelf, a pink women's handbag, a blue and white college backpack, and a red and black single-compartment crossbody chest bag.

Each backpack is inlaid with three small gemstones, and the gemstones on the three bags are the same color.

Recalling the gem ring in the hands of the Adventurer's Guild manager, Xie Yunsui intuitively felt that this gem was not as simple as he thought.

He asked, "Is this gem the seal?"

"Of course, this is made from the magic crystals found in magical beasts. The process is very complicated and only high-level pharmacists can make it."

So, Xie Yunsui said, "I want them all."

Haha, only 50 gold each.

The trainee pharmacist held her breath, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing her valued customers.

After paying the bills, he only spent 300 gold, and Xie Yunsui still had 1,000 gold in savings.

It had been a long time since I had spent money so happily. Xie Yunsui went out with a blue and white backpack, feeling very happy.

Next, where should I spend my money?
