"Why are you so late? Have the test results come back yet?"
In a corner of the restaurant, Xin Sui placed the tray on the table and asked Mu Feier.
Mufier quickly took out the food and placed it in front of her.
“It came out a while ago. Your whale amber is real. I also wanted to buy it sooner, but I didn’t have any money. I’ve been trying to find someone to help me raise the funds.”
Xin Sui: Uh, what a true reason.
Her piece of whale amber must weigh at least two or three kilograms, and at the current market price, it would cost at least two million.
There aren't many people who can come up with two million in cash all at once.
Why would Mufier, the president of the Pharmacist Association, be broke?
That's because making medicine is too expensive.
When making medicine, one can easily fail, and if one fails, all the medicinal materials used will be wasted.
The money spent will also be wasted.
As for a new drug, such as the mental energy potion she is currently researching, the initial investment is huge before it is fully developed, and there is basically no return in sight.
No matter how much savings she has, it won't last long.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be taking on advertising jobs to earn extra money.
In fact, if Mu Feier were willing to follow the rules and produce some popular medicines to sell, she wouldn't be short of money.
But she was not one to be content with the status quo and always wanted to develop a new drug that was not available on the market through her own efforts.
Which alchemist wouldn't want to develop a new medicine to prove themselves?
After finishing the satisfying meal, Mu Feier wiped her mouth and asked, "We don't think we've added each other on social media yet, have we?"
He then took out a crystal card and touched it to Xin Sui.
Xin Sui took out the whale amber and said, "Weigh it and see how much it weighs."
Alchemists inevitably deal with medicinal herbs, so they naturally need to carry weighing tools with them.
Mufier took out an ice-blue scale, only the size of a plate, which looked a lot like a weighing scale.
She gently placed the whale amber on it.
Strangely, the amber, which was originally larger than the scale, appeared much smaller when placed on it, automatically adapting to the size of the scale.
Xin Sui was already used to this; this scale must be a mysterious artifact, inscribed with spatial runes.
In this way, objects of any size and weight can be easily placed on it for weighing.
The scale clearly showed the weight of the whale amber: 2864.65g.
Mu Fei'er said with a mixture of joy and sorrow, "Based on the current market price of 800-1000 crystal coins per gram of whale amber, the price of this piece of whale amber is between 2,291,720 and 2,864,650 yuan. Am I right?"
She used the calculator on the coin to calculate the number.
Xin Sui asked the system, and the system confirmed that there was nothing wrong.
He nodded.
"Considering our friendship, I'll compromise on the price. How about you give me 2.5 million crystal coins?"
Mu Fei'er is an alchemist, and her special ability is to detect lies. She felt that she might be in trouble with her in the future.
Rather than having to ask for favors later, it's better to charge less now and do her a favor.
Mu Feier held Xin Sui's hand with a look of deep emotion.
"I've decided to be your friend! 2.5 million, that's the fairest price imaginable, but..."
When Xin Sui heard her use the word "only," she knew that a turning point was coming.
As expected, Mu Feier sighed, her expression a mixture of difficulty and embarrassment.
"I borrowed from everyone I could, but I only managed to raise 2 million."
"The remaining 500,000, Shirley, do you think I can pay it in another way?"
"For example, if you ever want to test whether someone is telling you the truth, just come to me, and I'll use my superpowers to test them for you, how about that?"
Mufier's request was exactly what Xin Sui wanted.
She had already agreed in her heart, but pretended to be pondering on the surface.
Seeing this, Mu Feier raised her stakes: "Three times? How about that? I usually don't even bother with people who ask me for help."
Xin Sui: "Okay, it's settled then."
Mu Feier smiled with relief and happily put the whale amber into her spatial earring.
She got such a large and high-quality whale amber for only 2 million yuan, she made a huge profit!
This piece will last her a long time.
Maybe I can hold on until the day I develop a potion to boost my mental strength!
Taking the opportunity, Xin Sui made a request: "If you really develop a mental energy potion in the future, could you sell it to me first?"
Mufier readily agreed: "No problem."
It doesn't matter who I sell to.
The customer in front of me is quite a big spender.
Besides, given her relationship with Xuan Tu, shouldn't I be on good terms with her?
If the medicine is actually developed in the future, we might have to go through her to get market approval from Xuan Tu.
In this City of Light, what potions can be sold is entirely up to the city lord, Xuan Tu.
Otherwise, even if she developed the medicine, it would be useless.
"I have to rush back to do my experiment, so I won't disturb your work any longer. Contact Jingka if you need anything."
Mu Feier stood up and said in a hurry.
"Okay." Xin Sui nodded and watched her leave.
night.
Xin Sui arrived at Xuan Tu's room with practiced ease.
Send him today's cake.
If she gives him a cake, his "darkening value" might not necessarily decrease, but if she doesn't, she can just wait for it to rise.
As for why they always deliver at night—
On a dark and windy night, with a lone man and woman, was she harboring some ulterior motive?
Of course not.
The reason for delivering it at night was to avoid Xiaoming, that little devil.
