Chapter 249 [Time Can Always Be Finded If You Squeeze It In]
After appeasing Tu Lan, Yu Xunge contacted Zhao Shuying.
She finally succeeded in creating a low-cost version of [Melting Time]. The herbs used were completely different from those in [Melting Time], but most of the ingredients were the same. Many steps were also simplified, and the final product could only be considered a basic potion, but it was more than enough for the current players on Earth.
[Yu Xun Ge]: [Time Will Always Come If You Squeeze In] After use, all player skills will have their cooldown time reduced by 30 minutes, with a current cooldown time of 10 minutes.
[Zhao Shuying]: Miss, please name your price! How much per bottle?
[Yu Xunge]: This recipe is one I developed. I can sell the recipe to you directly, but it's a bit complicated. Although it's only a basic potion, there are three steps that cannot be done by machines or by alchemists. The herbal ingredients cost around 50 silver coins. You can also send people to collect them from dungeons; they are all low-level dungeons below level 10.
[Zhao Shuying]: The price we're offering is to directly settle the 1200 gold coins you owed for buying [The Big World, The Little Me]. If it's for the Special Affairs Bureau's own use, we'll give you 1 copper coin for every bottle the Special Affairs Bureau produces. If we're selling it, we'll give you 5% of the profit for every bottle sold. This is our Special Affairs Bureau's sincerity. Is that okay?
[Yu Xun Ge]: Okay
The Special Affairs Bureau, already accustomed to Yu Xunge's style, offered the most sincere price. Whether it was due to guidance from a master or finally getting to know Yu Xunge's personality, the more generous you are to her, the less she will say on the surface, but she will definitely think of you next time she has something good to "repay" you for your kindness.
Yu Xunge was indeed very satisfied with the price. What she was most satisfied with was that Zhao Shuying offered two profit-sharing methods: one for the Special Affairs Bureau to use itself and the other for sale.
She could accept receiving a smaller reward if the Special Affairs Bureau used the potion to clear instances and maintain stability. However, she would definitely be unhappy if the Special Affairs Bureau used it to make money, even if the money was ultimately used for the Bureau's development; the nature of the money would be different.
Zhao Shuying's proposed profit-sharing method perfectly solved this problem. Although 1 copper coin seems pitifully small, with an official organization like the Special Affairs Bureau that can mobilize various resources, it's no different for her than having a money-printing machine.
Even though the consumption of this potion cannot be compared with that of basic healing potions, the Special Affairs Bureau and various forces all need to clear high-level dungeons, so the consumption of this level of potion is absolutely staggering. At least every important player will be equipped with more than three bottles.
She gets 1 gold coin for every 10,000 bottles produced. How many people are there in all of China?
Yu Xunge took out his phone calculator and started dreaming.
In less than an hour, Zhao Shuying arrived via a teleportation portal, canceled the IOU, signed a game contract with her, affixed the Special Affairs Bureau's official seal, and, as requested by Yu Xunge, even included in the contract the clause that the monthly profit share would be sent directly to her email address.
After signing the contract, Yu Xunge followed Zhao Shuying to the Alchemy Branch of the Special Affairs Bureau, where two hundred intermediate alchemists were already waiting for her to attend class.
Upon arrival, Yu Xunge went straight to the point, without even a word of self-introduction. She walked up to the podium, quickly wrote down the recipe, and began explaining the processing methods for each herb. She generously shared the knowledge that "time can always be found if you squeeze it in," and then spent half an hour answering questions before leaving.
Money isn't so easy to get. For the next period of time, she will have to teach alchemists for an hour every day. Intermediate alchemists from all over the country will also come to teach during this period until at least 500 alchemists can successfully create [Time can always be found]. Only then will this transaction be over.
Perhaps influenced by Rukia, Yu Xunge would answer even questions that had nothing to do with the idea that "time can always be found if you squeeze it in."
These people weren't asking random questions; many of their questions were the same ones that most intermediate alchemists encountered when they hit a bottleneck, and Yu Xunge would do her best to answer them.
When Zhao Shuying saw Yu Xunge off, he gave her a large bundle of arrows made by the Special Affairs Bureau. Yu Xunge had been using arrows for a long time, and she could tell at a glance that this bundle contained about 1,000 arrows. She randomly picked one out and looked at the arrowhead. It was much better than the ones sold in the Zelan Weapon Shop for one silver coin per bundle. In fact, every single one of them was white-grade.
[Sharp Arrow] (Common): Attack +1
Yu Xunge accepted it without hesitation. After taking Tu Lan home, she left the child at home and went out alone.
Now that I've finished dealing with all the urgent matters at hand, it's time to learn how to play mahjong, otherwise I'll be completely clueless even when I get my hands on a set.
Although the chaos at the end of September was suppressed by the Special Affairs Bureau through a combination of soft and hard tactics, Dinghai was established on October 1st, which completely suppressed the ulterior motives of many people.
But this incident still affected many people. Many people poured their life savings into the game, either to buy equipment and items or to rent private dungeons and hire people to help them level up.
This has led to a significant decline in the entertainment industry, while places like martial arts schools, gyms, and weapon shops are becoming increasingly bustling.
Yu Xunge searched for a long time before finding an entertainment room. Once inside, she discovered that it seemed to be the territory of the "Nameless Man," as there were many IDs there that she had seen in the news about Hei Fei's massacre in her previous life.
When Yu Xunge asked to learn mahjong, the proprietress led her directly to the only table in the establishment that was missing one player: "Look, if you want to learn, they are the only ones willing to spend time teaching you at this time, but there's no money to be made here."
Yu Xunge took off her mask and sunglasses as a sign of politeness. Before she could even ask how much money she wanted for tuition, the two aunties at the table had already reached out and pressed her down onto a chair, starting to shuffle the cards while explaining the rules to her.
To win, you generally have 14 cards. Two cards must be a pair of identical cards, and the remaining 12 cards can be divided into four groups of three cards each. These three cards must either be the same or form a sequence...
What is a "kong" (杠), what is a "kong on a flower" (杠上花), what is a "pure suit" (清一色)...?
Yu Xunge listened attentively until he heard "all one color".
"The suits must all be the same, either circles, characters, or bamboo. White tiles and red dragon tiles are not acceptable!"
Um?
ah……
Thinking back to when Mistblade got 40,000, his face was filled with frustration...
Mist Blade… Could she be… trying to get… an all-one hand?
Haha, it sounds a bit like the airplane in Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Yu Xunge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Um, Aunt Wang, may I ask... what would happen if, I mean, if Qingyise were interrupted?"
She tried to give an example: "Yesterday, my mom and the others were playing cards when the power went out halfway through. Everyone temporarily left the game, leaving the table untouched until tomorrow. But when I was practicing my skills, I accidentally destroyed one of her cards. I didn't notice at the time and just randomly picked one from the table to replace it. Now that I think about it, it seems to be different from all her other cards..."
