Chapter 425 Daily Life at the Alchemy Shop
After Yu Xunge finished explaining the gameplay, he noticed that the undead and the dragon on the table were looking at him with expressions as if they had seen a demon.
What happened?! Considering Hufflepuff's reputation, she has already toned it down. If it were the wine before the game invasion, the price of this blind box could have doubled.
Yu Xunge cleared his throat awkwardly: "This is just a tiny, insignificant marketing tactic... Aren't the Wind Scythe Clan of Zhelan supposed to be good at business? Don't they do this?"
Hufflepuff and Machi shook their heads slowly in unison.
Little Machi: "They still have a conscience and a bottom line."
Yu Xun Ge: ? ? ?
Hedgehoga downed the drink in his glass and slammed it down on the table. "But I didn't! I did it anyway!"
After saying that, she patted Yu Xunge's shoulder twice: "Not bad! Little Hufflepuff, you're very good! I'll leave this matter to you!"
Little Hechpa Yu Xun Ge: "...This isn't good." What if she gets found out...and she's so busy.
Hufflepuff: "You teach Little Machi, and once she gets the hang of it, I'll teach you how to make [Skill I Don't Like II]. Little Machi, you too, but you have to start with the first version first!"
Yu Xunge's expression turned serious as she filled Hufflepuff's glass with wine: "But then again, teacher, I have another brilliant idea..." If things go wrong, she'll run away!
Little Machi & Tulan: ...
During the meal, Yu Xunge specifically asked Hufflepuff if he knew anything about other worlds, including their customs, civilizations, and even gossip.
Although Hedgehog didn't know any of this, she pointed Yu Xunge in the right direction:
"You can go to Mistblade Moon Queen. She knows more. She used to tell us interesting stories when she occasionally taught us, but I only found out when I was studying abroad that those stories were not from Ze Lan. Later, after Sen Hai joined Ze Lan, I even went to investigate, and they were not from Oak Owl's side either."
Yu Xunge thanked him, but he hesitated in his heart about this choice.
She knew that Mistblade had guessed she had Moon Sand, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to trade Moon Sand with her in the Little Painter's Game. Now that she had come to Mistblade's door to trade, she was practically handing over the initiative. Mistblade would definitely take the opportunity to trade Moon Sand...
Yu Xunge: "Teacher, have you figured out the function of the Moon Sand?"
Hedgehog: "The new potion is, well, the wine made from moon sand is their main ingredient."
Is it really that profitable? Yu Xunge's breath hitched: "Then if we use moon sand directly as the material, wouldn't that be..."
Hechpa watched Yu Xunge quietly.
Yu Xunge made a decision almost immediately: the sand had to be given this month, and she had to give it to them voluntarily.
Just considering her relationship with Hufflepuff, she couldn't just enjoy the benefits without paying a price. Since they met, she had received so much help from Hufflepuff, whether it was teaching or occasional reminders.
It's one thing that she can't fully trust Hedgehog, but that doesn't conflict with her repaying Hedgehog's kindness.
Not to mention that Hufflepuff just offered to teach her "I Don't Like This Skill II". You should know that she and Hufflepuff have a formal mentor-apprentice relationship. She can sell this potion without giving Hufflepuff a share of the profits.
Since you've decided to give, you must give it gracefully.
Yu Xunge glanced around furtively: "Is 500 grams enough?"
Hufflepuff sat up in delight. Good heavens, the apprentice had struck gold! She said expectantly, "Give me some more."
Yu Xunge: "1000 grams of Moon Sand! I'm happy to have a new teacher."
Hufflepuff's expression twisted; he was clearly disgusted.
Yu Xunge said, "Teacher, wait a moment. The place I'm hiding is safer." He then ran to the kitchen and returned a minute later, giving Hedgehog 1000g of Moon Sand.
Hedgehoga put the Moon Sand away with satisfaction. She didn't make any specific promises, but simply said, "You won't regret your decision."
Yu Xunge smiled and said, "Only going against your conscience will lead to regret. I will not regret giving Yue Sha to my teacher."
This is what she truly felt.
Yu Xunge didn't rest either; she stayed at the shop and worked with Tu Lan to make small wooden boxes that could shield against detection skills.
It was Hedgehog who found them the advanced engineering formula.
This level of recipe cannot perfectly isolate all detection, but it can make the wooden box self-destruct after recognizing a detection skill.
Tu Lan is the main force, while Yu Xunge can only help out by polishing some parts.
The two of them made this blind box, and Little Machi was in charge of filling it with the brewed medicine.
Yu Xunge spent three extremely busy yet peaceful days. During this time, she still sent a letter to Mist Blade Moon Emperor, proposing that she wanted to purchase information about other worlds.
She had actually thought about maple syrup. Since maple syrup could catch autumn bears, she must have a way to go to other worlds.
Unfortunately, Maple Sugar has to deal with both her sister-in-law and Maple Flame, not to mention a whole bunch of people. She also doesn't know what Maple Sugar really wants. Maybe Maple Sugar will take the opportunity to trick her and see if she has taken all the Moon Sand from [Fate is Unpredictable].
In comparison, it's better to be a lone wolf like Fogblade.
But to her surprise, after receiving the letter, Mistblade actually came over in person!
She sat down next to Hufflepuff, who was brewing potions, and stared intently at Wind Scythe, who was half a head shorter than Machi.
Many customers were startled by the appearance of Mistblade Moon Emperor, but instead of leaving, they kept going in and out of the alchemy shop to buy blind boxes. More and more people came, taking the opportunity to peek at Mistblade Moon Emperor while buying blind boxes.
Fogblade has the most followers and admirers, not only because she is beautiful and strong and was the previous dean of the Princeton Alchemy School, but also because she almost never kills ordinary people for the slightest "disrespect".
She once said in class that it is a very rude and barbaric act to take action against a weaker person whose strength is far inferior to hers.
Well, if Yu Xunge knew about this, she'd probably be furious. She'd heard from Little Machi that Mist Blade had inexplicably attacked a goblin on the street before...
Judging from the timing and Yu Xunge's inquiry about "Moonlit Nocturne," that goblin was most likely Yu Xunge in disguise.
Hedgehog secretly decided that he would tell her about Fogblade’s nonsense after the shop closed that night.
Seeing the guests coming and going, Hufflepuff sincerely said to Mistblade, "Thank you."
Mist Blade: "Your apprentice tricked me in the last deal. Only blood can quell my anger!"
Hufflepuff slowly poured the potion into the glass bottle: "Didn't you promise her you wouldn't cause her any more trouble over that thing?"
Mistblade stared at Hedgehog: "Do I, the Moon Emperor, need to reason with you?"
Hedgehog said, "That's not very reasonable."
Hedgehog wasn't worried at all that Fogblade might suddenly kill Yu Xunge, because she not only understood Fogblade, but she also understood Yu Xunge very well.
