Chapter 763 The Gods' Game: Card Swapping 7
After smiling and saying "Please wait a moment" to the hunter, Yu Xunge turned her back, waved to her two friends, and the three little heads huddled together in a circle.
Yu Xunge whispered, "We can go to the herbal medicine shop and buy herbs directly to make potions, even if we earn less."
Fat Goose and Mist Blade: "Okay."
After agreeing on the terms, the three children turned to the hunter and said, "We'll deliver the goods tomorrow, as long as you give us an 80-gold-coin deposit today."
The hunter did not readily agree to the price. After some bargaining, the price was finally settled at 135 gold coins, with a deposit of 60 gold coins to be paid first.
This attitude completely eliminated the last bit of wariness in the three children's hearts.
Only hunters who truly want to buy potions would do that.
After agreeing to meet at the gem shop at this time tomorrow to exchange potions and pay the remaining balance, they parted ways with the treasure hunter, bought the materials as quickly as possible, and ran out of the city.
On the way, Yu Xunge said to Wu Ren, "You'll be in charge of brewing the basic strength potion by yourself later, okay?"
Wu Ren nodded vigorously, a bright smile on her face. Yu Xunge then noticed that she actually had a pair of canine teeth, but she must have been losing her baby teeth and was missing several. This made her composure and steadiness, which she had always pretended to be, disappear, and she looked extremely cute.
Fat Goose: "What about me?! Can I help?"
The three kids returned to the base, chatting and laughing.
At the age of 10, he has already begun to try to build his own business empire.
Yu Xunge decided to record this incident in her memoir, to be included when she travels back in time... or when she achieves great success and writes her memoir in the future.
The crucibles had just been set up on the riverbank.
A figure appeared on the riverbank.
The three cubs were startled. After seeing who it was, they breathed a slight sigh of relief, but then an even greater panic ensued.
It's that treasure hunter!
Why did she come along?
The hunter stood with his arms crossed, watching with great interest the unease and wariness on the faces of the three children.
These three children were indeed clever. It was precisely because she noticed their intelligence and alertness that she went to the trouble of lowering their guard, fearing that if she alerted them, they would realize something was wrong and be unwilling to leave the orderly town protected by soldiers.
It's a pity; he's smart, but lacks experience.
Whether it's the red soil on their clothes that can only be found in the Kara Mountains and the water plants that can only be found on the riverbanks, or their repeated claims that their teachers, who did not want to reveal their names, sent them out to gain experience, all of these are full of flaws.
Looking at the children brewing potions in front of two cauldrons, I see Moon Fox and... Oak Owl?
These two can be sold on the black market as alchemy apprentices, laborers who can brew basic potions. They are worth 800 gold coins each, and since their race is rare, the price can double.
As for that Candle Barbarian who sorts herbs, he possesses the magical ability to turn expired food into magical food... he should be able to sell it for a good price...
While the treasure hunters were examining the goods, Yu Xunge and the others began to retreat together. She slipped two bottles of magic potions—basic flight potions—into the hands of her two companions behind her back.
A magical potion that allows people to fly briefly for 2 minutes.
She whispered, "Drink this and run with me."
She spoke vaguely, but Wu Ren and Fei E, who already knew that Yu Xunge could brew more than two kinds of magic potions in the past few days, immediately guessed what kind of magic potion it was.
She slowly drew her longsword each day, never letting her guard down, even when facing cubs.
With a shout of "Run!" from the little oak owl, Little Moon Fox and Little Candle pulled out a bottle of magic potion from behind their backs and drank it.
Basic flight potion?!
Every day, I think to myself, the cub that knows how to make this must be sold for 2000 gold coins!
She slammed her sword into the ground, and in an instant, five invisible barriers appeared in front of, behind, to the left and right of them, as well as above them.
Yu Xunge, pulling along the newly-flying Mist Blade and the fat goose, crashed headfirst into the transparent barrier and was bounced back.
The heavy boots landed, and an invisible suction force came from the ground, pulling the three cubs, who were flying backwards in the air, to the ground.
The treasure hunter appeared before them in the blink of an eye, his longsword swinging out. To their horror, the sword suddenly spun, hilt facing forward, and with just the right amount of force, struck each of their tailbone.
A clear cracking sound rang out, and their lower bodies instantly lost sensation.
Immediately afterwards, the blade sliced across their wrists, severing the tendons in both hands.
Yu Xunge, Wu Ren, and Fei E all cried out in pain, but the sound was extremely brief, and they all swallowed their cries back.
Even the most crybaby fat geese didn't squawk; they simply stared at the treasure hunter with hateful eyes, memorizing her face.
These injuries are all treatable, but they are enough to render them immobile.
After confirming that all three cubs were incapacitated, Zhu Ri used his longsword to move all their backpacks aside before finally relaxing a little.
She walked to the backpacks and used a sharp blade to cut them open, scattering the potions and magical food inside all over the ground.
The heavy boots stepped over the pebbles on the riverbank and stopped at a place that seemed no different from the surroundings. With a light swing of the longsword, a layer of pebbles was knocked away, revealing the potions and magical food buried underneath.
She chuckled a few times and said with a light laugh, "What a pity, I seem to have seen some kind of bright future."
This place is really nice; hardly anyone comes here.
A longsword, taller than the three cubs, was stuck in the ground. She clasped her hands together, lazily resting them on the hilt, and looked down at the three cubs, beginning her interrogation: "Can you turn food into magical food?"
No one spoke.
With a light swing of the longsword, each of the three had a sword wound on their bodies.
These were three highly skillful sword strikes, not fatal, and the wounds were not deep, but extremely painful.
The fat goose buried its face in the ground, not wanting its tears to be seen.
Yu Xunge and Wu Ren huddled together, gritting their teeth, their mouths pursed like those of two old women.
"Please, please, please!" The treasure hunter looked disgusted. The slight admiration she had felt for the three cubs' cleverness and cunning vanished instantly, and she slapped her hand over her eyes with a "smack".
She said impatiently, "That's just how the world is. Don't act like I'm some kind of big bad guy, okay?"
"Do you expect to encounter only good people after you've revealed your worth?"
"Do you know how many guys have been eyeing you after you wandered around Caladom with potions and magical food?"
"I even spent 2 gold coins to buy your information."
She rambled on irritably, as if instructing them, or perhaps talking to herself. With each word she spoke, three sword blades would strike the three cubs; she was truly angry.
"What you should be doing right now is not showing how strong you are; you're just indulging yourselves in self-pity."
"Besides being able to comfort myself when I think back on this moment in the future, saying, 'Oh my god, I was so amazing back then,' what other use is it?"
"Even if it's just to lull me into a false sense of security, it's better than what I am now."
"Do you know what to do when you're in a desperate situation? Cast aside all emotions, whether base or noble, and focus on solving the problem."
"Either you devise a strategy to rebel against me and kill me, or you find a way to demonstrate your value and persuade me not to sell you out."
"Little ones, stop your self-indulgent performance! Don't test my patience."
