Chapter 52: Xia Ni Earns Tuition Fees (Page 1/2)
"Hey! Little girl, how many herbs on this list do you have?"
Hearing Frank's voice, the red-haired girl put down the book in her hand, raised her head and looked at Frank.
Her pretty face did not show the timidity or shyness when facing strangers, but a mature calmness and restraint.
The girl first looked at his appearance, then stayed on Frank's demon hunter pupils for a few seconds, then reached out to take the herb list and said:
"Sir."
"White clover, moon rose, white rose petals, I still have them here."
"But the other herbs are sold out. If you want them, you can only wait until tomorrow afternoon and come to buy them from me."
Frank nodded, then squatted down and began to check the quality of the herbs.
Although ordinary demon hunters can also go to the wild to find herbs like in the game.
However, unlike the situation in the game where all the herbs are marked for the convenience of players, it is difficult for ordinary demon hunters to find the herbs they want in the vast wilderness unless they are extremely experienced old demon hunters. Even
if they can find them, they have to spend a lot of time and energy to process the herbs.
Every profession has its own expertise. This is a very complicated job. It is not like in the game, where you can just press a button and it will be completed.
For Frank, it is better to buy from a professional herbal merchant than to spend that effort.
The time saved, whether it is practicing swordsmanship and magic seals or executing other commissions, is more cost-effective than looking for herbs.
Moreover, Professor Connors' commission is not urgent. The old man only asks to complete this wish before he dies, and the two parties have no regulations on when it must be completed.
What's more, he has asked his connections to find a professional armorer and plans to make himself a set of Viper School demon hunter armor before executing the castle commission.
It's better to be careful. Only those who can survive can live longer.
Anyway, after getting the castle's title deed, he wouldn't need to spend so much money to buy real estate for the time being.
It would be safer to use the money to strengthen his own strength first.
After fiddling with the little girl's herb basket for a few times and observing her, Frank began to praise her:
"Are you a medical student?"
"Your herbs are of very good quality, and your picking technique is very professional."
"How about this, if your herbs can guarantee this quality in the future, I will order a batch of herbs from you every month."
"By the way, little girl, do you grow these herbs yourself?"
"If possible, can you help me grow a few other herbs?"
"I'll charge you according to the market price and won't let you suffer a loss."
Hearing this, the little girl lowered her head and thought for a while before saying:
"I'm sorry, sir."
"Although most of the herbs are grown by myself, some of them must grow in a specific external environment and are difficult to grow in a medicine garden."
"And some herbs have a long growth cycle, so it is quite difficult to provide them on a regular basis."
"I have to see your complete list to determine whether I can provide all the herbs."
"By the way, I'm Xia Ni, a sophomore in the medical department."
"The reason I came here to sell herbs is to raise money for my tuition in the college."
"So even if you buy in bulk, I can't give you a bigger discount."
