Chapter 33 Water Cloud Lotus Seed
For the next two days, Gu Nian was focused on making and selling medicine. Every time she went to and from the camp, she could see the incinerator next to the official recycling point, spewing thick smoke day and night, and the flames lit up the sky, burning the bodies of mutant rats. Gu Nian also silently observed the rat hunting teams coming and going, and the number of mutant rats they brought back to the camp was getting fewer and fewer.
Now, when they heard that mutant rats had appeared in a certain direction in the wilderness, a large group of people immediately rushed over, fearing that they would miss the rat hunt if they were late. At this rate, it was difficult to determine how many days the rat hunt could last. Gu Nian worked overtime to earn contribution points.
After working so hard, on the seventh day of the rat hunting operation, Gu Nian finally accumulated nearly 70,000 contribution points. This can be said to be a huge fortune. The wealth of many teams of dozens of evolved people, even if the entire team's wealth is added together, is not as rich as Gu Nian's.
This contribution was enough for Gu Nian to exchange for a set of dungeon housing certificates. It was still far from enough to exchange for a folding space box, but it was also a small goal achieved.
The blood-clotting cream was sold out immediately. Gu Nian put away the plastic sheet used for the stall, picked up Lianhua who was squatting beside her, and planned to leave the camp. When she passed by Wan's Company, she paused.
"I'll go back and look for it, maybe I can find Shuiyun lotus seeds there." Lin Qi's words suddenly popped up in Gu Nian's mind.
Gu Nian changed direction and entered Wan's Trading Company.
As soon as Gu Nian came in, the assistant who was following Lin Qi saw her and immediately came over to greet her, "Ms. Gu, are you here to see Manager Lin?"
Gu Nian nodded. The assistant smiled even more enthusiastically, respectfully invited her to sit inside, and made a pot of hot tea. This was a rare thing nowadays, so the assistant asked her to wait for a moment while he went to ask Manager Lin to come over.
Not long after, Lin Qi came over. She looked surprised and said, "Long time no see, Ms. Gu. I was just thinking about looking for you."
"Manager Lin." Gu Nian nodded at her and said hello, "I want to ask, about the Shuiyun lotus seeds that I asked you to find last time, do you have any clues?"
Lin Qi smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, as soon as I came back, I had someone turn the warehouse upside down. I was really lucky and found a few lotus seeds. Why don't I show them to you?"
"Thank you." Gu Nian said.
Lin Qi gave an order, and soon someone pushed a small refrigerator in. "In order to better preserve the materials, we at Wanshi try to restore the original living environment of the mutant plants to store the materials." Lin Qi explained.
She opened the refrigerator and carefully took out a metal box. After turning the combination lock, a dozen lotus seeds appeared inside.
The lotus seeds looked tender and juicy, as transparent and chewy as jelly, and were surrounded by misty water vapor. It was obvious that they were extremely rare mutant plant materials.
Lin Qi said, "We got this lotus seed from a team of evolved humans. Their team encountered a winged mutant tiger beast and was chased all the way to the depths of the wilderness. Almost half of them died on the way. If it weren't for the other mutant beasts who were afraid of the mutant tiger beast's aura, I'm afraid even more people would have died on the way back. As a result, almost half of them died on the way back. Of the team of thirty evolved humans, only one person came back, and he brought back this lotus seed."
"What was the situation with the lotus seeds at that time?" Gu Nian asked.
"Because of the mutant tiger beast chasing them, the team fled all the way to a spring. The mutant tiger beast stopped to drink water, and the remaining people were able to escape. At that time, there was a lotus growing next to the spring. Thinking of the heavy losses, the group had to bite their teeth and pick the lotus pod to make up for the losses. This is the lotus seed taken from the lotus pod." Lin Qi finished in one breath. "I don't know if this is the material you are looking for, Ms. Gu."
Lotus stood on Gu Nian's shoulder, arched its head and rubbed her face. Gu Nian reached out and touched its head. Everyone else thought it was the kitten being coquettish, but only Gu Nian knew that Lotus was telling her that the lotus seed was what she was looking for.
Gu Nian pondered and said, "How do you sell these lotus seeds?"
Lin Qi understood. It seemed that this was what Gu Nian was looking for. She waved her hand. The assistant behind her understood and handed over a price list. Lin Qi handed it to Gu Nian and said, "Ms. Gu, these lotus seeds are not easy to come by. The evolutionary team risked their lives to get them from the wilderness. The price of these lotus seeds is 2,000 contribution points per seed. I'll give you 20% off, 2,600. I don't know how many you want?"
This price is too high, Gu Nian frowned. There is no need for spirit crystals to make the powerful diamond pills. Gu Nian speculated that it was probably because the water cloud lotus seeds were rich in spiritual energy, so they also replaced the spirit crystals. But even so, if a lotus seed costs 2600 contribution points, then the cost of making the powerful diamond pills may not be too high.
Lin Qi seemed to see Gu Nian's dilemma. She said, "Ms. Gu, I would like to suggest that we cooperate in another way. I wonder if you are interested?"
Gu Nian thought for a moment and said, "Tell me what you think." Her contribution points were tight now, and she wanted to keep them to exchange for things from the official place, so naturally she would try not to move them.
Lin Qi said, "Excuse me, are you going to use these Shuiyun lotus seeds to make medicine? You can keep half of the prepared medicine for yourself, and the remaining half will be sold by our Wan's Trading Company. We will split the profits 50-50."
It must be said that the cooperation proposed by Lin Qi was very generous. Half of the finished drug products were directly given to Gu Nian, and the remaining half of the sales price would also be shared by Gu Nian. This condition inevitably made Gu Nian tempted.
Seeing Gu Nian's thoughtful expression, Lin Qi sincerely advised: "The medicines you make are all good. If our Wan's Company operates it, it will definitely be sold at a higher price."
Gu Nian began to think. The number of Shuiyun lotus seeds was very small, and the amount of powerful diamond pills that could be made would not be too many. It was impossible to sell them everywhere like basic medicines such as blood coagulation cream. In this way, it was most appropriate to let Lin Qi operate a small amount of fine products. Why not try to cooperate with Wan's Company?
"I'm still in the trial stage of this drug. It's a drug that can make people burst out stronger power in a short period of time. I can't guarantee the success rate of the drug. It's only 80% at most." Gu Nian said. She didn't think Lin Qi was a fool. Since she gave her such good materials, she would naturally ask what kind of drug she wanted to make. It would be better for her to say it first. Since the other party took the initiative to show sincerity, she should also show some cooperation strength.
Lin Qi was overjoyed. She didn't expect that this Ms. Gu would make such a rare drug! This kind of drug that can burst out power in a short time must have a huge market! And since the other party said so, it means that they are planning to cooperate. She made a prompt decision and handed a whole box of lotus seeds to Gu Nian: "No problem, I believe in Ms. Gu's strength."
Gu Nian took the lotus seeds and turned to leave.
The assistant whispered, "Manager Lin, is it really okay to just give this box of lotus seeds to her? We purchased them at a price of 2,000 contribution points each!"
Lin Qi said calmly, "We have cooperated with so many people, but only Ms. Gu can make medicine that is eye-catching, just like the Taoist elixir mentioned in the legend. The medicines made by others are just normal medicines with improved effects. Instead of wasting these lotus seeds on other half-baked pharmacists, it is better to give them to Ms. Gu and take a gamble."
How can you do business without taking risks? Lin Qi is more concerned about whether he can get a batch of fine medicines through Gu Nian, and preferably get some methods to deal with mutant materials, which is priceless to Wan's Company today.
A parking lot has been built in the camp, and the official guards are there to ensure that the vehicles are not damaged. However, parking fees will be charged accordingly. Gu Nian earned five contribution points before taking his car. With this rat hunting operation as an opportunity, huge business opportunities have emerged around the wilderness. Whether it is the animal meat, plant herbs, or technological changes caused by the mutant materials, they have injected new vitality into the weak economy after the natural disaster.
Just talking about this parking lot, I'm afraid that in a day, the contribution points earned will not be small. Recently, everyone in the camp has been saying that when the rat hunting operation comes, if you open a store in the camp, you will have to pay stall fees and rent. I'm afraid that the wilderness camp will become a new treasure pot in the future. Compared to the desolation when Gu Nian first came to the camp, the camp now looks like a wasteland-style shopping mall with many shops, but the items sold are no longer fashion and electrical appliances, but various mutant materials and weapons.
Gu Nian drove to the villa and just as he got home, he received a message from Yu Ziqiu on his mobile phone.
"Are you interested in taking on another mission with us?" Yu Ziqiu said.
"What mission?" Gu Nian sent a message back to Yu Ziqiu. She was slightly surprised. Is the second action team so busy? It seems that they are either on a mission or on their way to a mission.
"Those mutant rats showed signs of human experiments. We are planning to go deep into the wilderness again to look for the possible laboratory behind the mutant rats." Yu Ziqiu did not hide it from her and explained the situation directly.
Perhaps worried that Gu Nian would not want to go, Yu Ziqiu immediately sent another message: "The reward this time is very generous, and the military and our Noah will provide people, and the Lihuo Gantian Forum will also fully support, forming an elite team to explore the wilderness."
Sitting on the sofa, Gu Nian could not help but fall silent. Compared to going to the wilderness, Gu Nian would certainly prefer to stay in her warm and comfortable little villa, but she remembered Lin Qi's words. The lotus was found deep in the wilderness, growing beside a spring.
spring.
The lack of water in the farm space was a major concern for Gu Nian. She knew that she was able to live relatively comfortably after the natural disaster because the farm provided a huge storage space, fresh vegetables, and various magical medicines. In the future, whether Gu Nian wanted to improve her life, earn credit points, or even improve her strength, she would need the farm space.
The farm space was her biggest survival trump card in the face of natural disasters. Gu Nian could not give up, and that was why she was always anxious about how to find the spiritual spring. She had originally planned to inquire about any strange springs after the mouse hunting operation was over, but Lin Qi sent her a clue today.
It would be almost impossible for her to go into the depths of the wilderness and search everywhere by herself, but with a large group, maybe they could find the spring and find out what was going on.
Thinking of this, Gu Nian replied to Yu Ziqiu with an OK.
Yu Ziqiu told her that the time would be two days later.
In two days, if I'm lucky, I can make a batch of Dali Jin Gang Wan. Although the name sounds a bit rustic, the medicinal effect should be fine, right? After all, the farm's products must be top-notch, Gu Nian thought to himself.
