As the captain of the Firefox team, Mu San was particularly depressed today.
Seeing that other teams had already recruited enough people and were ready to enter the Black Demon Mountains, his team was unable to enter the mountains because they had not yet recruited a defensive expert. If they delayed any longer, the place he was stationed at might be taken away by others!
"Wang Zhong, count our pills and see how many are left?" Mu San spat out the grass roots in his mouth and said to a bald man.
"Boss, we're out of healing pills..." Wang Zhong looked at Mu San and said cautiously.
"What? Gone?"
Mu San roared, his eyes wide open, "Didn't we just buy the elixir? How come it's gone again? Did you secretly take it out and sell it?"
"It's unfair, boss. Wasn't this... this pill bought seven days ago?" Wang Zhong muttered softly. Why is the boss's memory getting worse and worse?
"Seven days ago? Really? Did I remember it wrong?" After hearing what Wang Zhong said, Mu San scratched his head and stared at Wang Zhong with some disbelief.
Wang Zhong wanted to cry but had no tears. He said with a sad face, "I really bought it seven days ago!"
Mu San frowned. Pills were the biggest expense on every mission, and more than half of the income was taken up by pills. But he had to buy them because hunting monsters was a dangerous thing. His teammates were brothers who depended on each other for life and death. If they lost their lives due to the shortage of pills, he would not be able to face them no matter what.
"Look at how many gold coins are left. Damn it, has this medicine shop owner never seen money in his past life? A first-grade elixir that can be bought for a few dozen gold coins is being sold for two hundred and fifty gold coins. It's really fucking ridiculous!"
Mu San cursed. The medicine shop he mentioned was exactly what the Xiao family owned in Beast Taming City. Except for the auction house, the rest of the medicine market in Beast Taming City was almost completely monopolized by them. Their monopoly position also caused the prices of medicines in Beast Taming City to be inflated.
"Boss, we still have 3,000 gold coins, which is barely enough to cover the cost of the pills this time." Wang Zhong walked over and said.
"Three thousand?"
Mu San's face looked grim. His team consisted of five people, and each person needed to be equipped with at least three healing pills for each mission, which added up to fifteen pills, and cost at least three thousand seven hundred and fifty gold coins.
"Damn it, go back and tell my brothers that we're short on money this time and can only make two pills. Be careful next time and use them sparingly!"
What Mu San didn't notice was that a young man in gorgeous clothes was standing behind him with an excited smile on his face.
Gu Yuan patted Mu San's shoulder from behind and started his action.
Mu San turned around and saw the guy in front of him who looked like a nobleman. He felt a little strange because he had no memory of knowing any young master.
"Ahem, brother, are you short of money?" Gu Yuan asked in a low voice.
Mu San's face instantly turned cold when he heard this. Oh my god, he turned out to be a wicked loan shark.
"Go away, our team doesn't lend money at high interest rates!" Mu San was already feeling annoyed, and he dismissed Gu Yuan like a fly. He had seen many loan sharks like this before him. They were basically just lazy, incompetent, and wealthy dandies who wanted to get rich. Their favorite thing was to take advantage of the situation and rob people. He always disdained such people.
"Ah, ah, ah, no, brother, I'm not a loan shark. I sell elixirs. I sell elixirs!" Gu Yuan smiled bitterly. How could there be a loan shark in this place? How could they think of him as that kind of person?
"Um?"
When he heard that it was a pill, Mu San, who was about to leave, stopped instantly.
"Selling pills? What kind of pills?" Mu San asked half-doubtfully.
"hey-hey."
Seeing that Mu San's attitude had changed, Gu Yuan hurriedly raised the jade bottle in his hand and poured a healing pill into his palm.
"Look! A first-grade healing pill. Don't underestimate it because it's only first-grade. It has better effects than second-grade pills!"
"Tsk, get out!"
The last glimmer of hope on Mu San's face disappeared, and he turned and left. This guy is dressed like a human being, why doesn't he do something humane?
"Brother, brother, don't go!" Gu Yuan went up and grabbed Mu San's arm tightly with one hand, preventing him from leaving.
"What's going on? Do you think I don't dare to hit you?" Mu San was furious. He was already irritable and now he became even more irritable.
"Ahem, brother, I'll take up thirty seconds of your time. No, just ten seconds, just ten seconds!"
Without time to explain more, Gu Yuan took out a knife from his waist and said that it would be better for him to see the effect with his own eyes.
“Hiss.”
There was a clear sound, and a long cut appeared on Mu San's arm.
"Fuck you!" Mu San's face changed. Before he could say anything, Gu Yuan stuffed a healing pill into his mouth. Then, under his shocked gaze, the wound healed to its original state in just ten seconds.
“What the hell! What the hell!”
Mu San looked down at his arm, then at Gu Yuan, then at his arm again, then at Gu Yuan again. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Looking at Mu San, who was just as shocked as he was at the beginning, Gu Yuan showed a smug smile on his face, "How is it? How is the effect of my first-grade elixir?"
Mu San pulled his skin in disbelief and rubbed his eyes hard to confirm that this scene was really happening.
He took a deep breath. Is this really a first-grade elixir? How come it heals wounds faster than a second-grade elixir, without even leaving a scar!
"Is it really a first-grade elixir?" Mu San asked again.
"It's really first-grade!" Gu Yuan confirmed.
"Price! How much is it?" Mu San regained his composure. The price was what he cared about most.
