Chapter 213: Monster Attack
The tent where Achilles brought her to discuss business was large and it wasn't crowded even if several people stood inside.
However, after sending Josh to the place, they stood outside the tent according to the rules so as not to affect their conversation.
"When I was clearing out the solitary beasts around the camp this morning, I noticed that Bruce and his companions were able to move freely. After asking, I learned that it was you who gave them healing items. Thank you, Miss Josh.
Please don't mind that I asked them about this matter without your permission. "As soon as they entered the tent, Archer explained the situation to Josh with a slightly apologetic tone.
"It's okay, this is not something that needs to be hidden." Josh smiled and said nothing.
"That's good. Let me ask you, are the effects of these healing items as significant as those on these people?" Archer was obviously very concerned about this and asked.
"Deputy Captain Aqir, I'm still confused about this question. I've only tried it on myself before, and then on a small monster. This is the first time I've tried it on the soldiers. They didn't react when they used it yesterday, and I was worried that it wouldn't work. But as you saw just now, it's not bad."
"Is that so?" Archer suddenly realized. No wonder he had never heard Oswin mention it before. "So what did you mean by a small number before?"
"The materials needed to make this healing item are no longer available on the farm, and I haven't collected many seeds yet, so..." Josh smiled bitterly, and Archie understood what he had not finished.
"Excuse me for asking, what kind of crop is it?" He said seriously, "Don't worry, I have no intention of prying into the production method. I just want to see if I can find it in the army warehouse."
There is nothing wrong with saying "It's the Warm Light Cattail". Warm Light Cattail is considered to be a relatively common crop among healing crops. Pharmacists and medical workers who know a little about it know it.
Even if Josh didn't say it, someone familiar with it could find out with a little research. There's no need to hide it.
But no matter how common it is, it is only relatively common among a number of healing crops. In fact, it is still very difficult to buy it directly on the market.
"Nuanguangpu?" he repeated, then brainstormed in his mind and thought about it carefully.
Ordinary soldiers didn't know about these precious healing crops, but he did know about them. However, he couldn't figure out whether they were in the legion's warehouse no matter how hard he tried.
Many of the external injury medicines they usually use contain Nuanguangpu, but most of them are purchased directly from other big cities.
This is bad. Achilles was a little depressed. He thought he could find new items with healing properties and buy some for these warriors and do something for them.
Now it seems that it is better not to know. What can I do without materials?
The raw materials of crops with specific healing properties are basically difficult to buy, especially in large quantities. Farms that can grow such crops generally have their own pharmacies. Buying materials is out of the question, but buying potions can be negotiated.
Anyway, they just use ordinary and mediocre medicines to monopolize the market, and use the not-so-good effects to force the injured to buy more medicines to heal their wounds. He is really fed up with such behavior.
Seeing Archie's unexpected look, Josh also understood.
In addition to the difficulty in planting healing crops, the people who have the seeds will not sell them directly, even if they are made into low-grade healing potions that are worse than the original healing effects. Merchants are profit-driven and have even set up chambers of commerce. Anyone who dares to sell healing crops on a large scale privately will be punished by the chamber of commerce. Anyway, competition in business is competition on a daily basis, but they are particularly united in this regard.
What can be seen occasionally in the market are just a few flower buds left by scavengers, very few.
"Hey, I thought I could do another deal with Miss Qiao Xi, but who knows." Archer smiled bitterly.
"If Deputy Captain Aqir can wait, I still have a few seeds on my farm. I can plant them slowly. Maybe in a few years I can grow a lot of them." Josh joked.
"Haha, that's a good idea." Archer smiled bitterly and joked with Josh.
But he quickly cheered up. He couldn't get these things, but the legion commander might be able to do so. The next time he met the legion commander, he would definitely have a good talk with him about this matter.
"I'd like to ask you again, could you sell me some of it? I want to show it to the legion commander." Archer spoke again.
"What's the big deal, okay?" Josh gave Archie several of each.
"No need for federal points. If you can get me some raw materials, I'll thank you."
"Hehe, I'll try my best." Archie couldn't laugh.
"But if there is really a way, these healing items, I hope you will cooperate with us first." Archer said it first, and we will talk about it later if it succeeds.
"certainly."
Qiao Xi was not as concerned about the Warm Light Cattail seeds as he was. The main reason was that he had looked for them in the free market before and had also asked Teacher Luman, but there were none.
She no longer had any hope and decided to wait until next spring to plant the remaining warm light cattail. A hundred or eighty seeds would accumulate over two years and become a lot.
She is not yet prepared for the medical business.
——
I don’t know if it was true or not, but that night, some warriors among the alien beasts that attacked the camp discovered that they were using similar healing crops.
When he heard the news the next day, Qiao Xi couldn't believe that such a coincidence could happen as soon as he was told?
Then she should have talked to someone more often earlier, maybe Weiguang Maolin also has this thing.
This batch of strange beasts were particularly ferocious. In a round-by-round battle, batch after batch of ferocious beasts emerged from the swamp.
The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder in the dark, with crazy fighting.
Before the light was about to disappear, Achilles gave an order and asked the soldiers to take out the attribute food that had been distributed in advance as a supplement.
Josh knew the smell as soon as he smelled it: it was baked beans in tomato sauce.
Sure enough, the soldiers who ate cans of baked beans in tomato sauce had sufficient night vision in the dark, and the Warcraft warriors were the same, as if they were taking drugs. Finally, under the command of Achilles, they successfully counterattacked these strange beasts and kept the camp safe.
After a night of fierce fighting, no one in the entire legion slept a wink. When the fog dissipated in the morning, everyone began to collect the bodies of the unfortunate soldiers. The healing beasts worked desperately to treat them, and the various medical teams opened boxes of the high-priced healing potions that had been hidden before.
Qiao Xi didn’t understand before. Everyone said that there were countless treasures hidden in the secret space. Why was the legion that had obtained so much wealth unwilling to spend more blood to arm the soldiers?
After this night of real war, Josh realized that the ordinary-looking soldiers, in what they wore, on their feet, and in their backpacks, were all expensive items.
When they began to fight in formation, it goes without saying that the auxiliary disposable weapons were not cheap. Although they looked inconspicuous, it can be said that each soldier was fully armed and supported by countless federal points. The long-term support of such a legion could be said to be an astronomical figure.
No wonder so much wealth can be obtained in the secret realm, but the expeditionary force still seems so difficult.
