Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 10: Scarce Magic Potion
System: You have successfully made a bottle of primary magic potion and gained 100 points of pharmacist experience.

System: You failed in making the primary magic potion, and gained 10 points of pharmacist experience.

……

As an apprentice pharmacist, Su Ming's success rate in making potions is very low. Even with the bonus from the workshop, the success rate is only about half, which is far from the 80% that Paisen said.

The task cycle would begin only after a batch of moonlight grass was consumed. Each time, Pai Sen would provide Su Ming with a venue and related auxiliary materials.

After using up all the 100 pieces of moon grass in his backpack, Su Ming made a total of 10 bottles of primary magic potions, which he sold to Paisen and received gold coins.

Su Ming could not keep these potions, so it was equivalent to Pai Sen providing the materials and venue and hiring Su Ming to process the potions.

After Su Ming provided these potions, primary magic potions appeared on the shelves of the pharmacy.

Primary Mana Potion: After use, it will restore 2% of the maximum mana per second, lasting for 10 seconds, and cannot be stacked.

Price: 10 gold coins.

Primary mana potions are different from primary life potions. Life potions restore a fixed value, while mana potions restore a percentage.

When Su Ming saw the price, his eyes widened. He couldn't accept a hundred times difference.

Seeing Su Ming's appearance, Pai Sen patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Don't be surprised. After all, this also includes the cost of many failed materials..."

Su Ming stared at him.

Python was defeated, shrugged his shoulders and said:
"The pharmaceutical industry is so profitable. If you want to buy it, I'll sell it to you for 1 gold coin."

Su Ming continued to stare at him.

"Okay, okay, 5 silver coins, I'll sell it to you for 5 silver coins."

"Okay, five bottles."

In fact, Su Ming didn't need the primary magic potion very often, but after fighting for so many days, he understood one thing - when going out, it's always a good idea to carry some medicine with you, no matter if it's a red bottle or a blue bottle.

After putting the potion into his backpack, Su Ming asked:
"Do you still need help finding moon grass?"

"Well, the remaining materials in the store are enough to make 500 bottles of primary magic potions. I will still buy them at the price of one silver coin per bottle. How much you can earn depends entirely on your own ability.

If you can't take off your apprentice hat within these 500 bottles, you will have to pay for the practice materials in the future."

"Okay, no problem." Su Ming nodded and left the pharmacy.

After Su Ming left, a magic web sorcerer named Tian Huihui came to the pharmacy. He was carrying a large scroll on his back and a magic book hanging around his waist. This was his attire after his job change.

He had just completed his job transfer mission not long ago, and before leaving the Novice Village, he had to make one last round of replenishment.

The prices of items in the Novice Village are cheaper than those outside, so many people will take a backpack of life-restoring potions with them before leaving. These potions are enough to support the players who leave the village to reach level 15.

After arriving at the pharmacy, Tian Huihui quickly discovered something was wrong.

A touch of blue appeared in the originally red shelves, so conspicuous that it was hard not to notice it.

"New potion? I've never seen it before." Tian Huihui came closer to check the properties. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but he was shocked when he saw it.

It’s actually a mana recovery potion!
Su Ming had never been to the forum, so his understanding of magic potions was not sufficient. He only regarded them as practice potions used by pharmacists to level up. But what he didn't know was that no one in the player community had ever used potions to restore mana!

This shows its value.

Tian Huihui urgently contacted his brother, Tian Lanlan, the captain of the Yueta Team.

"Brother, how's the strategy for 'Abandoned Temple' going?"

The Abandoned Temple is a level 20 instance that has been open for four or five days. All teams are stuck at the first BOSS. This boss, named Knight Commander of the Temple, will absorb the player's mana and then restore health in the final stage.

This blood recovery is conditional. Within 10 seconds, if the player's output exceeds a limit, the blood recovery will fail. However, the player's mana has been sucked away, and he has no skills. The damage he can deal is really limited, and he will return to full blood every time.

Compared with solving the mana problem, more teams choose to stack attacks from shooter-type professions, hoping to shoot the boss to death, but so far, no team has emerged that has reached the damage target.

"What do you mean? You're asking even though you already know the answer, right?"

"Hey, brother, I found some good stuff in the Novice Village. Maybe it can help you beat the first BOSS."

Tian Lanlan listened to the mysterious words of her brother and asked:

"What good stuff?"

Tian Huihui did not answer directly, but said:

"Well, I want to change the game cabin recently..."

"Get lost."

"Don't." Tian Huihui posted the properties of the primary magic potion to Tian Lanlan: "How is it? Is it worth it?"

"Holy crap... there's this thing in the Novice Village? How did you get it?"

"It's available in pharmacies." Tian Huihui is very single.

"Could it be that the system saw that we couldn't beat them, so it updated the game store?" Tian Lanlan asked again: "Hurry up and bring a backpack back, and we can talk about the game warehouse."

"OK, I've been waiting for you to say that. By the way, I don't have enough game coins, can you mail some to me?"

Tian Huihui ran to the mailbox, took out 10000 gold coins, went back to the store, and started buying potions like crazy. However, after buying the tenth bottle, he was limited in purchase.

"Damn, boss, why is there a purchase limit on this potion?" Tian Huihui was a little anxious. If he didn't buy enough potions, the game cabin would be ruined.

"This is a new product. There are only ninety-five bottles in total, so the purchase is limited. If you want to buy more, come back tomorrow."

"I'll pay a high price!"

“It’s no use offering a high price.”

"I rely on..."

Tian Huihui walked out of the pharmacy dejectedly, sat down at the door of the pharmacy, and started contacting Tian Lanlan again:

"Brother, purchase limit."

"what happened?"

"Limited edition product, only ninety-five bottles."

"Then you can find other people in the Novice Village and ask them to buy it for you, and you can pay a high price for it." Tian Lanlan is smarter than Tian Huihui.

"The server has been open for more than a month, there are no newbies here. Many of them are like me who changed their professions and returned to the Novice Village. Only idiots would sell me... Wait, I might really have one here. I'll wait a while before leaving the Novice Village, don't be in a hurry, brother." Tian Huihui remembered that he helped a tamer who kept a slime as a pet to find a cat a few days ago. That was a really rare species, the ultimate whiteie.

"You'd better hurry up. I don't know if there will be new potions in other novice villages." Tianlanlan said.

"Don't worry, it will be dark soon. Xiaobai should go back to the village and log off. I will wait for him at the village gate." Tian Huihui said as he walked.

However, the Su Ming he was waiting for brought a backpack of torches and was having a lot of fun fighting in the snake cave.

Tian Huihui could never have imagined that Su Ming, this weirdo, had already started leveling up at night when he was only at level one.

Tian Hui waited from night to day, and the game characters all had dark circles under their eyes, but Su Ming still didn't show up.

"Damn, this guy wouldn't just go offline in the wild, right? He's not that stupid, right?"

beep.

Tian Huihui's communicator rang. It was a message from Tian Lanlan:
"What about people?"

"No, that guy looks like a minor. Maybe he needs to go to class? Or be prevented from addiction?"

"Don't wait any longer, let's get out of the village right away. It seems someone from the Glorious Team has also obtained the magic potion. Why aren't you keeping an eye on the pharmacy?"

"Damn it, PK is not allowed in the Novice Village. Can I stop others from going in?" Tian Huihui rolled his eyes, ran quickly to the pharmacy, bought today's share, and then left through the teleportation array in the village.
