Above the mage!

Chapter 11 Phil's Potion Shop

Genius, this is not an unfamiliar evaluation for Gao De. From childhood to adulthood, people around him have always praised him in this way.

But his genius is in mathematics, which seems to mean little to the world of magic.

A former genius in the field of potions is what is truly useful now.

The purchase price that the Seda Mage can get for the primary spider venom potion is 3 gold per set (2 small bottles).

This is based on the premise that Master Seda has certain strength and can deliver goods stably.

It is obviously impossible to get this price if you ship on a small scale yourself, but it won’t be much lower either. Moreover, the advantage is that it is pure profit without any cost.

"What a pity," Gao De couldn't help but sigh.

In addition to his outstanding talent in the field of potions, his predecessor was also much smarter than ordinary people in scheming.

Gaode is not the only one who has remained sober in this environment.

My predecessor was also such a person.

Just like God, he was not willing to wait blindly for his destined fate to come, but tried to change his own destiny.

He began preparing to escape the predicament he faced early on, and miraculously found a breakthrough with his talent.

——As long as you have money, it is possible to find a way to crack the tracking mark.

But unfortunately, before he could save enough money, he was chosen by Master Seda to experiment with medicine.

Always stay with me.

If his predecessor was given more time, perhaps he could really create a miracle of his own.

"Since I have been given a second chance, I will definitely succeed this time."

With the savings left by the predecessor, the newly obtained qualification to enter and exit the medicine garden freely, and the "Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow", the originally slim hope finally became visible.

After eating the standard dinner of rye bread and pea soup, Goder left the medicine garden with Amy, carrying a full package, before it got dark.

The package contained five sets of primary spider poison potions, which he was going to deliver to the potion shop in the city.

This was originally Yilan's job, but after he stabbed Yilan to death, it was handed over to him.

Because of the existence of the tracking mark, Master Seda was not worried about his apprentices escaping. Generally speaking, he did not restrict the apprentices' range of activities. At the same time, in order to save trouble, Master Seda confidently handed over the job of shipping the potions to Yilan.

Of course, the price was negotiated by Master Seda himself, and Yilan was only responsible for delivering the goods.

Master Seda's medicine garden is located on the outskirts of Hogan City.

The establishment of a medicinal garden requires a large and fertile piece of land.

As a potion master, Master Seda has many ways to make money, but his expenses are also huge, so he cannot be extravagant.

Therefore, even in Hogan City, which was equivalent to an unknown small county town in the previous life, Master Seda could only choose to locate the medicine garden in the suburbs where the land price was cheap.

The place where Gaode wanted to go was the commercial district of Hogan City.

In most cases, a city's commercial district is located in the best location in the city.

Hogan City is no exception.

Its commercial district is located in the most central part of the city.

Even though Hogan City is not that big, the location of the medicine garden is indeed remote.

It takes about an hour to walk from the medicinal garden to the commercial area.

The round trip is two hours.

Before the crossing, Gaode had many means of transportation for this distance.

Subway, bus and even taxi.

The only thing I wouldn’t consider is walking.

But here, he only has one means of transportation - his own legs.
Although there are still carriages as a means of transportation in this world, the problem is that the rental price of a carriage starts at one hour, with a starting price of 2 silvers, and 5 coppers are required for every 6 minutes thereafter.

At this price, only Master Seda is qualified to ride it, and it has nothing to do with these young apprentices.

The first impression that Hogan City gave to Gao De can be summed up in three words: too shabby.

Along the way, the roads are winding and almost unplanned, and most of them are very narrow.

Because it rained a few days ago, many sections of the road were flooded with dirty water and littered debris could be seen everywhere.

The feeling of restraint and crowding is overwhelming.

Along the way, most of the pedestrians I met were in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry.

Gao De knew that most of these pedestrians were factory workers in the city. They had to rush home before dark, finish their chores as quickly as possible, and go to bed to rest, so as to save as much kerosene money as possible.

As we entered the slum area on the edge of Hogan City, the stench in the air became more and more intense. On the roadside we could see many semi-unemployed, ragged poor people working as temporary workers, and homeless beggars.

Gao De and Amy are also from here.

It's very chaotic and poor here, and there are a lot of people.

There are also many thieves.

Goder subconsciously tightened the straps of his package, bent down slightly, quickened his pace, and, following Amy's lead, lowered his head and walked through the messy streets.

Although he could barely be considered a wizard apprentice and mastered two tricks, these two tricks had no lethality and were mainly functional. In addition, his body was not very strong, so Gao De had to act with caution.

This is why Gode wanted to bring Amy with him on this trip. His previous life only left him knowledge, and his current situation is equivalent to that of a person with amnesia.

In other words, he didn't know the way.

As they walked forward, the stench in the air gradually faded away and the houses on both sides became much brighter. Only then did Gao De straighten his back and look straight ahead.

Now they are in the civilian residential area of ​​Hogan City. After crossing this area, they will reach the commercial district.

After walking for about another twenty minutes, Gaode finally arrived at the commercial district before dark.

The commercial district of Hogan City was very busy. As it was getting dark, the street lights on both sides of the road were already on.

The street lamps here are all magic crystal lamps, powered by a strange crystal called magic crystal, and are much brighter than kerosene lamps.

In the same city, only 30 or 40 minutes apart, one side is reluctant to turn on the lights at night in order to save a little kerosene money, while on the other side, the more expensive magic crystal lamps are brightly lit all night long.

It's like two different worlds.

The streets in the commercial district are very wide and clean.

All kinds of tempting aromas wafted from the high-end restaurants on both sides of the road.

When they passed by a bakery called "Pande Bread", the sweet smell of freshly baked cakes and biscuits wafting from the store made Gode and Amy, who had been eating rye bread all day, swallow their saliva instinctively.

However, the prices outside the bakery forced the two of them to just walk by without even glancing at them - a small portion of the cheapest maple syrup pancake cost six copper coins.

Everyone on the street is wearing well-dressed clothes, but the colors of men's clothes are very monotonous, generally brown and black. The dresses of ladies and young ladies are much more colorful, with different colors and gorgeous decorations.

Amy had bent slightly again, lowered her head, and quickened her pace, just like she had just done in the slums.

But it's different.

Gao De, however, looked around with great interest, taking in the "exotic" scenery that he had never seen in his previous life.

Following the house number, Amy took Godard to their destination.

"Phil's Potion Shop".

A medium-sized shop that monopolizes the three house numbers 18, 19, and 20 on this street. It has a large sign and a water sign at the door.

"Fill's Potion Shop is looking for diligent herb collectors."

"The time for the thorn grass to mature is approaching. Since the grass grows high in the mountains, the picking period is very short and the demand is high. We urgently need to hire 5-10 temporary herb pickers with good physical strength and hard work."

"This job requires going out into the mountains, sleeping outdoors, and following the instructions of our pharmacist."

"You'll be paid based on the quantity and quality of your collection. Our store will provide the necessary outdoor equipment and food."

"If you are interested, please come to our store for an interview as soon as possible."

"."

It was a job posting for a handyman.

Thorn grass is a medicinal herb with small thorns on its surface. Its medicinal effect is to restore physical strength. After being dried, thorn grass is often used as an auxiliary medicine in the preparation of physical strength recovery potions.

The physical recovery potion is one of the best-selling low-level potions, so when the thorn grass matures, pharmacies generally collect it in large quantities, then air-dry it and preserve it to ensure a stable supply throughout the year.

The herbal knowledge about thorn grass flashed through Gaode's mind.

He shifted his eyes away from the water sign and strode into Phil's Potion Shop.

This is the shipper that Master Seda negotiated with.

Because the specific details had already been negotiated and this was not the first time they had cooperated, and AutoNavi was only responsible for delivery, the transaction was completed smoothly.

He walked into the shop, stated his identity and purpose, handed five sets of primary spider venom potions to the clerk, and then received a "receipt" stamped with the seal of Phil's Potion Shop, which meant he had completed his mission.

——The money does not pass through Gaode's hands. Every once in a while, Master Seda will come with a "receipt" to collect the payment himself.

"God?" After leaving Phil's Potion Shop, Amy saw God looking around, as if looking for something.

Gao De came back to his senses.

The primary spider poison potion belonging to Master Seda had been used, but his own set of primary spider poison potions still lay quietly in his package.

Gao De didn't remember where his predecessor had sold these medicines, but it was not a big problem, he could open up a new channel.

"Amy, I want to walk around some more. You go back first." He turned to Amy and said.

Amy was stunned for a moment, then she subconsciously said, "It's so late now, there are no magic crystal lamps in the slums."

Gao De thought about it and it did make sense. This world was different from his previous life. Public security could not be guaranteed, especially in places like slums. It was safer to travel in groups.

He took out six copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Amy's hand. "Wait for me at the door of Pand Bakery. I'll find you after I finish shopping, and then we'll go back together."

"God." Amy was not surprised that God had money. Instead, she advised, "Since Master Seda's potion has been successful, we should be able to live a stable life. You are the most talented among us, and you will definitely be valued by Master Seda."

"Are you sure?" Goder was not surprised that Amy knew something, and just asked back.

After all, they live under the same roof, so it would be strange if Amy didn't know anything.

"I think so," Amy stammered, looking very guilty.

Obviously, he knew Master Seda's character well, but he was just deceiving himself subconsciously.

"I killed Yilan and offended Master Seda. Besides, the situation can't get any worse, right?" Gao De said, then turned and left. "I'll come back to you soon."
