My stats are higher than yours!

There are two types of attribute enhancement: effective enhancement and ineffective enhancement. If it is a fixed enhancement of a certain attribute or two attributes, there will always be demand even if the market demand is low.

However, the core of unstable potions lies in the fact that the properties they increase are uncertain.

For example, the Rejuvenating Spirit series of spirit potions are unstable. They may randomly increase strength, agility, or constitution attributes instead of consistently increasing strength and spirit. This uncertainty greatly reduces the value of the potions.

Admittedly, there are indeed professions in the spirit world with mental strength as the primary attribute, and potions that increase mental strength might not be entirely useless. But what if the random attribute is agility? What if it's constitution?

This uncertainty is the root cause of the significant reduction in the value of the medicine.

Furthermore, attributes that are not guaranteed to improve cannot be considered as effective improvements. Therefore, these unstable potions often provide a greater boost than normal potions of the same price.

Because it has the "ineffective boost" attribute.

"Sir, the items have been found here."

A salesperson approached with several boxes of medicine, smiling as he said, "I have several purchase options for you to choose from."

"explain."

"First, we have a Magic Pro 985 potion here that was originally worth 13,000 psionic points, but due to some minor issues during production, the toxicity level has increased by 689%..."

"The drug toxicity level has increased eightfold, and you're telling me this is a minor issue?"

"Sigh! You don't understand. This is a drug used by mental mage. The testing standards are 20 times higher than those for warriors. It's still a qualified drug for warriors."

"..."

Bai Shuodong really couldn't hold back.

The emotional warriors are such pure animals; their drug testing standards are so low.

He quickly realized what was going on and said, "Isn't that wrong? Are the physical attributes of warriors and mages the same? Are their drug resistances the same? Can a mage take it?"

"Are you buying this to eat?"

The salesperson smiled, a confident and composed smile on his face, and then continued, "You're quite the convincing sweetheart. Coming to collect scrap metal at such a young age, you must have suffered a lot before, right?"

Back to... recycling waste?

So, I used to be a scrap collector?

In his eyes, I'm just a scrap collector!

Bai Shuodong suddenly felt a pang in his heart, instantly realizing that his image seemed a bit off. When he was collecting medicine, he would buy any kind of potion, regardless of its properties, and only the cheapest ones. He didn't even care about their practicality.

Looking at it this way, it does seem a bit like a scrap metal collection business. But what can you do with all this scrap metal? Is it used for research by other companies? Or does the medicine contain some special ingredients?

Bai Shuodong didn't understand.

He doesn't understand market conditions.

But he only knew one thing....

"Who the hell are you calling a scrap collector?"

Bai Shuodong was furious. In a fit of rage, he slapped his student ID card onto the salesperson's face and yelled, "Look for yourself, who's the one who collects scrap metal?"

"Ok?"

The salesperson looked grim, but still picked up the student ID to check it. He touched it and confirmed that it was indeed a student ID from the Psionic Academy.

【Bai Shuo Dong】

Student ID: 11451403

Codename: Ember

[Department: Military Personnel Department]

[Spirit Realm Level: Tier 1, Level 1]

【Occupation: Forbidden Walker (Special Legend)】

Is this kid a legendary psychic?

Suddenly, the salesperson felt a chill run down their spine, but quickly realized something was wrong. Why would a legendary psychic come here to collect scrap?

"I'm very sorry for the bad shopping experience. I'll go and discuss how to compensate you." The salesperson bowed and quickly walked to a secluded corner.

"Manager, I've encountered something here..."

"Yes, I knew something was off!"

"A profession name? Forbidden Walker, could it be that some professions have special requirements?"

"what?"

"He's trying to increase his strength by recklessly touching forbidden areas? Is he here to take drugs?"

"Oh, so you mean he has some kind of viral contraindication in his body, and that he can increase his danger level by consuming drug toxins, so he needs to buy drugs with high toxicity, and buying low-priced products is just a cover?"

"I see! I understand now! I will definitely give him reasonable compensation!"

The call has been disconnected.

The salesperson straightened her appearance, put on a professional smile again, and walked straight to Bai Shuodong, who was waiting, saying, "I'm very sorry for the bad shopping experience you had earlier. We've decided to give you some of the medicines that weren't sold normally. Do you think this compensation is acceptable?"

"Oh?"

Bai Shuodong raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sure enough, legendary-level psionicists still have social standing outside, but if they were lord-level or elite-level psionicists, they would probably be treated like scrap collectors.

"The conflict just now was caused by Huan Shen, so this potion is also being given to you free of charge."

"This potion can increase spirit by 5 points, with a maximum increase of 30 points. It can also increase the maximum spiritual energy by about 100 points. The side effect is that it may randomly increase strength or agility attributes, by about 3 points."

"How much is this thing worth now?"

"Three thousand psionic points."

"Ah."

Bai Shuodong nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm and composed.

What the hell!

This is a top-tier potion that adds 8 points to your attributes! It also increases your maximum spirit energy by 100 points!

If this thing were truly valued based on its attributes, even with a spiritual energy conversion ratio as high as 1-20, it would still be comparable to a 13-point attribute boost!

Moreover, the conversion rate of spiritual energy in a normal person is impossible to be that high; under normal circumstances, the conversion rate fluctuates between 1 and 5.

Only by switching to a magic-based or support-based class can the psionic energy conversion ratio increase to 1-10 or higher. As for 1-20... that's for top-tier legendary magic-based classes.

This thing is incredibly valuable!

Unfortunately, the side effects are too severe for the magic system, making it impossible to sell. Unstable increases in drug dosage exceeding the limit are tantamount to a death sentence. Since it was already unsellable, it's normal for it to be given away as a gift now.

"In addition, we also have a batch of medicines with excessive levels of toxicity that we can give to you, but you will need to make a written commitment."

"Ok?"

Bai Shuodong narrowed his eyes.

"Sir, your promise is not free. As long as you come to Giant Pharmaceutical to buy medicine in the future, you can get a 20% discount on all medicines."

"Oh."

Bai Shuodong nodded slightly and asked, "Then what written promise do you want from me?"

"We promise you won't have any trouble with Giant Pharmacy due to drug toxicity issues. The discounted medicines you purchase cannot be given away privately or used for commercial purposes," the salesperson said.

"Oh."

Bai Shuodong understood.

Seeing that his profession was a forbidden walker, the other party thought he might be planning to overdose and commit suicide, so to avoid causing trouble for Giant Pharmaceuticals in the future, they asked him to make a statement in advance.

As for not being able to use it for commercial purposes...

The drugs delivered by Giant Pharmaceuticals are estimated to be excessive. If they were used for commercial purposes or given away, it would cause them trouble. Therefore, they would prevent Bai Shuodong from buying discounted drugs to give away.

It seems the Forbidden Traveler has a good reputation; he even delivered poison instantly.

snort!

Is the medicine toxic?

interesting.

It's time to improve drug resistance!

My [Adaptive Evolution] passive ability is no joke! It adapts to as many as come!

"I can make a promise, but you have to show me the compensation first."

"no problem."

...

Giant Pharmaceutical Warehouse

"Mr. Bai, the medicines here are not normally sold to the public, so please do not give these unconventional medicines away as gifts," the salesperson said.

"can."

"We have three types of medicines for you here, all of which are 'top-tier medicines' that you can't find on the market," the salesperson emphasized deliberately.
