My stats are higher than yours!!

No wonder this guy's chanting is so nonsensical and his spellcasting is so powerful. Normal spellcasting without chanting is at least twice as powerful as a normal mage's. If his overall spellcasting skill is even higher, his strength is off the charts.

"Would you like to spar with each other and get to know each other better?" Xia Yanxin asked with great interest.

"It's meaningless."

Bai Shuodong shook his head and said.

Gauss would never use his full strength during a sparring match, nor would he waste his [Blood Demon Unparalleled] reserves by using [Blood Demon Unrivaled] during a sparring match, and he wouldn't even activate passive damage immunity.

More importantly, Xia Yanxin mastered the profession earlier than him, and her basic attributes are definitely much higher than his. He doesn't want to be a target.

"I am a scholar and I do not like fighting."

Gauss nodded in response, his gaze fixed on Bai Shuodong.

He was more concerned about the Forbidden Walker's strength than the captain's, but it was clear that the other party would not be able to show his full strength during the sparring, so the sparring would be meaningless.

“Let’s set a time, how about half a month from now? We can start our first team-up.” Xia Yanxin continued to take the initiative and said.

"can."

"no problem."

The three looked at each other, all with relaxed smiles on their faces.

Bai Shuodong looked at Xia Yanxin and asked, "Oh right, what was that school loan app you mentioned to me before? What was it called again?"

"Campus loan".

"Ah."

Bai Shuodong nodded, thinking to himself: It's best to use campus loans less in the future. After all, the interest rate on these things is really high. If something unexpected happens and you can't pay back one installment, the interest will compound and you'll be in real trouble.

Psionicists are human too, and humans can get injured. Although the academy has the best medical equipment, even life-threatening injuries can be repaired and healed, don't ask about the specific costs or how much time it will take.

Injuries from regular sparring are the easiest to heal, but some injuries involving special aspects cannot be healed in a short time.

Rationally speaking, it's best to avoid loans as much as possible.

so...

Screw rationality!

I have adaptive evolution, what am I afraid of!

貸！

Take out all 30,000!

business district

Bai Shuodong stood in front of Giant Pharmaceutical's gate.

Giant Pharmaceutical's building is not tall, but it occupies a large area. The exterior walls are gray-white stone walls, which look simple and unadorned, but are actually made of a special material with very high strength.

At the main entrance stand two statues, Titan and Hydra, which are the core businesses of Giant Pharmaceuticals and the symbols of the Titan and Hydra series.

"Welcome to Giant Pharmaceuticals!"

"Welcome to Giant Pharmaceuticals!"

The two security personnel nodded in unison.

"Ah."

Bai Shuodong nodded slightly and walked straight into Giant Pharmaceutical.

Giant Pharmaceuticals was one of the earliest companies in the old era to develop attribute-enhancing drugs that could be used by psionicists. It has a very large production scale and many sales channels in major cities.

At this moment, he has only come to a branch.

Bai Shuodong walked straight to the reception hall. The receptionist stood up with a smile and said, "Hello sir, how can I help you?"

"I'd like to buy some discounted items. Could you tell me which floor they're on?" Bai Shuodong asked.

"Ah...this one."

The waiter's smile changed slightly, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, but he still politely said, "You can go directly to the fifth floor to check it out. There are all kinds of discounted items available for purchase there."

"Ah."

Bai Shuodong walked towards the elevator.

"Special offer" is just a nicer way of saying it.

The upper limit of a psionicist's attributes depends on their physical base potential and template. The higher the template potential and the stronger the physical base potential, the higher the upper limit of the psionicist's attributes.

However, if a mage adds a lot of power that is useless to them, it will also consume their physical potential. This is considered an ineffective upgrade, which is not only useless but will also affect their overall potential.

so...

Generally, when purchasing potions, you should aim to improve the specified attributes. Potions that do not improve the ineffective attributes are classified as defective products.

However, production comes at a cost, and producing defective products also incurs a cost. Although defective products have problems, they can still improve attributes, so it would be too wasteful to simply discard them.

So Giant Pharmaceuticals renamed it a special offer product, specifically for those who couldn't afford good medicine, at a lower price.

I forbid the development of four attributes in the Traveler class, regardless of whether they're defective or not! I'll eat anything with random upgrades! I'm not afraid of drugs with excessive toxicity! I'm already this poor, what am I being picky about? Anyway, I'm an orphan and a show-off, so I don't need to have any psychological burden!

Go for it!

Let's go, brothers!

"Ding!"

The crisp sound of the elevator doors opening rang out, and Bai Shuodong stepped into the fifth floor.

The scene inside the fifth floor resembled an ordinary pharmacy in the world of ordinary people. It was filled with all kinds of medicines, and there were quite a few people coming in. For ordinary people, this was actually a good choice, since most people were poor and didn't have enough psionic points to buy good medicine or equipment.

When weighing equipment against attributes, most people would choose attributes, since attributes permanently improve your character, while equipment might be replaced or damaged, and its value would drop when they sell it.

Adding attribute points doesn't diminish its value!

All the added items are for myself!

Bai Shuodong walked back and forth between the various shelves, looking around.

These defective products can be roughly divided into three types: unstable improvement, excessive drug toxicity, and nearing the expiration date.

A few medications have multiple functions.

Drugs with unstable effects are discounted by 6% to 7%, drugs with overdose effects are discounted by 7% to 9%, and drugs nearing their expiration date are discounted by a fixed 9%. Drugs with multiple benefits can enjoy multiple discounts at the same time.

"Sir, is there anything you'd like to buy?"

A salesperson approached Bai Shuodong with a gentle smile on her face.

"Why are there so many Rejuvenation series? There are so few Titan and Hydra series potions for warriors and tanks, and the expiration date products are even scarcer. Are they selling so well here?" Bai Shuodong asked curiously.

"This...?"

The salesperson smiled and said, "That's because most of our warrior friends don't have much money. Many of them come here directly to buy products that are about to expire. Many people even gamble on the expiration date, hoping that someone else is also watching and will buy it earlier than them."

"Therefore, the near-expiry products of the Titan and Hydra series are always in short supply, and even the defective products are bought by many people, so the sales are relatively good."

"As for the Rejuvenation series..."

The salesperson sighed helplessly and continued, looking at Bai Shuodong, "Those who buy the Huan Shen series are mostly mages and support characters. Support characters have a higher social status and their contributions are relatively stable, so support-type psychics don't often buy this kind of product, and the sales volume isn't very good."

"As for the French system... those old men would never come here."

What are you planning to buy?

"Me?"

Bai Shuodong smiled proudly, tilted his head back slightly, puffed out his chest, and waved his hand, saying, "Give me all the cheapest medicine here!"

God, he bought the cheapest one!

The salesperson almost lost his composure, but his years of professionalism allowed him to maintain his composure and ask, "So, how much medicine are you planning to buy?"

"This number!"

Bai Shuodong held up two fingers. "Two thousand! A full two thousand spirit points!"

"puff!"

The salesperson finally couldn't hold back anymore, his expression completely distorted. He forced a laugh and said, "Many of the cheapest items are from the Rejuvenating series. Are you sure you want to buy them all?"

"I said I'd take it! I said I'd take it!"

"Yes, yes, you're the customer, whatever you say is right." The salesperson smiled and went to get the goods.

Chapter Ninety-Two: What? I'm a scrap collector?

As Bai Shuodong watched the sales staff inspect and pick up the goods, he secretly made his own calculations.

The batch of goods I got was the cheapest, and it had three problems: drug toxicity, unstable attribute enhancement, and near expiration. The price was generally 3% to 5% off, which was much cheaper than normal medicine.

A regular potion costs about 500 psionic points to increase an attribute by 1 point, while spending 2,000 psionic points will only increase a base attribute by an average of 4 points.

However, the effects of potions that provide unstable attribute increases are different. Even without discounts, 500 psionic points can reliably increase an attribute by more than 1 point.

Because it is unstable.

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

However, the core of unstable potions is that the attributes they add are uncertain.

For example, the Rejuvenation series of mental potions are unstable. The Rejuvenation effect may randomly increase strength, agility, or constitution attributes instead of consistently increasing strength and spirit. This uncertainty greatly reduces the value of the potion.

There are indeed professions in the game where mental strength is the primary attribute. Potions that increase mental strength may not be entirely useless, but what if they randomly end up in agility? What if they randomly end up in constitution?

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

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

Because it has the "ineffective boost" attribute.

"Sir, the items have been found here."

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

"say."

"First, we have a Magic Pro 985 potion here that was originally worth 13,000 psionic points, but due to some minor problems 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 medicine used by mental magic users. The testing standards are 20 times higher than those for warrior magic users. It's still a qualified medicine for warriors."

"..."

Bai Shuodong really couldn't hold it in.

The "emotional warriors" are truly beasts; even their drug testing standards are so low.

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

"Are you going to eat it?"

The salesperson smiled, a confident and composed smile on his face, and then continued, "You're quite the convincing guy. Coming to recycle waste at such a young age, you must have suffered a lot in the past, right?"

Back to... recycling waste?

So I'm a scrap collector?

In his eyes, I'm just a piece of trash!

Bai Shuodong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that his image seemed a little off. When he was collecting medicine, he would buy any kind of medicine, regardless of its attributes, and he would only buy the cheapest ones. He didn't even care about their practicality.

Looking at it this way, it does seem a bit like a waste collection site, but what can you do with all this waste? 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?"

"Ok?"
