Chapter 61: Profiteering

"It's cheap. Hearing the price of these alchemy materials, Vickers's eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing a little surprise.

These four materials for making first-order healing potions add up to a total of one hundred and seventy silver coins, which is equivalent to seventy silver coins for one gold coin, and the required tasks on the task announcement board at the entrance of the teaching building can earn hardware coins on average, as well as credits.

If the material worth one hundred and seventy silver coins is successfully crafted, the profit of each bottle of first-order healing potion is four hundred and sixty-six silver coins, and five bottles are twenty-three gold coins plus thirty silver coins.

However, in addition to the alchemy materials, there is also the key mana pole core for making the potion, and if the potion does not add the mana pole core, the effect is minimal.

The Mana Polar Core should account for a large part of the cost.

The old man hadn't finished speaking, "Thirty silver coins of swift grass and fifteen silver coins of snow berries......"

"It's expensive, let's go. Lucius patted Vickers on the shoulder and said.

Xiao Hao also took a few steps, and Vickers followed with some hesitation.

The old man narrowed his eyes, not intending to keep them.

Is this expensive? Vickers didn't understand the market, it was the first time to come to this kind of place, and the lowest-grade purple mana extreme core should not be much more expensive, he glanced back at the depressed old man.

Behind him were a group of old horses carrying goods, tired from their loose eyelids, with a few white spots hanging from their brown skin, and their coat had faded, and they were as weather-beaten as the old men.

"I want to buy 10 pieces of each of these eight materials. Vickers stepped back to the old man.

Lucius became curious and asked him, "Where did you get so much money?"

"After getting the Alchemist Badge, the Guild also gave me a grant of fifty gold coins. Vickers replied.

The old man got up, silently went to get what Vickers wanted, and stiffly opened the large leather bag hanging from the saddle, which contained dozens of wooden boxes, and the old man opened several of them, and pointed his fingers inward.

The materials should be preserved in different boxes according to classification, the boxes are all ordinary wooden, without any marks, the old man seems to be putting his goods in which box to remember quite clearly, even if the old man's movements are not so dexterous, but also can quickly organize the goods.

Vickers stacked the gold coins on the stall one by one, thirty-two in all, and folded them into three stacks, and the old man counted them slightly, put the gold coins in his pocket, and handed over the various alchemical materials to Vickers.

Vickers suddenly had ten more flowers, ten narrow feathers, a glass jar filled with red powder, and ten red lumps of salt.

Lucius handed Vickers a gray backpack so that Vickers wouldn't have to go back with the materials in his hand.

"Thank you. Vickers gave him an appreciative look.

The three of them were about to turn and leave, when an old, hoarse voice sounded behind them, and Vickers was stopped by the old man.

"Young man, are you an alchemist?" the old man looked at Vickers, his eyes dull, not full of meaning like any old man Vickers had ever seen.

Wix nodded slightly.

Seeing Vickers's reaction, the old man's eyes flashed with a hint of envy, turned his head, and muttered: "It's good, it's not like I didn't have the ability when I was young, and in the end I still worked hard to earn so much money to live." ”

The old man didn't pay attention to Vickers anymore, he had no choice but to leave, in addition to the alchemy materials, he also needed ten purple mana extreme cores.

The fluctuation of mana on the old man's body shows that he is also a Dharma master, even if his cultivation is not high, he can live better than ordinary people without mana, how can he live so poorly?

Vickers looked at a few stalls and didn't see where he was looking for anything, so he asked Lucius, "There should be mana cores for sale here, right?"

"Of course, there's pretty much everything in this market. Lucius pointed in another direction, toward the deeper part of the street.

The three of them walked along the main road, scanned the paving on both sides, and there was no vacant place, and the white cloth spread on the ground was next to each other, looking down from the sky, there were two long white snakes on both sides of the street, and the snakes were full of colorful decorations.

"As long as you are in the Linluo Temple, you can come here at any time to buy and sell freely, and you can be a merchant or a seller. Lucius said suddenly, he poked Vickers, "There are people there who sell mana cores. ”

Vickers's gaze followed, and on a stall a few steps away, crystals of different colors were neatly placed together.

The owner of the shop was a male minotaur, with a strong body and dark skin, who was feeding his mount, a Kodomon, which was dark green and nine feet long from head to tail and four feet high.

The head of the Kodomon is a bit like the head of a rhinoceros, with a bump of flesh protruding from its nostrils, it looks stronger than the rhinoceros, but the minotaur feeds it ordinary grass, and from its eyes, it should be relatively docile.

Such a creature is a first-order magical beast, and like the magic master, they are all creatures with mana, smarter than ordinary animals, and far more powerful than ordinary animals.

"I want to buy ten purple mana cores. Vickers leaned over and offered to speak to the minotaur.

The minotaur didn't look at him, the direction of his eyes didn't change, and he said lightly: "One purple mana extreme core three gold coins, a total of thirty gold coins." ”

Wix touched his pockets and found that his money was not enough, and after thinking about it slightly, the association's funding had fifty gold coins, and he earned ten gold coins from his part-time job this week, and there were twenty-eight gold coins left after buying alchemy materials, so there were still two gold coins missing.

"Boss, can it be a little cheaper?" Wickers gestured with his hand to a "U" shape, and the two ends of this "U" were only a little bit apart.

The Minotaur shook his head flatly, and Vickers looked at Lucius with some embarrassment. 、

"How much worse?" Lucius asked.

Vickers held out two fingers, his cheeks flushed, a little embarrassed.

Lucius stretched out his hand to Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao was startled and looked at him vigilantly, "What are you doing!"

"Contribute two of the gold coins you used to clean the dean's office the day before yesterday. Lucius said flatly, his tone quickly becoming treacherous, "If you take it out, when Zanya earns credits and money, you can eat often." ”

"Even if you didn't say that, I'd be happy to help Zanea. Xiao Hao shook his tail, jumped up to Vickers, and gave him two gold coins.

"Thank you, I'll pay you back right away. Vickers thanked him and gave the money bag to the minotaur.

Xiao Hao showed a disdainful expression, looked at Lucius, and pouted: "I'm not as stingy as you, and I'm so reluctant to have a few gold coins." ”

"Who do you think is to blame?" Lucius' eyes grew more unkind.

The Minotaur happily accepted the money bag and tossed a bag to Vickers, which made the sound of stones colliding.

Vickers opened the bag, and there were pure purple crystals in it, exactly ten pieces, and rubbed one of them, this purple mana extreme core flashed faintly with a faint light, indicating that there was mana flowing in it.

With these ten complete materials, you can make fifty bottles of potions, if all of them are used to submit the academy tasks, you can get at least one hundred and eighty gold coins of profits, and you can finish refining them in less than half a day, borrowing potions to make money is really a huge profit.
