"I can't receive the potion materials because of the war on the front line?"

Ark's brow furrowed slightly, but he immediately thought of the reason. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes, it's because of the war on the front. Although there was no large-scale operation in the Wesker Empire, there were many reformers on the front line, and these reformers specialized in attacking and killing our small teams, even some merchants. As a result, these merchants have been reluctant to venture into Cansley City lately, and the materials in the store are all from my previous purchases. ”

Jack also seemed quite helpless, those merchants were unwilling to risk coming to Cansley City, which caused Cansley City to get no goods, let alone potion materials, and even other supplementary goods were pitiful.

Ark's brow furrowed even deeper, he felt more and more that he had been really bad lately, that he didn't have a clue about researching new potions, and that even the grocery store was having trouble now.

"What about the Chamber of Commerce? For example, the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, they can't be without potion materials, right?"

Ark asked in a low voice, these chambers of commerce are powerful, and they often have a special team to escort goods into Cansley City, so they can ensure that there is a sufficient supply of goods.

Jack smiled bitterly: "I have asked all the chambers of commerce in Cansley City, they do have materials, but the price is too expensive, and they are only willing to give us a small share, because most of them have to supply the potion workshop first." ”

With that, Jack glanced at Ark again, and stopped talking.

Ark knew that the potion materials in the potion workshop were actually supplied by the Chamber of Commerce, and in this case, the Chamber of Commerce naturally trusted the potion workshop that had been cooperating all year round.

Moreover, Ark has another hidden concern, if the grocery store buys a large amount of potion materials from the Chamber of Commerce at a high price, how can the potion workshop not notice it? If Ark is found at that time, it will be a little troublesome.

"Jack, what can you do?"

Yak saw that Jack was about to stop talking, there should be some way.

Sure enough, Jack took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's not impossible, I'm going to hire a mercenary to escort me to Boulder City, which is far away from the front line, and all kinds of materials are abundant." When the time comes, I'll go on a shopping spree so that I can temporarily solve the shortage of materials in the grocery store. As long as we can survive this period of time, hopefully the front line will stabilize in the future, and everything will be restored again. ”

It seems that Jack has been thinking about this method for many days, and it was not decided on an ad hoc basis, but after careful consideration, the grocery store is currently on the right track, and credit must not be affected because of the material.

If you take one risk, you can gain a lot.

"The front line is so dangerous, what if you encounter a reformer?"

Yak asked coldly, staring at Jack tightly.

"What's more, I'll spend a lot of money to hire a mercenary, and even if I meet a transhuman, it should be safer, Ark, don't worry. ”

Jack's nonchalant words didn't ease the dreary atmosphere in the room, and both fell silent.

"I'll go. ”

After a long time, Ark looked up and stared at Jack with a fierce gaze.

"Ark, you don't have to fight with me, you're the soul of the grocery store, if something happens to you......"

Before he finished speaking, Yak waved his hand to interrupt Jack's words, and said seriously: "I'll go, Jack, it's the best thing for me to go, what's more, I also want to go out and see, I haven't left Cansley City since I'm so big, not to mention, I'm the best at buying materials." ”

Ark's tone was categorical and unmistakable. In fact, he has also thought it through, firstly, he is indeed the most familiar with the potion materials, and the general materials Jack can still buy, but if there are some special materials, Jack can't recognize them, how to buy them?

Moreover, Ark also wants to set up a laboratory of his own, and many of the things in the laboratory are not available in Kansley City, and only Boulder City can buy them.

There is one last reason, and the most important reason, Ark doesn't want anything to happen to Jack, after all, the front line is more dangerous now, even if there is the protection of mercenaries, but it is really in danger, with Jack's thin body, what are the chances of escaping?

Ark is different, he has been soaking in potions, and his physical fitness has now improved a lot, maybe except for Mr. Cologne, no one else knows that Ark is now afraid that he has a power that is more terrifying than that of a beast.

In addition, Yak is also practicing swordsmanship, and even if he is really in danger, he will definitely have a better chance of escaping than Jack. With these things in mind, Ark decided to go to Boulder City himself.

Seeing Ark's serious expression, Jack knew that Ark was serious, and that Ark's decision would not be changed. So, Jack took a deep breath and said, "Ark, if you must go, then you must be careful. ”

"Don't worry, Jack, I'm not going to joke with my life, how can I be short if I'm going to be a great pharmacist in the future?"

Ark said jokingly.

"Ark, I'll find you the strongest mercenary group. “

"Then as soon as possible. ”

These things are left to Jack, and Ark is relieved. Anyway, Ark hasn't had much to do lately, and he doesn't have a clue about researching new potions, so it's better to go to Boulder City and try to get some unexpected gains.

Ark then leaves the grocery store and heads to the potion shop.

Ark's time has been much freer lately, and it's okay to go to the potion workshop a little later, but thinking that he might leave Cansley City in the near future, Ark still plans to explain it to Mr. Cologne.

Of course, he wouldn't just say to leave Cansley, but for some other reason.

When I came to the potion workshop, many of the apothecary apprentices I saw respectfully called Ark "senior brother", and Ark prepared several potions every day some time ago, which had completely convinced these apprentices.

"Senior Brother Lorraine didn't come back?"

Ark confronts an apprentice and asks casually.

"I haven't seen Senior Brother Lorraine for the past few days. ”

The apprentice shook his head, saying that he hadn't seen Senior Brother Lorraine, which made Ark very strange, because he hadn't seen Lorraine for a long time, almost half a month, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Ark didn't ask in detail, after all, everyone has secrets, and Lorraine is no different.

Ark went straight to the laboratory, Teacher Cologne was still in the laboratory as usual, Ark took a deep breath, then stepped forward and said respectfully: "Teacher, the disciple has something I want to ask the teacher to agree to." ”

Cologne turned around and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"Teacher, the disciple has been researching a brand new potion recently, and he has no clue at all, so the disciple wants to stay at home for a while and sort out the various potions he has mastered, hoping to gain something. ”

Cologne looked at Ark, then nodded and said, "It's okay, sitting in the laboratory every day and studying potions, if you don't have a clue, it's just a waste of materials, you can go back and sort out your thoughts." But it shouldn't be too long, so how about ten days?"

Ark thought about it carefully, ten days should be enough for him to make a trip back and forth to Boulder City.

"Ten days is enough, thank you, teacher!"

Ark said goodbye to Mr. Cologne, Cologne just waved his hand, and casually immersed himself in the study of potions, in terms of the degree of concentration in the study of potions, Ark was far inferior to Mr. Cologne.

Ark took another look at the lab and secretly vowed that the next time he returned to the lab, he would definitely get something out of it. So, he stopped being nostalgic and resolutely turned around and left the laboratory.
