Chapter 29: Profiteering

"It worked!"

Pei Ze's eyes lit up.

The first time he made a potion was successful, and the result was much more than he expected.

Pleasantly surprised, Pei Ze took a glass test tube, carefully poured the red liquid in the beaker into it, and then plugged the oak cork.

At this point, a bottle of brute force potion was successfully completed.

"Omniscient, parse this potion."

[Analyzing requires 0.1 mental power, is it analytical?] 】

"Parse!" Pei Ze said without hesitation.

In the next moment, the omniscient eye feeds back the parsed information.

[Brute force potion, after taking it, it is expected to increase strength by 25%~30%, lasting 23 minutes, only effective for organisms with constitution attributes below 30, and the storage time is 185 days]

The corners of Pei Ze's mouth raised slightly.

As long as the brute force flask is increased by 20% and lasts for more than 20 minutes, it is qualified.

And the bottle of brute force elixir he refined was much higher than the qualified standard, and it had already reached the standard of high-grade quality.

If you can go one step further, it will be the best quality.

Overjoyed, Pei Ze made persistent efforts and continued to refine the medicine.

But the rest of the process was not so smooth.

During this period, he failed several times, and by the time all ten materials were consumed, he only refined five bottles of brute force elixir.

Including two bottles of upper grade, two bottles of medium grade, and one bottle of lower grade that barely meets the passing standard.

"It seems that the first time I made a high-grade potion, there is a lot of luck in it."

Looking at the brute force potions arranged in a row on the table, Pei Ze let out a long sigh of relief.

Either way, it's a pretty good result.

When a beginner first starts refining potions, it is good to succeed once out of ten.

Generally, dozens of materials are wasted to successfully refine a bottle of qualified medicine, which is still of inferior level.

Pei Ze's 50% success rate is undoubtedly a terrifying number for beginners.

Even among senior pharmacy apprentices, it is already very impressive.

According to the pharmacist rank classification standard, as long as the refining power of a non-ranked potion can be increased to more than 30%, it is considered a qualified pharmacy apprentice.

Pei Ze's current level can already be called the best among pharmacy apprentices!

And that's just the beginning.

With the omniscient eye, he can quickly master the potion formula as long as he starts with it, without wasting a lot of time and resources practicing slowly.

The only thing that constrained his growth on the path of apothecary was the ability to interpret potion formulas and the omniscient eye (spiritual attributes).

Recovering from his joy, Pei Ze began to think about what to do with the brute force potion.

The effect of brute force flasks is to increase strength, so most of the users are knights.

This potion is very popular in the knight academy.

On the contrary, it is used very little by wizards.

Of course, the academy's logistics department also sells and buys brute force potions.

The price of the brute force potion is 100 contribution points, but the purchase price given is only 90 contribution points.

Prices are similar in the pharmacy outside.

However, even if there are only 90 contribution points, the Pharmacy Apprentice will also earn it.

The cost of refining a bottle of brute force potion for an ordinary potion apprentice is about 60 to 70 contribution points, and on average, a bottle of brute force potion can earn 20 contribution points.

As long as you can refine three bottles of brute force potions in a day, you can earn 1800 contribution points in a month, which is far more profitable than any task!

This is the main reason why so many people want to become pharmacists.

It's so profitable!

And that's when the success rate is only 30%.

The higher the success rate and the more you earn.

"The cost of refining a bottle of brute force potion is about 40 contribution points, which is much less than other potion apprentices, and I can earn 50 contribution points for one bottle!"

Pei Ze's heart couldn't contain the excitement.

According to the output of at least five bottles of brute force elixir a day, he has no problem earning six or seven thousand contribution points a month!

And even more!

After all, 90 contribution points are just the price of the inferior brute force potion.

The price of mid-to-upper grade brute force potions will only be higher!

Now it's a big deal!

Pei Ze took a deep breath before calming down the turmoil in his heart.

If you want to sell brute force potions, you definitely can't be in the academy's logistics department.

He has been in contact with pharmacy for less than half a month, and it is a potion material that he only bought today, if he takes out multiple bottles of brute force potion at once, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

After all, no matter how talented an apothecary apprentice is, it is impossible to refine a potion from scratch in half a month.

The same goes for the apothecary shop outside.

Although the probability is not high, it is still a big trouble if it attracts the attention of someone who cares.

After thinking about it, Pei Ze finally had only one way left in his mind.

Black market!

Where there is light, there is darkness.

Especially in the outlying areas of the outer city, where the radiation power of wizards is relatively weak, there are many dark corners.

Pei Ze had heard someone from the Star Spirit Society mention a black market that existed on the edge of the outer city.

At that time, he just listened to it as an anecdote, but he didn't expect that one day he would actually use it.

"If you want to go to the black market, it's better to save up more potions and go again, so you don't have to make multiple trips."

Pei Ze quickly had a plan in his heart.

Then he began to think about something else.

"Omniscient, Improving the Formula of Brute Force Elixir"

[Created a quest to improve the formula of the Brute Force Elixir, estimated to take 153 days]

"So long?"

Pei Ze frowned slightly.

But it's normal to think about it.

The brute force potion must have been optimized countless times over the years, and it must be extremely difficult to further improve it.

Rather, it can be improved again, which is enough to show the strength of the omniscient eye.

Pei Ze checked the effect of the improvement and found that after the improvement, the increase in the strength of the brute force potion was increased to 26%~52%, and the duration and storage time were also increased to varying degrees according to the quality of the elixir.

Overall, the effect of the potion has increased by about 30% compared to the original one.

The materials required have basically not changed, the difference is only some steps in the refining process.

"It's only three percent......"

Pei Ze shook his head and gave up the idea of improving the formula of the brute force potion.

The effect of only 30% has been improved, and the price has increased by about half on the original basis at most.

It is not worth wasting more than one hundred and fifty days of mission time on this.

It's better to find a way to get started with high-level potion formulas as soon as possible.

Brute Force Elixir is an unranked elixir that is just a transition in the final analysis, and if you really want to make a lot of money, you have to look at high-grade elixirs.

The profit of the latter far exceeds that of the non-rank elixir.

That's the real profiteering!

When I came out of the apothery, it was already dark outside.

The greystone lamps on both sides of the college road have been lit, and the yellowish light has paved the pavement with a layer of pale yellow velvet.

Pei Ze came to the logistics department in a hurry, and purchased eighty brute force potion materials at one time.

The thin apprentice in the logistics department only showed an expression on his face when Pei Ze had failed to use up all the materials he had purchased before, and comforted him a few words.

"It's very common for beginners to fail, so don't take it personally."

"When you become a pharmacist, you can earn back all the money you lost."

That being said, the skinny apprentice was actually quite unimpressed.

There were many apprentices who wanted to become pharmacists, but none of the 100 who succeeded in the end.

Most people are just wasting time and money.

It's a very talented business.

It's also a shame that he doesn't know that Pei Ze is now carrying five bottles of brute force elixir that he has refined in his pocket, otherwise his eyes will probably pop out.
