Chapter 27: The Unscrupulous Merchant

  I immediately traded the 10,000 bottles of medicine to Xiaoyu, and gave her all the gold coins on me. Earlier, I had obtained over 200 gold from killing the Mad Lion's wrist guard, and now I still had over 100 left. It would be a waste not to use them for business, so I said to Xiaoyu: "This medicine will sell for 4 silver coins per bottle!"

  "4 silver coins, wow, that's 400 gold here, but big brother, I and Liu Yu spent all our time on this, how are we going to level up?"

  I thought for a moment and said, "The materials are limited, and the players in our hands should not be many now. I estimate that after collecting for a while, it will be almost enough. As for potions, they can be put on the trading post. After all, there is only a 2% handling fee. You two can go to other main cities to collect later. There's no need to rush to level up now. Let's take advantage of the high price of gold coins and make some more money first!"

  Xiao Yu wondered: "What's the exchange rate between gold coins and RMB now?"

  I smiled and said: "Just now I went to the forum and saw that someone was openly selling gold coins, one gold coin for 30 yuan!"

  Suddenly Xiao Yu's eyes blazed with a fierce gaze: "Screw it, I've decided not to level up anymore. Big bro, I don't care about you, this money is mine, and the rest of it will be split between you and Liu Yu!"

  "What you're taking is the lion's share, the medicine was made by me, I'm taking 40%, and you and Liu Yu are each taking 30%!"

  Xiaoyu glared: "You dare? If you don't listen to me, I'll send out your childhood nude photos!"

  I was shocked and said: "You dare to post mine, I'll post yours!"

  "Hmph, my nude photos were taken when I was 1 year old, even if they're leaked, nobody would recognize me. Your nude photos were taken when you were 10 years old, and there's not much difference from how you look now!"

  I: “......”

  Okay, I admit she's better than me!

  "40% is mine, you and Liu Yu can split the rest as you like. Also, this month's water and electricity bills are your responsibility!"

  I: “......”

  I couldn't help but feel frustrated, and I've never really won anything when competing with Xiaoyu. As an older brother, I also felt a lot of pressure!

  I had no choice but to continue leveling up, and indeed I was not there. Yiru Xue killed monsters and got tired a lot, after all, in terms of attributes, she is still much weaker than me!

  As soon as he saw me coming over, Yiru immediately shouted: "If you don't come back, I'll be tortured to death by the monsters!"

  At this time, she was dragging half of her blood and a giant mountain bear to fight, fortunately, the guy's position was not bad, and he was not caught by the monster, otherwise, it would have taken away a quarter of her blood energy!

  She rushed up to help and fixed the one. Yiru Xue let out a sigh of relief, asking: "How's it going? How much medicine have you made? How much money have you sold?"

  Since she already knew, I didn't have anything good to hide, so I said: "Having made 10,000 bottles, it can probably sell for 400 gold!"

  Yiru Xue's eyes widened suddenly: "Damn, this is so profitable, I'm in too!"

  "Come on! You have money too, just buy the materials yourself and I'll help you make it. You'll even earn more that way!"

  "Isn't this when you're busy leveling up?"

  Liu Yu first put 2,000 bottles of medicine into the trading station to test the situation. As a result, because it was cheaper than the system's sale price, the 2,000 bottles were all bought out in less than a few minutes. Liu Yu and Xiao Yu were overjoyed, and they immediately put up the rest, continuing to collect materials!

  But as I expected, the materials were quite limited, and in ten minutes, they almost didn't receive much, so the two immediately transmitted to other main cities. There are more than 20 main cities of similar size to Tianfeng City in China, which is enough for us to make a lot of money!

  Of course, this is also under the current situation where no one competes. Once someone else also rolls out a beginner's potion production scroll, I'm afraid I won't be able to make that much money!

  So if you want to make money, now is the time!

  As for Xiao Yu and Liu Yu's levels, there's no need to rush, this game can probably be played for several years, it doesn't matter about these few days. Besides, I'm still desperately leveling up, as long as my level and equipment go up, bringing the two of them to level up will be a piece of cake!

  Four hours later, with a system prompt, I finally reached level 18, from 17 to 18 levels actually need 289,000 experience points, it's really a bit high, although I am killing monsters across levels, but still feel the speed is very slow!

  Glancing at the time, it was already past midnight. At this moment, a message was sent to Liu Yu: "How's it going? How much material have you collected?"

  Liu Yu was somewhat excited, saying: "The 100 gold you gave me, plus the 400 gold from selling the medicine water, have all been exchanged for materials. You can immediately return to Tianfeng City, make the medicine water and then throw it into the trading post. After waking up, we can continue!"

  I was also surprised when I heard it, 500 gold materials can be sold for 2000 gold if made into medicine, damn, this is making money too fast!

  "Hurry up and said: 'Okay, I'll be right back, just in time, all of my equipment is worn out!'"

  "After practicing for six or seven hours, the system sent a prompt saying that my equipment was going to break. Broken equipment is the same as not wearing any, so I said to Yilin Xue: 'Nothing, beautiful girl, I'm going back now, let's practice together tomorrow!'"

  Yiru Xue yawned and lazily said: "I'm a bit sleepy too, it's time to go offline and sleep. Goodbye~"

  He said that and directly went offline. This guy is too bold, actually daring to go offline here, isn't he afraid of being surrounded by monsters when he goes online tomorrow?

  I then took out the return to the city, after several hours of high-intensity killing monsters, my sin value had been washed away, and I could finally return to the city with a clear conscience! Just thinking about it brings tears streaming down my face!

  A flash of white light, and I had already appeared in Tianfeng City. At this time, Xiaoyu and Liu Yu also arrived. Seeing my level, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Eh, you can already practice leveling up, while the two of us can only run errands for you to collect materials. This world is really unfair!"

  I smiled and said, "What's with the sigh? It's not like you're not getting your share of the money!"

  The two of them immediately handed over the materials to me, a total of over 500 gold's worth of materials, at least 100,000 copies, filling up both of their backpacks, and even some had to be stored in the warehouse. After I finished making them, I made more than 50,000 bottles of potion, leaving 1,000 bottles of life potion and 1,000 bottles of magic potion, and putting all the rest into the consignment shop. This trading post not only has a consignment function but also allows players to auction, with the highest bidder winning, so it's also called an auction house! Of course, these potions are 4 silver coins per bottle, if someone were to raise the price, then the player would be selling higher than the system's pharmacy, so players can just go buy directly from the system's pharmacy, so no one will come to raise the price!

  I deliberately flipped through the auction house to see if there were any black ironware, but after searching for half a day, I couldn't find any swordsman's equipment. A wave of helplessness washed over me, and I had no choice but to log off and go to sleep!

  In my dream, I appeared in an ocean of gold coins. As far as the eye could see, everything was golden. I lay on a golden bed, wore golden shoes, and even the toilet bowl was made of gold. For a moment, I was overjoyed!

  Suddenly felt a bit cold, wanted to turn over, but the quilt on my body was also made of gold, pressed down and couldn't turn over. Finally, with a great effort, I rolled over with a "thud" sound, and fell off the golden bed, landing directly on my butt, hurting so much that I let out an "ouch" and woke up with a start!

  It's raining outside, not very heavily. I didn't close the window when I went to bed last night, so raindrops drifted in. No wonder I felt a bit chilly just now. After closing the window and checking the time, it was only 6 o'clock!

  Except for those classes that can't be skipped, I'm generally determined not to get out of bed. But now it's a bit different, with the medicine stored at the auction house on my mind, I immediately got up, finished washing and dressing in two minutes, and settled breakfast in five minutes. As for what breakfast is, it's just a few buns and a packet of soy milk from Auntie downstairs!

  As soon as I went online, I was overjoyed to see that tens of thousands of bottles of medicine had been snapped up, and although my medicine was only one silver coin cheaper than the system store's, players wouldn't just buy a few bottles each time. The more they bought, the more money they could save. Normally, players would have to kill thousands of monsters to get one gold coin, so they wouldn't let go of the opportunity to save money. As a result, over 2,000 gold coins suddenly appeared in my backpack!

  Haha, 2000 gold coins! I believe that even if the arrogant and hateful heaven gathered all the money from every player, it still wouldn't be this much. From now on, I've made up my mind - even if I can't become the strongest player in the game, I'll definitely become the richest one!

  Took out 1500 gold coins and put them in the trading station, now the ratio of gold coins to RMB is 1:30. The official has not yet opened the gold coin exchange system, players who want gold coins can only buy from other players, this is a great opportunity to make money!

  Leave 500 gold coins to continue collecting materials, I don't dare to put them all in, because next there will definitely be players who will make potion scrolls one after another, and when the competition increases, there will be no profit to be made, it's better to exchange some RMB to spend.

  For a moment, I found myself like a happy profiteer!

  "Mass buying of four-leaf clover and grass fruit, 50 copper coins per piece!"

  After shouting for about a minute, people started coming to trade one after another. One of them asked, "Yesterday, the ones collecting herbs were a beautiful female swordsman and a wizard, why are they different today?"

  I smiled and said: "I'm here for a shift change!"

  I shouted in Tianfeng City for about an hour, then ran to Yinying City, Feihu City and Cai Guang City to collect, spending more than three hours of my time. Finally, I exchanged all 500 gold coins for herbs, made them into life recovery potions and magic recovery potions in one breath, leaving a thousand bottles of each to level up, and threw the rest into the trading post. Now I just need to wait for a while to collect the money!

  I had just finished equipping myself and was about to leave the city to level up when someone called out to me:

  "Are you the Carefree Swordsman? I'd like to discuss a business proposition with you!"
