Chapter 30: A Way to Make Money

  The small town was still quite lively in the late afternoon, with the sunset's afterglow shining on it. The silhouettes of mercenaries and adventurers carrying magic wands, large swords, and axes came and went, making Lin Chen feel pretty good.

  Although there are no cars, no computers, and no technological products here, at least the feudal society has aura, magic, and most importantly, self-upgrade...

  "Right, I want to buy some materials to craft equipment, but I don't have any money now?" As he walked on the road, Lin Chen thought about buying materials to craft equipment for himself and immediately thought of his financial situation again. Since coming to this world until now, he hadn't even earned a single copper coin...

  "Hey, brother...", just as Lin Chen was walking with Ares on the street of the small town, heading towards that little boy while thinking about how to make money, suddenly Lin Chen saw someone pat his shoulder and a somewhat familiar voice rang out.

  Turning his head around, Lin Chen was taken aback to see the person behind him, only to realize that it was the warrior who had been chased by the Flame Wolf King in the Sunset Forest.

  "Oh, hello, what a coincidence!" Lin Chen said with a smile as he looked at the man. Although he didn't even know the other person's name, they had at least fought side by side before and had also pointed out to him how to find the Tempering Flower.

  "Is this your pet?" The warrior asked in surprise, pointing at Yatse as Lin Chen turned his head around.

  A level-four monster, the Fire Lizard, this pet isn't something that just anyone can have. After all, this warrior was only a primary third-level warrior, but this Fire Lizard was a fourth-level monster, belonging to the same rank as the Flame Wolf King that had chased and killed him back then.

  "Ah, recently acquired", hearing the warrior's words, Lin Chen smiled and nodded, then immediately changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on Yate's body anymore. On the other hand, he indeed needed to ask his opponent a question, so he asked: "I'm short of money lately, do you know how to make money quickly here?"

  "Make money the fastest?" Hearing Lin Chen's words, this warrior stared at Lin Chen in surprise, clearly not understanding how someone who could casually take out high-level healing potions and own a fourth-level magical beast pet would be short of money.

  However, the warrior did not ask any questions and simply replied: "The fastest way to make money is naturally selling potions or equipment, as equipment and potions are always the most expensive things in the world."

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to this point, the warrior paused slightly, also knowing that potions and equipment aren't easily obtained, especially high-quality ones. So he continued: 'Apart from these two points, there's the bounty missions, which can be taken at the Mercenary Guild. Of course, if you're an assassin or similar profession, taking on some assassination-type tasks is also a quick way to make money. And then...'"

  "Alright...", hearing this was enough, Lin Chen waved his hand to interrupt the warrior and said: "I have a batch of healing potions and calming medicines here, they are all high-quality, I wonder how can I exchange them for money?"

  "Are they all high-quality ones!?". Upon hearing this, the warrior's eyes lit up and said: "High-quality potions are absolutely something that all mercenaries would fight to get their hands on. You know, currently on the market, ordinary healing potions and calming potions are 10 gold coins per bottle. If it's high-quality healing potions and calming potions, I think they can sell for over 100 gold coins."

  "Huh? The difference between ordinary and superior is this big?" Lin Chen was surprised, although the price of a superior potion was higher than an ordinary one, that was to be expected. However, the tenfold difference in price still shocked him - an ordinary potion only cost 10 gold coins, while a superior one required 100?

  "That goes without saying! The price of potions is expensive! Of course, no one wants to use them casually! When it comes to the time when they need to be used, that's the crucial moment for survival. High-grade potions are much more expensive than ordinary ones, after all, when you need to use a potion, the better the potion, the greater the guarantee of life." The warrior replied, looking at Lin Chen's surprised expression, and Lin Chen nodded in agreement.

  In this world, healing potions are expensive, so they're not used unless absolutely necessary. However, when the time comes to use them, it's only natural that higher-quality potions are preferred. As a result, the high-grade potions have become extremely popular among these bloodthirsty mercenaries who can't get enough of them.

  "I have a batch of high-quality medicinal herbs in my hand, but I don't know how to convert them into gold coins. I thought of making money from it, but Lin Chen didn't know how to sell them out after all, for business, having good things is not enough, you also need sales channels."

  "How many potions do you have on hand? If it's suitable, I still know some mercenaries, if I pass this message to them, they should be able to afford it." The warrior hesitated for a moment after hearing Lin Chen's words and asked.

  "I have a hundred doses of high-grade healing medicine and a hundred doses of tranquilizing medicine," Lin Chen said after a brief moment of silence.

  "One hundred portions!?!", his eyes widened in shock, the warrior stared at Lin Chen, then seemed to think of something and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that brother you are an elite-level pharmacist!?"

  Not bad, apart from the pharmacist himself, who can take out 200 high-quality medicines in one breath? No wonder this warrior thought so.

  He had originally wanted to deny it, but Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. Anyway, he would have to take out some medicine sooner or later. Moreover, this time selling medicine would definitely attract attention to himself. Rather than letting others speculate, it was better to take on the title of an excellent pharmacist.

  "Whoa, such a young and excellent pharmacist?", although there were such speculations, but when Lin Chen acknowledged it, the warrior took a cold breath and muttered to himself.

  Top-grade pharmacists are not unheard of, but those who reach this level are usually core members of the Pharmacists' Guild and mostly in their thirties or forties. Someone like Lin Chen, a top-grade pharmacist in his early twenties, is extremely rare, as most people strive to become an ordinary pharmacist.

  Listening to Lin Chen and the warrior's conversation, Yatse, who was standing behind Lin Chen, secretly rolled his eyes in disgust, thinking to himself: What a joke? A Supreme-level pharmacist pretending to be a Tenderfoot... still pretending to be an Excellent-level pharmacist...

  "Since you're a top-notch pharmacist, this is going to be easy! I'll get in touch with some mercenary groups, they should be more than happy to take on this batch of goods! After all, such a large quantity of top-notch medicine is hard to come by!" The warrior nodded and said, still looking shocked that Lin Chen had admitted to being a top-notch pharmacist.

  He then made an appointment with Lin Chen to go to the inn tomorrow morning to make a purchase, and this warrior hastily left to help Lin Chen practice buying. Not to mention the benefits of maintaining a good relationship with a top-notch pharmacist, even if Lin Chen had saved his life last time, he would be happy to help Lin Chen with this matter.
