Chapter 35: Taking It Personally

  "I don't have anything to give you, just these few medicine bottles...". After the people from the Storm Mercenary Group had left, Lin Chen took out a few bottles of medicine from his own bag and handed them over to the warrior, saying that no matter what, since they helped him in the middle, he couldn't let them work for nothing.

  "What is this? High-grade attack potion? This is a slowing potion? This is a paralysis potion?" The warrior's eyes widened as he stared at the dozen or so bottles in his hand, exclaiming in shock.

  Medicines are expensive, but medicines with different effects also have different prices. In fact, the cheapest ones among medicines are restorative medicines, such as sedatives and therapeutic medicines.

  Of course, the most expensive ones are special effect potions, such as slow-down potions that reduce enemy movement speed, attack potions that increase attack power, and defense potions that increase defense...

  Various special medicines can exert unbelievable power in specific situations, so among the types of medicines, sedatives and therapeutic agents are the most common.

  For an excellent pharmacist, although the level determines ability, pharmacists of the same level also have their strengths and weaknesses. The most basic one is naturally the efficacy ratio of the medicine. Even if it's the same level and the same type of medicine, the efficacy will differ. Therefore, a pharmacist with better efficacy is naturally stronger.

  However, the competition among pharmacists of the same level is not only about the efficacy of the medicine, but also about the variety of medicines you can refine.

  Sedatives and treatment potions are almost a must for all potion makers, but apart from these two, the more special potions you can learn, the more kinds of potions you can refine, the stronger your ability will be. Especially some rare auxiliary potions, which are what everyone is eager to get.

  For example, for archers, exciting rapid potions, accurate potions, and attack potions for warriors.

  Various occupations in various situations, different medicines can play a huge role, so to speak. Some special auxiliary medicines are the most expensive among all kinds of medicines, especially some rare and highly effective ones, which are priceless.

  Let's not mention anything else, just the legendary forbidden magic potion that Lin Chen brought with him when he crossed over. Below level 100, it is prohibited to cast magic for 3600 seconds. This potion can be said to be the nightmare of all mages. Even if you are a ninth-level king-level mage, under this forbidden magic potion, you will have to surrender.

  "No way, these medicines are too expensive, I can't accept them..." Looking at the dozen or so bottles of various auxiliary medicines in his hand, this warrior was tempted but also dared not to take them, as they were truly too precious.

  "Alright, take it, I'm not used to taking back things I've given away...", Lin Chen said nonchalantly, waving his hand and refusing to take it back no matter what.

  "Alright, since that's the case, then thank you...". Looking at Lin Chen's appearance, this warrior also understood. Although these medicinal pellets were precious to him, for Lin Chen, they were just a matter of spending some time refining them. So he didn't pretend anymore and nodded his head, putting away the medicinal pellets.

  Gave some medicine to let the warrior leave, Lin Chen also counted as returning his favor. This is turning around and looking at the archer who stayed behind, taking out the extremely hot medicine he had prepared last night.

  "This is a highly potent medicine...", Lin Chen said to the archer, pulling out a bottle of highly potent medicine after letting the archers stay.

  However, looking at the extremely hot medicine, the archer's face showed some awkward expression, and he said somewhat embarrassedly: "That, sorry, I don't want to trade anymore..."

  "What's going on?" Lin Chen raised an eyebrow without a trace of expression, "Will you tell me the reason?"

  "I originally wanted to use the super-hot medicine to let the centurion spare our captain, but just last night, after he got a large sum of money, he bought a dose of super-hot medicine for himself...", said the archer with a look of distress on his face.

  "Huh……", Lin Chen was also stunned upon hearing this, and then secretly smiled wryly. He hadn't expected that the centurion who was to be bribed by the archer would be the same one from just now. Since that centurion had tens of thousands of gold coins on him, it wasn't strange that he would take a cut for himself to buy an extremely expensive medicine.

  "Ah, as expected, it's a five-star mission... something went wrong...", Lin Chen let out a silent sigh upon hearing that things had gone awry. A five-star mission was indeed not so easily completed.

  "Whatever, it's not like anything will happen anyway. So I'll help you rescue your captain, how about that? As a trade, you have to give me your magic tool", thinking of the skill book "Inner Strength Shield" as his mission reward, and also thinking of the dragon blade wing which was almost all related to this mission, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking up.

  "Really!?", The archer who had already given up in despair suddenly lifted his head and stared at Lin Chen with excitement.

  Although Lin Chen had always looked down on Long Rui, he was now willing to help for the sake of Long Rui. This made the archer a little puzzled, but as long as he could rescue his captain, that was all that mattered. As for Long Rui's affairs, he didn't care at all.

  "Well, it's settled then. Since we've decided to give it to my brother as a gift, I must get it in hand. Besides, you're just a team captain, shouldn't your centurion still give me some face?" Lin Chen nodded slightly, with a somewhat explanatory tone.

  "Thanks a lot! As long as you can help me rescue the captain, the thing is yours!", The archer didn't care why Lin Chen wanted to do this. What he cared about was that his captain could be rescued, and as for Long Blade Wing, he didn't put it in his heart. After all, it was something that needed the blood of the dragon clan to activate, and he wouldn't be able to use it in his lifetime anyway.

  "Alright, you go out and wait for me first, I'll get ready and head out...", the matter was settled, Lin Chen nodded and said, as he turned around and went back into his room.

  Xia Lu, who had been watching from the side for so long, also followed Lin Chen upstairs. As for Yatse, it's even more unnecessary to mention him. As a follower, he should fulfill his responsibilities as a follower. What is a follower? It mainly lies in the word "follow".

  Actually, Lin Chen didn't have anything to prepare, he just needed to find an opportunity to hand over the matter to Xia Lu. Back in his own room, Lin Chen said apologetically to Xia Lu: "You see, I've got something that's holding me back, I need to take care of this first before I can leave".

  "Nothing, you go deal with your own things, my brother has also waited for over a decade, it won't make a difference in just a few days," Lin Chen said. Xia Lu naturally understood what he meant and hastily waved her hand, saying that although she was eager to return, since Lin Chen had matters to attend to, she must wait as well. After all, on this journey, Lin Chen's help to her had been too great.

  "En, thank you for understanding...", Lin Chen smiled and said with a nod, although he didn't need to explain himself in the first place. After all, whether Xia Lu stayed or left had nothing to do with him, and he could have just stayed behind alone to slowly take care of things. As for Xia Lu? If she couldn't wait, then she could leave first - it had nothing to do with Lin Chen.

  However, since I promised to accompany her to the Imperial City, this is a commitment. For commitments, one must execute them seriously, even if I didn't need to apologize in the first place. This is a matter of principle, it's an attitude problem, and this is also a condition that professional players must possess. If you don't take other people's matters seriously, will they easily hand over their equipment to you?

  It's precisely because of this that the big shots in "Tianxu" are willing to pay first and then wait for Lin Chen to deliver equipment, medicine and other items. This is because Lin Chen has a good reputation and handles matters carefully...
