Chapter 26: A Small Profit
"Hui Xue Dan, 70 silver coins each, I'll take them all."
Just as Ye Chen was about to trade with the player who bid 60 silver coins, a loud voice suddenly came from the outside of the crowd, and immediately a player carrying a long sword squeezed in front of Ye Chen.
It was Long Teng who had just arrived, he took a glance at the stall selling Huanxue Dan and Dali Wan, and chuckled to Ye Chen saying: "I say, Ye Chen brother, you're not being very kind, we agreed that if there's anything good, you'd think of us Long Teng, why didn't you directly call me when you had such a great item like Instant Huanxue Dan?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly: "You didn't call out, but you also knew, right?" As he spoke, he raised his head and swept a glance over the crowd. There was no one else bidding around him, not even the player who had just bid 60 silver coins, whose face was now filled with disappointment, clearly unwilling to offer a higher price.
Look at his backpack, there are 213 recovery potions. He is about to refine a higher-level instant recovery potion, so he naturally wants to sell all of these low-level ones. He then turns to Long Teng Xing and says: "There are 213 in total, are you sure you want them all?"
Long Teng Jian Xing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hastily nodded: "I want it all, I want it all. This thing is only worried about being too little, not too much. You have how much, I'll eat that much. Let's make a deal quickly, I've brought all the money."
Ye Chen heard this and a smile also appeared on his face: "Good, refreshing."
He said and opened the trading window, putting all 213 Rejuvenation Pills in it. Long Teng Xing also generously put in 150 gold coins, and after careful calculation, he even added one more coin. Ye Chen smiled slightly and clicked to confirm the transaction.
Long Teng Zhan Xing took the recovery pill and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Xia Chen brothers, thank you."
"I should thank you instead." Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, the 150 gold coins in his account made him feel great, and the smile on his face was exceptionally radiant. While smiling, he pointed to the stall's Big Power Pill and asked, "Are you guys from Longteng interested in this?"
Long Teng Jian Xing glanced at the stall's Great Strength Pill, a hint of sharpness flashing in his eyes. He gave Ye Chen a meaningful look, as if implying something: "We're interested, how could we not be? This kind of strengthening attribute medicine is rare even in the entire Lie Shan City, and only you, Ye Chen, can produce it."
"This guy probably guessed something, but Ye Chen didn't mind, smiled and said: 'Then name a price, the cost of this thing is not small, less than 50 silver coins, you don't need to speak.'"
"One coin for one, how about it? Is this price satisfactory to Brother Ye Chen?"
Long Teng Jian Xing smiled and opened the bidding, one sentence that made all the players around them who were still dissatisfied with the direct transaction shut their mouths. One gold coin for one pill, this price was astronomical for Da Li Wan, and none of them would offer a higher price.
"Satisfied, very satisfied. Then let's make the trade." Ye Chen said as he put 40 large power pills on the table, leaving 13 for himself to give to the physics department sister in his workshop. After all, this thing wasn't like a health-restoring pill, and he couldn't even refine higher-quality goods in a short amount of time. Moreover, having 10 points of strength was still very important sometimes.
The transaction is complete, and 40 gold coins have been recovered, but this time there was not much profit to be made. It was barely enough to recover the cost of the danfang's money, and even the material costs were included, but Ye Chen didn't mind too much. This kind of thing was within his expectations anyway. Since he had recovered Danfang's money, from now on, making more Daliwan would only require calculating the cost of consumables.
As an alchemist, the special elixirs of the Great Power Pill category are absolutely indispensable. Ye Chen knew very well that the intermediate and high-level Great Power Pills had extremely abnormal attributes. One intermediate Great Power Pill could increase strength by 30 points, while a high-level one could increase it by 60 points. Such things could be sold for sky-high prices, especially to those poor meat shield professions with low attack power like the Ascetic Warriors. A single high-level Great Power Pill could almost double their attack power; would they not pay any price for that?
Moreover, Ye Chen had an even more long-term plan. He intended to learn all the elixirs of the Alchemy Masters, and when he became rich in the future, he could open his own shop, monopolize the market, and definitely make a fortune.
As the two finished their transaction, the surrounding players gradually dispersed. Ye Chen also turned around to leave, but was called back by Long Teng Xing from behind: "Night Chen brother, wait a minute."
Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Long Teng Xing Xing: "Xing Xing brother, is there something else?"
Long Teng Zhan Xing chuckled and leaned in close to Ye Chen, lowering his voice: "Night-morning brother, you're hiding a secondary occupation, aren't you? Don't deny it, this Great Strength Pill is something I've never heard of any other secondary occupation being able to make, not to mention the sheer amount of medicinal pellets - you can't tell me you got them from doing quests, can you?"
Ye Chen looked up and down at Long Teng Xing, this guy had indeed guessed that he was a hidden vice profession. This kind of thing couldn't be hidden for long anyway, and there wasn't anything to hide either. In the future, when he opened his own shop, he would have to publicize it widely, so letting him know now didn't matter. He smiled and nodded: "Not bad, you guessed correctly. Is there anything else?"
Although Long Teng Jian Xing had already been certain of his conjecture in his heart, he was still surprised by Ye Chen's affirmative answer, and the smile on his face became even more radiant. He said enthusiastically: "Then from now on, you can sell all the elixirs you refine to us first, we can discuss the price, it doesn't matter if it's higher than the market price, our Long Teng is not short of money. Of course, if you are willing to join our Long Teng, I, Jian Xing, guarantee that you will be the chief alchemist of Long Teng. At that time, not only will Lie Hu Chao Xiaozi dare not bother you, but even the entire Lie Hu family will not dare to provoke you. If they do, we Long Teng will dare to go to war with them completely. And there are benefits, our Long Teng has many sisters..."
Watching Long Teng Jian Xing's solemn oath, Ye Chen smiled slightly. A hidden secondary profession was crucial to a guild's development and could absolutely make a guild surpass others in many aspects. Long Teng Jian Xing's recruitment did not surprise Ye Chen, but he couldn't truly join Long Teng because behind him were a group of sisters and a game workshop called Qing Yu.
He waved his hand to interrupt the temptation of Long Teng Xing Xing, and refused: "Forget it, I forgot to tell you, I'm not a lone ranger either, I'm a member of Qing Yu Workshop, we're also organized people, so let's just appreciate the kindness."
Long Teng Jian Xing was taken aback, sizing Ye Chen up and down, with a strange glint in his eyes: "You're from Qing Yu Workshop? The Qing Yu Workshop of Jian Cheng City? The all-female Qing Yu Workshop? Could it be... could you be the logistics staff from the legendary beautiful workshop?"
"Next, Ou." Ye Chen's eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Long Teng Xing Xing, exclaiming: "How did you know?"
