the only savior

Chapter 935 Fox's Visit
The potion of Kabran's Alchemy Workshop has become popular in the King City of Tarata. Although it has only been trial-sold for two days, the feedback received is indeed surprisingly good.

Although it is undeniable that these medicines all have side effects of one kind or another, and the effects of side effects are indeed a bit disgusting.

But who are these mercenaries?

Each one is a character with his head tied to his waistband all day long.

For them, there is really little difference whether there is such a degree of side effects.

As long as these improved medicines are not weak in potency, or have disadvantages that can harm the root, then a little problem can't be regarded as a side effect at all.

What if it smells bad, what if you fart if you drink it, even if you lose your hair, it's better than losing your life.

The basic price of the medicine produced by the alchemist is more than one silver coin, which is enough for an ordinary civilian family to live for a month.

For these mercenaries, most of the time they couldn't afford alchemy potions, and they were only willing to prepare such a bottle when they were performing truly dangerous missions.

If the potions were not opened when they came back after completing the mission, they would even sell these potions to their peers in the special mercenary market in exchange for some coins to update their equipment.

This is the life of a low-level mercenary. Every money must be calculated carefully, and there is no room for waste.

Therefore, after the appearance of Fang Yi, the potion of Kabran's alchemy workshop was fully sought after by everyone.

No way, who wants others to sell it so cheaply.

As long as the price is easy to say, then some small problems are not considered problems at all.

……

Zhang Xiaoman has also received sales feedback in the past two days, and he is quite surprised that these potions are so popular.

But after listening to Iffy's explanation, he also understood it in his heart.

It seems that the life of these low-level mercenaries is not easy.

This reminded him of the bounty hunters on Water Blue Planet.

Maybe those people are very mysterious and free in the eyes of ordinary people. They can get hundreds of thousands or millions of rewards for just one task, and then enjoy themselves for a while.

It's just a pity that this is a bridge in the movie.

In fact, the jobs of those bounty hunters are not as wonderful as people think.

They spend all day in deep mountains and old forests performing missions, or taking them to protect an employer in a small backward country. They don’t even have a game for entertainment on weekdays. Life is miserable, and even the pay is pitiful.

Zhang Xiaoman had known with Weiss and the others from the wildfire team before. According to the normal task income, the employment task of a bodyguard is only tens of thousands of yuan at best.

After it was over, I was desperate and running around. In the end, the money had to be divided equally with several people in the team, which was not enough at all.

Therefore, this is also the reason why many people immediately choose to join after learning about the Wildfire Tavern.

Compared with the life of those bounty hunters who ate their last meal and never finished their meal, they can enter the warm wildfire tavern, receive lucrative bounty tasks, and even get the opportunity to lead to the extraordinary.

Even the opponents he meets are stronger, but all the dangers are nothing compared to the enticing rewards.

These thoughts appeared in Zhang Xiaoman's mind, and Zhang Xiaoman began to secretly ponder whether he should also develop the Wildfire Tavern into this universe.

It has been half a month since the bounty mission was released. After gathering intelligence over the past few days, he found that people in this world have absolutely no understanding of interdimensional rifts.

The task has not seen any progress. Obviously, there may be no way to find the dimensional crack for a while.

Even thinking about the problem a little more seriously, maybe there are no cracks in this world at all?

After all, this is a fusion between two universes. Although dimensional cracks will appear, there is no guarantee that there will be one on every planet.

According to Nefaya, dimensional cracks may appear frequently only in areas where certain fusion positions are relatively active, such as Water Blue Star...

In most other places, let alone a single planet, or even an entire galaxy, a dimensional rift may not appear.

If this is really the case, Zhang Xiaoman can foresee that he will not be able to go back for a long time.

Maybe in the end, it will take hundreds of days of lottery to collect the stardust that can plant the branches of the world tree before they have the opportunity to leave this planet and return to the first universe.

In that case, it may be more than a year at the fastest, or several years at the slowest.

Therefore, it seems that it is not impossible to establish one's own organization here.

Anyway, even if he went back in the end, the connection with this planet would definitely not be interrupted.

At that time, as long as he opens the door under the tree, the wildfire tavern here can be integrated into the wildfire department, which can be regarded as an advance layout for future exploration.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but start to think about how the establishment of the Wildfire Tavern should be carried out.

After all, there is already an extremely large mercenary union in this world. If you simply compete with them for business, you will definitely not be able to. You must use some other attractive means.

"By the way, alchemy potion!"

Zhang Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

He thought of the alchemy potions he had recently researched.

"As long as I concentrate all my authorizations on the Wildfire Tavern, I won't have to worry about no mercenaries coming to buy them."

Recently, in order to promote his potion, he authorized some of the formulas to several alchemy workshops in the city, which received a very good response.

Zhang Xiaoman decided to keep the new recipe a secret when he really started to build the Wildfire Tavern, and then use this as a condition to let all the alchemy workshops cooperate with his tavern, and naturally he can win a large number of allies.

Moreover, the conflict between the Wildfire Tavern and the Mercenary Union will not be too great.

The Wildfire Tavern only accepts bounty hunters, and most of the quests in it are self-published.

Unlike the mercenary union, where they can pick up any job, anyone can issue missions, assassinations, rewards, all kinds of things.

To Zhang Xiaoman, this point is somewhat inconceivable.

Hanging a person's bounty task there openly, if the planet where he lived before was changed, someone would retaliate and take the old nest together in a minute.

It may be that the personal force in this world is too strong, and ordinary people have no way to resist.

With the help of those top experts in the mercenary union, no one can really take over their lairs.

But Zhang Xiaoman didn't like this kind of situation very much, and even had some resentment.

The mercenaries accept the mission, no matter what kind of person the mission target is, just for their own commission, they directly kill the other party to earn rewards.

In his eyes, this is no different from killing people in the street without a bottom line.

It is also difficult for him to understand why such an organization exists today.

But in any case, these things have nothing to do with themselves.

The mercenary union was able to grow so strong, naturally, there were reasons of its own.

Worldview, culture, social structure, level of prosperity, etc., are all factors that have made it all what it is today.

He has no intention of changing these things, but at least he can't join forces with others. The Wildfire Tavern has its own bottom line.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and it was the alchemy tutor he invited, Iffy, who came in.

"Mr. Polar Star, I'm back!"

As soon as the girl entered the door, she ran over cheering and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Zhang Xiaoman was infected by her smile, and his mood improved a lot.

"What's the matter, is there any good news from the alchemy workshop?"

The girl found a stool and sat down, shaking the bag of coins in her hand with a "crash".

Zhang Xiaoman looked at her curiously, and said with a smile:

"With such a big bag of money, it seems that you have gained a lot today."

"Hey, this is the money I earned today. Although it's not mine, it's the first time I've made so much money by selling alchemy potions!"

As Yifei said, she handed over the money bag, and Zhang Xiaoman took it and opened it to have a look. Inside was a lot of silver coins, and occasionally one or two gold coins could be seen.

"Mr. Polar Star, I have already exchanged all the money into coins of the largest denomination as possible. There are a total of three gold coins and 25 silver coins here. After subtracting the cost of our refining medicine, we have earned a gold coin of fifteen today." silver!"

There are stars in her eyes, and she looks like a money fanatic.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't feel much about it, and to be honest, he didn't like this little money at all.

However, in order not to dampen the girl's enthusiasm, he still encouraged her and said:

"You have done a good job. It seems that it is a wise choice to entrust this matter to you. Don't worry, as long as you do well, you will have a share of the Alchemy Workshop's shares."

Zhang Xiaoman casually drew a big cake for her.

But what he said was indeed true. Anyway, for him, he definitely didn't have time to take care of these things.

Now that there is such a high-ranking alchemist girl to help me, it is natural that the other party's benefits are indispensable.

Of course, Yi Fei was also very happy to be smashed by this pie.

Ever since she lost her parents and became an orphan, she has suffered a lot, and the spoiled childhood problems have also been corrected during that time.

Iffy likes alchemy very much and knows some spells.

Her ultimate goal is to become a legendary alchemist like Master Brin one day.

The small goal is to make money through the alchemy that you have learned, and of course the more money you have, the better.

Now, Zhang Xiaoman's appearance made her see the hope of realizing her dream, so how can this not be exciting.

"By the way, Mr. Jixing, a big client came to our alchemy workshop today. I have made an appointment for him to meet you here in the afternoon according to your prior instructions. It seems that the time will be here soon."

Yifei revealed another reason for her visit.

In order to promote their improved medicine, Zhang Xiaoman allowed Yi Fei to bring some big clients who are interested in cooperation to meet him here.

However, there have never been any clients of sufficient importance before, they were all the owners of some small alchemy workshops, and there was no need for him to interview them at all, just hand them over to Yifei to deal with.

In addition to teaching him alchemy, Yi Fei is also his assistant here, responsible for all matters related to alchemy.

Zhang Xiaoman entrusted her to open the Kabulan Alchemy Workshop, and the name was also given by the girl, anyway Zhang Xiaoman didn't like to name it.

"I see. By the way, I still need someone to help me with an experiment here. The potions in your alchemy workshop are sold out anyway, so just stay and help me complete the experiment."

Zhang Xiaoman said.

"Okay, Mr. Jixing, I will fully cooperate with you."

Iffy nodded seriously.

One thing neither of them noticed was that in this room now, their teaching relationship seemed to have been reversed unconsciously.

If someone who doesn't know the inside story sees him, he might think that Zhang Xiaoman is the mentor and Yifei is his apprentice.

……

At the same time, it is located outside the reception area of ​​the Mercenary Union.

Two figures in robes got off a luxurious carriage and came to the manor where Zhang Xiaoman was.

"Is this the place where the Mercenary Union used to entertain your Excellency? The environment is not bad."

The purple-robed old man in the lead looked around and praised in a flattering way.

"Teacher, wait a moment, I'll go and tell the people inside to open the door."

Beside him, a middle-aged man bowed and saluted, and then walked towards the gate of the manor.

The people who came were Fox, the president of the Iron Furnace Chamber of Commerce, and Ogmundu, the vice president.

"Shh!"

Ogmondu didn't take two steps, but a figure suddenly appeared, blocking his way.

"Ogmundu, why are you here again!"

The man had a loud voice, a burly physique, a shiny mithril armor, and an astonishing aura. He looked like a super strong man.

"Bruce!"

When Ogmundu saw the person coming, the expression on his face changed slightly.

This is the person who stopped him earlier, a seventh-rank fighter known as "War Mad".

There is a very good saying in the city of Tarata, that is, you can offend an eighth-rank grand master, and don't offend Bruce from the mercenary union.

Although there are many exaggerated elements in this sentence, it can also reflect Bruce's character from the side.

Because this battle mad nickname is not for nothing, almost anytime, anywhere, for any reason, can be his reason to challenge you.

In the eyes of people who know Bruce, this guy is simply a fighting maniac.

Therefore, even in the mercenary union, he has no friends.

Although Ogmundu is also a seventh-rank powerhouse, he really doesn't want to provoke this battle madman.

I heard that this guy is particularly fond of stalking, and almost none of the people he targets can live in peace.
