Chapter 73
[Dragon Tiger Gate], Golden BOSS!
Before leaving, Jiang Yan left 50,000 gold coins in the shop to buy herbs for refining primary blood pills, demon pills, and blood demon pills.
He originally wanted to buy directly from the femme fatale, but he was worried that getting too involved would affect the independence of the [Black Heart Pharmacy], so he simply let the alchemy prodigy buy from the players himself!
"Boss, there's one last thing!" The alchemy prodigy suddenly called out to Jiang Yan, asking, "What price do we sell the low-level Blood Pills and Demon Pills for? One gold coin?"
1 gold coins?
Jiang Yan shook his head vigorously. At such a low price, how long would it take him to repay his ten million loan?
"Four gold coins, I guess," Jiang Yan said.
Other pharmacies sell it for 5 gold coins, but he sells it for 4 gold coins. His conscience is already much better!
He believes this price is enough to attract a large number of individual players and major guilds!
The alchemy prodigy blinked his clear eyes, thinking to himself that his boss was indeed a boss, and would surely become a big capitalist in the future!
"Alright, then we'll officially open for business in three days!" Jiang Yan set the date.
The alchemy prodigy nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, boss, I will refine all the herbs into basic Blood Pills and basic Demon Pills within three days!"
"You also need to rest, don't suddenly die." Jiang Yan was a little worried about the alchemy prodigy's health, and said, "It would be best to just buy a game pod! You can use the gold coins in the store for now."
"Thank you, boss!" The alchemy prodigy felt another surge of gratitude!
After Jiang Yan left, the alchemy prodigy immediately used the shop manager's authority to renovate the shop's decor according to pharmacy standards, and set aside a rest room and an alchemy room.
Next, the alchemy prodigy posted a notice at the shop entrance, offering to wholesale herbs for refining basic Blood Pills, basic Magic Pills, and basic Blood-Magic Pills at prices slightly higher than the market price!
Then, the alchemist hired a low-level NPC through his shop to be in charge of purchasing herbs, stipulating that there were 27 kinds of herbs, and the maximum purchase limit for each kind was 1,000 gold.
Having completed everything, the alchemy prodigy entered the alchemy room and began refining pills!
The Black Heart Pharmacy was quickly discovered by players in Fuxi City.
It all started because of the GG (Gold Rider) outside the pharmacy. In the game "Peak", there are a lot of players who are not good at combat but specialize in life professions. They gather herbs and mine, and sell herbs and ores to various guilds, which has led to the creation of countless gold farming guilds!
Therefore, these people are extremely sensitive to the purchase price of herbs.
"It's 10% more expensive than the market price." After discovering this, Shennong Reincarnated immediately went inside to verify whether it was real or fake.
"Welcome! Our shop currently only accepts herbs," the NPC mechanically announced. "The official opening will be in three days. We welcome you then."
Opening in three days?
Shennong reborn, took out some herbs he had just dug up that day and said, "I'm here to sell herbs, take a look."
The NPCs strictly followed the alchemist's instructions, selecting the necessary herbs and purchasing them at a price 10% higher than the market price.
It was actually true... Upon seeing this, Shennong reborn immediately contacted his friends in the Gold Farming Guild.
Before long, a dozen or so players dressed in plain white gear arrived looking travel-worn.
"Shennong, is this the place?" the leader asked eagerly.
Recently, all the major guilds have been squeezing these gold farming guilds. They've brought out all their usual stockpiles because they can sell them at high prices here!
"Go and sell them quickly," Shennong reborn said with a smile.
More than ten members of the gold-farming team immediately entered the "Black Heart Pharmacy".
Half a minute later, they came out satisfied: "This 'Heartless Tang' Pharmacy isn't heartless at all; it's clearly a 'Conscience Tang' Pharmacy!"
"Let's go, let's continue gathering. I have a feeling this place will soon be discovered by others." Shennong Reincarnated waved his hand and led his brothers to the wild to quickly gather herbs.
……
On the other end.
Deep in the macaque forest.
Jiang Yan originally intended to head to the Hundred Flowers Valley instance to continue farming experience and Chain Lightning skill experience, but halfway there, he discovered that there were other players there!
This group of twenty people were all dressed in a mix of bronze and silver armor, and their movements were skillful and their technique was superb. They were clearly not ordinary players!
After observing for a while, Jiang Yan spotted an old acquaintance in the crowd!
"A dragon roaming the world, a tiger roaring in the mountains?" Jiang Yan's heart sank slightly.
He had rushed here several times before, and anyone with common sense would be able to guess that the Hundred Flowers Valley instance must be in this area.
Jiang Yan's mind raced, but instead of immediately showing himself, he quietly followed.
This group has a perfect team composition: a magic archer to slow down enemies, a water mage to control them, a fire mage to deal burst damage, a tank, a swordsman, an assassin to lure monsters, and a healing priest. As a result, they can clear monsters very quickly!
They swept through the enemy lines as if they were in an empty field!
"Could it be a core player of [Dragon Tiger Gate]?" Jiang Yan frowned slightly.
He opened the game forum and searched around. He found that the [Dragon Tiger Gate] was based in Jumang City and was fighting fiercely with more than ten small guilds in the city. Logically, their core players should all be stationed in Jumang City. Why did they suddenly come to Fuxi City?
Is it for the Hundred Flowers Valley dungeon, or to kill me?
We can't exactly set up our guild here, can we?
If that's the case... Jiang Yan decided to give them a shock!
He continued to follow from a distance.
Thanks to the countless macaques chattering and making noise in the macaque forest, constantly darting between branches and vines, Jiang Yan's pursuit went very smoothly and did not attract the attention of any of the [Dragon Tiger Gate] players.
After about half an hour, the group finally reached the depths of the monkey forest.
"roar!!"
Just then, a golden macaque suddenly leaped down from a giant tree.
Monkey King (Golden BOSS): Possesses excellent dual resistances.
Rating: 17
Health: 180000
Skills: Summon, Monkey King's Roar, Throw, Berserk!
"It's a Gold Boss!!" Long Youtianxia was overjoyed: "Brothers, be careful to draw aggro!"
The others were more excited than terrified, and immediately scattered to launch a frenzied attack!
"Roar!!" The Monkey King roared immediately, launching a group attack and summoning a troop of monkeys.
"We can handle this, Priest, focus on healing!" Tiger Roaring Through the Forest stealthily moved closer, delivering a backstab and a throat slit, ruthlessly reaping the Monkey King's health.
"Our group is here to clean up the macaques!"
"Our team is responsible for slowing down and containing the enemy!"
Twenty core players worked together seamlessly, like a wound-up machine, methodically whittling down the golden BOSS's health bar.
98%!
95%!
90%!
As the health bar gradually disappeared, Long Youtianxia and the others showed excited expressions!
However, Jiang Yan, who was hiding in the shadows, was so sleepy that he kept yawning.
Is this all the core players of 【Dragon Tiger Gate】?
They're playing way too slowly!
Jiang Yan couldn't help but want to help them!
Just then, Jiang Yan saw a swordsman in the crowd suddenly roar, his thin body suddenly swelling up, charging towards the Monkey King like a small giant, and actually fighting it one-on-one!
"What is this?" Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow.
