Astral Apostle Chapter 72: A path not imagined

Dozens of hunters rushed to the door of Bill's pharmacy, only a dozen hunters went in, and the others waited peacefully outside.

Zhou Jing was pretending to read the account book with only one line of words. When he saw Jason leading a group of hunters, he immediately made a surprised expression and a surprised tone:

"You are here again, why are you bringing so many people with you? Is there something wrong with yesterday's medicine?"

"No, your potion is very effective, even better than the mass-produced products produced by the Imperial Workshop." Jason said the words in a good tone.

"Really?" Zhou Jing made a face of surprise.

"That's right, this is the best pain-relieving potion I've ever drank, and I want to buy some more this time." Cole echoed from the side, and then looked at Zhou Jing with a little surprise.

He still remembered the guy who came to Jason to borrow money, and he couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

"Of course, if I didn't know pharmacy, how could I have saved Jason at that time." Zhou Jing answered fluently.

Jason nodded: "Well, I found that he was a good pharmacist at the time, so I suggested him to come to the capital."

Singing and harmonizing, things come together.

"So that's the case." Cole suddenly believed it.

The other hunters in the store looked left and right, curiously examining the potions on the shelves.

Jason just bought a bottle of hunter potion yesterday, and only distributed it to a few hunters. Not all of them drank it. Most of the people who came today were skeptical about Zhou Jing's level.

However, yesterday at the station, Jason and several hunters who had drunk it were full of praise, and they highly praised the potions here, so they made an appointment to buy them the next day.

Because of Jason's high-profile delivery, many hunters reluctantly believed it, and decided to give it a try and come over to take a look... Anyway, they are full of energy and usually have nothing to do. Guardian of the royal city.

There were dozens of hunters in groups, and even the king dared not turn a blind eye to them. At this time, there were more than a dozen guardians of the king's city closely following outside the gate.

In Tarn City, the capital of the kingdom, the relationship between the imperial hunters and the guardians of the royal city, royal family guards, etc. is not too rigid, unlike the fierce conflict between the hunters of Baiyuan City and the lord's guards, which is determined by the nature of the imperial hunters, but occasionally Also like to entertain each other.

Zhou Jing introduced the effect of the potion to everyone, and brushed his face.

Hunters are always quick to give money. Since they came, they planned to spend it. They bought pain relief potions one after another, and some people bought more than one bottle.

Some hunters even quietly bought a few bottles of energy potions.

A group of old men naturally didn't have the pleasure of shopping. They must have a target when they go out. After buying the potion, many hunters didn't stay and left in all directions.

Some people go to find women or men, some go to taverns to drink, some go to gambling stalls to do charity, and each goes to have fun.

The guardians of the royal city who came to monitor them called it a separate pursuit, but they actually took advantage of the trend. Some people walked a few streets and then showed up to hang out with the hunters they knew.

The shelves of the pharmacy were swept away, and the stock of hunter potions was reduced by a lot, but there were dozens of records in the ledger.

"This wave of income has earned two hundred and forty-seven silver coins... Hunter medicine is really a high-profit business."

Zhou Jing shook the jingling purse with great interest.

Universal potions are for the general public, and the price will not be too high, but hunters have a very strong spending power. The price of ordinary hunter potions is about three silver coins, and the price of powerful potions is generally three times the price of normal potions, which is much higher than the cost price.

If it weren't for Jason, the "big size" among the middle-level cadres of the Empire Hunter, it would be too much trouble to open up the market.

He deliberately asked Jason to come over to buy a potion and distribute it to others, in order to use Jason's network and word-of-mouth effect to bring the first batch of hunter customers.

When these hunters discover the excellent effect of the potion, they will receive customers and lead them, making their business popular, and their reputation will spread among the hunters... behind this, Jason needs to continue to fuel the flames.

In this wave, Jason brought the goods, and Zhou Jing recovered nearly half of the initial investment in learning pharmacy knowledge and preparing the pharmacy, which is really a huge profit.

Zhou Jing was doing calculations with great interest, when the residents of the royal capital watching outside saw the hunter leaving, they walked into the shop curiously, and couldn't wait to ask about the situation as soon as they entered the door.

"Boss, are those hunters coming to you to buy potions?"

"Isn't it because I got drunk and troubled you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jing made a complacent expression and said loudly:

"Those honorable hunters thought that the potion I made was very good, so they bought dozens of bottles of potion from me. Did you see how happy they were with the potion when they went out? Even the hunters said yes after using it. Don't want some?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little moved.

This is a potion certified by the hunter himself. Even the hunter went to the city to buy it. It must be a good thing. It seems that you can rest assured...

With this in mind, many surrounding residents who were watching decided to believe in Zhou Jing's level, and bought a bottle of medicine to go back and try.

When dozens of hunters entered the city together, they attracted attention on the way, and many people from other urban areas followed curiously. Seeing that the hunters were here to purchase potions, they also entered Bill Pharmacy with interest and bought some potion.

Most people are not sick at present, so they mainly sell energy potions.

The price of general medicine is not high, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and there is still a good profit. Zhou Jing will not refuse anyone who comes.

Because of the drive effect of the hunter, the pharmacy suddenly became lively, breaking the situation where there was no business a few days ago.

In the next few days, the rumors became more and more mysterious.

At the beginning, it was a novelty of "dozens of hunters collectively buying medicine", but it gradually went astray and became "the official certification of the imperial hunters that Bill's pharmacy products are excellent".

There are a lot of things happening in the capital every day, but this rumor has become a hot topic recently. It's not just the residents' psychology of watching the excitement, but also Zhou Jing quietly spending money to find children on the street. The reason why the streets and alleys are shouting about the heat.

Zhou Jing is well aware of the effect of advertisements, and even made up a simple but memorable advertisement, and taught the children to pass it on to hype his "brand".

——"Bill's pharmacy, hunters agree to use it!"

This magical sentence is known by more people, and it is catchy, and somehow remembers the name "Bill's Pharmacy".

As the matter spread more and more widely, a large number of residents of the royal capital came to hear the news, and the pharmacy changed from deserted and deserted, and customers became an endless stream.

The returning customer effect also broke out, and customers who had bought medicine before also came to the door for the second time.

These returning customers are basically for the energy potion, and this is the most popular potion.

It’s no big deal, it’s the taste of the marrow!

After all, food and **** are also sexual. In this world that lacks entertainment, the exchange of human body fluids is the greatest source of happiness.

The potion that can amplify this kind of sensory stimulation is the existence of nuclear bomb level.

Although the reputation is somewhat different from what Zhou Jing expected, the reputation of the pharmacy has indeed been established among the public at an unprecedented speed.

In less than half a month, a consensus was formed in the hearts of the residents of the capital:

——This is Wangdu No. 1 Spring Pharmacy!

With an invincible momentum, it swept away the aphrodisiac industry in the entire royal capital!

Zhou Jing also did not expect that the seemingly most troublesome life goal of the third apostle [establishing a city-level monopoly industry] was the first to be close to success.

This time, it really is an unimaginable path.

Business is booming, and a large number of customers come to ask for medicine every day, and the threshold is almost broken.

Not only ordinary people buy it, but many blood relatives and court ministers have heard about the daimyo, and secretly sent people to purchase the energy potion, and specially asked not to mention it as much as possible.

Because the traffic is full every day, there is a team of guards patrolling nearby to maintain law and order.

Zhou Jing had a wink, and gave the guards some energy potions for free. These guards were deeply moved, not only helping to maintain order, but even helping him solicit customers, and even more guards became loyal customers of the pharmacy.

There is a huge demand every day, and Zhou Jing can't make it by himself, and the energy potion is out of stock every day.

In the high-intensity potion production, the knowledge of pharmacy increased rapidly, and quickly reached the level of Lv5 instinct.

At this stage, he is already considered an elite pharmacist, and with [Pharmacist] talent and [Item Analysis Function], his level of making potions is comparable to that of a master.

The third apostle, Bill, also became famous in the capital in a subtle way...

Known as the master of aphrodisiacs!

Zhou Jing doesn't mind at all, Lu Ziye is fine, a bad name is a name too.

However, he also heard some bad rumors. It seems that some colleagues despise him, a guy who makes "aphrodisiacs", and express their disdain on many occasions.

It may be difficult to enter the Imperial Workshop with this kind of fame.

But Zhou Jing didn't care, what he really bet on was the hunter potion, the hunter group is the real authoritative reputation, just waiting for someone to see his improved formula and amazing pharmaceutical level inside through the appearance.

Pharmaceutical stores are making a lot of money every day, and Zhou Jing earns a lot of money, but it also brings troubles. Many businessmen in the capital are jealous of this hugely profitable potion, and come to seek cooperation, and some people want to buy the formula.

Zhou Jing refused all of them, and he didn't really want to make money.

Although he has gained fame, the vain and shameless reputation of "Master of Aphrodisiacs" is not enough to become a talisman.

Money touches people's hearts. As an "outsider", he is naturally targeted.

…

At night, in a dark alleyway, five masked men leaned against the shadows, talking in low voices.

"I've already inquired, that Bill who makes aphrodisiacs will walk this way home every day, and when he comes, we will tie him up and ask about the formula of that potion." With a dagger in his hand, his tone was gloomy.

Some people are worried: "What if the formula of Bill's energy potion is not changed, but simply made well?"

"Impossible, I asked the pharmacist, he must have changed the formula." The leader replied decisively, after thinking for a while, he said coldly: "But it's not important, let's take him away and go to a city farther away , Let him make potions for us and make a fortune!"

Everyone nodded excitedly.

They are a local gang of street gangsters in Wangdu who live in dirty shantytowns. They usually move around in various urban areas to do small crimes, such as stealing things, burglary, and robbing passers-by. They are often struggling with food and clothing.

This time, I took the risk and sneaked into the safe and secure Huolu District to commit crimes, just to do this big ticket.

The business of Bill's pharmacy is so prosperous, but the boss is just a foreigner and a frail pharmacist...

They feel that if they don't do it, it's a waste of the opportunity to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

"I heard that Bill has a good relationship with a certain hunter, is there a problem?" Someone thought of this and couldn't help asking.

"What are you afraid of? After finishing this vote, we will go out to avoid the limelight. It is useless for him to know anyone."

The leader doesn't care.

At this moment, a figure came from the distance of the street, followed by a dog, it was Zhou Jing.

"Come here!"

The little gang was refreshed and held their breath, waiting for the target to approach.

One step, two steps, one step, two steps... Zhou Jing gradually approached this alley.

"Up!"

The leader's eyes flashed, he drew his dagger and rushed out.

Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to cover Zhou Jing's mouth, and put the dagger on Zhou Jing's neck.

"Be honest, don't... poof!"

Before the leading words were finished, a fist appeared head-on.

Boom!

The nose broke instantly, as if a sauce shop had been opened, and the sour, spicy, and bitter all burst open in the cranial cavity.

"Ah!" The leader screamed with a headache, and squatted down covering his bleeding nose.

However, the next moment, his eyes met with Xiao Hei No. 1.

Xiao Hei No. 1 tilted his head, his eyes fell on the person's crotch, and he fell into deep thought.

Squatting down with your legs spread apart, isn't this the meaning of welcome to taste?

Take it out!

"Ahhh——"

The screams tore through the night sky!

The accomplices following behind had just rushed out of the alley when they saw a tragic scene.

The leader's nose was broken, covered in blood, and he fell to the ground. A hyena bit his crotch and tore it forcefully. The blood splashed everywhere, and half of the ham and eggs were dragged off.

"Hiss——"

Several accomplices gasped subconsciously, empathizing with each other, and their lower body was also aching.

At this moment, dense footsteps suddenly sounded from the surrounding alleys, and a dozen guards rushed out. Without saying a word, they knocked down several accomplices who were still in a daze, and tied them up expertly.

The captain of the guard walked up to Zhou Jing, looked at the leading kidnapper who was clutching his crotch and howling, and couldn't help but shudder.

A man's pain resonates too much.

"Brother Bill, leave this group of people to us."

"Thank you everyone, come to my store tomorrow, and I will invite you to buy a batch of energy potions as a thank you."

"Hey." The captain of the guard rubbed his hands and smiled.

Zhou Jing just kicked Xiao Hei No. 1 to stop chewing, it hurts a lot.

He glanced at the group of enemies and rolled his eyes secretly.

This is already the sixth wave of kidnappers encountered recently, and there are too many people who want to catch him and make a fortune.

Zhou Jing deliberately built a good relationship with the guards. Every time he went home, he escorted them. The reward was energy potions, and occasionally he would treat him to a meal. Naturally, the guards didn't mind earning some extra money before the curfew patrol.

After all, I am a frail pharmacist now, so I am ashamed to kill all the kidnappers.

"I'm considered a low-level person now, and I haven't been recognized. When I enter the Imperial Workshop and have an official identity as an amulet, this situation should not happen." Zhou Jing secretly planned.

…

Imperial hunter station, workshop.

A routine meeting is being held, and the participants are all the heads of various departments of the workshop, reporting the latest output and consumption.

The senior management of the workshop looked at the ledger list, and soon found an abnormality, and was a little puzzled: "Why have so many pain relief potions been hoarded recently? Isn't this a very commonly used potion? Why didn't hunters come to get it?"

Speaking, everyone looked at the person in charge of the hunter potion department.

The person in charge shook his head helplessly: "I asked, the hunters have all gone to a pharmacy in Wangdu to buy this kind of potion recently, but no one wants the potion produced by our workshop."

"Is there such a thing?" The senior management of the workshop was a little stunned.

They are workshops dedicated to the hunters of the empire. Logically speaking, all the materials used by hunters are provided by them, and the quality has always been guaranteed.

Especially hunter potion, they have a gathering of elites here, and the products are excellent, hunters don't need to go to other places to buy them.

Nowadays, hunters choose other people but not their own workshops, as if they are being compared by others. Doesn't this seem that the workshops are negligent?

The upper management of the workshop was a little embarrassed, and said in a deep voice:

"Tell me about the situation."

The person in charge had expected it a long time ago, and replied:

"Some time ago, a pharmacist named Bill appeared in the capital. He opened a shop and only sold three kinds of potions, one of which was pain relief potion. Hunters used it and said it was good.

However, what he mainly focuses on is an aphrodisiac, which is a modified formula of energy potion, which makes people more sensitive. I use... cough, I have studied it, and the effect is very good, so it has become popular in the capital recently, and the business is quite good. "

"Aphrodisiac?" The corner of the workshop leader's mouth twitched.

Hey guy, our professional hunter workshop, the research institute of the empire, was actually compared by a person who makes aphrodisiacs?

This is not slapping my face, this is slapping the royal family's ass!

His expression was complicated: "Then, have you researched his pain relief medicine?"

The person in charge suddenly became energetic, nodded and said:

"His pain relief potion has also improved the formula, and the production level is very high. I have personally visited his pharmacy and found that there are many powerful potions in his store. He probably has very superb potion making skills. "

"So this is a powerful pharmacist." The high-level workshop's eyes lit up, thought for a while, and said: "Well, let's send someone to investigate and see his level. If possible, invite him He joined Imperial Workshop~IndoMTL.com~ Others who didn't speak were taken aback.

"But he is an aphrodisiac, his reputation..." Someone couldn't help but question.

The upper management of the workshop waved their hands and said with a smile:

"It's not important to make aphrodisiacs. It's just a business chosen by others. Facts have proved that it does make money. Don't be blinded by this appearance.

What is really important is that he can improve the formula of the hunter's potion and get the approval of the hunter... I don't know how many potions the hunter has drank in his life. A pharmacist who can be praised by the hunter must have a good level. Such a talent , can't let go! "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although they felt a little awkward, they still did not object.

The upper management of the workshop nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

...It's too embarrassing to be compared to a folk who makes aphrodisiacs. It's better to "recruit" this person as much as possible and make him "one of us".
