Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 47: Abnormal people and potions (asking for monthly votes, recommended votes)

While everyone in the black market was in a state of revelry because of the treasures produced by these ruins, the duo in trench coats in the corner shop watched all this quietly.

 They are members of the Umbrella Organization and obviously have access to more top-secret intelligence.

 Seeing these ancient relics, the young man naturally guessed the origin of the things.

 He asked: "Boss, are these the things that were robbed by the Hong Ge Wilderness Hunting Group before? There are so many good treasures. It seems that the ruins they found are not simple..."

 “Hmm.”

 The woman in the trench coat nodded.

 But she seemed to have thought of something else, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, and after pondering for a long time, she added: "That ruined city should be the 'Dawn Hidden in Eternal Darkness' in the classics and legends City'. Someone in the tower secretly went to explore it, and it seems that they confirmed the location of the ruins. It was the alchemy city that Sir Isaac personally planned and built back then, so it's no wonder that so many treasures were produced.

 “What? Auroville?!”

 Young people obviously don’t know some of the inside story.

 But when he heard the name, his expression suddenly cheered up.

 Because this is a legendary place that all alchemists have been fascinated by for a long time, a holy place in the hearts of alchemists, and the "City of Dawn" where the "Alchemy Demigod" Sir Isaac lived!

 While being excited, the young man suddenly thought of something and said anxiously: "This is terrible! Boss, should we notify the superiors quickly and have the whole city block the news? Otherwise...this news will spread. , the hunters will definitely swarm in search of that ruins!"

 “No.”

 Hearing this, the windbreaker woman shook her head, her eyes dark.

 After a moment of pause, she slowly said something meaningful, "Information about the auction has always been under the control of the top management. This news... maybe it was deliberately spread by a big shot above. ”

 “Huh?”

 The young man obviously didn't understand for a moment.

 After thinking about it, he understood what his boss meant and asked again: "But...if it is really the legendary 'City of Dawn' and the news spreads, the treasures in the ruins are not Will it be taken away by the hunters?"

 "Take it away? Where to take it?"

 The woman in the trench coat shook her head disapprovingly, as if she had seen through the essence of the matter.

  She said with a half-smile: "Most of the hunters go out of the city to hunt for money because they want to make money. Most of the treasures they find will eventually appear in the auction houses in the inner city. When the time comes, the big shots from above will We just spend some money to buy it back."

 The young man is still a little puzzled, "But it would be a pity for those rare treasures, such as Sir Isaac's magical alchemy manuscripts, to fall into the hands of hunters..."

 French coat woman: "Don't worry...the more advanced the ancient relics are, the less useful they will be for the people at the bottom. Otherwise, what do you think the high-level alchemical knowledge monopolized by the high-level people is for? Really advanced alchemical items, outside of The civilians in the city don't even know how to get it. Like silver blueprints and gold blueprints, how many of the professionals who practice low-level breathing techniques in the outer city can match them? It's useless to hold them in your hands, they can only be auctioned."

 Listening to his boss's explanation, the young man seemed to feel frustrated, and argued weakly: "But...how much will it cost?"

 “How much money do you think we made from tonight’s auction? Several hundred million, one billion? Haha... Do you know what the profit will be in one day if the price of drinking water for residents in Old Lingtown increases by 10%?”

  The woman in the trench coat raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "You think the plutocrats are too simple..."

  .....

The auction items later had nothing to do with Su Lun. He had already used up all the savings in his pocket to buy that blueprint.

 Although there are many treasures, there is more than enough desire but not enough strength.

 What worries him more now is what happens after he has the drawings.

 Alchemy planting not only requires blueprints, but also materials... Among other things, the main material of this blueprint is "cursed spider legs", which should preferably be produced by monsters above the elite level. Material.

 The drawing is like a mold. The top mold is given to you. It is your own choice what material you want to use to make it.

 Use gold to get gold equipment, use silver to get silver equipment.

 The final finished product may be very different.

 So, this is also the reason why there are many identical implants on the market, but the final product has different combat capabilities.

 The price of cursed materials such as "Spider Legs" fluctuates greatly from ordinary quality to gold materials. Not to mention some special curse characteristics, such as toxins, elements, resistance, toughness... Anyway, the better, the more expensive it is.

Su Lun’s impression is that the average spider legs available for sale in the world only cost tens of thousands of dollars.

 But after getting such a good gold blueprint, he naturally couldn't think of low-end black iron plant equipment.

  No matter what, you have to get a silver-quality main material, right?

 In that case, Su Lun estimated that the main materials would cost at least 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

 Furthermore, the better the main material, the higher the quality of the accessories required. Including the labor costs of enchanting and refining, Su Lun would have to spend about half a million to refine a silver-quality [Eight-Armed Spider Divine Spear].

 “Hey...lack of money is still a big problem.”

 Before, Su Lun was worried about finding good drawings that suited him, but Su Lun still felt that he had plenty of money.

 Now I have found a drawing that far exceeds expectations, which is well over budget.

 However, there is still a reason to be expensive. For Su Lun, the [Eight-Armed Spider Divine Spear Drawing], which is suspected to be the exclusive drawing of the Puppet Master, is also to his liking.

 Once successfully refined, his combat power will increase at least several times.

 If nothing else, the survivability will be greatly improved. If he really had this plant equipment, even if he encountered the attack on Tongzi Tower last time, Su Lun was confident that he could handle it alone even without Kai.

 This is what alchemy plant equipment means to professionals!

  .....

 The auction has ended, but most of the customers did not leave immediately, but wandered around the market.

 The black market is very busy today. Not only are there auctions, but various stores also have many treasured items waiting for customers to come to their doors.

 The organizers also specially set up some temporary iron shelves so that scattered vendors can set up stalls to sell their goods that are not worth enough to be put on the auction stage but are still hard to come by.

 There are stalls everywhere, various shops are dazzling, and there are really a lot of good things.

Su Lun also wandered among the crowd.

 Having only a few thousand li for living expenses, he naturally did not come here to spend money.

  He wants to look for business opportunities with the perspective of a time traveler.

 Don’t even think about the basic skills of making soap, perfume, and alcohol as a time traveler to make a fortune. For an alchemist, those things are just leftovers from other people’s entertainment. Beginners and apprentices can master dozens of side tricks. Method.

Su Lun also thought of the "profiteering business" written in the criminal law in his previous life.

 Being a Breaking Bad actor?

No, "pharmaceutics" is the most important skill of an alchemist. One hundred recipes for psychedelic potions can be found on the black market.

 Open a fengyuechang?

That is an industry that is mixed by gang bosses and plutocrats. Su Lun, a little transparent person, is not qualified to mix in that kind of big business. Moreover, the entertainment industry is about the long term, and it is impossible to get rich in a short time.

 As for gambling?

Su Lun stayed at the gambling stall every day and watched countless people go bankrupt.

 If you really gamble with the mentality of winning money, you will definitely lose.

 Don't even think about other businesses such as resource monopoly. The hierarchy of this world has been fixed. The inner city plutocrats have monopolized all resources, and people from the outer city can't even think about getting involved.

So Su Lun can think of the fastest way to make money at the moment, which is to use the "Eye of Omniscient" to pick up big leaks on the black market.

 That’s why he wandered around, looking at the various shops and stalls.

 Not to mention, after walking for a while, he really saw an opportunity to pick up the slack.

  .....

 It was a simple stall, with a few simple test tubes placed on a piece of black cloth, which looked like medicines.

 A "fat man" wearing a black cloak covering his face is probably the stall owner.

 At this moment, he seemed to be arguing with someone.

 It was the sound of argument that caught Su Lun's attention.

 “You don’t even have the production batch number or lead seal of the Pharmacy Union for this medicine, but you dare to sell it for 30,000 yuan?”

 “Haha, you are just a crappy potion, and you say it has the same effect as a ‘top recovery potion’?”

 "And this... You said this 200,000-dollar potion can increase the human body's containment value and overload the fusion alchemy plant? Hahaha... The 'Pharmacion Guild' has never heard of this kind of magic Medicine, why don’t you say it can bring the dead back to life? Do you really think we are fools?”

 “…”

 Facing the customer's question, the stall owner looked at a loss and wanted to explain something, but he seemed to be unable to explain a single question.

Su Lun walked over and looked at the stall owner.

 The bloated body covered by the black cloak is probably a disguise. Because of the irregular obesity, he looked more like a deformed monster than a human being.

 The slight movements of his body showed that the stall owner was slightly nervous and did not look like a trader who frequented the black market.

 After observing the person, Su Lun looked at a few potions on his stall and his eyelids twitched slightly.

 It’s no wonder those customers just spoke so harshly, it’s because the potion’s appearance is so bad!

 It is the most common cheap test tube, containing some unknown red and green liquid.

 As we all know, as long as the medicine is produced by a regular manufacturer, the container will have a trademark inscription.

 After all, medicines are often used to save lives. Almost all medicines sold on the market have special lead seals and anti-counterfeiting marks.

 Hence, without lead seals and anti-counterfeiting agents, no one would buy them.

Although there are indeed some low-quality fake medicines on the market, those counterfeit traders have also put a lot of effort into the packaging, and no one dares to make such fake medicines!

 The few potions on the street stall in front of you feel like you just found a mineral water bottle and poured some yellow-brown liquid into it. Call it Kangshuaifu Ice Black Tea? Are you asking for three yuan?

 What's more, even if it's not fake.

 How do you prove that this is a real potion?

 Poison appraiser is a noble profession in the upper class and can only be found in the inner city.

 Pick it up and take a sip?

 Who dares to drink a small workshop medicine with only four bottles in total?

 Or maybe it suddenly breaks when you pick it up, and you have to pay tens of thousands...

No matter how you look at it, there is definitely something wrong with this potion.

Su Lun originally thought this was some kind of "trouble", but when he saw the stall owner struggling to explain, he became curious, so he focused his eyes on the ultimate potion and scanned it with his omniscient pupil. one time.

 But when he saw it, his eyes immediately froze.

 There is a row of information displayed on the bottle of little red potion.

 【Special healing potion】

 Detailed explanation: High-purity special healing medicine can quickly stop bleeding and heal wounds quickly; there are almost no impurities and no side effects at all.

 “Is it really a special healing potion?”

Su Lun was really surprised.

Although he is an amateur in medicine, his omniscient eyes cannot be fake.

 Is the Sanwu product from this small workshop really a life-saving medicine that sells for 100,000 or 80,000 yuan a tube?

 So, selling it for 30,000 yuan is still a bargain?

 Seeing this, Su Lun felt vaguely that the stall owner seemed to be telling the truth.

At this time, he set his sights on the green potion that sold for 200,000 yuan.

 At this sight, even though Su Lun had expected it, his eyelids didn't twitch.

 【Distortion Tolerance Enhancement Potion】

 Detailed explanation: Increases the body's resistance to curse characteristics by 10-18%; can only be used by first-level professionals; the potion has about a 3% chance of causing fleshy mushrooms to grow on the user's body, but compared to the effect of the medicine, this is already There are minimal side effects.

 "I'm really not bragging...but this magical potion only sells for 200,000?!"

 Just with these two simple introductions, Su Lun seemed to have discovered a huge business opportunity.

 What is the concept of improving the human body's tolerance by about 15% on average?

 It means that the combat effectiveness of professionals can be greatly improved!

　Professors who could only withstand black iron plant equipment in the past can overload and integrate silver quality plant equipment after taking potions. Those that can withstand silver can even be transplanted with gold implants.

 For professionals, this is a priceless treasure!

 The key point is that there is no such potion for sale in Old Lingdun that has such heaven-defying effects. If the stall owner really made it himself, not to mention the value of the potion, just the patent on the potion formula would make him a rich man in an instant.

 Who is this stall owner?

 Why doesn’t he go to the inner city?

 Wanted criminal, or what?

Su Lun thinks this is a good way to "pick up big mistakes".

 But he also had doubts in his heart, and then on a whim, he looked at the stall owner with his omniscient eyes.

 And then,

 Hmm...what's going on? !

 Suellen can use the Eye of Omniscient to see his own attributes, but when he looks at others, there is just a simple description of a [human being] above his head.

 However, for the first time, something different appeared on the stall owner's head.

 What he shows is a [semi-deformed human being].

  (To avoid being scolded, spoilers: the woman is not wanted.)
