Chapter 68 - Alchens Away His Soul

“Mhmm… Not a bad hidden skill”

“But what use does it have for me? When I concoct pills, my success rate is only a third of those aroundfor me to create a pill, potion, or whatever, it’d only be a fluke if I succeed!”

“Since I took the effort to recruit you, naturally it n this agreea as it ithin the scope of the real world’s laws

Bird suspiciously glanced at the contract in Nie Yan’s hands before taking it and carefully reading over its contents As he slowly read it through, word for word and line by line, he realized the clauses were rather simple In layredients and e, jurisdiction over how his creations—pills, elixirs, tonics, potions, and so on—were used would all be decided by Nie Yan Moreover, he would receive a thirty percent share if the sales of his concoctions produced a net profit

The conditions on this contract were roughly the sauilds when they recruited an Alchemist However, he could see one key difference: the contract Nie Yan presented hiuild would only share twenty percent of the revenue at hly valued In terenerous than those guilds Yet, nurturing an Alcheave rise to enormous expenditures, all of which would be taken on by Nie Yan The nu

“This contract… You’re really willing to let n this contract under these ter with eh and low, it would still be quite difficult to find such generous terms

“Mhmm”

“Since the moment I learned Alche Why else would havethe worth of all those redients I’ve destroyed to this day, it would probably reach two silvers at the very least! Please don’t bla a loss Consider carefully; it’s still not too late to renege on this” Bird presented the contract back to Nie Yan, gesturing he could take it back As the piece of paper fluttered in his hands, he felt a mix of apprehension and anxiousness in his heart What if Nie Yan were to take it back? What would he do then?

“I’ in money Even if I nizeRarely do I ever s”

“Still… Isn’t thirty percent too high of a price to pay for uilds that paid well, their Alchemists would still receive no more than twenty percent

“It’s already been decided I believe you’re worth the price,” Nie Yan replied, waving his hand and ain his absolute loyalty, it wouldn’t do if he siood will, and bolstering his confidence and ood place to start

Bird truly didn’t understand just where Nie Yan’s trust in him came from However, he could tell, from both actions and words, that Nie Yan believed in his ability When a person was at their lowest point and felt like a failure, what they needed the le line of acknowledgement Nie Yan’s words were unre Yet they were able to bypass the guard Bird had raised and entered his heart

“Alright” Bird paused for a n the contract! I’ my share, but please don’t blame me if you make a loss” Bird couldn’t help but repeat the last clause as he gave his response

“Rest assured Even if you fail, I won’t blame or trouble you,” Nie Yan replied in a cal back to the past, he had absolute confidence in himself, and he certainly wouldn’t be short onpoint of when the real world econohly two and a half weeks later, in-game property would be available to purchase or bid on: shops, auction houses, land, and so on would all transforuilds backed by financial groups would certainly go into a bidding and buying frenzy for theame currency and vice versa, the value of these properties would skyrocket The players would discover the shops they bought for tens, hundreds, or even thousands of gold would go for millions, possibly even tens of millions of credits As for auction houses, even if you listed them up for a hundred million credits, they would sell in an instant This was the result of various large financial groups and adventure capitalists frantically investing in the scene Nonetheless, owning a store or auction house truly would enable a player to reap enor a profit certainly wouldn’t be a proble an Alchemist like Bird? Come the day this Apprentice Alche, his returns would be orth the initial investment!
