Chapter 24: Selling a Potion (1/2)

Kadyn heard the newcomer and frowned. He eyed three of them but couldn't recognise anyone, and he felt malicious intent coming from them.

”Are you here to cause trouble?” he demanded coldly. It was they who were trying to incite the trouble. So Kadyn felt no obligation to treat them like normal customers.

”Hump! Don't bend my words. Why would I cause trouble in this puny shop?” grunted Shum disdainfully.

”Yes, if your potion can really heal wounds as terrible as you claim, then prove it.” Another boy standing behind Shum also voiced.

”Why would I prove anything to the morons like you?” Kadyn snapped at them. He had never claimed that the potion could bring the man on his deathbed back to life, but these three were spreading the sheet of the matter as if desperate that they would fail to stimulate trouble for him.

”What did you say?!” all three of them burst immediately hearing his insulting words.

Kadyn disregarded their fuming expressions and turned towards the wounded guy. ”If you want the potion, just buy it. There is no oppression, though. It's your choice.”

The three of their faces burned in humiliation when Kadyn ignored their existence. However, none of them said anything anymore and ogled him coldly. They wanted to see him humiliated when his potion won't work as he claimed. After all, how could a shabby shop like this have a marvellous potion, as he claimed?

The customer hesitated for a little while but in the end clenched his teeth and decided to buy the potion. ”What's the price?” he asked.

Hearing this, Kadyn fell silent. He had yet to decide the price.

”Just focus on the potion and its status window will appear—remember this applies only inside the shop—you can see the standard price of the potion according to the shop. However, you can sell it for as high or low a price as you want. After all, it was you who concocted it. So the system won't decide the price.” System chimed inside his head, solving Kadyn's problem.

As he focused his gaze on the potion. The window appeared.

[Name: Soothing Drop]

[Category: Potion]

[Type: Healing]

[Rank: Elementary]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Price: 1500 dollar]

[Effect: A drop of the potion can heal and soothe the wounds of the elementary mage]

Kadyn looked at the screen with shining eyes and inquired. ”The grade of the potion is intermediate. So if it was high, peak, or top-grade, does that mean price would also increase?”

”Of course. As you know every potion is divided into five sub-categories—low, intermediate, high, peak and top—at every increasing grade, the effect would increase about two times. So of course, the price would also increase.”

A wide smile spread across his face when he heard this. So he could earn more if he could increase the grade of the potion. Then he remembered how hard that was. He had almost poured his heart and soul to concoct this single potion, and it was still only at the intermediate grade.

Shaking the distraction at the corner of his head, Kadyn turned towards the customer and replied. ”1500 dollars.”

”Whaaat!?” the wounded and others behind him screamed in unison. Their faces looked as if they had seen a ghost.
