Chapter 601 - I Beg You (2/2)
Five tons was not a small amount, and this amount of gold coins was a bit too little. “Dragon Meat Reagent is a top-notch reagent, and the recipe is precious enough that it wouldn’t even be passed on if one didn’t have an extremely high contribution to the Magic Tower. So, I need three tons of dragon meat to shush the Council of Elders.
“Another ton of dragon meat to pay for the labor of fifty alchemists. The last ton of dragon meat is the price of five hundred gold coins,” Alfred explained. “But on the account, I can’t write it like that. The Red Magic Tower asks its students for some dragon meat and actually asks for that much; if word gets out, the other Magic Towers will laugh at us, so on the account, it has to be at five tons of one hundred gold coins, got it?” Roland understood.
It was just false accounting.
Roland understood and nodded. “Deal.”
“Deal.” Alfred was also quite happy.
With five tons of dragon meat, he could do a lot of things.
It could even be used to expand his influence.
The following days were quite busy.
Handling the dragon corpse, learning the making of Dragon Meat Reagent, teleporting those fifty alchemists next to the underground dragon corpse, and then learning the unique experiences of creating alchemical potions with them.
It took Roland nearly seventeen days to completely deal with one dragon corpse.
And that was with the help of fifty alchemists.
If he worked alone, he reckoned he wouldn’t be able to do it in a year.
On the game forums, the fervor around the werecats was just dying down, and then a message set the whole forum off again.
Or rather detonated the entire community of players.
Top talent potion for sale, Dragon Meat Reagent.
This post was made by Roland and it got a lot of attention as soon as it came out, and what was even more intriguing was the title.
Talent potions!
Players clicked in one after another.
There wasn’t much in the post, just a few pictures of potions that glittered and glowed green, looking sort of pretty. There wasn’t much text content either.
The post content: “Top Dragon Meat Reagent. According to the individual profession and different attributes, the effect after use is also different, from improving the upper limit of the character to increasing the character talent, all that may be possible. Ten gold coins for this reagent. Interested parties please go to Delpon to discuss with Queen Andonara. Also, there is no guarantee of the effect of the Dragon Meat Reagent—the level of ability obtained after using it, the strength of the talent-everything is random.
What came next, naturally, were the players’ replies.
“Ten gold coins, 160,000 RMB, Roland’s thinking about money like crazy.”
“And to say that this game is not a cash game. This tube of reagent can buy three virtual cabins.”
“Upstairs, what the hell are you thinking. I’ll pay 200,000 to buy three virtual cabins.”
“I’m a casual and have no money for potions? Any kind-hearted people willing to pay?”
“You’re a casual, what the hell do you need battle power for, don’t drink potions. Just go screw your widow.”
“Money’s ready, leaving immediately.”
“Damn, why does Roland always find a way to make big money. It takes me two or three months to go on a long business trip, and it’s less than five gold coins of net profit.”
“Does anyone want to go robbing with me?”
“Upstairs, I think you have a problem.”
Roland not only posted an announcement about the dragon meat reagent on the player forum…
He even had First Princess Stephanie bring ten bottles of Dragon Meat Reagent to the capital of Fareins.
After giving a bottle to the king, Stephanie held an auction banquet.
After they heard the effects of the Dragon Meat Reagent, the nobles attending the party went crazy.
The price of a reagent went straight from the starting price of ten gold coins to twenty-three gold coins.
It had more than doubled.
This instantly made Stephanie a wealthy woman.
These potions were the labor fee that Roland had given to Stephanie to use on his behalf to open up the market in Fareins.
As for the dragon armor, dragon bones, and dragon heart, all these things were stored away by Roland
Especially the dragon heart-every day for breakfast, Roland would cut a slice, fry it up, and eat it with Andonara.
The effect was clear. Andonara’s stamina was higher.
As for Roland, his max health increased continuously.
Every time he ate a piece, it added anywhere from 3 to 5.
Roland estimated that after eating this dragon heart, his health cap could stack up to over 500.
That was almost the health limit of the teenage dragon.
Meanwhile, in the city of Delpon, a group of Golden Sons came in a hurry.
One group of them went straight to Douglas.
At this moment, Douglas was pouring a bottle of Dragon Meat Reagent into his mouth.
Across from him sat the chairman of Cornucopia, eyeing the Dragon Meat Reagent in his hand.
Douglas finished drinking and let out a long sigh as he closed his eyes for a moment before saying, “Finally some effect.”
“How many bottles have you had?”
“Five bottles. The first bottle added a skill, the second bottle added some agility, the third and fourth bottle had no effect, and this bottle finally added some strength.” Douglas sighed. “I guess it won’t work if I drink it again after that.”
“Help me,” said the old acquaintance subserviently, “I beg you.”
