Looking at the pile of pills on the table, Lin Yu raised her hand and put them all into her inventory.
To be honest, Lin Yu was curious. Vitality Powder and Beast Lure Powder both had "powder" in their names, so the finished products should have been powders. Why had they come out as pills instead?
After thinking it over, Lin Yu decided to stop dwelling on such a pointless question. For now, she needed to go to the market and sell the medicine first.
Lin Yu left the inn and flew straight to the market.
She found a spot, opened her panel, and started figuring out how to display her item information.
After a quick look through the panel, Lin Yu found the button for displaying item information.
After displaying the information for Vitality Powder and Beast Lure Powder, Lin Yu settled in to wait for sellers to arrive.
Within seconds of Lin Yu displaying the information, players began to notice it.
Then Lin Yu witnessed an utterly absurd sight: more than a dozen players came flying toward her as though they had made some kind of resolution.
Barely suppressing the urge to hiss, Lin Yu prepared to see what was going on with them.
"I saw it first! None of you had better try to take it from me!" the first player to reach Lin Yu shouted at the others rushing over.
After shouting, the player looked at Lin Yu and asked hurriedly, "Little sister, how much are your Vitality Powder and Beast Lure Powder? I'll take all of them!"
Lin Yu was about to answer when another player came over and shouted, "Damn it, you say you saw it first, so that means you did? Got any proof? I could say I saw it first too! Little sister, ignore him. Sell it to me and I'll pay an extra silver coin!"
"Damn it, so you're trying to undercut me!"
"Stop arguing! I saw it, so I get to buy it first!"
"Let me have it all! I'm a newbie, and I haven't managed to buy any yet. Give me a break!"
"Get lost! Newbie, my ass. I wouldn't give it up even if the king of heaven himself came!"
Looking at the dozen or so players arguing in front of her, their shouting match having escalated to insults about each other's parents, Lin Yu was genuinely frightened. She silently edged backward, not daring to make a sound for fear that the agitated players would notice her and start cursing at her too.
One player noticed how frightened Lin Yu looked and hurriedly tried to make peace. "Stop arguing. Look how badly you've scared the little sister."
Seeing that the players had finally stopped arguing, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, she really couldn't understand why they had started fighting. She was selling Vitality Powder and Beast Lure Powder, right? Why had they all crowded around as though they had seen some incredible treasure, even trading insults about each other's parents over who got to buy her goods?
Next, Lin Yu saw the players discussing something among themselves. They soon came to an agreement, and one of them stepped forward and asked her, "Little sister, how much are the Vitality Powder and Beast Lure Powder?"
Lin Yu held up five slender, fair fingers and said quietly, "Five copper coins per portion. The Vitality Powder and Beast Lure Powder are both the same price."
"How much!!??" As if he had heard something unbelievable, the player stared at her in disbelief.
"Five copper coins per portion. Is something wrong?" Seeing his reaction, Lin Yu felt a little nervous. Had she set the price too high?
"Uh... no, nothing."
Over the next minute, all the medicine Lin Yu had on her was bought up.
Looking at the 8 silver coins and 555 copper coins in her bag, Lin Yu felt it was unreal. Had everything sold out so quickly? She had thought she would have to wait here a long time!
After giving it a little thought, Lin Yu figured she more or less understood. There were probably more people looking to buy Vitality Powder and Beast Lure Powder than there were people selling them!
Judging by this, were there very few players who had chosen logistics? That couldn't be right. She had seen plenty of lifestyle players on the forums!
Now Lin Yu had a rough idea why that player had been so surprised when she named the price of five copper coins. She had probably set it too low. The price she had seen on the forums was likely the current lowest price.
Should she raise the price the next time she sold goods? After thinking it over, Lin Yu decided to leave that question until the next time she was ready to sell medicine.
After turning down the players' friend requests, she started thinking about what to do next.
Looking at the money in her bag, Lin Yu decided to go on a shopping spree at the market. She had originally planned to visit the library, but after earning some money, she changed her mind. She still had too little money, nowhere near enough to spend much time reading in the library. For now, she needed to earn more.
Having made up her mind, Lin Yu began shopping around the market.
After spending 3 silver and 500 copper, Lin Yu bought a total of 2,850 portions of Vitality Grass and 1,150 portions of Magic-Infused Grass Seeds.
Those materials were enough to keep her making medicine for a long time. Next, Lin Yu prepared to head to the Alchemy Workshop.
She planned to rent a room to brew Simple Blood-Activating Potions.
Lin Yu soon arrived at the Alchemy Workshop. She went inside and spoke to an NPC there, and after paying 5 silver coins, she received an Alchemy Workshop key. It worked much like the inn key.
Using the Alchemy Workshop key to open any door inside the workshop would grant access to a private room containing items used for alchemy.
Lin Yu pushed open the door and walked in. At a glance, she noticed a huge workbench in the very center of the room.
She casually put the key into her cloth bag and walked toward the workbench in the middle. As soon as she approached, a panel notification popped up, confirming that it was an alchemy workbench.
Now, it was time to start brewing Simple Blood-Activating Potions!
The recipe for a Simple Blood-Activating Potion called for 5 Redblood Flowers and 10 portions of Vitality Grass.
She checked the success rate for brewing a Simple Blood-Activating Potion on the panel. Her 165 spirit attribute added 82% to the success rate, and with another 8% from her 8 luck and the base 10%, the success rate came to exactly 100%.
Next came the brewing. After 10 minutes, Lin Yu successfully brewed 10 bottles of Simple Blood-Activating Potion.
[Simple Blood-Activating Potion After use, the effect lasts for 1 minute. While active, restores 6 health points and 6 stamina points per second. Hunger depletion speed increases by 100% for the duration.]
Lin Yu thought people would probably buy this potion. After all, it was one of the few health-restoring items currently available, and it restored both health and stamina. When someone was seriously injured, a bottle could quickly restore their health and get them back into shape. With this potion, combat classes would have a greater margin for error.
