While speaking, Doctor looked at An Xiu.

"Currently, only An Xiu and Amiya know about the specific output of Oripathy's healing potion, right?"

"If I have to say, there are Hedley who was in charge of driving for us at the time and several Rhodes Island Operator who were accompanying us. However, I don't think they would have said anything without getting an order."

"That's right, if necessary, I will instruct everyone at Rhodes Island to keep the pharmaceutical output secret after I return."

An Xiu and Amiya replied one after another.

"Very good. In this case, we will have a lot of room for operation."

You must know that before Mobius developed a cure, Oripathy was an incurable terminal disease in the Terra world. Every year, countless infected people who accidentally contracted Oripathy had to endure the oppression of various countries while waiting for death in despair under the erosion of Oripathy.

Under such circumstances, if a medicine that can cure this terminal disease comes out, without knowing the specific output, what will be people's first reaction?

Needless to say, I definitely think that this kind of medicine is very precious and hard to find.

Then, the empire only needs to release the news of the Oripathy healing potion, and then conceal the specific output, deliberately creating the illusion that potion production is difficult, costly, and has low production capacity. Will the empire then be able to harvest potions with extremely low actual costs without the knowledge of other countries?

After all, in Terra where Originium particles are scattered in the air, even the princes and nobles cannot guarantee that they will not suffer from Ore Disease throughout their lives. Once they accidentally contract Ore Disease and become an infected person, at best, they must conceal it carefully and have to live cautiously in the future. At worst, the identity of the infected person will be exposed, their human rights will be deprived, and everything they own will be lost.

In this case, who would refuse to have a potion that can cure Oripathy as insurance?

Rhodes Island can produce hundreds of thousands of potions every month. The empire only needs to release a few hundred pills every year to severely cut Terra's flesh and blood on the high-ranking officials and nobles of other countries besides the empire.

In fact, the empire can completely define the Oripathy healing potion as a strategic material and use it as a bargaining chip to exchange various tangible benefits from other countries without bloodshed. However, what the empire needs to pay is only one ten thousandth of the Rhodes Island annual potion production.

"A very good suggestion, but I would like to make some changes."

An Xiu strongly agrees with Doctor's proposal to exploit the information gap in the production of pharmaceuticals to deceive the nobles and high-level officials of other countries. However, An Xiu believes that the specific details can be further optimized.

"We cannot keep the issue of potion production secret forever. It can only be hidden for a year or two at most. In this case, in order to further create the illusion that the potion is precious, we might as well not release a single potion. Instead, after making the potion public, on the one hand, like As Doctor just said, the Oripathy healing potion is defined as a strategic material at the national level, and a small amount is released in exchange for various benefits from other countries. On the other hand, Rhodes Island is allowed to establish a medical company in the name of the empire."

"People from other countries can purchase high-cost medical insurance from this medical company to obtain membership status and enjoy medical services. Among them, the most advanced Platinum members can enjoy medical services including Oripathy Cure."

"In this way, we can harvest the nobles and senior officials of other countries from both the national level and the individual level, a two-pronged approach."

"As for the name of the established medical enterprise, let's call it Rhodes Island Trauma Team. The price of Platinum membership will be set at two million Imperial Coin per year. However, ordinary Platinum members who want to enjoy Oripathy healing services must make an appointment at least one year in advance. Only Platinum members who have purchased it for more than five years in one go can be exempted from the appointment."

PS: There will be an update soon.

Chapter 213: The arrival of envoys from various countries is a carnival exclusively for the senior officials and nobles of various countries

As the saying goes, the money of the big nobles must be divided, and the money of the small nobles must also be divided.

An Xiu The membership price of two million Imperial Coin Platinum per year is almost stuck at the limit that Terra ordinary nobles in various countries can afford, and the big nobles are even more generous. In order to avoid having to make an appointment when needed, they will definitely buy it for more than five years at a time.

But the problem is that five years later, the estimated output of the Oripathy healing potion in the empire has already been made public. Therefore, whether it is a big noble or a small noble, the money they spent to purchase members is destined to lose everything.

But it doesn't matter, after all, the purpose of An Xiu and others is to deceive people, so naturally the harder they do it, the better.

Imperial Coin is a unique currency issued after the establishment of the Holy Terra Empire. The purchasing power comparison with the previous official currency Victorian Pound of Victoria is almost 1 to 1, that is, 1 Imperial Coin is equal to 1 Victorian Pound.

The purchasing power of 1 Victorian Pound in Terra is roughly equivalent to 12rmb in An Xiu's previous life. Therefore, the Platinum membership price of two million Imperial Coin per year is just right for both the big aristocrats and ordinary aristocrats.

In the conference hall, listening to the discussion between An Xiu and Doctor on how to deceive Terra, the high-level officials and nobles of various countries, Talulah and Amiya were a little bit unable to speak. After all, they are not good at deceiving people, unlike An Xiu and Doctor, who are not as bad as An Xiu and Doctor.

Fortunately, this topic did not last long. After all, it was only a short-term plan in the first place. A deal like this, which is just a quick deal, does not require any long-term planning at all. The only troublesome thing is the confidentiality work.

After the discussion ended, everyone dispersed and began to devote themselves to their own work.

Just like that, half a month later, a piece of news that the empire had developed a healing potion that could completely treat Oripathy spread like the wind throughout Terra countries.

This news quickly caused a sensation in Terra countries. There are many smart people among the top leaders of various countries who thought of the meaning behind this news.

Holding a potion that can cure Oripathy, the empire is equivalent to having a flag that can command the infected. If the output of this potion is high enough, then there will be countless infected people in the entire Terra world who are willing to live and die for the empire for a potion that can cure themselves Oripathy, thereby freeing themselves from the status of infected people.

By then, the already extremely powerful Holy Terra Empire's military strength will once again expand to an unimaginable level.

Fortunately, according to follow-up news, although the empire released news about the Oripathy healing potion, it did not take any action such as establishing a large-scale factory for production. It just handed it over to a pharmaceutical company named Rhodes Island under the empire's name for production.

Judging from this point, the output of this medicine that can cure Oripathy must not be high, otherwise the empire should not let go of this opportunity to expand its army to recruit cannon fodder.

As a result, while Terra countries breathed a sigh of relief, they fell into a carnival exclusive to the senior officials and nobles of each country.

After all, if the output is not high, isn't this kind of medicine that can cure Oripathy the exclusive privilege of senior officials and nobles like them?

This is how it should be. After those lowly untouchables are infected with Oripathy, they should honestly become consumables. This precious medicine that can cure Oripathy should be given to them, the high-ranking officials and nobles, to enjoy.

Therefore, just as An Xiu and Doctor guessed, after realizing that the precious medicine announced by the empire that could cure Oripathy was likely to be in low production, a large number of countries soon began to send people to the empire, on the one hand to verify the news, and on the other hand to try to negotiate with the empire in exchange for a share of the medicine.

Basically, all the well-informed countries around the empire sent people, including Leithanien, who was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties with the empire not long ago and was warned by the empire, also came over with a shy face.

In response to this situation, Talulah also followed the arrangements of An Xiu and Doctor and did not immediately pay attention to the envoys sent by these countries. Instead, he held a meeting in the palace for three days and one meeting for five days, as if he was discussing with Imperial Prime Minister, Doctor, a specific plan on how to use medicine to benefit the empire.

Several days passed like this before Talulah, who was Emperor, finally issued the order. The envoys sent by various countries were first gathered together and witnessed the recovery of an infected person after taking the medicine. Then, under the arrangement of the palace staff, they began to negotiate with Doctor one by one.

The entire negotiation process lasted for several days. During this period, the empire released news that in the future, the empire would release about two hundred Oripathy healing potions every year. In order to get a share of the potion, every country that negotiated with the empire paid a high price.

This is not over yet. After the negotiations between the envoys sent by various countries have concluded, the empire has released news that a medical enterprise named Rhodes Island Trauma Team will be established to purchase the medical insurance of the trauma team. Platinum members of the trauma team will have the opportunity to enjoy the Oripathy healing service at most once a year.

Immediately, many nobles from various countries who originally thought that they might not have the opportunity to enjoy Oripathy's healing services counted their properties and set out on their way to the capital of the empire. Everyone hurriedly hurried slowly, fearing that the number of places was limited and that if they arrived late, they would not have the chance.

This grand occasion is expected to continue for at least several months in the future, but due to the relatively long time period, An Xiu has not paid any further attention to it except for the initial attention.

Almost a month has passed since Artoria and Meli were sent to other worlds. Next, he planned to leave for the KonoSuba world to check and accept the results of Artoria and Meli's hard work for him.

By the way, the products in the discount area of the system mall will be refreshed soon, and I don't know what good things will be refreshed this time.

"The balance of points is still a little low. I hope nothing too expensive will be refreshed."

"Since I left JOJO World, I haven't had any large amount of points income in recent times. Except for the tens of thousands of points I got after Genshin Impact world guide Inazuma, the rest are all due to Makima's Cursed Spirit army in the Jujutsu world and all kinds of freeloading behaviors."

"Although it's not a small amount of money to save, it's hard to buy anything good without a large point income."

"It seems that when I go to the KonoSuba world this time, I have to see if there are any opportunities to make more money."

While thinking this, An Xiu opened the system interface and opened the portal to the world of KonoSuba.

Chapter 214: Arrival at KonoSuba world, embarrassing Chris

KonoSuba world, Kingdom of Belzerg, Axel.

Located in the corner of a certain street in this medieval-style city, the figure of An Xiu crossed the system portal and appeared here.

"Is this the world of KonoSuba? Looking at the nearby streets, where I am now should be Axel?"

Scanning the nearby streets, An Xiu guessed where he was.

According to the consistent character of the system, after using the time-travel function, if the world you travel to is a world like DanMachi and JOJO World, which has a clear plot location, then the place where An Xiu happened after traveling is basically the plot. The place where the key point occurs, and even if you travel to a world where the plot locations are relatively scattered like the Arknights World and Genshin Impact worlds, the system's time-travel function will usually directly send An Xiu to the vicinity of certain plot characters.

As for the place in the world of KonoSuba that has the highest proportion of plot and the most characters, it is undoubtedly Axel, which is also known as the city of Adventurer at the beginning of the original story.

If it were other cities that appeared in the original work, then the surrounding streets should be more prosperous, at least it would not be like now where all the low-rise houses are visible at a glance, and there are not a few tall buildings visible at all.

This is why An Xiu made such a judgment just by looking at it.

But after all, it was just a simple guess, so to be on the safe side, An Xiu released his perception slightly, covering the entire city in an instant, and knowing the whole city.

Obviously, An Xiu's guess is not wrong. This is indeed the city of Axel, the novice Adventurer in the original work.

"Then next, let's go to the Adventurer guild first to see the plot development in this world, and by the way, let's find out about Artoria and Meli."

After confirming his location, the next step is naturally to find the clones who were sent to this world by An Xiu more than half a month ago, namely Artoria and Meli.

As early as half a month ago, An Xiu sent Artoria and Meli, who were first manifested by himself, to this world to develop in advance. For this reason, An Xiu also specially used the system function to assign the identities of royal family and court mage to the two.

Even though the time is still short, with the abilities of Artoria and Meli and the identity they provided, they should have achieved considerable results in this world now.

And now, since An Xiu is here, it is time for preliminary acceptance of this result.

With this idea in mind, An Xiu walked towards the direction of Adventurer guild.

But not far away from An Xiu, a figure looked at the back of An Xiu as he left, his eyes unblinking.

"Did that feeling just now... come from him?"

"Looking at the clothes he's wearing, could he be a newly reincarnated person?"

The girl, Chris, who was wearing a leather armor, had short silver hair, and a small knife mark on her face did not damage her delicate face at all, but looked more cheerful. Chris was touching her chin with her hand, recalling the feeling just now and guessing.

Logically speaking, although Adventurer appears to be a thief by profession, in fact, his true identity is Chris, or Eris, who manages this world, God. She should know the identities of all reincarnations reincarnated into this world by the Heavenly Realm.

But she really couldn't remember when the world she managed had a reincarnation like An Xiu.

Could it be that he was just reincarnated and made some omissions because he was careless at work?

Well, that's probably the only possibility.

Silently feeling guilty for the mistakes he had made while working, Chris thought of the ultra-large range of perception just launched by An Xiu.

Judging from my God eyesight, the special sensing method just now can easily cover the entire city, right?

Did she have such a powerful ability just after reincarnation? But if she remembered correctly, the various abilities and props given by the Heavenly Realm to the reincarnated person for rapid growth should not be too powerful in the initial state.

Could it be that without her knowing, the abilities and props used by the Heavenly Realm to help reincarnated people grow quickly have been updated?

Thinking like this, Chris stepped forward and followed An Xiu in the direction he left.

Judging from the route An Xiu took when he left just now, it is obvious that the other party intends to go to the Adventurer guild to register as Adventurer.

This is considered a common practice, and every reincarnation that has just been reincarnated into this world will basically do this.

However, if she remembers correctly, you need to pay a handling fee if you want to register as Adventurer in the Adventurer Guild. Although the handling fee is not much, for people who have just come to this world, it is obviously impossible to have any currency from this world.

In this case, in order to collect the handling fees and living expenses for the next period of time, the only option for most reincarnated persons is to temporarily work at a nearby construction site to earn the first pot of gold. If you choose abilities or props related to combat types from the abilities and props given by the Heavenly Realm during reincarnation, you can also try to hunt monsters for sale.

However, judging from the situation just now, the opponent's ability should be of the perception type, which is very useful in the later stage. However, in the early stage, it is difficult to be of much help in frontal combat. It is impossible to hunt monsters, so the only option is to work hard at the construction site. If you can't afford a hotel at night, you will probably have to sleep in a smelly stable.

Of course, these all refer to situations where there is no one to help. Forget it if you don't see it. Now that we have met, as a kind-hearted believer and ordinary person who truly cares about himself, God, Chris doesn't mind providing a little help to the other person.

After all, every reincarnated person is a Braver candidate. The sooner he grows up, the sooner he can challenge the Demon King.

So, a few minutes later, Adventurer came to the guild.

"So, do you mean that although you are following me, you actually want to help me?"

In front of a table in the Adventurer guild, An Xiu and Chris were sitting opposite each other.

The words just now were naturally spoken by An Xiu to Chris.

Although to a certain extent, Chris did guess half of the situation of An Xiu. For example, An Xiu did just come to this world, and he did not have the currency of this world. But the problem is that just like when he went to the DanMachi world, when he went to the new world, An Xiu naturally could not be unprepared. He carried a few pieces of gold with him.

"Yes, that's right. Originally, it seemed that you, a newcomer who had just arrived in this city, might not know the situation. You didn't carry the fee for applying for Adventurer identity, so I wanted to come over and help you, but now it seems that I am being sentimental."

Chris, who was sitting opposite An Xiu, waved his hands awkwardly and said.

She also knew that what she said was suspicious. After all, how could someone follow someone because they wanted to pay someone to register Adventurer for no reason? Especially since her profession was a thief.

Therefore, although what Chris just said is true, if you think about it, if she were An Xiu, she would probably not believe such a flawed statement.

PS: It's been a while since I watched KonoSuba. In order to write the plot and I was worried about any mistakes, I went to review it temporarily, so I only had time to update it today.

Chapter 215: The kingdom under complete control, the complete work from Meli

However, to Chris's expectation, after listening to her words, An Xiu just nodded after pondering for a moment and chose to believe her.

"I believe what you said, Miss Chris."

Different from what Chris guessed, An Xiu knew Chris's identity from the beginning, as well as the other party's character and personality. Therefore, An Xiu did not feel angry after discovering that Chris was following him. Otherwise, he would not have let the other party follow Adventurer until the guild chose to expose her.

What Chris said is most likely true. At most, it is just concealing his identity as God. Therefore, when the other party approaches with good intentions, as a reasonable person, An Xiu is naturally less likely to be dissatisfied.

It also starts with coming to a different world and following a goddess. An Xiu's current treatment is much better than that of Sato Kazuma in the original work.

After all, Chris is not as useless as Aqua. Not only was he unable to provide help in the early stage, but he was also hindered in every way. On the contrary, Chris also planned to use the money he usually earned as Adventurer to help him register Adventurer, so that An Xiu would not have to work on the construction site as she thought.

Compared with Aqua, the Chris in front of us can only be said to be as big as the sky.

However, Chris didn't know that An Xiu knew her personality and details from the beginning, so when she saw that she didn't hesitate to believe her even when faced with a professional thief who had a serious stereotype in the eyes of ordinary people, Chris felt a little embarrassed.

"Do you really believe it like this? This is not okay. You should have the most basic vigilance when facing the words of strangers, otherwise you will be easily deceived."

In response, An Xiu just shook his head lightly.

"No, I don't believe everyone's words, but I can feel that Miss Chris is not a bad person, so I am willing to believe what Miss Chris says."
