A Big Deal!
Lu Xingshen paused for a moment, looked at the three vials of medicine in front of him, picked them up and left, saying, "Wait for me a moment!"
He rushed out of the tavern before he finished speaking.
Li Yao: "..."
It seems that the three people in the Midnight Bar were indeed seriously injured.
Even the usually composed and dignified Old Man Lu was somewhat anxious and didn't want to waste a moment.
Not long after,
Old Man Lu returned from next door, this time with much lighter steps. He sat back down at the bar and said solemnly, "Thank you. Their injuries have stabilized. Once they wake up, I will have them come to thank you in person."
Li Yao: "You're welcome."
Although he himself could not become a so-called "Wallfacers"—carrying the lights of thousands of homes into the darkness—this did not diminish Li Yao's respect for them.
If you can lend a hand, then do so.
Anyway, Boss Li has money now.
Old Man Lu thought for a moment and asked, "These medicines..."
Li Yao interrupted him, saying, "Don't ask me first, tell me what happened last night."
This can be considered an exchange to some extent.
You previously said I wasn't Wallfacers, so it wasn't convenient for me to talk to you. Now that I've helped you, surely I should know something, right?
He was, after all, next to Midnight Bar.
Being completely ignorant puts you in a very passive position.
Initially, he set up his tavern next to Midnight Bar hoping to observe the extraordinary side of Earth up close, to see what kind of people they were and whether they would influence him. After observing, he discovered that Wallfacers were actually quite similar to ordinary people.
They also have seven emotions and six desires.
It's just that the other party's profession is rather unusual.
Maybe,
Some might say, "This kind of organization is shady and dangerous, so why would you join it?" Who knows?
Firefighters knew the fire zone was dangerous, yet they still went against the flow of people. Earning meager wages but risking their lives, what were they after?
Some might argue that since this organization isn't an intelligence agency, why should it be kept secret? Even if intelligence agencies knew what this organization did, why would the Wallfacers, an organization completely shrouded in secrecy, exist? Actually,
Keeping this organization hidden in the shadows is not only a protection for ordinary people, but also a protection for those on the Wallfacers.
The alien beings that infiltrate Earth from other dimensions are incredibly diverse, with a wide variety of abilities. Once everything is exposed, the clever alien beings can use trickery to sow discord and attack the Wallfacers.
There is no such thing as absolute perfection in this world.
Even those Wallfacers sometimes have to do despicable things. While hiding in the shadows certainly brings many troubles, stepping out into the sunlight brings even more.
Old Man Lu thought for a while and said, "It's no big deal to tell you. Last night, when our people were patrolling the provincial capital as usual, they were ambushed. But the people who ambushed us were not only from Japanese shrines, but also from America superhumans. They came from the Paranormal Research Society, an institution under Miskatonic University."
Although I don't know what the Japanese shrines or that damned university are.
But Li Yao could tell from Old Man Lu's tone that the situation was very serious.
Thinking of this, Li Yao asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Old Man Lu suddenly looked up, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "How much of your potion do you have left? We'll take it all! Don't worry, we won't shortchange you on the price."
After all, it's an organization under official control, so money isn't an issue.
Moreover, compared to money, that potion is like a second life!
Every life of Wallfacers is priceless!
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "One hundred thousand per tube."
This is considered a friend's price.
While you can grow the herbs used in Alchemy Potion, you can't grow the extracts from some otherworldly creatures... well, it's not impossible, haha.
My great China has two innate talents! Farming,
Gourmet food!
Li Yao wondered if he could plan a place to directly raise otherworldly creatures. It seemed like a possibility! When the time was right, he might be able to talk to Old Man Lu about it.
Just as Li Yao finished quoting the price, Old Man Lu jumped up. "One hundred thousand?! You think you can just rob someone?!"
Then I'll really take it.
Li Yao calmly said, "Then let's make it 200,000 per tube."
Old Man Lu immediately calmed down and tried to reason with him. "We can't be unreasonable. You're just trying to raise the price on the spot. There's no way you can do this."
Li Yao shrugged. "Then why don't you take the discounted price?"
The low-end version of the Vitality Potion from Li Shishi's place costs over 5,000 yuan per box.
The cost of refining the Healing Spirit Liquid is several times that of the Vitality Potion. What's wrong with charging you 100,000 for the genuine product? Besides...
Is 100,000 expensive?
It's not expensive! If you think it's expensive, it doesn't mean there's something wrong with my product.
It's because you're too poor.
Old Man Lu tried to bargain. "Look, we are an organization that benefits the country and the people; can't you make it a little cheaper?"
Li Yao: "So you didn't use taxpayers' money or what?"
Are the funds for the Wallfacers' activities and daily affairs all earned by yourselves?
Old Man Lu exclaimed, "Taxpayers' money can't be spent like this!"
Li Yao: "Then how can you collect taxes like that?"
When the people they represent are always shouting, nobody listens.
Seeing that Old Man Lu was about to say something, Li Yao interrupted, "If you don't have enough funds, just ask the higher-ups. Look at the news, how much money has been wasted? If all else fails, just find a few officials to take off their hats and you'll have all the money you need. You've been raising insects for a thousand days, now's the time to use them!"
Old Man Lu was persuaded...
The Wallfacers are an organization that sounds noble and righteous.
But there are some things that even superpowers can't change.
Old Man Lu considered for a moment. "Let's start with three hundred vials of this medicine."
That's thirty million!
Li Yao's face lit up immediately. "Alright! Also, take a look at this!" Li Yao bent down again, pretending to take out "Cleansing Potion" and "Vitality Potion" from under the counter. Li Yao pointed to the light green Cleansing Potion and the light red Vitality Potion and said, "These are a special antidote and a special vitality potion."
The results are fantastic! Old Man Lu looked up and asked, "Can we try it directly?"
Li Yao: "No problem!"
Aside from the taste, there's really nothing to complain about with the mage's stuff.
Drinking the Cleansing Potion is just a way to detoxify.
As for Vitality Potion...
Li Yao drinks it every day now.
In fact, the improvement that Vitality Potion can provide to the body is limited. The problem is that the human body doesn't have fixed attributes like a game character once you reach your limit. It will gradually decline as the body's functions age. Vitality Potion can greatly slow down this aging process.
After tasting each one, Old Man Lu's eyes widened in amazement! "How much!"
Li Yao smiled and said, "The antidote costs 80,000, and the vitality potion costs 90,000."
Old Man Lu cried:
This is fucking ripping me off! But he couldn't do anything about it. It would be a lie to say he didn't want it, but it was just too expensive... The price per unit was okay, but if you bought it wholesale, the price skyrocketed. The Wallfacers wasn't poor, but he wasn't at the point where he could just throw money around like that.
The key is that you haven't found a substitute yet! Old Man Lu very knowledgeable and experienced.
I've traveled both domestically and internationally, but I've never seen such a miraculous medicine anywhere else.
Thinking of this,
Old Man Lu suddenly said quietly, "By the way, Little Li, where did you get this medicine?"
Looking at China and beyond,
No other lineage is this powerful! First update. My book collection has hit a plateau, and I don't know why it's disappeared from the new book charts. I'm panicking, please help me out!
