Opening for Business X Demands from All Sides

After Kevin returned.

The first thing he needed to do was get his Pharmacy up and running again.

The medicine had been used up, and with the return journey at sea, the Pharmacy had been closed for more than half a year.

The person most affected by the Pharmacy closures was not anyone else, but Light.

In the medical industry, Redstone Potion's rise to its current status in recent years is largely due to Kevin's potions.

Kevin's potion is the core of a network of relationships, and everyone on this network relies on the potion to maintain their connections.

Fortunately, when Kevin left, the materials for various commonly used medicines were already piled up in the warehouse and were being preserved in the best possible way.

In the months since they learned Kevin was coming back, they haven't just been waiting idly; they've already started making preparations.

All the necessary materials, whether fresh or requiring processing, have been prepared.

How fast can Kevin produce these potions at this stage? He can produce about thirty vials per hour.

A slightly more advanced potion can produce about ten doses per hour.

The higher the grade of the potion, the less it is consumed, so Kevin had stored up a large quantity of potions in just two days.

Because the seven Dwarf were still usable, Kevin preserved them very well while he was in the Dark Continent.

Operating 24 hours a day, day and night, how could the production of medicine not be high?

So, the Pharmacy reopened two days after I returned.

Basho and the others, who had been living a leisurely life, finally started to have something to do.

"Uncle, have I sent out the opening announcement?"

"What is it?" Pairo asked, looking at Kevin, who was half-reclining on the sofa.

Kevin didn't even look up, just lazily waved his hand.

They're starting to slack off.

There was none of the sense of crisis and oppression I felt on the Dark Continent; all that remained was a feeling of warmth and security.

I don't want to move.

"Okay, send it out. Oh, and list a New Potion, put the [Surging Potion] up for sale. It's a new tier of potion, and the price will be a whole tier higher than the previous one."

Hearing Kevin's words, Pairo turned back to him and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this kind of potion produced in very low quantities? Don't you need it anymore, Uncle?"

[The Surging Potion] is the potion Kevin used in the previous stage to increase his Nen level.

The materials are the Golden Egg from the Golden Chicken and the organs from the Charging Armor.

It is also the only B-Rank potion for which Kevin currently has an extremely stable supply of materials.

All other B-Rank potion materials are either difficult to obtain or possess a unique quality in the human world.

Although Kevin brought back a large amount of B-Rank materials to test new agents, the quantity of these materials was still limited.

Unless Kevin can truly establish himself in the Dark Continent, it will be impossible to produce more B-Rank potions.

And C-class potion...

To be honest, it's not that Kevin is incapable of creating more varieties, but rather that he needs to improve his own strength, so he basically devotes most of his energy to the research and development of advanced potions.

After all, the Pharmacy is just a tool to expand one's strength and network, not one's main business.

"It's alright, I don't need this medicine anymore, and it's useless to you anyway, so you can put it on the shelves."

Oh, and give one free to all Silver Card members and above, saying it's compensation for the Pharmacy's unexplained closure over the past six months."

Since they are members of the Pharmacy, even if they don't receive a free gift, it won't affect anything. However, giving a gift would at least express their apology and make others feel better about them.

Kevin has plenty of these potions and materials anyway, so why not?

After listening to Kevin's explanation, Pairo nodded and went out to start working.

At this moment, Kevin began to ponder.

First and foremost, it's his own ability.

He is now almost at the point of having 300,000 thoughts.

Although he hasn't reached his physical limit yet, he's close. In Kevin's own estimation, 400,000 should be his physical limit.

To break through his limits, he needs to use a drug that can help his body break through and begin to change.

That would require returning to the Dark Continent once again.

However, he doesn't actually have many ways to push his power to its limit right now.

Because he has returned from the Dark Continent.

At this stage, the method he uses to rapidly increase his internal strength through the use of potions is:

[Gluttony Potion] - [Nutritious Behemoth Meat] - [Nen Battery Potion]

This can be improved through two medications and nutritious food.

After leaving the Dark Continent, the problem becomes finding a nutritious food source.

To be honest, Kevin himself felt that 300,000 units of Nen was really enough.

Because of the Nen quantity battery, his body stores more than a million units of Nen Aura.

In addition, because of the [Power Potion], a potion that can increase Nen Aura output, his Nen Aura output already exceeded what he should be able to do at this stage.

Therefore, his basic qualifications are not a problem at all.

To enhance one's strength, it's better to focus on the various uses and combinations of Nen ability rather than improving one's foundation with potions at this stage. These require time and effort.

Besides improving their skills, the next step is to start preparing.

And that's where networking comes in.

Um--

Looking at it this way, it seems we really need to plan the Pharmacy properly.

It seems I need to spend some time crafting some C-class potion are easy to obtain and have practical uses.

Dentora Region, Batochia Republic.

Kukuro Mountain.

This is a local tourist attraction, and the reason it became a tourist attraction is quite bizarre.

Because a world-renowned assassin family lives in the mountains.

That's right, you can get this kind of clear information by searching for the term online.

Their family name is [Zoldyck Family].

As a world-renowned assassin family, they are able to openly display themselves like this.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the family's power.

Rather than calling it a family, it's better to think of it as a large Nen ability organization.

Apart from the top few national powers, few non-governmental organizations in the world can compare with the Zoldyck Family.

This family's existence in this country can be described as a country within a country.

A Training Ground in the mountains.

The sounds of boys shouting "Hey ha ya ya!" could be heard from the field.

Qi is training on the field.

His sparring partner was a Zoldyck Family butler dressed as a waiter.

Several butlers were standing around.

A calm-looking, muscular, white-haired man stood on the sidelines.

He silently watched Qi's training.

He is Silva, Silva Zoldyck Family, the current head of the Zoldyck Family.

Although he remained expressionless, the butlers around him knew that Silva seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Killua's training results. If it had been a year or two ago, no one would have thought such training results were bad; in fact, they would have praised Killua's talent.

In terms of talent, the entire family knows that Qi is the best.

This makes Qi the center of the family at this stage.

But realizing one's talent takes time and practice.

Therefore, the family's training for Qi as an assassin was very comprehensive, and they were stricter with him than with other children.

Two years ago, after they returned from a mission, the Gold Card they carried had changed a lot.

Those medicines are so useful.

Silva valued several of these medicines highly and purchased them in large quantities.

And the drug was incorporated into Qi's training.

With the aid of the medication, Qi's training progressed by leaps and bounds, far exceeding the limits that his peers could achieve.

This also meant that Qi's already intensive training schedule took up even more time.

To be honest, Qi was suffering terribly.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have taken that card back then."

He was feeling somewhat depressed.

"But it's all better now."

Thinking of this, he felt a little happy, because about a few months ago, the medicine stored at home had finally run out.

The channels for purchasing the medicine seem to have been shut down for some reason.

This finally allowed him to catch his breath.

He was initially worried that he might inexplicably start using the medication again after a while, but he's not worried about that now.

It's very simple; almost half a year has passed, and he's long since let go of his worries.

This is also why Silva is dissatisfied with the current training results.

Having witnessed the rapid progress previously achieved with the potion, the current steady and methodical improvement has become somewhat slow.

But without the medicine, there's really nothing that can be done.

Just then, his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone.

This is my work phone; the information accessed on this phone is extremely important.

Today he received a text message that had nothing to do with work.

Looking at the text message displayed on my phone.

Silva remained expressionless, but he seemed to be in a much better mood.

The text message indicated that the Pharmacy had reopened.

"Are you back?"

The Zoldyck Family's intelligence network is considerable, and he also pays close attention to the Pharmacy.

He naturally investigated why the Pharmacy had closed and deduced that the person who made the potions had likely gone to the Dark Continent.

He also speculated that he arrived there by accident.

It seems he has returned at this stage.

He had unexpectedly arrived on the Dark Continent, and then returned. He didn't think too much about it; some things were irrelevant to him.

But the reopening of the Pharmacy is very important to them.

Suddenly a figure appeared beside me.

It was Illumi had just returned from work.

As a fellow member, he obviously also received this message.

"That guy's back, and the potion you've been waiting for is finally ready."

He looked at Qi on the field and said without turning his head.

Silva didn't talk to his son; instead, he seemed to be deep in thought.

"You know the owner of the Pharmacy, right?"

Upon hearing this question, Illumi nodded.

Of course he knew Kevin. He had known him for a very long time, back when Kevin was still very weak.

He was so weak at the time that he thought he could kill Kevin if he was willing to pay a certain price.

There was no need for it, so the minor conflict ended there.

After that—after that, there was absolutely no chance left.

When they met again, Illumi was deeply shocked by Kevin's inexplicable strength.

He couldn't quite understand why Kevin was so strong; he felt that Kevin's performance, or rather his talent, shouldn't be exceptionally strong.

At the time, in order to protect Qi, he watched Kevin's battles many times at the Sky Arena.

Therefore, I have never overestimated the other party's talent.

Silva picked up his phone and fiddled with it for a bit, but as he put it down, Illumi pulled out his own phone.

Look at the information above.

That was a transfer record.

But his work was already finished.

"Go talk to that shop manager and ask him to customize a potion for the Zoldyck Family."

Illumi would refuse to do such errands, even if it was his father's request.

But since the money has already been paid, that's another matter, even if it's my father's order.

He nodded calmly.

"Good."

Without further ado, he turned and left.

Work is here, time to get to work.

Hunter Association

The Dog) of the Twelve Zodiacs, Qi Qiduo, is currently processing some documents in his office.

After processing the documents, I carried them out of the office.

Suddenly, a short figure stopped and rushed over in a hurry.

With Yellow Hedgehog and tiger stripes on his face, this member dressed like a tiger is clearly the Tiger) of the Twelve Zodiacs.

"Dog!"

The moment this title was uttered, Qiduo's forehead veins throbbed.

The Twelve Zodiacs have many names for each other, and sometimes they are replaced by their respective animals, but this usually indicates dissatisfaction with the other party or an intention to curse.

If it's just a colleague relationship, people usually use the preceding Twelve Zodiacs to address each other, for example, Qiduo is called Xu.

Those with closer relationships naturally address each other by name.

"Kansai, stop shouting here."

The Tiger) in the Twelve Zodiacs, Kansai, is undoubtedly Enhancement Type, and is the stereotypical representative of Enhancement Type in everyone's mind.

Just by standing there and opening his mouth, you can tell he's an Enhancement Type.

The reputation of Enhancement Type characters has been ruined by guys like this!!

When is your pharmacist friend opening his shop? I've run out of stock!

Kansai ignored Qiduo's lecture and continued shouting and yelling on his own.

"Kansai! You're so noisy! Your constant noise is driving me deaf!"

A disgruntled voice came from the side, and the person who walked over was none other than Rooster Koto of the Twelve Zodiacs.

The already short-statured Kansai shouted at Koto, "What's it to you? You're the one who shouldn't be yelling!"

"It's shouting and yelling," Qiduo reminded her from the side.

"That's not important, pharmacist! I'm out of potions!"

Qiduo ignored him, but every week or two, he would come running up to her and yell at her.

He knew about Kevin's disappearance, and although he offered some help, there was nothing he could do.

"He's back now, so we should have news about the opening soon."

Koto suddenly said something.

These words silenced Kansai, and Qiduo gave her a strange look.

Koto knows Kevin and they worked together on Spiral Organization commission. Koto also helped clean up the mess Kevin made in the Food Village.

But little did she know that at some point, her relationship with Kevin had progressed to the point where they could be the first to know about each other's return.

Because Qiduo herself hadn't received any related information.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

Because Koto had previously taken on a case related to Kevin's disappearance and conducted a search, but it came to nothing.

It seems the other party pays close attention to this aspect; their Nen ability certainly allowed them to know the news the moment Kevin returned.

At that moment, all three of them picked up their phones simultaneously.

Looking at the messages on my phone.

Kansai shouted and yelled, then left happily.

Auntie said, "I need to go see him. I have a custom-made medicine. Do you want to come?"

Qiduo thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, she and the other person were friends. Since he had been missing for so long and had come back, it would be good for her to go and see him. Besides, she also needed some medicine.

Kevin's potion is indeed very effective.

Especially on days when Pharmacy are closed.
