Zong Shen slapped his forehead!
A business opportunity was right under his nose!
He had just browsed the market, but hadn't found a single item that could restore health.
As for potions, they didn't exist at all.
There were plenty of herbs and raw materials, but without recipes and specialized buildings, it was impossible to make potions.
But what other lords didn't have—
he did!
Although Zong Shen didn't have any potions, he had a Moon Well!
Just 1 ml of Moon Spring Water could restore 1.2 health, and the effect was immediate!
Most importantly, the Moon Well could produce Moon Spring Water around the clock.
It was practically an inexhaustible "potion" factory.
At the thought of this, Zong Shen looked as if he'd just found five million yuan on the roadside. His excitement and delight nearly spilled from his face.
He hurried over to the Moon Well.
By now, the Moon Well had produced more water. Not counting what had been used to treat Colby, there were still about 200 milliliters in the well.
The [Market] allowed liquids to be traded, and no container was needed.
Standing beside the Moon Well, Zong Shen began to calculate.
The average lord probably had between 120 and 180 health, and at most, no more than 200.
So, listing it in 40 ml portions would be ideal! That could restore 48 health.
"The secret to wealth! This Moon Well is the secret to wealth!"
Zong Shen grew excited.
"But I can't call it Moon Well Water. That's too ordinary!"
"The name of a listed item can be customized. So, let's call it Tears of the Moon Goddess!"
"And set its category to potions!"
A Tier 1 [Market] could list up to three items at a time.
With that in mind, Zong Shen opened [Crafting] right where he stood.
It took him three minutes to make a brand-new wooden bucket.
Then, he carefully ladled Moon Spring Water into it.
Carrying the bucket over to the market, he began listing his item.
[40 ml Moon Spring Water]
[Custom Name: Tears of the Moon Goddess]
[Effect: Restores 48 health when consumed]
[Listing Price: Wood ×100 / Iron ×30 / Hemp ×80 / Refined Food ×15]
[Note: Buying blueprints, skill books, and special materials. Private message me.]
Zong Shen listed one portion and offered several types of resources in exchange.
100 wood or 30 iron.
Or 80 hemp and 15 refined food.
That amount of resources wasn't small, but most lords who had been gathering diligently could afford it—though it would certainly sting.
Some wealthier lords would even have resources left over after buying one.
After listing three portions of Moon Spring Water under the name [Tears of the Moon Goddess], Zong Shen returned to the cabin.
He planned to check the sales after getting some sleep.
Then he would adjust the prices.
Meanwhile, his Private Chat Channel began lighting up like crazy.
In just a short while, he'd received over a hundred private messages.
Fortunately, the chat function was quite sophisticated. With a single thought, Zong Shen could filter messages for the keywords he wanted to check.
He looked through them. Most were useless spam.
A few people claimed to have blueprints, but they were all worthless Common-grade scraps.
For example, a [Tier 1 Wooden Bowl Blueprint].
Others said they had special materials.
Zong Shen was even more speechless when he saw those.
[Dried Behemoth Dung], [Dandruff Fallen by a Passing Dragon], [Beast Bone Chewed by a Two-headed Ogre]...
After glancing through a few, he closed the [Channel] and enabled Do Not Disturb and message filtering.
He lay down on the cabin's rickety wooden bed.
Perhaps because he was exhausted, or perhaps because he didn't have a care in the world, he soon began to snore evenly.
When the second half of the night arrived, he would have to get up and keep watch!
The beasts outside the courtyard continued to howl.
He could even hear two beasts roaring as they fought.
Some beasts had come near the courtyard, too, but without exception, Luna had killed them on the spot!
They included Grassland Wolves, Burrowing Rats, and Arrow Porcupines—all ordinary beasts.
Luna had no trouble dealing with them.
They earned Zong Shen some experience points.
They also left behind rewards and carcasses for Zong Shen to collect.
Luna could kill enemies and earn rewards, but she couldn't pick them up.
The same went for treasure chests.
Unopened chests could only be opened by the lord, making them effectively "invincible" in a way.
No unusual beasts appeared all night.
The farmers endured their fear until late into the night, then finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
The night was so quiet. It was hard to know how many people would sleep safely until morning.
In the second half of the night, Luna woke Zong Shen.
Zong Shen took out his Kite Shield and sharp Germanic Sword and walked out of the courtyard. Luna took the Black Panther into the cabin to rest.
Fully armed, he stretched.
Then he began checking the notifications.
"The item you listed, [Tears of the Moon Goddess], was purchased by Lord Chen Xuan1994718. You received Iron ×30. Please visit the [Market] to collect it."
"The item you listed, [Tears of the Moon Goddess], was purchased by Lord Thomas1991518. You received Wood ×100. Please visit the [Market] to collect it."
"The item you listed, [Tears of the Moon Goddess], was purchased by Lord Abraham1984323. You received Refined Camel Jerky ×15. Please visit the [Market] to collect it."
Within half an hour of Zong Shen listing them, all three portions of Moon Spring Water had sold out!
It seemed Moon Spring Water really was a hot commodity.
It was a genuine lifesaver.
Until effective healing potions became widely available, it would be in high demand and could earn Zong Shen a fortune.
What's more, Moon Spring Water restored health instantly.
In battle, it could quickly heal wounds and turn the tide.
Its prospects and effectiveness were both exceptional.
Zong Shen had slept from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
In those six hours, the Moon Spring had produced another 300 milliliters of Moon Spring Water.
Wealth! This was wealth!
Zong Shen listed three more portions.
Then he saw Luna's kill notifications.
Colby had also woken up by now.
He and the Giant Wolf had fully recovered from their injuries.
They began "picking over the corpses," gathering the items that had dropped.
They also disassembled the beasts' carcasses.
[Disassembled Grassland Wolf Carcass ×1]
[Obtained Fresh Wolf Meat ×10]
