Astral Apostle

Chapter 72: 072 A road never imagined

Views:

Dozens of hunters rushed to the front of Bill's pharmacy, only a dozen hunters entered, and the others waited outside in peace.

Zhou Jing was pretending to look at the ledger with only one line. When he saw Jason leading a group of hunters, he suddenly made an unexpected expression and said in a surprised tone:

"You're here again, why are you bringing so many people? Did something go wrong with the medicine yesterday?"

"No, your potion is very effective, even better than the mass-produced products produced by the Imperial Workshop." Jason read the words in a stick-reading tone.

"Really?" Zhou Jing looked surprised.

"That's right, this is the best pain relief potion I've ever drank. I want to buy some more this time." Cole agreed, and then looked at Zhou Jing with a little surprise.

He still remembered the guy who came to borrow money from Jason, and he couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

"Of course, if I didn't know pharmacy, how could I have treated Jason at that time." Zhou Jing replied fluently.

Jason nodded: "Well, I found out that he was a good pharmacist at the time, so I suggested him to come to the capital."

One sing and one harmony, to round things up.

"It turns out that it is." Cole suddenly believed it.

The other hunters in the store looked around, curiously looking at the potions on the shelves.

Yesterday, Jason just bought a bottle of hunter potion and gave it to a few hunters. Not all of them had drunk it. Most of the people who came today were suspicious of Zhou Jing's level.

However, at the station yesterday, Jason and several hunters who had drank it were full of praise, and they highly praised the potions here, and made an appointment to buy them the next day.

Because Jason brought the goods in a high-profile manner, many hunters reluctantly believed it, and decided to take a try and take a look... Anyway, they are energetic and usually have nothing to do.

Dozens of hunters swarmed in groups, and the king did not dare to turn a blind eye. At this time, outside the door, there were more than a dozen guardians of the royal city closely following.

In the capital city of Tarn, the relationship between the imperial hunters and the guardians of the royal city and the royal family is not too rigid, unlike the fierce conflicts between the hunters of Baiyuan City and the guards of the lord, which is determined by the nature of the imperial hunters, but occasionally they like to have fun other side.

Zhou Jing introduced the effect of the potion to everyone and brushed his face.

Hunters are always happy to give money. Since they are here, they intend to consume them. They have bought pain relief potions, and some people have bought more than one bottle.

Some hunters even quietly bought a few bottles of energy potions.

A group of vulgar Yaxing, who naturally did not go shopping, must have a goal when they go out. After buying the medicine, many hunters did not stay and left.

Some go to women or men, some go to pubs to drink, some go to gambling stalls for charity, and each goes to have fun.

The guardian of the city, who came to monitor, euphemistically called it separate tracking. In fact, he was fishing with the situation. Some people walked out a few streets and showed up to hang shoulders with hunters they knew.

The shelves of the pharmacy have been swept, and the inventory of hunter potions has been reduced by a lot, but dozens of records have appeared in the ledger.

"This wave of income has made two hundred and forty-seven silver coins... Hunter's potion is really a high-profit business."

Zhou Jing shook Ding Ling's clattering purse with great interest.

The general potion is for the public, and the price is not too high, but the spending power of hunters is extremely strong. The price of ordinary hunter potions is about three silver coins, and the price of powerful potions is generally three times that of normal potions, which is much higher than the cost price.

If it weren't for Jason, a "big man" who is a middle-level cadre in the imperial hunter, it would be too much trouble to open the market.

He deliberately asked Jason to come over to buy a potion and distribute it to others, just to use Jason's connections and word-of-mouth effect to bring in the first batch of hunter customers.

When these hunters find out that the potion has excellent effects, they will bring customers and make their business popular, and their reputation will spread among the hunter group... Behind this, Jason needs to continue to fuel the flames.

This wave let Jason bring the goods, and Zhou Jing recovered nearly half of the initial investment in learning about pharmacy knowledge and preparing the pharmacy, which was really huge profit.

Zhou Jingzheng was calculating the account with great interest. The residents of the Wangdu who were watching outside saw the hunter leaving, so they walked into the shop curiously, and couldn't wait to ask about the situation as soon as they entered the door.

"Boss, are those hunters here to buy potions from you?"

"Isn't it because I broke my stomach and troubled you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Jing made a complacent expression and said loudly:

"Those noble hunters think the potions I make are excellent, and they bought dozens of potions from me. Did you see them happy with the potions when they went out? Even the hunters said yes after using them. Do you want some? ?"

Everyone looked at each other, a little moved.

This is a potion that the hunter personally certified. Even the hunter went into the city to buy it. It must be a good thing. It seems that you can rest assured...

With this in mind, many of the surrounding residents who were on the sidelines decided to trust Zhou Jing's level and bought a bottle of medicine to try it out.

Dozens of hunters entered the city together, which attracted attention on the way. Many people from other urban areas followed curiously. Seeing that the hunters were here to buy potions, they also entered Bill's pharmacy with interest and bought some potions.

Most people are not sick at the moment, so they mainly sell energy potions.

The price of generic potion is not high, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and there is still a good profit. Zhou Jing will not refuse to come.

Because of the driving effect of hunters, the pharmacy suddenly became lively, breaking the situation of no business a few days ago.

In the days that followed, the rumors became more and more mysterious.

In the beginning, it was a novelty of "dozens of hunters buy medicine collectively", and then it gradually turned into "the official product of the imperial hunter official certified Bill Pharmacy is excellent".

A lot of things happen every day in Wangdu, but this rumor has become a hot topic recently. It is not only the residents' mentality to watch the fun, but also Zhou Jing quietly spends money to find children on the street. The reason for the heat everywhere.

Zhou Jing is well aware of the effect of advertisements, and he also compiled a simple but memorable advertising slogan to teach children to spread it out and hype his own "brand".

— "Bill's Pharmacy, the hunter said yes after using it!"

This somewhat magical sentence was known by more people, it was catchy, and inexplicably remembered the name "Bill's Pharmacy".

As the matter spread more and more widely, a large number of residents of the capital came to hear the news, the pharmacy changed its quietness, and the customers became endless.

The repeat customer effect also broke out, and customers who had bought medicine before also came to the door for the second time.

These repeat customers are basically for the energy potion, which is the most popular potion.

No problem, it's just the taste of the marrow!

After all, food sex is also, in this world that lacks entertainment, the exchange of human body fluids is the biggest source of happiness.

And the potion that can amplify this sensory stimulation is the existence of a nuclear bomb.

Although it was somewhat different from Zhou Jing's expected reputation, the reputation of the pharmacy was indeed established among the public at an unprecedented speed.

However, within half a month, a consensus was formed in the hearts of the residents of the Royal Capital:

—This is the first aphrodisiac in the capital!

With an invincible momentum, he swept the aphrodisiac industry in the entire capital!

Zhou Jing also did not expect that the most troublesome life goal of the third apostle [to build a city-level monopoly industry] turned out to be the first close to success.

This time it was really an unimagined path.

The business is booming, and a large number of customers come to ask for medicine every day, and the threshold is almost broken.

Not only did the commoners buy it, but many blood relatives and court ministers of the tribe heard about the name and quietly sent people to buy energy potions.

Because the traffic is full every day, there is a team of guards patrolling nearby to maintain law and order.

Zhou Jing winked, and gave the guards a few spiritual potions for free. These guards were deeply moved, not only helping to maintain order, but even helping him solicit customers, and even more guards became loyal customers of the pharmacy.

There is a lot of demand every day, Zhou Jing's production is in short supply, and the energy potion is out of stock every day.

In the production of high-intensity pharmacy, pharmacy knowledge increased rapidly, and soon reached the level of Lv5 instinct.

At this stage, he is already regarded as an elite pharmacist, and with the [Pharmacist] talent and [Item Analysis Function], his level of making potions is comparable to that of a master.

Apostle Bill No. 3 also became famous in the royal capital in a subtle way...

Known as the master of aphrodisiac!

Zhou Jing didn't mind at all, Lu Ziye didn't mind, and a crooked name was also a name.

However, he also heard some bad rumors, as if some of his colleagues despised him, a guy who made "aphrodisiac", and expressed disdain on many occasions.

It may be difficult to enter the Imperial Workshop with this kind of fame.

But Zhou Jing didn't care, what he really bet on was the hunter potion, and the hunter group was the real authority.

The pharmacy is making a lot of money every day, and Zhou Jing makes a lot of money, but it also brings trouble. Many businessmen in the capital are jealous of this hugely lucrative potion, and they come to seek cooperation, and some people want to buy the formula.

Zhou Jing refused all of them, and he didn't really want to make money.

Although he has a reputation, the vain and unworthy reputation of "Aphrodisiac Master" is not enough to become a talisman.

Caibo moved people's hearts. As a "foreigner", he was naturally targeted. Valley

At night, in a dark alley, five masked men leaned in the shadows and talked in low voices.

"I've already inquired. The aphrodisiac Bill walks home every day. When he comes, we will tie him up and ask for the formula of the potion." The leader played with a dagger. The tone is somber.

Some people are worried: "What if the formula of this Bill's energy potion is not changed, but simply done well?"

"Impossible, I asked the pharmacist, he must have changed the formula." The leader replied flatly, thought about it, and said coldly: "But it's not important, let's take him away, go to a farther city, let him Make us potions and make a fortune!"

The crowd nodded excitedly.

They are a local gang of street gangs in the capital. They live in dirty shanty towns. They usually wander around various urban areas to do small cases, such as stealing things, burglary, and robbing passers-by. They often struggle on the line of food and clothing.

This time, I took a risk and sneaked into the well-ordered furnace area to commit crimes, just to do this big thing.

The business of Bill's Pharmacy is so prosperous, and the owner is just a foreigner and a weak pharmacist...

They feel that not doing it is simply wasting the opportunity for the rest of their lives to have food and clothing.

"I heard that this Bill has a good relationship with a certain hunter, will there be a problem?" Someone thought of this and couldn't help asking.

"What are you afraid of? After finishing this vote, we will go out to avoid the limelight. It is useless for him to know anyone."

The leader didn't care.

At this moment, a figure came from the far side of the street, followed by a dog, it was Zhou Jing.

"I'm coming!"

The little gang was refreshed and held its breath for a while, waiting for the target to approach.

One step, two steps, one step, two steps... Zhou Jing gradually approached this alley.

"superior!"

The leader's eyes flashed, and he took out his dagger and rushed out.

Without saying a word, he reached out to cover Zhou Jing's mouth and put the dagger against Zhou Jing's neck.

"Be honest, don't… poof!"

Before the leader could finish speaking, a fist appeared in front of him.

Bang!

The nose broke instantly, as if the sauce shop had opened, and the sour, spicy and bitter bursts in the skull cavity.

"Ah!" The leader screamed in agony, and squatted down, clutching his bleeding nose.

However, in the next moment, his eyes met Xiao Hei No. 1.

Xiao Hei No. 1 tilted his head, his eyes fell on the person's crotch, and he fell into contemplation.

Squatting down with your legs so spread out, isn't that the meaning of welcome to taste

Pick up front!

"Ah-"

The screams ripped apart the night sky!

The accomplices who followed had just rushed out of the alley when they saw a tragic scene.

The leader's nose was broken, covered in blood, and fell to the ground. A hyena bit the crotch and tore it with force. Blood splashed all over the place, and half of the ham was pulled off the egg.

"hiss-"

Several of the accomplices subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air, feeling the same, and their lower bodies were also aching.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps in the surrounding alleys, and I saw a dozen guards rushing out.

The captain of the guard walked up to Zhou Jing, looked at the lead kidnapper who was covering his crotch and howling, and couldn't help shivering.

The pain of a man is too resonant.

"Brother Bill, this group will be handed over to us."

"Thank you, everyone, come to my store tomorrow, and I will ask you a batch of energy potions as a thank you."

"Hehe." The captain of the guard rubbed his hands together with a smile on his face.

Only then did Zhou Jing kick Xiao Hei No. 1 to stop it from chewing, and it looked strangely painful.

He glanced at the group of enemies and rolled his eyes secretly.

This is the sixth wave of kidnappers I have encountered recently, and there are too many people who want to catch him and make a fortune.

Zhou Jing deliberately made a good relationship with the guards. Every time he went home, he escorted them. The reward was a potion of energy, and he occasionally invited him to dinner. The guards naturally didn't mind earning extra money before the curfew patrol.

After all, he is a weak pharmacist now, and I am embarrassed to kill all the kidnappers.

"I'm considered an underachiever now, and I haven't been recognized. When I enter the Empire Workshop and have an official identity as a talisman, this situation should not occur." Zhou Jing thought secretly.

Imperial Hunter Station, Workshop.

A regular meeting is being held, and the participants are the heads of the various departments of the workshop, reporting the latest output and consumption.

The top of the workshop looked at the ledger list, and soon found an abnormality, which made him a little puzzled: "Why have you stocked up so many pain relief potions recently? Isn't this a very commonly used potion? Why aren't hunters coming to get it?"

With that said, everyone looked at the person in charge of the hunter potion department.

The person in charge shook his head helplessly: "I asked, the hunters have recently gone to a pharmacy in the capital to buy this kind of potion, but no one wants what our workshop produces."

"Is there such a thing?" The top of the workshop was a little stunned.

They are a workshop dedicated to imperial hunters. It stands to reason that all the materials used by hunters are provided by them, and the quality is always guaranteed.

Especially the hunter potion, they have a lot of elites here, and the production is excellent. There is no need for hunters to go elsewhere to buy it.

Now that hunters choose others but not their own workshops, it seems that they are being compared. Doesn't this seem like the workshops are negligent

The top of the workshop was a little embarrassed, and said solemnly:

"Tell me about the situation."

The person in charge had already expected it and replied:

"Some time ago, a pharmacist named Bill appeared in the capital. He opened a shop and only sold three kinds of potions, one of which was pain relief potion, and the hunters said it was good.

But what he mainly focuses on is a kind of aphrodisiac, which is a revised formula of energy potion, which makes the senses more sensitive. I use it... Cough, I have studied it, and the effect is very good, so it has recently become popular in the capital, and the business is quite good. "

"Does an aphrodisiac?" The person in charge of the workshop twitched.

Good guy, our professional hunter workshop, the research institute of the empire, was actually compared by an aphrodisiac

This is hitting me in the face, this is pumping the royal family's ass!

He had a complicated expression: "Have you studied his pain relief medicine?"

The person in charge suddenly came to the spirit, nodded and said:

"His pain-relieving potion has also improved the formula, and the production level is very high. I personally went to his pharmacy and found that he has a lot of powerful potions in his shop. He probably has a very superb pharmaceutical production technology."

Biquge

"So this is a powerful pharmacist." The eyes of the workshop executives lit up, thought for a moment, and said, "In this case, send someone to investigate to see his level, and if possible, invite him to join the empire. workshop."

Others who didn't speak were stunned.

"But he's an aphrodisiac, and his reputation..." Someone couldn't help but question.

The workshop executive waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's not important to make aphrodisiacs, it's just a business chosen by others, and it turns out that it does make money, so don't be blinded by this appearance.

What's really important is that he can improve the hunter's potion formula and get the hunter's approval... I don't know how many potions the hunter has drunk in his life, and the pharmacist who can be praised by the hunter must be of good level. Such a talent cannot be let go. ! "

Everyone looked at each other, and although they were a little awkward, they still didn't object.

The workshop executive nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

... It's really humiliating to be compared by a folk who make aphrodisiacs. It's better to "recommend this person" as much as possible and become "one's own person".
