Chapter 232: Swamp Predicament
Absolute Taste Crispy Armpit: [No don’t, we can’t even grab it ourselves.]
Lone Wolf 2009: [To grab Big Shot’s medicine, I’ve even learned to card seconds, my hand speed has improved, but even so I can’t grab it every time, these people are terrifying.]
Black-faced Zhang Fei Squawks: [Big Shot, we go way back from the start, although you walk on your road and I walk on my road, can you add me as a friend? I’m afraid I won’t be able to grab it later.]
Yu Luo (006 area): [Your 002 area has such a good trading environment, and you’re so strong, you must have medicine on hand, give us a few areas a chance, instance mission is about to start, Big Shot, everyone will thank you.]
Absolute Taste Crispy Armpit: [I don’t have medicine, will you make up for it? So annoying!]
Yu Jiang spoke, [This batch of medicinal herbs was mostly earned from processing fees from 002 area players, so selling before the instance mission is released.]
Lightning Shrimp: [Wuwuwu, Big Shot is really a good person, back then I got heatstroke and thought I was done for, only grabbing Big Shot’s medicine saved me.]
Little Orange Cat: [Stop kneeling, it’s not like her medicine is free.]
Cai Gou Guoguo: [Your good partner Sicily not only charges money but also loots in a fire, jacks up prices, gives crystal coins, might even get fake product, you’re a team I don’t even want to mention, just got blacklisted and can’t buy, got anxious.]
Lone Wolf 2009: [I’m going to camp at the trading platform, no matter what you say, lifesaving stuff someone willing to sell at fair price, I think that’s great.]
Shishi Ruyi (003): [You don’t know blessings when you’re in them! Primary Healing Potion is just dozens of crystal coins, Intermediate Healing Potion is only 90 crystal coins, what god-tier area is this, we were scared of server merge before, now we only regret not coming earlier.]
[Player reputation reaches 2500, obtain achievement ‘Infamous’ ‘Renowned on the Road’]
Reward: Raccoon Supermarket Shopping Voucher 100
Fox Milk Tea Dessert Shop Coupon 50
Charging Card *1
Got it, Infamous is Desperate Poison Master on the Road, Renowned on the Road is First Alchemist.
No problem, Poison Master doesn’t honor martial virtue, what’s it got to do with her being an alchemist.
Yu Jiang happily collected the rewards, supermarket shopping vouchers stocked to 600, keep them for now and buy missing things later.
She can black eat black while rushing to craft medicine in the resource-scarce swamp, not because she has a giving spirit,
but because the medicine cabinet can’t hold that many medicinal herbs, escaping the Rainforest Instance yields too well.
002 area still has plenty of players who can plant medicinal herbs, even if can’t gather on the road later, can replenish, otherwise Yu Jiang would definitely hoard them and not sell anymore.
Still don’t know what environment comes after the swamp.
Now the most expensive survival essential supply is mineral water, no rain for days, water in the swamp can’t be drunk.
Can endure hunger for a few days, without drinking water can’t last two days.
003 area not merged yet, in just these few days lost nearly a thousand people. Many couldn’t help but risk going to swamp for water, then got infected with parasite worms.
Not exaggerating, drinking urine is better than swamp water.
Some plants on the road have strong water storage, roots have moisture, non-toxic, can be used in emergency, a few even have special effects, making players feel not thirsty or hungry for a day, spirit fully restored.
Just like opening a blind box, but hard to find, even if encountered, people who don’t recognize these plants don’t dare try easily.
Gathering intermediate and advanced medicinal herbs requires lighting up the Medicinal Material Illustrated Guide, light screen can scan.
Rainforest Map has thousands of plants, only a few can be scanned, still have to rely on self or find way to get illustrated guide.
Yu Jiang knows some professions can obtain Rainforest creature illustrated guide.
Han Jiang Gu Ying has it, he sold plants that provide moisture before.
Supply boxes can also yield incomplete illustrated guides, can buy, just expensive.
Yu Jiang originally wanted a set, found collecting complete ones too hard, time-consuming and resource-heavy, gave up, anyway poison won’t kill her, mildly toxic fern she eats as usual.
She still forages various small berries in the rainforest, public screen says eating them causes dizziness, fruit that looks like gooseberry, she was fine.
Competition on trading platform still fierce, less than a minute, listed medicine swept clean.
Public screen here, players from several areas asking if after server merge there will still be medicine at this price, Yu Jiang says not necessarily.
She can’t sell at a loss, subsidizing out of pocket, medicinal herb costs up, medicine will definitely be expensive.
Yu Jiang got up from the sofa to wash up, prepare to rest early, although these two days beat other areas’ bandit teams so they don’t dare show heads, but counting numbers, this is nothing.
As long as there are people on this road, there will be conflict.
006 area survival count under ten thousand, also has various outlaw teams, combat power ranking second is their area’s Joy, this person hasn’t shown up yet.
And 009 area’s Blue Umbrella, both of them should dominate in their own game areas.
Yu Jiang suspects 006 area team cooperating with Black Wind is someone sent to probe 002 area strength.
Merchant Caravan spent so many supplies not at a loss, not fighting this wave, no good days later.
Yu Jiang also for her herb suppliers, no one can hit her suppliers!
Later upgrade needed alchemy experience is terrifying, without people providing medicinal herbs, relying on self-gathering would take forever.
Purple Butt Can Do It really calculated for her, based on her full process gathering advanced medicinal herbs to refining time, would take decades to accumulate level 7 experience.
Besides, no people left, who does she sell her medicine to?
Yu Jiang finished washing up, wearing slippers and pajamas went to second floor, about to rest, saw private chat message.
Big order came.
Blue Umbrella (009): “Hello, please craft a batch of Advanced Healing Potion and Repair Paste, how to price? I can give you a tempering recipe, you can use if you have skill weapon, adds 5-second paralyze BUFF.”
Yu Jiang leaned against bedhead, in a Ge Daye lying down slacker pose, but thinking inside, how does he know about tempering and skill weapons.
He’s also a Poison Master, or his team has a Poison Master.
“Depends when you want it, if not urgent like 002 area, Advanced Healing Potion success rate low, 30% materials, if you want tomorrow, add to 35%.”
Yu Jiang can of course charge 50%, but doing so many players can’t gather materials, her gained alchemy experience would decrease.
Sicily already made Advanced Healing Potion, but his success rate too low, charges 50% of finished product, if refining fails buyer eats the loss.
One set of materials can yield several potions, if success his plan actually okay, premise he honors reputation.
Not using others’ materials to boost own experience, in the end not giving the stuff.
For strong teams, Sicily honors reputation, ordinary people not so sure.
“What conditions for the recipe?” Yu Jiang asked.
Blue Umbrella: “Processing reward no problem. I want to know how you cleared two BOSS instance second morning, also first kill reward content and Advanced Healing Potion refining experience.”
He also cleared two BOSS, second afternoon, quite a bit behind first kill team time, and his team config better.
Yu Jiang: “Deal.”
