Chapter 95 93. Acquirer

"Learnable skill detected: Elementary Antidote Potion [Pharmacist], learning cost: 1 skill point."

"Learnable skill detected: Elementary Physical Recovery Potion [Pharmacist], learning cost: 1 skill point."

"...Basic magic recovery potion [Pharmacist], learning cost: 1 skill point."

"... Intermediate physical recovery potion [Pharmacist], learning cost: 2 skill points."

As soon as Raymond entered the first drugstore, he directly included four skills.

But if Arya stood in front of Raymond at this time, she would definitely not recognize him at this time.

Arya was at home at the time and indeed didn't recognize him.

Because his current appearance is completely different from his previous appearance.

If Raymond looked like a sunny boy full of masculinity after awakening as a warrior, then he was completely the opposite at this time.

Now he looks thin with thin cheeks, a dull face, and narrow eyes. His whole person exudes a cold temperament, which is completely opposite to his previous appearance and temperament.

This is the result of using the disguise skills of a hunter and using various cosmetics based on what he saw in his previous life.

Arya almost shouted when she saw him at home for the first time.

This kind of disguise is difficult for other hunters to achieve.

However, as long as the hunter takes a few more glances, he can still see the traces of camouflage on Raymond's face with his careful observation ability.

The drugstore owner saw him coming in and saw that he was not wearing any equipment and didn't bring anything with him, so he asked, "Are you going to buy potions?"

No... Raymond answered in his mind, but with a smile on his face: "Boss, do you have a 'strength potion' here?"

Strength Potion: One of the advanced potions. As long as other professions except warriors drink it, their strength will be greatly improved within 5 minutes, comparable to that of warriors. However, if warriors drink it, the effect will be halved.

However, it has a disadvantage, that is, after drinking it, other professions' strength is improved, but their own physical fitness is not strengthened. During a battle, it is easy to break one's bones accidentally.

When he heard that what Raymond wanted to buy was a 'strength potion', the drugstore owner immediately said, 'Are you here to cause trouble? 'Looking at Raymond.

If it weren't for the gloomy aura on his body, he would have been ready to speak harshly. In the end, he said angrily: "We don't have this kind of potion in our store. You can go to other pharmacies."

'Strength potion' is a high-level potion, and there are very few 'pharmacists' who can understand the skill of making it.

Pharmacist is a very special profession.

Although it is much easier for them to master skills than other professions, their potion-making skills cannot be upgraded!

For example, 'Elementary Physical Recovery Potion' is a skill, and 'Intermediate Physical Recovery Potion' is another skill. There is no upgrade relationship between the two, and they are two different skills.

Regarding this special situation, the author of the skill book has speculated that this phenomenon may be caused by the different herbs used to make these potions.

However, this also leads to a situation. Although the vast majority of pharmacists can understand four or five skills, they are basically skills for making elementary potions. Very few can understand the skills of making intermediate potions, and even fewer are advanced.

Of course, Raymond also knew this, so he was not surprised at all when he heard the drugstore owner's obviously driving away tone.

But there was nothing he could do. He didn't plan to buy the potion in the first place, he just came here to collect the 'skills', so he could only use this method.

After Raymond came out, he quickly entered the next pharmacy and did it again in the same way.

Throughout the morning, Raymond visited almost all the pharmacies in the entire East District.

The panel also includes all the primary and intermediate detoxification, healing, physical recovery, and magic recovery potions that can be purchased in the market of Waiters Town as expected.

As for advanced potions, Raymond only included 'advanced detoxification potion', 'advanced magic recovery potion' and 'strength potion'.

"It seems that there are very few pharmacists who can understand the skills of high-level potions. No wonder the price is so expensive!"

When Raymond entered the store, he also wrote down the prices of all the potions.

It is impossible for him to understand all the skills for making potions, and there are not so many skill points for him to waste.

Although the learning cost of elementary potions is 1 skill point, the intermediate potions are 2 skill points, and the advanced potions are 3 skill points, it does not mean that their prices are the same!
Among the four common potions, the most expensive ones are the 'Healing Potion' and the 'Magic Restoration Potion', which are sold at a high price of 20 silver coins for just the basic level.

The 'Stamina Restoration Potion' and 'Detoxification Potion' cost 10 silver coins each, while each cost only 5 silver coins.

The price of the potion has a great relationship with the production cost, the difficulty of collecting the herbs, and the number of pharmacists who have mastered the skills.

But the most important thing is that this is the price set by the 'Alchemist Association', and the 'pharmacists' are not allowed to join forces to maliciously raise prices or engage in market competition to reduce prices.

As for the intermediate potions, the price of 'healing potion' and 'magic recovery potion' reached eighty silver coins, and the 'physical recovery potion' and 'detoxification potion' also cost fifty silver coins and thirty silver coins.

As for advanced potions, they are even more expensive. Even the 'Advanced Antidote Potion' is sold for one gold coin plus fifty silver coins, while the 'Advanced Magic Recovery Potion' is sold for two gold coins plus fifty silver coins.

Strength potions also cost up to two gold coins.

"Unfortunately, I only have one skill point now."

However, Raymond has no idea of ​​learning high-level potions now, because he felt yesterday that pharmacists in pharmacies on the market are rushing to buy the main materials for refining intermediate potions, and the 'underground pharmacists' who want to collect will only get more Difficult, let alone the main ingredient for high-level potions.

So Raymond's current plan is to prepare to learn the 'Elementary Healing Potion' and 'Elementary Magic Restoration Potion' first.

After collecting the skills at this time, Raymond needs to consider candidates to help him purchase herbs.

It's hard to find such a person without a way out, but Raymond has his own way.

Soon, he chose a tavern and opened a private room on the second floor with a good view of the street.

He quietly observed every move on the street, and sometimes went downstairs to visit other pubs before returning.

With the hunter's keen observation ability, he almost understood the situation after just one afternoon of observation.

On this street, there are many purchasers who help the 'underground pharmacists' purchase medicinal herbs, and they are in a competitive relationship.

Those who bid low often have to wait for those who bid high to collect enough herbs before they can get their turn.

Many buyers, like Manik yesterday, were hiding in the streets and observing, waiting for the adventurers who were selling herbs to sell them, so they took the initiative to buy them.

But these are generally low-end purchasers. Their purchase prices are very low, and they are worried that they will not be able to purchase enough herbs, so they take the initiative to purchase them.

Those buyers with high bids do not need to worry about not being able to purchase herbs. They usually stay in a certain tavern and wait for adventurers to come to them to buy herbs.

"It seems that the price Manik gave us yesterday was indeed high... If the price he paid for it was our price yesterday, I'm afraid there would be no need to go out on the street to buy it."

Raymond looked at Manik, who had not yet purchased enough herbs on the street and was talking to several adventurers, and smiled.

Soon, Manik took them to the tavern where Raymond went yesterday.

But not long after, the adventurers came out immediately. Manik followed them and said something, but the adventurers shook their heads firmly.

Obviously, the deal didn't go through in the end.

When an acquirer on the street saw this situation, he immediately walked up and took the adventurers away with a few words. When Manik saw this, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Looking at this scene, Raymond had a slight smile on his face.

Finding a new acquirer by yourself is not as fast as poaching someone else's acquirer directly!
But Raymond was not in a hurry to go there.

……

In the next two days, Raymond continued to observe and inquire about Manik from various channels.

I know that when he was an adventurer in the past, all his teammates were wiped out on a mission, and he was the only one left alive. He retired directly after coming back.

I started working as a purchaser three years ago, buying herbs and selling potions for 'underground pharmacists'.

During this period, two 'underground pharmacists' were replaced, both because those two 'underground pharmacists' were caught by the Knights and had to be replaced as a last resort.

The two 'underground pharmacists' seemed to be very good people. When Manik purchased medicinal herbs for the two 'underground pharmacists', their bids were very high, so there was no need to go to the streets to recruit people.

But after switching to the current 'underground pharmacist', Manik began to solicit people on the street. Because the price of the purchased herbs was too low, many of the old customers and adventurers were no longer willing to sell to him after hearing about it.

"Hey, it's not done yet."

Manik could only shake his head helplessly as he watched several adventurers who had just failed to negotiate being taken away by other acquirers.

It's not that he is unwilling to pay a higher price, but no matter how high the price is, not only will he not make any profit, but he will also pay for it.

This is because the pharmacist sets the purchase price. No matter how much they spend to purchase the herbs, the price the pharmacist pays for the herbs from them remains unchanged.

Therefore, the pharmacist does not care whether they make money or lose money by collecting these herbs. The pharmacist only cares whether he can collect enough herbs.

If you often cannot collect enough medicinal herbs, the pharmacist will have to consider changing to a new buyer.

Manik's pharmacist set the purchase price very low. He had just used the pharmacist's purchase price to purchase medicinal herbs from the adventurers, but the adventurers did not agree.

In order to collect enough medicinal herbs, Manik often had to purchase medicinal herbs at a price that exceeded the purchase price of the pharmacist, and finally earned a share of the medicine by helping him sell the medicine.

They, the acquirers, often earn a share of the potion sales.

This reminded Manik of the two 'underground pharmacists' he worked with at the time. They paid him very high prices at that time, making Manik's purchase price one of the highest among all the acquirers. one.At that time, there was no need for him to be as embarrassed as he is now.

Unfortunately, the two 'underground pharmacists' were unlucky and were captured by the Knights.

The 'underground pharmacist' who offered a high price already had his own acquirer, so Manik could only be the acquirer of the current 'underground pharmacist'.

"The sun is going down now, and we still have half the herbs. It seems we can't do it without increasing the price."

Manik thought so, and was about to continue looking for the adventurer selling medicinal herbs, when he suddenly found someone stopping not far in front of him.

"Your name is Manik?" The person standing in front of him spoke in a hoarse and somewhat dull voice.

"Ok?"

Manik looked up and saw that the person in front of him was wearing a shawl, a cloak, and a hood on his head. His face was also covered by a gauze, with only a pair of narrow eyes exposed.

This outfit looks very weird.

"Are you?" Manik looked confused, and at the same time he was on guard.

As long as the other party behaves abnormally, he will run away without hesitation.

This is what people in their profession are like. As soon as they sense that something is wrong, they will run away.

"You can call me Rosey."

Luo Sai was naturally Raymond. After two days of observation and investigation, he had already made a decision in his mind.

Seeing that Manik was so vigilant, he raised his arm and flashed his 'pharmacist' professional logo.

Seeing that he was a 'pharmacist', Manik immediately relaxed a lot. After all, a pharmacist has no combat experience or skills.

So he said calmly, "Mr. Rossay, what do you want to see me for?"

"It's true that something happened, but I think it's better if we go to the private room you booked to talk." Raymond glanced at the crowd in the tavern.

Manik nodded.

The two quickly arrived at Manik's box. The location of the box today was different from yesterday. It was in a different place.

"Mr. Rossay, can you speak now?"

Manik looked at Raymond who had a calm look and sat down immediately after entering the room.

"Natural." Raymond chuckled in a hoarse voice.

Then he said, "You must have guessed my identity."

Manik nodded. With this outfit and his identity as a 'pharmacist', there would be no one else but an 'underground pharmacist'.

"To tell you the truth, I don't have a buyer of my own yet." A dull voice came from under the gauze.

"So, Mr. Rossay, you want me to help you find an acquirer?" Manik said immediately.

This kind of thing happens to acquirers like them sometimes.

After all, it is not easy for those 'underground pharmacists' to find a qualified acquirer if they have no other way out.

Raymond nodded slowly.

"I do know a few adventurers who are pretty good at it. Some of them have been acquirers before, including assassins, thieves, and hunters. I wonder what career you want, Mr. Rossay?"

Seeing Raymond nodding, Manik immediately said, looking very positive.

Because he knows that as long as the introduction is successful and the other party finds a satisfactory acquirer, the introduction fee will definitely be considerable!
'Pharmacists' are all trench masters!

But Raymond shook his head. Just when Manik was confused, he said slowly and directly in a hoarse and dull voice:
"The person I want to acquire is you, Mr. Manik!"

Manik's eyes widened immediately. Unexpectedly, he was approached directly by the pharmacist and asked to be his acquirer.

Could it be that good luck has really come to me?

But after all, he had been an adventurer for many years and an acquirer for several years. Although he was a little excited, he was still very calm.

He pondered for a moment and asked: "Mr. Rossay, can you tell me why you are looking for me?"

"Ha ha……"

Raymond chuckled and said slowly, "Because of your strength and experience... you have been an adventurer and acquirer for so many years without incident. I think you are very suitable."

After hearing Raymond's explanation, Manik nodded slowly, knowing that Raymond had already investigated him in advance.

Immediately he took a deep breath and said: "In that case, Mr. Rosset, you should also know that I have an underground pharmacist that I cooperate with. If I suddenly stop cooperating with the other pharmacist and become a purchaser for other pharmacists, the other pharmacist will probably be affected by this." Jealousy for falling in love with me..."

"Haha...of course I know."

Raymond leaned his back on the chair and said calmly, "You can listen to my conditions and it's not too late to make a decision."

Manik instantly sat upright.

Just listen to Raymond saying slowly: "I don't care what the price is for you to buy the herbs. I can buy the herbs I need from you at the private purchase price of those pharmacies... and I don't care about the profit from selling the potions." No matter how much you sell, I will charge [-]% of the market price of the potion!"

After speaking, Raymond slowly looked at Manik.

When Manik heard the conditions laid out by Raymond, he was stunned.

Purchase directly at the price of private purchase by the pharmacy?Even the two 'underground pharmacists' before him had never offered such a high price!
Not to mention those two, the entire town of Waiters is an 'underground pharmacist'. Since he became the purchaser, until now, he has never heard of anyone offering such a high price.

As for the profits from potions, there are very few 'underground pharmacists' who only charge [-]% of the market price.

Although their potions are indeed lower than the market price, they are often only about half a percent lower, but even so, there is an endless stream of adventurers who come to buy them, and they will not choose to go to the drugstore to buy them until they are sold out.

Therefore, those 'underground pharmacists' basically charge [-]% to [-]% of the market price.

And his current 'underground pharmacist' charges [-]%!
In other words, you will directly earn [-]% more profit!From half a percent before, it has become one and a half percent!

Income directly tripled!
No... It's more than three times. When purchasing medicinal herbs in the future, I don't need to pay any extra money, and I can even make a profit!
Then, Raymond thought of something, and then said: "Of course, one thing I have to tell you is that I don't have time to make potions every day, and there may be five or six days a month when I don't have time to make potions... So, If you don't want to..."

"I am willing!"

Before Raymond could finish speaking, Manik spoke directly.

He looked determined.

Even if the income of those few days is subtracted, the overall income is not comparable to what it is now, and it can be used as a few days of vacation for myself, so why not.

Then he immediately said: "Mr. Rossay, when do you want to start purchasing medicinal herbs for you? Also, what medicinal herbs do you need to purchase? How many bottles of each type need to be collected to refine? I know the formulas and dosages. , as long as you say it, I will never make a mistake!"

Looking at Manik who suddenly became very enthusiastic, Raymond blinked.

Where's the coolness of your many years as an adventurer?The changes before and after are too big, right?

"Hmm~"

Raymond pondered for a moment, "You first help me collect the herbs for refining the 'primary magic recovery potion'. The dosage of eight bottles will start tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Manik immediately said: "Mr. Rosse, in fact, I have collected the herbs for refining five bottles of 'primary magic recovery potion'. If you need it, you can just take it."

Manik said, taking out a backpack from the corner of the box, and then taking out a leather bag from his back.

He came to Raymond with the leather bag, opened it, and placed it on his desk.

Then he motioned to Raymond to see for himself.

"Uh……"

Raymond was stunned for a moment and took a look at the herbs inside. They were all herbs used to refine the 'primary magic recovery potion', especially the main ingredient 'Blue Spirit Grass', with five of them lying inside.

"This... you should have bought it for the current pharmacist, right? Give it to me directly now, is it okay?" Raymond looked at Manik and asked.

"fine!"

Manik waved his hands repeatedly to show that it was okay, "Also, Mr. Rosse, I am your acquirer now, and of course I must give priority to you!"

At this time, he still had the slightest fear that the 'pharmacist' would hate him as he had said before.

Raymond thought for a while, then nodded, "That's okay..."

Then, Raymond and Manik agreed on a time and place to meet tomorrow for handover.

Finally, when Raymond left with the herbs for refining the 'primary magic recovery potion', Manik also watched him go out of the street, and only returned to the tavern after making sure that no one was following him.

This made Raymond nod secretly. Although Manik was excited because of the conditions he offered, he was very sure of the appropriate measures.

Then, Raymond looked at the leather bag in his hand with a slight smile on his face, "It seems that we can try to make the potion tonight!"
