111: Reserve supplies
When his twin sister returned, her face was extremely grim.
"How was it, Captain?" Ily asked.
Everyone else looked towards the captain.
"As expected, Hell is about to invade the Star Realm Continent."
"Actually, it's not just us; the Elf Race has already detected it and has secretly sent many envoys under the guise of visits, but they are actually discussing countermeasures with our high-level officials."
Lin Ye suddenly recalled a piece of information.
It seemed he had heard about the Elf Race's visit when he was in White Stone City.
Everyone fell silent.
This crisis came so suddenly.
"First, prepare supplies. The most important thing in War is supplies," Lin Ye reminded.
With hearts full of worry, everyone dispersed to purchase supplies.
Lin Ye didn't have much money, but information on resource points was quite valuable.
The information he provided was very detailed, so he could basically get the maximum reward.
The newly discovered resource point alone gave him a fifty billion income.
Originally, Lin Ye hadn't planned to profit from selling information about resource points.
He intended to stay in White Mist City for a long time, so he chose a sustainable development path.
In the early stages, he would follow a team to complete missions and wait for his strength to increase.
After passing the growth period and becoming invincible.
He would directly create a development company, relying on the information of various resource points he controlled to gain huge profits.
The existing resource points for published missions were all widely known; not only in Xia Country, but other countries that had roughly explored them also knew, so there was competition.
But if Lin Ye had a lot of information that others didn't know, he would become the uncrowned king of White Mist City.
At that time, even the speed of printing money couldn't compare to him.
However, he urgently needed money now.
There would inevitably be a wave of War later.
Lin Ye went out a few times, explored several undiscovered resource points, and sold the information.
By this time, the staff had already noticed his peculiarity.
"Sir, are you interested in working in our mission hall?"
Lin Ye directly refused; with his ability, why would he work for someone else?
The manager was full of regret.
After several exchanges, he earned over five hundred billion, and then sold his only property, a Sky City villa worth over five hundred billion.
He gathered one hundred billion.
This was the most capital Lin Ye had ever held.
"How should I spend this money?" Lin Ye pondered carefully.
In times of War, there was no doubt that hoarding supplies was the best way to get rich.
However, there was also a knack to what kind of supplies to hoard.
Lin Ye came to the commercial street.
He carefully inquired about prices and found they had risen slightly.
If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't have cared about a slight price increase.
But Lin Ye, knowing that the Demon Clan was about to descend, understood that this was likely a precursor to War.
The big capitalists behind the scenes clearly had more precise information than them.
The lack of a drastic increase was probably due to official intervention to suppress prices.
Lin Ye had a spatial ability; after reaching Tier Seven, his space had expanded to over one hundred thousand cubic meters.
It wasn't small, equivalent to a size of 100 x 100 x 10.
It was much more impressive than a typical large warehouse.
But it wasn't large either; how could it be enough to store a hundred billion worth of supplies?
So Lin Ye didn't plan to store battlefield supplies like food. He decided to store relatively rare and space-saving supplies.
Especially consumables, which would sell best.
The first priority was various medicines.
The demonic power that the Demon Clan excelled at was extremely destructive to Life forms.
At that time, various recovery potions and healing potions would definitely be in high demand.
After all, healers accounted for a small proportion of all ability users.
Magic-based professions made up less than ten percent of the entire population, and healers were even fewer.
The ratio was often fifty to one.
Among fifty ability users, there was only one healer.
The reason why there were many magic-based professions around Lin Ye was because his circle was different.
In fact, many ordinary teams couldn't afford magic-based professions, let alone healers.
For example, the Wolf Fang team Lin Ye encountered was purely physical output. They simply gave up and only recruited physical damage dealers, focusing on a straightforward melee team.
Due to the scarcity of healers, healing potions and the like would inevitably become hot commodities later on.
Lin Ye found a wholesaler and wanted to purchase a large quantity of potions.
The small wholesaler clearly hadn't received news from the higher-ups and was delighted to see a large order coming in.
He was even happier to see Lin Ye than his own parents.
"Mr. Lin, please." Old Bai smiled and led the way.
Under normal circumstances, the sales of potions were not particularly good.
Although healers were scarce, because everyone was quite familiar with the situation around White Mist City, they generally wouldn't suffer too much damage when performing missions.
If they were injured, there were also specialized clinics for treatment.
That was much cheaper than potions.
These healers who ran clinics could get stable income without having to take special risks.
Unless it was an emergency, no one would be willing to use potions.
But when War arrived.
The healing capacity of existing healers wouldn't be able to keep up. At that time, the value of potions would soar and they would become necessities and frequently used consumables.
"What kinds of potions do you have?" Lin Ye asked.
Different potions had different effects, and their values naturally differed.
Recovery potions, which would be used the most after War, would definitely be the best sellers, while other special-purpose potions, although they would also rise, would definitely not rise as much as recovery ones. Lin Ye decided to only purchase recovery-type potions.
"We have healing potions, Star Power recovery potions, invisibility potions, strength enhancement potions, defense enhancement potions, and various other types, as well as some rarer potions," explained Old Bai, the wholesaler.
Rare potions? He wondered if they had the kind he wanted.
"Do you have potions that purify demonic power?" Lin Ye asked casually.
"Demonic power?" Old Bai was stunned.
"The kind used by Demons."
Old Bai tapped his head, pondering, "I have some impression of that, but it seems no one specifically manufactures it. Why? Do you need it, sir? We don't have it here."
"Then do you have the potion formula? How about selling it to me?" Lin Ye decided to look at the main ingredients first.
This might also be a way to make a fortune.
The demonic power of Demons was no ordinary thing; it was extremely corrosive and needed to be expelled by Holy Light, otherwise, only potions could be used.
Potions that expelled demonic power would inevitably sell well in the future.
"I can reveal the formula, but the price?" Old Bai rubbed his hands.
Potion formulas were much more valuable than potions.
Lin Ye didn't discuss that first.
"How much discount can you give me for purchasing one hundred billion worth of potions?"
"One hundred billion?" Old Bai didn't expect it to be such a large order.
He quickly said, "If it's one hundred billion, I can give you an eighty percent discount, and I'll even give you the potion formula for free."
Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction.
After some bargaining, the discount was lowered to seventy percent.
The classification of potions and equipment was similar: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Star Level.
Using potions of the same level had the best effect.
This wholesaler doing business in White Mist City naturally stocked Gold Level potions.
Gold Level potions were not cheap.
A tube of healing potion cost ten million, and a Star Power recovery potion cost twenty million.
Lin Ye purchased some of both types of potions.
He stored them in his space.
