34: The main point is to do what you can!
Wei Ge had seen people competing on connections, on skills, on price, and even on background.
But he had never seen someone compete with themselves to this extent.
Exchanging finished Medicinal Pills for three sets of medicinal ingredients demonstrated a confidence forged through countless trials, as well as an untamed pride.
It proved that this little guy firmly believed he could refine Medicinal Pills with just three sets of medicinal ingredients.
Wei Ge believed he could do it, because the quality of the freshly sold Medicinal Pills was evident.
But isn't the quantity too much!?
Wei Ge felt a pang of toothache, but seeing that the child needed help, he had no choice but to continue helping him call out for customers.
Occasionally, people wearing Three-Leaf Clover Group badges appeared in the crowd, but upon seeing that it was a Pinnacle Grade Two Alchemist selling, they only dared to leave dejectedly, not daring to cause trouble.
Soon, all the Medicinal Pills on the table were sold out. During this time, Tang Gao enthusiastically introduced which Medicinal Pills to buy and how much to use, based on the customers' needs. If there were any further questions, they could search for the Three-Leaf Clover Group's public information on Qiandu and use the products according to the instructions there.
Now, with just a tap of a finger, one could find the Three-Leaf Clover Group's internal information on Qiandu.
Wei Ge had already called the Dan Yao Association, and they quickly sent a vehicle to deliver the medicinal ingredients.
Tang Gao hummed a little tune, tidying up the small table, preparing to close up shop.
The surrounding passersby were very enthusiastic towards him:
"Alchemist, will you be selling tomorrow too?"
Tang Gao smiled and nodded, "Yes, I'll sell as usual tomorrow. As long as the Three-Leaf Clover Group is in Liang City for one day, I'll sell for one day."
Wei Ge sighed, "You're really going for it, kid? Aren't you afraid they'll retaliate against you?"
Tang Gao pouted, "If I give up resisting because of fear, how stifled would I live?"
Wei Ge shook his head, saying nothing, but cupped his hands, "Good kid, you've got spirit. I admire your character."
The Three-Leaf Clover Group had already been targeted by various official organizations, and recently, some unclear underground organizations were also besieging the Three-Leaf Clover Group.
At this critical juncture, the Three-Leaf Clover Group might not have the leisure to deal with this little guy.
Besides, selling such a small quantity of Medicinal Pills couldn't possibly disrupt the market.
Tang Gao chuckled, calculated a bit, then cupped his hands, "I'm going to rest for an hour. After an hour, we'll continue selling Medicinal Pills."
The air fell silent.
A question mark slowly floated above Wei Ge's head: "What do you mean, continue selling after an hour? Aren't these all your inventory?"
Even the donkeys on a production team need rest, and you're not taking any?
Tang Gao smiled without explaining, instead hanging up a 'Resting for One Hour' sign. He walked towards the medicinal ingredient transport vehicle, waved his hand, and all the medicinal ingredients inside were absorbed into his spatial backpack. Then he waved to everyone with a bright smile:
"See you in an hour, bye-bye~"
Choosing to terminate the mission, the Alchemist Avatar instantly vanished from its spot.
Wei Ge was dumbfounded: "Huh? Spatial ring? Teleportation Spell?"
No, what's going on here?
Is some rich Young Master acting out a script?
Or is a Disciple of some big shot unhappy with the Three-Leaf Clover Group and coming to cause trouble?
The passersby were all stunned, watching the Alchemist disappear right before their eyes.
"Holy moly! What kind of Spell is that? Earth Evasion Spell?"
"That doesn't look like an Earth Evasion Spell. With an Earth Evasion Spell, people shrink into the ground."
"I'm dumbfounded, he's coming back in an hour?"
Wei Ge was a bit bewildered, sitting on the chair, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what was happening.
...
In the bedroom, Tang Gao sat on a chair.
He stretched his shoulders, feeling pleased: "It's a pity my Alchemy skill Rank is low, otherwise the efficiency of producing Medicinal Pills could be even higher."
With the Alchemy space, it was possible to achieve 24-hour production, but unfortunately, he couldn't find a better way to expand production at the moment.
Simply selling this small quantity of Medicinal Pills had a relatively minor impact on the Three-Leaf Clover Group's market.
To complete this task, extraordinary means were necessary.
Increase production, create a brand, find partners, innovate Medicinal Pills.
Currently, he could start with these four points.
"System, are there any Medicinal Pills that increase production?"
"[Searching... Search complete]"
"[One Mind, Two Uses: Allows the user to do two things simultaneously, requires the consumption of Mana and Mental Energy to maintain]"
"[Cost: Two years of cultivation]"
"[System: The user can have the Alchemist Avatar learn this skill, so he can refine Medicinal Pills by consuming Mana in the Alchemy space while selling Medicinal Pills.]"
Holy moly, what a good item!
This way, production could be increased. The Alchemist Avatar could produce non-stop all day, and the skill improvement speed and leveling speed would greatly increase.
"Buy it, buy it."
"[Alchemist's cultivation consumed. The Alchemist has learned this skill.]"
Tang Gao's eyes lit up, and he quickly sat up straight: "Then do you accept money?"
"[Updating the store System, the currency System has been added, synchronized with the real world. The user can use the QR code provided by this System.]"
Great! This way, the brand issue is also solved!
As for finding partners...
Tang Gao remembered that Violent Justice had been active in the black market, so it would be good to let him handle this problem. There was no need to do everything himself.
Medicinal Pill innovation was very simple.
Just directly consume cultivation to increase the Pill Formula Rank.
"Well, a four-star mission can't be rushed. It'll probably take a few more days to complete."
The main reason was that the Alchemist Avatar was too weak now. If he were a Pinnacle Grade Two Alchemist, and had a set of excellent Pill Furnaces and other productivity equipment, it would certainly impact the Three-Leaf Clover Group's Medicinal Pill market.
Tang Gao stroked his chin: "I need to find a way to get a profession card for the Alchemist Avatar."
The Alchemist Avatar's improvement speed was too slow, completely not on the same Rank as Violent Justice.
"[Mission searching... Search complete]"
"[Profession Mission: Refine one thousand perfect Medicinal Pills, taste one thousand types of medicinal ingredients, master one thousand Pill Formulas, and you can obtain the Shennong Alchemist Profession Card.]"
Tang Gao was momentarily stunned: "What?"
Is it that much grinding?
Thankfully, it's not me who has to grind, so I'll have to trouble you, Clone!
Not to mention how difficult it is to refine perfect quality Medicinal Pills, just the thousand types of medicinal ingredients and a thousand Pill Formulas after that will take a long time to grind.
Its difficulty was comparable to continuously grinding three evolution bars in the Blood Rage Servant case.
"Oh, can I assign an evolution bar to the Alchemist Avatar?"
Tang Gao just remembered this point and happily opened the Alchemist's personal panel to start filtering evolution directions.
"This Divine Power is really great, it even has this direction."
"[Alchemy Quality (Evolution Bar): Stage One · Rank 1 · 0%]"
"Not bad, not bad. Let's get another leveling plan."
Tang Gao began to arrange a work plan for the Alchemist, so he would have a fulfilling life to improve himself.
Finally, Tang Gao glanced at the progress bar of the four-star mission, which had only advanced by a single digit.
"As expected of a four-star difficulty, it looks like it'll take a week of grinding."
Tang Gao closed the panel and issued an order to Violent Justice: "The Alchemist is busy with Alchemy. Remember to take time to screen suitable information to make public and continue to pressure the Three-Leaf Clover Group!"
You little rascals, if I publicly release a little bit of information to let this matter ferment every day, I don't believe you can still stand your ground here.
Finally, Tang Gao looked at the requirements of the four-star mission, pondering what other methods could speed up the progress.
A flash of inspiration crossed Tang Gao's mind: "System, if I rob their medicinal ingredients and sell them, will it count towards the progress?"
The mission requirements aren't just about selling Medicinal Pills!
"[Searching... This plan is feasible.]"
Tang Gao burst into laughter and directly changed Violent Justice's work direction: "From today onwards, Violent Justice, you go rob the Three-Leaf Clover Group's medicinal ingredients and Medicinal Pills. Alchemist, you are responsible for refining and selling Medicinal Pills. For medicinal ingredients that cannot be refined in time, have Violent Justice sell them on the black market!"
One for military destruction, one for market destruction.
The main thing is to do what's within one's power!
The undying Violent Justice, and the grinding Alchemist Avatar.
I refuse to believe I can't complete a mere four-star mission.
