Chapter 188

“How did you eat so much?” Lin Jie took a look at Gilian’s flat stomach . It was hard to imagine that it contained dozens of animals… raw . Lin Jie shivered on the thought of the bloody scene .

The waiter coughed and said, “Sir, if you don’t pay now, there will be an extra service charge . ”

Lin Jie took out 130 gold coins unwillingly . This little fellow had cost him half a month’s profit from the Provisions Shop! If there was no high-level mission from her, it would be a great loss to Lin Jie!

Lin Jie thought evilly, ‘If that’s the case, I can send her to the red-light district . She will probably be popular there . ’

The dark-robed Gilian rubbed her stomach and said, “Haha, still hungry . ”

Lin Jie stared at her and said, “Next time you want to eat, you can go to the Stranglethorn Vale . You can have all the tigers you want there . ”

“Okay, sure!” Gilian nodded excitedly .

Lin Jie said, “What can I do for you?”

It should be mission time after the meal, right?

Unexpectedly, Gilian stretched herself and laid on the sofa . “I need to take a nap…”

Seeing Gilian’s attitude, Lin Jie called the waiter and paid his bill before leaving the restaurant . The restaurant had an hourly service charge . Since the character card was in his pocket, Gilian had no place to run .

NPCs had intelligence too . Lin Jie believed that the way he was acting rich might let Gilian think that she could take advantage of him . He decided to leave Gilian alone for some time and let her suffer first .

He returned to the Sky Provisions Shop and greeted the hardworking Bella . Lin Jie then walked up to the second floor . Seven Ears was working hard too . After two months of the game, his Perfect Potion Mastery had reached the middle level at 35% . That was a decent result .

When Lin Jie arrived, Seven Ears was done with the potion-making . With a green glow on his fingertip, the emerald color Natural Recovery Potion got a darker color .

That was a modified potion! Seven Ears’ famous skill .

Seven Ears gave a faint smile and kept this modified potion in the precious crystal storage box on the side .

Lin Jie took a look and saw 70 other colorful modified potions in the storage box .

“Boss, good morning . ” Seven Ears quickly greeted Lin Jie when he saw him .

“It’s noon now . ” Lin Jie smiled and asked, “How many Middle-Grade Natural Recovery Potion have you made?”

Seven Ears opened up the storage page confidently and said, “5,000!”

“What? So many?” Lin Jie was taken aback .

“Yea, but now I’m stuck . A while ago, I realized that my proficiency was growing very slowly, so I decided to make 10 potions simultaneously… Sadly, the system only recorded it as one . So this skill is not really useful . Boss, I know you need the potion urgently, so I’ve been making potions this way…”

Lin Jie’s eyes were wide opened . How was it even possible to make 10 potions at the same time? He asked quickly, “Show me how you made the potions . ”

Seven Ears walked towards the ingredient table and grabbed a bunch of herbs . He smiled and said, “That should be enough . ”

Then, he started making 10 potions at the same time .

Perfect Potion Mastery was perfect because it allowed the materials to function fully in potion-making . But if they were added blindly in order to pursue quantity, the only result was the destruction of those materials .

Lin Jie’s eyes were filled with doubt . Was that theory wrong?

But that was not possible . Even though Lin Jie was not an expert in potion-making, it was common sense that everyone should know .

Seven Ears was making the normal Middle-Grade Health Potion . With the ingredient of 10 bottles mixing together, a paddle of red liquid was formed . It was vibrating violently as though it was going to explode .

That was what Lin Jie was talking about!

Seven Ears took out a modified potion from the storage box and added one-tenth of it to the liquid . The liquid engulfed the potion and settled down slowly . It was completed .

Compared to the Middle-Grade Health Potion, this bottle was more condensed .

[Condensed Middle-Grade Health Potion]: Recover 300 hp .

Lin Jie frowned, “Isn’t this the same as the normal Middle-Grade Health Potion?”

“Yes, indeed . ” Seven Ears took the potion and continued, “I called this the syrup . It can make 16 bottles of Middle-Grade Health Potion after dilution . It’s more efficient this way . ”

“But as you can see, the time taken for making the syrup is long, and its effect is exactly the same . This means that although I can mass produce the potion, my proficiency will still increase slowly . ”

“If you need a lot of them, I can…”

Lin Jie interrupted, “Carry on increasing your proficiency . The secret of the syrup is in the modified potions, right?”

“Perfectly Modified Potion to be exact . ”

Lin Jie nodded and said, “Time to recruit more people in the Provisions Shop . ”

Taking off his helmet, Lin Jie took a look at the time . It was only two days before the beginning of school, and his parents were already busy with their son’s upcoming college life . They almost moved the whole house over . They did not do so eventually because Lin Jie pointed out that his sister could not live together with him . Thus, they only prepared some daily necessities such as sheets and blankets .

Lin Jie looked at the well-packed luggage and smiled . He thanked his parents and left the house . He needed to find, or rather, recruit someone .

“Afternoon Jie . ” Zhou Guohong was leaving his apartment with a stack of test papers too .

Looking at the papers, Lin Jie laughed, “Mr . Zhou is off to torture your students again?”

Zhou Guohong laughed too . “Yeah, some of them are for your sister . ”

After saying goodbye, Lin Jie took the maglev train to Hai City . With the rapid development of science and technology, it only took slightly more than ten hours to travel all over the country . Hai City and Jiang City were very close, and they were two famous port cities .

Walking out of Hai City Station, Lin Jie took a taxi to Star District . Although the name might suggest that it was a luxurious place, it was full of low-rise houses similar to the place where Lin Jie used to live . It was the so-called “poor area . ”

Poverty gap was inevitable in any era .

However, one advantage was that the price of the houses in this place was quite low . For only 80,000$, Lin Jie purchased three houses from the fat landlord who was showing her friendliness through making a weird smile with the fats on her face .

Lin Jie completed the trade contract and brewed a cup of tea for himself . It was about this time that the man came .

The man he was waiting for was called “Rock Lee . ” The in-game name was “Rock•Lee . ” Those who knew Naruto would know that it was a name for a hard working ninja who was good at taijutsu .

Knock-knock .

There was a knock at the door, and a middle-aged man with mustache leaned in and said, “Landlord, here I am again . I’ve come to see you more than 50 times this month, and your room hasn’t been rented out, has it? Just rent it to me . ”

“Come in . ”

The man was flattered and opened the half-covered door . He was shocked to see a young man and adjusted his clothing in haste .

He sat opposite Lin Jie and asked, “I’m sorry… you are?”

“I’m the owner of the house now,” Lin Jie said as he waved the contract in his hand . “You want to rent the house?”

It was hard to imagine that a middle-aged man who was so depressed would wear a suit and tie . That was his only proper attire . He said earnestly, “Landlord, my name is Rock Lee . I am very poor now, very, very poor! But my child will be very successful . He had an offer in No . 1 Junior High, but they need an address to send report cards and assessment reports every month . They need at least a unit number . We used to live in places where we didn’t even have a unit number .

“Although my son’s performance meets the requirements of special consideration, the problem of unit number must be solved . Otherwise, we may not receive the letter at all . So… I hope you could rent me this house . I may not be able to pay the rent for the time being, but I promise that as long as I make money, I will pay you back! With interest!

“Even if I can’t make money, my son will definitely make a lot of money! I promise!”

Looking at Rock Lee’s solemn face, Lin Jie knew that this kind of person would either struggle to the death in life or succeed in difficulties! It was the same in his previous life . It took him three months to convince the landlord, and in the next year, he changed countless jobs but was barely surviving .

Then, he entered The New Age because he heard that he could easily make a lot of money!

In order to collect money for a set of gaming equipment, the poor man went crazy in borrowing money . He asked from the landlord, relatives, familiar and unfamiliar friends… he almost abandoned his dignity . Finally, he scraped up enough money to buy the gaming equipment and entered the game . He became a well-known potion maker that was comparable to the Potion King!

Potion King was good at making modified potions .

As for him, he was good at his stamina and focus! He could work 72 hours non-stop in potion-making . He was able to overload his brain and body for ten hours at the same time . He alone could make enough potions for the entire guild!

Seven Ears was the Potion King, and he was the Potion Maniac!
