Chapter 376: Even the products in this store are so monstrous
The luxury airship lands in a dedicated parking lot.
Not much time passed, and many figures in strange costumes came down from above. Boys and girls were eye-catching. They were all contestants of this "Academy Ranking Competition", and they all had arrogance on their faces.
In addition to the contestants and team mentors, there are also many companions of the contestants, some of whom are family members and some of whom are servants.
Among the players who can participate in this kind of competition, which one is an ordinary character?
They were either born into noble families, or had huge family support behind them, and some were even princes or princesses of a certain empire. How could people with such status be without people around them when they traveled far away.
As soon as they got off the airship, these people began to comment on the buildings they saw.
"I really don't understand why this ranking tournament was held in such a desolate place. How much hope did I have before coming here?"
Some people express their dissatisfaction directly.
"It seems that this town is still under construction. I originally wanted to buy some local gifts to take back, but now it seems that there may not be anything that can catch my eye."
A proud woman, surrounded by servants, looked around at the buildings on both sides.
"There's not even a hotel to entertain guests. It's really bad!"
There are many people who complain and express their dissatisfaction.
Since there was still some time before the "College Ranking Tournament", these people were among the early ones. They dispersed and prepared to take a look around.
"Grandpa, you see there seems to be a magic shop opened here. If we go in and take a look around, we will know what the level of this place is."
A young and lovely girl dragged an old man with a white beard towards a shop on one side, followed by more than twenty masters.
"Well, there have been a lot of rumors here recently, and I'm also curious about what items can be sold here." The old man stroked his beard.
The level of magic tools, potions, and scrolls sold in magic shops can reflect the local consumption level and the general strength of local magicians.
This magic shop has just been established a few days ago. Although there are some products on the counter inside, there are very few categories.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled softly, saying: "Grandpa, look, the highest potions sold here are only second grade."
"If there are any high-grade potions in a place like this, I don't need to look at other products."
The old man with the white beard is a well-known pharmacist himself. This time, in addition to accompanying his granddaughter to participate in the competition, he also wanted to see the level of pharmacy here.
He didn't have much hope, but the results confirmed his suspicions before coming here.
"How many guests want to buy something?"
At this time, a young shopping guide came forward and asked with a smile.
"Are the highest-grade potions here only second-grade?" the girl asked curiously.
As a pharmacist, what she knows best is all kinds of medicines.
Their family also has a pivotal position in the Pharmacists Association, and she has been exposed to relevant knowledge since she was a child. She is already a fourth-level pharmacist. After graduating from the academy, she will take over the family's related industries.
The girl had an idea at the moment. If the medicines here were generally of low quality, then their family could try to invest some of the unsaleable medicines here.
"Your Excellency, this store belongs to the 'Bedoson Family'. Due to its size restrictions, the potions sold are of limited grade. If you want to buy higher grade potions, you can go to the main store, where there are eight grade potions for sale." Shopping guide
Said politely.
Not just this shop, almost all the shops that can be seen on the street belong to the "Bedoson Family". To be precise, they all belong to the Elf Kingdom.
"Did you just say eighth-grade potion?" The girl was startled, thinking she heard wrongly.
"Yes!"
"Is there really an eighth-grade potion in this place?" the girl asked again.
You must know that the higher the grade of the medicine, the more precious the medicinal materials that need to be prepared, and the more stringent the requirements for pharmacists, which are often accompanied by a high risk of failure.
Once the preparation of the medicine fails, the precious medicinal herbs put in will be destroyed.
It is precisely because of this that potions of grade six or above are rare, and potions of grade seven need to be purchased at special large-scale auctions.
As for the eighth-grade potion, it can be regarded as a family heirloom. Who is willing to sell it?
"Please rest assured that the potions sold by the 'Bedoson Family' are absolutely authentic." the shopping guide said with a smile.
"Can you tell me where it is specifically?" The girl suppressed her inner doubts.
Would such a small place really hold an auction of "Eighth Grade Potions"?
If there really was an auction, why didn't we receive any flyers or publicity on the streets?
"Grandpa, do you think there will really be an 'eighth-grade potion' here?"
While walking towards the main store, the girl asked the old man beside her.
"Eighth-grade potion, just open your mouth and it will come. I'm afraid this is just a gimmick to get us to go to the main store." The old man sneered.
With his current reputation, he could only concoct a "seventh-grade potion" at best, and the success rate was very low. In total, the seventh-grade potion he had concocted by himself was only three bottles.
As for the "eighth-grade medicine", that was something he could only hope to achieve.
It is said that the "eight-grade medicine" cannot be prepared by a single pharmacist, but requires many pharmacists to work together to complete it.
"I think so too, but since I have nothing to do anyway, I always have to take a look." The girl suddenly laughed.
The location of the main store is easy to find. You can see it from a distance after walking a few streets.
To the girl's surprise, she saw many familiar figures at the entrance of the main store, all of whom were players who came together to participate in the ranking competition.
"Grandpa, there seems to be a situation over there. Let's get there quickly."
The girl couldn't help but quicken her pace, she could already see something unusual in the faces of some of the people inside.
When I entered the main store, I didn't expect it to be so big inside.
This is a building that extends downwards. I am afraid that this construction style is also for safety reasons.
As soon as you enter, you can see a section description with sample pictures and text, clearly describing the products sold in each section.
This design is quite novel and can save people from taking a lot of unnecessary steps, allowing them to go directly to all the areas where items are purchased.
"I didn't expect that there are five underground floors here!" The girl stared at the zoning description with surprise on her face.
This place was far beyond her imagination. Before entering, she thought it was just a slightly larger shop, but now it seemed like it was more like a large sales center.
"Alice!"
While she was distracted, the girl suddenly heard someone calling her name and hurriedly looked over.
Two women walked over from the opposite side, followed by servants.
Alice recognized them and waved hurriedly.
"Two seniors, I didn't expect you to be here too." Alice greeted with a smile.
"Alice, it's great to see you here, can we ask you a favor?" one of the women said.
"What's the deal?"
"In the sales area below, there is an 'Eighth Potion' on display. We know that you are an expert in this field and would like to ask you to identify the authenticity."
"I can't identify eighth-grade potions, but my grandfather can." Alice said, and introduced her grandfather to the two senior sisters.
After chatting, they went to the exhibition area where the medicines were sold, where many people were already there.
When we came here, we could clearly see the old man with the white beard widening his eyes and scanning the potions.
"This is……"
Not knowing what he had discovered, the old man quickly rushed to a counter.
There is a bottle of medicine placed on it, which is protected by a transparent glass cover. There is a small square sign next to it, which details the name and function of this bottle of medicine.
"The newly developed 'Sixth Grade Potion·Sublimation' can help magicians break through bottlenecks!"
The old man's eyes were fixed on the text introduction on the square card, and he could no longer move away.
The newly developed potion is attractive enough, not to mention that this is a "sixth grade potion", and its efficacy is what any magician will need.
"Grandpa! Is there something wrong with this potion?" Alice came over.
"Am I ignorant? Why have I never heard of this medicine?" The old man looked around, trying to find a shopping guide.
Because there are so many customers, the limited shopping guides are simply too busy, so they can only keep visiting various sections to answer questions raised by customers.
A shopping guide who could be seen was surrounded by a group of people. He was asking questions here and there, and I was afraid that he would not be able to get away in a short time.
"Sublimation? What a strange name. Can this potion really help a magician break through the bottleneck?" Alice seemed to be talking to herself.
For young magicians like them, potions that can help with breakthroughs have limited appeal. After all, they have a lot of room for improvement in the future, and they can still grow without taking potions.
But for old magicians who have been stuck at the bottleneck for many years, the meaning is different.
With the help of pharmaceuticals, it is possible for them to break through their shackles and reach new heights they dream of.
"If this potion is real, it will definitely sweep across the entire 'Eston Continent'." The old man's mood at this moment wanted to confirm the authenticity of this potion more than anyone else.
However, the potion was protected in a glass cover.
Perhaps because they knew there was not enough manpower here, a new group of shopping guides came in from outside.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Alice directly pulled one of them over.
This is the first time in my life that I have experienced snatching a shopping guide.
"Customers, do you need any help?" The shopping guide smiled gently, obviously having received special training.
"Is this potion in stock and can it be appraised?" Alice asked eagerly.
"The 'potions' displayed here are all in stock, but they can only be reserved for the time being."
"Why is this?" Alice asked hurriedly.
"In order to avoid affecting the upcoming 'Academy Ranking Competition', not only the potions here, but also the sales of noble phantoms are only available for reservation." The shopping guide replied with a smile.
"Is there a sales area for 'Noble Phantasms' here?" a senior student next to Alice asked in surprise.
"Yes! It's on the fifth floor, but it won't be open to the public until tonight. If you are interested, you can come over and have a look."
"What types of Noble Phantasms are they?" the senior who just asked asked again.
"There are all types, attack types, defense types, auxiliary types, etc. The distribution volume this time is very large. However, due to the special nature of the Noble Phantasms, some Noble Phantasms only have one piece. If it is reserved by other people, then
It will be removed from the shelves in advance, and when the balance is paid, the buyer can take away the treasure."
"When will the treasure sales area on the fifth floor open?"
"We also need to wait for notification about this. Our main store will post an announcement outside the hall in advance before opening. You can pay attention to it."
The senior who asked the question let out a sigh of relief. She had an extreme preference for treasures and would send two servants to keep a close eye on them later. She would definitely not miss it.
At this time, the old man with a white beard couldn't stand the topic being dragged away, so he quickly interrupted: "I want to know, can the 'potion' here be authenticated?"
"Of course!" The shopping guide smiled softly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, "The side of this counter has been engraved with the 'Identification Magic Array', making it easier for anyone to identify it."
The old man's attention was focused on the potion just now, and then he realized that there was also a mystery in the half-man-high counter.
This was the first time he encountered this design, so no wonder it was ignored.
He couldn't wait to inject magic into the "Identification Magic Array". With a buzzing sound, the array patterns inside the counter lit up, like interlaced blood vessels.
There are many magicians here, but not many people know how to identify potions. Now that they see someone here conducting an appraisal, they immediately surround them.
"It turns out to be a real 'sixth-grade potion'!"
After the appraisal, the old man could not hide the excitement on his face and hurriedly asked about the ordering method and price of this medicine.
The price of the medicine quoted by the shopping guide made the old man stunned again.
It's not that it's expensive, but it's much cheaper than what he expected.
It's only one-tenth the price of other "six-grade medicines". Is this kind of pricing really a joke?
For a customer, a low selling price is a good thing, but for a pharmacy family, this is not a good thing.
Under the impact of such low prices, can their family's medicines be sold again in the future?
What the old man didn't know was that the reason why this sixth-grade potion was so cheap was because the person who prepared it could achieve 100% successful preparation, and the herbs needed were grown in large quantities.
In terms of cost control, it is not comparable to other pharmacists.
"Is there a purchase quantity limit for this potion?"
Alice asked when the old man was surprised.
"Theoretically not. This medicine can be reconfigured according to the order quantity. The pharmacists behind us are very strong." When the shopping guide said this, he had a proud look on his face.
"May I ask who that distinguished pharmacist is?" The old man finally recovered from the shock.
"This question..." After a moment of hesitation, the shopping guide did not answer directly, but said, "I can only say that the two pharmacists are now the nominal tutors of the 'Holy Dragon Academy' and are responsible for teaching pharmacy courses. If
Some people are interested in pharmacists, why not apply to join the 'Holy Dragon Academy'."
What a good shopping guide. At this time, I didn’t forget to recruit students for the “Holy Dragon Academy”.
"Guys, there are higher-grade potions over there." The shopping guide promptly changed the subject.
At this time, the old man suddenly woke up.
What he just saw was only the sixth-grade potion, so what about the others?
When he saw another bottle of newly developed potion, especially a bottle of seventh-grade potion, the old man did not hesitate to identify it again.
The result remains the same, it’s true!
My God!
At this moment, the old man had the urge to kneel down and worship.
In addition, there is another idea that is growing unchecked: Alice must be allowed to enter the "Holy Dragon Academy"!
