Chapter 127 Perfect Energy Potion
Selvih\'s face was filled with hatred, as she said: "Kicking him will only dirty my feet."
In the stands, Pharmacodi was also quietly observing the competition, no, to be more precise, he wanted to see how Duraxi would use the Fire Lotus.
Hikaru glanced at the stands, and looked towards Pharmacodi\'s location, then quietly asked Rika: "Rika, if I use my skill to see Pharmacodi\'s stats, will he be able to detect it?"
[No, Master Your skill has reached the Legendary level, so apart from Duraxi, you can see everyone\'s information and they won\'t be able to detect it.]
Hikaru nodded, then chose to view Pharmacodi\'s information, right after that, a bulletin board appeared in front of him.
…
Name: Pharmacodi
Class: SR - Magician; UR Pharmacist Enchanter
Level: 72
Agility: 15,000
Strength: 500,000
Intelligence: 2,200,000
…
Hikaru saw Pharmacodi\'s stats and breathed a sigh of relief. Although his stats were very high, they couldn\'t be compared with the current Hikaru\'s.
Each of Hikaru\'s stats had now reached 3,000,000, and it now completely overwhelmed Pharmacodi.
Pharmacodi\'s stats were a bit similar to Selvih\'s, as they both leaned towards Intelligence. He thought that perhaps Pharmacodi was a Pharmacist Enchanter, who used magic to make medicinal herbs and In addition to the fact that Pharmacodi was a magician, all his stats were added to Intelligence.
"Attention candidates." Pharmaradius\' voice rang out, interrupting Hikaru\'s thoughts: "In the first round you are to make energy potions. Energy pills are the most basic medicines, and they are the easiest to prepare, also they are very essential."
"I don\'t care what method you guys use, or who can make the energy potion in the shortest time, but the quality of the potion must be normal or higher to be able to pass the first round."
"You only have 30 minutes maximum. Round 1, begin."
As soon as Pharmaradius\'s words ended, the circle under Hikaru\'s feet immediately emitted light and immediately after, a curtain of light wrapped around him, forming a small room.
In front of Hikaru appeared a small table, on which lay 5 herbs and a piece of paper. That sheet of paper was the recipe for the energy potion.
The recipe was very sketchy, and it just talked about the 5 herbs in front of you as the preparation method was not mentioned.
However, this was enough for Hikaru to know how to create the energy potions. He suddenly thought that if he used this remedy and sold the pills to other players, he would gain a huge amount of resources.
The current Hikaru was like a merchant who only thought about how to plunder the assets of the poor players.
Anyway, the materials to make the energy potions were extremely cheap, and it was less than 2 soul points, but an energy pill costs as high as 20 soul points.
Hikaru used the Sacrifice skill and sacrificed the five herbs in front of him. Just then, a bulletin board appeared in front of him.
[Ding! You have successfully sacrificed 5 herbs. You have received a perfect energy potion.]
In front of Hikaru a pill that was similar to a marble appeared, it was the size of a thumb, and it was floating in the air. An information panel then appeared next to it.
…
Name: Energy Potion
Type: Perfect
Description: A Perfect energy potion is 20 times more effective than a normal energy potion. Besides, it also has the ability to help people recover mana.
…
Hikaru found the description a bit confusing. At this moment, Rika\'s voice rang out, explaining to him: [Master, a normal energy potion costs 20 soul points, however, it only provides a little mana, its main effect is still to provide energy. So a normal energy potion helps people to survive like the way food does.]
[However, a perfect energy potion is different, it not only has the function of replacing food, but it also helps people recover mana and heal minor injuries. Although it\'s not comparable to a Mana Potion, its effects are also immense, and the price is also lower than that of a Mana Potion.]
Hikaru asked, "How much does it cost?"
[The perfect energy potion has never appeared, so no one has set a price for it yet. However, if I\'m not wrong, it\'s worth at least 150 soul points. Compared to the Mana Potion that costs 300 soul points, the perfect energy potion is still the best choice.]
Hikaru nodded, as he only needed to spend 2 soul points to buy the ingredients, but the final product was worth up to 150 soul points. As he thought of this, he felt that he knew why Enchanters were so rich.
"Are the ingredients for making energy potions hard to find?"
[It\'s not that difficult to find, on the contrary, the ingredients for making energy potions are easy to find, as they are like weeds on Earth. Of course, it\'s easy to find, but it\'s very difficult to make herbs into energy pills. That\'s why the ingredients for making energy potions are cheap but the value of the energy potions is very high.]
While Hikaru was thinking, Pharmaradius\'s voice rang out from outside: "Contestant 422 has been eliminated."
"Competitors 102, 106, 199 have been eliminated."
"Competitors 255, 745, 611 have been eliminated."
…
It was constantly being announced that a contestant had been eliminated. Hikaru shook his head, as although it was only round 1, and the topic was not too difficult, the judges had only provided enough medicinal herbs for one preparation.
After all, Pharmacist Enchanters were only human, and they were not machines. Besides, the participants were just apprentice Enchanters, so it was normal for them to make mistakes in the preparation process.
However, the judges only provided enough herbs for one recipe, and if they failed, they would be eliminated immediately, without a second chance.
Thanks to Hikaru\'s Sacrifice skill, not only did he have absolute accuracy, but he also created a perfect energy potion, which no one had been able to create.
Hikaru saw that there was still 25 minutes left, so he was in no hurry. So, he used the CopyCat skill to create a copy of Pharmacodi.
[Ding! To create a copy of Pharmacodi, you need to pay 1.5 billion soul points.]
Hikaru frowned, then he asked Rika: "How many resource bags did we buy?"
[Master, currently you have successfully purchased 300 small resource bags, 120 medium-sized resource bags, and 5 large resource bags. The number of soul points paid to purchase them is less than 100,000.]
Hikaru frowned, "How many players survived?"
[Less than 700 million.]
"Strange, compared to the number of surviving players, the number of bags of soul points we have collected is too small."
[There\'s nothing weird about it, Master. The players didn\'t think that an NPC would appear to buy the resource bags, so they had used up their resource bags. Perhaps in the future, the number of resource bags they will sell to you will increase.]
Hikaru was relieved to hear this, so he said: "Take all the small resource bags and evolve them into giant resource bags."
[Ding! To evolve 300 small resource bags into giant resource bags you need to pay 16,650,000 soul points]
[Ding! To evolve 120 medium-sized soul points bags to giant resource bags you need to pay 16,500,000 soul points.]
[Ding! To evolve 5 large resource bags into giant bags of soul points requires paying 15,000,000 soul points.]
[Ding! You need to pay a total of 48,150,000 soul points]
Hikaru knew that to evolve a small bag of soul points would require 500 soul points and evolving a medium-range soulpoint bag into a large-scale soulpoint bag would require 5,000 soul points.
While evolving a large bag of soul points to a giant bag of soul points requires 50,000 soul points.
"Agree!"
[Ding! Successful evolution. You have received 425 giant soulpoint bags.]
Hikaru saw 425 bags of soul points in his storage space and smiled. However, this was not the end as each bag of soul points would only give you 200,000 soul points, and 425 bags would give 87,000,000 soul points.
However, he had the 12-face Dice, which could increase all the soul points by 100 times.
"Rika, help me open my resource bags with the 12-face Dice."
[Yes, Master.]
Hikaru then played with the dice in his hand, then rolled it following Rika\'s instructions
[Ding! You have successfully used the 12-face Dice, and all the soul points in the huge resource bag have been multiplied by 100.]
[Ding! You have received 8.7 billion soul points.]
Hikaru was happy, he felt like a millionaire again. However, when thinking about the future, he realized that 8.7 billion soul points was a small number, and he felt quite sad because just upgrading the NPC Roleplay function alone cost 100 billion. However, Hikaru felt that 8.7 billion soul points could still help him solve many problems.
At least, compared to the mid-range kingdoms, 8.7 billion soul points was equal to their 8 years of tax collection.
"Make a copy of Pharmacodi."
[Ding! You need to pay 1.5 billion soul points.]
"Agreed!"
Right after that, Hikaru\'s consciousness entered the Simulation Space. Five seconds later, Hikaru woke up with a smile on his face. "Pharmacodi is nothing special, he is very weak," he said to himself.
[Perhaps this is because he is only interested in improving his ability to make medicinal herbs, that is why his combat ability is low.]
[Besides, perhaps Pharmacodi does not fight to level up but maybe he relies on his medicinal herbs to help force him to level up.]
Hikaru heard Rika\'s explanation and nodded in agreement. After all, Pharmacodi was a UR Pharmacist Enchanter, so using drugs to level up was normal.
[Master, are you going to…]
"Um… But I\'m not in a hurry, I am waiting for an opportunity." Hikaru thought. He was not a fool, he would not wait for Pharmacodi and Duraxi to take revenge on him, before he attacked. Rather, he would destroy them first.
He was very afraid of death, so he wanted to destroy all danger before it appeared.
Elsewhere, Duraxi was using his Fire Lotus, and following Guhi\'s instructions, to successfully prepare a pill.
Guhi looked at the pill in Duraxi\'s hand and said, "It\'s an advanced energy potion."
"An advanced energy potion?" Duraxi asked, confused.
"Yes. Advanced energy potions are more effective than normal energy potions. A premium energy pill has 5 times the effect of a normal energy potion, and the price can reach 50 soul points per pill." Guhi explained.
Duraxi was happy to hear this and he exclaimed: "Hahaha… I am a genius, the first time I tried creating a pill, I created a high-class medicine. Hikaru, you just wait, the humiliation from before will be returned to you tenfold."
Guhi sighed upon hearing Duraxi\'s arrogance.
Duraxi possessed a Fire Lotus, plus with the guidance of a UR+ Pharmacist Enchanter like Guhi, making high-class pharmaceuticals was extremely easy.
