Chapter 11: Effect
Chapter 11: Effect
There were many parks around, but most of them were crowded so he had a hard time finding a place to sit.
After some searching and not finding a comfortable place, he finally came to a drinking establishment that was similar to a cafe on earth, having three floors.
Each floor had different drink prices and he chose the highest floor, ordering a cup of coffee and a cookie.
It cost 150 coins, which made his frugal soul want to cry.
However, the third floor was really cozy.
He could see the whole city from every side since it had no roof.
Sitting on his chair, he immediately felt relaxed.
As he sat down, his order was ready, placed in front of his table.
Of course, he didn\'t focus on his order.
He picked up the cookie scoop, pouring in the honey from his Storage Artifact.
The fragrant aroma quickly filled the air, but fortunately the amount of honey was small, so the aroma only spread around him.
Overly impressed, Aldric even prayed before bringing the spoon to his mouth.
He had forgotten that he was playing a game right now.
"Mm..."
His eyes trembled slightly when the spoon finally entered his mouth.
\'Unique, not so sweet, ta-but, I feel like my whole body is tasting the sweetness.\'
For him it really wasn\'t about the taste, it was about the sensation.
His tongue had only licked a drop of the honey but the sensation spread throughout his body, as if his entire body was a tongue.
The initial high curiosity coupled with the subsequent curiosity after tasting a little made him lick the spoon\'s honey right away.
As he drank more, the feeling he felt was more than just a sensation.
For a moment, he could feel his body becoming a little stronger all of a sudden.
DING!
(You have just consumed Honey of Life which has the effect of increasing strength or healing wounds for all Magician. The effect is the same no matter how strong the Magician is. If they are stronger, they just need to consume more honey!)
Suddenly there was a notification from the System.
This made Aldric who wanted to send drink the honey again dumbfounded.
It turned out that it not only had a unique flavor and gave a sensation, but also had special effects, increasing strength and healing wounds.
With those two effects, the honey naturally had a very different value.
He couldn\'t determine what the proper value was.
\'Things like this should only be sold with Monster Cores,\' he thought.
Some items could not be bought with coins because their value was considered incomparable to money. Hence, people ended up only selling such items by bartering or with Monster Cores whose value was considered very real.
\'However, how am I going to sell this honey?\'
Aldric wondered as he smeared the honey onto the cake, eating along with the cake which only became more delicious so sometimes he felt a bit heavy about selling the honey.
\'But it shouldn\'t be something new, after all, there can\'t be just one thing that exudes the aura of life.\'
Aldric had not been able to determine the price of the honey yet, so he planned to seek information to find out the market price after eating and drinking at this cafe.
Since he liked the honey more, he basically just kept drinking it. For example, when he ate the cake with the honey, the amount of honey was greater than the cake.
With his voracious appetite, he finished in no time.
After that he left the restaurant.
The next one he visited was a honey shop, it was a big shop with a very luxurious building where the floor looked shiny.
Honey was without a doubt a premium product, perhaps even more valuable in this world as there was no concept of honey cultivation.
Inside the shop, Aldric saw various types of honey. Everything was in shiny bottles, and there were even bottles made of transparent silver and gold.
Everything that came looked elite. If they did not have a luxurious appearance, then they exerted an invisible pressure, showing that they were strong.
Aldric scanned honey after honey.
Unfortunately, he found no Honey of Life.
For him who was already familiar, it was not difficult to detect if there was Honey of Life.
Although there were some honeys that seemed to have an aura, they did not make as deep an impression as the Honey of Life.
"Sir, is there any honey you\'re looking for?" Just as he stood for a moment, he a shop assistant came over to him, asking kindly.
Perhaps because of his alluring appearance, she thought he was the son of a certain noble.
"Do you sell Honey of Life?" asked Aldric in response, immediately revealing what he was looking for even though he wasn\'t going to buy what he was looking for.
"Honey of Life, would you like to buy Honey of Life?" The shop assistant looked surprised at his question.
At the same time, her words indicated that she knew about Honey of Life.
"Yes, how much per liter?" Aldric asked again with a faint smile.
In the assistant\'s eyes, he was completely serious because his innocent expression made people not know that he had different thoughts.
"We do sell Honey of Life. However, it\'s a rare and special product, so we only sell it to our regular customers who have been shopping at our store for a long time. Sorry sir, you might not be able to get it," the assistant replied, making an apologetic gesture.
That it was sold in such a manner only amazed Aldric more.
Just as he was about to say something, the shop assistant suddenly added, "we can actually sell the Honey of Life to new customers, but we raised the price to three times the normal price."
