Chapter 153: Vitality Potion

"Wiz, I've made the potion. As long as you drink it, you'll gain the life energy inside the potion."

"Wonderful. Once this product hits the shelves, it'll definitely be popular with adventurers."

Hearing this, Wiz walked forward happily, took the green potion from the boy's hand, opened it, and drank the potion directly to test its effect.

"An ordinary adventurer drinking this would probably recover about half their physical strength and energy. Hmm, Broly, how much life force does it cost you to produce one dose of this potion?"

Wiz asked this after testing the potion's effect.

"Don't know."

But Broly wasn't clear on this question either. He inherently had an excess of Qi; even though the conversion rate of Qi into stored life energy was very high, for him personally, the Qi expended to produce a single bottle of this potion was still a drop in the bucket — perhaps just one or two breaths to recover.

"Then how many bottles of this potion can you make in a day?"

Wiz could only change her line of questioning.

"Don't know either, but I should be able to make a whole lot."

Broly rubbed his belly.

"Just if I make too many, my belly might get hungry."

"Belly hungry, eat and it's solved. Rotten Lich, how many Eris do you think my disciple's potion here can sell for?"

Aqua asked from the side. If her own disciple weren't insisting on being some kind of apothecary making potions here, Aqua wouldn't have come over to this side at all.

"A Magic Power Recovery Potion sells for around twenty thousand Eris. As for a Comprehensive Recovery Potion like this that restores energy and physical strength, the market price should fetch fifty thousand Eris.

However, this price is a bit high for ordinary adventurers; using two or three bottles would exceed the reward of many commissions.

So, I only plan to sell it at twice the price of a Magic Power Potion, but since I need to make some money too, the purchase price……"

"Thirty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine Eris it is. That way you earn exactly one Eris."

Aqua immediately interjected.

"Ah, this……"

In this world, buying a bit of meat costs nearly a hundred Eris. A price of one Eris probably wouldn't even cover the labor cost of the seller.

"Aqua Master, I made this potion to help Wiz's Magic Tool Shop turn a profit."

Broly had to remind his Goddess Master. He had asked Wiz what would make her feel happy, and the Lich lady's answer at the time was that if she could make her Magic Tool Shop profitable, she would probably feel happy.

This sounded like a simple, easily completed task, but actually doing it was very difficult. Because the Lich lady wouldn't accept Broly buying items the shop didn't inherently need out of goodwill; she considered that pity. Even if Broly bought them, she herself wouldn't feel happy, let alone feel happiness.

After the plan to become a big spender via Krypton Gold and exchange for the Lich lady's Happiness Value collapsed, Broly could only consider other methods to raise the other party's Happiness Value. That was to save this poorly managed Magic Tool Shop at its root.

However, Broly didn't know how to do business, so he consulted people who did. The Adventurer's Guild's Quest Board girl was one of those consulted. From Luna, Broly obtained the reason for Bathing Master Viz's poor management.

"Miss Wiz often purchases some strange tools and sells them in her own shop. But those tools can't be called useless; it's just that most of their functions are things ordinary adventurers would never use.

However, the potions in Miss Wiz's shop are highly praised. Not only is the quality good, but the price is also cheap. I'll tell you secretly: the reason Miss Wiz's shop hasn't gone under is because the potion business is supporting it.

If you want to help Miss Wiz's Magic Tool Shop turn a profit, I think you can try thinking of something from the potion angle……"

This was the Quest Board girl's advice.

"Eh? I can't buy these tools back anymore? I still feel they're very useful. For example, this Mosquito Repellent Item engraved with Lightning Magic can effectively avoid adventurers camping in the wild being disturbed by mosquitoes at night……"

The premise is that this thing's failure rate can be solved, and it won't shock the adventurers also within the mosquito-repelling range.

According to what Broly learned, this tool was returned and given bad reviews precisely because it shocked people.

However, looking at the Lich lady's pitiful appearance, Broly didn't forcefully deprive her of the right to purchase useless tools. Just like he spoiled Aqua Master, he similarly spoiled this Lich lady.

But based on the Quest Board girl's advice, when Broly proposed developing the Magic Tool Shop's potion business to Wiz, the result he got was that Axel's adventurer industry wasn't large, and the market demand for various potions was already trending toward saturation.

Unless a new type of popular potion could be researched……

"If a potion that restores a warrior's energy and physical strength appeared, it should be very popular, right!"

Wiz thought of Broly's Life Energy Bullet and just mentioned it casually.

"That's it, exactly this. Can my Qi be turned into a potion?"

It was this one sentence that made Broly start the side job of apothecary and begin the work of researching a new potion.

This process took one week. Aqua's Water Creation Magic with its inherent purification effect gave Broly the inspiration to research this new potion. Combining Water Creation and Life Drain magic, using his own Qi manipulation as a linking medium, after experiencing many failures, Broly today finally succeeded in making the water summoned by his Water Creation Magic carry his own Breath.

The principle is the same as Aqua summoning water carrying a purification effect. It's just that the water Broly summons carries intense life energy converted from his Qi.

Now, in the Skill column on Broly's Adventurer Card, a Skill for Mystery Potion Crafting has already appeared.

As for the method of storing life energy, it was provided by Wiz, completed by engraving a Magic Circle that restrains life energy onto the bottle. It's said to be the same principle as producing certain evil tools that absorb life energy.

"Can't let this Lich get all the cheap benefits!"

Aqua's attitude toward Wiz still wasn't great, but this might be due to some jealousy.

Before this, Broly was only good to her alone. Darkness lacked competitiveness because of her special kink. Until the detestable Lich appeared, Aqua felt her status had suffered a severe challenge.

After all, she is the Master, but Wiz has now also gained the identity of a Potion Studies Teacher.

"Then let's split it by cost. This time I could produce this potion, Aqua Master put in the most effort and provided crucial inspiration, so Aqua Master, you take half."

"Eh?"

"Teacher Wiz also provided the long-term storage method for life energy, so she also takes half. Not counting the purchase price, we'll split the profit from the potion sales half and half."

"Eh?"

The first "Eh" was from Aqua, the second "Eh" was from Wiz. After hearing the split, both asked simultaneously: "Then what about you?"

"Me?"

Broly scratched his head. Money in this world was like floating clouds to him; Happiness Value was the most important thing.

"You just have to make sure I eat my fill. Anyway, my cost for making potions is just some Qi. I'll recover quickly after eating my fill."

Naturally, Broly's proposal wasn't agreed to, but given his overly generous attitude, Aqua's mood eased up.

In the end, Broly takes half the profit. Aqua provided the potion's technical inspiration. Wiz provided the life energy storage method and bottle production costs. In the end, the two of them each take 2.5 tenths of the profit.

"Right, this potion needs a name to be sold. What should we call it?"

Aqua asked.

"How about calling it Broly Potion?"

The Lich said this naming method was very straightforward.

"With a name like that, who knows what the potion does?

With your naming sense, no wonder your shop has no business.

Hmm, Broly, what do you think?"

"How about Saiyan Potion?"

Broly asked carefully, his naming sense was half a catty, eight taels with Wiz.

"Saiyan, after drinking the potion, physical ability and energy both exceed demi-humans, that's not bad!"

Aqua praised.

Broly: "..."

He didn't mean it that way.

"But I feel this kind of potion should have an even more straightforward name."

"Then what does Master think is a good name?"

"Since it's a comprehensive potion that recovers physical strength and energy, why not just call it Vitality Potion, one bottle down, vitality radiating!"

Broly and Wiz made eye contact, neither had any objections.

After the three people finished signing the contract in the shop, the perceptive Darkness finally inserted herself into the conversation.

"Now, can you tell me how I can feel fulfilled and go home to sleep?"
