Chapter 587: Notification and Hoarding

At the thought of having money to earn, everyone geared up and gave it their all.

As for what this topic was about before, everyone had basically completely forgotten.

Or rather, they just didn't memorize things they weren't interested in.

While everyone started preparing for the great war that might arrive next, Lan Qingyou naturally wouldn't be idle either.

After the chat ended, Lan Qingyou immediately contacted Margaret, the Imagination Witch in charge of the industrial zone.

Tower Witch: "@Imagination Witch, how many herbs are left in the warehouse right now."

Imagination Witch: "About enough to make five million basic potions."

The so-called basic potions usually referred to Mana Potions, Life Potions, antidotes, attribute potions, and the like.

Things like magic potions and attack-type potions wouldn't be counted.

After all, they were consumables, unlike Golems where buying one could be used for many years.

So just by relying on these potions, the Witch Race could be said to be raking in gold every day, fundamentally not worrying about being unable to sell them.

Furthermore, these mass-produced goods from the industrial zone weren't even the most sought-after on the continent.

The truly sought-after ones were the potions made by those witches using their free time.

After all, there was still some quality difference between pure hand-made and mass-produced by Golems.

Tower Witch: "Too little. Find those merchants to continue hoarding goods, get some more, especially materials for Life Potions."

Imagination Witch: "Is there some important matter?"

The amount for five million basic potions wasn't a small number.

But even so, her Clan Leader actually still wanted her to continue hoarding goods, then something must have definitely happened.

Tower Witch: "You'll know when you look at the world channel this evening."

Because she felt explaining it was troublesome, Lan Qingyou fundamentally didn't think about explaining anything.

And after receiving the order, Margaret began to proceed with hoarding goods.

Of course, when it came to this kind of matter, the Golden Witch Beatrice was definitely more proficient than herself.

Moreover, things like entering and leaving the warehouse were handled by the other party, and the contact information of the merchants was also held by the other party.

So the first moment she received the task, she went looking for Beatrice.

It was just that unlike Lan Qingyou who contacted via card, she personally made a trip to the newly re-established commercial district.

Although there were no outsiders in this place right now.

But in the entire Eureka City, this was the only place where one could go shopping, so whether it was popularity or the number of shops, it was one of the best in the entire city.

Many witches would come here to shop, buy things, and get some fresh air during their breaks from research.

"Why did you think of coming to my place today? Is there something you want to buy?"

Beatrice sat at the small round table of a beverage shop on the street side, basking in the sun, looking at Margaret standing beside her.

Compared to the other party blocking her sunlight, she was currently more curious about why this guy would come here.

After all, the other party was the Imagination Witch.

A woman who could survive solely on imagination and creativity.

As long as she wanted, she could copy any product at any time; she fundamentally didn't need to go shopping or anything.

That's why Beatrice was so curious.

"The Clan Leader just sent a message, asking us to purchase as many herbs as possible, acquiring however much there is."

Ignoring Beatrice's strangely sarcastic mocking, Margaret pulled out the chair across the small round table and sat down, picked up the beverage menu, and started ordering.

Purchase however much there is?

Why did these words sound so strange?

Although they were indeed all Alchemists, and materials were certainly the more the better.

But it hadn't reached the point of purchasing however much there was, right.

Could it be...

"There's some major event about to happen ah."

Beatrice picked up her teacup and muttered.

"Sure enough, you also feel this way, right."

"What, you too?"

Beatrice raised an eyebrow and looked at Margaret across from her.

She saw Margaret spreading her hands and shrugging.

"Yeah, but I asked the Clan Leader, and the Clan Leader said I'd know just by watching the world channel this evening."

"Keeping people in suspense, ah, it truly is like the Clan Leader's style."

Hearing Lan Qingyou's answer, Beatrice couldn't help but shake her head with a laugh.

"But since the Clan Leader said so, then let's quickly purchase materials. There isn't much time left until evening."

"While that news, which even we don't know what it is, hasn't come out yet, let's hoard a bit more, otherwise the prices will probably go up."

Since they were going to purchase materials, naturally the earlier the better.

Under circumstances like this where the news would be revealed in a few hours, time was somewhat tight.

So after thinking it through clearly, Beatrice didn't even drink her tea anymore.

Directly putting down the teacup, she reached out and pulled Margaret, walking towards the direction of the office.

"Ouch, what are you doing, the tea and snacks I ordered haven't been served yet."

The pulled Margaret looked at Beatrice, who was pulling her, with a bewildered face.

"No need to serve them. Time is tight right now, we need to start immediately."

Beatrice didn't turn her head, but continued to walk forward.

But right at this moment, Margaret threw off the other party's hand.

"No, I'm just here to pass on a message. Of course you're the one going to purchase things. I still have to go back to the factory area later to check the potion-brewing equipment, and maintain the industrial Golems while I'm at it."

"..."

Looking at Margaret speaking righteously and confidently, Beatrice's small mouth opened slightly.

Meaning to say, you're counting on me to finish this kind of matter alone?

Or rather, counting on the people in the commerce department to finish it?

Okay, although these matters were indeed things their commerce department should interface with, but at least you should make a list of the required things, right?

The corners of Beatrice's mouth twitched for a bit, and then she stared dead at Margaret who was preparing to return.

"What's wrong?"

Regarding Beatrice's look, Margaret felt very strange, so she asked a question.

"Shopping list."

"..."

Oh right, she still hadn't given this thing to her yet.

Although the herbs currently used in the industrial zone were basically fixed, and they were all purchased by Beatrice's side.

But after all, the production materials were the same, but the things that needed to be produced were different.

Just like this time.

Lan Qingyou explicitly stated that what was needed were basic potions, so what needed to be bought were naturally those herbs required for basic potions.

So even Beatrice wouldn't act based on some empiricism.

...

After getting the shopping list, Beatrice quickly returned to her Shelter office.

Then she started contacting those big merchants she had on hand.

It was just that Beatrice didn't look for Shang Chuan.

After all, since it was what the Clan Leader said, then as the 'official cooperative partner' of the Witch Race, the other party either had already been greeted by the Clan Leader, or even if greeted, it would be useless.
