Chapter 629: There Is Poison in the Liquor!
Moon: "A simpler reason?"
Lan Qingyou's words gave people a very unexpected feeling.
A simple reason?
Shang Chuan felt that his reason was already simple enough. Was there anything simpler than 'that'?
Tower: "Do you still not understand? It is to sell to as many people as possible."
Hmm!!!
Upon seeing this sentence, Shang Chuan was instantly stunned.
That's right, he might have overthought it. The other party might really just be trying to sell to more people.
But if that was the case, what was it for?
Lan Qingyou's guess was very interesting, but it couldn't explain 'why'.
If they wanted to sell these liquors to as many people as possible, wouldn't it be more appropriate to sell them at a reduced price or simply give them away as free gifts with purchases?
After all, for free things, especially essential goods like liquor, there would definitely be many people wanting to freeload.
He couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't figure out Lan Qingyou's guess, nor could he figure out the layout of the people behind the black market merchant.
Forget it.
Samael scratched his head and then stood up.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it for the time being. It was better to take a shower and rest.
Although living in this vulgar space made up of various items was somewhat uncomfortable, he had no other choice for now.
As for why he didn't just Teleport away, it was because he still needed to collect data information.
After all, they had sold so many engraving machines and engraving potions this time. If he didn't stay to properly collect more data, how could they improve them after returning?
That's right.
After selling the first-generation engraving machines, Chariot and the others were not satisfied, but wanted to continue advancing on the path of research.
This... was probably the mindset of researchers.
However, just as Samael was preparing to take off his clothes to take a shower and sleep!
An unexpected guy appeared in the group.
Justice: "Fuck! There is poison in this liquor!"
Samael: "?"
Star: "What's the situation?"
Lover: "Poison in the liquor? Are they trying to poison those buyers to death, which is why they're selling it off like this?"
Tower: "Is it poisonous? I have a witch here who has a good understanding of poisons. Should I let her analyze it?"
Seeing Riesling say there was poison in the liquor, everyone's first reaction was that there was poison in those liquors named Heaven's Fall that Samael had just bought for him.
Thus, one by one, they immediately jumped out to give him advice.
As for whether the other party would be poisoned because of this, everyone was not very worried.
After all, he was a fruit farmer. Things like being poisoned couldn't be more normal.
Anyway, if he wasn't poisoned by the new fruits he developed himself, he would be poisoned by 'necessary monsters' like those butterflies and bees.
So his poison resistance was very high.
To the extent that it was considered high even in the entire Tarot Manor.
Therefore, rather than saying everyone was concerned about him, it was more accurate to say they were more interested in the poison in the liquor.
A poison that could make a guy with such high poison resistance cry out 'There is poison in the liquor' must definitely be some undiscovered new type.
And it was the kind with very strong toxins too.
However, seeing that everyone seemed to have misunderstood his meaning, Riesling immediately sent a message.
Justice: "No, you guys didn't understand what I meant."
Sun: "Then what's wrong?"
Justice: "The poison I'm talking about is not the kind of poison you imagine."
High Priestess: "So, isn't poison just poison?"
Justice: "I... Awakening Potion, it's an Awakening Potion! Do you understand when I say it like this?"
Seeing that everyone didn't understand, Justice simply changed the word.
And the people who were looking at the cards and following this topic instantly understood what the 'poison' he was talking about was after seeing the word 'Awakening Potion'.
The so-called Awakening Potion was a potion that could let people enjoy a brief but intense sense of happiness.
This was a very common illegal drug on Blue Star.
Compared to those old-fashioned 'poisons' that would damage the human central nervous system and body systems, this kind of potion didn't have concerns in that regard.
But this didn't mean this potion was safe.
On the contrary, because this potion had strong dependency, it could destroy a person's will in an extremely short time.
Making them slaves to this 'sense of happiness'.
It was precisely because of this characteristic that it was classified as an illegal drug by the Blue Star Federation.
Moon: "That's it! It's this feeling!"
Moon: "I was wondering why the selling method of those liquor merchants that Hermit mentioned just now was so familiar. So the problem is here!"
After knowing what that thing was, Shang Chuan finally came to his senses.
After the initial purchase, relying on the liquor bottle to find the seller, wasn't this exactly the tactic those dealers loved to play?
After all, back on Blue Star, selling this stuff could result in execution on the street after being caught red-handed.
So those guys invented this way of playing.
He didn't expect them to actually bring it to the Karim Continent.
Moreover, because of the existence of magic here, the ways these guys played should have increased, right?
Pope: "Spending years to develop a liquor like Heaven's Fall, they really worked hard."
Old man Nemo said in a mocking tone.
High Priestess: "There's no other way. Who told the profit of this kind of thing to be so huge?"
Lover: "As long as the profit is sufficient, what does it matter even if they risk being hanged? After all, they really earned the money. One Gold Coin per bottle, and they can even give you a twenty percent discount. Let me ask if you are convinced."
Moon: "Convinced, why wouldn't I be? If it's that stuff, then as long as it's mass-produced, the cost is almost negligible. Excluding labor, they can earn at least 98 Silver Coins out of one Gold Coin."
Moon: "Of course, I'm talking about the production method of Blue Star."
Because he roughly knew what the raw materials and production process of that potion were, Shang Chuan was very clear about how large the profit margin was in this area.
Of course, even if he knew, Shang Chuan disdained making this kind of thing. After all, what he liked was the feeling of making money, not the money itself.
Furthermore, for him, making money was happiness.
Only those who were unhappy would want to seek that kind of illusory and brief thing.
Hermit: "Those words are fair, but compared to this, I'm actually more curious about how Justice discovered it."
Because something like an Awakening Potion could be said to be an open secret.
So as long as one was slightly tainted by it, they should generally be clear about it. But how come out of so many people who bought it, not a single one noticed?
This was somewhat amiss.
Justice: "To be honest, discovering it was really an accident."
Hermit: "An accident?"
Justice: "Yes, originally I planned to just take a sip first, but I accidentally spilled it into my own fruit wine. As a result, the mana of the fruit wine suddenly showed a reaction of mana clashing, and so I discovered it."
Chariot: "Wait, you're a grown adult. How did you manage to spill a liquor worth one Gold Coin?"
