Chapter 955: For Sale

Within the reactor furnace, numerous materials were purifying and fusing at high temperatures.
“Hundred Spiritual Will Control! Go!”
Fang Yuan’s hundred spiritual will fluttered out, drifting into the reactor furnace. It accurately grasped the nature of the drug and inputted spiritual power precisely. Not a single bit was out of place.
If Han Yunfeng could see this unfold, his eyes would have fallen out.
Unfortunately, he was feeling inspired after refining the mid-tier brain development drug using ancient techniques, so he had shut himself in to write his paper.
Fang Yuan speculated that Han Yunfeng wanted to obtain fame. When that time came, he would propose a plan to East Dragon University to use ancient refining techniques for the high-tier brain development drug!
With a few words, he would start by setting the goal high. Then, in the name of science, he would obtain the funds from East Dragon University before deciding his next move.
With a grand plan like that, Han Yunfeng did not have the time to monitor Fang Yuan at all. Naturally, Fang Yuan would make good use of his resources.
“It’s done!”
At the mouth of the furnace, a ball of red liquid flew out. Fang Yuan caught it with a test tube he had prepared beforehand. Everything flowed smoothly, familiar and natural.
Fang Yuan was expressionless as he picked up the test tube carefully and stored it inside his backpack.
Within his bag, a flash of red sparkled. There were more than ten low-tier brain development drugs and a bunch of other drugs.
“I exchanged all those credits into these, but the low-tier brain development drug has an untapped market, so it shouldn’t be an issue to sell them!”
He looked at the stats window. The original Alchemy (Elementary) had turned into Alchemy (Intermediate)!
“This type of low-level skill is great. Once I use proficiency, I can increase the skill level. On the other hand, higher-level skills have bottlenecks that leave the progress at 99.9%…”
Fang Yuan returned to his dorm. He put up a post on the goods exchange market. “I have some low-tier brain development drugs for sale at a bargain. I’ll sell them at 90 credits each. First come, first serve!”
Numerous replies immediately appeared.
“God! You’re taking over the board!”
“Damn! The guy above me is dumb! OP, do you really have the goods?”
“Name a location. I’ll take them all!”
…
Replies flooded the post.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan was a little shocked. Soon after, he facepalmed. “That’s right! Even though each set of materials costs fifty credits, other pharmacists aren’t like me. The success rate of the scientific alchemy method is very high, but the low-tier brain development drug is almost at the difficulty of making ancient mid-tier pills. Originally, I thought that they failed once every five tries. However, it seems like they fail once every two to three tries. This is why East Dragon University’s low-tier brain development drug is charged at cost price!”
On the other hand, his drugs had a near one hundred percent success rate. The cost of creating one was fifty credits. Even if he sold it at ninety credits, he would still make a good profit.
“Science and technology are top in productivity… Of course, in my case, my Demon God True Spirit tops my productivity!”
With this understanding, Fang Yuan continued to fish for more customers. Soon after, he spotted a reply. “I’m in urgent need of the drugs. If you’re interested, please contact Beatrice at this number!”
“Beatrice, huh? Interesting!”
Fang Yuan laughed. He put up an anonymous post, but this Beatrice had exposed her personal information. It seemed like she was very sincere.
As he thought about this, he used his wristband to send a message. “Hello!”
“Are you the seller? I really need the low-tier brain development drugs! How many do you have?”
A soft, sweet voice arrived at his ears. It carried a hint of desperation.
“I have ten. If you want them, we can make the trade in the safe zone’s Southern Garden!” Fang Yuan replied.
“That’s wonderful. Hold on. I’ll be there immediately!” the female voice replied emotionally.
“Perfect. I can clear my stock at once!”
Fang Yuan picked up his bag and went to the safe zone’s garden.
The safe zone was swarming with new students from East Dragon University. However, they were all busy.
Other than attending class, they had to think of all sorts of methods to increase their brain development so that they could create a better foundation for their future.
For people like Fang Yuan who had already broken through, they were even busier.
They had to run errands for their credits all day. There were barely any lovebirds that had the time to flirt and date.
A voice from the wristband appeared. “Hi, fellow student! I’ve arrived at the gate!”
Fang Yuan looked in that direction and spotted two girls standing there. One of them had curly green hair and was looking around frantically. The girl by her side looked a little familiar.
“Why is she here?”
Fang Yuan frowned and walked forward. He looked at the curly green-haired woman. “Are you Beatrice? I’m the seller. Also, hello, Senior Sun Mengmeng!”
Sun Mengmeng was surfing the web leisurely. Hearing his greeting, she looked up. Her eyes immediately widened. “It’s you! Junior Lin Meng! Are you the seller? How is this possible?”
Her impression of this junior remained on that day when Lü Songyang called him trash.
However, she did not expect this ordinary junior of hers to be able to produce ten valuable low-tier brain development drugs at such a low price.
“Haha, maybe it’s because I’m talented at pharmacy!” Fang Yuan said lightly.
Now that Fang Yuan’s stats window was unlocked, his abilities were increasing every day. He was no longer concerned about minor problems.
“Beatrice, right? Take a look!”
He tossed a parcel over casually, as if it were nothing more than a bag of trash.
Beatrice grabbed on to Sun Mengmeng’s arm. “Mengmeng, help me verify it! You’re a top student in the pharmacy department. You can tell if it’s inferior or low quality!”
So, Sun Mengmeng is from the pharmacy department. No wonder she brought her here! Fang Yuan rolled his eyes quietly. He began to doubt his luck. Is my Demon God aura leaking? Has the world decided to target me now?
“Let me see…”
Sun Mengmeng picked up a deep red test tube and began to examine it.
She scrutinized them without letting a single test tube go. After using various equipment, her expression looked perplexed after finally completing her examination.
“How is it? What do you think?” Beatrice asked anxiously.
“There’s no problem. The drugs are of top quality. On top of that, they’ve just been refined…” Sun Mengmeng stared at Fang Yuan wide-eyed. “You made these?”
“Sorry, commercial secret!” Fang Yuan smiled. “However, I’m now helping Teacher Han Yunfeng with his experiments! He has plans to take me as his student!”
“Mentor Han Yunfeng?!” Sun Mengmeng sighed, and her expression changed to one of understanding. “No wonder…”
A first-year that made low-tier brain development drugs would be shocking. However, if it came from Han Yunfeng, that alchemy master, it would not be surprising at all.
“Mentor Han Yunfeng has been a hot figure in our school lately. I heard that he’s overcome the bottleneck of ancient alchemy and managed to refine mid-tier brain development drugs using ancient techniques. The pharmaceutical companies that he’s a shareholder of are seeing their stock prices rising because of this. However, this is all just the tip of the iceberg. I heard that he’s been moving around lately, hoping that the school will support his experiment to make high-tier brain development drugs. Once he succeeds, it’ll be real chaos!”
Beatrice transferred nine hundred credits to Fang Yuan readily. At the same time, she said suggestively, “Junior, I still need more low-tier brain development drugs. I’ll take as many as you have. I can even pay more for them. Of course, if you can get me mid-tier brain development drugs, that’ll be even better!”
“There’s no problem with low-tier ones. As for mid-tier ones, I’ll give it a try! Keep in touch!”
Fang Yuan did not give a definite answer. With that, he turned and left.
“Mengmeng, do you know him?”
Beatrice looked at the parcel in her hands, her expression looking a little curious.
“Yeah. Remember that guy with a brain development of 35% but wanted to advance quickly? He ended up being rejected by Teacher Lü Songyang back then. That’s him!”
Sun Mengmeng laughed bitterly. “But I can’t believe he managed to produce so many drugs like this.”
“This isn’t a big deal… Han Yunfeng is an alchemy master. Low-tier brain development drugs are a piece of cake for him. However, this Lin Meng managed to obtain Han Yunfeng’s approval. I wonder what kind of experiment he completed with him to receive so many rewards…”
As for the possibility that Lin Meng had stolen these, Sun Mengmeng and Beatrice did not think in that direction at all.
Would a novice Mystic be able to steal something from a mentor’s lab? Unless East Dragon University’s security had turned to rubbish, there was no way! On top of that, Lin Meng was not dumb either.
“I should try to stay on close terms with this boy!” Beatrice began to calculate. “If I sell this drug to the outside after obtaining it at the cost of ninety credits, I’ll be a huge profit! The most important thing is that I can even get close to Han Yunfeng through this student!”
“Hm? Senior, is there something you know?”
Sun Mengmeng blinked innocently. She knew that her senior looked easygoing and straightforward, but she always seemed to have some kind of strong, hidden connections behind her.
“That’s right. According to my sources, the school’s higher-ups have already approved of Han Yunfeng’s preliminary proposal. They intend to purchase a bulk amount of precious materials, including a Zerg Empress brain! This means that his experiment has not had a major breakthrough, but that it’s very likely to succeed!”
“The high-tier brain development drug, huh…” Sun Mengmeng sighed. “However, this isn’t related to us!”
“No! You don’t get it!” Beatrice’s eyes shone brightly. “If Han Yunfeng’s experiment is successful, the cost of producing high-tier pills will fall exponentially… The impact of this will spread from high-level cultivators to all Mystics! It’ll affect all of society! Of course, it’ll take time. Furthermore, he’s only researching the brain development drug! However, once it succeeds, it means that his theory works!”
…
“So it’s like that!”
The two girls continued discussing quietly, not noticing that their words had also traveled to Fang Yuan’s ears.
Even though he had only recovered a small portion of his Demon God abilities, his hearing and vision were the most fundamental things he had recovered. As long as he perked his ears after walking a little distance away, he could overhear lots of valuable information.
“They think that my drugs came from Han Yunfeng? Great, that’s what I want them to think!”
Raising Han Yunfeng’s flag would reduce a lot of trouble. Fang Yuan was certainly glad to see that happen.
