Chapter 279: Chapter 172: The Buying Frenzy of Magic Products

Whether Hope Village could make history was a matter for the future, but at this moment in Hope Village, with the appearance of the territory’s magic shops, the entire territory was boiling with excitement.

Especially the Blue Star residents within the village.

Only a small portion of them had ever been to other territories and heard about the various magical items of the world from others.

Although some people had bought quite a few, the quantity was limited and many didn’t even have the chance to purchase them.

The biggest gains were probably the various magic spells, as spells were comparatively more convenient to spread.

Therefore, they had always been very interested in the magic merchandise of the Stan Continent.

These days, as other merchant teams arrived, many people had also seen some of the merchandise.

But to them, it was far from enough.

And now, their own territory had relevant shops, and the items available for selection were overwhelmingly abundant. How could they not be thrilled?

Therefore, after asking around for the locations of these shops, countless residents started rushing toward them.

Potion Shop.

After Maria had arranged the shelves, she had already neatly displayed a variety of potions from her inventory.

In the shop, four others accompanied her, and the rest had gone nearby to look for medicinal plants.

After all, producing potions from plants found on their own would cost much less.

Besides arranging them neatly, Maria had also priced each potion.

"This price, might it be too high?" Helson, a mercenary in Maria’s team, couldn’t help but speak up, "The overall prices in Hope Village aren’t high, maybe their residents don’t have much money and might not be willing to buy potions?"

"Potions are a necessity. Hope Village currently only has a hospital, and people who get injured or fall ill can only go to the hospital for treatment. Especially if injured while outside, it’s very inconvenient to come back for treatment. Potions can solve this problem for them, and they will be willing to buy. Moreover, who says just because the prices in Hope Village are low, they don’t have money? Maybe they’ve saved quite a lot precisely because of that!" Maria had decided to open this potion shop not on a whim, but after observing the market.

Hearing what Maria said, Helson and the others chose to believe her for the time being.

Just then, suddenly, several people rushed into the shop from outside.

Looking at the full shelves of potions, their eyes immediately lit up.

"As expected, there are potions, so many of them!"

"Hurry up and buy!"

"I want a Healing Potion."

"I want a Magic Potion, why are there so few? Don’t fight me for it!"

"What is this potion? A Speed-up Potion? It increases speed! I’ll take it!"

"Is there anything that can improve physical strength? Physical Strength Potion? Can do, can do!"

"..."

These people started to frantically sweep goods off the shelves right there and then.

After all, potions were in short supply in their territory, and the shop’s potions didn’t seem that numerous. They needed to stock up before more people came and potentially left them unable to buy later on.

Even if they ended up buying potions they didn’t need, they could surely resell them.

Before Maria and her team could even react, more professionals came into the shop.

The same, they headed straight for the variety of potions on the shelves.

In just a short while, nearly half of the freshly stocked potions were already sold.

"That was fast!" Helson, who had been worried about the potions not selling, couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Maria looked at his shocked expression, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don’t be surprised, hurry up and maintain some order. Also, if others don’t know the effects of the potions, inform them."

"...Yes." Helson nodded, feeling slightly dizzy, and quickly stood in different corners of the shop together with the other three.

Maria did the same, watching as the shop’s revenue climbed rapidly, a slight smile forming on her lips.

There were many potion shops in Bengala Town, and each establishment’s business was pretty consistent. It was too difficult for her to break into the market, and she might even get squeezed out, but it was different in Hope Village.

She was determined to level up and become an Intermediate Alchemist as soon as possible. When that happened, even the emergence of another potion shop wouldn’t shake her status in Hope Village.

Of course, what she desired more was to catch the eye of the Lord of Hope Village through her scarce profession, hoping to become an official member of Hope Village in the future.

In other territories, she saw no opportunities, so she never dared to hope. But in Hope Village, there was a chance, and she was determined to grasp it firmly.

Magic Equipment Store.

This shop was opened by Wendell.

During his time in Bengela Town, he had noticed that the professionals from Hope Village paid close attention to magic goods. Although there were only a little over two hundred of them, they had purchased thousands of magic items in total.

Clearly, these were not for their personal use, which indicated a shortage of these goods in Hope Village, and also that the professionals of Hope Village had the capital to buy them.

Therefore, on his way here, he managed to obtain a good number of magic goods at relatively low prices through his connection with Simmons. As long as he could sell them, he stood to make a big profit.

As he was thinking this, a stream of professionals had already flooded into his shop.

However, compared to the frenzy at the potion shop, these professionals were primarily interested in understanding the items, since equipment, unlike potions, was not a necessity and needed to match their daily requirements.

So, as soon as they came in, many approached Wendell and others, asking curiously,

"Magic equipment, what kinds do you have in this shop?"

"Can you give us an introduction?"

"Are there any special requirements?"

Faced with these thirsty looks, Wendell slightly gestured to the people beside him, and they immediately understood, guiding the crowd toward different display cases.

"This is a magic wand that can cast spells, different from a magic staff; it releases the spells you’ve stored in advance..."

"This here is an invisibility hat, with the same effect as an invisibility potion, except it has a matching magic item that allows it to be identified..."

"This is a magic carpet that can make the person sitting on it fly, but it requires a high storage of magic power, otherwise, you won’t be able to fly high or far."

"This is a magic ball, which can store magic power. It can be used to replenish magic during combat and can also be used in conjunction with the magic carpet."

"..."

"Over here we have daily life magic items."

"This is a self-cleaning tablecloth, engraved with a small array made up of cleaning spells, so you’ll never have to worry about it being dirty."

"This is a brand-new cleaning broom that automatically sweeps wherever it’s dirty in the house."

"This is a magic kitchen tool; it can heat up your food automatically for you."

"..."

As they were introduced, the professionals from Hope Village couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Ah, a magic carpet! I want to buy it! I can’t resist; it was my dream when I was young!"

"Invisibility hat, heh heh, now I can wander farther away."

"Magic ball, no need to worry about running out of magic power and not being able to kill the boss anymore."

"Heh heh, I’ll buy a magic item that automatically washes dishes so I won’t have to wash them at the shop every day anymore; I didn’t expect there to be a magic version of the dishwasher."

"I like these daily life magic items too, even non-professionals can use them!"

"..."

With their discussion, various magic items in the Magic Equipment Store kept selling out.

Wendell watched the excitement of the people, his eyebrows slightly raised.

The people of Hope Village, be they professionals or commoners, were indeed interested in these magic items, and most importantly, they seemed completely ignorant about them, as if this was their first encounter.

This territory had also popped up suddenly before; its origin was indeed a mystery!

Particularly, many of the commoners didn’t seem to look up too much to the professionals; they seemed to view each other as equals.

And the professionals didn’t show any contempt for the commoners, but rather treated them like brothers.

This attitude, combined with the uniformity in the levels of professionals from Hope Village, led him to a shocking hypothesis.

But the hypothesis was so staggering that he was reluctant to confirm it.

"Captain, we need to restock over here!" The next moment, a voice pulled Wendell back to reality.

Looking at the shelves that had emptied out considerably, Wendell hurriedly went to restock, thinking that he had plenty of time to observe more since he would be in Hope Village for a while longer.

And like the Potion Shop and the Magic Equipment Store, similar scenes played out at other magic-related shops.

The mercenary teams behind these shops were blooming with joy.

The residents of Hope Village were more lavish than they had imagined!

They really had stayed in the right place!

At that moment, aside from the "benefits" of Hope Village, the word "interests" also bound them to this little boat.

And this scene was also witnessed by Charlotte, who remained in Hope Village for observation.
