Chapter 285: Chapter 220: Beaver_1

"Hello, nice to meet you. I am Jiu You from the Dragon group,"

Once the private chat was approved, the other party immediately sent a message, not wasting time with ’are you there?’ kind of pleasantries, but directly getting to the point.

"Hello, long time no see," Mu You replied simply.

"I’m sorry, I need to confirm one thing first. You are the expert known to Seeing Flowers in the Fog, and also the one who helped to repel the Ten Commandments in the Poisonous Swamp, right?" Jiu You asked.

"Yes."

"Sagittarius told me that you can refine the evolution elixir here and that you need two doses of unicorn blood, two doses of....." Jiu You tirelessly confirmed the list from Sagittarius with Mu You in detail.

Although the likelihood of Seeing Flowers in the Fog pulling off a sham was extremely low, after all, this was no small deal. Now that they had the chance to communicate, they definitely needed to confirm the details first.

"Yes, it’s accurate," Mu You provided live proof that Seeing Flowers in the Fog hadn’t been involved in any sort of back-knocking operation.

"How should I address you?"

"You can call me Ghost Captain," Mu You said.

While on a ghost ship, the other party could only see the title of his Ghost ship captain, and knew nothing else, he could communicate with the other party with ease.

"Alright. May I ask another question? What’s your rank as a Magic Potion Master, the success rate and quality of your preparation of evolution elixir? If you have sufficient materials to support it, how many can you produce per day?" Jiu You asked.

"As to the question of my rank as a Magic Potion Master, I can’t yet answer that. All you need to know is that I can refine the vast majority of known magic potions. As for the evolution elixir, I can promise that I can produce around 30 bottles per day, the quality being of ordinary grade. If you want a higher quality evolution potion, you’ll have to pay extra."

The preparation of the evolution elixir takes about 15 minutes per bottle. Without using the Fool’s Boundary, the normal successful rate of preparation is about 70%, and preparing 30 bottles would take less than eight hours.

"So, you’re saying that you can also prepare high-quality evolution potion?"

"Of course. But the higher the grade of the potion, the higher the price will be. It will also take much more time," Mu You warned him about the disproportionate returns when pursuing high-quality potions.

"And, what’s the highest quality you can reach?" Jiu You curiously asked.

"Epic."

Of course, Mu You could not yet produce an epic potion, but if he could repair the synthesis furnace, he could combine nine excellent ones, or three rare ones, to make one epic potion.

"Hiss..."

At the Dragon group’s base, Jiu You looked at the text message on his mobile phone and unconsciously took a deep breath.

He asked this question not really expecting to get a high-quality potion, but merely to indirectly probe the other person’s Magic Potion Master level.

He originally thought that an excellent grade would already be very good, after all, the evolution potion was a fourth-tier magic potion.

However, the other person’s reply was way beyond his imagination: epic fourth-tier potions could be made!

So what rank is this Magic Potion Master?

"I have another question... Is the formula for the evolution elixir for sale?’ Jiu You hesitated and then decided to ask.

"No."

As expected, the other person rejected his question in less than half a second.

Jiu You smiled bitterly but it was not surprising. This formula was only known to him in the entire humanity and he had enough means to refine it. This formula was a cash cow for him, so it was natural not to sell it.

Shaking his head, Jiu You traded all the materials he had prepared in his bag to the other side one by one.

Mu You, on the other hand, immediately received a large number of ’gift donation’ prompts.

[Jiu You has gifted you with 100 doses of unicorn blood.]

[Jiu You has gifted you with 100 doses of Deep Abyss Worm scales.]

[Jiu You has gifted you with...]

...

Besides the three main materials of 100 portions each, there were also those magic medicine materials listed in his list. After ticking them off, Mu You found that they were just enough for the compensation of fifty evolution elixirs.

"These are the first hundred portions of materials that we’ve collected, coming from the Dragon group and the Ice Emperor organization under the Different Agency. The materials from a few other domestic forces are still being gathered and may take a couple of days to arrive..." Jiu You said.

Despite having collected a full hundred portions of materials in just a few days, this almost emptied the overt stockpiles of the two large forces. In the end, they would only get fifty evolution elixirs back.

These fifty, given entirely to members stuck at level 15, can produce 10 advanced players. But if given to high-level players like him who are stuck at level 20, only two epic players could be produced. It’s still a stretch for the entire player group.

They had no choice. The time was just too short for them to gather enough materials, and Mu You was not able to produce as many.

"Noted. I’ll deliver them to you at this time the day after tomorrow," Mu You said.

"Okay, thank you." Jiu You sent a fist gesture emoticon. For an individual Magic Potion Master, producing 50 potions in two days was already very efficient, they couldn’t ask for more.

Afterward, Jiu You naturally remained on the ship for convenient communication and trading. This kind of important transaction couldn’t be delegated to others, it had to be handled personally.

Mu You didn’t bother about him. After settling the passengers, he quickly set up a new route for the Ghost Ship and set off for the next location.

Then he picked up the Pumpkin Lantern and went to the stern of the ship, ready to haul in today’s fishing nets.

To his surprise, he had only just reached the stern and had not yet collected the nets when a long-unseen Pumpkin Lamp prompt popped up.

[Pumpkin Lamp special effect triggered!]

[The green glow of the Pumpkin Lamp pierces the fog over the river surface. You see a similar ship lamp flickering faintly in the distance.]

[The other side seems to be sending you some kind of code with the bright and dim light of the ship lamp. Your Ghost Navigator informs you that the translation of the signal from the other side indicates that they hope you can stop the ship and wait.]

[Do you choose to stop the ship and wait?]

"Yes." So far, the events given by the Pumpkin Lamp were positive, and moreover, with a group of elite players on the ship, he wasn’t afraid of anyone causing trouble.

[You chose to stop and wait. The faint light from the ship lamp approached quickly. You finally saw that it was a small boat coming toward you, with a cat-like creature over a half a meter tall standing on the bow, wearing clothes similar to humans, goggles on its head, and holding a box in its hand.]

[After the small boat reaches the Ghost Ship, the otter speaks to you in human language: "Honorable captain, I am a sea map merchant from the River Otter tribe. Please allow me to board your ship to showcase my goods.]
