Chapter 169 "Fate" made me do this
With the conclusion of a large transaction, the atmosphere of the party was completely heated up, and Klein's identity as the financial sponsor was completely confirmed, especially since this "young master" directly gave the smaller box to the female companion next to him... 800 pounds was given away directly!
While everyone's attention was on him, Klein immediately proposed:
"I need the potion formula of the 'Thief' pathway, which requires sequences 9-7. Ha, I believe you no longer doubt my ability to pay, right?"
"Thieves..." "I've never heard of it..." "There is such a way? Thieves?"
Everyone discussed quietly, but no one could come up with the formula... Klein spread his hands, indicating that he no longer needed it.
As the party continued, Fors gently stroked the small box containing the "Reckless Triangular Thorn" and resisted asking why it needed to be renamed. She would have plenty of opportunities to ask after leaving the party! She just lamented that Klein had completed the task given by the team so naturally... while she was still immersed in the choice of whether to buy it or not! Is this the official Beyonder?
"A fortune-making accessory. Do you want to be as rich as the gentleman who spent 1600 pounds? It can improve a person's fortune within three months. You can earn back all the money you spent within this period! And even more! The price is 3000 pounds! It's absolutely worth it!"
...Klein's heart was pounding. What he wanted most was an item that could change his luck! After all, he was too unlucky before he traveled through time, so he performed a "lucky change ritual"... Who knew it was a "travel through time ritual"! Buy it and get rich? Unfortunately, it's too expensive... I'll buy it for 300 pounds!
Hmm? You actually use me as a promotional ambassador? Then can you let me try out the "get rich accessories" and I'll give them back to you after I get rich...
Klein was thinking as he watched the extraordinary party unfold. As expected, no one bought the "get-rich-accessory"... This was equivalent to investing 3000 pounds upfront and then slowly earning it back... But what if he couldn't earn it back?
At this moment, Fors suddenly turned his head and whispered in Klein's ear:
"I want to buy the potion formulas from 'audience' and 'pharmacist'. Do you think it's feasible?"
She was going to buy the formula for Miss Audrey and Viscount Glint! The guy who sold the shady potion was obviously a "pharmacist", which was exactly what Viscount Glint wanted!
She asked for Klein's opinion to make sure she wouldn't disrupt her companions' possible plans... Of course, Klein's reliable temperament was also a factor.
"Audience..." Klein thought to himself that he had it, and all advanced "mind readers" had it! The former came from Miss "Justice" of the Tarot Club... Why did Fors collect this formula? This is not a good way! Crazy warning! He couldn't help but think of Hood Eugen who was turned into meat paste in the lunatic asylum.
Wait, the Beyonders recommended by Miss Justice are Fors and Xio. Doesn’t the latter even know that Miss Justice is already a Beyonder? This…
Klein resisted the urge to hold his forehead with his hand and said softly, "Okay, I'll help you determine if it's real or not."
"Okay!" Fors felt relieved. She still trusted her teammates' appraisals more! She said in the silence after a successful transaction: "I hope to get the 'audience' and the 'pharmacist'... It would be even better if there are matching materials. The price will be negotiated."
The fat pharmacist acted like an orange cat whose tail had been stepped on, and he immediately spoke up:
"Hey, hey! After you become a 'pharmacist', don't you become the exclusive pharmacist of this young master Intis?
"Will he stop buying my potions? They say the Intis people are very creative... I finally got to see it today!"
Shit! Klein wanted to pull out the broadsword from the box and give the fat pharmacist a smack. This guy’s mouth really stinks!
But Fors did not get angry because of such nonsense. Instead, she smiled and said, "You guessed right. So, Mr. Pharmacist, what is the formula?"
The fat pharmacist immediately shook his head like a rattle, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and said to the Eye of Wisdom: "Old sir, I hope to, um, communicate alone. I must sign a series of contracts with them, such as not selling potions at the parties I attend!"
"Haha, that's a reasonable request." Eye of Wisdom laughed, and the members around him also laughed, and some even started to make a noise: "People won't steal your business at all! That's just a hobby!" "Yeah, your medicine is worthless to them!" For a moment, the party was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Shut up! The prices for medicines you buy will go up in the future! The prices will go up!" The fat pharmacist seemed to be ready to debate with the group of scholars, and then, led by a waiter in a red vest, he walked into a room at the back.
Klein nodded to Fors and left the wooden box there. The two of them walked into the room.
After the two men closed the door, the fat pharmacist immediately said:
"Do you know Roy King? The one from the Life School? Is your old man your teacher?"
"..." Klein was confused by this series of questions. Roy? Roy Wellington knew... the School of Life? Suspected that we were from the School of Life? Why? Just because we purchased the "Pharmacist" formula?
He turned his head to look at Fors and found that his companion also had a confused look in his eyes. He immediately said, "No, I don't know the person you are talking about."
The fat pharmacist's face froze for a moment, then he laughed and said:
"Well, just pretend I didn't ask...
"Do you still want the 'monster' formula that your old man asked to buy last time? Well, I have permission and can sell it to you."
The day after his previous party, he received a letter from his teacher Roy King, with the "monster" formula and a clue attached... The riddle teacher just said he would use it.
This reminded him of the "Intis old man" the day before...but he didn't expect that all the gatherings would stop after that, and they were only held now. He wanted to sell it to that old man, but now it should be okay to sell it to the relevant people, right? This is what the charlatan teacher asked him to sell!
“…Of course, we can do the deal now.” Klein’s expression did not seem unusual. Since it was Old Blue who wanted to buy it, there would be no problem for him to help buy it!
Fors was stunned for a moment. Did Old Blue buy the "Monster" formula at Mr. A's party? Not necessarily... Old Blue spent at least 700 pounds that time... It shouldn't be a Sequence 9 potion formula! She immediately asked:
"Monster formula, how much does it cost?"
"300 pounds? Oh, or the medullary crystal of the Elf Spring! I can even pay for the latter!" The fat pharmacist has been looking for this promotion material for a long time, but there is no clue!
300 pounds... It seems that Old Blue didn't buy this formula last time. Fors nodded to Klein.
Klein quickly counted out 300 pounds in cash and placed it on the table. He ignored the second name of the extraordinary material he had never heard of and continued, "Where's the pharmacist's formula? How much?"
"Hey, you don't have that material either..." The fat pharmacist lowered his head, picked up the pen on the table and wrote on a piece of paper:
"I really can't tell you about 'Pharmacist'... Wait! Don't be angry! But I can tell you where you can get it! It's in Backlund!"
Klein put down the cane he had just raised. It was just a subconscious action... He was not prepared to torture him. Well, probably not.
The fat pharmacist quickly wrote down the "monster" formula and the clue in Roy King's letter. He didn't understand what the old man meant by fate, but the old man was always so "lucky", so the decision he made shouldn't be bad, right?
Klein took the paper and casually glanced at the line of text below the formula:
"Go to the Harvest Church on Rose Street in the South District of the Bridge and find Bishop Utravsky. As long as you can help him complete a task, you may get the pharmacist's formula."
