Chapter 35 The Most Precious in the World Nowadays
However, John had other methods to gain traction. He gathered everyone together and whispered something.
After a moment, everyone had a complex look on their faces, speaking one after another.
"This isn't good, is it?"
"I think so too. It's damaging to our image."
"I've lived a life of integrity. I would never do such a thing! Unless you can give me more Stellar Coins."
John looked speechless and said, "Two hundred Stellar Coins per person."
As soon as his words fell, everyone became very enthusiastic and immediately got into the role.
"I'll take all these potions. Anyone who tries to snatch them from me will have to deal with me!"
"Is there anyone in the Black Market who dares to oppose me?"
People started arguing over the potions, and the scene became very noisy.
Soon, fights broke out.
A dozen people were brawling, creating utter chaos.
Such a commotion naturally attracted a lot of onlookers.
"Why did they suddenly start fighting?"
The crowd grew larger, driven by their curiosity.
John didn't expect this group to be so dedicated. Although they were con artists, their professionalism was commendable.
"Quick, stop them from fighting. Everyone can buy the mid-grade Power Potion for eight thousand Stellar Coins!"
John appeared to be breaking up the fight, but he was actually promoting his potions, emphasizing the eight thousand Stellar Coins.
A group of onlookers gathered around and pulled the fighters apart.
Among them, Jerry was covered in blood, looking extremely miserable. He crawled towards John with great difficulty and spat out a mouthful of blood.
John whispered, "Your acting is really good."
John instinctively took a strategic step back, looking at Jerry in shock, but he faintly smelled ketchup.
"Give me a bottle of the genuine mid-grade Power Potion for eight thousand Stellar Coins," As soon as he finished speaking, Jerry tilted his head and fainted.
John muttered, "Such dedication."
John's mouth twitched, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Are you okay? Are you okay?" The others rushed over to help Jerry up.
At that moment, Jerry's body twitched, and he said in a daze, "Quick, give me the mid-grade Power Potion."
John was speechless, feeling that the act had gone too far.
With a glance, he signaled the others to drag Jerry away.
"John, I told you, selling mid-grade Power Potions for eight thousand Stellar Coins is disrupting the market!"
The stall owner, Jacob, walked over and said with a face full of admonishment.
"Is the mid-grade Power Potion only selling for 8,000 Stellar Coins?"
At this point, the crowd finally reacted and looked at the yellow potions on John's stall.
According to market prices, mid-grade Power Potions were around ten thousand Stellar Coins, and in the Black Market, they sold for twelve thousand Stellar Coins.
"Is it fake?" A college student walked over, his eyes filled with suspicion.
John sized him up and guessed. "Are you a student at Southern River University?"
"Yes, are you too?" Kai Ember asked.
John looked like a college student, so Kai naturally assumed he was a fellow student.
John shook his head, "Do you have a student ID? If you want to buy, you can try it first."
John had some trust in the integrity of college students. If the student claimed it didn't work, John would go to his school to get back at him.
Kai thought for a moment and took out his student ID.
John read, "Southern River University, Class of 982, Combat Department, Class 2, Kai."
John nodded and returned the student ID to him.
Then he opened a bottle of potion and handed it to Kai.
Kai's heart stirred, and he summoned his contract spirit. As long as it didn't affect the city or harm anyone, summoning a contract spirit for a short time was legally allowed.
A half-meter-long blue insect appeared, its wings transparent and beautiful.
"A D-level Blue Winged Insect?"
Kai took the Power Potion and let his contract spirit consume a little.
Moments later, he looked excited and nodded.
Kai said, "It's a genuine mid-grade Power Potion!"
The crowd became extremely excited, not doubting Kai's words.
A Beast Taming student had a certain level of credibility in society.
"Only eight thousand Stellar Coins, only eight thousand Stellar Coins! Verified by a Southern River University student!" John shouted loudly.
As long as it was proven genuine, a mid-grade Power Potion for eight thousand Stellar Coins was definitely worth it.
Soon, all of John's potions were sold out, even the remaining low-grade Power Potions.
He earned over three hundred thousand Stellar Coins, and fortunately, he had gotten a bank card beforehand.
Kai played a significant role in this, so John sold him three bottles at seven thousand Stellar Coins each.
Jacob said, "Making Stellar Coins seems so easy."
Jacob was dumbfounded. He had been setting up a stall in the Black Market for a year and hadn't made this much.
"Jacob, here's your payment." John took out five hundred Stellar Coins and packed up his stall.
Jacob was speechless, looking at the five hundred Stellar Coins in his hand without any joy.
John also found the group of actors. Their contribution was significant in selling the potions so quickly.
John generously gave each person three hundred Stellar Coins for their performance and seven hundred Stellar Coins to Jerry.
"No need, I used ketchup. I'm not hurt." Jerry declined, feeling embarrassed to take a thousand Stellar Coins when the others only took three hundred.
John insisted on giving it to him and added him on Facebook.
In this era, talent was very valuable.
Carrying ketchup around showed a commendable level of dedication.
John quickly left the Black Market. It was already nine o'clock, and he bought some fried chicken on the way home, feeling happy.
The next day, John went to Andrew's material shop early in the morning and bought five Giant Fruits.
These were the main ingredients for making size potions, along with other necessary herbs.
Unlike Power Potions, size potions were not divided into low, mid, and high grades but were classified as basic, iron, and silver levels, corresponding to three tiers of contract spirits.
Giant Fruits were much more expensive than Power Flowers, with a market price of thirty thousand Stellar Coins each.
John spent a total of one hundred eighty thousand Stellar Coins to buy five Giant Fruits from Andrew's shop.
John couldn't wait to get home and immediately made twenty bottles of size potion.
Without mastery-level proficiency, there was no extra yield.
But twenty bottles of size potion were already rare; most shops didn't have that much in stock. Each bottle was worth about thirty thousand Stellar Coins.
He had no intention of selling them; he prioritized nurturing his golden Slime.
With the system's various rewards and potion infusions, even an F-level contract spirit could become the strongest creature.
John was already imagining the future growth of his golden Slime.
