Chapter 986.1: Risks
— Your price? Su Xiao asked, to which the man nodded thoughtfully and ordered a cup of coffee.
— Mr. Byakuya, we have already cooperated once, so the price will be more favorable, only 300,000 Paradise coins.
Needless to say, given the demand for such blueprints, the price of 300,000 coins was certainly sky-high, even if this blueprint was of gold quality.
Su Xiao just smiled and stared at the man without saying a word.
Ten seconds, one minute, five minutes passed...
The man in black didn't back down.
The coffee shop manager swallowed her saliva and muttered — " What is this tense atmosphere? Weren't they meeting for the sake of selling items? Why does it look so scary?
Su Xiao's smile was obviously not very pleasant.
As a result, the representative of the Black Sails panicked.
— Ahem, haggling during discussions is normal, so... " the man said. He was a little afraid of Su Xiao, but he was an experienced merchant. No matter what situation he was in, he had to maintain the dignity of a businessman and obviously couldn't sell his goods at a loss.
— Fifty thousand coins plus two recovery potions.
Su Xiao couldn't spend too many Paradise coins. Later, he would need to create an alchemy creature from this blueprint, which would obviously cost him a tidy sum.
— What kind of potions? The Black Sails representative did not immediately decline the offer. He was a smart enough guy. In fact, in a negotiation like this, one should never immediately reject the other party's offer, no matter how outrageous it seemed.
— After saying that, Su Xiao took out a potion bottle №1.
It was a specially improved No. 1 potion. It contained very few aggressive cells, which was why the risks from using this potion were quite low, although because of this, the effectiveness of this potion also fell slightly.
The normal version of No. 1 potion restored 87% of health, and this bottle of No. 1 potion restored 76% of health, which was average in Su Xiao's opinion.
Seeing this potion bottle, the man was surprised. It wasn't that he had never seen such effective potions, but that he had never seen purple-quality potions with such a good effect.
At first, he thought that Su Xiao only wanted to lower the price, but now that he saw this potion, he changed his mind.
— This really isn't a bad potion. I thought that Mr. Byakuya was just a melee fighter, but now it turns out that Mr. Byakuya is surprisingly smart and versatile.
Su Xiao was a little confused by the merchant's words, but he didn't show it, only thought about the meaning of his words.
This potion obviously pleased the merchant to even say that Su Xiao was smart.
Did intelligence affect alchemy? Not directly, but if you had a large amount of intelligence, there was a good chance of creating your own good potion in the end. This was evident from the fact that Su Xiao, who had no experience in creating new potions, was able to create a potion in the end №1.
A long time ago, he had wondered why the No. 1 potion was so effective. This purple potion could restore 87% of one's health, and it also restored both external and internal injuries.
After thinking about it, Su Xiao realized that due to having a large amount of intelligence, he was able to unknowingly improve the formula of his potion.
— So what? Su Xiao asked and looked at the merchant.
— I can see that Mr. Byakuya doesn't want to pay too many Paradise coins, so I can offer the following deal: 20 of these potions and 50,000 Paradise coins.
— One potion.
— … — the merchant paused, and his expression turned a little ugly.
— Mr. Byakuya, you're being too insincere.
— No, I'm very sincere.
Su Xiao realized that he really wanted this potion. Although it restored a lot of health, it had minor side effects. Once they are identified, its price will be significantly reduced. Su Xiao understood this, and it was precisely because of this that he didn't sell this potion. Apart from him, no one else could actually use such a potion.
The merchant was interested in Potion # 1 because he wanted to bring out the formula of potion # 1 and make improvements to it.
If he succeeds, he will earn a lot of money.
But he thought too much about his skills. The No. 1 Potion was made from ingredients so complex that most alchemists would only shrug their shoulders and question their skills. This potion itself was based on a single powerful recovery potion, and after that, Su Xiao significantly refined it and added Hashirama's cells to it. This potion was extremely difficult to create, and even with a clear formula at hand, many alchemists would simply not be able to create it, as this formula was developed by Su Xiao specifically for their needs and skills.
— If that's the case, then forget it. There are many chambers of commerce in Paradise.
The meaning behind Su Xiao's words was obvious, and it was true-there were many Black Sails-level chambers of commerce in Paradise. He only approached them because their contacts were literally at his fingertips.
