Chapter 461 Everything Is Difficult at the Beginning

As night fell, Xue Hao bowed slightly and led the elegant and dashing Qin Shuya into the living room.

It's just that the dim light cast a shadow on Qin Shuya's face.

Chu Fei looked at Qin Shuya silently. He had been wearing a military uniform since they met. It's still the same today, but with a different color. But the colors of military uniforms are just that, gray, earthy yellow, navy blue, camouflage, gray and white, etc., highlighting a low profile.

But don’t tell me, it’s really quite unique.

Qin Shuya was asked to sit down, and Chu Fei was polite, saying thank you for taking care of him. It doesn’t cost anything to talk anyway, just say more when you have the chance, as long as the other person is willing to listen.

Even if you don’t want to hear it... just bear with it. Anyway, Chu Fei is now qualified to talk nonsense.

With Xue Hao, a local old man, Chu Fei has realized his own value - 10.0 practitioners are rare, but here in Red Pine City, 10.0 practitioners are still relatively common. After all, ordinary practitioners are always the mainstream.

However, an elite who can refine pharmaceuticals is a scarce person.

In the current Red Pine City, there are not many ordinary potions, because many of them can be mass-produced, or most awakened people can make them themselves.

After all, the technology and parameters of ordinary pharmaceuticals are very mature; just like refining sulfuric acid using local methods, ordinary people can also prepare it. That's the thing about science, it can be replicated.

However, high-end pharmaceuticals are different because they involve too many changes, too much professional knowledge, too much micro-operation, etc., and because the raw materials of high-end pharmaceuticals usually cannot be mass-produced, so that each raw material is different and can only be Refined by hand.

Generally, low-level and energy-storage potions, such as super brain potions, super potions, psychic potions, dragon blood potions, and spiritual essence potions, can already be produced in factories.

However, special types of potions, such as red flame potions, violent potions, etc., can only be produced manually.

There are also products such as primary resurrection potions, which can be produced on an assembly line or manually. But for assembly line production, I'm afraid even the equipment cost won't be recovered.

The raw materials that can be used to prepare primary resurrection potions are limited and of varying quality, so it is really not worth starting a production line.

Chu Fei was able to prepare primary resurrection potions by hand. This was the capital of Chu Fei's superior status - he got an identity card of 10.0 despite his 9.0 cultivation level.

In a place like Red Pine City, Chu Fei could just find a mercenary group to sign up, and he could get tens of thousands in fees every month.

Of course, there are requirements for being named, which means that the mercenary group can ask Chu Fei to refine potions at any time, and Chu Fei cannot refuse.

But an excellent pharmacy master, as long as he can keep busy, can name multiple mercenary groups. Two or three names are common operations. And as long as the pharmacist doesn't commit suicide, the average mercenary group won't care about this.

These things are really difficult for outsiders to find out for a while. But Xue Hao, a local old man, had already told Chu Fei.

Therefore, even if Chu Fei talks nonsense here, Qin Shuya is still laughing at him the whole time.

Just seeing Chu Fei talking nonsense and starting to talk about the weather in Red Pine City tomorrow, but not talking about refining medicine, Qin Shuya finally couldn't stand it any longer and took the initiative to speak:

"Chu Fei, I came here to ask for advice. Can the 10.0 red flame potion be refined?"

Qin Shuya went straight to the point like this, but Chu Fei couldn't continue talking nonsense and got serious:

"I can only say that I can now skillfully refine the 9.0 advanced red flame potion.

But the real Red Flame Potion, that is, the 10.0 advanced version, has only been tried twice, and both failed.

The price of failure is very high. Not to mention dispensing medicine, etc., the main medicine is two 11.0 alien crystal cores and two 11.0 living corpse crystal cores. All wasted. "

Qin Shuya was silent.

One of the important reasons why there are so few outstanding pharmacists is that the cost of training is too high, and most people can’t afford it.

Let’s not talk about advanced crystal nuclei such as living corpse crystal nuclei and alien crystal nuclei. Even ordinary 11.0 alien beast crystal nuclei have a starting price of hundreds of millions. As for the living corpse crystal core, it wouldn’t be too much to double it...

In fact, Chu Fei already knows that an ordinary 8.0 crystal core starts at 100,000 yuan no matter how bad it is. An excellent 8.0 Living Corpse Core can be auctioned for up to five million—which is almost the ceiling price.

Although the auction price cannot be used as the market price, it can be used as the psychological price. Everyone said that the 8.0 living corpse core is worth five million.

But generally speaking, living corpse crystal cores can sell for three to five million. If they are of good quality, it is normal to sell for one million.

The reason why the price is so high is because there are too few exotic animals and too many people in the interior, so the value of excellent crystal cores will never be cheap.

8.0 is so expensive, how much does the 11.0 Living Corpse Core cost? If it really goes to auction, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold back for 300-200 million yuan.

The cost of Chu Fei's two attempts is estimated to be no less than one billion.

One billion, all in vain.

The Jinhua Business Group's net profit for the whole year was only 7.8 billion.

Well, Chu Fei was bragging a bit. But Chu Fei did try it with 10.0 crystal nuclei, and he does not have the ability to refine 10.0 potions for the time being.

Well, Chu Fei understood the reason after Wu Yong explained the requirements of the enlightened ones. The real 10.0 medicine already involves super three-dimensional attributes. This is something Chu Fei cannot do for the time being.

Although Chu Fei has already been exposed to some super three-dimensional attributes, as long as Riemannian geometric logic has not been constructed, Chu Fei's cosmic brain cannot analyze the super three-dimensional attributes, and naturally cannot refine 10.0 potions.

Seeing Qin Shuya's disappointed and disbelieving expression, Chu Fei finally gave a brief explanation.

When Qin Shuya heard the request to refine a 10.0 potion, she still didn't believe it. "We have many alchemists here whose cultivation level is only 9.0, but they can refine a 10.0 potion."

Chu Fei smiled, "There are two situations.

First, use 11.0 crystal nuclei to refine 10.0 potions. This is possible. But this is equivalent to exchanging 100 yuan of wealth for a few yuan of medicine. Even if successful, the rate of return will not exceed 10%, and less than 5% is common.

I've done this before, and it's okay for emergencies on the battlefield.

Second, it is not a real 10.0 potion, it can only be regarded as a half-step 10.0 potion.

If you are a 10.0 enlightened person, the half-step 10.0 potion will have almost no effect. If you are a 10.0 Awakener, you can give it a try. "

Qin Shuya was silent again after hearing this.

The 10.0 Awakened Ones and the 10.0 Awakened Ones are both at the 10.0 level, but they are one in the sky and the other in the earth.

Chu Fei watched Qin Shuya silently without speaking, waiting for Qin Shuya to make a decision.

Until now, Chu Fei only knew that the cultivation level of Xinzha, the leader of the Jinhua Merchant Group, had reached 10.8, but Chu Fei didn't know whether he was an awakened person or an awakened person, and it was not convenient to inquire about these things.

After all, Chu Fei just used the Jinhua business group to settle here, and the friendship between the two parties only went so far.

Qin Shuya was silent for a while and finally spoke, "What if you use 10.0 crystal cores to refine a half-step 10.0 potion? Awakened person's potion will do."

Hearing this, Chu Fei glanced at Qin Shuya and understood in his heart that the cultivation level of this leader of Xinzha should be a level 10.8 "awakened one".

Well, the Awakened are the mainstream. Enlightened people are a rare species.

With these things flashing through his mind, Chu Fei said: "I can only say that you can give it a try. But are you ready for the price of failure?

I can definitely say that I have not only tried, but tried more than once before, and never succeeded.

But it was not completely unsuccessful. I have refined the spirit essence potion, and the quality is pretty good. "

Chu Fei did try 10.0 special potions, such as the red flame potion, but only had a brief taste. Later, I devoted myself to refining the 9.0 red flame potion and violent potion to make a "matching set" for myself.

The only 10.0 potion that Chu Fei successfully refined was the Lingyuan potion. But now it seems that the Lingyuan potion is just an energy storage potion and has almost no super three-dimensional properties, so Chu Fei can prepare it.

While he was talking, Chu Fei still took out a bottle of Lingyuan potion and put it on the table, pushing it in front of Qin Shuya, "Captain Qin can make an appraisal."

Lingyuan potion costs half a million yuan, which is nothing to Chu Fei and Qin Shuya.

So Qin Shuya opened the potion and drank it in one gulp, showing her trust in Chu Fei in her boldness.

After drinking the potion and feeling it carefully for a while, Qin Shuya's eyes lit up, "The quality of this potion is almost perfect, it is 100% quality potion!"

Chu Fei shook his head slightly, "It should not reach 100%, there are still some flaws. But 98% is no problem.

This potion is made from alien crystal nuclei, and some other attributes are sacrificed in order to remove the violent attribute. "

Qin Shuya nodded slightly, "How difficult is it to hunt for alien crystal nuclei and living corpse crystal nuclei in Dawn City?"

Chu Fei: "If it is an elite group with a score of 9.0 or above, the income should be guaranteed and the safety should be basically worry-free.

But if people from all parties gather together, it will be a different story.

After all, the most dangerous thing in the world has never been alien species, but humans themselves. "

Qin Shuya pondered for another moment and said: "I would like to ask you to try refining a 10.0 red flame potion. You don't need to be at the level of the awakened person, just the level of the awakened person, which means that half a step to 10.0 will do.

I'll pay for all the cost of refining the medicine. If successful, each bottle of potion will replenish another 500,000. "

"Okay!" Chu Fei agreed.

Qin Shuya was spending her own money to train Chu Fei, so of course Chu Fei had to agree.

As for the Red Flame Potion, the reference price of the finished product is also 1 million - the reference price does not represent the actual selling price, but the actual selling price will not be too far off.

Obviously, Qin Shuya was doing a favor.

Then, Qin Shuya took out a full "glasses case", which is also a space capsule. "Everything in it is used to refine the red flame potion."

Chu Fei opened it and couldn't help but take a breath of air. There are 22 various 10.0 crystal cores, as well as 45 special fruits, elixirs, etc.

After taking a casual look, Chu Fei couldn't help but said: "These things are worth no less than 3 billion."

Qin Shuya nodded, but pretended to smile relaxedly: "How about it? Do you dare to accept it?"

Chu Fei smiled easily: "It's not bad. The number of 11.0 crystal cores we handled in Dawn City before was only this amount."

Qin Shuya:......

I accidentally let this young man pretend to do it.

But then Qin Shuya changed the subject, "Chu Fei, do you think we should form a group to fight in Dawn City? We will start from Red Pine City and go to Dawn City along the road you took."

"I don't know this because I ran away.

But the straight-line distance of 900 kilometers is indeed a bit far.

If you think you can get a guaranteed return from such a long-distance battle, then I have nothing to say.

Just be careful, the supplies in Dawn City are extremely scarce right now. ”

Nine hundred kilometers, it doesn’t seem very far. Chu Fei and Wu Yong ran here in just six hours.

If Qin Shuya only organized a group of masters above 9.0 to fight, it would be okay. Safety should be guaranteed. But the benefits of such a long-distance battle would be questionable.

In fact, Chu Fei felt that he would lose money, but he didn’t say it. What if someone else went and made money?

First of all, if you want to cross the mountains and fields with a straight-line distance of 900 kilometers, you must first have a locomotive - there is no need to think about transport vehicles. Four-wheeled vehicles can’t get through the mountains and dense forests.

However, as far as Chu Fei saw, motorcycle culture is not popular in Hongsong City. If you want to build a locomotive that meets the requirements of ultra-long-distance combat alone, the cost will be very high.

Secondly, when you arrive in Liming City, you have to compete with local forces, which is a lot of pressure. The missiles of Lieyang City can fall directly on your heads!

The four words "local advantage" are not said casually.

Finally, there is the problem of supply. Now The food and daily necessities of Dawn City are not enough for them. Dawn City in the war does not recognize the inland currency. After all, the currency itself cannot be eaten and cannot resist insects and bullets. The transportation capacity of the locomotive is limited, and a large amount of military supplies must be transported.

Maybe Hongsong City can use airplanes, and there are indeed airplanes here. But thinking that the alien insects have already appeared in the magical longhorn beetle, Chu Fei is not optimistic about the safety of the airplane.

However, Chu Fei just went through all this in his mind, but did not say it.

In the end, Qin Shuya left in silence.

Looking at Qin Shuya's back, Chu Fei couldn't help but sigh. In fact, Qin Shuya's pressure is really great. Now the operation of the entire Jinhua Merchant Group is on her thin shoulders.

Losing her husband and the pillar of the family, she has to ensure the operation of the merchant group and train her brother-in-law to break through as soon as possible.

It's not easy.

But Chu Fei can't help much. The only thing he can help with is probably the current potion refining.

"Try your best. Meeting is fate, and I will help if I can. Anyway, I don't have much to lose. ”

The research laboratory for refining medicine has been debugged, and Chu Fei immediately got busy.

Nine out of ten of the crystal cores and spiritual medicines Qin Shuya gave Chu Fei had never seen before. Fortunately, Qin Shuya was well prepared, and there was a detailed introduction to each crystal core, each spiritual medicine or fruit.

But it can be seen that Qin Shuya was just collecting information, because many introductions were repeated and conflicting.

All Qin Shuya could do was to sort out the various descriptions according to the possibilities without making any deletions.

In fact, this is also one of the difficulties in refining high-level medicines: raw materials, or "spiritual medicines" There are too many types of "medicines". Usually, one medicine has several formulas, and the processing methods of each formula are completely different.

To this day, there are still many spiritual medicines that have no truly appropriate methods of use. Many pharmacists are very careful and will not easily reveal the secrets they know.

Now, Chu Fei is doing research on a spiritual medicine called "White Jade Ginseng": a half-step 10.0 level spiritual medicine, the level is equivalent to the elf fruit, and there is no such spiritual medicine as White Jade Ginseng in the information given by Wang Longyang.

This White Jade Ginseng has many uses. In the information given by Qin Shuya, there are more than twenty uses.

For example: it can As an auxiliary medicinal material for primary resurrection potion and violent potion;

It can also be used as the main medicine to refine 9.0-level potion and marrow cleansing potion for suppressing deformation;

But it can also refine a kind of poison, a highly toxic poison, a bone-eroding potion, and it is also 9.0-level. Poison is different from normal potions. A 9.0 poison is also effective for a 10.0 master! Even if the effect is halved, poison is poison.

There is also an introduction to the medicinal properties at the end, with more than 20 kinds. The first few have potions on the market as reference, and the latter are all "hearsay or reasonable speculation", but also It makes sense.

After just a moment's reading, Chu Fei fell into thinking: What should I do in this situation?

Among the spiritual medicines at present, there are three white jade ginsengs in total, and it is impossible to test the medicinal properties of each one.

And these medicines were sent by Qin Shuya herself after all, and they are likely to be the bottom of the Jinhua Merchants Group and the hope for its rise.

Although Chu Fei feels that he is not a gentleman, he still has a bottom line. People trust him so much, even if he messes up, he should do his best, instead of fooling around.

But he doesn't know 90% of these medicines and crystal cores, so he has no idea where to start!
