Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 65 - 1 Rebellion Mercenary Group_2

"Poor? It's all because of you vampires, nothing but money-losing freeloaders," Yue Jinghua gritted her teeth and said, truly feeling like vomiting blood. Before she came to this world, she had hundreds of millions of International Coins in an anonymous bank in Liechtenstein.

Raising people is difficult, and raising messy Summoners and Beast Tamers is even more difficult.

Now that she was on the street, Yue Jinghua wanted to see how the only business she owned was doing now, so she decided to visit the small pharmacy run by Hong Yao and Hongling.

Not looking would have been fine, but one look almost made Yue Jinghua spit out three liters of blood.

The shop was located in a secluded area, and even during the busiest time, there were no customers.

Seeing Yue Jinghua, both Hongling and Hong Yao were somewhat at a loss.

The pharmacy had just opened, and the flagship Elixir Pills were Yue Jinghua's unique formula, the "True Dark Pill," along with other simple, easy-to-make Elixir Pills from Yongchun Hall.

With the help of Creation Lotus Fire, the quality of these Elixir Pills was at least one grade higher than those of Yongchun Hall. However, the pharmacy was unknown and newly opened. Even when a few customers did come in and heard the familiar names of the Elixir Pills, they would turn around and leave without a second word.

Hong Yao was originally very confident that she could manage the pharmacy well, but she overlooked one issue—the nightclub had a legitimate Middle-level Pharmacist, Lady Yao, who reassured everyone of the quality of the Elixir Pills. As for Yongchun Hall, there was a famous elder alchemist in charge, so customers naturally didn't doubt the quality of the Elixir Pills.

It's no wonder people didn't trust an unknown pharmacy like this one.

Just as the three were at a loss, a man dressed like a Dark Practitioner walked in.

He looked suspiciously at the Elixir Pills labeled "True Dark Pill" and asked, "How much for the True Dark Pill?"

Standing in the shop, Hong Yao hesitated. She thought for a moment, quickly assessed the newcomer dressed as a mercenary, and seeing his cultivation level, roughly at the Late-stage Jade Dark, this kind of person could afford a certain price, but it couldn't be too high. After making up her mind, she promptly said, "One hundred Gold Coins."

After bulk sales of True Dark Pills, the price had already dropped below a thousand Gold Coins. The price at the nightclub was generally around three hundred Gold Coins.

"How much?" The Dark Practitioner, hearing the price being a full seventy percent lower than at the nightclub, couldn't help but think he had heard wrong.

Yue Jinghua, who was standing at the entrance of the pharmacy, closer to the mercenary, interjected, "Fifty Gold Coins."

Hong Yao was shocked, wondering why the owner was quoting a random price and even undercutting it by half. She was about to speak again when she saw Yue Jinghua silently gesturing to her.

"How much?" The still hesitant Dark Practitioner quickly asked again.

"Our boss said, fifty Gold Coins," Yue Jinghua said with a smile, gesturing with her hand, "Here, it even comes with a bottle of insect repellent powder."

"Fifty Gold Coins, count them carefully," the man hurriedly took out his money bag, poured out a bunch of Gold Coins, and hastily stuffed the True Dark Pill into his pocket as if fleeing.

Others might not recognize the True Dark Pill, but he did. He was a mercenary from the Rebellion Mercenary Group. A few days earlier, one of his brothers had distinguished himself and was rewarded with a True Dark Pill by the deputy leader, who even boasted about it in front of everyone.

The color, the fragrance, it was this kind of True Dark Pill. No—rather, the one he saw today seemed even better than that one.

Staring blankly, they watched as the delighted mercenary walked away, both Hong Yao and Hongling remained silent.

"Did you see that? This is what you call trading. From now on, do the same. There's no one in the world who doesn't like a bargain. True Dark Pills, which can be crafted from herbs costing just a few Gold Coins, can be resold for fifty Dark Pills. This small pharmacy is truly a golden goose," Yue Jinghua grinned widely, putting the fifty Dark Pills into her pouch.

Shameless, utterly shameless. It was the first time seeing someone conducting business this way and still being so complacent about it, leaving Qing Pu speechless too.

It must be said, Yue Jinghua's marketing strategy quickly took effect.

In the following days, Hongling and Hong Yao copied the model, working in tandem and sold many Elixir Pills in the same way.

The duo evolved from initial awkwardness to handling things with ease.

The authenticity of the Elixir Pills was soon established.

On the third day, just before dusk, a man with red hair entered the modest pharmacy.

Dressed in fiery-colored clothes, his muscles visibly defined, with long legs and broad shoulders, standing nine feet tall—this was a true Dark Martial Artist. "Excuse me, do you have True Dark Pills for sale?" The red-haired man, his face adorned with a beard and messy hair, had sharp light-brown eyes like an eagle.

Hong Yao stepped forward and upon seeing a ring on the man's finger, his expression changed slightly—Rebellion Mercenary Group, one of the top ten mercenary groups on Canglong Continent.

Shang Kingdom, sandwiched between Dragon Battle and Rui Song, two major countries, is one of the busiest areas for mercenaries, with many mercenaries frequenting nightclubs.

Mercenaries earn their money through life and death; they are quick to pay but also the hardest guests to provoke. Even slight discrepancies in goods can lead to the store being smashed up or worse, injuries.

What's troublesome is, whether it's the two major countries or Shang Kingdom, none can directly restrict a mercenary's actions.

In the eyes of a mercenary, only the Mercenary Guild matters.

"For a large purchase, we would need a three-day advance order," responded Hong Yao, catching the red-haired man by surprise.

He surveyed the recently opened pharmacy once more and noticed the various basic Elixir Pills displayed, including golden sore medicine, Concentration Powder for mental focus, and insect repellent powder. All these products were superior in price and quality compared to those previously bought at Yongchun Hall or the nightclubs by Rebellion.

"I need two hundred True Dark Pills. I'll come to pick them up in three days. Here's the deposit." The red-haired man straightforwardly took out ten Third-level Dark Pills.

A few days earlier, one of his subordinate mercenaries had bought a high-quality True Dark Pill for fifty Dark Pills, prompting the inquiry and visit by the red-haired man.

Hong Yao, not daring to delay, accepted the deposit.

"Wait a moment, what's the price of that pill?" The red-haired man noticed a lone peculiar-named pill called "Durian Pill."

"This," Hong Yao glanced around—Hongling was nowhere to be seen, making it difficult for her alone to "play dumb." The oddly named and shaped pill had been casually left on the counter by the owner as part of her experimental new pills.

"One hundred Third-level Dark Pills," someone replied from behind, taking over from Hong Yao at a calm pace.
