183: Chapter 165: Resupply 183: Chapter 165: Resupply Normally, a gardener works hard to select, cultivate, and harvest fruitful plants, and then… “…Then they get exploited at every level?” Lu Ping’an increasingly understood that this so-called Secret Realm hadn’t really changed much in some aspects. While enjoying the conveniences and channels brought by the orderly society, the chaotic operations, channels, and middlemen were everywhere. “With so many deductions, how much is left for the gardeners? There are too many low-level gardeners, and only a few popular low-level magic plants are available in the market. Going through the whole process, as long as you don’t lose too much, it’ll be acceptable, just like spending money to learn a skill.” When Lu Ping’an first heard about this, he couldn’t help but sigh at the intense competition. But after personally experiencing it, he realized it was an inevitable choice. Although Lu Ping’an had been making a profit along the way, besides his low costs, the “seeds” he chose were also something other newbie gardeners couldn’t obtain. It wasn’t possible for other gardeners to practice with research-grade magic plants like him. As long as the low-level gardeners don’t starve to death, that’s considered good enough. The few magic plants they can choose from are highly sought after in the market. Even Lu Ping’an’s waste materials could be sold at a decent price, let alone the fact that he owned several patents for new magic plants. But where there is income, there is also thought. Other gardeners constantly deal with “costs” and “returns,” so they naturally have a good understanding of the industry’s supply chain. Let alone knowing the market prices of certain commonly used magic plants, they are also very familiar with the functions, costs, and market demand of most “magic plant products.” “Oh, I heard that a water-based Secret Realm has appeared somewhere. Breathing potions and anti-choking potions should be in high demand in the market. We can start from the raw materials side…” This is what most gardeners should focus on; battles were far out of their logistical profession from the beginning. But now, having just returned from a trip to the Ancient City University, he had caught up a little on his coursework. “Is it really that cheap? 300 for one?” Lu Ping’an was somewhat speechless. His meticulously designed “high-speed hypnosis spray” was easily solved by the craftsman for 300, and using it didn’t even require precious life-points. “Yes, explosive sealing canisters are 300 each, and if you buy more than 20 at once, you get a 10% discount. You won’t find such a good deal from other craftsmen at the Ancient City University.” Not to mention how competitive the gardeners are, the craftsmen are also highly competitive. This silver-colored iron canister can hold a small amount of polluted liquid or gas, and when the button is pressed, it will burst for a short time, like a homemade smoke grenade or tear gas grenade. They also offer a “liquefaction” compression service for the polluted gas. Lu Ping’an made use of it and quickly obtained five “grenades” filled with hypnosis gas. The reason for not filling all of them was that the gas would deteriorate or weaken over time, and it was best to use them as they were being filled. Lu Ping’an spent another 200 to buy a reinforced anti-pollution compression device to compress the gas when needed. On top of it, there was a label from a regular factory. The craftsman only did some minor adjustments, so it couldn’t be sold for much. This small episode made Lu Ping’an reflect on his past actions and thinking. Maybe functional requirements don’t necessarily have to be achieved through magic plants. Low-level magic plants are primarily meant for production, and other methods can be used as well. “Create functionality, then utilize it through magic potions and craftsmen. For example, create plant poison and have the craftsmen process it onto your own weapons.” At this point, he immediately thought of Brother Guan. Brother Guan’s Ark wasn’t just about the power of the magic plants, it also had a lot of “ship” components. Clearly, Brother Guan was also a very powerful craftsman. Guan Xinxian used his crafting abilities to gradually perfect his Ark, and at the same time, he served as the link and control center between the magic plants, preventing the “survival struggle” of the magic plants themselves. Lu Ping’an picked up on this idea, but he would only truly learn and use this from the scattered memories once he started practicing it. At the same time, Lu Ping’an also learned that magic alchemists have a similar “pouring ability” and that there are even branches specializing in combat alchemy and combat throwing potions, which are extremely powerful. Among them, there are even abilities to “infuse elements,” making it one of the few professions where non-elemental abilities can also attempt to control elements in battle. It is said that a purely academic path also has similar enhancement and enchantment abilities, but Lu Ping’an couldn’t find a trustworthy trading partner in the short term, and his wallet couldn’t afford the high expenditure either. “Ah, I’m broke again…” Not long ago, Lu Ping’an made a small fortune. He had harvested some Xis White Flowers, and after maturing a few for himself, he casually sold the rest to the gardeners at the Ancient City University, making a small profit. But now, as he started purchasing anew, he was instantly broke again. “How much is this? Uh, not expensive. Get me one, and can you make some changes to it?” At the craftsmen’s workshop, Lu Ping’an also ordered a weapon, a pair of quasi-contaminated silver claws. He asked the craftsmen to create a poison chamber and provided the plant poison himself. Clearly, this was a gift for the cat. The special service team’s uniform was a pretty good piece of armor, and Lu Ping’an didn’t have the money or resources to provide something of the same quality, but the weapons were still as subtle as ever. He could request a mass-produced baton later, but as a weapon, its killing power was clearly insufficient. Although this had to do with the nature of the special service team’s work, they couldn’t be frugal at this point when dealing with more dangerous situations outside the city. “And make a set of rope and steel wire, right, and also some javelins. These are the specifications, can you make them?” All of these things were requested by the big cat for little cat’s future combat and practice. Cliff’s Fang was a very special combat unit. They didn’t have any weak spots in terms of distance or combat space, and as a result, they needed to learn many special weapons and combat techniques… “…I hope the cat doesn’t get too messed up.” Thinking of how the cat was already showing signs of being dazed before he left, Lu Ping’an didn’t have much hope. But of course, Lu Ping’an didn’t make a special trip just to buy these materials; he came to get medicine. “Only one bottle and it’s 300,000? And that’s just the cost price?” Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly and put away the silver bottle. Solid spirit potion, a rare magic potion of at least fourth-tier rating, is actually a healing potion for “spiritual damage,” “soul shelling disease,” and “spiritual power dispersion.” But in reality, it could strengthen the “self-awareness” of a spirit body through the physical body. For cats with “spirit body” characteristics, this was an extremely powerful remedy. But previously, the cat didn’t have any access to this information since it also had a price in the Secret Realm. This level of potion was beyond the capabilities of Miss Lululu to refine. In the end, she provided an introduction letter, and a teacher from the Logistics Department personally made the potion, charging only the cost price and labor fee. Giving the potion to the cat, Lu Ping’an had used up all the short-term resources he could add to her, and now he could only hope she would become better and grow stronger quickly.
