Dozens of hunters surged to the door of Bill’s Pharmacy. Only a dozen hunters went in while the others waited outside quietly.
Zhou Jing pretended to look at the ledger with only one line of words. When he saw Jason leading a group of hunters, he immediately smiled and sounded surprised.
“You’re here again. Why did you bring so many people? Is there a problem with the medicine potion?”
“No, your potion is very effective. It’s even better than the mass-produced products produced by the Empire Workshop.” Jason read the prepared words in the tone of a stick.
“Really?” Zhou Jing looked pleasantly surprised.
“That’s right. This is the best pain-reduction potion I’ve ever drunk. I came here this time to buy some more.” Cole echoed from the side, then sized up Zhou Jing in surprise.
He still remembered this guy who came to borrow money from Jason. At this moment, he couldn’t help but look at him in a different light. “I didn’t expect you to have such skills.”
“Of course. If I didn’t know pharmacology, how could I have saved Jason back then?” Zhou Jing answered fluently.
Jason nodded. “Yes. At that time, I realized that he was a good pharmacist, so I suggested that he come to the capital.”
They spoke in tandem to smooth things over.
“I see.” Cole understood and believed it.
The other hunters in the shop looked around curiously at the potions on the shelves.
Yesterday, Jason had only bought a bottle of Hunter Potion and given it to a few hunters. Not everyone had drunk it. Most of the people who came today were skeptical about Zhou Jing’s standards.
However, in the base yesterday, Jason and the hunters who had drunk it was full of praise. They were full of admiration for the potions here and agreed to come and buy them the next day.
Because Jason was high-profile, many hunters reluctantly believed him. They decided to give it a try and came over to take a look… In any case, they were full of energy and usually had nothing to do. They could come over and take a walk around the Royal Capital to kill some time.
Dozens of hunters were in groups, and the king did not dare to ignore them. At this moment, more than ten royal guards were following closely outside the door.
In the Royal City of Tarn, the relationship between the empire’s hunters and the royal guards was fine—unlike the conflict between the hunters and the lord’s guards in White Plains Town. This was partly because of the easygoing nature of the Hunters, but both parties still liked to tease each other and cause minor inconveniences from time to time.
Zhou Jing took the chance and introduced the potion’s effects to everyone.
Hunters had always been straightforward when it came to giving money. Since they were here to spend, they all bought all the pain reduction potions. Some even bought more than one bottle.
There were even hunters who secretly bought a few bottles of energy potions.
The group of ruffians naturally did not have the mood to keep. So, after buying the potions, the hunters did not stay any longer and scattered in all directions.
Some went to find women or men, drink at the tavern, and gamble. All of them went to have fun.
On the surface, the royal city guards who came to monitor the situation said that they were splitting up to track them down. In fact, they were just taking advantage of the situation. Some people would appear a few streets away and hang out with the hunters they knew.
The shelves of the potion shop were swept clean. There was a large amount of Hunter’s Potion missing, but there were dozens of new records in the account book.
“I earned 207 silver coins this time… The hunter’s potion is really a profitable business.”
Zhou Jing shook his jingling money bag excitedly.
Universal potions were targeted at the public, so the price would not be too high. However, hunters were an extremely profitable group to target. Ordinary hunter potions were sold for about three silver coins. Strong potions were usually three times the price of ordinary potions, far above the cost price.
If not for Jason, who could be considered as someone higher up in the mid ranks within the Imperial Hunters, it would have been too troublesome to open up the market.
He had deliberately asked Jason to come over to buy a potion and distribute it to others. He wanted to use Jason’s connections and reputation to bring in the first batch of hunter customers.
The moment these hunters discovered that the potion was extremely effective, they would bring more customers along and make his business famous. His reputation would then completely spread among the hunters… Of course, Jason still needed to continue adding fuel to the fire.
From this wave of customers that Jason brought, Zhou Jing had collected nearly half of the sum he spent on learning pharmaceutical knowledge, potion making, and renting the apothecary shop. It was really a huge profit.
Zhou Jing was calculating the accounts excitedly when the residents of the capital saw that the hunter had left. Only then did they walk into the shop curiously. As soon as they entered, they could not wait to ask about the situation.
“Boss, are those hunters here to buy potions from you?”
“Don’t tell me he drank too much and caused you trouble?”
Hearing this, Zhou Jing put on a smug expression and shouted,
“Those honorable hunters felt that the medicine I made was excellent and bought dozens of bottles of medicine from me. Did you see how happy they were when they went out with the medicine? Even the hunters said that it was good. Do you want some?”
Everyone looked at each other, tempted.
This was a potion that the hunter had personally certified. Even the hunter had especially entered the city to buy it. It must be something good. They could probably rest assured…
Thinking of this, many of the surrounding residents decided to believe in Zhou Jing’s standards and buy a bottle of medicine to try.
When dozens of hunters entered the city together, they attracted attention on the way. Many people from other districts followed them curiously. Seeing that the hunters were here to purchase potions, they also entered Bill’s Apothecary with interest and bought some potions.
Most of them were not sick at the moment, so they mainly purchased Energy Potions.
The price of the universal medicine was not high, but no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. There was still a good profit, so Zhou Jing would not reject anyone.
