Chapter 74: Two Crafting Recipes

Rose Tavern.

The clerk praised, “In this world of limited resources, not to mention equipping every member with gear, even offering free training to newcomer players is already an exceptionally friendly act.”

Kamiyu felt that Li Changde’s philosophy was very similar to her own—providing members with assistance, offering them equipment and combat techniques was essentially providing them with productive tools, which in turn helped oneself.

Helping others was helping oneself. No wonder he had managed to grow and strengthen the guild so effectively.

Cooperation wasn’t merely driven by profit; it was shared values that enabled lasting partnerships. After careful consideration, Kamiyu decided she would now collaborate with the Invincible Guild.

She nodded, “Exactly. When I encountered those veteran players reselling potions at the gate, Guild Leader Li Changde’s approach was leagues above theirs.”

The clerk agreed, “The area near the city gate is full of scammers who exploit information gaps to deceive newcomers. It’s truly dishonest.”

To cooperate, one couldn’t come empty-handed. She needed to prepare her bargaining chips first.

Kamiyu decided to produce some potions, equipment, and items before approaching their guild for collaboration.

What kind of cooperation could be discussed without goods on hand? She wasn’t a professional speculator dealing in futures or empty promises. She was a straightforward seller who delivered goods in exchange for payment.

Kamiyu continued, “Do you offer safe, private spaces here?”

The clerk replied, “Of course, miss. What kind of private space do you need? A guest room for rest or a workshop for practicing skills?”

“A guest room will do.”

The clerk led her to the backstreet. After passing through an alley, they arrived at a five-story inn.

“Room 404, third door on the left on the fourth floor.” The clerk handed her the key and turned to leave.

Kamiyu entered the inn, climbed the wooden stairs, and opened the room door.

She was astonished. “Is there something wrong with the size of this room?”

From the street, the inn appeared to cover only about 500 square meters in total, yet this room alone was over 200 square meters.

Kamiyu stepped out of the room and looked around. The entire fourth-floor corridor had a row of 16 rooms. If each was this large, that would total 3,200 square meters.

This didn’t make sense.

Kamiyu calmed herself down. She was probably just inexperienced and easily surprised. She would ask the clerk later how this was achieved and implement something similar in her own Sanctuary.

Kamiyu closed the door and locked it securely.

Sitting on the sofa, she began her work for the day.

Her plan was to prioritize making potions. Selling potions would allow her to exchange for more materials to build her Sanctuary.

Kamiyu opened the exclusive interface panel of her Construction Sage Talent.

Small, Medium, Large, Giant, and Super-Type Healing Potions restored 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% of health respectively.

“Wait, my Construction Sage Talent has the Triple Attributes effect. So if I craft a Medium Potion, wouldn’t it exceed 100% health restoration?”

“And a Super-Type Healing Potion would break through the limits, restoring 300% health at once?”

“That would mean one life is equivalent to three. When fighting a Dungeon Boss, taking one Super-Type Potion would allow me to tank its damage directly?”

“Wow, is this even possible?” Kamiyu grew more and more excited as she thought about it.

When she was ready to start crafting, she discovered that the Construction Sage Talent had another application called “Recipe.”

It meant that with identical attributes, she only needed one-third of the materials others required.

As the name implied, to craft a Minor Health Potion that restored 20% health, other Pharmacists or Alchemists would need three stalks of Angel’s Breath.

But she only needed one.

Kamiyu widened her eyes—was this really possible?

Now she felt somewhat conflicted. One option was to use the same materials but amplify the attributes by three times. The other was to maintain the same attributes while reducing the materials to one-third.

After some thought, Kamiyu decided both recipes could be implemented.

She would keep the good stuff for herself—the triple-attribute items—and only release them once she had established herself and gained enough strength to protect herself.

The normal items could be sold on a large scale. With the same attributes, they would appear more low-key on the market. Even if she produced a large quantity, she could explain it away as spoils of war from mob grinding or defeating Dungeon Bosses.

Moreover, requiring only one-third of the materials was especially suitable for her, still in the newbie and pioneering phase.

“Fast, efficient, and economical”—at this stage, material saving was particularly important for her.

Having grasped these principles, Kamiyu began crafting.

Minor Health Potions were the most abundant potions in the Trading Post space, with a staggering 1,000 bottles available.

Well, she would give them a little Construction Sage shock—she’d craft 2,000 bottles first.

With 1,800 to 1,900 players currently grinding in the wild or Instance Dungeons, 2,000 bottles might not even be enough.

Kamiyu opened the Crafting Panel:

【Craft: Minor Health Potion; Quantity: 2000; Required Materials: Angel’s Breath 2000 (33% discount)】

A flash of blue-white light passed, and the sound of a cash register “dinging” echoed in her mind.

In her Storage space, she saw a neat, orderly row of 2,000 potions, which lifted her spirits immensely.

“Phew, what a satisfying feeling.”

Including the dropped items from earlier mob grinding and the spoils of war from killing 10 Official Players, she now had a total of 2,123 Minor Health Potions.

Kamiyu wasn’t in a hurry to list them for sale and continued crafting potions.

Onward, onward.

Besides Health Restoration Potions, other potions were also quite useful.

Kamiyu noticed that Resistance Potions were being sold in the Trading Post space, and their prices were quite steep.

Aberrant Beast Demons had five attributes: ice, fire, poison, electricity, and dark.

Using Resistance Potions could neutralize the damage from these attributes.

For example, when facing a poison-attribute Dungeon Boss, drinking an Anti-Poison Potion beforehand would convert the attribute damage into normal damage, which ordinary Armor could withstand.

Kamiyu didn’t hesitate and went all out.

【Craft: Anti-Ice Potion; Quantity: 100; Required Materials: Strangler Vine 100 (33% discount)】

【Craft: Anti-Fire Potion; Quantity: 100; Required Materials: Red Corrosion Grass 100 (33% discount)】

【Craft: Anti-Poison Potion; Quantity: 100; Required Materials: Poison-Resistant Vine 100 (33% discount)】

【Craft: Anti-Electricity Potion; Quantity: 100; Required Materials: Radaman Grass 100 (33% discount)】

【Craft: Anti-Dark Potion; Quantity: 100; Required Materials: Withered Shadow Grass 100 (33% discount)】

These Resistance Potions each provide a 20% increase in resistance for 10 minutes.

Finally, the Mind-Steadying Potion can suppress the negative effects of Crimson Earth on Players and calm one’s mind, making it extremely useful for herself.

This required using a recipe with triple the attributes, extending the duration from the original 10 minutes to 30 minutes.

【Craft: Mind-Steadying Potion (Effect duration increased by 20 minutes); Quantity: 20; Required Materials: Howling Moss 200】

Kamiyu recounted the totals: 2,123 Minor Health Potions, 500 Resistance Potions of five types, and 200 Mind-Steadying Potions.

She decided to sell the first two categories. With the Invincibility Skill from Ancestral Spirit’s Blessing, she wasn’t afraid of attribute Monsters. Even after being drenched in poison from head to toe before, she remained completely unharmed—what did she have to fear?

She thought to herself that these items could be exchanged for a large amount of materials to build the Sanctuary.

After finishing the crafting, she headed to the stall at the central fountain in the city to discuss a partnership with the stall owner.
