The mage arrives

021 Happy life beckons

() "These potions..." Douluo swallowed, his voice trembling, "Hey, let me say, partner, you have been studying alchemy for the past few days, and then you made these magic potions?"

He believed more and more that it was the most correct choice for him to use 20% of the store's income to attract Gao Deng to join the team.How many days is this?Fifteen, or [-] days?When Gordon walks into the store with the first Hero Ring he's crafted, he thinks he's spotted a new enchanter with a whimsical vision.But the gods of the Star Realm Kingdom, why did Gordon, who did not show the slightest talent as an alchemist, concoct such a large amount of magic potions in such a short period of time?

Gordon ignored the huge waves in Douluo's heart, and his words made the fat middle-aged shopkeeper almost suffocate: "I want to correct you, the time it takes to make these magic potions is not a few days, but a day."

"That is to say, you can make twenty magic potions for the store a day?" Douro gasped.His heart raced, and countless guesses appeared in an instant.

Gordon was taken as a student by which reclusive legendary mage?

Gordon found the secret treasure left by the family?

Gordon had the grace of some god?

Although there are countless possibilities, Douluo still can't determine the reason why Gao Gao, a down-and-out mage who used to struggle to buy a gold coin for casting materials, has such a radical change.

Fortunately, Douro understands that it is not a good habit to get to the bottom of it. This can easily damage the relationship between the two parties, and it is more likely to cause trouble for himself.The shock and doubt in his eyes dissipated, and Du Luo pretended to be nothing, stroked his bushy beard, and said, "I'll immediately clear out the most conspicuous shelves, and then put these magic potions on them."

Just do it.The Actionist Duro ordered the two men to classify the twenty medicines and place them neatly on the shelves, then took out a pen and wrote the names of the medicines on the blank labels.

"By the way, how should we set the price?" Duro asked a very critical question, "Should we lower the price first to attract customers?"

Regarding this issue, Gordon has long thought about it: "It is natural to lower the price. We have just started selling magic potions, and we are not as good as those old-fashioned stores with repeat customers. Only by lowering the price can we attract popularity at the beginning."

"Then, how much should it be lowered?" Douluo wrung his fingers and calculated for a while.Perhaps because he has dealt with Gordon many times, he seems to have learned a little about data analysis: "The 'Hand of Oglo' across the street employs a total of six second-level mages and two third-level mages to produce Magic Potion. The daily output is two bottles of second-level magic potion and sixteen bottles of first-level magic potion. Excluding the cost of raw materials and labor costs, the "Hand of Oglo" will price the first-level magic potion at 5 gold coins, and the second-level magic potion Only when the price is 10 gold coins can it be more profitable."

"As for our store, thanks to you, Gordon." Douro smiled, causing the fat on his waist to tremble slightly, "Although we have no advantage in material costs compared with other stores, we can save a lot in labor costs. My lovely partner, you can beat an ordinary mage by yourself. So we set the price of the first-level magic potion at 3 gold coins, and the price of the second-level magic potion at 6 gold coins, which also has a large profit margin !"

But Gordon immediately poured cold water on Duro: "The price is too low. Doing so will only disrupt the market and make it impossible for other people to do business. Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. I don't think you will Offended all the shopkeepers on this street? Appropriate price cuts to maintain a competitive advantage without causing dissatisfaction from others is the ideal state."

After some discussion, the two decided to set the price of the first-level magic potion at 4 gold coins and 90 silver coins, while the selling price of the second-level magic potion was 9 gold coins and 80 silver coins.

Once the price is determined, everything is settled.Gordon sat quietly in a corner with a book in his hand, and began to read.

When the daylight hourglass turned upside down, indicating that the time had come to nine o'clock in the morning, today's first guest finally appeared in "Duro's Treasure Chest".

This is a middle-aged man with a mustache, wearing chain mail and a long sword on his waist.Judging from his clothes and demeanor, he should be the leader of a small mercenary group.

It is natural that Gordon does not need to come forward to greet guests, and Duro greeted him with a smile on his face: "Is there anything I can do for you, respected guest?"

"I'm the head of the Sword of Blackcastle mercenary group. I recently received a mission to venture into the Cold Mist Mountains, so I'm here to purchase some supplies." The middle-aged man smiled.He seemed to be in a good mood. Obviously, the reward for that mission was very generous, which made him look forward to the future.

The head of the mercenary glanced at the magic potion placed in the most conspicuous position on the shelf. He looked at the price and wondered: "The first level is 4 gold coins and 90 silver coins, the second level is 9 gold coins and 80 silver coins... Why do you use magic potions here? Is it cheaper than other stores?"

"We have just started the business of magic medicine, so we have some discounts for customers." Du Luo explained.

"So that's the case." The mercenary leader nodded, "I want two bottles of invisibility potion, one bottle of angel eye potion... Well, I also need to prepare a bottle of jumping potion for the warlocks in the regiment."

The task his mercenary group received this time was unusual, and he had to be fully prepared, so he bought four bottles of magic potions in one go.Ordinary mercenaries usually earn only a few dozen silver coins per mission on average, so it is impossible to use such a luxury as magic potions.

Next, the mercenary captain bought some spellcasting materials and various adventure supplies for the team's casters in the store, including whetstones, trap parts, tarps, ropes, lighting tools, water bags, and so on.These miscellaneous things don't look like the profit per piece is very low, but the advantage is that the quantity is large, and it can also bring a lot of profit to the store.

Not long after the head of the sword mercenaries of the Black Castle left, the store ushered in a second customer.For the budget-conscious mercenaries, the magic potions in the shop, which were ten silver coins cheaper than the market price, were obviously very attractive.This time, Douro made another deal for two magic potions.

In less than two hours, all twenty magic potions on the shelves were sold out.In the group of mercenaries and adventurers, the speed of information dissemination is extremely fast.In just one morning, the news that cheap magic potions were sold in "Duro's Treasure Chest" was known to many people.

"Bastard! I curse the troll on the snow mountain!" A tall and strong barbarian came a step late, and when he ran to the "Duro's Treasure Chest" panting, all the magic potions had already been sold out.

"I'm sorry, this strong warrior, please come back tomorrow." Douro apologized slightly.

"I can't help it," the barbarian muttered. "It seems that I can only go to the hand of Ogoro."

The Savage shook his head and left.Gordon said to Douro: "It seems that the sales of the magic potion are good, so I'll leave it to you in the afternoon."

"A mage's time is always more valuable than others!" Douro pretended to complain with a smile, "Don't worry, I will bring you the ledger and today's income tonight."

The store was going well, and Gordon was in a good mood.He returned home, released Hodor and Al from the ring, and then ordered the two wind spirits to start their respective jobs: preparing potions and drawing the rune pattern of the Xiongfeng Ring.

After working all night and staying in the "Duro's Treasure Chest" for a morning, Gordon was tired as soon as he lay down on the bed.When he opened his eyes again, it was already afternoon.

Since he didn't eat lunch, Gordon's stomach felt like it was on fire due to hunger. He touched his belly and said to himself, "Go out and eat something. It would be great if my sister Xiona was at home." , Her cooking skills are really good."

Just as he was thinking, Douluo appeared by chance.The chubby shopkeeper held a yellow leather ledger in one hand and a bag exuding a tempting aroma in the other.

"Hey, partner, are you interested in sharing Chengnan Old Brown's honey salted wolf meat with me?"

Gordon, who was hungry, would naturally not refuse the delicious food delivered to his door.He took Duro to a restaurant that he hadn't used for a long time.

"I swear by my warhammer, this is the worst noble restaurant I've ever seen!" Douro exclaimed exaggeratedly, looking at the dusty dining table that seemed to have been left unattended for a long time.Now that the two got to know each other well, Douro no longer shy away from talking about the financial situation of the Gordon family.

"You know," Gordon spread his hands helplessly, "not long ago, I was a down and out mage who was so worried about two or three gold coins."

"That was in the past. You are a rich man now, you can't lose the dignity of a nobleman. I think you should hire a few servants, and then repair this house." Douluo chuckled, "We Eat and talk, today's account book will shock you."

"Oh?" Gordon became interested.

Duro hastily cleaned the dining table, and then put the food on the table.For Gordon, who was hungry, the fragrant pork steak brought by Douro was just right.The wolf meat was delicious, chewy and chewy, and there was a hint of sweetness in the delicious gravy, which made Gordon unable to stop his mouth.Due to taking care of Gordon's habits, Du Luo only brought a bottle of freshly squeezed blue berry juice to accompany his meal.However, the refreshing fruit juice paired with the mellow steak was a match made in heaven, and this dinner made Gordon very happy.

"Hi~ Thank Goddess Wojin for giving me wealth and allowing me to enjoy delicious food!" After drinking and eating, Duro finally took out Gordon's long-awaited account book.

"Today, the store earned a total of 311 gold coins. After deducting the cost, the net profit is 120 gold coins. Among them, the profit of magic potions is 70 gold coins, various spell-casting materials and alchemy materials are 10 gold coins, enchanting items are 26 gold coins, and adventure materials are 14 gold coins. You can make the specific accounts yourself. Look, I don't have a photographic memory like you mages."

"So much?" Gordon asked in surprise.

"Of course, partner. You are the cash cow of 'Duro's Treasure Chest'! Don't underestimate yourself." Duro didn't drink, but he seemed to be drunk by the fascinating numbers on the ledger, "I recently heard that in the Cold Mist Mountains Some mysterious treasure has appeared, and the number of adventurers in Clearwater City has increased dramatically. Our good days are still to come!"

"Today's profit, I can get 48 gold coins. This is not counting the income from the Xiongfeng Ring. In this way, I can earn at least 1600 gold coins in [-] days a month. If the business is good, this number will continue to rise. Debt There are still more than two months until the expiration date, so it seems that if there are no accidents, this house should be able to be kept."

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy debt pressure that had weighed on his heart since time travel can finally be relieved.

"It seems that the hard work during this time has not been in vain, and a happy life in another world is already waving to me."
