Chapter 16

Before this, Wenlong had already carefully calculated that the four large wild boars they hunted this time would provide enough materials to craft a low-level set of equipment for Catherine, and the leftover scraps would be enough to craft a set of equipment for himself, specifically for his Ailu cat.

However, if this were the case, not only would all the materials obtained from this hunt be used up, but it would also spend all the money earned from completing the task. Without money, the supplies needed for the next hunt could not be replenished.

Although Wenlong believed that with his current strength, he could thrive in a low-level hunting ground like the Valley of Dawn even without any equipment, from a time perspective, this would affect the efficiency of the next hunt, conflicting with his goal of quickly training Catherine to become an excellent hunter.

The experienced Wenlong, of course, would not allow such a thing to happen. As a veteran player of the Monster Hunter series, Wenlong had already made plans from the beginning.

"As an experienced hunter, the materials obtained are not just from the hunted prey; learning how to gather and mix is also an important way to earn money! Meow!"

"Gather and mix?" Catherine was somewhat puzzled by what Wenlong said.

"Hmph, woman, watch carefully, this is how an excellent hunter makes money. Meow!"

Saying this, Wenlong jumped onto the table where the dishes had not yet been served and shouted loudly.

"Attention, hunters, take a look! Here are high-quality Healing Potions G, your best companions for hunting and battling monsters, absolutely not to be missed! Meow!"

In the noisy tavern, Wenlong's voice was not particularly loud, but almost everyone was attracted by his voice and turned their gaze to him.

After all, many people in the tavern were hunters who had hunted in the forest during the day and came to relax and have fun in the evening. Healing Potions G, as a higher-level healing potion, was twice as effective as the regular Healing Potions sold in the village's general store! It was a much-needed potion for many hunters, so when they heard Wenlong's call, quite a few people turned their attention to him.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, people saw Wenlong take out five glass bottles filled with green liquid from his bag and place them in a row on the table.

"Is it a Healing Potion G? Is it really a Healing Potion G?" someone asked, full of doubt.

"Impossible, the village's general store only sells regular herbs, and occasionally the Barroth Guild's traders come to the village with a few bottled Healing Potions, which are slightly better than herbs. Is there really someone in the village who can concoct a Healing Potion G that is twice as effective as a regular Healing Potion?" someone found it hard to believe.

"Look at the Ailu cat's owner, he seems to be wearing equipment we've never seen before. Perhaps he is a high-level hunter, in which case it's not surprising that he has the money to buy the better formula for Healing Potion G and concoct it...," someone else analyzed Catherine's equipment and guessed that the Healing Potion G was likely genuine.

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, and soon a group of people gathered around.

"Of course, it's a real Healing Potion G! Meow!" Wenlong said firmly, waving his hand to signal the hunters to quiet down. After all, with a noisy crowd, it would be hard to hear what he was saying.

When the crowd quieted down a bit, Wenlong continued, "Everyone, please be quiet. I know you might not believe that the potion in my hand is a real Healing Potion G, but that's fine. I can open the bottle now and let you verify whether the potion is real or not! Meow!"

Wenlong then opened one of the glass bottles. Inside, the green liquid flowed, and faint golden droplets could be seen mixed in, emitting an enticing aroma.

At this moment, the entire crowd fell silent, all eyes fixed on the opened Healing Potion G. After a while, an old hunter with slightly gray hair and beard spoke up.

"This is a Healing Potion G, I know this! Last time, I bought a bottle from a hunter from Melya Port, and it looked just like this!"

Hearing the old hunter from Mirard Village confirm this, the crowd immediately burst into exclamations. After all, everyone was a hunter from the village, familiar with each other. Although the old hunter was not a hunting expert, everyone knew he was honest and would not lie for a newcomer who had just arrived in the village.

And all of this was part of Wenlong's plan.

"Hmph, just as I thought, Mirard is a remote small village, and most of the hunters here are newbies. Not many have actually seen a Healing Potion G, so selling the Healing Potion G I concocted here would definitely be a big profit... Meow!"

In the past, when playing the game, Wenlong often concocted this Healing Potion G.

However, concocting potions was not something that could be done from the start. Besides needing the materials required for the potion, one also needed the detailed recipe for concocting it! The simplest way to obtain the recipe for Healing Potion G was to spend some silver coins to buy a scroll from an NPC that recorded the recipe!

In the game, Wenlong was once a top-level player, and the small amount of silver coins needed to buy the potion recipe was insignificant to him. However, the current Wenlong was different. As a newly contracted Ailu cat partner, he had no savings and was virtually penniless, so he could not afford to buy any recipes.

Fortunately, Wenlong had already memorized the recipe content from his gaming days. Now, having crossed over to this world, Wenlong tried to synthesize the materials according to the detailed process recorded in the recipe, and indeed concocted a Healing Potion G that could heal a large amount of health!

"Amazing! Mr. Cat, when did you concoct so many Healing Potions G?" Not only the diners at the Silver Dragon Inn, but even Catherine stared with wide eyes. After all, Catherine had been with Wenlong the whole way, yet she had no idea when Wenlong had concocted the potions.

"Stupid woman, while you were carrying that big bundle back, I had already prepared everything! Meow!" Wenlong explained proudly.

It turned out that while Catherine was carrying the spoils of the hunt back to the village, Wenlong followed behind her, gathering the materials needed for the Healing Potion G according to the recipe.

After all, no matter how strong Catherine was, she could not move very fast while carrying the materials from the four large wild boars, her heavy greatsword, and the complete Kirin set she was wearing. In contrast, Wenlong was almost unburdened, running swiftly. Additionally, the materials needed for the Healing Potion G were relatively easy to obtain and could be gathered along the roadside, so Wenlong had plenty of time to gather enough materials without falling behind.

"The materials needed for the Healing Potion G are herbs, blue mushrooms, and honey. This road is the main route for hunters from Mirard Village to the hunting grounds, and many used empty potion bottles are discarded along the way. Picking them up can be used to store the newly concocted Healing Potion G. Such resourcefulness, I must say, I am really smart! Meow!"
