Chapter 31

"Huailin, over here." Just as Li Huailin had run to the entrance of the dungeon, he heard someone calling him. Turning his head, he saw the guild leader Hongyue and the original group of people standing not far away. Of course, there was now one more person.

"This is Hongpiodai, our guild's main hunter." Hongyue knew that Li Huailin had never met Hongpiodai before, so she introduced her proactively.

Li Huailin sized her up and down. This girl named Hongpiodai was quite young, probably around the same age as Hongyan Heishui, with a good appearance, roughly between 80-90 points. However, she seemed a bit shy and didn't seem very talkative.

"I'm Xionghuailin, everyone calls me Huailin." Li Huailin said proactively.

"Um..." Hongpiodai nodded, then lowered her head and didn't react anymore.

"Eh?" Li Huailin was taken aback.

"Hehe, Huailin, don't mind it, Piodai isn't good at dealing with guys." The guild leader Hongyue explained with a bitter smile.

"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded, "Then I'll try to avoid teasing her in the future."

"Right, teasing our Xiaoyan is better." The second sister, Hongse Xueyin, who had become somewhat familiar with Li Huailin, started to join in the conversation.

"Second sister, you..." Hongchen Yanxu had been nervous ever since Li Huailin appeared, trying to move away but still got pulled in, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll log off!"

"Oh, oh, don't, Yanxu." Hongse Xueyin quickly hugged Hongchen Yanxu, "Look, he's here for you, aren't you moved at all?"

"It's... not like I called him." Hongchen Yanxu's voice grew smaller and smaller.

"Brother-in-law!" At this moment, Hongyan Heishui immediately pounced on Li Huailin, "Brother-in-law, you're here, that's great! It's better to run dungeons with you. Piodai is so clumsy, and so is my cousin, they always stand in the poison fog, I don't even know who to heal."

"You shouldn't talk about your cousin and friends like that, little girl." The guild leader Hongyue walked over and tapped Hongyan Heishui on the head.

"Um..." Hongyan Heishui covered her head, using her eyes to tell Li Huailin, "Brother-in-law, what I said is true."

"Right, Huailin, I heard from Shui'er that you have something to ask me?" Hongyue turned to Li Huailin and asked.

"Yes, I was just about to find you, and then I received a message from Heishui." Li Huailin nodded, "I have something to ask for your help. Does your guild have an alchemist?"

"An alchemist? Of course we do." Hongyue nodded. Alchemists were essential in almost every guild. Although the Red Women's Army guild was small, it still had the basic structure, "What's up?"

"Come, take a look at this first." Li Huailin immediately handed over two bottles of potions, one Advanced Life Spring Potion and one Super Life Spring Potion.

"Wow, what impressive potions!" Hongyue's eyes lit up, and she called out to Hongchen Yanxu, "Yanxu, come and take a look."

"Oh, what is it?" Hongchen Yanxu was also curious, walked over to take a look, and her eyes lit up, but she quickly frowned.

"Good potions, but they appeared too early. They don't have much use right now," Hongchen Yanxu immediately analyzed, "These potions heal based on a percentage of health, so the more health you have, the more effective they are. If someone has 10,000 health, they can heal 1,000 points per second. Even if the healing is interrupted after 2 seconds, they can still heal 2,000 points. But now, players generally have less than 1,000 health, so they only heal 70-80 points per second. It feels like a waste to drink them."

"Um, that makes sense." Li Huailin and Hongyue nodded simultaneously.

"However, in certain special situations, these potions are needed. For example, if there's a boss that targets the main tank with normal attacks but releases an AOE attack every 30 seconds, the pressure on the healers would be huge. They would have to check the health of all other players every 30 seconds. But if everyone has a bottle of this potion, the healer can focus on the main tank, and the others can drink the potion when they take damage, fully restoring their health." Hongyan Heishui added, "In this case, this potion can be a powerful tool for clearing dungeons. When facing a difficult boss, it could be very useful. I think this potion could sell for around 1 gold in the auction house now, and it might increase 20 times in a month, and 50 times in three months."

"How do you know so much?" Li Huailin looked at Hongchen Yanxu as if he was meeting her for the first time, amazed that she could think of so much just by looking at a bottle of potion.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me." Hongchen Yanxu frowned.

The nearby Hongyue smiled and explained, "Hongyue manages the guild's finances, and in real life, she is also an executive manager of a company. She is an expert in economics."

"Damn..." Li Huailin looked at Hongchen Yanxu in surprise, blurting out, "No wonder I touched such a smart woman..."

"Get lost!" Hongchen Yanxu's face immediately turned dark.

"You two are really..." Hongyue was at a loss, "Right, Huailin, why did you show me this potion?"

"Oh, it's like this. I have several dozen bottles of Advanced Life Spring Potion and 3 bottles of Super Life Spring Potion..." Li Huailin had already thought it through. Since these potions were so valuable now, it would be better to sell them and buy health potions. His current health was not high (without any buffs), and drinking health potions would be more cost-effective. He still had the recipes, so he wouldn't worry about not having the potions later.

"Oh, you have so many?" Hongchen Yanxu's eyes lit up, "If you have that many, the price might go up a bit. The dozen smaller bottles could sell for around 10 gold if a large guild is interested. The 3 Super Life Spring Potions, if sold together, could fetch around 5-6 gold."

"Besides, I also have the recipes for these potions..." Li Huailin continued.

"What?" Both Hongyue and Hongchen Yanxu were taken aback.

"Um, I have the recipes, the alchemy recipes." Li Huailin repeated, seeing their huge reactions.

"Are they exclusive recipes?" Hongchen Yanxu immediately asked.

"Um?" Li Huailin thought about what the old man had said, and it seemed he had indeed mentioned that only he knew how to make these potions, "I guess so, I got them from a hidden quest."

"Guild leader, we're going to get rich!" Hongchen Yanxu was extremely excited, "These potions are godly in the later stages. Gold isn't much of an issue now, but in the later stages, large guilds won't lack funds. I estimate each potion could sell for over 50 gold. This is a monopoly, and other guilds will have to respect us. If we don't sell to them, they'll suffer when clearing dungeons. And there's more..."

Hongchen Yanxu became more and more excited, spilling out a series of thoughts.

"Yes, yes, I know this will greatly benefit the guild's development." Hongyue quickly cooled down the overexcited Hongchen Yanxu, "But can you consider that the recipes are still in your little lover's hands, not in our guild's possession."

"Um!" Hongchen Yanxu was taken aback, then realized and immediately closed her mouth.

"Alright, Huailin, since you've told us such important information, you must want to cooperate with our guild, right?" Hongyue turned and asked.

"Yes, in fact, I want to hand over these recipes to your guild." Li Huailin immediately said.

"Really?" The nearby Hongchen Yanxu was happy for a moment, then her face turned dark, "You don't have any conditions, right?"

"Of course, I do." Li Huailin nodded.

"No way!" Hongchen Yanxu burst out in anger.

"Eh?" Li Huailin was taken aback, "I haven't even said what the conditions are, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Huailin, although I really want your recipes, I think emotional matters should be separated from business..." Hongyue also said earnestly.

"What does this have to do with emotions?" Li Huailin was puzzled, then he paused, realizing that these two women probably thought he was going to propose something like "make Hongchen Yanxu my girlfriend" or something similar.

"Damn..." Li Huailin felt a headache, "My condition is that after your guild learns these recipes, you have to give me a certain amount of these potions every month."

"That's it?" Hongchen Yanxu asked.

"What else could it be? Can you please not be so confident?" Li Huailin couldn't help but say.

"You!" Hongchen Yanxu frowned and was about to counter, but Hongyue immediately interrupted the two who were always ready to argue.

"Huailin, this deal is too good for our guild. You said you want to separate emotions from business. Our guild can sell the potions, use the money to buy materials, and then sell more. Even if we give you some every month, the biggest beneficiary will still be us." Hongyue said sincerely.

"To be honest, I won't learn alchemy. I don't have the time to practice, but I need a lot of these potions. I don't know how to cooperate, so I'll leave it to you, guild leader." Li Huailin said honestly.

"I think this is a good idea." The nearby Hongyan Heishui suddenly jumped in, "Brother-in-law, join our guild, and we can all benefit!"

"Um?" Li Huailin's heart skipped a beat, "Right, why didn't I think of that! Maybe I've been a bit absent-minded lately..."
