SECOND DEALER

It's had been one week since Alex had found his future Everwinter headquarters. Everyday he would give Nyana 30 mana and 10 health potions. Making him 180 gold daily since Nyana got paid 20. After 7 days he had 1,367 gold, plenty to buy the house which only cost 300 gold. Everyday he would wake up and make 72 mana and 30 health potions, manually. After the second day he had to buy more vials, spending 50 credits for 1000 vials. The system had given him his reward for finishing the potions quest meaning he was left with 217 credits. He had used his 3rd greenhouse to start growing speed plants 3 days ago, they would be ready to harvest this morning.

The speed plants are 2 feet tall. They have 3 dozen stems, with a flower coming off each stem. Each flower has 3 green petals, only allowing him to safely pick one per flower. That means he get 36 petals per plant, he has 7 plants, so 252 petals total. It costs 3 petals per potion, allowing him to make 84 potions daily. He had already learned the speed recipe he got from the last quest.

3 speed petals boiled at 105° in 10 ounces of water for 15 minutes. Remove petals when finished.

So for 84 potions he would need 840 ounces of water. Luckily he could do them all at ounce. Alex started working on the potions, and within a hour he completed, 72 mana, 30 health and 84 speed. Today he would give Nyana her first major batch. Having 48 mana and 20 health potions left over after giving Nyana what she needed to sell, allowed him to stockpile. He currently has 522 mana pots, 176 health pots, and 84 speed pots which he made today. He had recently started calling them pots…because it's easier. After today he only had 202 vials, he would need to buy more soon. He planned to give Nyana 60 Mana 30 Health and 50 Speed pots to sell today. And since they had a new product she could seek out previous customers. He planned to sell the speed pots at 7.5 gold per pots as well. Inspecting one this is what he saw.

This was amazing. His mana potions can only be used by those with magic. His health potions are usually bought by adventurer parties. However the speed potions can be used by pretty much everyone. Your a blacksmith and want to hammer faster? Drink a serving of speed. Oh you're a swordsman with no man and want to be faster? Drink some speed. Or maybe you are a magic user, but since you have a mana potion which regens mana faster, maybe you want something that also lets you cast fast. Drink some speed.

He was grinning now. Luckily he has his hood up while walking through the town. Recently Nyana had rented out a room at the inn. By renting for a full month she got a reduced price, instead of 50 silver daily or 15 gold a month, she gets it for 35 silver daily or 10 gold 50 silver a month. He quickly entered the inn and went straight to her room. As always she was already awake with her cloak on, waiting for him.

"Today you will have a large batch, and will be introducing a new product. You can go to our previous customers and offer to sell to them. It might make your job easier. It's called a speed potion, it's the green one, it's sold for 7 gold 50 silver each." He told her, before also telling her what it does. She then took the bag with 140 potions, she had expanded the internal space of the bag after the second day of selling. Now it could fit hundreds, maybe thousands, of potions inside. She left with a spring in her step. He couldn't blame her, if she sold all those potions then she'd make 82 gold and 50 silver while he'd make another 742.5 gold.

Soon evening cam and Alex met with Nyana again in her room. She handed him a pouch with 825 gold, he was surprised she sold it all in a single day. He gave her the 82.5 gold before turning to leave.

"Wait boss." Nyana said. He turned to look at the Elf.

"I know someone else who'd be interested in this work. He's like a little brother to me, he barely surviving. So I figured he could work for you and it means you can sell more of your products." She said.

While it did mean he'd have to pay another person, it would be worth it doubling his daily income. He would have to watch them for a bit and make sure they weren't planning anything.

"I will speak with him. Where can I find him? And what's his name?" Alex asked.

"Um, actually he right outside the inn. His names Jason. And don't worry I didn't tell him anything, other then there's a possible job opportunity. One thing you should know is he's also a corrupted like me." She told him. Corrupted, it's the name the church gave to those who use void magic.

"Very well go get him." Alex said while sighing.

She left and soon returned with a young man wearing a cloak. He lowered it as he entered. The man had the same grey hair as Nyana. He was human however. He wasn't bulky but definitely wasn't thin either. He had muscle but you could tell he hadn't eaten well until recently, Nyana must be paying to feed him.

"Jason. You want a job yes?" Alex asked. The man nodded.

"And what has Nyana told you so far?"

"She didn't tell me anything. Only that the same person she's working for might be willing to offer me a job. And that she's getting payed very well." Jason said. "I don't care what you need me to do. Fighting people, stealing, hell even killing. As long as I get paid for it then I'll take the job."

Alex smiled under his hood. He could see a fire in this man's eyes. He wanted wealth and power, even more then Nyana did. He would use him as a dealer, and if need be a soldier. Spending 25 gold Alex added the green reaper emblem onto the extra Cloak of Shadows in his inventory. Taking it out and handing it to the man.

"Very well. Nyana you will give him the run down of every thing. Tomorrow you will start." Alex said before quickly leaving. Tomorrow after giving the two the products for the day, he would buy that house and start setting it up as his headquarters.
