Chapter 35: What is the Most Precious Thing in the World Today?

But Chen Shu had a backup plan. He gathered the crowd and whispered something to them.

After a moment, everyone had a hesitant expression and voiced their concerns.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"I agree, it damages our image."

"I, Wang Tianba, have always been upright and honest. I won't do such a thing!!! Unless you can offer more money."

"..." Chen Shu was speechless. "Two hundred each."

As soon as he said that, the crowd trembled, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and instantly entered a heightened state.

"I'm taking all these potions. Whoever dares to snatch them will face my wrath!"

"Darn it, someone in the black market dares to challenge Wang Batian?"

The crowd boasted and the atmosphere escalated rapidly.

Soon, some people started throwing punches.

Dozens of people clashed, creating a chaotic scene.

Such a commotion naturally attracted more onlookers.

"Why are they suddenly fighting?"

The crowd of spectators grew larger and larger. One of human instincts is to enjoy watching a spectacle.

Chen Shu didn't expect this group of people to be so committed. Although they were swindlers, their professionalism was commendable.

"Someone needs to stop them from fighting. Don't let them continue. Everyone will have a share of the eight thousand yuan worth of mid-grade Vigor Potions!"

Chen Shu appeared to be mediating the fight, but he was actually promoting his potions, emphasizing the phrase "eight thousand yuan."

The crowd of onlookers rushed forward and separated the fighters.

Among them, Wang Tianba had a face covered in bloodstains and a pitiful appearance. He struggled to crawl towards Chen Shu and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn, do you have to go this far?"

Chen Shu instinctively took a strategic step back, looking at Wang Tianba in shock, and faintly smelled the scent of tomato sauce.

"Give me... a bottle of the genuine mid-grade Vigor Potion for eight thousand yuan..."

With that, Wang Tianba tilted his head and fainted directly.

"What a talent..."

Chen Shu twitched at the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Are you alright? Are you alright?" Others rushed forward and helped Wang Tianba up.

Just then, Wang Tianba's body suddenly convulsed, and in a confused manner, he said,

"Quick... give me the mid-grade Vigor Potion..."

"... " Chen Shu was speechless. Even he felt that it was a bit too overacted.

With a signal from him, over a dozen stooges forcefully dragged Wang Tianba away.

"Xiao Chen, I told you before, you can't sell the mid-grade Vigor Potion for eight thousand. You're disrupting the market!"

Wang Baguo, the stall owner, walked over, wearing a face of caution.

"The mid-grade Vigor Potion only sells for eight thousand??"

At this moment, the crowd finally reacted and looked towards the yellow potions on Chen Shu's stall.

According to market prices, mid-grade Vigor Potions were selling for around ten thousand, and in the black market, they reached twelve thousand.

"Is it fake?" A university student walked over, his eyes filled with doubt.

Chen Shu assessed the person and guessed, "You're a student from Nanjiang University?"

"Yeah, are you too?" Luo Yu asked.

Chen Shu's appearance seemed no different from a university student, so naturally, Luo Yu mistook him for a fellow alumnus.

Chen Shu shook his head, "Do you have your student ID? If you want to make a purchase, you can try it first."

Chen Shu still had some trust in the integrity of university students. If the person intentionally lied, he would naturally deal with them through their university.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yu took out his student ID.

"Nanjiang University, Class 2 of the Battle Department, Luo Yong."

Chen Shu nodded and returned the student ID to him.

Then he opened a bottle of potion and handed it to Luo Yu proactively.

Luo Yu's heart stirred, and he summoned his contracted spirit. As long as summoning the contracted spirit didn't harm the city or injure anyone, it was allowed by law for a short period of time.

A blue-colored flying insect measuring half a meter appeared. Its wings were transparent, giving it a graceful appearance.

"A D-grade Blue Winged Bug?"

Luo Yu took the Vigor Potion and had his contracted spirit consume a small portion.

After a moment, excitement filled his expression, and he nodded.

"It's a genuine mid-grade Vigor Potion!"

For a moment, the crowd became extremely excited, trusting Luo Yu's words without any doubts.

A beast tamer university student held a certain degree of credibility in society.

"Selling for only eight thousand! Don't miss out! Personally endorsed by a student from Nanjiang University!"

Chen Shu shouted loudly.

As long as they could prove it was genuine, the mid-grade Vigor Potion for eight thousand yuan was definitely worth it.

Soon, all of Chen Shu's potions were sold out, and even the remaining low-grade Vigor Potions were sold.

He ended up earning over three hundred thousand Huaxia coins, luckily he had obtained a bank card beforehand.

Luo Yu played a significant role in this. Chen Shu deliberately sold three bottles to him at a price of seven thousand each.

"This is seriously a money-making venture."

Old Wang stood by, dumbfounded, thinking that he wouldn't be able to earn this much in a year of setting up a stall in the black market.

"Wang Baguo, your reward."

Chen Shu took out five hundred Huaxia coins and closed his stall.

Old Wang had a speechless expression as he looked at the five hundred yuan in his hand, feeling that it didn't have much value.

At the same time, Chen Shu found the group of stooges from before. They were instrumental in quickly selling out the potions, and their contribution was invaluable.

Being generous with his wealth, Chen Shu directly gave each of them three hundred yuan as their acting fee, and he gave Wang Tianba an extra seven hundred yuan.

"No need, I used tomato sauce. It's not a real injury."

Wang Tianba declined, while the others only received three hundred yuan, he felt a bit embarrassed taking a thousand.

But Chen Shu insisted on giving it to him and also added him as a super contact.

What is most valuable in today's world? Of course, it's talent!

Being able to carry tomato sauce with him alone is worthy of admiration for his dedication.

Chen Shu hurriedly left the black market and it was already nine o'clock. He bought some barbecue on the way and happily returned home.

The next day, Chen Shu arrived early at Zhou Xiaoming's material shop and purchased five portions of the Giant Growth Fruits.

These were the main ingredients for crafting Size Potion, and he also bought the remaining medicinal materials.

Unlike the Vigor Flower, Size Potions were no longer divided into low, mid, and high grades. They were referred to as Basic, Black Iron, and Silver tiers, designed for three different levels of contracted spirits.

The price of Giant Growth Fruits was significantly higher than that of Vigor Flowers, with a market price of thirty thousand per unit.

Chen Shu spent a total of one hundred and eighty thousand to buy the five portions of Giant Growth Fruits from Zhou Xiaoming's shop.

In short, Chen Shu spent one hundred and eighty thousand for them.

As soon as Chen Shu acquired the Giant Growth Fruits, he couldn't wait to return home and craft twenty bottles of Size Potion in one go.

Due to not having mastery at the control level, there were no additional yields.

But having twenty bottles of Size Potion was extremely rare. Most shops didn't have such large inventory. In terms of value alone, each bottle was worth approximately thirty thousand.

He had no intention of selling them; naturally, his priority was to cultivate his Golden Slime.

With the assistance of various rewards and infusions from the system, an F-grade contracted spirit could still become the strongest creature.

Chen Shu had already started imagining the scene of the Golden Slime sitting on a dragon and squashing it to death in a perverse manner.
