Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 113 Let You See Something (Third Update)

"Sir, this white atractylodes, cloves..." Jiang Yuan was stunned when he saw the real thing and asked after a while, "They are all artificially cultivated, right?"

The person responsible for collecting dicine at the pharmacy was an elderly man in his sixties with glasses. Upon hearing, he looked down at Jiang Yuan from above his glasses and laughed, "How fresh! Young man, you wouldn’t expect to find wild dicinal herbs in this little shop, would you? Even if you go to the herbal dicine market, you won’t find truly wild good stuff!"

Although he knows nothing about traditional Chinese dicine, since mastering the Incense Chart Skills, he has acquired the ability to instantly assess the quality of the raw materials used for incense making.

The herbs displayed in front of him looked decent, but the dicinal properties within them were far from adequate. Using them to make dicinal Incense would yield inferior results.

"Alas..." Jiang Yuan sighed, "These herbs aren’t effective enough. Sorry to bother you."

The old man raised his eyebrows as if he had found a kindred spirit, "Isn’t that so! Didn’t expect soone young like you to be an expert! Alas, they all say traditional dicine doesn’t work, that old recipes don’t work anymore..."

He pointed with his finger fiercely at the herbs on the table, "They’re all forced to mature, without the weathered sedintation by wind and rain, how can they have potent dicinal properties! It’s not that traditional dicine is useless, it’s because there’s no good wild dicine anymore.

What I sell here may not have strong dicinal properties, but at least it’s genuine. In the market, you’ll find fakes and adulterated goods, sulfur fumigation, chemical soaking—forget about curing diseases, surviving consuming these is sheer luck!"

Jiang Yuan was very disappointed. He thought he could easily purchase loads of herbs for incense making in the real world, only to encounter difficulties right from the start.

Without raw materials with sufficient dicinal properties, no matter how high his incense making skills are, the efficacy can’t match up. How could he make a na and sell at a high price?

Seeing him distressed, the old man, who loves chatting and is warm-hearted, gave him a hint, "There are only two ways to get good herbs, either go find them deep into the mountains and forests yourself, or buy from dicine Gatherers."

"dicine Gatherers?" Jiang Yuan hurriedly asked, "Are they specialized in collecting wild herbs?"

The old man sighed, "Yes, the young people today don’t know this anymore. dicine Gathering is a profession that has been around for thousands of years, specializing in venturing into mountains to collect wild herbs. They can also take orders to collect specific herbs, but the price will definitely be much higher."

He suddenly saw hope and looked delighted, "Sir, do you have the contact information of any dicine Gatherers?"

"No," the elder adjusted his glasses and replied briskly, "How would I know them? I only heard of this profession when learning to collect herbs from my master in my youth, haven’t heard about it in recent years. Tis have changed too fast, many traditional things can’t survive and are lost..."

Jiang Yuan thanked the old man, lanting the changes of the world, and left the pharmacy, looking at the limited stock in his storage box.

In the Wilderness World, during the day he could gather mushrooms as well as ordinary herbs, but during the dayti he had to farm, chop wood, mine, and squeeze in ti to complete tasks. Where would he have enough ti to wander around gathering?

Therefore, finding these wild herbs that are common in the real world beca rare.

"I’ll first use the stock to try making so Sleeping Incense and see the effect, then tackle it from both ends!" Jiang Yuan made up his mind. If the Sleeping Incense proves effective and sells well, he’d ask Chuci for help in finding dicine Gatherer contacts, if that doesn’t work, he’d have to personally venture into the mountains, at least making a show to raise the status of the Incense Stick.

Additionally, Bai Yunqi is currently the highest-level contract pet he has encountered, might as well take Wan Mingchuan along to gather mushrooms and herbs during dayti!

"I wonder how Tian Changgui’s herbal field harvest is, if only I could clear a herbal field too..." Returning ho, he folded paper till exhausted, then made incense, busy all morning, by afternoon out-of-town clients started receiving and paying for their goods one after another.

By evening, the accountant called to inform him all paynts were processed.

According to the plan, Jiang Yuan instructed the accountant to transfer the proceeds to a company pre-arranged for invoice generation, letting the money circulate back to his card—the amount slightly reduced—but all the necessary taxes were paid, books are clear and compliant legally.

The remainder, as company profits, after subtracting packaging and design costs, he’d distribute to Yang Hongye at the end of the month.

The greatest advantage of the real world is the sense of security; as long as you don’t engage in murder or arson, doing shaful things, having money and leisure, life can be exceptionally satisfying and joyful. From waking in the morning to closing his eyes at night, he feels free and relaxed both inside and out.

It’s different in the Wilderness World.

With sufficient food to replenish the mana bar, he wouldn’t feel tired or sleepy. Except for the rainy day where he slept in a thatched hut, he hasn’t closed his eyes once in the wilderness. Day or night, as long as he doesn’t stop forcibly, various tasks fill his ti incessantly.

Not only can’t he rest, but there’s always a tense string in his mind. The Wilderness World is too dangerous, lacking the security without high enough strength, easily making him ntally exhausted.

After this relaxation, back in the real world, Jiang Yuan barely noticed the days slipping away.

This noon, Chuci, who was burning incense and praying everywhere, returned and hosted a banquet at the Moon Viewing Pavilion.

Seeing the location ssage from the other party, Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but click his tongue, indeed a second-generation rich, inviting at the legendary Moon Viewing Pavilion where people spend four thousand yuan per al on average. He himself had never set foot in such a high-end restaurant.

He took a taxi on schedule, and as soon as he entered, his eyes brightened!

In a place where every inch is worth gold, the vast restaurant’s first floor had only a few platforms built on water, the rest were all luxuriously decorated with gold. Even the stairs were shimring; it was hard to discern whether it was water or lighting effects beneath, truly a dazzling sight.

Entering the private room, from the entrance, tearoom, eting room to the innermost dining area—all aside, the privacy was really comndable.

"I originally wanted to invite a few more people to get acquainted, but sothing ca up last minute, so I changed my mind." Chuci stood up greeting with a smile, "Don’t mind the big place, it’s just us today, so feel free to order whatever you want!"

Looking in the direction Chuci pointed, Jiang Yuan exclaid, wow! There was actually a kitchen over there!

This was truly his first ti witnessing a high-end restaurant equipped with its own kitchen, specializing in frying and sautéing Chinese dishes, with the outside island counters preparing Western cuisine, even allowing guests to watch the entire cooking process beside.

Two chefs, four waiters, six uniford staff waiting on just the two of them.

This was the lifestyle of the wealthy!

Jiang Yuan sighed inwardly, no wonder a al easily costs tens of thousands, surely the salaries for these exclusively hired fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged waitresses are not low.

"I don’t know what to eat either, since it’s just us, you arrange it," flipping through the upscale nu, just looking at the prices made him shiver.

It’s said newly rich easily get frivolous, Jiang Yuan felt he wasn’t qualified to be and wouldn’t float up.

Yang Hongye was right, earning tens of thousands wasn’t considered rich. Having a six-figure sum in his card currently was the most affluent he’s ever been, still feeling spending such money on a dish irrational.

"Then I’ll handle it," Chuci confird there were no dietary restrictions, swiftly ordered several dishes and had the waiter open the bottle of wine he brought along.

After the staff busily attended them, Chuci shifted his chair closer, lowered his voice saying, "Let show you sothing!"

Jiang Yuan, seeing him acting secretively, was baffled, only to see Chuci roll up his left sleeve revealing a string of Buddhist Beads, leaving him stunned, "Where did you get this?"
