"Oxytocin? What kind of basic material-tier thing is that?" Li Zheng shook his head, "I have sothing better!"
Saying this, he took out a hundred milliliters of Interdiate Cultivation Liquid from the capsule and handed it to Kang'er, believing the other party could recognize what it was.
"Cultivation Liquid!"
Just as Li Zheng expected, Kang'er exclaid, "And it's Interdiate Cultivation Liquid! How is this possible? The factory producing Interdiate Cultivation Liquid was destroyed a few years ago, and even the Advanced Nutrient Liquid factory had to switch to producing oxytocin due to losing essential materials. How could you still have Interdiate Cultivation Liquid here?"
"Where it ca from is a comrcial secret." Li Zheng smiled amicably, "Make your choice, Kang'er! The fertilizing gland fluid or the low-price purchase right for Interdiate Cultivation Liquid?"
"You an... huff huff..." Kang'er's breath quickened, and the surrounding air suddenly beca much fresher. A few new shoots surprisingly sprouted on the aged body surface of the Vine Race, "You an, you want to sell Interdiate Cultivation Liquid to at a low price?"
"What else? Am I just ssing with you here for no reason?" Li Zheng's smile grew brighter as he suddenly found sothing even more valuable.
"How much?" Kang'er asked impatiently, "How much are you willing to sell it to for?"
If he could buy cultivation liquid without side effects, he could clear all the greenhouses and replace them with the most precious plants on the market.
By then, Kang'er would occupy over 50% of the high-end product market in the surrounding neighborhoods!
The profit in this was enough to make him ecstatic just thinking about it.
Li Zheng had thought of it as well, and even considered more than Kang'er did.
For instance, one of the materials for making Interdiate Cultivation Liquid is refined fertilizer, which requires various sundry things to fernt.
The most cost-effective of which is biological waste.
In the Outer City, other things might not be abundant, but the miscellaneous biological waste is absolutely pervasive!
As for oxytocin, despite its limited supply?
The market price is a bit steep, but as long as Lao Pu is given so ti, it's likely that analyzing the ingredient list wouldn't be a big problem.
The only challenge would be to produce oxytocin using the sa ingredients.
Or he could wait overnight to see if the Treasure Chest System would gift him a production blueprint for oxytocin?
Li Zheng hadn't expected that just by casually taking on a private task, he'd directly resolve his urgent needs and have a profitable opportunity delivered to his doorstep.
"You said it yourself, the Interdiate Cultivation Liquid factory was destroyed, so there's no Interdiate Cultivation Liquid on the market; the pricing definitely can't be arbitrary. I need to investigate the market first to give you an accurate price."
Li Zheng didn't make a decision on the spot, but still offered Kang'er so hope, "Rest assured, regardless of the final investigation results, I will sell it to you at seventy percent of that price."
"Seventy percent!" More new shoots appeared on Kang'er's body, "Deal!"
"Hold on, I haven't finished talking yet." Li Zheng wagged his finger, "Selling at seventy percent isn't without conditions. I need you to free up two greenhouses for as my personal dwelling and workspace.
In return, I can refrain from entering other markets for a certain period, making the Interdiate Cultivation Liquid exclusively available for your Botanical Garden to purchase!"
"No problem! Don't just say two greenhouses; I can spare three for you!" Kang'er was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that sending out a private task would bring in a supply of cultivation liquid that every Botanical Garden desired!
"Grandpa!" Basil pulled on Kang'er a few tis from behind, whispering, "Have you forgotten about that matter?"
"What?" Kang'er paused for a mont, then rembered sothing and walked a little distance with Basil to discuss.
Hu Er secretly perked up his ears, leaning close to Kota's head to whisper.
Before long, Kota reported to Li Zheng, "That little Vine Race guy really is sothing else, initially, his grandpa had already agreed. Yet he reminded the old man about the Property Rights Protection Act, wanting to push down your conditions."
"Property Rights Protection Act?" Li Zheng asked in surprise, "What's that about?"
"You just entered the Outer City, so there are a lot of things you're not aware of," Kota explained to Li Zheng, "The so-called Property Rights Protection Act is a regulation established by the Terminal long ago; all blueprints or formulas belong to individuals from the ti of their creation.
It's also the reason the cultivation liquid factory was able to monopolize the market.
However... in reality, these formulas aren't secret anymore, they're secretly sold in the black market, just without rights, so they're unspeakable."
"You an to say..." Li Zheng understood what Kota was getting at, "I have no rights, so what I sell is also unspeakable, and Kang'er might report for selling illegal goods?"
"That's right! The little Vine Race intends to use the Property Rights Protection Act to threaten you, lowering your price and all your proposed conditions; otherwise, he'll report you to the Law Enforcent Team."
Kota continued, "You're a new race in the Outer City, with no backing protection. Once reported, all black market dealings would be confiscated!"
"Oh?"
Li Zheng looked at him with mild surprise, "So why didn't you report the leak to them instead of telling about it?"
To be honest, we aren't exactly friends, are we?
