Soon, two different voices rapidly erged within the Tarata Royal City.
One fully supported the improved alchemy potions, mainly from ordinary rcenaries, while the other, from large rcenary groups, showed disdain for it.
One side thought the other was rich and foolish, while the other believed those people were shaless in order to save money, filled with a sense of superiority.
However, regardless of how these two groups disagreed, it didn’t affect Zhang Xiaoman’s ability to make money.
With the spread of the new potions, more and more alchemy shops started sourcing from him.
In fact, almost every alchemy potion store in Tarata Royal City had his stake.
But these large-scale rcenary groups endorsed a more high-end alchemy product.
It’s a potion from a new industry within the city called "Wildfire Tavern."
All these potions are of excellent quality, with at least a 30% effectiveness boost over the common market potions, and without any side effects.
Many Middle High Rank professionals preferred to purchase such potions at the Wildfire Tavern.
However, the Wildfire Tavern’s potions are not sold directly but require sothing called "points" to exchange for them.
To acquire points, one must complete the tasks published within the Wildfire Tavern.
The tasks co with multiple forms of rewards, such as money, item rewards, and points rewards.
It’s worth ntioning that the monetary rewards given by missions in the Wildfire Tavern are quite generous, and the item rewards are dazzling and mouth-watering.
The exquisite enchanted weapons, high-grade armor engraved with arcane runes, the super-effective alchemical potions...
All these make the rcenaries salivate with desire.
In addition to that, sotis the item rewards include peculiar things.
Such as adventure maps of a certain area, materials for alchemy or forging, and even a tad Gale Wolf mount.
Not to ntion, besides these items, there are also the valuable points.
Everyone knows that points can be used to exchange for a large number of precious items in the Wildfire Tavern’s shop, which makes the price of points soar on the Black Market.
These abundant rewards attract the rcenaries to take on tasks eagerly.
It’s just a pity that, although the Wildfire Tavern provides generous rewards, its drawback is the limited number of tasks, which are more difficult compared to normal rcenary tasks.
This makes it hard for the average rcenary to complete, and only professionals of Middle-level or above qualifications can attempt to tackle them.
Of course, the people who accept tasks in the Wildfire Tavern are given a new title—Bounty Hunters.
Their missions usually focus on exploring unknown areas and acquiring special materials, never involving assassination tasks.
This allows the Wildfire Tavern, although it ca out of nowhere, not to offend too many people so far.
And the rcenary Guild, whose interests were impacted, knew the real identity of the tavern’s boss, and chose not to say much.
Because the tasks published within the tavern are high-difficulty ones, the impact on the rcenary Guild is not significant.
The Seven Guardians of the rcenary Guild, after holding an ergency eting for a day and night, finally decided on a strategy to bring it into cooperation.
The reason Zhang Xiaoman established the Wildfire Tavern was to foster a true force of his own in this world.
Although the Unshacklers have been influenced by him, there are actually not many official mbers inside.
Those attached organizations like the Magic Guild and Iron Furnace Comrce actually have their own ways of operating, which Zhang Xiaoman cannot truly control.
If he wants to thoroughly integrate and utilize this world’s resources, he must have a ans of his own.
The Wildfire Tavern is one such ans.
The main purpose of the tavern is, besides helping him explore for potential resource rifts, collecting various special materials in this world is also very important.
The materials found are handed over to Zhang Xiaoman for identification, keeping those that are beneficial to him, while the rest are utilized in alchemy and forging.
Maximizing the use of these resources, accumulating his foundation in this world.
And his foundation in this world is also the future foundation of the Star Alliance.
Maybe it’s only one world, especially a not fully developed small world like Erin Continent, may not show much.
But Zhang Xiaoman knows that if one day, when the Wildfire Tavern’s footprints are all over the universe, the benefits he brings to the Star Alliance will be enormous.
This is no longer conceivable by rely a few words of being a Vanguard Explorer.
This will beco the cornerstone for the Star Alliance to beco a massive force like the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance.
...
Ti passed quickly as Zhang Xiaoman busily worked for a month.
The matters in Tarata Royal City were temporarily settled; apart from so Dark Spirit Techniques being strengthened and perfected, Zhang Xiaoman also stabilized the affairs related to the Wildfire Tavern.
Miscellaneous tasks were handed over to Ifei, the temporary chief manager, for handling, allowing him to disengage from them.
anwhile, Hillna and Regina had already set out ahead to the Wailing Abyss.
Zhang Xiaoman, though having teleportation ans, saw no need to waste his cherished waymarks for teleporting in non-urgent situations.
These two won traveled on Frost Giant Dragons, taking about 1-2 days to reach their destination.
It’s worth ntioning that Ziwei, who accompanied them, also tagged along, full of curiosity about this world like a child.
Zhang Xiaoman kept her by his side, feeling at ease watching her under his keen eyes.
After all, both parties have only been in contact for more than half a month, not understanding each other thoroughly, he couldn’t completely trust her yet.
Tarata Royal City, Wildfire Tavern Headquarters.
Walking out from a luxurious private alchemy room, Zhang Xiaoman handed a vial exuding a chilling aura to a Senior Alchemist.
It was the recently improved Frozen Potion, which added a life-decaying power on top of the original.
The one who cos into contact will not only be frozen but also will have their flesh decay, turning the sprinkled potion area into a short-term deadly Restricted Area with a massive killing effect.
Clearly, it was modified by combining the power of Undead Magic.
The Senior Alchemist carefully received the potion bottle from Zhang Xiaoman as if he was a respectful apprentice, placing it in a box made during a forbidden ti, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Xiaoman waved him off, signaling him to leave.
The morning breeze gently stirred, creating a delightful lody with the wind chis in front of the tavern door.
Although it was still early morning, a large group of rcenaries had already gathered in the tavern to take on tasks.
After all, the tasks within the tavern were scarce resources, which many Middle High Rank professionals fought over tooth and nail to secure.
Oh, by the way, these people’s identities are no longer considered rcenaries but known here as Bounty Hunters.
Zhang Xiaoman looked around at the bustling scene, feeling quite gratified inside.
Having firmly established his position in Tarata Royal City, his next step is to spread the Wildfire Tavern across the entire Erin Continent.
Raising his left hand, he checked the ti on the Star Network Terminal, estimating that Hillna and the others should have arrived at their destination by now.
Finding a less crowded spot, Zhang Xiaoman leisurely brewed a cup of Rooney Plum Wine, unique to this world.
He took a bite of the roasted, crispy, tender, golden, and juicy Keduo Beast at, then returned to his room.
After briefly sensing the location of the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, he directly activated Unlimited Teleportation, disappearing from the original spot.
