My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!
269 Chapter 269: Forager
"If that's the case then you'll receive a little bit of support from the city since we always lacked enough alchemists" Philome said
A lot of materials are wasted every time a mage tried to learn how to concoct a certain potion. Because the city itself lacks enough resources, they couldn't be wasteful and just give everyone a chance to become an alchemist
However, it would be different once a mage already knows how to create a potion. If they don't have the capital, the city would help them in exchange for benefits
"If you can already create potions then you can apply for a certain amount of materials every week but in exchange, you have to give a certain number of potions back. At the very least, the potions that you give must cover the costs of the ingredients provided. You can do this by showing your alchemist identity card to the branches of the military in every district. However, since you don't have an identity card yet, it would be a bit troublesome. How about this, prove to us that you really can create potions and we'll take care of the documents for you" Philome explained and Rezen nodded his head
"I'll do that then, thank you" Rezen thanked them and for now he was asked to return to the dormitory and tomorrow, the two would watch him create potions to prove that he really is an alchemist
——
Seven days later
"Here is your A1 alchemist card and this is a set of materials for twenty mana recovery potions. In exchange, you have to give five recovery potions to the military and if you made more, you could sell it to the military or other shops, you can also keep it to yourself" Philome said as she handed a yellow card to Rezen and a box that contains the twenty sets of ingredients for mana recovery potions
It has been a week since the tribesmen entered the city and Rezen already proved that he is an alchemist to Philome and Wermon
It was fortunate that he succeeded in creating a potion after a few times since sometimes when his luck is bad, it even takes ten tries just to create one potion
Rezen once again proved that while he has some talent in alchemy as he succeeded in creating potions while other people can't, his talent is far from being desirable
For twenty sets of ingredients, the military has to receive five potions. This means that at the very least, if an alchemist wants to break even, they need to have a 25% success rate when brewing potions!
If they want to receive profit then they must have a success rate of more than 25%
If they failed to reach the quota then they wouldn't be able to apply for more ingredients until they pay what they owe
"Fortunately, I have the farm. I can rig the numbers of my success rate" Rezen thought, once again thanking his cheat. If not for it, after receiving the first batch of ingredients, he might not be given more due to his low success rate
After all, there are many people in the city that need these resources. The city cannot waste the limited resources on untalented people
If they can't even have a 25% success rate when brewing potions, they would just waste the city's limited resources
"Thank you, Sister, I will do my best" Rezen replied sincerely. Philome and Wermon are the kindest people he ever met from the City of Hope. They are more than willing to help the tribal people knowing that they are still adjusting to a completely different life
"Hehehe, thank your Brother Wermon too. It might not look like it but he even talked with the city management and they agreed to let you use the vacant rooms of your dormitory building whenever you have to focus on creating potions" Philome said while giving Wermon a teasing look
Wermon might not talk much and his words are also not on the kinder side but he did have a very soft heart
After hearing that, Rezen's eyes glowed and he smiled at Wermon that is bad at socializing. "Thank you for your help, brother"
In return, Wermon turned his head to the side before replying. "It's nothing"
"Hehehe, look at him getting shy easily" Philome said with a laugh and Wermon shot her a look
"Stop that" he said with a frown on his face but that just causes Philome to giggle
"Ah, right, your good brother Wermon also put an effort to give you another job. Although alchemy is a profitable business, it's hard for those that are just starting to earn a lot of money. Since an alchemist has a lot of expenses for now, you can't rely on it to become rich as you would have a lot of expenses when walking that path"
"Your brother Wermon got you a good job. Since you are an alchemist, you should be pretty familiar with Spirit Plants and other treasures of heaven and earth. But if you're not, you should go to a public library and familiarize yourself with the different kinds of Spirit Plants, your new job will need that"
"Inside the city, there are mountains, forests, rivers, plains, and other natural landforms that are left alone to let them continue producing resources naturally. Your job is a forager and you are to search for these resources and the more you found, the more commission you would receive!"
The Savage Beast Realm is many times larger than the earth realm. Even the only human city of this realm is already as big as an entire country back on earth
As such, it was not surprising that the city has some landforms left inside since some treasures could only form naturally
Rezen was really being treated by Philome and Wermon kindly and he was more than thankful for that, especially with the job given to him
This is the perfect job for Rezen! Not only does he have Ivy that can help him search for the treasures of heaven and earth, but Rezen could also secretly smuggle the resources he found by storing them inside his farm!
Even Rezen didn't expect there's a job like this. If he knew, this is the kind of job he would try his best to get!
He might even find treasures that could increase his natural aptitude!
"As expected, being a nepo baby is the best. Hurray to being a product of nepotism!" Rezen screamed happily inside him as he thanked the two over and over again
"Don't be too happy. While the magic beasts in these natural terrains are regularly cleared, there's still some roaming inside. This job is not completely safe, you might even die inside" Wermon bursts Rezen's bubble and the latter shuddered
With Rezen's pitiful strength at the 1st cycle, he was no more than an ant. The city of hope has a higher mana level than other places. It was easier for organisms to grow stronger here
The Drakery Forest has an abnormally low mana level, on the outskirts, most magic beasts are only beastlings or low-level Junior Beasts
However, in those natural landforms, there might even be Senior or Great Beasts!
"Geez, just say that you are worried for Rezen, why do you have to scare him like this? Don't worry, Rezen, even the sons and daughters of powerful families sometimes tried their luck to discover resources that even their families can't easily get"
"There's a safety mechanism for everyone and while there are some people that died while foraging, these cases are rare. Often, there wouldn't be any casualty in a year though, of course, it was better to be careful about your own safety"
Only when Philome explained things did Rezen heave a sigh of relief. As long as it was not too dangerous, Rezen is willing to take the risk
With the cheat that he has, Rezen will make sure to milk his job as much as possible
He can already imagine himself discovering one great treasure after another. He would give up the ones he doesn't need while keeping those that are useful to him for himself
This might even be a way for Rezen to upgrade his farm's current capabilities after it was nerfed when he entered the Savage Beast Realm. He wouldn't let this chance go
"I understand, I'll be careful and do my best to become the best forager in the city!" Rezen said confidently
Whether it be Wermon or Philome, they thought that Rezen was merely boasting as a joke but it wouldn't take that long before they are proven wrong
In time, Rezen would be viewed as the best forager in the city. Every time he foraged for resources, he would bring back many rare treasures of heaven and earth
He would easily beat the other foragers that are already experienced in their job and expertise
