Number One Dungeon Supplier

After defeating the last of the Sui Lions, Bu Dong and his team agreed to take a short break. Even though they defeated quite a number of Nian underlings that appeared to strike them, Yue Wen believed that there should still be a few more inside guarding the villagers.

Thus, the entire party did their best to recover their stamina and drank chi potions to heal themselves up. As advertised by the Pandamonium App, the Pandawans had opted to try the new potions concocted by Yu Xiang, the new local Alchemist of Jin's service instances as the opening week discount had been a great incentive to do so.

Just like all the customers before them, they were instantly surprised that the effects of the new potion were more soothing to the mind and body compared to the chi potions they had used previously. Ignoring the fact that the Pandawans would never buy and consume any potions from outside of Jin's store ever again, Yue Wen had the most experience in regards to healing and even compared this version of the potion with the ones they used to buy at Octofussy's General Store.

She ultimately liked Yu Xiang's chi new concoction not because it was advertised to have a 33% increased efficiency compared the other chi potions, but because she could feel that the effects of the potion rejuvenated her entire body. This was an effect not found in the ones the System bought from the black market at absurdly low prices, and it was a result of Yu Xiang incorporating her parent's knowledge about Chinese herbs into her potion recipe.

Add that with the list which the System gave after vaguely identifying similar components used in the chi potions, Yu Xiang and her team of researchers had managed to crack the recipe and enhanced it further.

Initially, the prodigal alchemist was bewildered as to why Jin did not give her the full recipe list, but she later assumed that it was because he wanted to challenge her further and create her very own concoction instead of merely improving on the original.

The result was groundbreaking to the researchers themselves to the point that some of them desperately wished to publish the work and receive international recognition for it. However, all of them knew how Yu Xiang, who was their leader despite the difference in age, felt about it. They had promised to follow her because of the allure of freedom to work, and the reasonably good money Jin paid them. Not many places would grant them as much freedom to pursue their very own projects as long they managed to create something for the shop.

However, the researchers were also baffled as to how a mere shopkeeper had been able to purchase such expensive high-grade processing machines for them to perform their research. That equipment alone would need millions of yuan to acquire, and some of them could only be bought with a special licence from the manufacturer.

Even Yu Xiang had her suspicions and attempted to search Jin up on the internet, only to be disappointed as she had found nothing about but apart from being a young aspiring dungeon supplier. He was not some millionaire's son or whatsoever.

But despite always being inside the lab, she too had heard of rumours of Jin being associated with high-level Royal Zodiac Members, and she knew about him defeating the Rat Triad Boss who would be impossible as a normal person. His miracles were not short of being surprising, and that was why even the level headed young researcher had decided to gamble on Jin.

Initially, she was just lazing around in her bed, getting some well-earned rest from the Chinese New Year holiday, but her research team had been telling her to look at the forums.

She did and was baffled by it.

People were commenting in the forums about how this new life potion had been so effective in battle they would not hesitate to stock up a lot more since the discount only lasted for a week. It was to the point, Yu Xiang decided to take a trip in the middle of the night to see the crowd herself.

Lo and behold, her assigned shophouse had a long queue with people standing outside wanting to buy just that specific potion. Her mind could not process such a thought because it was just one particular potion that she was selling and according to the Pandamonium Store App statistics, her potions were already out of stock and people were waiting for the next batch of stocks to arrive in the shop.

Indeed, because of Pandarens had been pre-ordering online, most of the physical stock had already been allocated to them, and those who were on scene had to wait for the shop to replenish properly first. It was one thing Jin had not foreseen with regards to this significant demand.

Thankfully, being the overcautious System, it at least kept batches of the potion ingredients in one of the Pandapolis warehouse. The only unfortunate thing was that the Goblins and Orcs responsible for the production had to be activated even though Jin did declare a rest day.

However, the minions were willing to work because they knew more money for Jin also meant more points for them and they all had already experienced what those precious points could do to their quality of living for themselves. (Not to mention they were able to be paid with 2.5 times the System points during declared holidays within their contract, making it enticing for them to work.)

Hence, instead of the minimum amount of workers going to work, the System was moderately astonished that the factory was in full force and some other minions not within that factory's allocation came to aid them too. (Luckily, the System was not so stingy that it would not pay those extra hands as long as they were productive enough.)

This enabled a fairly quick turnover for the supplies, allowing them to meet the demand in a reasonable amount of time, yet, the System did not stop upon meeting the hour's demand and had already produced more.

With such an overwhelming demand in the first few hours, its predictive analysis had already determined it would only get worse in the next few days after word of mouth spread about the effectiveness.

And even if they have extra left, the System had sufficiently well-equipped storage to handle the extra products.
