Chapter 92: Cure-All—A Smash Hit
Cure-All had gone viral—and so had the bald director!
Li Jiexuan also made a fortune. He took out a total of ten bottles of stamina potion, diluted them with water to make Cure-All, and a sales volume of ten million ryō was sold out in a single day…
Even more terrifying was that on the black market, the price of a single bottle of the standard edition of Cure-All had quintupled in just five hours, reaching fifty thousand ryō per bottle.
The deluxe edition rose tenfold—to one million ryō per bottle!
No bargaining!
Truly priceless and impossible to get!
The bald director even defeated a crowd of handsome men and heartthrobs, unanimously voted by all of Konoha as the most popular man of Konoha's twelfth year!
Red-hot—truly red-hot!
Now, wherever the bald director went, there was always a large group following him, begging for medicine, wishing they could devote themselves body and soul until death…
But the medicine had long since sold out!
"Hehe, before getting the medicine, let's first go check on the previous patient."
The medicine all came from Li Jiexuan. The bald director himself couldn't afford to take out even half a bottle of Cure-All.
A crowd escorted the bald director into Li Jiexuan's home. Before the bald director could even speak, someone in the crowd banged on the table and shouted, "Is Li Jiexuan home? Director Yamada is here to see you!"
"Hm?"
Li Jiexuan came out with a frown, his face full of a strange, stiff smile. "What? Has my lifesaving benefactor arrived?"
The moment he saw Li Jiexuan's expression, the bald director panicked completely. He immediately roared and drove the crowd out. "All of you, get out! Brother Li Jiexuan is a hero of Konoha. He's just recovered from a serious illness—don't disturb his rest!"
After chasing everyone away, the bald director's expression instantly underwent a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree change. He fawned over Li Jiexuan, pouring tea, rubbing his shoulders, and pounding his back!
"Do you remember what I told you?"
Li Jiexuan sneered, set the tea aside, and grabbed the bald director by the throat. "Looks to me like you've forgotten everything!"
"No, no, no—I didn't forget!"
The bald director hurried to explain. "It's just that the medicine sold out, and those guys kept pressing me. I got excited for a moment, and then…"
"Heh heh…"
Li Jiexuan slammed the bald director hard onto the ground and sneered. "I told you—if there's nothing special, don't come looking for me!"
"Just because the medicine sold out, you dared to come here!"
Li Jiexuan pointed the Kusanagi Sword at the bald director's throat. "You need to remember this: everything you have now was given to you by me. If I want to, I can take it all back at any time!"
"Yes, yes, yes…"
The bald director nodded frantically, so frightened he could barely speak coherently.
"Get lost!"
With a light flick of his wrist, Li Jiexuan left a bone-deep gash on the bald director's leg with the Kusanagi Sword. But the bald director didn't even have time to cry out in pain—he scrambled and crawled as he fled…
"Director, what happened to you?" "Did Li Jiexuan hit you?" "Even if he's a hero of Konoha, he can't treat his lifesaving benefactor like this!"
The people trying to buy medicine immediately grew anxious…
"No, no—I just slipped and fell by accident, and happened to land on a pair of scissors."
The bald director forced a bitter smile. That slash had sobered him up. In the end, he was nothing more than one of Li Jiexuan's dogs. He had to put himself in the right position…
Li Jiexuan curled his lip in disdain. Someone like this was just that lowly. It had only taken a few days for him to become arrogant and lose his sense of place…
If he wasn't disciplined from time to time, sooner or later he would bite his master!
But if used properly—
He was a fierce, excellent dog!
This time, Li Jiexuan truly struck it rich… ten million ryō from selling medicine, twenty million ryō in performance fees, totaling thirty million ryō!
Some people might not yet grasp what that meant! In yen terms, that was roughly six billion yen! Converted into Huaxia currency, it was over three hundred million!
More importantly, the beginner task of earning ten million had finally been completed.
"Task complete!"
Reward: one beginner treasure chest…
This beginner task had dragged on for far too long, but a bottle of stamina potion was still a decent reward. Turned into Cure-All and sold, it was worth a million!
