Chapter 46: Sasa the Savant

"I mean, is this really okay?"

Laphae looked heartbroken.

"We're just going to complete a task that pays at most a few thousand in gold, but now we've spent tens of millions on equipment? Isn't being an adventurer supposed to be about working hard to earn money?"

"It's okay, Laphae. We also got our allowance from our parents through our own efforts!" I (Yue) comforted Laphae.

Xue'er also nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Laphae, it's just this sucker's money we're spending, you don't have to worry so much!"

When Xue'er said it, Laphae seemed even more distressed.

"This is my gift to you, so just accept it with peace of mind. Or do you not like it?"

"No, I really like it."

Laphae held the white staff, about a hundred centimeters long, solemnly.

"But, Yue, it's not easy for you to make money either, right? Dealing with that troublesome kid Lotte must be difficult? And aren't you not a knight for Lotte anymore?"

Uh, Laphae, could you please stop?

It's really embarrassing!

There's no such thing as making money not being easy, I just asked my father and mother for it!

And then it came from my (Night) left hand to my (Yue) right hand!

"Anyway, let's go buy potions. We have to complete this adventure task today no matter what."

I (Night) directly grabbed Laphae's left hand and forcibly led her to the neighboring "Sasa Shop."

Yes, it's the Sasa Shop where tasks are issued.

Its owner is named Sasa and is even considered a celebrity in the royal capital.

She is a fourteen-year-old commoner girl who graduated at the top of her class from the Amide Alchemist Advanced Academy a year ago.

Or rather, she's even worse off than the average commoner child; she grew up as an orphan in a welfare institution.

After graduating from middle school, she passed the entrance exam to the Amide Alchemist Advanced Academy with excellent grades, becoming a student of Amide. Then, in just two years, she obtained her graduation qualification and became a formal alchemist.

More importantly, after graduation, she rejected the invitation to become a court alchemist for the royal family and instead set up a stall in the capital city, gradually expanding her business and working hard to earn money. Now, in just one year, she has opened her own shop.

It is said that she sells all sorts of strange things, but they are very popular in the capital city.

However, there are also rumors that she is strange.

Anyway, I haven't seen her with my own eyes.

"Welcome!"

With shoulder-length platinum blonde hair, a strand of hair tied with a headband on the left side of her head, beautiful sky-blue eyes, a slender figure, and a moderate chest size, she is undoubtedly a flawless beauty smiling behind the counter.

"What can I help you with, little brothers and sisters? Please look to the left and choose for yourselves."

I (Night) turned to look, and what she recommended were a bunch of toys.

"Sorry, we need to buy some potions."

"Oh? Is that so? I see. I also have some potions to recommend."

The beautiful looking genius, Sasha, walked out from behind the counter, smiling as she approached another counter and took out four boxes from inside.

"For you guys, you should be able to afford these four potions."

With that said, she opened each box one by one and then tilted her head with a smile, saying, "There are instruction manuals in the boxes, take a look yourselves."

I (Night) picked up the instruction manual, while I (Yue) directly used the identification skill.

The information in the instruction manual matched the identification results perfectly, indicating that they were very honest.

However...

"Primary Azure Potion"

—Potential Attribute value INT permanently +5, repeated use will gradually decrease effectiveness, varies from person to person

Price: 10 million

"Primary Crimson Potion"

—Potential Attribute value VIT permanently +5, repeated use will gradually decrease effectiveness, varies from person to person

Price: 10 million

"Primary Verdant Potion"

—Potential Attribute value AGI permanently +5, repeated use will gradually decrease effectiveness, varies from person to person

Price: 10 million

"Primary Gold Potion"

—Potential Attribute value STR permanently +5, repeated use will gradually decrease effectiveness, varies from person to person

Price: 10 million

Hey hey hey, can these things really be made? Am I mistaken? Isn't this something only found in the Cradle Continent in TV dramas?

Sasa the Savant, I admit it, you're truly deserving of your name.

—But unfortunately, I can't afford it.

Even though I'm (Yue) the highly anticipated heir of the duke's family, I have limited funds. I only have a little over five million left now, not even enough to buy one bottle.

Although I could just inform my father and he would definitely bring money over, if I let him know that we're going to the Magic Zone to complete an adventurer mission—then we won't be allowed to go.

"Sorry, even though I really want to, I can't afford this price."

"I see..." Sasha's expression didn't change, and she continued to smile, saying, "Actually, it's okay to give them to you for free, and you can use them up to the limit."

"Huh? Why?"

I (Night) asked instantly with vigilance; there's no such thing as a free lunch, that's common sense.

"In fact, these are newly developed products of mine, still in need of improvement. I personally reached the limit after consuming ten bottles. Further consumption had no effect. However, others don't know how many bottles they can consume or what the effects might be. So, I hope you can help me with a little experiment— I'll use the identification skill to observe the changes in your Attribute values while you consume these potions in front of me," Sasha said, her hands crossed in front of her chest, with a cheerful smile.

"How about it? Are you willing? There's no reason to refuse, after all, you're essentially getting potions worth hundreds of millions for free!"
