Lord's Survival: Starting the Conquest from a Dilapidated Courtyard
Chapter 25: The Wealth Code, Tears of the Moon Goddess [Please add to collections and recommend]
Zong Shen slapped his own head!
The business opportunity for wealth was right beside him!
He had just browsed through the market, and he hadn't found a single item capable of restoring HP.
As for potions, they were non-existent.
While there were plenty of various herbs and raw materials, without recipes and specific buildings, it was impossible to craft potions.
However, what other lords lacked, he possessed!
Although Zong Shen couldn't craft potions, he had the Moon Well!
Just 1ml of Moon Spring water could restore 1.2 HP, and the effect was instantaneous!
Most importantly, the Moon Well produced Moon Spring water every single moment.
It was practically an inexhaustible "potion" manufacturing base.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen's expression was as if he had found five million dollars on the side of the road; his excitement and joy were almost overflowing from his face.
He ran quickly to the side of the Moon Well.
At this moment, the Moon Well had already produced some more water. Excluding what had been used to treat Colby's injuries, there were about 200ml remaining in the well.
Liquids could be traded in the [Market], and they did not require a container.
Standing by the Moon Well, Zong Shen began to calculate.
Currently, the average HP of a lord was estimated to be between 120 and 180, and would at most not exceed 200 points.
Therefore, listing them in 40ml portions would be most appropriate! It could restore 48 HP.
"The secret to wealth! This Moon Well is the secret to wealth!"
Zong Shen grew excited.
"However, I can't call it 'Moon Well Water'; that's too vulgar!"
"The name of the listed item can be customized. In that case, let's call it 'Tears of the Moon Goddess'!"
"And the tag shall be set to 'Potion Type'!"
A Tier 1 [Market] could list a maximum of three items simultaneously.
With this thought, Zong Shen opened the [Crafting] interface on the spot.
After spending three minutes, he crafted a brand-new wooden bucket.
Then, he carefully scooped the Moon Spring water into the bucket.
Carrying the bucket, he entered the market.
He began to extract the item details.
[40ml Moon Spring Water]
[Custom Name: Tears of the Moon Goddess]
[Effect: Restores 48 HP upon consumption]
[Listing Price: Wood ×100 / Iron ×30 / Hemp ×80 / Refined Food ×15]
[Remarks: Accepting blueprints, skill books, and special materials; please private message]
Zong Shen listed one portion, providing the types of resources acceptable for trade.
100 Wood or 30 Iron.
Or 80 Hemp and 15 Refined Food.
While this amount of resources was not a small sum, most lords who gathered diligently could afford it, though it would certainly sting.
Even some wealthy lords might even have a surplus after purchasing.
After listing three portions of Moon Spring water renamed as [Tears of the Moon Goddess] in one go, Zong Shen turned back and returned to his small hut.
He planned to check the status of his listings after waking up from a sleep.
He would then adjust the prices.
Meanwhile, his private message channel began to flicker frantically.
In just a short while, hundreds of private messages appeared.
Fortunately, the chat function was quite sophisticated; with just a thought, Zong Shen could filter for information containing the keywords he wanted to see.
Upon checking, most were useless junk information.
A few who claimed to have blueprints only had broken, white-tier ones.
For example, a [Tier 1 Wooden Bowl Crafting Blueprint].
There were also some claiming to have special materials.
Zong Shen was speechless upon seeing them.
[Dried Behemoth Droppings], [Dandruff dropped by a passing Dragon], [Beast bones gnawed by a Two-Headed Ogre]...
After a few glances, he directly closed the [Channel] and turned on Do Not Disturb and message filtering.
He lay down on the dilapidated wooden bed in his hut.
Perhaps due to fatigue, or perhaps because he was carefree, he soon began to emit steady snores.
When the latter half of the night arrived, he would still have to get up for the night watch!
Outside the courtyard, the howls of wild beasts continued.
One could even hear the roars of two beasts fighting each other.
Some beasts had even approached the vicinity of the courtyard, but without exception, they were directly killed by Luna!
Among them were Prairie Wolves, Mole Rats, and Porcupines—all common beasts.
Luna could easily deal with them.
They contributed some experience points to Zong Shen.
There were also dropped rewards and beast carcasses waiting for Zong Shen to collect.
Although Luna could kill and trigger drops, she could not pick them up.
The same applied to treasure chests.
Unopened chests could only be opened by lords, who existed in a sort of alternative "invincible" state.
No extraordinary fierce beasts appeared throughout the entire night.
The farmers endured their fear until late at night before finally falling into a weary sleep.
The night was so tranquil, yet one wondered how many people would be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
...
In the latter half of the night, Zong Shen was awakened by Luna.
Zong Shen took out his筝-shaped shield and sharp Germanic sword and walked out of the courtyard. Luna led the black panther into the hut to rest.
Fully armed, he stretched his limbs.
He began to check his notifications.
"Your listed item [Tears of the Moon Goddess] was purchased by Lord Chen Xuan 1994718. You have obtained Iron ×30. Please go to the [Market] to collect."
"Your listed item [Tears of the Moon Goddess] was purchased by Lord Thomas 1991518. You have obtained Wood ×100. Please go to the [Market] to collect."
"Your listed item [Tears of the Moon Goddess] was purchased by Lord Abraham 1984323. You have obtained Refined Dried Camel Meat ×15. Please go to the [Market] to collect."
Within half an hour of Zong Shen listing them, all three portions of Moon Spring water were sold out!
It seemed that this Moon Spring water was indeed a hard currency.
It was a truly life-saving treasure.
Before efficient healing potions became widespread, it would have a massive market and could amass enormous wealth for Zong Shen.
Furthermore, Moon Spring water provided instant recovery.
In battle, it could rapidly heal injuries and change the outcome of a fight.
Its prospects and effects were both outstanding.
Zong Shen had slept from 8 PM until 2 AM.
In these six hours, the Moon Well had produced another 300ml of Moon Spring water.
Wealth—this was wealth!
Zong Shen listed another three portions.
Then, he saw Luna's kill notifications.
By this time, Colby had also awakened.
His and the Great Wolf's injuries had completely recovered.
He began the work of "looting corpses."
Scavenging the dropped items.
At the same time, he also decomposed the beast carcasses.
[Decomposed Prairie Wolf carcass ×1] [Obtained Fresh Wolf Meat ×10] [Obtained Hard Prairie Wolf Skull ×1] ...
[Decomposed Mole Rat carcass ×1] [Obtained Fresh Rat Meat ×6] [Obtained Intact Mole Rat Fur ×1] ...
[Decomposed Porcupine carcass ×1] [Obtained Sharp Quills ×13] [Obtained Fresh Porcupine Meat ×5] ...
Additionally, there were some ready-made items.
[Obtained Wolf Hide Armor ×1] [Obtained Stiff Shortbow ×1] [Obtained Junior Elemental Crystal ×1] [Obtained Nord Shadow Scout Class Change Book ×1] ...
