LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 84: Don't Want the Newly Found House for Free?
Charlotte entered Vivian's room and retrieved the Black Stone, Judgment Sword, and Black Robe from under the bed.
These were his most valuable possessions at the moment, and he couldn't just leave them casually in the house. It would make him uneasy while sleeping.
Taking a long box, Charlotte packed the Judgment Sword and Black Robe at the bottom, followed by the diary. On top, he placed a few pieces of clothing, preparing to take them to Diana's villa.
Closing the door behind him, Charlotte took out the Black Stone and sent two messages to the Hermit.
[Miracle: Senior Hermit, I have developed an aversion agent for magic drugs. The current experimental results show that it can effectively suppress magic drug addiction and elicit strong physiological reactions upon consumption.]
[Miracle: I want to promote this potion on a large scale to help those tormented by magic drugs. Is it appropriate to cooperate with merchants?]
Charlotte put down the Black Stone, estimating that a senior like the Hermit wouldn't reply immediately.
However, as soon as he placed the Black Stone down, it started vibrating.
[Hermit: Really?]
[Hermit: Are you saying that you have developed a potion that can cure magic drug addiction?]
[Hermit: Has the effectiveness of the potion been confirmed?]
The Hermit's three consecutive questions fully expressed his astonishment.
Charlotte was already used to it. After all, anyone who understood what magic drugs were would understand the significance of a potion that could cure magic drug addiction.
[Miracle: Yes, I have already tested it on two magic drug addicts, and the results are significant. I have also tested it on mice, and the effectiveness is equally notable.]
There was silence on the other end for a moment.
[Hermit: Within three days, I will come to the Abyss to find you. Until then, do not leak any information to anyone, especially merchants.]
Charlotte could sense the seriousness in the Hermit's words.
But...
He wasn't the first one to know the news.
[Miracle: The Jadeson family wants to kill me. They even sent a Level 4 Werewolf for a night attack last night, almost killing me. I want to bring down the Jadeson family, who made their fortune from magic drugs. I have already approached Diana from the Harriman family, and we are ready to join forces and use the aversion agent to dismantle the Jadeson family.]
"This kid has some guts." Inside the Library of All Things, the Hermit, sitting by the bookshelf, looked at the Black Stone and couldn't help but laugh.
The Jadeson family was the top dog in the Abyss, making their fortune from magic drugs. They had emptied the Abyss and controlled a powerful Black Demon Guard through magic drugs, surpassing the other three major families in strength.
He wasn't sure how Charlotte had provoked the Jadeson family, but teaming up with the Harriman family and attempting to overthrow the Jadeson family using the aversion agent was a clever and strategic move.
[Hermit: If you cooperate with merchants, you can earn a lot of money with the aversion agent. But the premise is that you must hold the formula in your own hands. That way, you will have more leverage with the merchants.]
[Miracle: Actually, I don't want to make a huge fortune solely from the formula. It means that the people at the bottom won't be able to access this potion. A small quantity of the potion circulating in the market can be sold at sky-high prices, but I would prefer people to be able to easily afford the aversion agent, at least more easily than purchasing magic drugs.]
The Hermit looked at the Black Stone, a satisfied smile appearing on his face as he muttered, "The Judgment's eyes are still sharp. This kid has great compassion."
The formula for this aversion agent was enough to ensure a worry-free life for him.
But he made a different choice.
[Hermit: I will talk to the merchants first on your behalf. They are well-connected and if you want to promote the aversion agent on a large scale, there is no one more suitable than them.]
[Miracle: Thank you, senior.]
Charlotte stuffed the Black Stone into the pile of clothes in the box.
The decision he just made meant that he was giving up the opportunity to make a fortune with the aversion agent.
But he didn't feel regretful. On the contrary, he felt a sense of relief throughout his body.
This decision was made by him last night. There are still many people in this world whose lives have been ruined by magic drugs, like Ivan and Klee, and they are trapped in a quagmire from which they cannot free themselves.
If a bottle of ten copper coins aversion agent can save a family and change the lives of those innocent children, he doesn't need to make that money.
As for how to cooperate with merchants and whether he would agree to sell the aversion agent at a low price on a large scale, that is something to discuss later.
Currently, the cost of producing one bottle of aversion agent is four copper coins, and if produced on a large scale, there is still room for cost reduction.
With the minds of merchants, small profits and high sales are still profitable.
Charlotte carried the box and several cages containing small mice downstairs, and also packed a bunch of materials and a pot from the alchemy room. He was preparing to move to the Harriman Manor for a while.
A sign was hung in front of the clinic door, stating that it would be closed for three days due to illness.
The patients who came to seek medical treatment looked at the dilapidated house on the second floor, prayed for the doctor, and then left disappointed.
"Buddy, I need someone to repair the house." Charlotte found Buddy waiting at the door.
"I have already arranged for a craftsman, Miss, and I have given instructions. How to repair it is up to the doctor's decision, whether to rebuild it or restore it to its original state," Buddy smiled.
"Can it still be rebuilt?" Charlotte was somewhat surprised. "What about the cost..."
"The cost will be covered by us."
"I believe that last night's explosion has seriously affected the structural stability of the house. It's too risky to live in such a dangerous house. Let's just rebuild it." Charlotte said solemnly.
"Alright."
"I will give you the detailed construction plan for the new house tonight. Please find a place to store the various materials and books from this house."
Not accepting the newly found house for free?
That doesn't align with his character.
The foundation of this house is at least two hundred square meters, but the layout and utilization are extremely poor, giving the illusion of less than one hundred square meters.
Moreover, it is old and there are a few leaking spots on the second floor.
The landlady offered to upgrade and renovate it for free and even allowed him to plan it according to his preferences. How could he not plan it properly?
The first floor will be the working area, and the second floor will be the living area. The layout must be clear.
In the original owner's diary, the landlady was a stingy woman. Why did her character suddenly change?
Could it be...
Is she lusting after my body?
To avoid being buried alive, Charlotte found another box, packed all the world classics from the top shelf of the bookshelf, and locked it. He moved it to the carriage together.
After moving the important things, a black carriage stopped in front of the clinic.
The carriage door opened, and Roland walked out. He glanced at the fox guard in front of him, then looked towards the half-open door of the clinic and said, "Is Doctor Charlotte here? I have something to discuss with him."
"The clinic is closed for three days. Please come back," a fox guard replied.
"I am Roland Duru. Please inform him." Roland said.
The fox guard's face slightly changed upon hearing this and was about to enter to inform.
"Master Roland, welcome. What can I do for you?" Charlotte had already arrived at the door and looked at the luxurious young man in the carriage.
