Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!

Building Deed[2]

[Ace POV],

"How much did you say it was worth?" I inquired as Chris responded to the same question he had heard a second before with an odd expression on his face, which I ignored and focused on what he was saying.

"It's 20 gold coins," he said as I went deep in thought and didn't ask him another question.

'Does a healing item have such a high value, or was it just me who undervalued it?'

For one thing, I wondered why the rank 1 health potion was so valuable.

It's not like I didn't have the recipe recorded because it was included with the basic alchemy knowledge.

There was even a recipe for a rank 0 mana and health potion, but I'm leaning toward pills and getting used to it for some reason.

So it's not like I didn't know what materials were required to make the rank 1 health potion, so hearing its value was quite unexpected.

The basic alchemy knowledge in my head tagged most of the materials needed to make the rank 1 health potion common, and with my previous experience, I could tell that if the basic alchemy knowledge in my head called them common, they should be common.

Well common in whatever worlds they existed in.

But, since I didn't have anything to do with creating items above rank 0 in my current state, I didn't bother reviewing or learning the recipes above this rank.

Hmmm, 'I'll have to look into this further,' I thought as I smelled something shining gold in the air.

It appears that my decision to take things slowly with Alchemy may have to be modified.

Well, not completely because I can't rush my progress, but it appears that I'll have to be more active in Alchemy-related matters from now on.

While I have a lot of information about basic alchemy in my head, it appears that I haven't fully digested it.

It's like knowing everything there is to know about medicine but not knowing it at the same time because the knowledge in your head cannot be applied when it comes down to real medicine.

It's similar to my current situation, as I've recently realized. While I had a lot of knowledge about alchemy in my head, I wasn't putting it to good use and was instead lowering its value.

For one thing, it was because of Alchemy that I was offered an Alchemist job, which happened to be of legendary caliber.

This alone should demonstrate the value of true alchemy.

My inability to recognize the value of the rank 1 health potion at first glance, despite the fact that it was related to my specialty, demonstrates that I still have a long way to go.

Apart from my increased desire for coins now that alchemy appears to be quite profitable, I also needed to seriously practice alchemy for my ongoing job quest.

I was determined to get this unique job of mine and not miss it ever since I saw the power of what a mere rare grade job could do.

As I was thinking about such things, Anna called my name and pulled me out of my thoughts.

"So, what do we do now?" Everyone turned to look at me as Anna asked, waiting for my response.

"The building deed can indeed solve our shelter issue, but doing so is prohibitively expensive. For the time being, it is prohibitively expensive ", I said, to which the others nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, I was about to speak again when Chris interrupted me and spoke first.

"I think you're all misunderstanding something," he said, adding, "It's this building deed I'm talking about." As soon as he finished his speech, a panel appeared in front of him, but instead of facing Chris, the panel was aimed at us.

I didn't have to think long to realize that this was Chris' panel, so when it suddenly appeared, it had no effect on me as I immediately read the texts written on the panel in front of me.

[Low Rare Grade Building Deed[Defective]],[35 Gold Coins]

A low magical building that has already been built and sealed in a deed, but as it did not perform as expected, it was tagged defective because it could only perform half of what other magical buildings of its grade could do.

....

When I saw the information for the specific building deed that Chris desired, I realized it was this item he was referring to, not the one I was looking at.

I wasn't at fault because it was understandable that if someone was looking for something, they'd look for working items rather than defective ones.

But now that I've seen this relatively cheap building deed compared to the one I've seen, it was possible to buy it because if we exchanged the health potion for 20 gold coins, we'd be able to get the building deed. After all, all we had to do was pool another 15 gold coins, which was more bearable.

As I was thinking about this, I spoke up and addressed Chris.

"If it's this, then we can have it," I said, adding, "Let's buy it," and as soon as I did, I pulled 15 gold coins from my primordial chronicle and placed them on the ground, surprising my teammates, who were expecting only 3 to 4 gold coins.

"B-brother Ace, I think you made a mistake," Chris said quickly as he counted the gold coins I had brought out while speaking.

"It's 15 gold coins, Brother Ace, 15 gold coins is too much," Chris said, adding, "We already have 20 gold coins, so you only need to contribute at most 4 gold coins," he said as I turned to face him and spoke.

"Don't think about it since I know what I'm doing, and besides, I can't let you take the big chunk of the building purchase, right?" I said, to which Chris was unable to respond because my thought made sense, and Emma beside us was nodding our heads in approval for strange reasons I don't understand, so I ignored her actions as I watched Chris take my coins and the ones that Emma and Anna had dropped as I pondered a few things.

I gave this amount of gold coins primarily because of what I learned in school and what Gustav taught me.

What I learned from them both is that if one wanted something resembling an absolute say in a shared property, it was easier if the person owned at least half of the property.

While 15 gold coins were insufficient to purchase half of the building deed, I did have the highest right to purchase the building deed, followed by Chris in second place.

This may appear to be a waste of gold coins for a pointless reason, but ever since I and the team decided to purchase the building deed, I could already see some advantages, and I wouldn't want to be stopped by someone else if I wanted to do something with the building because I didn't have a say in it.

Even though things appear to be going well now, no one knows what will happen in the future, so it was better for me to act now rather than regret it later.

Well, I wasn't like I could feel regret, so all the more reason for me to do what I wanted.

As I was thinking of this, a dim light flashed in front of my eyes, and I saw an item slowly materialize in front of Chris.

Seeing this, I concentrated on the item in Chris's hands while another thought ran through my mind.

'After this matter is resolved, I will submit all of my quests and not prolong them again'

'I wonder what rewards I will receive.'

"I really wouldn't want a health potion or pill."
