Chapter 153 Profit...
Hikaru's thoughts were similar to Rika's, however, there was no need to rush things. Right now, he needed Selvih to solve the problems that were causing chaos in his territory.
Hikaru stayed with Selvih for a day and left because he needed Selvih to solve the problems in his territory.
When Selvih saw three resource chests including food, construction resources and power stones, she was surprised.
He found it difficult to understand, but Selvih said that the amount of resources he possessed was enormous. Even the Dark-Elf Kingdom's reserves were not this much.
Although the amount of resources Hikaru possessed was a lot, there were also a variety of resources such as metal for making weapons, or resources for crafting items for living.
Hikaru knew that he was lacking a lot so he decided to let Selvih control the people inside the domain. Everyone in the territory was assigned by Selvih, except Saraya, Vuni, and Tsuraguki.
Selvih now said: "Kiki, I will give you a large amount of the resources you lack, although they are not needed now, in the future they will be indispensable resources."
Hikaru knew that Selvih wanted the best for him, however, he refused: "I know you love me, and you also want to develop my domain. However, I know it's not easy for you to be a Queen, the Senate is still watching you, if you transport so many resources, they will definitely use it as an excuse to mess with you."
Selvih felt so sweet in her heart, that she couldn't help but hug Hikaru tightly: "Don't worry, Kiki. This is a resource that I have reserved separately. I was afraid that one day the Senate would betray me, so I have been quietly stockpiling a lot of resources and manpower."
"Now that you have your territory, I will develop this place with the resources and manpower that I have, it can also serve as a safe place for me If the conflict between me and the Senate breaks out in the future."
Upon Hearing that, Hikaru nodded. He was not worried that Selvih would take over his domain because she wouldn't betray him.
Selvih raised her head and kissed him on the lips, and the two kissed for a long time, then parted.
After that, Hikaru told Selvih the construction plan and he also informed her about the territory. However, when it came to the infinite lake, Selvih couldn't seem to control her emotions.
"Kiki, is this lake really infinite?" Selvih asked Hikaru again.
Hikaru nodded and said: "Yes, this lake is infinite, besides, the water in the lake is all clean water. Even if you pour poison or waste into the lake, it has the ability to clean itself, so it will never be polluted."
Selvih looked at Hikaru in surprise, she said: "Kiki, you… you are holding a treasure in your hand."
"Hm?" Hikaru looked at Selvih with a questioning gaze.
Selvih sighed: "Haizzz, did you know that clean water is extremely rare? There are even many kingdoms and races that are still at war over a clean water source."
When he heard Selvih say that, He was startled. He didn't think that water was so important in this world. However, as he thought back he felt that what Selvih said made sense.
Misty World had been invaded by fog, so all the living things and plants had been polluted by the fog, of course the water was also polluted.
For all living things, food was extremely important, but water was indispensable and essential.
Because Hikaru received too much drinking water when he opened the resource bag, plus there was an infinite pool of water, he didn't pay attention to this matter.
After leveling up, Hikaru didn't need to eat or drink, so he forgot about drinking water. Now, when Selvih reminded him, he remembered this fact.
Hikaru sighed, he felt like he missed a lot of opportunities to earn money, ack, no, soul points.
It was because he didn't have enough information about this world that he missed out on so many things. However, now that he had Selvih and Anno's support, he didn't need to worry too much.
Selvih explained to Hikaru that Anno was in fact not just a flower vase, she told him that she had a very good Sense of business, so he could safely leave the financial management to Anno.
Hikaru thought about it, it made a lot of sense. Anno owns a hidden buff, so anything she does would be lucky, however, the area that could be affected by the hidden buff the most was finance.
After that, Hikaru finished distributing the work. Selvih was in charge of the entire territory, Anno was in charge of finances, and Saraya managed the safety of the territory so she would destroy the monsters or players who came near this place.
Tsuraguki and Vuni weren't here for the time being, so he didn't assign them any special missions, nor did he want to bring them back.
Tsuraguki was researching the Pharmacist Tower, and Vuni was helping him find more human resources.
After that, everything was taken care of by Selvih and Vuni. Of course, Hikaru didn't have any spare time, he also needed to make the perfect energy potion.
However, upon receiving the space bag from Selvih, Hikaru was startled because there were too many materials inside. According to his estimates, the space bag contained enough materials for him to make 100 million perfect energy pills.
But what was special was that Pharmaradius only hoped that he would deliver more than 60 million perfect energy pills. Which means that Pharmaradius thought that Hikaru's success rate was only 60%.
Hikaru found it amusing, however, he would not refuse if Pharmaradius provided a lot of medicinal herbs, but demanded less finished products than the ingredients that he provided.
Hikaru knew Pharmaradius was indebted to him because Hikaru had told Pharmaradius that the success rate for making the perfect energy potions was 80%.
However, Pharmaradius still only required a 60% success rate, which means that Pharmaradius had given Hikaru a large amount of perfect energy potion to use on himself.
With the Sacrifice skill, Hikaru's success rate was 100%, so he still had 40 million perfect energy pills left over for his own use.
Hikaru did not need to use too much time, he just used the Sacrifice skill on the space bag containing the ingredients, immediately and he received 100 million perfect energy pills.
According to Pharmaradius, one pill would sell for 250 soul points, 100 million pills would fetch over 25 billion soul points. However, Hikaru secretly thought that he would send the finished product to Pharmaradius, which was 60 million pills, and he would keep the rest to sell to other players at a higher price.
Based on the profit distribution, He would get 70%, while Pharmaradius would get 20% but he had to pay for the cost of raw materials, while Selvih would get 10%.
Currently, 60 million perfect energy pills were enough for Pharmaradius and Selvih to do business for a long time.
With 40 million remaining, Hikaru pondered and decided to take advantage of the status of the NPC Void Lord to sell it on the system. Anyway, the players couldn't replenish mana like Hikaru.
Hikaru was able to replenish his mana by absorbing soul points directly under Rika's guidance, and he received a 90% reduction in the mana needed to use the skill thanks to his Talent-The King. In addition, he had a bond with Saraya, and Saraya's Mana could continuously replenish him so he didn't need to worry about mana issues.
It could be said that Hikaru's Mana was almost endless.
The other players weren't like Hikaru. They couldn't replenish mana by using soul points that required a cooldown or potions.
Therefore, the perfect energy potion was an indispensable choice for most players.
However, there was a problem, most of the current players were too weak, so the number of soul points or their ability to find soul points was limited, so it was not possible to buy items that needed a lot of soul points.
Hikaru didn't understand why he felt like helping other players develop.
Yes, he thought that helping the other players grow would help him grow faster.
It was similar to developing a country, if all the people in that country were rich, then the country would be rich. If the people were poor, then the country would be poor.
However, this was also a double-edged sword, if the players grew beyond his control, they would overthrow him, and his NPC Void Lord identity would also be revealed.
Hikaru did not know how to manage the territory or run the kingdom, so he thought that this matter should be discussed with Selvih for the best possible result.
Hikaru put that aside for the time being, and went to give the finished products to Pharmaradius. Because he marked the location of the Pharmacist Tower, he was able to use the teleport skill to reach the Pharmacist Tower in a matter of seconds.
After delivering the finished product of the perfect energy potion to Pharmaradius, he was overjoyed that the quantity was just as he expected.
In fact, Pharmaradius at first thought that Hikaru was just bragging about the success rate of the perfect energy potion. He thought that Hikaru's modulation success rate was only about 40 - 50%.
However, when he received 60 million perfect energy pills, he knew that Hikaru's success rate was 60%.
Although it was 60%, and not 80% as Hikaru said, it still brought a huge profit for Pharmaradius.
The cost of the ingredients was very low, and it only cost about 2 soul points for a group of ingredients that was equal to 2 perfect energy pills. The ingredients to make 100 million pills cost him 200 million soul points.
However, the 60 million perfect energy pills that sell for 250 soul points each can net him over 15 billion soul points.
Pharmaradisu enjoyed 20% of the total soul points and it was equivalent to more than 3 billion soul points. He still deducted 200 million from the material costs, and he was left with a profit of 2.8 billion soul points.
After deducting the cost of hiring workers to sell the perfect energy pills and 5% profit for the Senate, Pharmaradius still earned about 2 billion soul points, which is a huge number.
Due to this, Pharmaradius felt extremely happy, and he wanted to give more ingredients to Hikaru next time.
Pharmaradius also did not believe that no one would buy the perfect energy pill. In contrast, the number of merchants who ordered the perfect energy potion upon hearing the news from Pharmaradius was numerous. Of the 60 million pills, more than 30 million had been pre-ordered.
At this moment, Pharmaradius was currently looking at Hikaru who was standing in front of him like a soul point making machine.
