Chapter 4053: Chapter 4072: Ten Portions, No More

After the dinner party ended, Lin Kai and Han Yunxi bid farewell to the people and left hand in hand.

Lin Kai had come specifically for this competition, and his girlfriend Han Yunxi had even taken leave to accompany him. Now that the competition was over, they planned to return to the East Third District.

Lin Chen and Lin Kai exchanged contact information, but both thought that unless they purposely kept in touch, the opportunity to meet again would be unlikely.

Although the two did have a connection, their life trajectories were too different. For Planet 11, Lin Chen was just a passerby.

"Brother Chen, are you planning to go to the Huang Family?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, such opportunities are rare, so I have to give it a try. As for the Zhang Family, let’s not mention whether it’s smooth or not; even if we manage to get the potion, we can’t guarantee it will be effective for all of us."

"If we can master the formula for a level 8 promotion potion, then we will have enough initiative in the future. Whether we use it ourselves or exchange it with other families, we will have options."

"The Huang Family is heavily surrounded and monitored now. It’s difficult for others to take people away from these forces, but for us, it’s simple. With Charming Erosion, we can accomplish this silently and tracelessly."

The three women immediately understood Lin Chen’s idea upon hearing Charming Erosion.

The Huang Family is heavily monitored now, and even though they have many methods, it’s probably difficult to infiltrate silently and take people away silently. But if Charming Erosion comes forward, she can completely enter and leave openly, taking people away without a sound or trace.

If the negotiations with the Huang Family go well, they might get a prescription right away—a prescription valuable enough to pass down through generations! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The Huang Family had previously purchased drugs and produced potions multiple times, indicating that this potion is not an obsolete formula. As of now, it is still manufacturable and effective.

Yao Xuanji nodded: "When shall we go?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Tomorrow. It’s not far from East Second District to East Third District, so it won’t take much time."

"Alright!"

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Chen and the three women were about to set off but suddenly received a phone call from Zhang Zhongjiu.

"My aunt wants to meet you."

Lin Chen answered straightforwardly, "Time and place."

"I’ll send you the details."

After receiving Zhang Zhongjiu’s information, Lin Chen said with a laugh, "We’ll need to adjust our plan slightly. Let’s meet Zhang Zhongjiu’s aunt first."

Yao Xuanji laughed: "Are we going together?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "No need. I’ll go by myself. You can rest at the hotel and wait for my news."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen set out alone and soon arrived at the agreed location.

Zhang Zhongjiu came out to greet Lin Chen and then led him into a quiet courtyard.

This was a tea estate.

In the private room, Lin Chen met Zhang Zhongjiu’s aunt, a tall woman in a suit who looked serious and quite authoritative.

The tall woman stood up and extended her hand: "My name is Zhang Hanying, Zhongjiu’s aunt."

Lin Chen extended his hand to shake hers: "Lin Chen, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Lin, please take a seat."

After the three sat down, Zhang Hanying asked straightforwardly, "I heard from Zhongjiu that you went to Planet 472 and got a lot of pheromones?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, we stayed on Planet 472 for a long time to get this batch of pheromones."

Zhang Hanying’s eyes shone as she focused on Lin Chen: "How many?"

Lin Chen replied: "Forty."

Zhang Hanying’s eyes brightened: "How did you manage to get so many? Those are all level 8 foreign beasts..."

Lin Chen glanced at Zhang Zhongjiu, who explained in a low voice: "They have an Immortal Dao Divine Power similar to Wormhole Shift; they can teleport long distances."

Zhang Hanying nodded, accepting Zhang Zhongjiu’s explanation. Actually, she was just making small talk as an entry point to the main topic. After all, the items were already brought, and asking this wasn’t practically significant, or maybe the only significance was understanding these people’s special abilities.

Others can’t do it; what gives you the ability to?

Zhang Hanying said cleanly: "There are too many; I can’t make you a whole batch because the manufacturing rights are with the Clan Chief. Although I’m a family member, if I want to make something, I can only apply to make it. It’s not like I can just make however many I want."

Lin Chen nodded: "How many can you make?"

Zhang Hanying answered: "Zhongjiu has explained the rules to you, right? The Zhang Family wants half, and from your share, we’ll take one."

Lin Chen nodded: "He has, and I accept."

Zhang Hanying stared at Lin Chen’s face: "Ten at most. Beyond ten, there might be problems."

Lin Chen furrowed his brow; ten was a bit too few.

But upon calculation, if it’s ten, then he could get four, which would be perfect for the four of them to each have one potion. Not bad.

If one of the four could promote to level 8, they could deal with others, and the weight would be greater.

Since he had the materials, as long as he had the recipe, there would always be a way to convert it into a potion.

After calculating, Lin Chen readily agreed: "Alright!"

Zhang Hanying nodded: "You hand over the items to us. If the pheromones you’ve collected qualify, we’ll definitely be able to make ten, and you can get four."

Lin Chen nodded and fixed his gaze on Zhang Hanying: "No problem. I’ll follow all the rules you’ve set, but I need the potions I receive to be genuine."

Zhang Hanying furrowed her brow and glanced at Zhang Zhongjiu beside her.

Zhang Zhongjiu nodded: "I promised them."

Zhang Hanying nodded: "Alright, we can do that."

Seeing their exchange of glances, Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask: "Judging by your expressions, do you actually give fake potions when you aid others in pharmaceutical work?"

Zhang Hanying answered calmly: "The raw materials are very precious, and not everyone is as capable as you. One potion could produce a Level 8 Martial Artist, and its value is very high."

"Under normal circumstances, if more than three bottles of potion are produced, one might turn out to be a defective product."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows: "Defective product?"

Zhang Hanying explained: "Not entirely fake, but a defective output in the production of approved potions. It still has some potential for promotion, but due to purity issues, the probability is slightly lower."

"If the number given to others is slightly more, defective products can be mixed in, and since the probability isn’t 100%, even defective products have a chance of promoting successfully."

Lin Chen nodded: "I don’t care how many defective products you produce; I only want the approved potions. Stick to our agreed terms, and I just want genuine ones..."
