Chapter 38

However, the learned and talented arcane mage Jia Lan was unable to resist the mutation effect of the huge and vast foreign knowledge system on him.

Faced with this foreign knowledge that attracted him like a magnet, he was like a traveler caught in a vortex, unable to extricate himself.

This knowledge was like a fine wine mixed with poison, exuding a fatal temptation. For Jia Lan, a polymath who had a strong obsessive-compulsive desire for unknown knowledge, this was simply an irresistible temptation.

He was like a traveler in the desert who was about to die of thirst. Facing the glass of wine with an alluring aroma, even though he knew it contained poison, he still couldn't suppress his urge to drink it up.

This foreign knowledge was completely different from the arcane knowledge he mastered, and was called "science" by his foreign friend who had annihilated himself.

As Jia Lan analyzed it bit by bit, this knowledge was like an invisible force, gradually infecting his soul and memory, quietly changing him.

Although the infection process was very slow, Jia Lan was horrified and wondered if the alien soul was going to use this method to expel his soul and achieve the purpose of resurrection.

For a spellcaster, the unknown does not mean "fear", on the contrary, the unknown often symbolizes "temptation". And Jia Lan was deeply attracted by this temptation and could not extricate himself.

Jia Lan knew that since he could not resist this temptation, he could only slow down the infection and mutation as much as possible before figuring out whether the alien knowledge system was harmful to him.

However, even if he tried his best to restrain himself from analyzing the alien knowledge, his uncontrolled thoughts would often unconsciously come up with all kinds of weird ideas and thoughts.

For example, in the past few days, the simple production tools he designed and manufactured were only the simplest and crudest things in the alien knowledge system in his mind, and they were not even the so-called "science" of alien knowledge. However, just such a small change in processing tools and production processes has subverted the potion configuration mode known to Jia Lan, making him feel deeply afraid.

He dared not imagine how terrible the changes would be if the complete so-called "technology" appeared in this world!

Although he had let go of the management of "Lemli Potion Workshop", put himself in the perspective of a bystander, and even deliberately stopped putting into practice the various ideas that emerged in his mind, the development of things still began to tilt in a direction he could not predict.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

He felt as if he had released an incredible foreign devil, which was frantically devouring the original "laws" of this world and strengthening itself.

The current potion production process of "Lemli Potion Workshop" has been jokingly called "assembly line" by the souls from foreign lands.

From the Mercenary Guild to the Iguana Fang Mercenary Group, from the Limeli Pharmacy to the Justin Pottery Shop, and then to the dozens of civilian pottery and wood workshops scattered near the civilian area where the Brown family is located, these seemingly unrelated existences seem to be cleverly connected by an invisible clue.

This invisible connection is called the "industrial chain" by those souls from foreign lands in a playful and accurate tone.

Although all this is just a very simple prototype of the foreign devil that emerged in his mind and was jokingly called "industrialization" by the foreign souls, the production efficiency it has shown has begun to ruthlessly destroy the original order and rules of this world like a storm.

Despite the influence of various complex factors such as raw material supply and transportation, under full-load production, the Limeli Pharmacy Workshop can still produce more than 75,000 bottles of [Micro-Effect Violet Cream] at an astonishing speed in just five days, and its low cost is even more astonishing.

Let's take a look at the specific composition of these costs: 15,000 small and exquisite pottery bottles only cost 30 gold talans; 150 sturdy and durable thin wooden boxes, each costing about one silver gumm, with a total price of no more than 15 gold talans; about 20 workers worked hard for a day, and their total salary did not exceed 10 gold talans; and the "edible resin additive" needed to prepare the ointment was prepared at an ultra-low price of four copper dandins per kilogram, and 20 bottles of ointment were prepared. The preparation of 15,000 bottles of ointment consumed only 750 kilograms, with a total value of only 30 gold talans.

As for the several auxiliary materials needed to prepare the ointment, the total cost was only five silver gumm per kilogram, and 15,000 bottles of ointment required only 150 kilograms, with a total value of 75 gold talans.

What's even more amazing is that the main ingredient of 300,000 bottles of [Micro-Effect Violet Cream] is only 150 30-year-old [Blood Mistletoe Vine], and the purchase price, including shipping costs, is no more than one gold talan. In this way, the total cost of 15,000 bottles of [Micro-Effect Violet Cream] is only 161 gold talans!

However, the value of these 15,000 bottles of [Micro-Effect Violet Cream] is so amazing! 5 silver jims per bottle, that's a full 7,500 gold talans! After [Kolan City] collects one-tenth of the tax, there are 6,750 gold talans left.

As an intermediary for purchasing materials and selling medicines, the "Iguana Fang" mercenary group has a 5% profit, so what is finally handed over to Jia Lan is a huge profit of 6,412.5 gold talans!

What can 6,412.5 gold talans do in [Kolan City]? It is enough to buy a small room of 25 square meters, or a small wooden villa of 300 square meters with a garden in the suburbs outside the city.

However, this is only the income that "Lemli Pharmacy Workshop" brings to Jialan in one day. Imagine if such income lasts for ten days, a month, or even longer, what a fortune it will be!

What is even more shocking is that all this was produced by a middle-aged woman who was originally just a housewife.

She created such an amazing miracle with her wisdom and hard work, as well as the invisible "industrial chain".

In this process, no person with pharmacist qualifications participated, which further demonstrated the advancedness and efficiency of the production process of "Lemli Pharmacy Workshop".
