Chapter 89 - Ordering Potions (1/2)

“Really? That would be great!”

Chen Kaiyin was ecstatic. He was no businessman. To hell with profit. He genuinely wanted to prevent more meaningless losses of lives!

“I can’t get it done immediately. I’ll need a month, maybe two!” Jiang Fei said, after some thought. Although Small Health Points Potions were not very costly, this was the military. Militaries took stock in massive bulks. The game was still relatively fresh so it would be rather difficult for him to get a capital amounting to hundreds of thousands of gold coins. In a few months, he could gain a steady cash flow from his armor-making and buy as many Potions as he needed.

“No problem at all! Haha… On behalf of the country and the young boys, I thank you…” Chen Kaiyin laughed. Although a month of in-game time was quite a fair bit, it was the blink of an eye in real-life projects. People needed time to stock up on Cold tablets, even, let alone miracle potions!

“Cough cough…” Although Chen Kaiyin had been brought back from death’s door by Jiang Fei’s potion, he was still frail and weak. The passionate speech, paired with the massive laughter of joy opened up his wounds again. The old man dramatically coughed up a bout of blood.

“What the! Uncle Chen, please slow down a little there…” Jiang Fei quickly took out an Health Points Potion from the Spatial Ring and had Chen Kaiyin drink it.

“Phew…” Following a sigh of relief, Chen Kaiyin’s face was rosy again.

“This is really a godly potion… Previously, I drank it while I was still in a coma, so I did not get to see its effects firsthand. But this, this is something else! Haha, if the soldiers ever got their hands on such a potion, I wouldn’t mind dying of laughter. It would be worth it!”

“Ah Fei, don’t worry, the country won’t just take without giving anything in return. We’ll talk about compensation later!” At that moment, Han Tianyu interjected. His family’s Octopus Group still had its roots in the military.

“Yes! That’s right! Xiao Fei, I was so happy that I forgot to mention it. Although I don’t exactly know what this potion is, it has to cost a fortune. Even bullet grazes don’t heal overnight. You can be rest assured that we will not mistreat you!” Chen Kaiyin also laughed and said.

“Uncle Chen, you’re too nice. You and your men are already laying their lives down to protect the country. And nobody has ever returned you anything. It would be perfectly fine to contribute these potions freely!”

Jiang Fei shook his head.

“Alright! Ah Fei, Uncle Chen’s body is still fairly weak, he needs some rest. Let’s talk outside!”

After Han Tianyu and Jiang Fei said goodbye to Chen Kaiyin, they left the ward.

When they arrived at the lounge, Aaron patted down Han Tianyu to make sure that there were no bugs on him. Only after that, did Han Tianyu turn to Jiang Fei. He was uncharacteristically solemn and stern.

“I’ve already had this talk with Uncle Chen, but regardless of whether you can give us the formula of the potion or the finished product, they have to go through me first. Then, we’ll hand it over to the military claiming that the potions are products of the successful research and development of the Manda Group! I can pay you well for that, but you may not receive the honors! Brother, do you understand what this means?”

“Big brother Yu, don’t try to be the bad guy here. You have my thanks!” Jiang Fei nodded. If he was a silly, average Joe, he would have thought that Han Tianyu was taking the opportunity to steal his credit, but Jiang Fei knew that Han Tianyu was protecting him!

Jiang Fei knew his place. Being the sole producer of such a miracle potion could spell trouble. Various corporations, legal or otherwise would come after him. They would not ask nicely.

Some might even kidnap him and demand that he spill his secrets. By then, not even the mysterious ring would protect him.

Clearly, Han Tianyu had already done the math. Chen Kaiyin was also grateful that Jiang Fei had risked his secret for his sake. They had worked up a plan to keep Jiang Fei out of trouble. The research and development laboratory of the Manda Group would supply the potions to the military. That was perfectly justifiable.
