010 High Quality Medicinal Dregs
Although Wu Wei knew there would be some kind of surprise upon clearing the 5000 Boar Slaughtering Slashes condition, he did not expect this.
Not only did Yellow directly acquire the Boar Slaughtering Slash, even his physical strength increased!
...Furthermore, he actually fulfilled the conditions for upgrading his grade!
What did this mean?
It meant that if Wu Wei so wanted, he could raise Yellow’s grade with just a single tap of his finger right now!
At this moment, Wu Wei was scarcely able to hold back his own finger from pressing down.
Fortunately, Wu Wei had not missed out on the ‘P.S.’ at the bottom.
“Does this mean that if I let Yellow advance now, the grade will differ than if I have him fulfil the conditions first?
“And… suppose I just press upgrade now without caring. In that case, the Runic Pill and Boar Hunting conditions will both be rendered invalid?”
Although his ‘cheat’ had never been explained to him, Wu Wei felt that would be the case.
And if that were to be true, Wu Wei could not allow Yellow to advance.
After all, Wu Wei felt that he would be able to quickly complete these two conditions.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. However, a method to catch more birds would naturally be even better if it existed.
Hence, Wu Wei quickly made up his mind. “Yeah, time to look for Brother Black Robe!”
…
Marketplace, Yuehua Academy.
Back to the same corner, in front of the same stall.
Wu Wei grinned at the black-robed stall owner in front of him.
The black-robed stall owner seemed to remember Wu Wei.
[What’s the matter?]
“I’ve acquired some loot from hunting monsters in the Runic World the past few days. I’ll give some to you as a return gift for those medicinal dregs!”
As Wu Wei spoke, he took out two transparent spheres of light from his [Book of Runes] and handed them to the stall owner.
“A wild boar rib and a wild boar trotter!”
The black-robed stall owner had not expected this and was a little flustered, not knowing what to write on the sign-in reply.
“If you see me as a friend, you are not allowed to refuse!”
The black-robed stall owner was flabbergasted.
Who was your friend, now?
If that was the case, then rejecting would be fine, right?
Just as the black-robed stall owner was seriously contemplating what to do, Wu Wei took out his [Book of Runes] and began carving a rune he handed over.
“Also, this is for you too!”
[What is this?]
The black-robed stall owner finally raised the sign.
“This contains the process of hunting runic monsters with your medicinal dregs. Your medicinal dregs are quite useful. For levels 10 and under, not even Elite Runic Monsters can withstand it.”
“Its main effects are causing monsters to have diarrhoea, dizziness, and lose strength in their limbs.”
“It’s a pretty good poison. You should start selling it.”
“The amount you gave me before in the bottle should be worth around 5 to 20 runic stones!”
Wu Wei had not once of taking the black-robed stall owner’s things for free.
For this reason, he had specially used the [Book of Runes] to record the process of using the medicinal dregs. It could be used as a video advertisement when selling.
The black-stalled owner was once again overcome with surprise and wrote six words down after a moment of uncertainty.
[Thanks, you are a good person.]
Wu Wei rubbed his nose, thinking that the black-robed stall owner’s vocabulary was lacking regarding compliments.
Those who understood him would know that he was giving a genuine compliment, but those who did not might even think that he was just being dismissive.
It made things feel a little awkward.
However, that was not important to Wu Wei. What was important was what he planned to do next.
“Do you have any other medicinal dregs?”
Wu Wei got to the main point.
The black-robed stall owner thought for a moment before taking out two pouches.
Wu Wei scanned the pouches, and their attribute windows appeared before him.

Description: Medicinal dregs that came about as a by-product in the making of Runic Pills. Although it doesn’t look very appetizing and has strong side effects upon consumption – such as causing diarrhoea accompanied by intense headache for a few hours – it can be used to temper one’s spiritual power and body.

Description: Make no mistake – this IS poison. If consumed below Level 15 and without poison resistance, you will die a painful death.

After checking out the two pouches of medicinal dregs, Wu Wei looked back at the black-robed stall owner.
The difference was that he now saw the stall owner completely differently.
Wu Wei had checked the properties of the medicinal pills on the black-robed man’s stall before, and… it could only be said that they were, at best, average. In fact, their quality was much worse than what other stalls sold.
He did not expect the black-robed stall owner who sold such poor medicinal pills to have such good medicinal dregs!
These were, in fact, high-quality goods and Wu Wei even felt a little embarrassed to ask for them.
After mulling over it for a while, Wu Wei finally spoke.
“Can I take a little bit of both to test out? Don’t worry. I will definitely record the process for you. They might even become a hot-selling product if the effect is good!”
[I’ll give them all to you!]
Wu Wei knew that the black-robed stall owner was gullible, but he did not expect things to be so easy.
Obtaining both pouches of medicinal dregs made Wu Wei so thrilled that he almost pounced on top of the stall owner.
However, when he considered that the stall owner should be a man, he resisted the urge to do so.
In the heat of the moment, he suddenly blurted out that he wanted to purchase 10 runic pills on credit!
Wu Wei realized he had gone overboard when the words left his mouth.
He had already gotten the medicinal dregs for free, and now he wanted to purchase runic pills on credit! 10, at that!
When the black-robed stall owner fell into silence upon hearing the request.
Seeing this, Wu Wei felt that he had ruined it. After all, even the gullible black-robed stall owner would not be stupid enough to open a tab for a stranger.
However, what Wu Wei did not expect was that the black-robed stall owner actually took out two bottles of runic pills and handed them to Wu Wei.
“You really will give it to me on credit?”
At this moment, Wu Wei was somewhat in disbelief.
“Aren’t you afraid I won’t return it to you?”
The black-robed stall owner shook their head and started to write on the sign.
[You’re a good person. You won’t lie to me!]
At this moment, Wu Wei had mixed feelings.
“Thank you. What’s your Runic ID? Let’s add each other as friends. Once I have the money, I’ll return it to you immediately!”
In the academy, Runic I.D.s were tied to the student’s Student ID and real name.
Getting ahold of the other party’s information was naturally beneficial for the creditor. Yet, the stall owner fell silent for a long time, seemingly reluctant to disclose.
After a long while, the black-robed stall owner finally relented and wrote their Runic ID on the sign.
Wu Wei added him immediately and noticed the black-robed stall owner’s avatar was a picture of the pitch-black night sky, and their nickname was:
[An Alchemist who is Striving to be the Best].
What an exemplary comrade with lofty ambitions!
Not long after adding the black-robed stall owner, Wu Wei left.
He had to quickly go and earn money to pay back the money he owed…
