After the anesthetic given out by the Medical Center had reached Su Chen’s hands today, he began to wonder if it could be used to deal with the alpha.

Recalling that he had taken the powder to eliminate the body odor from the old hunter’s house last time, he had the idea of coming to his house to try his luck. The hunter had been dealing with wild beasts and magical beasts all year round, he must have had a lot more experience in dealing with them than he did.

After listening to Martin’s introduction, Su Chen was quite satisfied. Originally, he had only wanted to try his luck. He did not expect that this old hunter would really give him a surprise.

The snake venom should have retained at least a large part of its toxicity in the old hunter’s eyes.

This added another method for him to deal with the alpha.

“Sell this box of snake venom to me, Martin. It is of great use to me. I will not treat you unfairly.” Su Chen looked at the old hunter with grizzled hair in front of him and said to him in a sincere tone.

“Mayor, you are treating me as an outsider. If you need it, just take it. Don’t talk about buying or not. It is my honor.”

Although Martin had been rejecting Su Chen’s good intentions, Su Chen still forcefully ordered him to take two gold coins.

“Martin, I owe you a favor. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can look for me directly.” Su Chen knew that if this snake venom was really sold in a big city, it would definitely be worth a lot.

This was a treasure of the old hunter. It was no longer something that could be measured by money.

Therefore, in addition to giving him two gold coins as a living allowance, Su Chen also made a promise to him.

Martin could not disobey Su Chen’s order, so he had to take the gold coins.

“I still have a bottle of anesthetic here. I want to test its power. Martin, do you have any good recommendations?” Su Chen wanted to test the power of the anesthetic rewarded by the system, it was a good time to ask Martin.

“I suggest you find a large animal to try it first. After all, the dosage of this drug has a lot to do with the size of the animal. The cattle raised in the town is a good choice.”

“It’s a good choice, but I would like to test it on Magic Beasts. Are there any weaker magic beasts nearby?”

“Since the magic beasts attacked, the weaker magic beasts have all migrated away. The only ones left are stronger magic beasts like the forest wolves.”

Su Chen thought about it and agreed. He had no choice but to test it on ordinary livestock.

“Alright, help me wrap this snake poison more tightly. When you have time, help me send it to the castle. I’ll go to the east side to test the effects of my medicine.”

“Okay, mayor. Don’t worry. I’ll send it to you in a while.”

After Su Chen finished his instructions, he got up and left. He had been traveling a lot today.

“Go and test the effects of the medicine. Then go back to the castle and take a comfortable hot bath.”

In a breeder in the east of the town, Su Chen had told the head of the household that he would do an experiment and promised to buy the cow back to the castle at a high price if it died. He would not let him lose money.

Su Chen grabbed a handful of fresh grass and dripped a small drop of mutated anesthetic on it. He mixed the strongest bull and fed it to it.

When he opened the lid of the anesthetic, he did not deliberately smell it. He only felt a little numbness when he breathed it in. He immediately covered the lid tightly to prevent any accidents.

The strong bull would never refuse the grass that was handed to it. It took a bite and began to chew. Su Chen was observing its reaction from the side.

When the bull chewed for the third time, it stopped moving. Its huge eyes lost their luster. It did not have time to swallow the grass before it fell straight down.

“This drug seems to be surprisingly effective.”

“Sure enough, the system’s anesthetic is very powerful. I wonder how effective it is against the alpha.”

..

In the evening.

The small town’s taverns were bustling with activity.

Many residents of the town liked to come here to chat after they had their fill. The poor liked to order a cup of tea and sit around and brag.

As for the town’s militia and construction team members, they had enough salaries to order a large cup of low-quality barley wine to relieve the fatigue of the day.

“Bobby! You lucky guy, I’m really envious of you.”

Walter from the militia took a big gulp of beer and complained loudly. He was originally a hunter in the town, but now that he joined the militia, he was doing quite well.

However, Bobby, who was also a hunter, had awakened his battle spirit seed and now became an attendant knight.

“Haha, Old Walter, you father and son are both receiving high daily salaries in the militia. Why are you still jealous of me? You and I are both working for the Lord, aren’t we?”

As soon as these words were said, everyone in the tavern nodded secretly. Bobby raised his glass and took a deep breath of the wheat fragrance.

“I still remember the last time I drank barley wine was six years ago. I’ve forgotten what it feels like. It’s all brought by the Lord. So for this first glass, I’d like to propose a toast to the Lord Mayor!”

After saying that, he raised his glass and gestured in the direction of the castle, finishing the large glass of beer in one go.

Bobby’s forthright action resonated with the people in the tavern. One after another, they raised their glasses in the direction of the castle to show their high respect.

“To Lord Su Chen!”

The continuous development of the town had brought a large number of jobs. With jobs, the residents of the town would have an income. Although they were busy and fulfilled every day, they felt that their days were getting better and better, they had expectations for their future lives.

At this time, the door of the tavern was pushed open.

The creaking sound attracted the attention of a few people.

“Eh? Isn’t that Lord Maggie? What are you doing in the tavern so late at night?”

“It’s the administrative officer, that’s right.”

The boss behind the bar counter also saw Maggie at this time. He wiped the water stains on his hands with his apron and greeted him politely.

“Haha! Welcome, Lord Maggie. Please have a seat, please have a seat!”

“Ahem, I won’t drink today. I’m here for business. The tavern is quite lively every day. I’ll put up a notice at your door.”

Maggie waved the notice in her hand, attracting a small group of people to follow Maggie to the outside of the tavern. They wanted to see what the notice was.

[ City Hall notice

The construction team of Lake Town will be expanded next month. 30 male construction workers will be paid 30 copper coins a day, and 10 female logistics workers will be paid 20 copper coins a day. Those who are willing can go to the city hall to register.

The militia will continue to recruit people. Those with outstanding talent will have a way to advance to a Knight. ]

When the notice was posted, many people in the tavern became excited.

“Lord Maggie, is there any big project coming up? Can you tell us about it?” A strong man who was not selected by the construction team last time asked Maggie..
