Just like that, Lorne led Doge forward and explained the names, effects, and details of all the herbs in the warehouse.

Because these were all precious information, Doge quickly brought a book and recorded every word that Lorne said.

This was not a small project.

As the Alchemist Association of Iron Skull City, the warehouse here had accumulated countless medicinal herbs. Moreover, because Iron Skull City was at the border of the Empire, the unprecedented war had also begun here, so there were also countless medicinal herbs that were difficult to distinguish.

However, to Doge’s surprise, no matter how ancient and rare these herbs were, they did not obstruct the adventurer in front of him at all.

Almost all the herbs were easily identified by him, and he even introduced the source and special refinement methods in detail.

Time slowly passed.

Lorne stayed in the Alchemist Association for two days.. During this period, other than eating, sleeping, and using the washroom, he basically brought Doge to appraise herbs.

To be honest, such a game journey was very torturous, especially when everyone was training crazily.

However, Lorne was happy and in pain. The information about the increase in affinity that kept echoing in his ears raised his fighting spirit.

…

Ding!

“Congratulations on reaching 10,000 affinity points with NPC Doge. Doge’s attitude towards you is: Friend!

“Congratulations on reaching 50,000 affinity points with NPC Doge. Doge’s attitude towards you is: Admiration!”

“Congratulations on reaching 100,000 affinity points with NPC Doge. Doge’s attitude towards you is: Idolization!”

By the morning of the third day, the affinity between Lorne and Doge finally broke through 100,000. After all, he was the Guild Leader of the Alchemist Association in Iron Skull City and a high-level NPC. Lorne actually had 100,000 affinity points with him at this moment!

This was crazy.

With such a relationship, he could completely ask the NPCs to help him issue hidden missions or even invite him to work in his city.

At the same time, it was worth noting that compared to players, NPCs had higher loyalty. As long as there were no special circumstances, they would definitely not stand on the opposite side.

“My dearest friend, I think that in this world, there are no adventurers who are more friendly to the Alchemist Association than you.”

Doge had completely submitted to Lorne’s charisma. At this moment, he was like a student who had just entered a school. He followed behind Lorne and recorded everything he said.

After all the herbs were identified, he came to Lorne and said extremely sincerely, “My dearest friend, I sincerely invite you to join the Alchemist Association. I believe that in this honorable guild, your talent will definitely be of the greatest use.”

“In addition, I plan to edit the information about the medicinal herbs you just identified into a book of rare medicinal herbs. I will write your name on the author page. In the future, every alchemist who reads this book will thank you for your outstanding contribution. What do you think?”

“Sure.”

Lorne said, “However, I can’t join the Alchemist Association. In the future, I will definitely build my own territory and create an organization that will gather the top alchemists in the world. At that time, I hope that President Doge can consider coming to me.”

“If that day really comes, I will definitely not refuse.”

Doge looked at Lorne excitedly. If other adventurers had said this to him, he would not have cared, but this one was different. With his wisdom, he might really be able to complete such a magnificent feat.

“By the way, friend, I plan to print and publish your ‘An Introduction to Rare Medicinal Herbs’ book for all alchemists in the world to learn and reference. You can take 70% of the profits during this period. I will be responsible for organizing and arranging it. As the second author, I will obtain 10% of the profits.”

“As for the remaining 20%, I plan to set up an alchemist award. I will also name it after you, the ‘Tyrant Award’. I hope that the future alchemists will remember your great contribution to the alchemy world.”

Doge looked at Lorne with anticipation. This had always been his dream, and now was the opportunity. He wanted to obtain the approval of this friend.

“Yes, I agree with you.”

Without thinking, Lorne agreed.

Initially, he only wanted to gain some affinity, but who would have thought that not only was Doge preparing to help him publish books, but he was also planning to create a global award? How could he not agree to such a good thing?

Especially the matter of setting up an award, the progress of this matter could help Lorne reach the goal of “forming the world’s strongest alchemist organization”.

“My dear friend, thank you for your support. I’ll do it later.”

Doge was extremely happy. He carefully put away the book in his hand and looked at Lorne again, “Friend, didn’t you buy a batch of potions from us? Do you need me to help you get a shop for selling potions?”

A shop?

Lorne’s eyes widened at the word.

Previously, when he was checking the information of games, he had seen players operating shops. Their annual income exceeded 10 million alliance dollars.

One had to know that was an old game before virtual technology. Moreover, the number of players was only tens of millions. It could not compare to the billions of dollars in “Divine Realm”.

In those games, he could open a shop and earn tens of millions a year!

Then, if he opened a shop in the “Divine Realm”, wouldn’t he be able to directly earn a few hundred million?

Moreover, the shops in the game could be taken care of by NPCs. The players did not have to spend much effort.

In other words, this was an additional income for no effort.

In that case, there was no need to hesitate.

“Yes! Yes!” Lorne immediately nodded and asked, “Would it be troublesome to register for a shop in Iron Skull City?”

“If you have the identity of an adventurer, it will indeed be very troublesome, but I can let you become an Honorary Elder of our Alchemist Association. This way, I can directly hand over the shops under the guild to you to manage. Other than the basic ownership of the shops being the guild, the rest will be completely managed by you.”

“Of course, the monthly rental and employment fees of the shop need to be paid by you. In terms of profits, other than the normal tax deduction, the guild will not take any dividends.”

“No problem.”

Lorne had no objections. Compared to the income of the shop, the monthly rental and employment fees were nothing.
