319 7.47 Who Want To Be Billionaire...I Mean Herbalist Extraordinaire...

I asked the physician of the village about rearranging our attribute points and was told it is available only in the big city. I looked at the goods he was selling and asked if I wanted to get some herbs that would be beneficial in our adventures.

"Tell me more about your herbs and what it would do?" I asked the physician and he narrated about the basic tier of herbs starting from the mushroom.

"These fern mushroom would heal your health 3 points ever 2 seconds for 10 seconds. These shitake mushroom would heal 3 points for every 2 seconds for 20 seconds and the portabella ones heal 3 points every 2 seconds for 30 seconds. They are priced at 2, 4 and 8 gold coins respectively and their cooling time is 1 minute."

"Ginseng, Wild Ginseng and Ancient Ginseng would be healing you 5 points for every 2 seconds for 10, 20 and 30 seconds respectively and it will cost you 5, 10 and 20 gold coins. Their cooling time is 2 mins."

"These green algae, red algae and spirulina are different, it would replenish your Essense for 10%, 25% and 50% of your assigned attributes and it cost 5, 10 and 20 gold coins respectively. Their cooling time is 3 minutes."

"What would your choice be, young adventurers?" he asked.

"Uhhhh...we are merely asking around for the information that we need. Thank you so much. We will consider again next time, yes?" I replied and was half expecting a basketful if curse words from him but it turned out otherwise.

"No problem, my young adventurers. Glad to be of service to you. Please do come again if you have the free time, who knows, we might have some tasks for you to perform and we would give away a portion for you as a reward."

I performed a salute and noted to the physician who was obliged to help us identify the things that we need to know. I went over to the peddler and asked if he has a book kn Herbalism and he named a price of 1000 gold coins to me...!

"WHAT...?!? 1000 gold coins...?!? It's daylight robbery...! It's as expensive as an Excellent or Perfect attack skill..!!"

"Ah...its a controlled item for this tome, my young adventurer. Anyone who achieved this skill of Herbalism would end up as a Herbalist as well as a Physician. This is a highly prized tome and not everyone can afford it. This tome would be eligible to establish Herbalist a new sub-menu on the Character > Skills."

"Haissshh...let me go ask my young apprentice first and find out what he knows about these herbs or if he knew them at all in the first place. Thanks for letting us know the offer price of the tome..."

"Boss, do you want to learn to be a Herbalist? The tome was way too expensive and it's 1000 gold coins. Do you think it's worth its price and weight in gold?"

"Ring leader, it would be best to invest in something else...you keep dragging those plates and one day it would be left with nothing. How many plates do you still have there?"

"About 58k since we last bought the tomes and I've exchanged them for the money I gave you. I still have 1k plus left of gold coins for me to refine the weapon. Well... let us ask our Will if he knows about herbalism or not since he an avid grower."

We went back to our camp after 3 minutes on Cruising Along and found Will.I.Am was weeding and watering the plants. The crops are getting more healthier, most probably he got greener fingers than mine.

"Will, can you come here for a minute, sir robin wants to talk to you." Jean Lethal instructed Will.I.Am who was busy tending to the fruit and vegetable garden and arranging the compost near the mounds of earth.

"Yes, sir, what can I be of service?" Will.I.Am appeared before me with his fingernails covered with the compost that he had placed in the fruit and vegetable garden.

"How well do you know about herbs? I mean about mushrooms, algae and ginseng?" I asked as he sat down cross-legged before us.

"Not very much, sir. The only ones I know are those wild mushrooms that could be eaten with scrambled eggs and some garnishings. Why do you ask, sir? Would you want me to harvest some for you for our meals or use the spores to make a plantation for our future garden."

"I could make a few more pounds to extend the garden from this side onwards." Will.I.Am pointed to the spot before the fruit and vegetable garden that is now lush with greens. It would be a week before we can start harvesting some of them.

"Hmm, Will...do you know the properties of these mushrooms or not? I mean their properties in healing and making some kind of concoction to replace loss Essense?"

"Not really, sir JL, I know these to make food and I am able to differentiate those edible and poison ones. Not really poison ones that can kill on the spot, but just makes you quest and vomit all day long."

"Hmm, tell me more about mushrooms. I need to know more about them." I said as we all got ready our notepads and pens to take down important notes.

"Those mushrooms or fungus such as incolours of white, yellowish or slightly black or totally black, are edible and they are called fern or black fungus respective and grows on rotting branches."

"After a rainy day, some mushrooms would sprout with a plain brown colour top and these are edible. Just avoid any other colours I mention just now, sir."

"Algae are those grown on tree barks are not suitable for consumption, algae found in the rover or sea, clinging to rocks and the aide banks are edible after a drying process. They are so-called weeds that contain a lot of nutrients, just avoid those on stagnant waters."

"Ginseng is abundance here in the forest and I had seen their distinctive 5 leaves low shrub with either white or red flowers. I could pick these leaves for you to see and there are 2 variations to this. Don't mistake it with a poison ivy shrub. These ginseng shrubs only grow up to ankle-high and anything above it is just it's a lookalike."

"Give me 5 minutes and I fetch you the ginseng leaves to put it in your notepads so you would remember them." Will.I.Am said as he soon left running towards the forest and returned with the ginseng leaves and the rhizome that looked between galangal and also ginger but had longer kind of thin tuber-like form.

"Sirs and ma'am, these are the Ginseng leaves, stem and root I'm talking about. There's an abundance of them growing in the forest and there would be a shrub here and there with one or more ginseng root. This is a slow-growing plant and would take some weeks before the leaves and stem could be harvested."

"Remember what the physician said about ginseng that costs 5 gold coins that have healing capabilities of 5 points every 2 seconds for a period of 10 seconds and a cooling time of 2 minutes? I've just had a brilliant idea... Hahahahahaha." I laughed hysterically with a money-making glint in my eyes.
