Chapter 1940 Wealth

?With Hecate's integration into Emery's subtle influence, the immediate pressure from Kronos was temporarily alleviated. However, a new urgency arose – the need for more spirit stones. The moon base construction had been in progress for three weeks, leaving Emery with a mere 10 days until the 5 million second installment payment to Master Borin was due. The stark reality that the Earth factions lacked the required funds was a source of frustration.

In a discussion about devising a strategy for quick wealth accumulation, Klea proposed with a sly smile, "What about tricking Kronos again? Force them to break the blood contract agreement and pay the 50 million."

Hearing this gives Emery a headache. Not only was Klea not joking, but he was actually tempted to agree. This shows how desperate they were.

Other than the production installments, they also needed to prepare for the defense barrier, and possibly add more Magus guards, including, if possible, a Grand Magus level. The 50 million coins would have resolved all of these problems.

"Let's go back to Golden City first," Emery suggested.

To handle the matter with Khaos, Emery had to take Cthulhu back with him from Terra City. Therefore, Emery opted to use the Nova ship for the trip. It would be best if he had the means to activate the waypoints in Terra City without having to leave the Khaos guardians. As of now, Emery had the opportunity for a leisure trip with Klea.

Three days later, they touched down in Golden City. Emery's immediate agenda was to explore the lucrative prospects offered by the apothecary, which had become his default plan for amassing wealth. His next destination was the Golden City Apothecary Center.

"Alright then, let's separate for now," Klea suggested with a smile.

[You received 1,850,000 spirit stones.]

Examining the newfound wealth, Emery couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction. "Alright, this should be enough to finance the initial batches of high-tier pills," he affirmed.

As he walks away from the shop, Emery passesan unfamiliar room that had eluded his notice in previous visits.

"What is this place?"

This circular hall held an intriguing atmosphere, with notes plastered all over the walls. Drawn by curiosity, Emery approached one of these notes and began reading its contents.

[Refining Heart Clearing Pills]

The note delved into the challenges faced by the Apothecary master in the pursuit of creating a tier 6 pill. Judging by the worn appearance of the note, it had occupied its spot on the wall for many years, serving as a testament to the enduring difficulties associated with the alchemical process.

Emery's eyes wandered to the note adjacent to the first one, revealing yet another apothecary problem. Much to his surprise, the room was brimming with dozens of high-grade apothecary dilemmas, each having stubbornly clung to the walls for years. While the intricacies of solving these issues were captivating, Emery acknowledged the pressing constraints on his time. However, a newfound revelation caught his attention – there was a number at the bottom of each note.

[2.1 million spirit stones] [1.5 million spirit] [3 million spirit stones]

These figures represented the lucrative rewards awaiting anyone who could successfully tackle and resolve the apothecary challenges. Realizing that this could be the optimal path to amassing wealth swiftly, Emery made a decisive choice to engage with and solve as many of these problems as possible.
