Chapter 285 - Simple and Crude
Under the temptation of the Arcana Potion, the crowd did not even put up a proper resistance. They just announced their defeat. It took less than thirty minutes, and the effects were terrifying. As for the plea that Lin Li had long prepared, it was not even used at all…
After the thoughts of the seventeen forces were united, all that was left were the details. For example, when they would attack, their roles once the attack commenced, how the rewards would be split, or how the decision which family ended up with the Arcana Potion would be made. All in all, these were all negotiations with the stink of money.
Lin Li was never good at negotiations, so he tactfully passed on the topic to Gerian, and retreated back into the pharmaceutical lab long ago.
As to why he hid inside the pharmaceutical lab, it was not because he wanted to sell it after creating a hype. It was not that he did not want to meddle around after concocting the Arcana Potion—it was because he could not. This thing, frankly speaking, was just a bait. It relied too heavily on the Warlock Herb, and there was a need to assure the freshness of the Warlock Herb. Before they took back the Demon Fall Valley, Lin Li could only watch even though he had the standards of a pharmaceutics guru…
The thing he had to concoct now was some low-level potions, just like what he’d done before he left Jarrosus back then.
Actually, most of the time, potions were the same as spells. The lower the level, the more commonly they were used.
Lin Li opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and took out herbs that he had prepared long ago. He then set up the crucible and lit a flame. After that, he worked monotonously while being loaded down with trivial details…
“F*ck, you’re so arrogant. Be careful not to lose out!”
“Fine, then. Let us make an assumption, President. Let’s say we are all bandits that are good at being stealthy and hiding. Let’s say we depart in the middle of the night. Let’s say we have already sneaked into the Demon Fall Valley before anyone notices us. Then, President, could you tell me what we can do at that time?”
“What can we do? Of course we sneak an attack on them!” Gerian answered in accordance with what was right.
“President, please be mindful. Out of the 1000 people here today, at least 900 of them are mages. How can we launch a sneak attack on them?”
“This…”
“Additionally, don’t forget that the main attack power of the Shadow’s Nest comes from bandits that are good at being stealthy and hiding. If we really were to attack in the middle of the night, I wonder who would be sneaking an attack on whom. The reason why I chose this timing is to cripple their advantage by the largest degree possible. I don’t believe that the bandits of the Shadow’s Nest are able to stab anyone in the back in broad daylight—no matter how strong they are…”
“After listening to your explanation, it seems to make some sense…”
“What makes some sense? It makes a lot of sense, okay? Anyhow, just rest peacefully. Once we’ve reached the Demon Fall Valley, we’ll bombard it with magic. When the Demon Fall Valley has been flattened by the bombardment, the battle will end!” Lin Li’s simple words had decided this battle’s simple and crude tone.
