Chapter 69 – Recovery Potion (2)

It was nice to see that the content was updated.
That’s what happened after meeting me.

I wondered what effect my encounter with her had had on her.
At least on the spot, she was pretty emotionally charged.
It will have no choice but to be.

It wasn’t anything else, it was because it exposed the part of her body that she wanted to hide the most.
It would have been hard for her to hear such a story if she hadn’t told her about Park Da-in’s work.
The fact that Park Da-in killed a person must have made Choi Joo-ri feel cornered.
I’m sorry about that, but anyway, Choi Ju-ri was the person I needed to save.
She wasn’t obsessed with other people’s affairs, she was the goal of my quest.
We can go the path of blessing together.

Since only one day had passed, the contents of the ‘Book of Truth’ were short.
And after reading it, I clenched my fists.

It was clear that Choe Ju-ri wanted to get away from Park Cheol-gwan.
And the key to doing so was to secure a funding line for the business.
From the contents so far, it can be seen that Choi Ju-ri’s father made a lot of investments for the business, and when it was bearing fruit, the business suddenly began to decline due to the funding line being blocked.

That’s usually something that’s hard to happen.
A company that has been gaining a reputation for being recognized for its award-winning career abroad suddenly has its funding line blocked.
Rather, it was the opposite situation.
Of course, there must have been a reluctant operation behind it.

I thought that the culprit was Park Cheol-gwan, and it was clear that Choi Joo-ri was secretly thinking the same way as me.

‘Fund line…’

Of course I have no money.
It was clear that the money to support a company like GP that was already on the way to success would be astronomical.

However, a conversation Choi Ju-ri had with her vice president became a hint.

‘Items like potions…’

It gave me a thunderbolt of inspiration.
There is no Hunter who does not use potions.
What the vice president wanted to say was that unless GP developed a product that sold so much and consistently, it would be difficult to raise solid funds.

That’s right.

I thought I should meet Choi Ju-ri again.

“What’s the matter? Are you suddenly asking to meet?”

I went to the GP headquarters office to meet Choi Ju-ri.
If she recognized her quiet place to meet me, she thought, that in itself could be a sign of something bad.
It was not a bad choice to go to the company because it was to talk about business, not for any other purpose.

However, Choi Ju-ri seemed a bit awkward when I contacted her and visited her.

That would be the case, it was already the third time we met in a short period of time after we first met by chance.
No matter how much they liked each other, it was not an ordinary thing.

“It is because of work. There is something I want to discuss.”
“Work?”

Choi Ju-ri blinked her eyes.

“Yes, there is a recipe I know, but I was wondering if I could commercialize it.”
“Recipe…?”

Her expression darkened slightly.

Also, the recipes Hunters personally use weren’t that rare.
I like to mix and match items to suit myself.
The reason for doing so was simple.
Because there is no product on the market that is 100% right for you.
It was common to use them in combination despite the inconvenience.
It was also because the versatility of their abilities was as wide as the number of hunters.
In other words, the constitution is different.

Not all items could be manufactured and sold according to the many constitutions.

In a word, manufacturing is impossible because there is no marketability.

Some hunters think that the formula they discovered will surely turn out to be a jackpot, so they plan to commercialize it, but any product will not sell if demand is low.
Moreover, it was impossible to set a high price for a product for the few.
Because it costs less to use your own recipe.

It was Choi Ju-ri’s expression that contained such thoughts.
I fully understood her feelings.
Besides, I was a 20-year-old college student.
Being recommended to Gaon Academy did not change that fact.
Rather, there was a possibility that he became arrogant because he was better than his peers.
Moreover, since I personally knew the owner of a company like GP, my arrogance was more likely to grow.

‘I’m not that kind of kid…’

Choi Ju-ri’s expression clearly showed her thoughts.

“I won’t take up too much of your time.”
“Okay.”

Choi Ju-ri, who returned with her unique mild expression, said.

“What?”

I asked lightly with a face that wanted to listen.

“It’s a potion.”
“Portion?”
“Yes, it is a potion that can be used for a rather special purpose.”
“Hmm…”

Choi Ju-ri’s expression became ambiguous.
Since potions are what all hunters use, there are many different products on the market.
In other words, it is already a red ocean.

I put the ‘recovery potion’ I made in front of Choi Ju-ri.
Choe Ju-ri picked up the bottle and she looked closely at it.

“Did you mix a normal potion with a mana potion?”

As she is also the representative of the company, she was the one who could find out her ingredients with the naked eye.

“Yes.”
“Keep talking.”

Even if she knew this far, she would already have reason to be disappointed, but Choe Ju-ri asked patiently.

“It is a potion used for training purposes. It’s a potion that can so-called excess recovery.”
“Excess recovery…?”

As expected, Choi Ju-ri immediately understood the meaning of the words.

What all hunters yearned for the most was growth.
Hunters were the ones who would do anything if they could grow.
Excessive recovery was meant to increase the effectiveness of training.
If it was an item that could be consumed as easily and often as a potion, it would probably sell like hot cakes.

“It’s not perfect. Drinking will make you feel very hungry and tired, so you should eat a lot and go to bed right away.”
“That’s how effective it is. Have you tried it yourself?”
“Yes. I’m sure it’s because I’ve tested it on my own. I also gave it to Hyeyeon. She had the same effect on Hyeyeon.”
“Did you figure this out yourself?”
“Yes.”

After graduating from college in my previous life, I joined a guild and heard the recipe from a senior there.
However, there were no hunters using the ‘recovery potion’ at this point.
I already checked it before coming here.
If the ‘recovery potion’ is a popular recipe, the community will be able to confirm it.
After spending some time researching, it’s clear that this recipe doesn’t exist at this point.

“Hmm…”

Choi Ju-ri was intrigued by her deep curiosity.
As she was not a hunter, she could not confirm the effect of this on her own body.

She was the one calling someone right away.

Before long, the woman who knocked on the door and entered was a woman in her mid-late 30s wearing a white coat.
Even without being introduced, I recognized that she was the vice president of the GP mentioned in the ‘Book of Truth’.
She was surprised to find that she was younger than expected.

She is probably a hunter with a specialty in this field, and she must have caught the attention of her father, Choi Ju-ri, and she worked with him.
If I had started working in my twenties, I could understand why I am at this age now.

I activated ‘Scouter’ and looked at her information.

=====================

‘It’s class A.’

It was no wonder that her stats were generally low.
Because it is clear that her class is the so-called ‘artisan’.

Hunters specialize in the ability to develop and create equipment, weapons, and items for hunters.
These hunters have completely different knowledge and senses from the time of awakening, and have developed things that ordinary people cannot access with extraordinary ideas.
A-class artisans were never common.
It was easy to predict that this woman’s contribution to the GP’s success would be enormous.

Besides, the two special abilities this woman possesses…

I’m not sure if it’s the highest level, but both are level 5, which is quite high.
It meant that he was an A-level or higher craftsman.

“Why did you call me?”

Mi-ra Kang asked Joo-ri Choi with her curious face.
She also turned her gaze to me, whom I had never seen before.

“Sister, can you analyze this?”

Choi Ju-ri held up a bottle of the recovery potion I made.

“What is that?”

Mira Kang came over and sat down next to me.
She accepted the potion bottle from Choi Ju-ri.

Raising her glasses, she peered into her potion with her serious eyes.

“There’s nothing special about the ingredients… The potions you combine are also common.”

Without hesitation, he opened the lid and drank it.
