[Ace POV],

....

[Seller: Peter June],

[Job: Rank 1 Alchemist],

[Item for sale: Basic health pill bottle],

[Price: 13 Gold Coins],

[Description: A bottle filled with medical concocted pills that heals 70% of health for unranked creatures and 30% of health for rank 1 species],

[Quantity in stock: 40 pill bottles]

...…..

Well, what do we have here?

I knew the pills that were being talked about here were pills with 70% purity but that was not where my focus was on.

Aside from the fact that it was a pill, the seller drew the most of my attention. His job specifically.

An Alchemist.

Apart from being a job related to mine that also served as the foundation for my pending job, I also didn't forget that the Alchemist's job was legendary.

It's strange to come across the alchemist's job in this way, and looking at the pills he put on sale, I started to wonder why they weren't rank 1 pills instead.

'Perhaps it's because they're easy to make for his rank or something,' I reasoned as I rubbed my chin while thinking of a few things.

For one thing, basic health pills of 70% purity performed nearly identically to rank 1 health pills of 30% purity.

What distinguishes them is that the materials used to create the rank 1 pill are more powerful than the basic pill.

Powerful in the sense that if an unranked species takes the pill and then gets injured, they will still continue to heal due to the effect of the pill before it stopped, which is quite different from what the basic health pill words do.

In a nutshell, the rank 1 health pill was just more potent.

All of this is based on information in my head, so it must be personally confirmed, but based on previous experience, the knowledge in my head can be trusted.

But, at the very least, I know I'm not the only alchemist in the world.

I wasn't expecting to be the only one, but it's different when it's confirmed because I knew that the majority of people in the true world would not have jobs that didn't appear to be useful in combat, such as blacksmith, potion master, formation masters, alchemists, and so on.

In any case, I did wonder if I would ever meet any of these people, but that would have to wait until later because I was still unranked.

As I was thinking of this, I remembered the alchemist's name, dismissed the shop panel because I was done with what I was doing there, and went to the ranking section of my primordial chronicle and selected it.

I was going to check to see if the alchemist had an high rank and if so, what rank it was.

For one thing, I didn't know how one's strength was measured in the primordial chronicle's ranking leaderboard and if a non-combat related job could be in the top 100 as it remained a legendary job regardless, and after searching, I finally found out.

....

[68] Peter June (Rank 1 Specie)],

....

Given that the alchemist job does not require combat, this is a fairly high rank. The level of the alchemist itself may be low, and given that he is among the people whose names I don't recognize in the top 100, he is most likely not a king as well.

In any case, to be ranked 68th out of the entire human race, he must be powerful.

As I considered this, I dismissed the ranking leaderboard and returned to the store section to explore the auction sub option, as it was the last one on the store section that I hadn't thoroughly examined.

.....

[Auction],

[Explore], [Auction Item],

...….

When I saw this, I did what I did with the shop and chose to explore as a new panel appeared in front of me.

...

[Item Owner: Peter June],

[Job: Rank 1 Alchemist],

[Item for Auction: Rank 1 Berserk Pill bottle],

[Price rule: Increase only by 10 gold coins to bid],

[Description: A concucted pill that raises the overall strength of a rank 1 specie by 30% for 3 minutes and an unranked specie by 70%],

[Quantity in stock: 2],

[Owner's remark: If I do say so myself, this is a very difficult pill to make, but keep in mind that while it gives you strength, once the effect of the pill wears off, you will be in a state of weakness where 70% of your overall strength will be reduced for 1 hour. It's even worse for an unranked specie because the state of weakness will last for 3 hours and this is without having any of your strength. No complains later please],

[Current Bid Vaule: 450 gold coins],

...…

I see a familiar name again, this time with a genuine rank 1 pill.

The berserk pill.

It was exactly as the pill's description stated, as the pill can indeed increase one's strength for a limited time.

This was not the limit, however, because this particular pill had to be at least 30% pure. If the pills had a higher purity level, the effect would have been greater, as would the subsequent backlash, but even so, it could not be denied that this type of pill was a trump card for some people.

This was obvious because the bid value was steadily increasing.

The berserk pill, on the other hand, could only be refined by a rank 1 specie.

I really need to evolve quickly because, in addition to becoming stronger, evolving will finally allow me to make more pills worthy of the title of ranked pills.

There weren't many basic pills that were that useful.

As I considered this, I scrolled through the auction panel before leaving once I had a better understanding of it.

The shop and auction functions are extremely useful, and they appear to be very active based on the activities I've observed.

Particularly that alchemist.

Given the gold coins I see him earning, he must be very wealthy.

I used to think of alchemist as a high-paying job, but now I don't have to because it has been proven.

I suppose I should try putting some items on either sub option once to see how it goes.

Hmmm.

Now that my curiosity has been satisfied, it's time for me to get back to work.

As I was thinking about this, I went to the store's general sub option to buy materials for an item I already had in mind to use in the earth rat den.
