From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

"We can't keep the potion production secret forever. We can only keep it secret for a year or two at most. So, to further create the illusion of preciousness, we might as well not release any of it. Instead, after releasing it, as the doctor just said, we can define the mineral sickness cure potion as a strategic material at the national level, releasing a small amount in exchange for various benefits from other countries. Furthermore, we can establish a medical company in Rhodes Island under the name of the Empire."

"People from other countries can purchase high-cost medical insurance from this medical company, thereby obtaining membership and enjoying medical services. The highest-level platinum members can enjoy medical services, including a cure for mineralogy."

"In this way, we can harvest the nobles and high-ranking officials of other countries at both the national and personal levels, using a two-pronged approach."

"As for the name of the medical company, let's call it Rhodes Island Trauma Team. The price of Platinum membership will be set at two million Imperial Coins per year. However, ordinary Platinum members who want to enjoy the mineral disease treatment service must make an appointment at least one year in advance. Only those who purchase Platinum membership for more than five years in a row can waive the appointment."

...

PS: There will be another update later.

Chapter 213: The Arrival of Envoys from Various Countries, and the Carnival Exclusively for the High-ranking Officials and Nobles of Each Country

The money of the so-called great nobles must be cut off, and the money of the small nobles must also be cut off.

The platinum membership price of two million imperial coins per year that An Xiu has subscribed to is just at the limit that ordinary nobles in the Terra countries can afford. The great nobles are even more generous. In order to avoid having to make reservations when needed, they will definitely buy more than five years at a time.

But the problem is that five years later, the production of the Imperial Ore Disease Cure Potions will probably have been made public, so no matter whether they are nobles of high or low rank, the money they spent on purchasing membership is doomed to be lost.

But it doesn't matter. After all, the purpose of An Xiu and others is to cheat people, so the more severe the cheating, the better.

The Imperial Coin is a unique currency issued after the establishment of the Holy Terra Empire. Its purchasing power is almost 1 to 1 with the Victoria Pound, the official currency of Victoria. That is, 1 Imperial Coin is equal to 1 Victoria Pound.

The purchasing power of 1 Victorian pound in Terra is roughly equivalent to 12 RMB in An Xiu's previous life, so the annual platinum membership price of two million imperial coins is just right for both great nobles and ordinary nobles.

In the conference hall, listening to Anshu and the Doctor's discussion on how to cheat the high-ranking officials and nobles of the various countries in Terra, Talulah and Amiya were unable to get a word in. After all, they were not good at cheating people, unlike Anshu and the Doctor who were full of bad intentions.

Fortunately, this topic did not last long. After all, it was just a short-term plan. A business like this where you can make a quick buck and run away does not require any long-term planning. The only troublesome thing is the confidentiality.

After the discussion, everyone dispersed and started to work on their own.

Just like that, half a month later, the news that the Empire had developed a cure that could completely cure mineral sickness spread like wildfire throughout the countries of Terra.

This news quickly caused a sensation in the countries of Terra, and many smart people among the top leaders of various countries thought of the meaning behind this news.

With the potion that can cure oripathy, the Empire is equivalent to having a banner that can command the infected. If the production of this potion is high enough, then there are countless infected people in the entire Terra who are willing to risk their lives for the Empire for a potion that can cure their own oripathy and thus free themselves from their infected status.

By then, the military strength of the already extremely powerful Holy Terra Empire will once again expand to an unimaginable level.

Fortunately, according to subsequent news, although the Empire released the news about the potion to cure mineral sickness, it did not take any action such as building a large-scale factory for production. Instead, it handed it over to a pharmaceutical company called Rhodes Island under the Empire for production.

Judging from this, the production of this medicine that can cure mineral sickness must be low, otherwise the empire should not miss this opportunity to expand the army and recruit cannon fodder.

So, while the countries of Terra breathed a sigh of relief, they immediately plunged into a carnival that was exclusive to the top leaders and nobles of each country.

After all, when production is low, isn't this medicine that can cure mineral sickness a privilege that only belongs to the high-ranking officials and nobles like them?

That's how it should be. After those lowly untouchables are infected with oripathy, they should just become consumables. The precious medicine that can cure oripathy is enough for the high-ranking officials and nobles to enjoy.

So, just as Anxiu and the doctor had guessed, after realizing that the precious medicine announced by the Empire that could cure mineral sickness might not have a high production volume, a large number of countries soon began to send people to the Empire, on the one hand to verify the news, and on the other hand to try to negotiate with the Empire in exchange for a share of the medicine.

Basically, all the well-informed countries around the empire sent people, including Leithania, which was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties with the empire not long ago and was warned by the empire. It also came over with a shameless face.

In response to this situation, Talulah followed the arrangements of Anxiu and the doctor and did not immediately pay attention to the envoys sent by these countries. Instead, she held a small meeting every three days and a large meeting every five days in the palace, pretending that she was discussing with the doctor, who was the prime minister of the empire, a specific plan on how to use the potion to benefit the empire.

Several days passed like this before Tallulah, the Emperor of the Empire, finally issued an order. The envoys sent by various countries were first gathered together and witnessed with their own eyes an infected person recovering after taking the medicine. Then, under the arrangement of the staff in the palace, they began to negotiate with the doctor one by one.

The entire negotiation process lasted for several days. During this period, the empire announced that it would release approximately two hundred doses of mineral disease cure potions every year in the future. In order to obtain a share of the potion, every country that negotiated with the empire paid a hefty price.

This is not the end. After the negotiations between the envoys sent by various countries ended, the Empire announced that it would establish a medical company called Rhodes Island Trauma Team. By purchasing the medical insurance of the Trauma Team and becoming a platinum member of the Trauma Team, one would have the opportunity to enjoy the mineral disease healing service at most once a year.

Suddenly, many nobles from various countries who originally thought that they might not have the opportunity to enjoy the mineral disease healing service counted their property and set out on the journey to the imperial capital. Each of them hurried as fast as possible, fearing that the number of places was limited and they would miss the chance if they arrived too late.

This grand occasion is expected to continue for at least several months in the future. However, due to the long time period, An Xiu did not pay any attention to it after the initial attention.

It has been almost a month since he sent Artoria and Meli to other worlds. Next, he plans to set off for the Suqing world to check the results of Artoria and Meli's hard work for him.

By the way, the products in the discount area of ​​the system mall are about to be refreshed. I wonder what good things will be refreshed this time.

"My points balance is still a little low. I hope nothing too expensive will appear."

"Since leaving the JOJO world, I haven't had any significant point income recently. Aside from the tens of thousands of points I earned from conquering Inazuma in the Genshin Impact world, the rest is all thanks to Makima's army of cursed spirits in the Jujutsu World, plus my usual acts of self-help."

“Although it’s not a small amount if you save it up, it’s hard to buy anything good without a large amount of points.”

"It seems that this time when I go to Suqing World, I have to see if there is any opportunity to make more money."

While thinking this, An Xiu opened the system interface and opened the portal to Suqing's world.

Chapter 214: Arriving in the Suqing World, Chris is Embarrassed

Suqing World, Belze Ancient Kingdom, Axel.

Located in the corner of a street in this medieval city, An Xiu's figure crossed the system portal and appeared here.

"Is this the Suqing world? Judging from the appearance of the nearby streets, I should be in Axel now?"

Glancing at the nearby streets, An Xiu guessed where he was.

According to the system's consistent nature, after using the time-travel function, if the world you travel to is a world with a clear plot location such as the Dicuo world and the JOJO world, then the place where An Xiu gets into trouble after traveling is basically where the key plot occurs. Even if you travel to a world with relatively scattered plot locations such as the Ark world and the Genshin Impact world, the system's time-travel function will usually directly send An Xiu to the vicinity of certain plot characters.

If we talk about the place with the highest proportion of plot and the most characters in the world of Suqing, it is undoubtedly Axel, which is nicknamed the City of Novice Adventurers at the beginning of the original plot.

If it were any other city that appeared in the original novel, the surrounding streets should have been more prosperous, at least not like now where all you can see are low houses, with no tall buildings at all.

This is also the reason why An Xiu made such a judgment after just one glance.

But it was just a simple guess after all, so to be on the safe side, An Xiu still released his perception slightly, covering the entire city in an instant and knowing the full picture of the city.

Obviously, Anxiu's guess was not wrong. This was indeed Axel, the city of novice adventurers in the original work.

"Then, let's go to the Adventurer's Guild first to see how the plot of this world is developing, and by the way, inquire about the news of Altria and Meli."

After confirming his current location, the next step was naturally to look for the clones that Anxiu had sent to this world more than half a month ago, namely Altria and Meli.

More than half a month ago, Anxiu sent Altria and Meli, whom he had materialized earlier, to this world for early development. For this purpose, Anxiu also specially used the system function to arrange the identities of royal family members and court mages for the two.

Even though the time is still short, with the abilities of Altria and Meli, plus the identity he provided, he should have achieved considerable results in this world by now.

And now that An Xiu is here, it is time to conduct a preliminary inspection of the results.

With this thought in mind, An Xiu walked towards the Adventurer's Guild.

Not far away from An Xiu, a figure was looking at An Xiu's back as he left, without blinking.

"That feeling just now...was it coming from him?"

"Looking at the clothes he's wearing, could he be a newly-reincarnated person?"

Chris, a girl wearing leather armor, with short silver hair and a small knife scar on her face that did not spoil her delicate features at all, but made her look even more cheerful, was now touching her chin with her hand, recalling the feeling just now and guessing.

Logically speaking, although she is an adventurer who is a thief on the surface, her true identity is Chris, or Eris, the god who governs this world. She should know the identities of all the reincarnated people who were reborn from heaven into this world.

But she really couldn't remember when a reincarnated person like An Xiu appeared in the world she managed.

Could it be that he was just reincarnated, and it was just because he was careless at work that he made an oversight?

Well, that's probably the only possibility.

Feeling guilty in her heart for the mistakes she made at work, Chris thought of the ultra-wide-range perception that An Xiu had just displayed.

Judging from my divine vision, the special sensing method I used just now can easily cover the entire city, right?

Could he have such powerful abilities just after reincarnation? But if she remembered correctly, the various abilities and props bestowed by the heavens to the reincarnated for rapid growth should not be too powerful in their initial state.

Could it be that without her knowledge, the abilities and props used by the heavens to help the reincarnated grow quickly have been updated?

Thinking of this, Chris took a step forward and followed in the direction Anxiu left.

Judging from the route An Xiu took when he left just now, it was obvious that he was planning to go to the Adventurer's Guild to register as an adventurer.

This is a common practice, and almost every reincarnated person who has just been reincarnated into this world will do the same.

However, if she remembered correctly, registering as an adventurer in the Adventurer's Guild required paying a handling fee. Although the handling fee was not much, for someone who had just arrived in this world, it was obviously impossible for them to have any currency from this world on them.

In this case, in order to raise enough money for the handling fee and living expenses for the next period of time, the only choice for most reincarnated people is to temporarily work at a nearby construction site to earn their first pot of gold. If the abilities and props given by heaven at the time of reincarnation are related to combat types, they can also try to hunt monsters and sell them.

However, judging from the situation just now, the opponent's ability should be of the perception type, which is very useful in the later stages, but it is difficult to be of much help in frontal combat in the early stages. It seems unlikely that he can hunt monsters, so the only choice is to work as a laborer at a construction site. If he can't afford a hotel at night, he may have to sleep in a smelly stable.

Of course, these all refer to situations where there is no one to help. If you hadn't seen it, it would have been fine. But now that you have met it, as a kind god who truly cares about her believers and ordinary people, Chris doesn't mind providing a little help to the other party.

After all, every reincarnated person is a candidate for a hero. The sooner they grow up, the sooner they can challenge the Demon King.

So, a few minutes later, in the Adventurer's Guild.

"So, you're saying that even though you were following me, you were actually trying to help me?"

Anxiu and Chris sat opposite each other at a table in the Adventurer's Guild.

And what he just said was naturally what An Xiu said to Chris.

Although to some extent, Chris did guess half of Anxiu's situation right, for example, Anxiu had indeed just arrived in this world, and he did not have the currency of this world on him, but the problem was that just like when he went to the wrong world, when going to the new world, Anxiu naturally could not be unprepared, and he did carry a few pieces of gold on him.

"Yes, that's right. I originally thought you were new to this city and probably didn't know the situation. You didn't have the fees to apply for adventurer status, so I wanted to come along and help you. But now it seems I was being too sentimental."

Chris, who was sitting opposite Anxiu, said this while waving her hands awkwardly.

She knew her words were suspicious. After all, how could someone stalk someone just to pay them to register as an adventurer for no apparent reason? Especially since she was a thief by profession?

Therefore, although what Chris said just now was true, if you put yourself in An Xiu's shoes, she probably would not believe such a flawed statement at all.

...

PS: I haven't watched Su Qing for a while. In order to write the plot, I was worried that I might have missed something, so I temporarily rewatched it. So today I only had time to write one update.

Chapter 215: The Kingdom Under Complete Control, from Meili's Life

However, to Chris's surprise, after listening to her words, An Xiu just hesitated for a moment and then nodded, choosing to believe her.

"I believe what you say, Miss Chris."

Unlike what Chris guessed, An Xiu knew Chris's identity from the beginning, and also knew her personality and character. Therefore, An Xiu did not feel angry after discovering that Chris was following him. Otherwise, he would not have let her follow him all the way to the Adventurer's Guild before choosing to expose her.

What Chris said was most likely true. At most, she was just hiding her identity as a god. Therefore, as a reasonable person, An Xiu was naturally unlikely to have any dissatisfaction when the other party approached with good intentions.

Both of them started out by coming to another world and following a goddess, but Anxiu's current treatment is much better than Sato Kazuma in the original work.

After all, Chris is not as useless as Aqua. Not only could she not provide any help in the early stages, but she also hindered him everywhere. On the contrary, Chris planned to use the money she earned as an adventurer to help him register as an adventurer, so that Anxiu would not have to work on the construction site as she wanted.

Compared to Aqua, Chris in front of him can only be said to be worlds apart.

However, Chris didn't know that An Xiu knew her character and background from the very beginning. So when she saw that he chose to believe her without hesitation even when facing her profession as a thief, which had a serious stereotype in the eyes of ordinary people, Chris felt a little embarrassed.

"You, actually believed it? This is not okay. You should be wary of strangers' words. Otherwise, you will be easily deceived."

In response, An Xiu just shook his head lightly.

"No, I don't believe everything everyone says. I just feel that Miss Chris is not a bad person, so I am willing to believe what Miss Chris says."

"Even if what Miss Chris just said isn't entirely true and she's concealing something, I still believe she has her own reasons."

"Ahem, such foul excuses are best left to those gullible little girls. They are useless against cunning thieves."

"I'm serious."

"..."

Chris held her forehead with a headache. She now felt that An Xiu in front of her was a problem child, and she felt even more worried.

Can someone with this kind of personality really grow up smoothly in this alien world for the other person?

Why is it that as the goddess of luck, the people I rarely come into contact with are never normal people?

While Chris was having a headache, An Xiu took the opportunity to glance at the hall of the Adventurer's Guild in front of him.

The entire guild was very clean. A large number of adventurers carrying various equipment and dressed in different clothes were sitting at the table drinking and chatting. Female staff members in work clothes would occasionally come among them. The notice board not far away was covered with various commissions and recruitment information for several adventurer teams.

Besides Chris in front of him, An Xiu also saw some other familiar faces in the hall of the Adventurer's Guild.

For example, there were two Crimson Demon girls, Youyou and Huihui, sitting in the corner, looking at the advertisement for the adventurer team recruitment on the bulletin board from time to time. Another example was Sato Kazuma and Aqua, who were wearing work clothes and looked like they had just worked for a whole morning and were here to relax.

Including Chris in front of him, except for Darkness, who is Chris's friend, and Wiz, the lich who is actually a cadre of the Demon Lord (anti-sensitive) Army and currently runs a prop shop in Axel, all the characters in the current story of Axel should have been present.

Moreover, since Sato Kazuma and Aqua are still in the part-time job stage, it means that there will be some time before the plot officially unfolds.

"By the way, I've noticed quite a few adventurers going straight to the second floor of the guild after finishing their drinks in the lobby. Why is that?"

An Xiu asked Chris in front of him.

Since he was here to gather information from the guild anyway, wouldn't it be better to just ask Chris, a local? This would save An Xiu having to ask others.
