A Beekeeper in a Magical World

Chapter 145: Deep-Diving Magic Fish

Ten people, twenty people, fifty people, a hundred people...

As the members of the "Bee Whisperer's Hut" increased, voices began to emerge within the group.

"I'm the first!"

"This is my first time joining the circle, feeling nervous. Let me sing a song for everyone. [Voice]"

"??"

"Don't play the voice message! It's killing me!"

"Stop messing around, let's get serious. Where can I buy honey?"

"It seems the shopping section isn't open yet."

"Where's the shop owner?"

"Hurry up, it's urgent."

...

The Micro-Chat circle acted as an "online club" for enthusiasts to discuss and exchange ideas. The circle's owner served as the administrator, and sales were just one functional module within it. Here, whether communicating or trading, everything was far more convenient. Hua Mi had a more comprehensive grasp of information and data here.

Watching the numbers surpass a hundred, Hua Mi posted a message in the circle: "Welcome everyone to 'Bee Whisperer's Hut.' Before we begin, I'd like to say a few words.

"Firstly, please be prepared; our store's current inventory is limited and certainly can't meet everyone's demands. In order to let as many people as possible buy honey, there will still be restrictions on purchase quantities. Each person can only buy one bottle of each type of honey that's put on sale.

"Our store sells only pure, natural honey without any additives. The ingredient list contains only honey, posing no harm to the human body.

"This time, we will list two types of honey, and the prices might be higher. I advise everyone to consider their means and purchase cautiously."

Right after posting this message, a flurry of responses ensued.

The phrase "one call and a hundred responses" perfectly encapsulated the moment.

The two types of honey Hua Mi intended to list were the "Gifted Flower Honey" and the "Thousand Illusions Flower Honey."

At present, in his inventory, the "Gifted Flower Honey" had undergone two harvests, accumulating over a thousand bottles in total, with the third harvest not far off.

The "Thousand Illusions Flower Honey" had only been harvested once, amassing over five hundred bottles.

He decided to list one-third of the quantity for this occasion.

Both these honeys had quite noticeable benefits for ordinary people.

The Thousand Illusions Flower Honey exhilarated the mood, achieving more with less effort.

Aside from its alchemical benefits, the Gifted Flower Honey also provided mental replenishment for intellectual laborers.

However, mental capabilities were determined by both spiritual and physical strength. Merely enhancing spiritual strength had limited effects. In this respect, its effectiveness on Earth was far less compared to the other side.

As for the remaining two types, the Thunder Blossom Honey and the Feathered Illusions Bee Honey, they were less essential.

Their limitations were too significant.

For instance, the Thunder Blossom Honey's sole function was to induce the "electricity capacity" state, which might have been useful for employees in the electricity industry. This way, even someone not experienced for a decade in that field could gauge if there was electricity by just touching something.

Yet, this effect was somewhat advanced for people on Earth.

Introducing magical honey had to be gradual.

"Speaking of which, some of the built-in features of the Micro-Chat circle can be utilized."

For instance, the circle could be divided into "outer circle," "inner circle," and "core circle."

This was like a ready-made filtering mechanism.

Hua Mi explored and found the circle's filtering algorithm to be quite scientific and usable.

Those who could enter the core circle were undoubtedly devoted fans, and he could sell some more miraculous honey based on circumstances.

This was just a preliminary idea for now, to be further refined later.

Regarding pricing, the Thousand Illusions Flower Honey was set at 3000 yuan per bottle, while the Gifted Flower Honey was at 3500 yuan per bottle.

As Hua Mi had just mentioned in the circle, the prices might be higher.

For such unique magical honey, taking the luxury route was inevitable.

After setting up the briefs, prices, inventory, and checking everything once more, Hua Mi opened the shop section.

Members of the circle immediately swarmed in.

However, upon seeing the prices, many fell into silence.

"Quite expensive..."

"Why's it so pricey?"

"Boss, have you changed?"

"Are you insane for money?"

"Misread you, goodbye."

"It's alright, if the effects are as described, it's actually not that expensive."

"Um, I want to buy, but it's really a bit expensive. I'll wait and observe, read some buyer comments first."

"Rare things are valuable; if the price is too low, it raises suspicions. I think this pricing is reasonable; I believe in the owner's integrity."

"You guys think it over, I've already placed my order."

...

Some found it expensive, some deemed it acceptable, while others were observing.

These three reactions were within his expectations.

He didn't mind the circle members who left.

Putting away his phone, Hua Mi intended to go out and relax.

He had been busy in the otherworld recently, not having had a good stroll around town for a while.

He hopped on his bicycle, riding along the smooth cement roads of Huayu Town.

The streets were as desolate as ever.

It had been a long time since he had seen a lively scene in Huayu Town.

Finally, he stopped by a riverside.

This river was called the Fallen Blossom River, flowing across the middle of Huayu Town. In the past, it was crystal clear, often with flower petals floating on the surface.

Now, the surface was filled with foam, emitting a stench of wastewater.

Though in recent years, the authorities had become aware of environmental issues and began vigorous rectification, the destroyed ecosystem wasn't easy to restore.

The natural system was excessively complex, a delicate matter to handle.

"Alchemy purification or alchemical creations might be helpful..."

Hua Mi glanced around, ensuring nobody was watching, and discreetly retrieved the thick alchemical recipe notebook from his spatial ring.

He sat by the lake and started flipping through it.

He was flipping through swiftly, focusing on the effects of alchemical creations.

After about half an hour of flipping, his hand suddenly stopped turning pages.

This page documented an alchemical item called "Water Essence."

Its effect was to be placed in water, continuously purifying and cleansing it.

"Throwing a few of these into this river might reveal the extent of its effectiveness... starting the remediation process from the river."

He didn't know alchemy.

But he could get Hilial to learn it.

"Decided, the next alchemical lesson will be on crafting 'Water Essence'... Speaking of which, I wonder how she's utilizing the unicorn horn powder and if she has concocted any useful potions. This topic isn't progressing well without concluding it."

There was also the issue of materials.

A long list of materials was listed in the recipe, most of which were common resources. Only one core material was relatively precious

The eye of the Deep-Diving Magic Fish.

This material had an annotation beside it.

The Deep-Diving Magic Fish was a level-three fish-type monster inhabiting the lake's depths. It was characterized by several tentacles on its body

and six eyes arranged neatly in two rows on its face...

This appearance description seemed familiar.

Hua Mi pondered for a moment, and it immediately came to him.

Previously, while controlling a drone towards the Witch's Eye, he encountered that strange fish at the bottom of the lake!

What a coincidence.

Now that he knew where to find the material, half the problem was solved.

Hua Mi felt considerably relieved.
