Chapter 146 Course Of Actions

Since yesterday after receiving his subordinates report, Pavilion Chef Maxwell racked his brains out, thinking about the young woman's ident.i.ty and when did he offend her. But in the end, he found that he couldn't recognize her features. Among the clans that he offended, none of them possessed such unique features as Grace.

Elder Rudolph thought the same, and he invested his wealth in information gathering. But despite hopping over numerous information brokers, apart from the fact that Grace arrived in here with a caravan of medicines, other information about here didn't exist.

This mystery creeped him out; what is the origin of this young woman, and why is she so mysterious? In the end, Rudolph safely concluded that the young woman didn't have any significant background behind her. Or else, why would she join such a shabby a.s.sociation instead of establis.h.i.+ng her own?

"Pavilion Chef, I don't think that she has a background behind her, she should be a calf that doesn't fear the tiger..." Elder Rudolph reported his findings and Pavilion Chef Maxwell mostly agreed with it.

Now that they found that Grace's background was non-existent. It was time for them to display their might and dominance. With a series of orders, Maxwell and Rudolph instantly crippled the Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation's only source of income.

Without a buyer, how could the a.s.sociation possibly survive?

Though their supply of raw ingredients diminished, the Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation wasn't the only supplier available. Why would they support those who dared and offended them?

Staring right into each other's eyes, Maxwell and Rudolph shared a mutual smile and continued their meal.

Back inside the lounge of the Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation; Grace stared at Dan with a solemn expression on her face, Dan's plan was too daring, yet it was plausible and could possibly damage the Medicine Pavilion to its core. However, establis.h.i.+ng an influence that could compare to the Medicine Pavilion wasn't something that could easily be done.

One needed reputation, wealth and manpower to accomplish such things. And in this list, reputation was checked, but regarding wealth and manpower, Grace had the manpower, but the three of them lacked wealth. The Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation's measly fund used in maintaining the vast Garden of Eden couldn't possibly support such endeavor.

Dan understood this problem, however, why would he declare such things if he didn't have a plan in following through it, lifting his head, he stared at Grace and said, "Consider the problem about Wealth as solved. However, we do not have enough manpower, and to stand against the Medicine Pavilion, we cannot possibly fight against them in head-on battle..."

Natalie nodded her head in comprehension. Grace looked like she had more questions to ask but Dan cut her off, "Grace, you go sleep, for now. We'll discuss the intricacies of this plan after you're well-rested." Grace wanted to oppose him but witnessing his pensive look, she nodded her head and obediently retreated into her residence.

Walking back to the Fragrant Peak Pavilion, Natalie nudged Dan's shoulders asking about his course of actions, but Dan merely smiled and said, "It's a surprise, just wait for the good news and focus on your studies for now..." Natalie puffed her cheeks in indignance. But she chose to trust her husband and awaited his good news.

After coaxing Juliet to sleep, Dan snuck out of the Pavilion in the middle of the night and headed for the direction of the Medicine Pavilion. One should know one's enemy if they wanted a chance for victory. Activating Stealth and using Flicker in bypa.s.sing Formations, Dan arrived at the vast hall of the Medicine Pavilion where numerous jade bottles were displayed in shelves.

Inside the jade bottles were pills, medicinal pastes, and powders. Dan lifted a vicious smile, in a compet.i.tion between two influences, the one that offers the best value price along with high efficacy will definitely win. And since Dan wanted this problem to be over as soon as possible, he resorted in doing something that could be considered as shameless and despicable.

Scanning his gazes over these jade bottles, his vicious smile intensified and the first phase of Dan's plan was completed.

Several hours later, morning arrived along with the symphony of noises which drowned everything inside the Entertainment Block of the Paradyne Academy. In the Garden of Eden of the Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation, the figure of a young man along with Grace could be seen kneeling on the mud while closely inspecting the plants before them.

Grace looked confused throughout the whole ordeal, she didn't understand why her young master would personally come and inspect the quality of the Spiritual Plants inside the Garden of Eden. Dan didn't answer her questions and kept on inspecting the plants through touch.

[Information Sorted; Total Unique Information: 1625]

Dan heaved a sigh of relief. After several hours of inspection, he finally completed his task of collecting information regarding the plants' effects and attributes, armed with this knowledge, Dan turned towards Grace and received the clean towel from her hands.

Wiping his clothes and body clean, Dan asked with a smile, "You must be pretty confused about what I was doing, right?" Grace revealed a wry smile, indeed, no matter how much she thought about it, she didn't understand Dan's actions and waited until he explained it to her.

"Grace, since you came from the slums community, what were your other problems there apart from food?" Grace's confusion deepened, she knitted her eyebrows but she still answered, "Young master, security is definitely one of them apart from food, I would even hold a knife while I'm sleeping just so I could protect myself, but young master, why are you asking me these questions?"

Dan revealed a small smile, "Apart from security, what else was your problem that can make you sick if not addressed swiftly..." Grace thought for a moment, "Hygiene..." She mumbled this word amidst her stunned state.

"Indeed, that is hygiene! Now let me ask this question when you didn't have money, what did you do to clean your wounds to prevent it from worsening?" Dan continued and Grace leaked a small smile. "The treatment that is popular within the slums though you may find it strange and disgusting is using moldy bread. We took those moldy parts then rub it on our wounds..."

"Do you understand why rubbing moldy bread is so effective in keeping your injuries from worsening?" At this point in time, a small smile spread on Dan's lips as he asked this question to Grace.

"No, I don't have any idea, but as long as it works, I didn't really care..." Grace shrugged and Dan clapped his hands together, "After inspecting these plants, I found that some of them possessed unique properties compared to the mold found in bread, which means using those plants, we can create cheap antibiotics that can help cleanse wounds..."

Grace's expression brightened, but soon after, she frowned, "But young master, what's the use of cleansing wounds when we can just use water? And also, I doubt that it will become popular with the cultivators and if we want to defeat the Medicine Pavilion, we should hook them in using our service..."

Dan clicked his tongue and shook his head in disappointment, "Grace, do you really think that we need the cultivators' attention and have them as our customer just so we could compare to the Medicine Pavilion? Let me ask you this, inside this Academy, who has the highest population, the mortals or the cultivators?"

The second Grace heard his words, her expression froze and her figure visibly trembled, Indeed! In this world, not everyone can cultivate and although cultivators were powerful, they couldn't possibly compare to the population of mortals living in this world.

And even though the mortals couldn't possibly pay them using Spirit Stones, they could pay using gold coins and Dan could convert those coins into Spirit Stones. Despite the fact that the ratio of gold coins to Spirit Stones differed too much, the ratio of mortals to cultivators inside the Academy also had the same numbers.

As long as Dan could entice most mortals in the Academy to buy their products, the Mirthful Fairies a.s.sociation could possibly stand toe to toe with the Medicine Pavilion!

"Young master, your plan is definitely possible, it is definitely possible!" Grace praised, her eyes s.h.i.+ning in admiration. Dan maintained a cool look and ordered Grace to gather the plants needed in his plan. Grace happily obliged and soon, at least ten thousand orange colored gra.s.ses were placed before Dan.
