If you want to talk about the specialties of Dimension City, if it had just started before, it might have only been enhanced ingredients. But now Dimension City has gradually developed, and there are many new things.
The first one that stands out is the healing potions. In addition to the low-end potions that have been produced in the Harry Potter world, there are also the potions that Takumi exchanged for corresponding technologies from the DanMachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) world.
Among these potions, the Elixir and the Panacea are the most valuable. The former has the bug-level effect of resurrecting people, and the latter has the effect of healing injuries by percentage or completely curing diseases.
In addition to potions, there are also various alchemical products and weapons, as well as weapon strengthening services.
"If President Ichiryu is interested in the above, we can discuss all of them. As long as the price is right, we can provide them."
"Hiss~! Do those potions really have such practical effects?"
Ichiryu couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this. He didn't expect that there were so many good things in Dimension City. I have to say that Ichiryu was moved and became very interested in the potions from Dimension City.
Not only Ichiryu, but also Setsuno and Jiro. Although there are many magical treatment methods in this world, and even methods of resurrection also exist (like the Center or Life), the former either takes a long time or the technology can only be mastered by a few people (like regeneration). The latter usually involves extremely rare ingredients or locations and isn't easily accessible.
Therefore, if possible, they would naturally want to obtain some Panaceas and Elixirs through transactions. After all, they are rare good things. It is very effective and easy to use. It is entirely possible that it will be listed as an important war preparation material.
Moreover, the time for the next Gourmet Solar Eclipse is getting closer and closer, and an unprecedented war will take place. If it can be done in advance, it would be great to prepare some life-saving means. Even if they don't use it themselves, they can also use it for the younger generation on whom they have placed high hopes (the Four Heavenly Kings).
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, I can give you a chance to try it first and then pay. If it doesn't work, you won't be charged."
Ichiryu waved his hand: "No, I'm just a little surprised. I don't mean to be suspicious."
Although he was very excited about Takumi's proposal, since Takumi dared to offer to use it first and pay later, he must be confident. Therefore, the effects of the medicine Takumi described are basically true.
Now that this is confirmed, there is no need to do any more tests, which will only reduce the trust between both parties. It is better to show more trust in exchange for the other party's favor.
"I still trust City Lord Takumi, so there is no need for a test. Let's talk about the transaction directly."
"Okay, so, what does President Ichiryu want to trade this time?"
"Well, mainly Panaceas and Elixirs, especially Elixirs. As long as the price is right, we will take as much as we can get." Ichiryu said very proudly.
Anyway, he only pays with food ingredients, and as the leader of the IGO, an organization that controls the distribution of almost all food ingredients in the Human World, the most indispensable thing is food ingredients.
Moreover, the most abundant resource in this world is food ingredients. If it's not enough, they can send people to the Gourmet World to capture it, or they can do it themselves. With the strength of him and Jiro, there are almost no ingredients that cannot be captured.
Therefore, what they have to pay is actually just some labor costs. A little labor cost can be exchanged for magic medicine that can revive people. It's totally worth it!
"As for the Elixir, Dimension City has stopped producing it, but it still has a lot of reserves, so about two hundred bottles can be taken out immediately."
Takumi thought for a while and counted the numbers. To be honest, after he obtained the Hall of Heroes (Valhalla), the Elixir was already obsolete in Dimension City because it was simply not needed.
After all, resurrection was now available for free. Now that the method of resurrection via Valhalla is available, who would use a more costly and cumbersome solution? Not to mention, even if they want to use it, there is no such chance.
Nowadays, people sent out from Dimension City will basically register in the Hall of Heroes first. After being killed in battle, they will directly return to the Hall of Heroes to wait for resurrection, and there will be no chance to use the Elixir at all.
Therefore, Dimension City no longer produces more Elixirs. The two hundred bottles are still from the batch produced at the beginning, which he later threw into the warehouse to gather dust. Since Ichiryu wanted it, Takumi didn't mind clearing the inventory.
"As for the price, let me think about it..."
When it came to the price, Takumi couldn't help scratching his head and couldn't think of how to price it for a while.
"First of all, it must be paid with fantasy ingredients. Money means little to us. Considering the value of the Elixir, I request that it can only be traded with ingredients from the Gourmet World."
Ichiryu nodded: "It should be so."
There is nothing to bargain about. Ordinary ingredients in the Human World are not worthy of the value of the Elixir. But soon, Ichiryu also thought of the problem that worried Takumi: "It's just that in this way, the price is difficult to define. Money in the Human World cannot define the value of ingredients in the Gourmet World."
There are almost no ingredients in the Gourmet World that are circulated in the general market. Because those who have the ability to enter the Gourmet World generally eat the ingredients themselves and will not sell them, so there is no price reference at all.
Takumi thought about it and suggested: "Why don't we just follow the Capture Level?"
"Possible." Ichiryu also felt that this plan was acceptable, and immediately asked: "So, what level of ingredients does City Lord Takumi want?"
Takumi thought for a while and said tentatively: "With the value of the Elixir, it would require ingredients with a level in the thousands to be worthy of it. What does President Ichiryu think?"
"Then set it at Level 1,000 or above."
Ichiryu agreed without hesitation, as if he was afraid that Takumi would regret it. This made Takumi feel that the price might be a bit low.
But after thinking about it, the Elixir was of great value to Dimension City anyway. In fact, it is not too rare. As long as the medicinal materials are grown, they can be made in batches. It does not take much effort, and it can be exchanged for ingredients that can provide him with energy and make him stronger. It is already very profitable. Therefore, there is no further price increase.
Moreover, Level 1,000 is actually very high. Except for a handful of the strongest people in the world, there are currently no other people with the ability to capture such ingredients. If it is higher, it will slow down the implementation of the transaction because no one will be able to capture it.
"Okay, let's set it to Capture Level 1,000."
Next, the two discussed the specific details, such as the size and portion of the ingredients, and the proportion of the transaction.
The final result is that one portion of food is exchanged for a bottle of Elixir. If the food is an animal, it will be counted as a whole animal. Plants, fruits, and vegetables will be calculated on a case-by-case basis.
But the premise is that the guaranteed weight of a single serving of ingredients cannot be less than one ton. If the portion is not enough, you have to use quantity to make up one ton.
And the variety of ingredients in one transaction cannot be solely comprised of massive items; the value of ingredients with smaller individual mass but high value shall not be less than 40% of the total transaction value.
The reason why it is set like this is mainly because there is a huge gap in the portions of ingredients in this world. Some ingredients may weigh dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of tons per piece. But some of the ingredients' portions and sizes are very normal.
Therefore, Takumi had to be cautious. In order to prevent the other party from using a single oversized ingredient to fulfill the entire trade quota, potentially taking away all the Elixirs with just one massive beast. At the same time, it is also to avoid the other party only trading large portions of ingredients and ignoring those small but potentially more delicious or potent ingredients. This setting can also ensure the diversity of trading ingredients.
