Chapter 004: Blue Oyster Lake

That lake is so beautiful, does it have a name? Turning past a grove of trees, Lin Feng saw a stretch of blue lake water, a deep blue, quite stunning

Alright! Being able to do things for Master Lin Feng made Old Bartolomeo very happy

"The blue oyster? The kind that produces pearls?" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise

Pearls as marbles! Lin Feng was left speechless

Old Bartos exclaimed, "Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. The effects of the potion you brought are remarkable; several villagers who took the medicine have already recovered from their fevers"

Lin Feng was about to faint; there are oysters in the lake, and they are the kind that produce pearls. Why don't you go and collect the pearls?

"Why harvest pearls? Pearls are neither useful nor valuable, and the meat of the blue oyster is not tasty either," Old Bartos said with some confusion.

Lin Feng opened the sack, which was filled with small blue pearls. The pearls were not very large, approximately the size of soybeans, but they were bright and very beautiful

Moreover, due to the absence of natural enemies, the oysters in the lake have a remarkably abundant yield each year, resulting in pearls that are quite large.

When wealthy individuals no longer purchase pearls, ordinary people are even less inclined to spend money on them, and pearls thus become useless items that no one cares about

At the entrance of the village road, Lin Feng waited for a while, and soon a rural bus arrived. The destination was a small town outside the village, and the fare was only 3 yuan

Lin Feng asked, "By the way, have they taken the medicine I sent? What is the effect?"

The blue pearls produced by blue oysters are merely ordinary pearls, and no one would spend money to buy them, thus they are naturally worthless; only those magical pearls hold value. Old Bartos cast a sympathetic glance at Lin Feng, realizing that the great mage Lin Feng had been practicing in the mage tower for too long, to the extent that he was unaware of the common knowledge that ordinary pearls are not valuable.

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Feng continued to inquire about the blue pearl.

Here, this is the medicine to treat the entire village. Additionally, I have brought you a barrel of disinfectant. The disinfectant can kill the bacteria that spread the Karu disease. You should spray the disinfectant in every corner of the village, and in the future, you will no longer contract the Karu disease.

I want it; these pearls are useful to me, so give me as many as you have. After all, pearls are not worth much to the villagers, and Lin Feng feels justified in taking them.

"Blue Oyster Lake? Why is it called that? Is it because the shape of the lake resembles an oyster?" Lin Feng asked curiously

The so-called medicine referred to by Lin Feng is actually just cold powder and antipyretics. These medications are purchased from pharmacies and do not require Lin Feng to spend time preparing them. However, purchasing the medicine does take time for Lin Feng

The Blue Oyster Lake is not very deep, with the deepest point being around 20 meters. Harvesting pearls here would be quite simple.

Indeed," replied Old Bart.

The value of a product depends on the customer's demand and perception of it, especially for decorative items like pearls. If customers perceive pearls as useless and no one purchases them, then pearls will naturally lose their value

Lin Feng rode his bicycle, quickly circling around while chatting with Old Bartolomeo, and gained a general impression of the surrounding terrain

Lin Feng suddenly realized: "Indeed, this is a magical world, and the values here are completely different from those on Earth. In the Land of Light, only magical items hold value, and only pearls imbued with magical power are worth purchasing. Ordinary blue pearls, while beautiful, are worthless.

That is enough for now, I will trouble you again later. Lin Feng plans to first sell a bag of pearls to test the market. If he can sell them at a good price, he will naturally come back to collect more pearls.

Thank you so much, thank you so much. Old Bartolomeo was extremely excited, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude in his heart, but his tongue was too clumsy; apart from knowing to say thank you, he could not express anything else.

By the time Lin Feng returned to the old house with the cold medicine, more than an hour had already passed

Old Bart carefully said: "Master Lin Feng, do you want blue pearls? If you do, I can go back to the village and find some for you. I believe there are still some pearls in the village."

Treating illness is like extinguishing a fire; there is no time to wait. Lin Feng had no intention of deliberately delaying. Holding a box of medicines, he returned to the Land of Light

"There is nothing particularly special about it; we simply named it Blue Oyster Lake because a type of blue oyster grows in this lake," Old Bart replied matter-of-factly.

Master Lin Feng, all the pearls in the village are here. If you need more pearls, we can go to Blue Oyster Lake to collect them for you, " Old Bart respectfully inquired.

Although pearls are not valuable, they can be considered a kind of beautiful toy. Villagers occasionally come to collect some pearls to take back home for their children to play with as marbles

Ordinary pearls are indeed worthless in the Bright Continent, but they hold significant value on Earth. As long as these blue pearls are transported to Earth for sale, they can definitely yield a substantial profit

Without making Lin Feng wait too long, Old Bartow personally carried out a sack full of pearls

According to Old Bartol, the Blue Oyster Lake is home to countless blue oysters. Due to the overwhelming number of oysters, they have accumulated at the bottom of the lake, which is why the water appears so azure

The last batch of potions was purchased at the village health center. This time, upon returning to Earth, Lin Feng did not plan to go to the health center for purchases. Firstly, the health center probably does not have that much stock, and secondly, there are acquaintances in the health center. If he buys so many potions at once, it will surely raise suspicions. If rumors start circulating, it would become troublesome.

Natural pearls typically require polishing and other processes to achieve a bright and beautiful appearance after being extracted. However, this blue pearl eliminates the need for polishing; it appears exceptionally bright and beautiful immediately after being extracted from the oyster

Old Bartos widened his eyes, filled with excitement as he took the disinfectant solution from Lin Feng's hands

Since planting is not possible in the surrounding area, one can only think of other solutions, Lin Feng thought to himself

In such small local pharmacies, the management is generally not very strict. Lin Feng spent 500 yuan to purchase an entire box of cold medicine powder, sufficient to treat fifty people for colds.

Lin Feng suddenly thought of a great plan to get rich: selling pearls

"Preparing such a large quantity of the potion will take some time, and I need you to be patient a little longer," Lin Feng said

"Yes, we all call it Blue Oyster Lake," Old Bartow replied, but when it comes to beauty, Old Bartow did not find anything particularly beautiful about Blue Oyster Lake

Then I will rely on you. Old Bartow felt grateful in his heart and bowed once more

Let Lin Feng wait outside the village. After Lao Ba and * Tu * Shu returned to the village, they immediately began to collect pearls from house to house. The villagers were very cooperative in this matter and contributed all the pearls they had at home

"Are pearls not valuable?" Lin Feng asked in surprise

As long as it is effective, that is good. Let me do this: I will return once more to prepare a sufficient quantity of medicine to heal everyone

Lin Feng felt somewhat disappointed with the surrounding environment; however, the spatial tunnel could not be relocated. Therefore, Lin Feng's future focus of development must inevitably remain here

Old Bartolomeo had never heard of the name "disinfectant solution," but this did not hinder his admiration for it. "Look at this name, disinfectant solution, what a mysterious and noble name it is. Only great alchemists would possess disinfectant solution, and only the benevolent Grand Mage Lin Feng would bestow it upon us for our use"

Thank you for your kindness, Master Lin Feng. Old Bartolomeo's eyes have already become moist

The land here is truly very barren, with a type of black, rock-like hard soil everywhere, which is completely unsuitable for growing crops

The town outside the village is not very far away. After about half an hour, Lin Feng got out of the car and walked directly towards a large pharmacy in the town.

Old Farmer Bartol was waiting at the village entrance for Lin Feng's return. Upon seeing Lin Feng actually come back, Old Bartol nearly jumped up in excitement
