Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Triton Company

Alex began to think on how to let the adventurers know or the Townhall know about this side effect. After all, he is the only one who can see the sales inventory tab and open the hidden details of the items. After thinking for awhile, he just sigh "I'm just an average shopkeep after all. Without evidence, I can't disclose this to others and it may also cause displeasures among the adventurers." Alex shake his head and smile wryly and check the seller "hmm? Triton company? Who's that? This is the first time I heard this company." Alex check the details of the company. After reading through it, Alex was in deep thought and can't fathom this Triton Company's purpose on selling this item.

In the market place, a group of adventurers are lining up in front of the Triton Market shop. Some of the adventurers are waiting since dawn and it's already noon. The adventurers are excited with the rumor of a certain potion that can provide two fold of increase in strength with a little side effect of being weaken for only one or two days. Normally, this kind of potion or skills are hard to come by and has a big side effects. Some would make the user weaken for at most a week or so, worse would be a month of being weaken. Some would make the user affect one of their senses permanently like lost of sight, hearing and even the human instinct innate to us. The worse side effect would be being a cripple for the rest of their life in which, 90% of the adventurers would choose death instead.

With the advertisement of the 'rats' and the hype of potion effects, mamy adventurers desired to purchase this potion. Suddenly, the door of the shop open and they were greeted by a handsome looking man that should be in his early thirties or approaching his mid thirties "Gentlemen! My dear adventurers, I am Otto! One of the chairman of the Triton Company and today, we have a good news and a bad news for you adventurers. First, the bad news is that, due to the sales thay we are getting for the potion, the stocks that we have is not enough hence, we can only sell a limited batch of the hulk potion." After Otto's announcement, the adventurers panic and immediately, the crowd is in chaos. Some are displeased with Otto's announcement, others can be seen of malice and will fight it out just to get the potion and few small group of adventurers are somewhat has a bland reaction.

Seeing the crowd reaction on his announcement, Otto decided to let the bad news sink in as some so that when he reveal the good news, it would have the utmost effect to the crowd. After waiting a few more minutes, Otto suddenly raise his hand "Adventurers! There is also a good news! Although right now, our stock is limited and we can only sell one botte per adventurer, we are already cooperating with some know adventurer parties to help us gather the ingredients to make the hulk potion and once the cooperation follow through, then by 3 weeks after, our Triton Market Shop will be able to sell 3 bottles per adventurer! And if few more well-know adventurer party or even guild at the capital, then, you won't have to worry about the supply of this potion." When the crowd heard the good news, panic, chaos and despair was change into excitement, eagerness and happiness.

With the success of this announcement of Otto, he continued "For now ladies and gentlemen, we can only accomodate one bottle per person and please do enjoy your stay at our shop." Otto smiles and gestures at the adventurers to come into their store. One by one, the adventurers gather at the Triton shop in lone just to get the hulk potion. Although Triton shop has many other merchandise such as Endure potion, Mana potiona and Spirit capsule, other adventurers was only there just to buy the hulk potion since they have already resupplied from a unknown shop that is selling way more cheaper supply than the others.

"Psst, hey guys did you know, you cam actually bypassed the weakening state of the hulk potion?" One of the 'adventurer' in line whispered to another adventurer "what?! Is that possible?!" Response by the adventurer in a hush tone. The 'adventurer' nodded and continued "yeah!

Out of no where, the poison was remove at the same time, his weakening was also removed then he proceeded to drink another hulk potion just like that."
