Apocalypse Prefer the Beast World Real Estate Market (Joyread) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Join Our Clinic

It wasn’t until they reached the rice shop that Gael finally had a chance to sidle up next to Rosalie and actually say a few words to her.

Ever since the chillwave, even more people had been coming to buy rice-ten baskets, twenty baskets at a time.

And the plan Rosalie had discussed with Yuna last time-paying those who grew rice in silver or letting them trade grain for grain-had won a lot of support.

Plenty of weaker beastmen who weren’t good at hunting had started planting rice instead, which meant their rice supply wouldn’t suddenly dry up.

Rosalie flipped through nearly a week’s worth of ledger entries; just this week alone, after subtracting labor and loss, the net profit from rice was around 100 coins.

Add in her share from the House of Delicacies, and that was 150 coins in a single week.

At that rate, she could pay off what she owed Gael in just two months.

Even though Gael was already her husband, Rosalie wasn’t the type to spend someone else’s money; if she owed, she paid it back. She didn’t like being in anyone’s debt.

Once the debt was cleared, if Gael wanted to leave, she wouldn’t stop him.

Rosalie still had no idea why Gael was so dead set on becoming her husband, but aside from their business dealings, there really wasn’t much emotion between them.

She was still lost in thought when someone suddenly barked her name, loud and fierce.

“Rosalie!

“You really are here!

“Do you have

have any idea how long I’ve been looking for you?”

Rosalie looked up on instinct, her expression freezing.

Sabrina strode over with a medicine chest on her back, storming right up to Rosalie.

“Didn’t you promise to come find me at the clinic last time?”

Rosalie gave an awkward little laugh. “I just never found the time … then kind of forgot.”

Sabrina was a female as well, with bold, dark brows and wide, round eyes; when she frowned at

someone, it somehow managed to look both stern and comically endearing.

“The clinic treats its people really well. Come with me, and you’ll see for yourself!”

Before Rosalie could refuse, Sabrina grabbed her wrist and towed her toward the door.

Cameron was in the back hauling sacks of rice, and Leon was tied up with a customer, which gave Gael the perfect chance to slip in and follow right at Rosalie’s side.

The clinic was a fair distance from the rice shop; the moment they stepped inside, a thick wave of herbal scent hit Rosalie’s nose.

Steam bubbled up from pots inside, and someone was hunched over a small stove, boiling something down.

“Bleh, bleh, bleh!”

The person scooped up a spoonful of the brew, stuck it in his mouth, and spat it out immediately.

“Nope. This formula is wrong!”

Noticing Rosalie’s interest, Sabrina led her over to inspect the failed concoction.

The taste on the air felt oddly familiar; Rosalie dipped a fingertip into the liquid and put it to her tongue.

The system instantly pulled up the complete formula for the medicine.

Rosalie quietly recited the recipe out loud, and when she finished naming the last herb, the man scratched his head, face twisted in frustration.

“Yeah, those are exactly the herbs I used, but it still failed. I just don’t know which one I got wrong.”

“Elderberry extract.”

Rosalie’s healer proficiency had already reached Level 2; the name just flashed across her mind

on its own.

Sabrina blinked, then pulled a dried herb from her chest and handed it over-it was exactly elderberry extract.

Rosalie sliced the dried elderberry extract into thick pieces, added it back into the recipe in place of the last herb, and tossed in a bit of sugar on top.

Then, she turned the fire up and let it boil; soon, a sweet-bitter medicinal aroma drifted
