The Luxury of Discount King novel Chapter 20

As for the weight of ambergris Mr. Huber needed, he just said, "Well, give me 200 grams first. After all, it's too expensive. I can't get too much."

"Okay."

Conrad clicked on the app and bought 200 grams of ambergris from it. Soon, a box appeared in his bag, where there placed the ambergris.

Conrad handed the box to Mr. Huber. As it was indeed a big deal, Mr. Huber opened the box to confirm the quality of ambergris.

Then he called his son to make him transfer 1,600,000 to Conrad's back account.

Soon, Conrad received the money and the deal was concluded.

Mr. Huber asked him to stay to discuss about purchasing some rare medical materials. Fortunately, Conrad noticed that all of them were in stock on the app. So he promised he could provide the materials he needed with top quality at any time when he got the call.

"Okay, let me note them down and you just get prepared. When I need them, you can just have them delivered." Mr. Huber wrote a list of medical materials on paper with Chinese brush pen.

Conrad took it and looked at it. He really appreciated the nice handwriting on this paper. He claimed that Mr. Huber was so good at calligraphy that he would definitely win the prize in a calligraphy competition.

Upon hearing that, Mr. Huber was even more delighted. He asked Conrad to stay to visit his house.

When Conrad walked around the house, he suddenly noticed that there were a lot of ancient thread-bound books on the shelf, which were all wax-sealed.

One of them was named as Recipe for Exercise, which attracted his attention.

"Can I have a look?" Conrad asked.

"Of course, but most of the ancient prescriptions have gone." Mr. Huber said.

"Is it because of the damage of the environment?"

"Yes, the environmental damage is also a destruction of the traditional Chinese medicine." Mr. Huber sighed.

"Perhaps we can only recover those prescriptions when the technology is well-developed enough to reproduce all those ancient plants and animals."

Conrad opened the book. It was really hard for him to understand the meaning as it was written with ancient Chinese. Mr. Huber stood beside to explain the meaning for him. And he also told some medical stories about the ancient time.

'Elixir of Strength, one dose will be enough to make you more powerful among others; two will enable you to be the strongest man in the world; three will enable you with endless power; four will enable you to be the only unstoppable creature ever.' When seeing this prescription, Conrad couldn't help asking with surprise, "Mr. Huber, is it true about the magical effect as mentioned here?"
