Chapter 65 - Sigh,Life Is Hard Without Money...
-The next day-
In Desmond's room, Desmond looks at the notification given by the system.
[
100x Lizard Blood - Stimulation
100x Snake Blood - Stimulation
1x Elf blood - Pentagram
1x Demon Kid - Stimulation
1x Beast Race Dragon subtype - Main material
2x B Rank Gifted Potion
System conclusion: With this recipe, the host will be guaranteed to get 99% purity from this combined animal; the greater the purity level, the closer that blood to the original dragon, and the blood will be in sync with the host's mind.
The pressure from the beasts the host would receive lessened because they thought the hosts were part of their clan.

"Okay, I understand for all that blood, but what are gifted potions?"
[
System Conclusion: The information is not recorded in the book, but it does mention that after drinking dragon blood, to truly reach 1st class, everyone must drink Gifted Potions.

"Hmm, alright, now is the time for me to collect these materials after careful thought."
Desmond clapped his hand again his body three times and then a servant walked in.
"Yes, young master?"
"Erm ..." Seeing the recipe the system gave that contained elf blood as well as demon blood, Desmond became hesitant to leave all these tasks to his servants.
"Find me 100 bags of Lizard and Snake blood as well as some elf and demon servants."
To his surprise, the servant didn't ask him what that for, instead of nodding.
Desmond didn't know that when the servant heard Desmond's request, she was no longer surprised because they knew that their young master liked to ask odd questions.
"But young master, for elves, is very rare, and to get it, at least we have to go to the auction, with lots of gold coins."
Heard this Desmond frowned. " Those people are very selfish. "
Even though he is rich, but all of that also has limits.
One year earlier, not only did his parents not give him any news, but they also didn't give him money.
He tried his best to save money on food and his house. Luckily the servants at Desmond's home didn't always ask for a salary; they only asked for a decent life and still served their master.
Otherwise, with the many servants in Desmond's house and without his parents' salaries, Desmond might be starving right now.
And also for their food expenses, because it's just that Desmond doesn't really like eating meat, this really helps in saving money.
"Looks like I have to find work. How about the investment that I made in that bakery?"
"Everything went well, young master; at the end of last month, we got about 1000 gold coins."
"And what is the price for a relatively young elf?"
Hearing this question, the maid seemed to be having a hard time telling Desmond. "Erm ... for that around 2000 -3000 young master gold pieces."
"Tch, give me the final month's financial report." Desmond's expression was ugly when he heard the market price from the elves.
"Wait a minute, young master." The servant then walked out of the room. Desmond only needed to wait a few minutes before the maid came in with a lot of parchment.
* thump *
The servant immediately placed the parchments on the table near Desmond's bed.
"Th ... is ... young master, is there anything else I can help you with?" As the maid spoke, she also panting.
"Good job, you can go."
"Thank you, young master." The maid lowered her head slightly while lifting her skirt before leaving.
After seeing the maid leave, Desmond approached his table and read the parchments one by one.
…
A few minutes later, Desmond was seen sitting staring at the ceiling of his room.
"Each month's expenses are 1000 packaged coins, with the last money my parents gave me around 15,000 gold coins.
Since 1 year has passed, now there are only 3,000 gold coins left this time plus investment. If this is the case, this month's expenditure will be 1000 gold coins plus the cost of paying the witch and wizard as much as 1000 gold coins.
This time, I bought the class's necessities at the cost of around 100-500 gold coins. Even then, only from animals, not including the blood of elves and demons.
The total for this month is 2500, and the money I can only spend is 1500 coins…."
After calculating the total of all income and expenses, Desmond let out a very long sigh.
"I didn't expect this expense to be very wasteful, and I haven't bought elf and demon blood yet.
If I wanted to collect the proceeds from my investment, I would only get a few gold coins now. "
Desmond then stood up, opened his window while looking up at the clear blue sky in the morning.
"Apart from investing, my only option is to become mercenaries in the guild."
But then the memory of him scolding Katrina came back.
"Sigh, if only at that time, I quickly realized the situation."
Turning around, Desmond changed his clothes, and then he prepared to leave.
"Where are you, mother, father ... I need your money to live."
For the first time in Desmond's life, he was short of money. Because Desmond was used to being rich in this world and the world before, he never bothered thinking about finances.
"I'm not a genius at business, but at least investing is the passive income I know." Shaking his head, Desmond then exited his room, preparing to head for the guild.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, at Grimm's mansion.
Grimm's house is almost as large as Desmond's, but their interiors are very different. If Desmond's house looks like a dream castle where maids can be found in every corner and a vast landscape of meadow, then Grimm's house looks like a vampire castle.
Almost all the hallways and even the living room were dark, whereas only a few servants served the Grimm family.
…
This room is very dark; the light only depends on the candle on the table. At the table, Grimm is seen writing something on his table. As he is about to continue writing, he suddenly stops.
"So how?"
Raising his head, he saw the darkness in front of him, slowly turning into the shape of a person.
"Greetings, master Grimm, I wish to report that to this day we have not found this person."
"Tch, so why are you here ?!"
The pen he was holding broke, and the table used by the Grimm turned into white iron.
When the mysterious man sees this, he takes his distance from Grimm and then chants a spell.
* crash *
Sure enough, the spell barrier was the spell he chanted earlier, and the barrier was destroyed by a small needle that suddenly appeared and stuck in the middle.
Only after feeling that Grimm had calmed down did he move forward.
"The guild refused your request, so how about now, master Grimm?"
Hearing this, Grimm snorted.
Since his request was rejected by the Guild, Grimm hired mercenaries from the Raven Soul Guild personally.
During these six months, the mercenaries that have been rented have not given him any results.
"How? You really ask that? how did you get a reputation as the 'Best Seeker in The Guild'? "
Grimm said in a mocking tone; he just wanted to vent the anger that had been buried.
Not only did he have to refuse the king's order of all masters to gather in the beast territory, but he also had to even remain here looking for that culprit. This also made his relationship with the king even further apart.
