Transmigrator's Guide to Conquering Another World

Chapter 177: Essential Supplies of the Damo Realm (Part 2)



As the saying goes, ten men out of nine have hemorrhoids.

In Huaxia, this "men" does not strictly refer to the male gender; it actually includes women and Hideyoshi as well.

However, in the Damo Realm, this concept has been further expanded:

It not only refers to mortals but also encompasses cultivators.

Some might find it strange why cultivators would suffer from hemorrhoids.

The reason is simple: until a certain realm, cultivators are still human.

Hemorrhoids, rather than a disease, are more like a symptom of certain human feedback.

It's hardly known to many.

Hemorrhoids are blood vessel tissues located in the anal canal, a common clinical anal anomaly.

In 1975, the British person Thomson proposed the modern concept of hemorrhoids: they are pathological enlargements of anal cushions at the lower end of the rectum.

Depending on where they occur, hemorrhoids are categorized into internal, external, and mixed hemorrhoids.

The specific pathogenesis of hemorrhoids remains unclear, and the reasons generally include the theories of venous varices and anal cushion displacement.

The core of these two theories is the same—no pathogenic cells, mostly caused by prolonged sitting pressure.

In other words, as long as you are human, and there are blood vessels near your buttocks, hemorrhoids are bound to appear—unless you can control blood flow from reaching that area.

Moreover, compared to humans in Huaxia, cultivators in the Damo Realm have a much higher incidence of hemorrhoids due to the requirement of long-term sitting in cultivation.

Though the Damo Realm is a cultivation world with countless magical pills,

in fact, in the realm of treating diseases, the pills of the Damo Realm are both open and limited.

What is meant by open.

It means it can cure various diseases; it can even rejuvenate aging organs.

And by limited.

It means, to put it bluntly, the core effect of the pill is only one:

Restoring vitality.

Your heart is failing, so you take a pill, and it's reinvigorated.

Your limbs are cut off, take a pill and regrow bones, vessels, and skin.

You have liver cancer, a pill gives your liver new life.

It's a bit like One Punch Man, solving all problems with one punch, big or small.

What does this kind of treatment result in?

It leads to the absence of specialized clinics in the Damo Realm—at least in the cultivation field.

This situation is also often seen in novels and movies, where treatment is never classified, instead resolved with one pill for all.

Various body-healing pills are only ranked by tier and price, regardless of whether they cure the brain or the stomach.

As long as you have money, a single pill can cure diseases in all parts of the body.

This leads to an advanced issue:

There is no systematic summation of causes for diseases in the Damo Realm.

They only know how to treat ailments, but not where the disease originates or how it worsens.

They only know which spirit medicine is effective for ailments, but not that the effectiveness comes from some mysterious component within the spirit medicine.

This is the inevitable difference between the mystical world and the scientific world because they lack the concept of a micro-level field.

So when it comes to compressive ailments unrelated to metabolism, the pills of the Damo Realm are quite helpless.

Hemorrhoids are one such ailment.

Therefore, the pills in the Damo Realm have no effect on hemorrhoids because hemorrhoids don't fit the 'AI' logic of pill-induced vitality restoration—unless it worsens to complete venous varices paralysis combined with femoral head necrosis.

But you can't exactly let your femoral head periodically necrotize just to cure recurrent hemorrhoids, can you?

Of course, besides pills, the Damo Realm also has some ointments with some degree of effectiveness on hemorrhoids.

Yet they are still far from the effectiveness of the Ma Yinglong ointments of the bunnies.

The reason is simple, the ointments in the Damo Realm lack enough of the substances that must be synthesized through micro-technology and pharmaceutical industrialization.

Such as Dimethyl Sulfoxide, and Zinc Carbonate.

These are the main substances for treating hemorrhoids.

The bunnies' synthesis technology can ensure 6.9% Dimethyl Sulfoxide in a five-gram ointment.

But since the Damo Realm cannot create these compound substances separately, at most they contain a mere one or two-thousandths in the same dosage.

This results in a significant difference in treatment effectiveness.

It's a difference in industrial level, similar to how there are ultra-thin condoms in Huaxia, while the Damo Realm still uses sheep intestines, indicating the world's development trajectory difference.

It's the same old story: fundamentally, it's because the micro-level has not been cracked.

Since the natives of the Damo Realm do not know what the micro-level field is, when they found pills ineffective and ointments with average results, they turned their focus to magical artifacts.

Hoping to use underwear magical artifacts to make their meditation environment a little more comfortable.

This led to Yang Bolin's third-tier underwear—quite common in the Damo Realm, just that many magical artifact levels are not that high.

However, no matter how comfortable you make your underwear, the hemorrhoids will still occur, because they are fundamentally unrelated domain problems.

This is why Yang Bolin got so excited upon discovering the miraculous effect of Ma Yinglong.

Because not only did it promise salvation for his own hemorrhoids, but he also saw a huge market!

A market not smaller than Happy Sticks!

In fact, he wasn't the only one who realized this market.

At the moment Yang Bolin took out Ma Yinglong, the think tank of Huaxia in the command center also caught on to this level.

Previously, due to just arriving in a new world and not having turned their mindset around, they did not realize the significance of hemorrhoid cream—this can't really be blamed on them since they had no point of reference before.

But once numerous top experts turned their attention to it, the previously overlooked issue was instantly uncovered.

Although the price of hemorrhoid cream is far from being as expensive as Happy Sticks.

But firstly, its cost is lower.

Secondly, its usage frequency is much higher than Happy Sticks.

The opportunity for large-scale use of Happy Sticks is not frequent; more often than not, they serve as a reserve used at specific times.

But hemorrhoid cream is different, given the frequency of hemorrhoid recurrence in the Damo Realm, even a 20-gram tube of cream probably won't last long.

Once frequency increases, the market consequently expands.

In the reception room, Gu Junming revealed a quite meaningful smile to Yang Bolin:

"Shopkeeper Yang, it seems like quite the coincidence.

This kind of hemorrhoid cream is also one of our commerce association's unique specialties, with a substantial output, able to supply in large quantities.

If you're interested in purchasing some, then we can naturally talk about the price."

As a businessman, under normal circumstances, Yang Bolin would maintain some sort of reservation, even if interested in certain goods, he wouldn't appear too hasty.

However, right now, hemorrhoid cream clearly belongs to the other party's monopoly, and his visit was obviously for this item.

Thus, Yang Bolin simply abandoned any so-called reservation, handing the initiative to the other party.

As Gu Junming finished speaking, Yang Bolin promptly inquired:

"Of course I'm interested, Shopkeeper Gu, but what's the price of this hemorrhoid cream...?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Junming tapped on the table with his fingers, appearing thoughtful while actually waiting for a response from the command center.

Though Yang Bolin is a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, capable of using his divine sense to eavesdrop.

The rabbits however did not mind.

Firstly, the fact that the Taoshu Commerce Association possesses long-distance communication means was already semi-public information to Yang Bolin, so getting caught didn't matter.

After all, with the sale of Happy Sticks, the rabbits would inevitably expose some things to people like Yang Bolin during acquisitions, which couldn't be hidden.

Secondly, they were speaking in Huaxia language, so even if overheard, it wouldn't be an issue.

Gu Junming tapped his index finger several times on the table before clicking his tongue and saying to Yang Bolin:

"Shopkeeper Yang, the hemorrhoid cream sold to you before was a one-currency sample pack with low production.

Our commerce association mainly offers two-currency and four-currency standard packages, which pricing would you like to learn about?"

Yang Bolin also felt that the previous package was too small, so he responded:

"Shopkeeper Gu, could you tell me the prices for both packaging types?"

"Of course, no matter how much your side sells them for, our commerce association will just quote you the wholesale price."

Gu Junming stretched out his words, clearly indicating that the rabbits were aware of Yang Bolin's resale intentions, then he continued:

"Shopkeeper Yang, the previous one-currency pack was sold for 30 copper coins, that was our promotional price, after all, we had just arrived in Ziqiong City and were operating at a loss to open the market.

For normal wholesale, I can offer the two-currency package for 100 copper coins, and for the four-currency one... 195 copper coins."

After quoting the price, Gu Junming quietly watched Yang Bolin, saying nothing more.

The selling price of Ma Yinglong hemorrhoid cream in the homeland is about 0.885 yuan per gram.

The cost price for a four-currency—20 gram package is probably around three yuan, including packaging.

And based on the exchange rate, a price of 195 copper coins translates to about 390 yuan.

The profit isn't high, considering it's a strategy of small profits but quick returns.

Cough cough.....

For now, let's not worry about the cost at home, anyway, this price is still quite tempting to Yang Bolin.

The price of some ointments in the Damo Realm is also about 200 copper coins, and their effectiveness is less than one-fifth of Ma Yinglong's.

However, following his instincts as a businessman, Yang Bolin haggled a bit with Gu Junming.

He finally set the "offshore" wholesale price for the 20 gram, or four-currency package of Ma Yinglong hemorrhoid cream at 190 copper coins per tube.

The first batch of hemorrhoid cream will be delivered to Linyuan City within four days.

After concluding the price negotiation, Yang Bolin left the Taihe Building contentedly.

But perhaps because Gu Junming lacks Ma Ning's sophisticated acting skills, Yang Bolin suddenly had a vague feeling that he didn't profit as much as he did with Happy Sticks.

"What a misstep, what a misstep, rushed it a bit, it seems the Taoshu Commerce Association might have a profit margin above 40%, Shopkeeper Ma is more considerate..."

Yang Bolin silently criticized himself and suddenly halted in front of the Taihe Building plaque.

Perhaps it was due to the lighting.

In Yang Bolin's eyes, the little "white rabbit" in the plaque seemed a bit darker, especially in the heart area.

He then rubbed his eyes and found the logo had returned to a snowy white bunny, showing him a simple, honest smile.

"Saw it wrong, saw it wrong, how could such a cute little rabbit be black-hearted..."
