When the shops under the lord's mansion first launched the Health Recovery Potion, the Adventurers in Anatolia paid it little mind.

They often fought monsters in the wild and frequently got injured, carrying all kinds of healing potions on them.

Some Adventurers admired Knight Master, so even if it cost fifty gold coins, they were willing to buy a bottle of the basic Health Recovery Potion.

Later, one Adventurer accepted a dangerous mission and was severely wounded by a high-level monster, near death.

Only a high-level Priest could save his life.

Even his Adventurer team had prepared to give up. High-level Priests were extremely rare in Canglan Kingdom.

It was much harder for Priests to advance than for Paladins or Magicians.

High-level priests in Anatolia were treated with utmost respect, even by nobles.

How could such a great Priest come to save an ordinary Adventurer?

The injured Adventurer then drank all his healing potions. After taking the Health Recovery Potion bought from the lord's mansion, his injuries visibly healed at a remarkable speed.

His companions were all amazed.

Other Adventurers learned of this and rushed to the lord's mansion shops to snatch up the potions.

Sales exploded.

For low-level Adventurers, one potion could save their lives; fifty gold coins was well worth it.

Especially for those Adventurer teams without a Priest, they wanted to buy all the Health Recovery Potions from the shops.

Now, to buy a Health Recovery Potion, one had to purchase a coupon from commoners working at the lord's mansion.

The price of these coupons had risen from one gold coin each initially to nearly two gold coins each.

Hearing that their Health Recovery Potion coupons could sell for 150 silver coins, the two commoners found it incredible.

Just as they were about to agree, a wealthy merchant in a brocade robe walked over.

"Two young brothers, don't listen to him. Health Recovery Potion coupons are worth two gold coins now. I'll give you two gold coins outright!"

The merchant pulled out four shiny gold coins.

Seeing the coins, the two commoners' eyes sparkled.

"Alright! You offer more, we'll sell to you!"

They quickly took the gold coins from the merchant's hand and handed over their newly received coupons.

After verifying the coupon's seal, the merchant nodded with satisfaction.

"Damn merchants, you buy the Health Recovery Potion coupons only to resell them at high prices to us Adventurers!" the Adventurer Paladin angrily exclaimed.

"Adventurer, business is about the highest bidder winning. If you want to buy, I have plenty of coupons—three gold coins each—to sell you!" the merchant sneered.

Health Recovery Potion coupons were so sought after in the main city it was like picking up money. Whoever bought them profited.

Though unwilling, the Adventurer Paladin dared not cause trouble in the new district.

Since Knight Master entered Anatolia's main city, he had decreed that no fighting was allowed within the city.

Anyone who fought inside would be immediately expelled from the city.

Being kicked out meant no access to city shops, no entry to brothels, no seeing the provocatively dressed courtesans.

This was hard for Adventurers to bear.

Soon, several workers came out of the lord's mansion to collect their wages.

The Adventurer Paladin immediately approached and said, "Two of you, will you sell your Health Recovery Potion coupons? Two gold coins each!"

He pulled out several glittering gold coins.

His task today was to buy five coupons, barely enough for his Adventurer team's use.

Otherwise, they would have to wait till next month when the lord's mansion workers distributed new coupons.

Chu Yun watched the coupon transactions outside the lord's mansion carefully.

"Knight Master, Health Recovery Potion coupons are selling even better than we imagined—now nearly two gold coins each," Lake Witch smiled seductively beside Chu Yun.

The higher the coupon price, the harder the workers would work.

"That's just because Adventurers in Anatolia's main city demand Health Recovery Potions so much. Once more potions sell, the price will gradually drop," Chu Yun said slowly.

After touring the lord's mansion in the new district with Lake Witch and others, Chu Yun headed to the construction site.

Workers there laughed and chatted after receiving wages.

Working at the lord's mansion site earned two gold coins a month—something they had never dreamed of before.

"Knight Master! Knight Master actually came to the site!"

"Praise Knight Master! After earning my gold coin today, my wife looked at me with seductive eyes."

As Chu Yun and Lake Witch arrived, the workers gave grateful looks.

Previously, under the old lord, commoners barely had enough food after giving their crops to nobles.

Now, with Knight Master here, their monthly gold earnings equaled a year's harvest before.

How could they not be grateful?

Chu Yun inspected the site; road paving was swift.

Several workers dug soil ahead, leveling the road.

Behind them, others pushed carts with stones, sand, and other materials.

Magicians used water magic to mix these materials into a spacious road surface.

Others with special tools compressed the road to smoothness.

"Knight Master, the road is being built quickly. As per your order, we'll finish the new district roads first, then build roads to other places," Countess said nearby.

"Good." Chu Yun nodded with satisfaction.

After inspecting the roads, Chu Yun returned to the lord's mansion.

As the Knight Master left, two workers began chatting.

"You only took home one gold coin? Did you meet a dishonest merchant? Health Recovery Potion coupons sell for two gold coins now."

"Heh, I saved one gold coin to relax at the brothel. The courtesans there dress way more provocatively than my wife!"

The others burst into laughter.

Several workers' eyes gleamed—clearly, they wanted to see how provocatively the courtesans really dressed.

After earning gold, commoners didn't save it; they spent it in Anatolia's main city.

This fueled local commerce and prosperity.
