Chapter 6: The Magic of Business
The next few weeks in Agara were a whirlwind for Li Wei. His reputation as the vendor of strange, modern goods spread quickly throughout the village and neighboring settlements. Coffee was now a staple in the local tavern, where adventurers and townsfolk alike would drink it to get a boost before heading out to the markets or into the wilderness.
But Li Wei wasn't content with just selling coffee. He had bigger plans. The more he observed the world around him, the more he realized that he could offer far more than just simple products. The real magic lay in combining the modern world's knowledge with the magical nature of Agara.
He started asking questions, listening carefully to the locals. He heard stories about magic potions and remedies, but these were often expensive and out of reach for the common folk. There were rumors of magical ingredients that could heal wounds or enhance physical strength. What if he could offer potions that combined both magic and modern knowledge?
Li Wei soon found himself traveling to a nearby apothecary. There, he offered the idea of combining modern pharmaceuticals with the potions of this world. It was an ambitious proposal, but the apothecary was intrigued. Together, they began to experiment with creating healing potions that utilized both herbs from Agara and elements Li Wei could purchase from his world. The first batch of "modern healing potions" was a mix of traditional magic and the efficiency of modern medicine.
The results were astounding.

Author's Comment:
In this chapter, I wanted to explore the idea of merging magic with modern science. Li Wei is starting to see the potential for blending the old and new in ways that could truly change the world. This marks the beginning of his transformation from a simple merchant to someone who might change the very fabric of Agara's society. It's always exciting to explore how different worlds can intersect, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Li Wei's experiments with potions and modern knowledge will impact the larger story. This chapter is just the beginning of something much bigger.
