First came those hundred tons of materials, and she would receive another batch every week after that.
Even if she could develop more humanoid golems in the future, it would be pointless if she had nowhere to store those materials.
Right, speaking of golems, she also seemed to need a workshop specifically for making them.
Although she already had an alchemy workshop, alchemy and golem-making were two different things.
Most importantly, she needed to pick up and sharpen her skills in materials science and mechanics again.
Lan Qingyou had quite enough of the lessons she learned back in that paradise.
Back then, her luck had been good, and everyone’s spirits were high, so they managed to create a Steel-grath that could barely hold its own against the Ancient Tree.
But even so, the Steel-grath ended up being crippled. It was clear that if she hadn't taken advantage of her ability to fly and her status as an alchemist—which allowed her to refine a potion on the spot to counter the enemy—success would have been nothing but a pipe dream.
In the end, she had to rely on herself.
Picking up the various subjects related to golems and re-learning them had another benefit: she could create her own materials and even hand-craft golem parts within an alchemy circle.
Yes, hand-crafting them herself.
Previously, desperate times called for desperate measures, and she had let Chariot handle the material preparation, but the results were less than satisfactory.
If they can't challenge enemies above their level, what use do I have for these golems?
At that thought, Lan Qingyou sat up again, her mind still racing.
Looking at the situation from all angles, she felt the biggest problem was that her shelter was too small.
Hmm... Since I can make a magic shield now, why don't I try making a shelter myself?
Wouldn't it be fine if I just made a huge shelter?
Perfect.
It goes to show that an alchemist's brain really is built differently.
Having identified the key to the problem, Lan Qingyou began thinking about how to solve it.
The magic shield was definitely doable, though her own magic shield was a bit crude compared to the 'original' one that came with the shelter.
But now that she had a B-grade crystal pen, that situation should improve slightly.
Moreover, since she was planning to build a massive shelter, it wouldn't matter much if the magic circuits and magic patterns were a bit unrefined.
As long as it's big enough, any flaws can be covered up. That’s just the way it is.
After waking up the next day, Lan Qingyou's life returned to its previous rhythm.
Eating, sleeping, studying, and brewing potions—the cycle repeated.
It might have seemed a bit dull.
But between learning the magic knowledge of the Kalim continent one day and following Professor Seymer to study Blue Star chemistry the next, Lan Qingyou didn't find it boring at all; in fact, she was quite enjoying herself.
To be honest, she was incredibly busy, but as she connected the dots during her studies, many things gradually became clearer.
That day, after eating, Lan Qingyou was waiting for Professor Seymer to start his lecture.
Elderly people naturally ate a bit slower.
With nothing to do, Lan Qingyou decided to review the morning's lesson on her own.
Then, she suddenly remembered that she still had three Witch potions that she hadn't dealt with.
Since she had some free time now, she might as well take care of those three potions.
With that in mind, Lan Qingyou took out the three potions.
Actually, she had already decided how to handle them.
She would randomly choose three lucky winners on the world channel and give them away.
Hey! No special reason! Just for the hell of it!
Besides, the witches under her lineage couldn't harm her anyway, so keeping these three in her hands was useless.
What? Why didn't she give them all to Chu Yuan earlier?
Don't be ridiculous. Why would she waste that much on one person?
If it weren't for the fact that he had given her information about those two people named Huang, she wouldn't have given him even one, given her personality.
“Who has gold ore? I’m willing to trade.”
As Lan Qingyou swiped through the messages on the world channel, she happened to see someone looking for gold.
The profile picture showed a woman with her golden hair tied up; she looked very beautiful, mature, and elegant.
She clicked into the profile to take a look: Bei Adolis.
The name sounded nice too. She liked the look of her!
So, without the slightest hesitation, Lan Qingyou sent one Witch potion to her.
She closed the window and looked for the next one.
“Nangong Lengyue, are you going to hide after killing someone? If you have the guts, come out! Don't fucking hide in your shelter!”
“Heh, what are you barking for? I killed exactly who I meant to—you vermin of the Green Blanket Club.”
Whoa!
Found another one.
Looks like she’s in a conflict with a local gang?
Lan Qingyou’s eyes lit up when she saw this exchange.
It didn't matter why the other person killed or what their reasons were.
To be honest, this kind of thing happened a lot on the world channel. People would run there to vent their frustrations whenever they felt like it—it was basically just impotent rage.
In a situation like this, wouldn't it be right for me, Lan Qingyou, to show some support?
She clicked on the personal info, and boy! White hair and red eyes!
Who could possibly resist that!
And so, unable to resist, Lan Qingyou sent out a potion.
She gave the last one to a woman on the world channel who was clamoring to buy a Witch potion with everything she owned. Her name was Ursula Clementine.
She didn't give it to her because she was willing to pay everything she had.
In fact, there were plenty of people trying to buy them on the world channel now; people from all of the Five Great Races wanted one.
The reason she chose her was entirely because the woman's outfit was very interesting.
She wore a black veil, the kind typically worn at funerals, covering the upper half of her face.
However, the one she wore covered her entire face.
The veil was very thin, giving off a hazy sense of being partially hidden while making it impossible to see exactly what she looked like.
It added a layer of mystery to her and made her seem alluring and sexy.
I bet that veil is some kind of magic tool, right?
Lan Qingyou thought to herself.
This kind of look perfectly fit the 'Witch' profession, which was why Lan Qingyou chose her out of the many people trying to buy.
“Thank you, Witch, for the potion. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word.”
Just then, Adolis, the first one to receive the potion, shouted out on the world channel.
That shout was no small matter.
The people who were already eager to buy became even more excited, asking Adolis why the Witch had given her the potion for free.
Shortly after, Nangong Lengyue and Ursula also came forward to share their experiences and thank Lan Qingyou for the gift.
This completely ignited everyone’s passion.
Three have already appeared. Could there be more?
People immediately jumped to that conclusion.
As a result, one after another, they began asking Lan Qingyou for potions. Even profile pictures she had never seen before started popping up.
After all, it was free, so why not try?
What if it actually worked?
Meanwhile, some people trying to fish in troubled waters started using the slogan 'Thank you, Lan Qingyou, for the potion' to scam others on the world channel, which Lan Qingyou found highly entertaining.
