“Keep up the good work...”
Holding the potion and hearing the notification in her ear, Lan Qingyou muttered to herself. Her expression shifted, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Then, she began to identify the potion.
【Intermediate Potion: Talent Ascension (C)】
【User Restriction: Lan Qingyou】
【Effect: 5% probability of increasing the talent level of a D-grade talent user.】
【Description: An essence crafted using a vast amount of mental-type materials. It is clear the alchemist put a lot of effort into this. But why does it have a hint of peach flavor?】
【Recipe: Star-grid Grass, Lan-tree Leaves, Sunflowers, Dark Demon core, Cloud-tower peach wine...】
Well, of course.
She had used peach wine; how could it not taste like peaches?
Wait, does that mean I can make my other potions in different flavors too?
While a potion was just a potion, one still had to consider the consumer's mood.
Thinking back to all those mana potions she had choked down in the hidden paradise, Lan Qingyou felt she really ought to make some improvements.
The taste back then was a memory she didn't care to revisit.
She would rather drink an equal weight of plain water or mineral water than ever drink like that again.
Since she was already working on a new batch of Intermediate Mana Potions, Lan Qingyou, being a woman of action, immediately contacted Riesling to order a variety of fruits.
Considering the diversity of personal tastes, she also contacted Jiang Lan to order a batch of vegetables like corn and tomatoes.
Since they were raw materials, both fruits and vegetables could be directly incorporated into the medicine.
At that thought, a somewhat depressed Lan Qingyou tilted her head back and drained the potion in one gulp.
The peach flavor was indeed delicious.
【Ding! Your talent level has been increased.】
Smacking her lips, Lan Qingyou was still savoring the taste of the potion when the voice of the world consciousness rang out.
Wait, was that percentage just for show?
Stunned, Lan Qingyou looked at the empty bottle in her hand and then at the filtered, unbottled liquid still in the basin.
Snap! Just like that!
Lan Qingyou quickly opened the personal information on the back of her hand to check her new talent.
【Talent: Levitation (C)】
①: Can reduce own body weight to achieve a levitation effect.
②: Can reduce the weight of objects to achieve a levitation effect.
③: Object weight must not exceed ten times your own weight.
④: Consumes 1 mana point per minute.
Pfft!
What on earth!
When Lan Qingyou saw her new talent, her feelings were too complex for words.
The talent still had four entries. Three of them remained unchanged, but the third had gone from 'standard body weight' to 'ten times own weight.'
What did that mean?
She weighed about 130 pounds now, which meant she could make any object under 1,300 pounds float—roughly 0.65 tons.
And the cost was still just one mana point per minute.
That was an incredible bargain.
Wait!
Before it was 'own weight,' now it's 'ten times.' If she upgraded again, wouldn't it be...
It was unimaginable! Simply unimaginable!
Patting her cheeks, Lan Qingyou decided not to dwell on such 'overambitious' thoughts for now and used the task of bottling the potions to distract herself.
The remaining hundred or so bottled potions were sealed directly in the storage room by Lan Qingyou.
Although the constant temperature storage room had become a regular utility room since the water flow stopped, she decided it was better to keep rare and precious items in the shelter's warehouse.
It was mainly for convenience.
When she had nothing to do, she could come and check on things, making sure nothing was missing.
After all, she had almost forgotten there were still D-grade talent ascension potions in the warehouse earlier.
Ding.
A message arrived on her card; it was the fruits and vegetables she had ordered.
After sending these items to the Large Alchemy Workshop for the golems to mix randomly, Lan Qingyou began crafting Witch potions.
She had made a promise to others, after all.
Since she had promised, it was better to get it done sooner rather than later. As the saying goes, 'a debt-free heart is a light heart.'
“I'll just pick some lucky winners at random for the rest.”
While eating dinner, Lan Qingyou spoke to herself as she randomly selected five lucky individuals on the world channel and sent them Witch potions.
She still had about a hundred on hand anyway. She would give them away slowly, occasionally.
She didn't have any ulterior motive; she just wanted to liven up the atmosphere of the world channel and observe the 'diversity of species.'
“What! The Witch is giving away potions again!?”
“Yeah, yeah, someone in our district got one. They're still bragging about it in the regional channel.”
“Damn it, why wasn't it me?”
“Maybe you're too ugly to be noticed?”
“Screw you! You dog.”
“I don't care if I'm a dog. As long as the Witch gives me a potion, I'll be her most loyal hound.”
“Wow, going that far? You really have no shame.”
“What is shame compared to strength and survival?”
Because of Lan Qingyou's actions, the world channel fell into a frenzy once again.
And some people followed the scent right to her door.
Justice: “How many do you have left?”
...
Although many people on the world channel were shamelessly sucking up to Lan Qingyou in various ways, in her eyes, this guy was the most shameless of them all.
The Tower: “Don't even think about it. These are just for my own amusement.”
Justice: “Do you still have Star Dragon King Essence Blood?”
The Tower: “As an alchemist, isn't it only natural to keep some high-grade materials for myself?”
...This girl makes a good point. I have no way to refute it!
After all, it was alchemist business. Best not to pry too much.
Chu Yuan found himself momentarily at a loss for words.
Justice: “How many? I want them all.”
The Tower: “Instead of eyeing my stuff, you'd be better off having the Supreme Council organize a search for other ancient bloodlines.”
Justice: “We're already looking, but we haven't found anything yet. I just came to ask how you found it, for reference.”
I found it using Treasure Detection.
Lan Qingyou rolled her eyes.
But she really couldn't say that out loud.
While Chu Yuan wouldn't go so far as to try and take it by force, with his personality, he would definitely find ways to work her like a beast of burden, or even try to 'rent' Spoon.
The Tower: “I was in a city ruins, in an underground vault that looked like an abandoned castle. A one-way teleportation circle sent me to a snow mountain. I spent a few days there looking for signs of biological activity and eventually used an Explosive Potion to clear an area in a cave. It was a complete accident.”
Looking at Spoon, who was huddled nearby like a hamster gnawing on a cob of corn, Lan Qingyou replied.
She wasn't lying; she just omitted Spoon's existence.
The Tower: “If you're going to look, I suggest you bring a magic tent enchanted with constant temperature from The Star, along with some survival tools. It'll make things a lot easier. Who knows where you might get teleported to.”
Justice: “I see. I understand. Thanks for the tip.”
With that, Chu Yuan went silent.
His no-nonsense style made Lan Qingyou open her mouth to complain about something.
But just as she was about to speak, the voice of the world consciousness rang out again.
The contents of which gave Lan Qingyou a sudden jolt of fright.
