Lan Qingyou turned around and slowly flew back toward the shelter.
After passing a certain rock, she suddenly felt that the mana in her body was no longer in chaos!
Though her flight posture was still a 7, compared to before...
Glancing sideways at the rock on the ground, Lan Qingyou pondered for a moment and generally understood the reason.
The magic shield.
The shelter's magic shield prevented the magic turbulence from encroaching into the interior, keeping it from interfering with a person's mana.
In other words, as long as she stayed within the range of this rock, she wouldn't be affected by the magic turbulence.
With this, Lan Qingyou's heart finally settled.
At least for now.
After returning to the shelter, Lan Qingyou pulled up her personal info, which she hadn't checked in a long time, to see if the "crash" just now had cost her any Health.
The result gave her a start.
Name: Lan Qingyou
Race: Blue Star Human
Level: Lv1
Strength: 2 (+30)
Agility: 1
Stamina: 2
Spirit: 8
(Peak Blue Star value is 10)
Health: 15
Mana: 80
Talent: Body Lightening Technique (E)
【Magic Skills: (Collection Technique E)】
【Knowledge: (Herbology E) (Alchemy E) (Symbology E) (Drafting E) (Potions E) (Magic Circuitry E)】
【Equipment: Moonlight Stone Dagger, Shabby Herb Gathering Bag】
How did these Knowledge and Equipment columns appear?
Not understanding why, Lan Qingyou reached out and tapped them to see if they would reveal anything, just like her talent.
As it turned out, they did.
Knowledge: Unlike magic, which cannot be upgraded, knowledge will increase and level up as your study, research, and practice deepen.
Huh? So magic can't be upgraded?
Looking at her Collection Technique, Lan Qingyou thought for a moment before tossing the thought aside.
She would still study what needed to be studied and craft what needed to be crafted.
Knowing this didn't really affect her much.
She took two bottles of Healing Potion from the herb bag on her magic desk—one to drink and one to apply topically.
As the wound on her forehead healed instantly, the 5 Health she had lost in the crash also began to recover.
While her Health was recovering, she glanced at the desk.
“The sun is out! The sun is out! Haha, I made it through!”
“An entire night of being on edge, but I finally survived.”
“Hurry out and collect materials.”
“Holy crap, don't go out!”
“What's wrong?”
“Outside looks calm, but the magic turbulence is still there. Magic can't be used effectively. I almost died just now.”
“No way!”
“What would I gain by lying to you?”
“I'll go try.”
“Me too.”
“Don't bother. It's true. I'm banged up too. If I didn't have a healing potion, I might not have made it back.”
“I just tried it. It's true. Once you leave the shelter's range, your mana becomes chaotic, which affects your magic.”
“This sucks. Am I, a mage with 70 mana, going to be sidelined like this?”
“Look at the channel count; it's dropped by over a thousand.”
“What's the big deal? Look at the World Channel. Over 2.2 billion people were lost overnight.”
“Last night was terrifying, but I bet most of the people who died were those who hadn't upgraded their shelters.”
“Probably. The guys on the World Channel are all shouting about it.”
“Forget the World Channel; just live your own life. Upgrade to level 3 early, or who knows when a storm might suddenly blow away your level 2 shelter.”
“Are you level 3?”
“No.”
“Then shut up. Don't act all high and mighty with me.”
So everyone has already tested it...
If I hadn't chosen to just grab the bucket and head out, but checked the desk first, would I have avoided that unforeseen disaster?
Lan Qingyou scratched her head while looking at the chat logs.
Then she looked at the number of people in the Regional Channel.
Sure enough, it had plummeted from the previous 9961/1000 to 8857/1000.
That meant 1,104 people were lost in a single night.
Lan Qingyou didn't look at the World Channel because it was too far away for her; taking care of herself was hard enough.
It seemed that before heading out every day, she should check the chat channel for the latest info, just like checking an almanac before leaving the house in the old days, to avoid something like today happening again.
Whatever, bath first.
As for water... why make things hard on herself? At most, she'd just order it all from Shang Chuan in the future.
After this "crash incident," Lan Qingyou clearly understood her weaknesses.
After her bath, she began making light potions.
Though she really wanted to read and absorb knowledge to strengthen herself...
Her Magic Hurricane Lamp only had a few days left. If she wanted to stay home and read for a long time, these preparations were necessary.
Although she had found quite a few mushrooms in Albert's basement, they were only enough for one batch of potions at most.
Just after 6:00 PM, a batch of light potions, a batch of +30 Healing Potions, and a batch of +30 Mana Potions were finished.
【Light Potion (E)】
【Effect: Continuously emits light for 10,080 minutes.】
【Description: A potion that emits light, preventing you from fumbling in the dark. Can be used with a magic hurricane lamp for even better results.】
They lasted 7 days, just like the one that came with the Magic Hurricane Lamp.
After keeping ten for herself and sending one each to her three friends—Gu Xiaobei, Li Huai, and Shang Chuan—she threw the rest onto the exchange.
As for the mana and healing potions, Lan Qingyou didn't sell them, keeping them all as reserves.
“Lan Qingyou's shop has new items.”
“Light Potion?”
“What is Lan Qingyou doing making this? She should make more mana and healing potions.”
“Shut up, you idiot. Didn't you see it says to use it with the hurricane lamp? Why didn't you just die yesterday? You're so dense.”
“Indeed. Someone like that being alive is an insult to our District 666 Villain's Valley.”
“Crap!”
While the light potion wasn't like a mana or healing potion that could help in combat, it was a huge help in daily life.
Especially after having just experienced a night without light.
Even for those forcibly transmigrated to this other world, that level of darkness was utterly foreign.
At 70 base units of materials per bottle for seven days—averaging 10 units a day—if you thought that was expensive, then don't buy it.
If you don't buy it, plenty of others will.
The 170-plus bottles were gone in minutes.
How's that for a sweet deal?
Whether others thought it was great or not, Lan Qingyou got what she wanted, so she began a full-scale cramming session.
She read every book she could find, thoroughly digesting them. Developing a potion to treat her legs as soon as possible would be her greatest improvement and the most effective solution.
Although the Healing Potion was for "healing," it had no effect on her legs.
So, in the end, she could only place her hopes on developing a 'special medicine' herself.
