New Year X Potion Synthesis

Happy New Year.

The balcony on the third floor of the main building.

Kevin and Melusina stood there, each holding a cup of coffee, slowly sipping it.

Outside, heavy snowflakes fell gently, covering the entire Manor in a pure white blanket.

"It even snowed this year, that's really rare."

As she spoke, Melusina picked up her coffee, took a sip, and felt the warmth flow down her throat.

A sound came from afar, quickly growing closer.

"Hahaha! I'm number one!"

Laughing loudly, he dashed across the path below in the blink of an eye, carving a ditch in the snow in an instant.

Another sound of air being cut was heard, and Gon followed closely behind.

They kept chasing after him, head down.

Then came a series of figures flashing by.

Following them were Kurapika and Pairo. After the second group had passed, the third group slowly made their way through.

Kids have so much energy!

Leorio, panting heavily, struggled to run.

"That's right, that's right."

Squala stood beside him, his face contorted with difficulty.

As the two were talking, just as they were about to slow down, they felt a gaze directed at them.

He turned his head away.

Then I saw Biscuit eating their meal in the Garden Courtyard next door.

Faced with such a gaze, the two instantly tensed up, shut their mouths, and quickened their pace.

Oh no, oh no.

And on the balcony on the third floor.

Kevin and Melusina looked down.

"Has Leorio's physical abilities not yet reached their limit?"

Melusina was somewhat puzzled.

Kevin nodded. "He's probably still a little short. Hasn't he been studying medical technology for the past year or two? He must have neglected this area."

Because of the Digestion Potion, improving physical fitness becomes extremely easy.

It's more of a test of willpower.

If you're willing to train intensely after using Digestion Potion, the time it takes to push your muscles to their limits can be reduced to about two years.

This is without any particular talent.

If gifted children like Gon and Qi are given the Digestion Potion, they could reach their current life limits within six months.

The reason they didn't use digestive medicine was simply because these two people were still children, and their bodies were still growing rapidly. Using Digestion Potion would be somewhat counterproductive.

So use it, but you don't necessarily have to reach the current limit.

Even so, their physical condition was still better than the limits of ordinary people's physical abilities.

At that moment, Biscuit in the courtyard below lightly jumped, her body leaping into the air and landing beside the two.

Has the number of slots been finalized?

Biscuit asked.

Several months have passed since the Kakin Empire livestream incident, and many things have stabilized.

"The golden-haired messenger said there are ten in total."

Upon hearing this, Biscuit's veins throbbed.

"That annoying guy, he must have guessed how many of us would definitely go, so he planned to operate on a scale of ten."

As she spoke, Biscuit looked at Kevin.

"Are there any other people among these who still want to go?"

While not everyone is interested in the Dark Continent, there are quite a few people who are.

In particular, the exploration of the Dark Continent at the Manor has always been a central theme, and he has been deeply influenced by it, in addition to Kevin's previous enticement.

Kevin smiled.

"Don't worry, the Chairman has agreed to help me. His connections should be able to get me at least two more spots."

Biscuit nodded in satisfaction at this answer.

Then he spoke seriously.

"After this period of training, these people have basically reached their physical limits."

This was not surprising to the people at the Nosra Manor.

After all, they had been using Digestion Potion for a long time.

During this period, I only intensified my training, so naturally I reached my limit in a very short time.

"The problem now is their Nen ability control, and the most basic Nen level."

He rubbed his temples as he spoke.

"Qi and Gon definitely have a big advantage here. They are still young, and as their bodies grow and they train, they will quickly pull ahead of the others."

"The training won't be as effective for the others, since they were already training regularly while they were still on the Manor."

Simply put, the difference in talent between him and the other two is too great.

Hearing this, Kevin roughly understood and looked at Biscuit.

"I know, you're asking if there's any medicine that can help, right? Like something that can speed up their Nen depletion?"

Biscuit snapped her fingers, "That's right, you're getting more and more knowledgeable. There really aren't many shortcuts when it comes to controlling and using Nen Aura."

"But increasing your Nen level is relatively simple, so I guess you should have a suitable potion."

The increase in mental capacity is actually the most troublesome thing.

Because it's both simple and complicated.

Try your best to deplete your mental energy; the more and faster you deplete it, the faster it will recover and grow back.

It sounds simple, but the process is actually very complicated.

The consumption of Nen Aura can be compared to the consumption of physical strength.

When you have plenty, it's easy to consume, but as your reserves dwindle, it becomes increasingly difficult and painful to consume.

Just like continuing to train when your physical strength doesn't allow it, the pain and pressure you endure are doubled.

The same applies to Nen Aura.

As one's Nen Aura increases, once it reaches a certain level, consuming it becomes extremely time-consuming.

Take Kevin for example. If he wanted to deplete his normal 400,000 Nen, he could work tirelessly 24 hours a day using various techniques, but he might not be able to deplete it all.

Kevin pulled a vial from his waist and handed it to Biscuit.

"Don't worry, I prepared it a long time ago, a simple C-rank potion."

[Spurt Potion]

This thing is derived from a potion that enhances Nen Aura, since enhancing Nen Aura means increasing Nen Aura consumption.

Kevin amplified this point, turning it into a pure overload of Nen Aura.

"However, this thing has a certain side effect, which is that it can make your Nen Aura uncontrollable. In other words, when training your Nen power, you may not necessarily be able to train your Nen Aura control."

No sooner had she said that Biscuit reached out and tapped Kevin.

"Idiot, if your Nen Aura is out of control, shouldn't it be easier to train your control over Nen Aura?"

Kevin was taken aback by these words, and couldn't help but retort, "It's the kind of thing that's truly beyond control, caused by external forces."

Don't worry, it will still work.

She is an expert in this field and has sufficient confidence.

Holding the medicine, Biscuit jumped down.

Melusina suddenly asked, "Have you thought about who should get the two extra spots?"

The optimal solution is to include Nion and Rosana.

One can predict the future, the other can provide a safe haven.

However, since Kevin could say something like that, it was obviously impossible for him to take the two of them away.

"However, the optimal solution is simply impossible. Light will not allow us to take Nion with us; in his eyes, it would be tantamount to taking his daughter to her death."

"Even if he doesn't say it, he won't be happy inside, and Nion herself might not even want to go. Actually, you're against it in your heart, aren't you? Of course, I don't agree with it myself."

As Kevin said this, Melusina couldn't help but nod, not hiding her own thoughts.

"Nion is completely defenseless; that place is far too dangerous for her. Even the slightest accident could severely injure her."

As she spoke, she thought of Rosana again, but Melusina shook her head.

"Sister Rosana, she wouldn't want to go out. She's not even interested in traveling to more distant places, let alone going to the Dark Continent."

"Of course, if we ask her to go, she definitely won't refuse, after all, there are so many of us going, and we want to ensure our safety."

"But that's not good."

Kevin agreed with Melusina's words.

A crucial element in venturing to the Dark Continent is one's own will.

Once you go there, you will be constantly tested for survival.

The two of them had been through it.

It's a very demanding environment; those who lack strong willpower and clear goals will be driven mad by it.

Even with a safe base, it's the same.

"The remaining two spots are up to them; those who want to go will naturally work hard."

After finishing his conversation, Kevin went to his pharmaceutical preparation room alone.

He devoted himself entirely to the creation of the medicine.

Currently, he is only researching and producing one type of medicine.

That is a potion made primarily from the Ant King Heart.

"Fine."

Thinking about certain things, Kevin couldn't help but feel fortunate.

He didn't bring back many high-grade materials from the Dark Continent; due to the limitations of the smuggling environment, the amount of cargo he could carry was extremely limited.

You need to select materials that can be matched from these.

After careful selection, he actually managed to put together a suitable combination of materials.

"Come on, let's highlight the essence of integration. Can we succeed?"

Kevin took a deep breath and placed the different materials on the potion table.

[The user can integrate external substances into their own body.]

It's that kind of extremely vague description again.

However, this description confirms that the drug was successful.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Kevin adjusted his state, looked at the Alchemy Table in front of him, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

Slowly, both hands covered it.

This was the most superior potion he had ever concocted, bar none.

It even surpasses that Time System potion.

Because all three materials used this time are A-Rank.

The Ant King Heart, made of A-Rank top-tier material.

Berserk Beast Heart, A-Rank material of medium to high quality.

It was a colossal beast from the Dark Continent; Kevin didn't kill it, he just picked it up.

And the only A-Rank fusion material, a fruit from the territory of the Resentment Snake.

Fortunately, the actual consumption of A-Rank materials, even at the highest level, will not exceed one million.

So no matter what, Kevin can afford it.

Nen Aura surged.

The medicine dispenser started to rotate.

The enormous force surged forth in an instant.

Melusina, who was chatting with Men Qi in the kitchen, suddenly turned her head, and the other two clearly noticed as well.

Not just here.

Biscuit was watching everyone train in the Indoor Training Ground, also stood up abruptly.

Among the training group, Qi Gon, Ku Bian Pikachu, and others also noticed it.

The creatures being raised in the distant forest were also becoming restless.

"Is Kevin making pharmaceuticals? Why is he causing such a commotion?"

Biscuit frowned.

Kevin has made potions before, but never this far.

Generally, this can only be felt around the main building, and it only occurs when making high-level potions.

But this time, something was clearly wrong.

Simply put, he's about to create something amazing.

Time passed little by little.

This surge of Nen Aura continued unabated, showing no sign of abating.

One hour, two hours, five hours.

Twelve hours passed.

Under such circumstances, no one in the Manor was in the mood to sleep, as they simply couldn't fall asleep.

This relentless stimulation continued to provoke them, making it impossible for them to fully relax.

Is he a monster?

Qi, sitting on the edge of the Training Ground, couldn't help but complain.

"What?" Gon asked from the side, not understanding at first.

How long has this rampant behavior lasted?

"It's been half a day already."

"We stopped noticing it as soon as we left the Manor's perimeter, right?"

The two children were quite interested in this pressure; they had been testing the limits of this force for several hours.

The four-dimensional structure is maintained within the Manor's boundaries, extending approximately 1 kilometer outward from the main building.

This area is quite large; it falls right within the Manor's boundaries.

Of course, the outward expansion reduces the force.

The Indoor Training Ground where they are now is only a few hundred meters away from the main building, so the difference is naturally very obvious.

"This kind of unbridled surge of Nen Aura. Twelve hours have passed now. Have you calculated how much Nen Kevin has actually used?"

Upon hearing this, Gon counted on his fingers for a moment, and soon his eyes lit up.

"It's impossible to calculate, and is it possible that Uncle Kevin is replenishing his energy while consuming it?"

"Idiot!" Qi reached out and tapped Gon on the head.

"How could we possibly recover from such a massive level of consumption?"

Biscuit was also somewhat silent.

He was far more aware than Chi and Gon of the energy consumption and magnitude brought about by this kind of boundless energy.

"Did a trip to the Dark Continent really make him this powerful?"

Although she had sensed it when she met Kevin a few years ago, it wasn't until this moment that she fully understood how much Kevin had grown during that trip to the Dark Continent.

Suddenly, the raging torrent vanished.

"Finally, I can get a good night's sleep?"

Leo, who was already half asleep, said excitedly.

But now, the other people have lost the desire to sleep.

What will this situation lead to?

And in the Pharmaceutical Room.

Kevin stood up unsteadily.

"This is the first time I've ever used up so much of my mental energy."

More than 900,000.

Kevin's hands trembled as he stood up, because the punishment Nen Aura channeling Nen through his hands.

Even though his body could withstand the force, the continuous input still put considerable strain on his arms.

This was quite impressive; Kevin was constantly using his hands to Nen Aura, as if he had been fighting for twelve hours straight.

"Click."

The incision below popped open, and a section of the medicine popped out.

Kevin steadied himself as the Medicine Tube was pulled out.

A dazzling light couldn't help but emanate from it.

A yearning.

It comes from the heart.
