Highland Drake Strength Potion (Third Update)
"This is a level 10 Highland Drake Strength Potion! I've never seen one this good before. The purity should be over 95%," Zhang Jing said.
Bai Xiaowen scanned the area with his keen Insight and smiled happily, "97% purity."
"Great, this top-tier potion is sure to cause a sensation," Zhang Jing said with a smile.
Bai Xiaowen quickly said, "No, this potion was specially made for Shu Yi."
"Huh?" Li Shuyi, standing to the side, looked completely bewildered.
Sun Hecheng: "This is... a New Year's gift? Little Bai is really thoughtful."
Li Shuyi blushed slightly, and gracefully accepted the Highland Drake Strength Potion: "Xiao Wen, thank you."
"Don't thank me yet. Actually, this potion isn't a gift; it's just a bonus," Bai Xiaowen said to Li Shuyi, taking out the Gold Equipment [Matriarch's Bracer] he had obtained from the Snakefolk boss, Eliki, from his Storage Space. "The real New Year's gift is this. However, your base strength is one point below this equipment, so I specially made a Enhancement Potion for you."
Li Shuyi exclaimed, took the Matriarch's Bracer, and after checking its attributes, said with delight, "Why didn't you say anything all this time? You really know how to keep it a secret!"
Bai Xiaowen smiled without saying a word.
Li Shuyi suddenly remembered. "Xiao Wen, your wristband seems to be only of Blue Quality?"
Bai Xiaowen understood Li Shuyi's meaning and shook his head, saying, "Although my [Archery Bracer] don't add any attributes, they increase ranged physical damage by 10%, which is quite good and suitable for me. This Gold Equipment's passive skill increases melee attack speed by 20%, which is suitable for you. You'd better stop pushing it, quickly drink the potion, and put on this equipment first."
Li Shuyi nodded and did not continue to refuse.
Li Shuyi had a solid foundation from a young age. Before becoming Quasi-Awakened, she had only used Enhancement Potion once. Now, after taking the second bottle, the pain multiplier is 2. The level 10 Highland Drake Potion has a pain value index of 1044 given by the CS Association (Alchemist Association). Therefore, Li Shuyi needs to endure a pain value of 2088.
For Li Shuyi, this number is still manageable. Although her mental state is not high, her willpower is quite strong.
Bai Xiaowen also had full confidence in Li Shuyi. Back then, Han Xu had taken the Enhancement Potion for the fourth time, and his pain level had increased eightfold, reaching over 6000, yet Han Xu still managed to pass. Now, Li Shuyi was only taking it for the second time, so there would definitely be no problem.
Li Shuyi downed the Highland Drake Strength Potion in one gulp, then sat down in a chair, biting her lip, her face pale. Beads of sweat seeped from her skin.
Bai Xiaowen reached out and grasped Li Shuyi's small hand, which Li Shuyi gripped tightly in return, exerting a heavy squeezing force. Of course, compared to Bai Xiaowen's physique, this grip strength was nothing.
Both Zhang Jing, the old shop manager, and Sun Hecheng held their breath.
The enhancement process only lasted a dozen minutes, but for the people in the room, it felt like several hours.
"Call..."
Li Shuyi breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The enhancement was successful." Bai Xiaowen also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was confident in Li Shuyi, his concern made him lose his composure, and he was afraid that something unexpected might happen.
Li Shuyi nodded. "My hands and feet feel a little numb... I've received a notification that my strength has increased by 5 points."
"After all, it's a 97% pure Highland Drake Strength Potion. The probability of it increasing strength by 5 points is 85%, with only a 15% chance of bad luck and only increasing strength by 4 points." As Alchemist, Sun Hecheng is very sensitive to purity.
He had one more thing to say: if Bai Xiaowen's power potion were to appear at an auction, it would absolutely fetch an astronomical price. Ordinary people would never be able to snag a potion of this caliber, because Awakened Ones would be waving huge Psionic Points at the bid, and compared to Psionic Points, Earth's currency was simply too uncompetitive.
With her base strength increased by 5 points, Li Shuyi finally met the requirements to wear the [Matriarch's Bracer], and she chose to replace her original Blue Gear [Knight's Bracer].
Both pieces of equipment increase strength by 2 points, but the [Matriarch's Bracer], being Gold Equipment, offers a significant boost with an additional 20% increase in melee attack speed. Furthermore, after consuming the Highland Drake Strength Potion, Li Shuyi's total strength reaches 27 points, further enhancing her offensive capabilities.
In addition, Bai Xiaowen was also concerned about one other thing: his World Fame award.
More than three months have passed since Bai Xiaowen won B-Tier Spirit Realm Ticket and made a fortune in the Kane Plane. During this time, Bai Xiaowen's World Fame has remained at C-Tier, and he has been given another chance to participate in the C-Tier roulette draw.
Following the release of the new CG on the Virtual Battle Platform, Bai Xiaowen's World Fame has risen further, bringing him closer to achieving B-Tier fame. However, to be honest, it's virtually impossible for a college student who hasn't yet entered the Professional League to reach B-Tier or higher Plane Fame Earth.
Bai Xiaowen's visit to the Super God Potion Shop was not only to make potions for Li Shuyi, but also to visit Zhang Jing and Sun Hecheng, two elders who had mentored her. Next, Bai Xiaowen planned to take Li Shuyi to Li Beihai's place— Li Beihai and his wife had already mentioned to their daughter several times that she hadn't come home at all during winter vacation...
Next is Lunar New Year's Eve, followed by the Spring Festival.
This was Bai Xiaowen's first Spring Festival since arriving in the Psychic Energy Era, and it was much the same as the Spring Festival in the Common Era. The familiar gala was there, but the performers were no longer the same familiar faces from before.
It is worth mentioning that the two Eaglet have grown to a foot in length and entered their growth period. Their beaks are hooked, their eyes are sharp, and they have begun to show the majestic and powerful appearance of White Eagle.
As they enter their growth stage, the two Eaglet have officially become Elite Template mutated birds, currently possessing Elite Tier- level 1 attributes and only one skill: Peck.
Perhaps due to the catalytic effect of Psionic Particles, the mutated beasts have a very short reproduction period and a short growth time. It is estimated that in a few months, the Eaglet will enter adulthood and will also gain skills such as claw attacks and wing strikes, and will also be able to carry people and fly.
However, captive-bred Eaglet are basically at the top of the Elite Template, and there is a big gap between them and the Leader Tier template of wild adult White Eagle. This is a common problem with captive-bred mutant beasts.
This issue has also attracted many experts to analyze and discuss it. Currently, there are several conclusions that are widely accepted in academia, such as the catalytic effect of Psionic Particles, the fact that artificially raised animals have not experienced the wind and rain of the wild, and the lack of training in hunting for food during the critical juvenile and growth periods, etc., which will not be elaborated here.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, taking advantage of the festive atmosphere, Bai Xiaowen summoned the lottery wheel.
"The God of Dice brings prosperity to the nation, the Roulette saves the country, open it for me!" Bai Xiaowen flicked the pointer with one finger.
