After all, it wasn't a professional cauldron, so there was no telling what the outcome would be.

Fortunately, it turned out fine.

It restores 3 mana per second for 10 seconds.

According to the appraisal results, it only has 2 points less mana than the potion made in a cauldron.

Although it doesn't compare to the original version, it is definitely a godsend for those who don't have much mana.

The main point is that the soup pot produces a large quantity.

One soup pot plus one iron Water Bucket can produce 400 vials per batch; adding the 200 vials from the cauldron, that's 600 vials per batch.

That's 1,200 vials a day.

If you add the 1,000 vials produced by the hundred Enamel Jars, wouldn't that be 2,200 vials?

Terrifying!

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

Looking at these pots and jars, Lan Qingyou clicked her tongue in secret.

Lan Qingyou: "Do you have any extra test tubes on hand?"

Shang Chuan: "I do, but they are all recycled ones that have been used, and they are currently being cleaned."

Look at that, just look at that!

This is what you call professional.

Lan Qingyou: "How many are there?"

Shang Chuan: "1,530 vials; 1,120 have been cleaned, and 410 are still waiting to be cleaned."

Lan Qingyou: "Give me the cleaned ones first."

Shang Chuan: "The price has gone up now; quite a few merchants are driving up the price."

Lan Qingyou: "I'll give you one extra unit of materials."

As she spoke, Lan Qingyou asked about the current price, then gave him an extra unit of materials, and incidentally gave him a few Apprentice-Grade Mana Potions as a tip for his hard work in cleaning.

After all, this work was originally meant for her to do, so now that someone else was doing it for her, she wouldn't be stingy.

Shang Chuan: "Deal."

After obtaining the test tubes, Lan Qingyou began to process the brewed potions.

Processing the mana potions was easy enough, as they only needed to be filtered. Even if the attributes were different, it didn't matter, as long as she filtered the ones with higher attributes first, they wouldn't be contaminated.

But when it came time to process the potions in the Enamel Jars, Lan Qingyou felt like pulling her hair out.

To prevent the potions from being contaminated, every time she switched to a different potion, she had to thoroughly clean the filter, wine dispenser, funnel, gauze used for filtering, slotted spoon, and any other tools that had come into contact with the previous potion.

Starting from 5 PM, Lan Qingyou stayed busy until dark before she finished bottling the potions from those Enamel Jars.

[Rough Strength Potion (E-)]

[Effect: Increases Strength by 2 points for 60 minutes after use.]

[Description: A potion that is neither a success nor a failure; it makes one want to complain, but one doesn't even know where to start.]

[Rough Agility Potion (E-)]

[Effect: Increases Agility by 2 points for 60 minutes after use.]

[Rough Stamina Potion (E-)]

[Effect: Increases Stamina by 2 points for 60 minutes after use.]

[Rough Spirit Potion (E-)]

[Effect: Increases Spirit by 2 points for 60 minutes after use.]

"As expected, if it's not brewed in a professional cauldron, no matter how correct the process is, you won't get a good rating."

Looking at the potions appraised by the Small Screen, Lan Qingyou sighed.

She then placed another vial in her hand, which contained a pale yellow liquid, onto the device.

[Rough Slowing Potion (E-)]

[Effect: The target hit will have their Agility reduced by 1 point for 10 seconds.]

[Description: A potion that is neither a success nor a failure; it makes one want to complain, but one doesn't even know where to start.]

Hmm, the effect is 2 points worse than what is recorded in Potions Study.

It's a "better than nothing" product, but Lan Qingyou didn't care.

The Enamel Jars were meant for her to practice with anyway.

For any potions or magic brews she hadn't refined before, she would use this stuff to practice first, making it easier for her to operate with the cauldron later.

That's right.

This was Lan Qingyou's secret weapon—Potions Study.

Although she had tried her best to avoid being discovered or followed, she possessed zero combat ability after all.

Things would be different with a Slow Potion.

If she encountered an enemy, she could simply throw a batch at them and use her aerial mobility to escape with much greater ease.

If she combined it with the Moonlight Stone Dagger that granted +30 Strength, a counter-kill might not even be out of the question.

However, her previous plan to brew two batches of potions a day would likely have to be scrapped.

After all, she was already this exhausted after brewing one batch; if she did two, she wouldn't be able to study at all—she'd just collapse and fall asleep.

Now, three pots could produce 600 potions, so there was no need to push herself that hard.

Since they had already been forcibly transported to another world, playing the "996" work-culture game clearly wasn't suitable; it was better to take it easy.

Thinking of this, Lan Qingyou poured the Agility Potion she had been using for identification, the Agility Potion still in the Enamel Jar that hadn't been bottled yet, and the crude Slow-Acting Magic Potion all under the tree outside to destroy them.

After all, she would be relying on the Slow-Acting Magic Potion to save her life for the foreseeable future.

Although the Agility Potion only added 1 point, she couldn't say it posed absolutely no threat to her.

Only by ensuring they didn't exist at all would Lan Qingyou feel at ease.

As for the remaining potions, she put everything up for sale except for the Apprentice Magic Potion, which granted +50 Mana.

The Attribute Potions were listed at a 1:10 ratio, while the +30 Mana Potions were 1:30.

As for the +50 Mana Potions, she used them all for trading.

After all, many people had been out gathering today, and she also needed to trade for blueprints.

In the end, Lan Qingyou harvested 180 catties of herbs, one Bookshelf blueprint, and one Distiller blueprint, after which she closed the trade listing for herbs.

180 catties of various herbs were more than enough—completely enough.

Even if she consumed 12 catties a day, she would have enough for a full half-month.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Big Boss Lan is selling +30 Mana Potions this time!"

"Hm? Isn't it +50?"

"Big Boss Lan must have seen our discussion yesterday. +50 is very unfriendly to those of us with low Spirit, but +30 is different; I can actually use it."

"Indeed, although I only have 2 points of Spirit, using a +30 potion doesn't feel like a waste."

"As long as you pace yourself, the recovered Mana won't overflow."

"I didn't expect Big Boss Lan to be so considerate of us. She's so kind, I'm crying."

"You're only talking about the Mana Potions? Didn't you see there are Attribute Potions too?"

"What's there to discuss about something that only adds 1 point of attributes?"

"It's probably just Big Boss Lan's practice work, like the +10 Mana Potions from before. Look, Big Boss Lan isn't even selling those anymore."

"Is she so desperate for materials that she's selling these kinds of potions?"

"I wouldn't go that far. Even if they're a bit weak, they're barely usable, especially for someone like me with low Spirit."

"I'd say they're worth it just for being cheap. 10 units of materials—even someone with 1 point of Spirit could use a Spirit Potion to perform the Gathering Art and collect 20 units of materials. It pays for itself instantly."

"The math guy is back, but I support you this time. I'm going to buy one to taste the flavor of magic. Since we've been forcibly transported to another world, if I don't try magic, wouldn't I have come here for nothing?"

"Hahaha, well said. It's only 10 units anyway. I'll buy a Strength Potion too; once I eat it, I'll have 10 points of Strength."

"Holy crap! Human limit! What did you do before?"

"I was a butcher, and I happened to kill a few people along the way."

"Sorry, my mistake."

Seeing this, Lan Qingyou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although District 666 was the Valley of Villains, the people here were quite interesting, and they spoke so sweetly.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

At this moment, Lan Qingyou's friend list lit up.
