[Congratulations to challenger Lin Xiaoran for opening an A-rank treasure chest and obtaining an A-Rank Healing Potion (8 g)!] [A-Rank Healing Potion (8 g): Just one drop can heal any injury, and just ten drops can regrow a lost limb!] [National fortune supplies returned ten-thousandfold. Distribution of 10,000 bottles of A-Rank Healing Potion (8 g) has begun!]
Looking at the little green bottle in her hand, Lin Xiaoran couldn't help frowning. "How many drops are in eight grams?"
The usage instructions were hard to pin down, because everyone had a different standard for what counted as "one drop."
If I pour a little more and you pour a little less, both still count as one drop.
Still, this item was indeed extremely valuable. Just ten drops could regrow a lost limb! A lifesaving item worthy of the name!
Lin Xiaoran wondered, If I use it sparingly, could I exploit a bug? Wouldn't that give me several extra lives?
Whatever the case, Lin Xiaoran couldn't possibly test it now. That would be too wasteful.
Outside the game.
[Haha! I won! What good stuff!]
[Let me explain: by normal standards, eight grams of liquid can give you a full 100 drops!]
[That many!? Who won? I'm willing to pay for it! Any price!]
[Something this good should obviously be kept for yourself! It could save your life!]
[Oh my god! There's hope for my leg! I won! Haha! I'll try it right now!]
[You above, remember to come back and tell everyone how well it works!]
Inside an apartment building in a residential complex in Country L.
A young man sat in a wheelchair, holding a little green bottle. A middle-aged man and woman stood beside him, both watching his movements expectantly.
"Xiaokang, be careful! Don't waste it! If it doesn't work the first time, try a second time!" The middle-aged man wore glasses and looked incredibly nervous.
"Dad, don't worry. This came from the National Fortune Game. There definitely won't be any problems with its effects!" The young man named Xiaokang forced a calm smile, but inside, he was already so excited that even his hands were trembling.
Ever since a car accident a year ago had injured him and forced him to have his right leg amputated at the knee, Wu Kang, only twenty-three, had lost hope in life. He spent every day staring blankly in his wheelchair, unwilling even to respond to his parents, like a puppet.
Although their family had received compensation, their lives hadn't improved because of it. After their child had fallen into despair, Wu Kang's parents had visibly aged, their former vitality gone.
Before every National Fortune Game began, Wu Kang would think how wonderful it would be if he were chosen. That way, he could end this kind of life.
Yet today, his luck had turned.
As Country L's challenger, Lin Xiaoran had crushed her way through the entire National Fortune Survival Game. Whether rival competitors or ferocious beasts, all had fallen before her!
Especially now, Lin Xiaoran had killed an A-rank ferocious beast and obtained an item from a chest that could heal any injury! And he had even won the lottery!
Country L currently had a population of 2.1 billion! Yet there were only ten thousand slots for the returned supplies!
How much luck had it taken for him to be selected?!
At that moment, Wu Kang didn't even know what to say to express his excitement!
"Xiaokang, why don't you calm down first? It's not as if this thing will disappear while it's sitting here."
Seeing her son trembling nonstop, Wu Kang's mother feared he would waste something so precious.
After all, this healing potion was a treasure that money couldn't buy. If they wasted it, it would be gone.
"Hoo... hoo!"
Wu Kang closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. Even after repeating this several times, he couldn't calm down, and his body was still trembling. He opened his eyes and looked at his mother. "Mom, help me put the drops on!"
"Me? But... I'm not sure I can do it either!" His mother immediately panicked.
"Mom, I trust you! At least you're calmer than me right now! I don't want to wait, either. The longer I wait, the worse I feel. I'm even starting to feel sick!" Wu Kang said loudly.
When someone was nervous and excited to the extreme, it was like this: their body would react involuntarily.
"Go on, dear!" Wu Kang's father spoke up too.
"All right! I'll do it!"
Wu Kang's mother took the little green bottle from her son and crouched in front of the wheelchair. She pulled the empty leg of his trousers up past his knee, then unscrewed the cap.
"Mom, it's all right! Don't worry about wasting it!" As he spoke, Wu Kang closed his eyes again.
His mother took a deep breath. Looking at her son's amputated leg, images flashed through her mind of how dispirited and dejected Xiaokang had been over the past year.
Wu Kang wanted his leg restored, but how could his mother not want the same? She dreamed of her son becoming the sunny, cheerful Xiaokang he used to be!
At that, her hand steadied. She slowly tilted the little bottle, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the green liquid as it seeped out bit by bit, gathered into a small drop, then finally fell onto Wu Kang's leg.
Wu Kang felt a slight coolness against his skin and opened his eyes to look.
There was still no change in his leg.
His mother continued pouring. Suddenly, whether from nerves or something else, her hand trembled slightly!
She startled, thinking she had poured too much this time!
But she immediately realized that the drop she had poured was the same as the first.
Could it be that the potion dispensed a fixed amount each time?
Slightly puzzled, she continued what she had been doing and got a definite answer.
Finally, she finished pouring ten drops.
"Mom, your hands are so steady!" Wu Kang said joyfully.
"It's not that my hands are steady. This little bottle only lets you pour this much each time. It must be a setting in the National Fortune Game to stop people from using too much or too little," his mother explained, shaking her head.
"It even has a setting like that? That's wonderful!" Wu Kang laughed.
Then, the instant he finished speaking, his right leg suddenly shone with green light!
"Son! How are you feeling?!"
The sudden abnormality immediately sent both his parents into a panic.
"Mom! I'm fine! The potion's working!" Wu Kang hurriedly shouted.
The green light spread from his leg, outlining the shape of a leg. Green bones, meridians, and blood vessels appeared one after another, without looking frightening.
"Son, does it hurt?!" his mother asked worriedly.
"I'm fine! It doesn't hurt at all! It actually feels really comfortable!"
Wu Kang was surprised too. All he felt was a cool, comfortable sensation in his right leg.
Soon, the light gradually faded, and flesh-colored skin appeared inch by inch from the amputation site, all the way to his toes.
In that short time, Wu Kang's right leg had been restored!
"How is it? Can you move it?"
"I think... I can..." Wu Kang tried moving his foot and felt nothing unusual.
Then he stood up under his parents' worried gazes!
After taking a couple of steps, he even jumped up and down on the spot!
"Dad! Mom! I'm better! I'm really better!"
Wu Kang cried with joy.
His parents came over and wrapped their arms around him, and all three burst into tears!
Heaven knew how silent the atmosphere at home had been since the accident. Whatever they said or did, they had to tread carefully, afraid of upsetting their son.
Now everything was all right. Their son was healthy again!
[Thank you, Student Lin! Thank you, God Ran! You gave me my leg back! You restored my health! God Ran! I'll put up a longevity tablet for you at home! I'll always cheer you on!]
[Also, everyone, don't worry about the dosage. The healing potion only lets you pour one drop at a time. There are a hundred drops in one little bottle, which is plenty!]
