Chapter 391: Potion Making

“Activating teleportation... ”
“Teleportation complete. ”
Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng found himself back in a dilapidated warehouse in Edge Creek Town.
It had been three days since he left District 7.
A few game hints immediately appeared.
“Hint: as you have not participated in the raids in Edge Creek Town recently, your reputation points in the Scavenger Army have slightly decreased. ”
“Hint: Roche’s friendship with you has declined slightly. ”
“It’s a bit troublesome... ” Fang Heng muttered in a low voice.
Running back and forth between the two servers, he couldn’t trigger some of the Scavenger Army’s quests, which directly caused their friendship value to drop.
If he delayed a week or two later, he would probably be expelled by the Scavenger Army.
Walking out of the dilapidated warehouse, Fang Heng returned to the town’s central square.
There were only a few scattered Scavenger Army NPCs in the square.
Fang Heng looked around and walked straight to the exchange merchant, Yatu, at the corner of the square.
“Fang Heng, where have you been these two days? Roche has dropped by to look for you several times, but you were never here. He’s very unhappy. ”
“Sleeping. ”
Fang Heng stretched his body muscles.
“I’ve been dozing off a lot recently. By the way, is it a side effect of the divine potion? ”
“Are you here to cheat me, friend? ” Yatu raised his eyelids and replied, “The divine potion can only make people excited and improve their physique. It’s not a sleeping pill. ”
“I’m just joking. ” Fang Heng laughed. “Where’s Roche? ”
“Early in the morning, he took his men to attack the survivors’ shelter. As you know, they’ve been very excited. Recently, the plan to attack Edge Creek Town has encountered a lot of obstacles. The survivor’s shelter has always been able to make defensive arrangements ahead of us. Roche has become more and more irritable. ”
“Oh. ” Fang Heng helplessly spread his hands. He thought, “With Cheng Ya, the Federation’s spy, in the Scavenger Army, it would be a wonder if Roche and the others could succeed so smoothly. ”
“Is there any mission that I can help you with? ” Fang Heng asked.
“You should ask Roche about this. ”
“Isn’t he coincidentally not here? ” Fang Heng checked the exchange column of Yatu and said, “I have nothing to do. What materials do you need? I can think of a way to help you find them. ”
Yatu replied, “I don’t lack materials. I only lack survivors who can make potions. If you can help me find a suitable person, I am willing to provide you with a satisfactory reward. ”
“Hint: you have triggered the mission ‘Troubled Yatu’ . ”
Mission description: Yatu is currently worrying about making potions. Please find some potioneers and bring them to him.
Mission reward: Scavenger Army points.
“Making potions? ” Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
He had just learned potionology by reading books on Occult.
Potionology was a branch of Occult. In the current world of Zombie Apocalypse, potioneers belonged to the branch of potion making and medical treatment.
“Could Potionology be used to make common potions? ” Fang Heng wondered.
“It’s always the darkest under the lamp. ” Fang Heng pointed at himself. “Look, I’m a professional potioneer. ”
“You? ” Yatu looked confused, sizing up Fang Heng.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Fang Heng was talking nonsense.
“Of course. Before the zombie apocalypse, I had a professional potioneer’s license. Unfortunately, after the zombie apocalypse... ”
Yatu didn’t believe a single word Fang Heng said.
Ignoring Fang Heng’s long-windedness, Yatu turned around and took out five bottles of different colors from the small box behind him. He placed them on the ground one by one.
“Tell me what these bottles are. ”
“Huh, are you testing me? ”
Fang Heng appeared relaxed on the surface, but he wasn’t confident in his heart.
He casually reached out his hand and picked up a pale yellow potion to observe.
As soon as he held the potion bottle, a game hint refreshed in front of him.
“Hint: you have obtained an unappraised potion. ”
“Hint: detected that you currently possess the skill ‘potionology foundation. ‘ You can choose to consume mental strength to analyze and appraise the potion. ”
“Analyze, ” Fang Heng thought to himself.
A gentle stream of mental strength flowed into the potion.
If Yatu were to carefully observe the potion, he would definitely notice that there were tiny bubbles forming in the liquid.
After Fang Heng used less than a third of his mental strength, game hints appeared again.
“Hint: through the skill ‘basic potionology’ level 1, you have analyzed the potion formula and its effects. The potion has a short-term painkilling effect. ”
“Hint: you have obtained a new potion formula. Please name the potion. ”
“I can get formulas just by using a little mental strength? ” Fang Heng raised his eyebrows, thinking that the potionology skill was amazing.
An ordinary potioneer would have to spend money to buy the formula or work hard to get the formula.
“Painkilling potion. ”
“Hint: player has successfully named the potion. Player can choose the said potion in the formula column to make it (you need to prepare the ingredients in advance) . ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Yatu’s eyes. “Did he really make a judgment? And just by looking at it? ”
Usually, a potioneer would be extremely careful with determining unknown potions. They would need to go through various means of determination, and the final conclusion might not even be correct.
Yatu thought, “It’s not possible to determine the type of potion just by observing it with the naked eye. It could also be a random guess that Fang Heng made. Maybe he just happened to use such a potion before. ”
He then said, expressionlessly, “You’re right. ”
To increase the difficulty, Yatu pointed at a colorless potion. “Let’s see. What about this one? ”
Fang Heng picked up the potion and injected his mental strength again.
This time, more than half of his mental strength was consumed.
“Hint: through the skill ‘basic potionology’ (level 1) , you have analyzed the potion formula and its effects. You have determined that this potion is a basic-level potion. This potion has a short-term muscle response enhancement effect. It can quickly increase the player’s basic agility attribute. ”
“Hint: you have obtained a new potion formula. Please name the potion. ”
“Short-term basic agility enhancement potion, ” said Fang Heng.
“Hint: player has successfully named the potion ‘short-term basic agility enhancement potion. ‘ Player can select the potion in the formula column to make it (you need to prepare the ingredients in advance) . ”
Looking at the surprised look on Yatu’s face, Fang Heng curled his lips. “Yatu, It’s not that I want to say this, but isn’t the effect duration of your potion a little too short? ”
Yatu saw Fang Heng in a new light.
It could be passed as a fluke if the latter had guessed correctly once, but he had guessed correctly twice.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Am I wrong? ”
“No, your analysis is correct. ” Yatu looked at Fang Heng. “How did you do it? ”
Fang Heng shrugged and said honestly, “Based on feeling. ”
“Based on feeling ? ! ” Yatu thought that Fang Heng simply didn’t want to reveal his tricks, so he pointed at another bottle. “Try this one. ”
