Chapter 57 Is it really that profitable?
[Mind Catcher] Achievement Rewards: Alchemy ability restored for one day, Alchemy level increased by two stars, and three sets of materials for the purple potion [Thought Gleaner]!
After dealing AOE damage as a consolation, Fu Chen naturally completed all the achievement tasks in one fell swoop.
Relax and easy.
This made him feel really comfortable.
My soul suddenly experienced an ultimate sublimation.
It might not be the absolute best.
Because his current alchemy skills are still sealed, but he has now gained the permission to unlock his alchemy skills for an extra day.
That makes it even more comfortable.
Alchemy level: Advanced four-star.
Generally speaking, the higher one's level, the more difficult it is to improve one's potion-making skills.
The level here refers not only to the recognition and affinity generated by the rules and logic of alchemists and those potions.
More importantly, there's the overall familiarity with this potion.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, but it's not as simple as just that...
In short, he rose several stars in alchemy level in such a short period of time, which is something that ordinary geniuses could never accomplish.
Even a prodigy with extraordinary talent, a scion of a family admired by all, and with countless resources at their disposal, would likely only reach the level of a high-level alchemist at the third stage of martial arts cultivation…
It will probably take at least one or two months to advance to the first-star level.
Others take one or two months, but…
The alchemy skills that others need to accumulate countless resources to achieve in one or two months are accomplished by Fu Chen in less than two days.
It was even many times faster than his cultivation speed when he was a prodigy.
So to be honest, although he can't use these abilities for the time being, he will gain a rapid increase in his own strength in return. Therefore, this deal is absolutely worthwhile, and even more worthwhile.
At this point, he was too lazy to care about the system's peculiar judgment that it had deemed it useless.
Furthermore, his abilities should be completely sealed away...
Thinking about it carefully, isn't this also a test of one's personal abilities?
Since he lacks alchemy skills and martial arts expertise, his problem-solving abilities will never be limited to those sealed-off powers.
They use their brains to solve problems more often.
However, there aren't many problems to solve here.
The main problem is that everyone is already in the mud. No one can say anything about anyone else. We're all pretty much the same. If you emerge from the mud, you'll be stained; if you try to wash yourself in clear water, you'll be all tainted.
In regular high schools, an individual's martial arts skills and alchemy abilities become even more important.
Because if classmates don't get along, they can immediately arrange a fight.
Whether it's a martial arts duel or a contest in alchemy, these are opportunities for two people to prove themselves.
The greater one's ability, the greater one's status.
In some top-tier high schools, a student's personal status is largely earned through physical combat.
Only by defeating other students can one solidify their position.
Ignoring all this nonsense for the time being, Fu Chen focused all his energy on the potion [Thoughts Gleaning].
He put the materials away.
Check the effects of this potion.
[Peeping into Thoughts]: Specify a target and you can choose from the following two options.
1: Choose a direction and try to peek into the other person's innermost thoughts.
2: Lacking direction, try to figure out what the other person is thinking at this moment.
Materials: Adaptive water, sildenafil, neck brace, sedatives…
Holy crap?
What the hell are these materials?
Where did you end up?
The effects of this potion don't seem to be related to anything in the BDSM community, so why are all the related materials about one particular aspect?
As a green potion, this situation isn't considered particularly difficult for a green-level potion.
Fu Chen believed he could still refine it, but the problem was... this thing didn't seem to be of much use to him right now.
However, whether something is useless or useful, it is still useful. If he can't use it, he can sell it.
So he immediately searched for the potion on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app) to check its market price.
Here comes an awkward situation: as another green potion, the one he had last time, which was positive and focused on repairing the body, sold for over 1000 each.
The potion "Peeping Thoughts" has an average market price of around 700, with the latest transaction price being only 560.
This price is way too low.
[Peeping into Thoughts] This is a magic potion.
It's neither mainstream nor niche.
The main problem is that there aren't many people who refine these kinds of things.
To be honest, this thing is a bit of a waste of time.
Because of the fast pace of modern society, efficiency is paramount in everyone's conduct and actions.
People spend time crafting potions or spend money buying things...
They all hope to gain significant benefits and improvements in a short period of time.
Whether it's emotional value or physical changes.
Therefore, the market for this kind of potion used to spy on other people's thoughts is actually not very ideal.
It may be useful in some special situations.
For example... when playing a game in a certain circle, observe how the other person thinks when you treat them.
But upon closer examination, in such a special occasion, it might not be really necessary.
Or it could be used to spy on the thoughts of one's business partners or competitors.
But this is actually even more unreasonable.
As a green potion, there are many more potions of even higher quality than it.
The efficacy of a potion is closely related to its medicinal properties and its grade.
This means that if it is used on some powerful individuals, it will only be a green-level Potion of Peeping Thoughts.
It is highly unlikely that it will produce very good returns and effects.
If the drug is applied to a powerful person, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
If these potions don't work on strong people, then what's the point of them?
For most people, the weak have virtually no value whatsoever.
I might as well keep it for myself; it won't sell for much money anyway.
Fu Chen isn't particularly short of money right now; he needs to think about whether this potion can be used for something more useful.
At this time.
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in commotion.
Everyone gathered around Chen Jiaxin and started making a fuss.
"Wow, Jiaxin, you actually made over 20 yuan through tarot readings! How come I've never heard you mention it before?"
Chen Jiaxin was stunned: "It's not 'baby,' we didn't have a 'before,' it's only been two days since school started."
