Chapter 29 Life Potion
Seeing what had come out of the Black Iron Chest, Qin Zhen broke into a wide, eye-crinkling smile, her mood absolutely wonderful.
She had actually pulled a Blueprint for a Life Potion!
Sure, she had "Blessing of Light" to restore her HP, so she didn't really need Life Potions herself.
But that didn't mean other people didn't need them!
It had been said that Light Affinity and Dark Affinity were both rare Magic Attributes, so very few people would possess them.
So what would those without Light Affinity use to replenish their HP? Life Potions, of course.
[Actually, Host, Wood Affinity and Water Affinity may also produce skills that restore HP, you know.]
Qin Zhen: "......"
Then what was so special about Light Affinity? What made it rare? Huh?
[However, only Light Affinity can provide healing to others — Wood Affinity and Water Affinity only produce skills that restore the user's own status.]
[And it also counters Dark Affinity. When you use Light Affinity Skills, you deal increased damage to creatures with Dark Affinity.]
She thought about those troublesome Netherfiend Creatures that had appeared over the past two days.
Fine. Qin Zhen accepted that explanation.
Besides, beyond Light Affinity, Wood Affinity, and Water Affinity, there were still many other Magic Attributes out there.
So the market for Life Potions was still very promising!
She had both Clotgrass and Pine Resin, but where was she supposed to find Dandelions?
Sigh......
Qin Zhen glanced at the Crimson Bone Spirit Umbrella — "blocks special rain"?
Was it hinting at something?
Whatever, she'd hold onto it for now.
Qin Zhen equipped both the Crimson Gold Round Hat (Blue) and the Ice Silk Gloves (Blue), then stowed the gear she'd swapped out along with the other items from the chest that she couldn't use yet into the warehouse.
She had now upgraded all her equipment to Blue-grade, and she even had one piece of Purple-tier Gear!
Qin Zhen used all her Inventory Expansion Cards, expanding her backpack to 120 slots.
She consumed all her Attribute Orbs as well: Constitution +21, Attack +30, Defense +30, Speed +39, Intelligence +42, Luck +18.
Lunchtime had arrived, so Qin Zhen steamed a pot of Rice along with 2 kg of Tier 1 Black-tusk Wild Bull Meat. After eating, she gained Constitution +2.
The effect of the Black-tusk Wild Bull Meat was diminishing......
After the meal, Qin Zhen got straight back to work without pause, crafting Iron Axes, Arrows, and fulfilling orders for Spike Fences.
Over the course of the day, she crafted a total of four hundred and eighty Iron Axes, two hundred Arrows, and one hundred Spike Fences.
For each Arrow she crafted, she also added two Common Monster Materials, yielding Arrows (White).
The damage was lower than the Blue-grade Arrows she'd gotten from Treasure Chests, but the advantage was sheer quantity — Qin Zhen could now use them freely without worry.
Today's net earnings: Refined Iron ×3,280, Common Monster Materials ×400, Stone ×240.
Combined with her previous stockpile, she now had a total of Refined Iron ×6,079, Stone ×465, Common Monster Materials ×1,456.
Five waves of monsters had come today as well, fifteen per wave.
Qin Zhen had already leveled up by the time she finished clearing the third wave.
Qin Zhen's current Status Panel looked like this:
[Player: Qiyezhenzhen
Gender: Female
Level: 8 (EXP: 1,151 / 5,000)
Constitution: 86 + 30 (equipment bonus) (You are as strong as an ox.)
Attack: 97 + 100 (equipment bonus) (You are terrifyingly powerful now.)
Defense: 69 + 30 + 30 + 30 (equipment bonus) (Your Defense is super high.)
Intelligence: 121 + 30 + 30 (equipment bonus) (You are doing very well.)
Speed: 117 + 30 (equipment bonus) (Your Speed is incredibly fast.)
Luck: 47 (You are especially lucky.)
Magic Attribute — Ice Affinity: 31, Skill: Glacial Ring; Light Affinity: 21, Skill: Blessing of Light.
HP: 860 + 300
MP: 1,210 + 300 + 300]
The loot dropped by the monsters was also considerable.
Aside from the meat and various materials dropped by the Netherfiend Demon Wolves themselves, Qin Zhen obtained Wooden Chest ×40 and Black Iron Chest ×12.
Opening the Wooden Chests yielded: [Mineral Water 500ml ×100, Bread 200g ×100, Cup Noodles ×60, Rice 1kg ×50, Gauze ×100, Cement ×100, Lounge Chair ×1, Wooden Bed ×1, Beer 500ml ×10].
Opening the Black Iron Chests yielded: Blue-grade Equipment ×8, Green-grade Equipment ×5, Thunder Affinity Skill Book ×1, Attribute Orb ×30, Inventory Expansion Card ×30, Clotgrass ×100, Dandelion ×100.
As usual, Qin Zhen used up the Inventory Expansion Cards — her backpack now had 150 slots.
She consumed the Attribute Orbs: Speed +30, Attack +30, Defense +30.
Qin Zhen placed the Lounge Chair and the Wooden Bed inside the shelter, feeling very satisfied with today's chest haul.
She'd been sleeping on a Mattress for so long — she finally had a proper bed!
And to top it off, she'd even gotten Cement from the Wooden Chests. That was an essential material for upgrading the Shelter, and after all this time, she'd finally laid eyes on some.
She also now had all the materials for the Life Potion.
One Life Potion required: Clotgrass ×10, Dandelion ×5, Pine Resin ×5.
With the materials she currently had, she could craft a maximum of two hundred Life Potions.
Crafting Life Potions took very little time — within half an hour, Qin Zhen had produced all two hundred.
She kept fifty for herself and listed the remaining one hundred and fifty in the Trading Zone.
[Life Potion ×1: Trade for Clotgrass ×15, Dandelion ×8, Pine Resin ×8] ×150.
Even though she had "Blessing of Light," it only restored 30 HP at a time, whereas a single Life Potion restored 100 HP. In a critical situation, a Life Potion would be far more effective.
Without bothering to check on the Life Potion sales, Qin Zhen began crafting Spike Fences through the night.
Yes — the Spike Fences outside her Shelter had been destroyed again.
The outer layer went without saying, but the inner layer's Durability had also dropped significantly. At this rate, one more monster wave tomorrow would probably finish it off.
So she needed to hurry and craft as many Spike Fences as possible right now.
Fortunately, her Constitution had grown considerably over these past two days, and it now took her only about a minute to craft a single Spike Fence.
Qin Zhen consumed Refined Iron ×1,380, Stone ×460, Common Monster Materials ×288, and Tier 1 Monster Materials ×80 to craft thirty-six Spike Fences (White) and ten Spike Fences (Green).
Once finished, she quickly set up all the Spike Fences around the outside of the Shelter — every last one of them.
Because she had a feeling that tomorrow would be the most dangerous day yet.
With everything prepared, Qin Zhen lay down on the bed to rest.
She opened the Chat Channel.
[White Olive Tree: Ahhhh someone is selling Life Potions in the Trading Zone!]
[Xiaofeixia: What?! What's a Life Potion? I've never heard of that.]
[YouMustBeStarving: It's a potion that restores a hundred HP. There's only a tiny chance of getting one from a Black Iron Chest — I can't believe someone already got the Blueprint......]
[The Golden House Within Books: I only ever got one bottle total, and I drank it when I was nearly dead. It was a genuine lifesaver!]
[Zhuzhu's Secret: Why does it feel like other people are playing a completely different game from us? Could there be Beta Players?]
[Nescafé: I feel the same way. Just look at the top players on the Leaderboard — their gear is absolutely insane. Especially the number one, Qiyezhenzhen. She already has Purple-tier Gear, and I haven't even filled all my Green-grade Equipment slots yet......]
