Chapter 14 - Potion [1]

"Using an Elite monster core for your first time, you are really lucky." Amelia congratulated him with some envy.

Shane, who was immersed in his world the entire time without caring about their conversation, opened his mouth for the first time, "Wow, is this how nobles take potions, I can't believe this method exists."

"What did you find, Shane?" Amelia and Head asked.

They had never seen Shane lose his composure, so they were a little surprised.

"This is simply perfection! I wish I knew this kind of technique existed early."

Seeing Shane wasn't even listening to them, Head hardly slapped him on the head.

"Why did you slap me? Can't you see I'm researching?"

"We are talking to you, and you did not listen to our question."

"I'm sorry, I forgot in excitement."

"So, what did you find?" Amelia asked.

"Amelia, how did I make your potion for you?"

"Well, you extracted the core's essence and combined them with spirituality and auxiliary materials to make them."

"Exactly, but with these materials given by Nova, I don't need to use spirituality to combine essence and auxiliary materials."

"You know what that means? We can extract almost every single drop of essence without wasting anything and get the greatest benefit."

Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, even Nova. Although Nova didn't know many things about labyrinth, he knew almost everything about potions and how to use them.

Potions made by potion makers are divided by their quality. The top-quality potions available for the general public only have eighty percent efficiency, meaning one can only get eighty percent of the benefits from the materials.

But from Shane's explanation, the materials given by Eric had the miracle of extracting one hundred percent of the essence.

"Since you found the method, does that mean we can get rich? Can we start a business from this?" Head asked, unable to contain his excitement. His hands and legs were shivering in excitement.

"That is.. not possible." Shane hesitated a little and replied. "This set of auxiliary material combinations is only applicable for Toxsona and it also requires a specific amount of each material."

"If I have enough time and money, maybe I could figure that out after a long time, but it's not worth it, at least not for ordinary people like us."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. They could probably understand Shane's frustration. A method to get rich is right in front of them, but they're not the chosen one's; It's a bitter pill to swallow.

'So that's why Eric gave it to me without caring anything.'

'It seems this method is exclusive to nobles. Maybe the other major factions and the royal family also have something similar.'

Nova guessed the noble families and others might use this method to keep everything under their control.

Nova sighed and stopped his train of thought. He didn't want to get consumed by his own jealousy and envy.

"Nova, take this. There is no problem with the materials." Shane handed him the bag and continued, "But keep an eye on the potion maker, I don't know about her character."

"Okay, I'll come back." Nova nodded and moved towards Lana's tent.

He also understood Shane's concern, although he didn't think they would do something with the potion, he decided to follow Shane's advice.

'It's better to be safe than sorry.'

"Miss Lana, I'm here," Nova called out loud after reaching her tent.

"Come inside." Only a voice invited Nova.

'Sigh, I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to go inside a lady's tent? Whatever, I'm not at fault.'

"Miss Lana," Nova called again after stepping inside the tent.

To his surprise, Dave was already inside the tent.

"Wow, Nova, you are on time. It's surprising for an explorer to have this habit."

Hearing Dave, Nova blinked in surprise. He obviously didn't expect Dave to start the conversation.

"It's something my grandmother taught me."

"Mmm, so what do you think about our team? Did you get enough information from the Shark Team?"

Dave suddenly asked, his smile disappeared, replaced by a serious face.

'Why is he asking me? Did he want to check my sincerity?'

Without being able to guess Dave's purpose, Nova decided to be honest, "From what I learned so far, I don't think our team can survive the battle against the King."
