First Potions
...
...
In front of me stood a 5-liter pot and five 250-milliliter bottles
And also all the herbs that I received from yesterday's task
I spent 1,700 Yen on all this, almost a third of my money
I sold the fish for 1000 Yen per kilo, in the end I received 5000 Yen
Considering how much potions I will brew, perhaps by selling only 5 kilos I can provide for myself...
Well, if you only take into account food and potion bottles
Maybe my boiler will explode, who knows?
...
I wonder if I can replace some of the ingredients?
Perhaps there are plants in this world with similar properties
Anyway
There are different methods for brewing potions: you can fill them with water, grind them and squeeze out the juice and use it for potions. There are other methods but I can't know about them yet or is that all? I don't know
Apparently I can use anything to brew potions?
I don't know what effects these methods of brewing potions have, I just know that it can be done...
I can also add something else besides the herbs and it can both enhance and reduce the effect and possibly completely ruin the potion
What should I do
...
Heh, I'll try to do it by chance, maybe something will work out?
...
Over time, I notice that I feel...lighter...or brighter?
I started to show more emotions, although it's not visible, I feel it
Previously, I was only curious...because I don't remember anything...or I don't know?
Perhaps I didn't lose anything?
I don't know
I even talk to myself
...
Okay, I should make a potion
...
I took it all and went into the forest
I took a small stove with one burner
I went up to the river and found a relatively good place and put it all on the ground.
...
I filled the pot with water and put it on the stove
The fire was burning at full power... well, what could the stove do
The water quickly boiled then I started throwing in herbs.
First I threw healing herbs
Then some sage(salvia) and mint
And a few cranberry leaves
And started mixing
I thought a little and still added one plant with an unknown property
...
After a minute or two it all started to gurgle
And stronger and stronger
All this was somehow not good and I quickly ran away
Walking away 5 meters and stopped and looked
It feels good?
But then it exploded
But there was no sound
An area of about a meter has completely disappeared
And in the two metro area everything was badly damaged by the explosion.
Some stones hit me
...
Apparently it was a plant with explosive properties
I think medicinal herbs reduced the effect
And because of this, the explosion was smaller than it should have been... probably
Other herbs with unknown properties looked almost the same
Explosion Potion?
If so, why is it so quiet?
Because of other herbs? Or is it just like that?
Explosion without sound should be a good sneak attack option
But...how do I cook it successfully?
...
I came out of the forest
When I went to the store I bought another boiler and a stove with one burner
I have no money again
...
Anyway
I went into the forest again
I repeated that "potion" but this time I lowered the heat and began to stir less vigorously
I watched the pot and when it began to gurgle strongly, I reduced the intensity of the fire and allowed it to heat up more.
It stopped bubbling a lot
Finally, after half an hour, it no longer gurgled.
The color of the "potion" turned orange
And despite the fire and the burning cauldron, the "potion" itself was cold
[Silent Explosion Potion - Common]
The potion is ready
[Congratulations on your first attack potion]
[As a reward you will receive an attack-type potion that will strengthen yours for a certain time]
When it was all over, I noticed the potion in my hand, it was dark red.
On the bottle there was a piece of paper on which was a Face? Or is it a mask? In any case, it was a toothy mask with empty eyes and red lines on the left side
|[Hollow Potion - Epic]|
|[You will become much but it will cause harm and also only lasts 5 minutes
There is also a chance of losing control]|
How much stronger will I become? How many ranks do potions have?
I don't know
But anyway it should be good
It's free anyway
But I think I'll need a lot of healing potions after using it
Anyway
I got another task
[The first attack potion is ready, but what about the support potion? Create your first support potion]
[A set of herbs for beginner alchemists]
[P.s Recommended by unknown China Alchemist Emperor]
...
China? Who is this?
Either way, the starter kit sounds good... Why wasn't it released right away? What if I killed myself?
Okay, I got up and poured the explosion potion into the bottles.
When the potion came out, about two liters came out
I only have 5 bottles, so I still have about 800 milliliters
Which I poured into a regular jar
Having put all this in my bag, I washed the pot, ate fish and began to boil water.
I threw the herbs again
This is the last herb with medicinal properties
I spent the first two in the first attempt, one in the second
I threw cranberries , Mint and Plantain
I repeated the same as with the silent explosion potion, stirring and changing the intensity of the fire when necessary.
This time in about 6 minutes the greens turned slightly warm and bright red
|[Healing Potion - Common]|
[Mission completed]
[Congratulations on your first support potion!]
[Here's your reward]
[Healing Potion - Epic]
[The Healing Potion is simply much more powerful]
This is good
...
I'm already home and I'm going to bed
It was exhausting
Making the first potion was so fun and so interesting
What else can I cook? Can a potion really be anything?
I don't know

End of chapter
I changed it a little
