[Purified Immortal-Human Springwater (Rare Tier): Apply externally to gain +50 defense, take internally to gain +50 attack. (Note: Effect only applies on first use.)]
"Rare Tier potion!"
"And the effect is permanent!"
Ye Qiu's face lit up with joy.
He used it immediately.
Applying externally and taking internally counted as one use.
Therefore, he ultimately gained +50 defense and +50 attack.
As for usage limits, Ye Qiu understood.
If it could be used unlimitedly, it wouldn't just be a "Rare Tier" potion anymore.
In his previous life, the forums had listed many "permanent effect" potions and pills, all extremely precious!
A Rare Tier potion like this could be exchanged for a Pink Spirit Artifact!
Yes, that's how amazing it was!
Because once the potion was consumed, the effect permanently became part of the user's stats!
Equipment, on the other hand, could be dropped or lost, so their value was naturally not as high as this kind of permanent effect potion!
But this was limited to permanent attribute potions only!
Other potions were much cheaper.
At this moment, [Ding! Your friend "Mist and Cold Clouds" has sent you a voice message, accept?]
"Accept."
Ye Qiu answered.
Mist and Cold Clouds (voice message): "Cloaked Brother, the tasks you gave me are basically done!"
Ye Qiu replied, "Wait for me at the foot of Tiger Mountain."
With that, he said goodbye to the Herbalist Lady.
...
At the foot of Tiger Mountain, Zhao Hanyan had arrived early, smiling happily!
Because, Ning Qianjun and Ning Qingyue were right there nearby.
"Shameless!"
Ning Qingyue scolded loudly upon seeing Zhao Hanyan.
Ning Qianjun looked displeased too.
Zhao Hanyan chuckled, "Oh, so upset... I'm an NPC, you're players.
At first, we didn't know each other.
If you want to get close to me, you have to rely on real skill!
You can't just insult me because I'm stronger than you, right?"
Ning Qingyue retorted angrily, "We were the first to recruit the mysterious NPC; you're a third party, an outsider!"
She was really mad!
The siblings had nearly recruited the NPC successfully, with one getting a Purple Rare staff, the other a Pink Spirit Artifact hairpin!
Such rewards were unprecedented, and envied by countless forum users!
But now, Zhao Hanyan barged in and stole the show!
This made the siblings angry and helpless.
"Look at what you said."
Zhao Hanyan sneered, "Like the NPC's your boyfriend, and I'm the third party, the outsider… ridiculous!"
"You—!"
Ning Qingyue was left speechless.
Nearby, Ning Qianjun finally spoke up, "Zhao Hanyan, since you say getting close to the NPC depends on real skill, then I hope you'll stick to that idea and practice.
Let's have a real contest of skills!"
Zhao Hanyan's smile faded, "What do you mean by that, Ning?"
Ning Qianjun said nothing.
Ning Qingyue sneered, "Spending money to recruit NPCs is one thing, but I'm afraid someone likes to sell their charm to win favor with NPCs!"
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Zhao Hanyan spat a few times, embarrassed and angry, "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not that kind of person!"
At that moment, a figure approached.
Zhao Hanyan was the first to see him, immediately put on her signature flattering smile, stepped forward quickly, and said coquettishly, "Cloaked Brother, you're here!"
She almost leaned on Ye Qiu.
He glanced briefly at the Ning Family Siblings, surprised they were also present.
But business was important, so he ignored them and said coldly to Zhao Hanyan, "Where's the stuff?"
His voice was cold, full of distance.
Zhao Hanyan's attempt to flatter failed, but she was not embarrassed, and quickly made the trade with Ye Qiu.
[Fish pearls, wild fox monster fluids, iron tree gel, half-ripe wild pineapples…]
These were all task items.
Collecting them was simple, but time-consuming and laborious!
"Not bad."
Ye Qiu nodded approvingly.
Then he took out two bottles of [Purified Immortal-Human Springwater (Rare Tier)] and traded them to Zhao Hanyan.
He said, "These are your rewards."
Zhao Hanyan checked the items.
[Purified Immortal-Human Springwater (Rare Tier): Apply externally +50 defense, take internally +50 attack. (Note: Effect only applies on first use.)]
After reading the potion's stats, her breathing quickened, and her charming face was full of excitement and shock!
"Permanent effect potion!"
At this moment, it was already the fourth afternoon in the game.
Zhao Hanyan was familiar with basic game items.
The most common potions were Health Recovery Potion and Mana Recovery Potion, also the cheapest.
But other potions, like Berserk Potion, Frost Potion, Contamination Potion, etc., were much more expensive!
A bottle of Berserk Potion, even without Tier, not even reaching Common Tier, could trade for a Blue Advanced equipment!
As for the Rare Tier potion Zhao Hanyan was holding, and one that provided permanent attribute bonuses upon consumption, its value was simply incalculable!
"Cloaked Brother..."
Zhao Hanyan regained composure and was about to flatter Ye Qiu again
to show her "loyalty."
But Ye Qiu was already gone.
Nearby, only Ning Qianjun and Ning Qingyue were watching eagerly.
"Cloaked Brother..."
Ning Qingyue sneered sarcastically with a sour tone.
Zhao Hanyan did not get angry this time, but raised her hand, shaking the two bottles of potions in her grip, asking boastfully, "Don't want to know what rewards the mysterious NPC gave me?"
Ning Qianjun stayed silent.
Ning Qingyue snorted, "Say whatever you want!"
Zhao Hanyan smiled and shared the potion stats.
After seeing them, the siblings were shocked!
Instantly, Ning Qianjun was full of envy and jealousy, while Ning Qingyue felt the Pink Spirit Artifact hairpin she previously received was no longer as attractive!
No matter how powerful equipment was, it was still external.
When leveling up or getting new equipment, it would be replaced sooner or later.
It was nothing compared to potions that permanently increased one's attributes after use!
"Name your price!"
Ning Qianjun got straight to the point.
Zhao Hanyan sneered, "Talking about money in front of me?"
Ning Qianjun: "..."
Under the siblings' watchful eyes, Zhao Hanyan used the two potions, one internally, one externally.
After doing this, she turned away satisfied, leaving the siblings standing there with displeased faces.
"Damn it!"
Ning Qingyue stomped her feet repeatedly.
Ning Qianjun sighed helplessly, "There's nothing we can do.
This mysterious NPC seems different from others; there's no Favorability display.
Besides, he is an NPC; we can't force or bind him."
Ning Qingyue pouted, "I'm mad at that bitch Zhao Hanyan.
Didn't you see how she acted in front of the mysterious NPC?
So shameless!"
Ning Qianjun chuckled and said, "This kind of tactic is actually quite normal.
Haven't you seen some players use even more direct methods on the forums, only to be caught by officials and publicly criticized?"
Ning Qingyue huffed, "Those people are really dumb, doing shameless things and still daring to post them online!"
Though she said that, Ning Qingyue's eyes slightly shifted, not sure what she was thinking...
