You've been ruined by games all your life!

Chapter 42 Kowloon Potion
Emerging from the deep-sea aquarium, Chen Lai subconsciously glanced at the sky outside. Although time was synchronized inside and outside the instance, seeing the sun rise as usual still gave him a sense of reassurance.

After getting dressed, Chen looked at his bedside. The things he had bought before entering the dungeon had all arrived: Nine Dragons Potion, Military Martial Arts, and General-Purpose Deep Sea Powder. They were all beautifully packaged and placed on his bedside, presumably brought in by his mother.

"The power of nine dragons... Why does this feel so ominous?"

Chen Lai picked up the tightly packaged box, opened it, and found that it was not the kind of injection he had imagined, but a powdered medicine.

The powder of the medicine changes color. Before being exposed to sunlight, it is blue like the sea. After being soaked in a cup, it will show a variety of colors. Through the larger particles, you can even see their original shape.

"Wouldn't Deep Sea Company just grind all the salvaged items into powder and sell them to us?" Chen Lai suddenly had this thought. He felt that the powder in front of him was very attractive, and he seemed to crave it.

Gulp, Gulp

When I came to my senses, I was already drinking heavily.

"I'm super, ice!"

After drinking a cup of Kowloon Potion, Chen Lai immediately felt the change. A strong stimulation assaulted his brain, like a documentary show slowly revealing the history of each ingredient to him...

Players risk their lives, narrowly escaping death in the deep-sea game, and the items they painstakingly acquire eventually become food in their mouths. How can ordinary potions compare to this kind of thrill?

"So, this potion is really a recycled artifact fragment..." Chen Lai was speechless. He got up and stretched his body. As soon as he stood up and straightened his knees, he uncontrollably jumped three meters upwards and slammed his head against the ceiling with a "thud".

The enhancement to his physical body was too great, exceeding the range of his nervous system's adaptation.

The sound of her mother's slippers clattering outside the door was clearly heard, so she came over to open it.

"You're awake, hurry up..." Chen Fang wanted to suggest going out for dinner, but seeing the white dust at Chen Lai's feet, she was at a loss for words.

"Stop playing games, let's eat first." She finally said, opening the door wide, and the aroma wafted in from outside.

"Mom, you're cooking porridge so early in the morning?" Chen Lai walked out cautiously, a little afraid that he might lose control of his strength and hurt his mother.

"Next time you play games, tell me in advance when you're coming out. I've wasted so much of my time preparing meals for you these past two weeks, and you never even get up to eat," Chen Fang said irritably.

"I'll definitely come out after I finish this game."

"Who knows how long you can last in one round?"

"Anyway, it definitely won't be more than a month." Chen Lai slurped up his porridge while carefully holding the spoon, controlling his current physical strength.

"After a month, the red beans have all gone moldy. Next time, just order takeout. I'm not cooking for you anymore." Chen Fang muttered to herself while glancing at the clock. "I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'm going to work."

"It's so far from the hotel, Mom. You should quit that job. It's only two or three thousand a month. What's so great about that?"

Chen Lai tried to persuade his mother again. Although he hadn't made any money on this mission, he was honestly not worried about this small debt with his superhuman strength. Whether he paid it off physically or by borrowing money, he could easily manage it.

Therefore, he didn't want his mother to suffer anymore... The original owner was incompetent, and his mother suffered. He came and became a member of the Deep Sea Company's system, and his mother still suffered. Wasn't he just wasting his time?
Despite Chen Lai's persuasion, Chen Fang remained silent, simply taking her porridge bowl into the kitchen before heading out to work.

That's so stubborn. That's how the older generation is. They can enjoy life but they don't want to. They feel uncomfortable if they stop.

Helpless, Chen Lai didn't say anything more, and just picked at the pickled vegetables and drank his porridge.

Halfway through my porridge, there was a knock at the door, accompanied by Zhang Long's loud voice:

"Did you drink it? Did you have sex with it?" Chen Lai opened the door and looked at him with some helplessness.

Zhang Long squeezed his arm and patted his shoulder: "See? I told you, it's Bao Qiang! Bao Qiang's!"

"What's that smell in the house? Did Auntie make porridge?"

"Hmm, have you had breakfast? Sit down and have a drink with me."

"Oh, that's great! Think about it, it's different. Serve it while it's hot and drink it while it's hot."

"Could you please stop imitating Lu Xun's way of speaking?"

"Oh."

So the two sat down and continued drinking their porridge, each on one side.

"I didn't expect you to be able to see through this 'god's' disguise. You're really capable!" Zhang Long took a few sips of his drink and suddenly gave him a thumbs up.

"How did you get parasitized? How did Amon find you?" Chen Lai was also curious.

"Oh, don't even mention it." Zhang Long waved his hand. "Actually, it was only half a day between finding that lucky charm painting and me asking you if the ritual was safe. You said it was."

"I did not say."

"Yes, that's what He said. That three-part name, whether you use player chat or say it out loud, is a summoning of Him. I don't know how, but He confused my private chat with it." Zhang Long still felt a bit emotional as he spoke.

"His authority is flawed, like a Trojan virus; he is present wherever there is a loophole... Deepsea Games has an unusually large number of loopholes, and the players themselves are the biggest vulnerability."

Chen Lai spoke with such certainty that Zhang Long looked at him with a hint of surprise: "Wei Long, you really know too much. Did you come to Earth from another world?"

"If I said I was Sherlock Holmes, would you believe me?"

"Believe it or not, if something like Deep Sea Games exists, then time travel and resurrection are just a piece of cake." Zhang Long was very calm. As a prison player, he was used to many things.

"I used the Kowloon Potion on you. How do I use the Deep Sea Powder you bought for me?"

"Sprinkle it evenly into the deep-sea aquarium. This stuff can help activate the deep-sea liquid and continuously strengthen you in the game. If the dungeons you experience are intense enough and your strength is high enough, this strengthening effect will be more obvious."

"But you have to be careful, this stuff is one-time use. If you die in the dungeon, the Deep Sea Powder will be useless... In my opinion, only players like you can use this stuff. Most gold diggers die very quickly and are reluctant to buy Deep Sea Powder."

Zhang Long gave a brief explanation, saying that judging from the twitching in his face, he had bought a lot of things and died a lot of them.

"Have you chosen your next dungeon yet? I'm planning to duo queue with you. To be honest, I get bored playing with other people, but duo queueing with you always brings unexpected surprises."

Zhang Long finished his porridge, put down the bowl, and looked at Chen Lai.

Without wasting words, Chen Lai took out his phone, logged onto the Deep Sea Forum, and checked the current situation of the whirlpool.

Zhang Long moved the chair closer. He knew that Chen Lai sometimes made some beginner mistakes, and he could help him with some basic explanations... It was really strange. He seemed like a veteran in every aspect, and even had a knack for predicting the plot, yet he always made beginner mistakes. [Dawei Tianlong] was probably the most peculiar student in this batch of students.
