I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 158 Phase Two: Fog-Induced Brain Plague, Drug Delivery Equipment Concept

Erdin watched Ivan's departing figure, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"He absorbed so many characteristics in such a short time, and he can still run around so energetically—"

"How does this guy make up for his shortcomings?"

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"It seems you have just as many secrets as I do; at least in this respect, you are certainly worthy of me."

Evan quickly left the factory with Myron's body and found Pilsson, who was still unconscious.

After waking him up, Pilsner gasped for breath, looked around in shock, and then saw Ivan's face after he removed his mask.

"It's all done?" His voice trembled with excitement and anticipation.

Ivan threw the mangled corpse over, along with two magical artifacts.

A pitch-black tree branch, a bone harmonica.

When Pilsner saw these things, his eyes were filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Mr. Arkham! You are truly amazing."

Evan grinned and said casually, "I'll leave the rest to you. Now give me that Y-virus parasite."

Pearson tore open Myron's clothes, and then the two of them saw that there was something much larger inside Myron's body.

This parasite was more than twice the size of Pilsner's, and it looked like a grayish-white centipede.

What's even stranger is that this centipede has two mouths, one in front and one behind.

One mouth slid down his arm and embedded itself in his wrist, while the other mouth went down his arm to his chest and embedded itself in his heart.

Upon seeing this enormous parasite, Pilsson's eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

"Damn it! Just how much of that precious and delicious fertilizer did this guy eat to grow this parasite to be so big!"

He swallowed hard and looked up at Evan.

"You may not know this, Mr. Arkham, but there are benefits to being parasitized by this parasite; we can get an extra, incredibly delicious food."

"That food is not only incredibly nutritious, but it also tastes like the most delicious thing in the world."

At this point, Pilsson looked completely captivated and mesmerized.

Ivan felt a wave of nausea wash over him, thinking to himself, "Damn it! If I hadn't seen you eating manure in your memories, I would have actually believed you."

"Alright, bro! Time to get to work." He patted Pilsner on the shoulder, interrupting his reverie.

Pilsson was taken aback when he heard Ivan's voice, and then asked in a slightly excited tone.

"Sir, what did you just call me?"

Evan was taken aback: "Brother! Brother, it's time to get to work."

Upon hearing Ivan call him brother, Pearson felt a lump in his throat and then took a deep breath.

"Okay! Okay!"

Under Ivan's watchful gaze, Pilsner carefully transformed his palm into roots, piercing the skin of Myron's corpse.

The Y-virus parasite inside immediately reacted; it began to slowly wriggle and crawl out of Myron's corpse on its own.

It instinctively rolled itself into a ball, which Pilsner easily held in his hand.

Then Pilsner cut his wrist, and blood dripped onto it.

After consuming the blood, the entire parasite seemed to become drunk and fell into a deep sleep.

Pierson said, "I soothed it with my blood; the fertilizer in it can only keep it asleep for half an hour at most."

"You must deal with it within half an hour, otherwise you will surely die if it enters that phase state."

Ivan grinned: "Don't worry, I'm not worried about me dying, I'm worried about it dying."

Then he remembered something else: "Right! I took this guy's extraordinary abilities. Your tree spirits' extraordinary abilities don't have some kind of special tracking device like demons, do they?"

Pilsson shook his head: "Don't worry about that. Only the Demon class has extraordinary abilities that can be tracked. Other classes that have been poached cannot be tracked."

"However, if you want to sell it, I suggest you go somewhere else."

"The Red King's Laboratory has a very clear and strict grasp of the extraordinary characteristics of all the tree spirits in Bolton City. If you act rashly, it will cause unnecessary trouble and suspicion."

Ivan held the parasite in his hand and nodded thoughtfully: "Thanks for the reminder."

"How are you going to explain this when you go back?"

Pilsson laughed and said, "He went in, lost, and got killed. Isn't that normal?"

Evan nodded, then told him what he had just overheard about the conversation between Myron and Bane.

Upon hearing the information about the potion, Pilsson's eyes lit up, and his face showed obvious understanding.

"No wonder this guy was acting so mysteriously! He was sneaking out to earn some credit!"

He turned to look at Evan: "You don't need to worry about me. I have my own way of handling things. Even if something unexpected happens, I will definitely not involve you."

He patted his chest.

"Because we are brothers."

Seeing Pilsson say this with such pride, Ivan smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and then quickly left.

After Evan left, Pearson looked at Mellen's mangled corpse and the two magical artifacts, his eyes filled with pleasure and excitement.

"You're the first, but you'll definitely not be the last!"

After quickly leaving the chemical plant, Evan ran all the way to make sure that no one was around.

He opened his mouth wide, relying on his now highly flexible body, his mouth stretched open like a snake's mouth.

Then he stuffed the curled-up parasite inside and began to chew it quickly.

"Mmm~ Although it has a bit of a bug-like smell, the meat inside is more chewy than the previous one, and the outer shell is crispier."

"It has the texture of fried centipede."

After chewing it thoroughly twice, he swallowed it completely.

You have ingested the complete Y-virus parasite.

Option 1: Take it as medicine and reverse the process.

[Option 2: Fog-induced encephalopathy indicates a severe need for the complete Y virus as a supplement, which can significantly enhance its own integrity.]

Ivan chose the second option without hesitation.

[The Fog-like Brain Plague has devoured the complete Y-virus, progress +14%.]

"Wow! 14%?"

This number surprised and delighted Evan, but then he thought about it again.

"That's right. The remains we ate last time had an additional 3% added, so the whole thing would have at least an additional 6%."

"This thing is so big, and it even has two heads. Doubling its size shouldn't be a problem."

After swallowing, he quickly looked at the panel.

Fog-induced encephalopathy: 70.3%.

We've moved directly to the second stage.

Faced with the activation button, Ivan naturally had no intention of activating it in this desolate wilderness.

First, put the panel away, then look down at the extraordinary characteristic belonging to the tree spirit in his hand.

This thing is quite soft.

If its other characteristics are like a sweet potato, this thing is like a thick, green insole.

It has a bright green color and can be bent and folded.

"Since it's software—"

Ivan's eyes lit up, and he picked up the elegant wallet.

Under his surprised gaze, this extraordinary feature was easily slipped into his wallet.

"Hahaha! I knew it!"

"We can't let the five dollars we spend on maintenance every week go to waste!"

"If this thing can also store extraordinary properties, then this wallet is a must-have!"

Its extraordinary qualities, when placed in a fine wallet, do not reveal any trace of its extraordinary nature.

"Perfect!"

Ivan then ran all the way home and made it home safely at 10 p.m.

After returning home, he reluctantly burned the one-dollar secondhand work clothes and then set up a spiritual shroud.

After confirming that there were no problems for four weeks, he clicked to activate.

As before, the second-stage activation process went quite smoothly, without any unusual phenomena.

Ivan could clearly feel the fog in his head getting thicker.

At the same time, this mist can also penetrate the skull and extend outwards.

At the same time, he discovered that he had developed a new instinct.

He can infuse this mist into his voice and words as he speaks.

Those mists can merge with words containing traps in speech, thus entering the other person's mind and blocking and obscuring their thinking.

This creates a certain psychological influence.

Unfortunately, this ability requires a second target to be used, so Ivan had to put the idea of ​​testing it aside for the time being.

He turned his head and glanced at the side effects of the second phase.

An additional 2 points were deducted from physical constitution and 20% from self-awareness.

Including the previous stage, a total of three points of physical fitness and 30% of self-awareness have been deducted.

Without even looking at the panel, Ivan could clearly feel that his body had become weaker than before, as if some of his muscles had naturally atrophied due to a long period of inactivity in muscle training.

I opened the panel and took a look.

My physical fitness score changed from 11.282 to 9.282.

Self-awareness decreased from 60% to 40%.

"Why does it feel like the weaknesses of this extraordinary ability are more severe than before? Is it just my imagination?"

"But this attribute doesn't matter at all; I can just take more medicine when I have time."

"Now that the weaknesses have been largely addressed, it's time to take more medications to improve physical condition."

Thinking of this, Evan immediately recalled the scene where his full-force punch was effortlessly caught by Erdin.

"Damn it! This strength can't be outmatched by a girl."

"If my physical condition remains this poor, and we ever have a real chance to have an in-depth exchange in the future, I'm afraid Erting might just crush my hip bone in one go."

"No way! Intelligence doesn't matter, but the physique must be strong enough! Powerful enough! Waaagh enough!"

Thinking of this, he looked at the extraordinary feature in his wallet.

"The physical constitution of tree spirits doesn't seem to be very high, and most importantly—these guys eating shit is really disgusting."

"This is a flaw that is absolutely unacceptable."

"Since we can't sell it here in Bolton City, we'll have to turn to the all-knowing Dr. Armitage."

He quickly made plans for tomorrow.

I'll ask for a day off from school and go to New Haven.

While letting the doctor deal with this extraordinary trait, we should also report on the recent situation.

Thinking of this, he went into the bathroom, pulled out the two unused bottles of magic potion from his rectum, cleaned them, and put them away.

He had anticipated this possibility of the bottles not being used, so he connected the two bottles with a rope to make them reusable.

"Sigh, it's a bit too extreme, but we'll have to make do with it for now," Evan sighed.

"When we modify the body in the future, I feel that we should give the Witcher a pre-installed stomach to put the potions in, an organ specifically for absorbing potions."

"This is the only clumsy way we can do now."

In the past few days, he has formed two models of devices for the transition in his mind.

One device is used for rectal administration, using a specially designed rubber retainer to connect the bottles together, facilitating bulk drug delivery and insertion/extraction.

After one is crushed, the bottle on top can slide off automatically, just like loading a bullet.

Another device is a batch injector.

Nine needles are secured with a single clip and hung directly on the waist, resembling a shotgun magazine.

In a moment of crisis, he flipped downwards, and all nine bottles of magic potion simultaneously plunged into his waist muscles.

If the potion combination is appropriate, it can be enough to increase his temporary combat power several times over.

However, this idea is still in its initial stage.

Sufficient practice and improvement are still needed.

As for the relevant materials, they can all be obtained through connections at the hospital.

I took a cold shower and then took care of my personal hygiene.

After drying himself off and returning to his bedroom, he opened the bag he had brought back from the chemical plant.

The moment the bag was opened, a strong smell of sulfur hit the air.

The contents inside were black, lumpy slag-like clumps.

Each one is the size of a fist, and each one looks like a failed potion. There are seven of them in total.

Evan picked up a piece, looked at it, and then put it directly into his mouth and started crunching it.

"It tastes similar to coal, a bit sour, a bit bitter, and has a strong sulfurous smell."

"The taste isn't great, but the texture is quite relaxing, similar to instant noodles."

He swallowed the food while making his comments.

You have consumed the remnants of a failed Black Sun Potion. Effect: Permanent.

[Effect: Extraordinary Trait: Black Sun Wings +0.001%.]

Does this reverse the side effects?

"Reversal".

[Reversal progress: 20 hours.]

Ivan stroked his chin: "20 hours. The side effects are the same as those of an oral intermediate-level potion. Hopefully, it'll work."

He lay in bed, recalling the potion recipe he had obtained that day: the unfinished Black Sun Potion.

"Lumen core, sunflower seeds, sulfur, obsidian."

"Hopefully the materials won't be too expensive."

I fell asleep while thinking about it.

The next morning, a notification appeared on the panel.

You reversed the side effects of the Night Demon Potion.

Your blood quality will permanently improve by 1%.

Your self-healing ability has been permanently increased by 1%.

Looking at the side effects, Ivan couldn't help but sigh.

"Pris is indeed quite capable. His combat ability isn't great, but his research level is impressive. He's managed to keep the side effects so low."

Evan quickly finished washing up, packed the potion residue he had collected yesterday and the remaining potions into his backpack, locked the door, and set off.

After the battle, he ate only sixty cents for breakfast as usual and quickly went to school.

This time, however, he didn't go to the classroom. Instead, he went directly to Professor Mons and asked for leave.
