The third bottle of potion remained unchanged?

Chapter 30 • 1,312 words • 11 min read

When the sensation in his lower limbs finally vanished, a dazed Su Ran found himself at a loss, realizing that becoming immobile again was not something he could calmly accept.

Even if it was just a body simulated by the Witch Game, the fact that it allowed him to walk freely was already far better than his current state of lying in bed.

However, the time until he could stand again was not far off; Su Ran could almost see the days in his future when he would walk once more.

Since the second potion had restored a small amount of feeling to his numb legs, then the third potion he had just received for completing the mission might have an even greater effect.

At this thought, Su Ran’s heart burned with anticipation.

The psychological disparity was immense, especially having just been able to walk freely only to return to the bed he had been lying in for over a year.

Although Su Ran had mentally prepared himself before returning, when the thought became reality, he was still struck by a wave of disappointment.

After composing himself, Su Ran opened the Witch Game’s inventory, expertly found the Witch’s Restoration Potion, and tapped on it.

As before, the potion bottle materialized out of thin air and landed in Su Ran’s hand after he clicked to use it.

Only, as Su Ran looked at the bottle in his hand, he found the simple, old-fashioned vial to be somewhat familiar.

Su Ran didn’t dwell on this feeling of familiarity; after all, this was the third bottle he had drunk, so it was perfectly normal for it to look familiar.

With the second potion, he had already experimented and found that he needed to drink the entire bottle for it to take effect.

So, without any hesitation, Su Ran uncorked the stopper and downed the potion in one go.

A familiar warm current appeared, once again originating from his lower abdomen and gradually branching out towards his legs.

Unlike the previous two times, this potion’s warm current did not simply widen; instead, it spread out like a tree growing branches, extending and expanding along Su Ran’s legs.

As the potion took effect, a warm, pleasant sensation enveloped his entire legs, the comfortable feedback making him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

Once the warmth enveloping his legs subsided, Su Ran couldn’t wait to find out what changes the third potion had brought him.

He closed his eyes, focusing intently on the changes in his legs after using the potion.

Su Ran was surprised to discover that with the third potion’s effect, his legs had become much more sensitive to the outside world.

Where before he had to forcefully drag the blanket covering his legs to feel the fabric slide, now Su Ran could clearly feel the light touch of the fabric resting on them.

Evidently, the third potion had restored the sensation in Su Ran’s legs to their pre-disability level.

For Su Ran, this was exhilarating news.

Since the Witch Game appeared, his legs, which doctors had given a death sentence, had recovered their basic sensations in less than a few days.

To Su Ran, this was nothing short of a true medical miracle.

‘As long as I keep taking the medicine, I’ll be able to stand up again one day!’

The change the potion brought Su Ran made him so excited that he forgot to lower his voice, once again speaking in a crisp, pleasant, and sweet girlish tone.

Speaking of which, while chatting with Isa, Su Ran hadn’t lowered his voice due to the witch persona.

Perhaps it was a physical instinct, but after lying back down on his bed, Su Ran had subconsciously lowered his voice.

However, the matter of his voice served as a reminder; the first two potions had come with minor side effects.

‘I wonder what the side effect of this third potion will be?’

With an apprehensive heart, Su Ran sat up in bed and gave himself a thorough check.

He found that aside from his skin being a bit fairer and his voice having changed slightly, there were no other obvious changes.

Reaching this conclusion, Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could accept the potions having side effects, he wouldn’t complain.

But if the potion could be used without any side effects, that would be even better for Su Ran.

Su Ran had considered this possibility before, but for the sake of standing up again, he had subconsciously ignored the thought.

He never expected that the third potion he drank today would actually have no side effects at all!

For a moment, Su Ran’s mood brightened, and he found the other mission reward in his inventory: a ten-pull summon scroll.

Since drinking the potion had no side effects, Su Ran hoped his good luck would continue, allowing him to pull the “Witch’s Meditation Method” from the prize pool with just one ten-pull scroll.

“Please, let me get it in one ten-pull!”

Su Ran clasped his hands together, his expression more devout than ever before.

After all, when he used to pull for characters in Narukami, his luck was never very good, basically having to hit the pity rate every time to get a character.

After his prayer, Su Ran tapped the ten-pull button on the screen.

Following a dazzling display of special effects, what ultimately appeared before Su Ran’s screen was nine blues and one purple.

The single purple item was a spatial storage ring, which made Su Ran’s eyes burn with envy.

Su Ran had never expected to get something like this from a gacha pull.

If this were in the Human Federation, the appearance of an ownerless spatial ring in Jiangbei City would be enough to make the entire city tremble.

As for the remaining blue items, they were mostly message-transmitting papers and some Sequence Two or Three magic scrolls.

This pull taught a valuable lesson: relying on superstitions for gacha pulls was useless. The “Witch’s Meditation Method” he wanted didn’t drop at all.

Fortunately, this pull was done with a ten-pull scroll given by the system, so Su Ran didn’t feel the sting of using it.

But looking at the “10/300” on the summon banner, Su Ran understood that to get the “Witch’s Meditation Method,” he couldn’t just rely on freebie summon scrolls from missions; he would have to spend his own money, which was the most practical approach.

Besides the Witch’s Meditation Method, there was also a “Mysterious Prize” in the summon pool.

Su Ran couldn’t find any information about this item anywhere. He didn’t know its function, nor did he know how many summons were required to obtain it.

Therefore, Su Ran didn’t include the mysterious prize in his pulling plans; his goal had always been only the Witch’s Meditation Method in the pool.

He glanced at the clock on the wall. For Su Ran, the most direct experience of tonight was that time seemed to have stretched on for a long while.

After eating with Eve, he played Narukami with Qiu Feifei, and then entered Isa’s world.

After such a long and eventful time, Su Ran found himself yawning constantly, his eyelids fighting to stay open, urging him to sleep as soon as possible.

To ensure he could wake up on time tomorrow, Su Ran turned off the lights, covered himself with the blanket, closed his eyes, and peacefully drifted off to sleep.

That night, moonlight spilled into the room, illuminating Su Ran and draping him in a light veil.

Unconsciously, many black threads appeared on the snow-white bedding, shimmering with an alluring luster under the moonlight.

If someone had been awake at that moment and traced them to their source, they would have discovered that all the black strands originated from Su Ran’s pillow.
