The Fourth Bottle of Potion That Seems to Have No Side Effects

Chapter 53 • 1,351 words • 12 min read

Time passed, he didn’t know for how long.

When Su Ran woke up again, there was no longer a speck of light in the room.

Only the lights rising from outside told Su Ran that it was already night.

The pain brought by the fourth potion was beyond his imagination, causing him to lose consciousness in the end.

After waking up again, Su Ran still didn’t know if his superhuman talent problem had been solved.

He closed his eyes, and traces of faint light appeared around him.

Although he couldn’t guide the magic essence to his side yet, this change was enough to make Su Ran ecstatic.

Su Ran’s face was filled with excitement as he reopened his eyes.

In the process of closing his eyes just now, he could see magic essence, which meant that, just as the system had said, his superhuman talent had indeed been resolved!

However, being able to sense magic essence was still a short distance from being able to cultivate.

Su Ran noticed that his body didn’t seem to be able to absorb magic essence immediately.

To Su Ran, this small issue was not important.

Being able to perceive the existence of magic essence was already the most crucial step.

The system had stated in advance that this potion could only solve a part of the problem.

‘You have to eat your meal one bite at a time.’ Su Ran still understood this principle.

Su Ran was eager to share the good news that he could sense magic essence with Eve, but the thought that she was now on her way to the border city, and that all her communications should be turned off, made him give up the idea.

Therefore, the desire to share with Eve had to be set aside.

Thinking that he had been away for some time, Su Ran logged back into the Witch Game to check what Isa was doing now.

During this time, if it weren’t for Isa setting up the smoke potions for him in Laita City, he wouldn’t have been able to cause a disturbance so easily, forcing the Church’s knights to split up and be defeated one by one.

When he left, it should have been around noon, and the rescued witch had not yet shown signs of waking up.

Su Ran estimated that the witch should be awake by now, but when he logged into the Witch Game to check, he found that the rescued witch was still sleeping, while Isa had entered a meditative state.

Looking at the “In Meditation” status on Isa’s status bar, the desire to share that had risen in Su Ran’s heart was doused with a basin of cold water.

The two people he wanted to share with the most were now, for various reasons, unavailable to talk to.

He had no choice but to exit the Witch Game and re-examine his current state.

After Su Ran calmed down, he suddenly thought of something.

Every time he drank the Witch’s Restoration Potion, his body would undergo some unexpected changes.

The side effect of the first potion seemed to make his skin fair and tender.

The second potion didn’t make his skin any more fair and tender, but it made his speaking voice sweeter, thus giving him the entry requirement to work as a play-along.

It was also thanks to being a play-along that Su Ran was able to earn some extra income to top up the Witch Game.

By the third potion, his skin and voice didn’t change, but he had grown a head of uncuttable long hair.

Su Ran touched the long hair that fell to his ears.

Even he himself couldn’t get enough of the smooth, long hair.

Of course, it would be better if the long hair wasn’t growing on his head.

The successive side effects had given Su Ran a clear understanding of the witch’s potion.

That is, as long as he drank the potion, there would definitely be side effects.

Su Ran had already mentally prepared himself for the coming side effects.

Nothing could stop his determination to continue drinking the medicine!

‘The medicine must not be stopped!’

This was the only thought in Su Ran’s mind at this moment.

With this thought in mind, Su Ran took a deep breath and calmed himself down to check if his “good brother” was still there.

The result made him overjoyed.

His good brother was still there.

Su Ran had seen many works in his previous life, and the successive changes in his body had already made him somewhat suspicious of the potion’s side effects, but from reality, it seemed he had been overthinking.

“It seems the witch’s potion is just for improving my body.”

After getting the result, Su Ran looked at his increasingly androgynous self in the mirror and comforted himself.

After a careful examination in the mirror, Su Ran was pleasantly surprised to find that the fourth potion had no side effects at all.

His body hadn’t changed a bit!

This result made him believe even more that the potion was just for improving his body.

Even the long hair on his head, as long as he waited for the right time…

He could also cut it off with a “snip.”

“Have my clothes gotten a little longer?”

Su Ran lifted the sleeve of his pajamas and found that a small section was sticking out past his arm.

However, this small change did not affect daily use, so Su Ran didn’t pay much attention to it.

Some changes cannot be seen through a mirror.

The side effects brought by the fourth potion had already quietly occurred while Su Ran was unconscious.

The reason he felt the pain of his bones being shattered was because the potion was truly reforging his skeleton.

It had made his originally longer and laterally extending clavicles shorter and flatter, and his ribs had narrowed inwards, making his waist slimmer.

As for his pelvis becoming wider, that was in preparation for the future.

These changes in the bones within his body were not obvious, but they had indeed brought about real changes to Su Ran.

The most intuitive should be the difference in height, from the original 175 cm to 165 cm.

Since Su Ran couldn’t stand up yet, unfortunately, he couldn’t discover this obvious change.

If Isa could see the current Su Ran, she would find that Su Ran’s height was now almost exactly the same as the height of the figure within the purple ball of light.

Except for Su Ran’s chest still being as flat as a runway, the other parts, after being reforged by the fourth potion, were generally not much different.

However, Su Ran was still immersed in the joy that the fourth potion had no side effects, unaware of the principle that extreme joy begets sorrow.

“Where is the mission for the fifth potion? Hurry up and bring it on, I can’t wait!”

Being able to perceive the existence of magic essence, but his body still unable to accommodate it, Su Ran wanted the Witch Game to give out the next mission as soon as possible, so he could solve the problem of his body accommodating magic essence.

So that when Eve returned, he could give her a surprise.

That he could go to the superhuman school, that he could go to class with her… these were things Su Ran dared not even think about before.

[Due to Isa’s promotion to Sequence Two, the current series mission, Witch’s Revenge, will undergo detail adjustments. Please look forward to it!]

Faced with the pop-up system prompt, Su Ran was overjoyed.

He hadn’t expected Isa to have actually advanced to Sequence Two.

Although obtaining the fifth potion would be delayed for a while, Isa’s successful promotion made Su Ran happier than his own success.

Back then, the Isa he had saved by topping up six yuan now had a new radiance on her face.

It could be said that besides the Witch Game, watching Isa walk step by step had also rekindled Su Ran’s hope for life.
