C9 Life Potion

Tomato doesn't seem to count as fruit... This should be a vegetable type item!

However, Lu Shan didn't care that much. After all, tomatoes were cheap and juicing was easy, so even if he tried it, it wouldn't waste much money!

Lu Shan immediately stopped the old man on the tricycle and spent five yuan to buy six or seven large red tomatoes from him.

Next, Lu Shan drank a cup of cantaloupe juice that he was sure was unable to concoct. Then, he picked up a tomato and squeezed it …

Fortunately, there was a lot of juice inside the tomatoes, so Lu Shan didn't need any juicer at all. He slowly squeezed with his hands and soon squeezed out half a cup of tomato juice. If this was an apple fruit, he probably wouldn't be able to squeeze out more than a few drops of juice.

Then he took a deep breath, grabbed the cup of tomato juice, and slowly placed it into the last space among the Upgrade Box …

"We have discovered the materials for the low level life potion. We have gathered five of them. Host, please confirm the process of brewing the potion."

Had they finally survived?

Hearing the notification sound in his head, Lu Shan was immediately overjoyed … It seemed that his deduction from before wasn't completely correct! It turned out that the Life Potion might not have been made entirely from fruit juice, but vegetable juice seemed to also work!

Lu Shan's gaze swept across them and saw that the [Automatic Conditioning] option of the four functions under the Upgrade Box had lit up. Without hesitation, he extended his hand and lightly tapped on it …

It was similar to the last time when he had synthesized the Blood Core. As Lu Shan tapped it with his finger, he saw that the Upgrade Box was suddenly shrouded in a layer of precious light. However, this time, the multicolored light was even more dazzling, so dazzling that Lu Shan almost couldn't open his eyes …

He looked around somewhat guiltily. He saw a person passing by not too far away. However, when his gaze casually swept over the person, not a single trace of peculiarity could be seen on his face.

Seeing this, Lu Shan immediately calmed down, it seemed like only he himself could see the treasure light of the Upgrade Box!

"Swish!"

This time, the precious light lingered for about half a minute before it finally disappeared. Lu Shan then saw that there was only an empty drink cup in the four boxes around the Upgrade Box.

In the center of the room, there was a glass of liquid with a blood-red bottom.

This is... Did I succeed?

Lu Shan slowly stretched out his hand as if he was worried about loss and gain … He held the drink cup of the Upgrade Box in his hand …

"Discovered Life Potion (Low and Crippled) x10 ml. Consuming this will allow you to view the user's Physique as you wish, allowing you to randomly increase his HP by 1-10 points."

"Ugh …" He actually succeeded! However … The potion he had brewed this time was actually a defective potion. He didn't know if it was considered as completing the mission or not! And … What was the use of this Life Potion? This was the real world, not just playing the game and increasing HP … Would it be useful?

Just when Lu Shan was puzzled, he heard the system notification sound in his head: "Beginner's Mission 1, concocting the medicine (Completed)." Obtained quest reward: 5 points for the free Attribute Points. Upgrade Experience Value: 15 points. Note: After the host obtains the free Attribute Points, they can consume merit points and bind themselves. "You can also choose to randomly distribute contribution points to your own equipment, or choose to allocate points to equipment without consuming merit points."

Thank God... Although I managed to fuse a bottle of inferior items, I still managed to complete the mission! Even if this item is useless in real life, it's worth it … Reward of the free Attribute Points? This... Could it be like the inside of a game, where it could increase my Strength and Agility?

Just as Lu Shan thought of this, he saw the display screen on the Upgrade Box display another string of data:

On it was written...

[Upgrade Box (1 level)]; Number of times to use it (1/10); Host level (1 level); Host equipment (none); Host merit points (2 points); Experience required to level up (25/100); Allocable Attribute Points: 5 points.

Human Attributes:

Strength: 8 points.

Spirit: 11 points.

Agility: 8 points.

Intelligence: 10 points.

Stamina: 7 points.

HP: (97/100)

Lu Shan remembered... Previously, the screen did not show his stats. Presumably, it was because he had obtained the free Attribute Points's rewards that the character attributes were activated, right?

However, he didn't pay too much attention to the state of his attributes. The first thing that struck fear in him was … The number of times that Upgrade Box had been used had finally increased to (1/10).

This also meant that … The process of him fusing with the life potion just now had already used the Upgrade Box's first chance!

The Upgrade Box could only be used ten times, did that mean … If he were to use it ten times, would this Upgrade Box be completely crippled?

I hope that's not the case! "Hmm …" This Upgrade Box is also level 1, then maybe... If Upgrade Box could also be upgraded, then in terms of the number of times they could be used, there might be some changes!
