After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World-Chapter 1907: More Potions (Part 2)
First of these was the Burst potion, which worked similarly to the empowering Berserk potion, which Grandmasters could already make. People knew this as the potion that could allow a person to go beyond their usual limit, or to maximize their power, for a short period of time.
However, instead of targeting someone’s ability to capture a huge amount of aether for a moment, the Burst Potion was inspired by how adrenaline worked. It was designed to allow a person to temporarily push through their limits for several minutes. It worked best for people level 15 through 30.
Of course, the safe usage was once every several days or longer for low-leveled individuals, and they had to rest well.
The Berserk Potion was technically safer and could be used more often, but the ingredients were insanely difficult to procure, and it could only be used by people above level 20, and wouldn’t work past level 30.
Weaker people could explode, while for stronger people, the aether needed to have a palpable effect in battle was so much so that there was no effect anymore.
Their Burst Potion, on the other hand, worked on the existing chemicals of the body, so it had a wider range of effect. The same ingredients could also be adjusted according to the person’s level, increasing its flexibility. It would put a strain on the body if used too often, however.
Fortunately, this strain was just like overusing muscles and could be easily recovered after a few days’ rest, so even overusing the potion wouldn’t be lethally bad, especially if the situation was an emergency.
Because they used their knowledge of biology and chemistry, but used Xenoan ingredients (and even served as a foundation for future endeavors), she received a Class B armor for it. She already had her own armour, though, so she gifted it to her husband instead.
It was a lovely, light, metallic armor that could soften and block blows from level 40s. It also had a slight deflecting effect, like the Celeste Mirror, though naturally weakened. Still, even a little bit of extra damage was appreciated.
Althea, who had been relatively indifferent to many of her rewards, now longed for them. Even if she herself didn’t use it, it would be useful for someone else.
It was just that to be given the rewards of World Knowledge, it had to be something other people hadn’t done yet, but could be done independently by others as well.
She had been really lucky with the Sprite and the other potions back then. Perhaps it was because she had Tori and her modern knowledge, but other than that, most potions using the common plants did not trigger anything.
The ones her pharmacists had ’created’ even got deducted with royalty when they were sold, indicating that it had already been discovered elsewhere.
But since some of those potions were unknown, they were not spread out by the creator, or were perhaps even gatekept. =
Another potion was the Eyesight Potion, which was something that could enhance a person’s sight by at least twice, regardless of their levels, so it was most effective for high-leveled individuals.
They studied how things like Vitamin A improved eyesight and then heightened its effects. For example, they isolated the component of the vitamin that directly improved eyesight. They simply had to improve this effect, and the aether and the natural improved physique of the people further enhanced this.
They got a C-class spear from this, which she sent out to the Guard team, though they decided to hold some sort of mini-contest for it. It became something of a small tournament that spearmen joined in.
She did not know who thought of ’spicing things up’ but they even added obstacle courses, specifically for spear users. For example, there was a Pole Vault sector like those in the olympics, except it was much higher.
There was also a sector wherein several rotating arms blocked their way, and they would have to go back to that sector’s beginning if they were hit once. The participants had to activate major reflexes to go through them.
She didn’t know who won in the end, and she had long forgotten to ask.
At this time, she just thought that the gifts the World Knowledge sent out were not exclusively equipment for the use of the reward recipient. Later, she’d find out that it wasn’t necessarily the case.
The more accurate occurrence was that the world always balanced itself. All high-level equipment focused on a single person was not balanced, and therefore, things given to Althea after the first few weren’t meant for her use.
Lastly, the other potion was called the Conduit Potion, meant to temporarily ease the use of one’s abilities, especially for elementalists.
She did not receive anything here, even when no royalty fees were deducted when she sold a sample.
It seemed like potions that could only be made or used by elementalists were not rewarded, either, and this one happened to be at the borderline of it.
The inspiration behind this was a variation of aspirin, which allowed the blood to flow faster. They were developing it for blood clots first as part of the cure for the Fire Plague, which they found caused a lot of blockages in the veins of those afflicted.
Somehow, a new potion was derived from it.
The effect was similar to the Burst Potion, except it wouldn’t suddenly make people go beyond their limits. Rather, it’d assist in tapping a person’s potential at its maximum efficiency. It would also last longer and could be used more often. The limitation was that the ingredients were rare, and they only had a bottle of this so far.
In any case, back to the war, quite a few of these items were currently in use in the Ferrol war. Not only did this serve as part of their assistance, but they would also have people to test the potions. A total win-win!
