I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 126 - 118: The Letter
Old Medicine Ding and Rogel were advancing along the path.
Along the way, Rogel once again saw Yao Ding’s herb garden.
There were many small houses where Yao Ding lived.
Rogel initially thought these houses were giant mushrooms.
Later he realized, they... were indeed mushrooms.
However, it seems Yao Ding used special methods to transform them into small mushroom houses.
Of course, there were also a few canopy huts built with branches and leaves, with branches that were almost uniformly sized, and leaves meticulously arranged, a sight that would make a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel comfortable enough to spiral up into the sky.
The herb plants inside were colorful, diverse, with different postures, and even had an abstract touch.
One fruit resembling a peach made Rogel’s mouth water.
Seeing Rogel’s eyes glued to it, Old Medicine Ding in front also shook his head and smiled.
What a foodie.
Soon after, Old Medicine Ding led Rogel to a cavern at the bottom of the rift.
Here, rows of crucibles and utensils were placed, along with some strange tools of unknown purpose.
Old Medicine Ding rummaged through a stone counter filled with colorful potion bottles and took out a bottle of light green potion.
"Drink it."
Old Medicine Ding handed the potion bottle to Rogel.
Rogel took the potion bottle and glanced at it.
[Potion of Unknown Effect]
[Type: Potion]
[Quality: ?]
After glancing at it, Rogel didn’t look further and pulled out the cork, gulping it down.
[You have consumed a potion of unknown effect.]
[You can now communicate with the specific race, Yao Ding, remaining duration of one hour and fifty-nine minutes.]
Drinking a potion that allows someone to understand another language, truly magical.
Rogel curiously examined the empty bottle in his hand.
"Now you can understand what I’m saying, right?"
Old Medicine Ding inquired.
Rogel nodded.
"Is this a potion you formulated? Truly remarkable."
Rogel exclaimed.
Old Medicine Ding smiled smugly, stroking his beard with pride: "Of course, our Medicine race naturally possesses potion talents."
Rogel was about to speak but suddenly felt a raw bitter taste in his mouth, scrunching his face.
"Blegh, my mouth is so bitter."
"What materials are in this potion, blegh..."
Rogel spat a few times but still felt the bitterness in his mouth.
"This has nothing to do with the potion materials." Old Medicine Ding casually responded while rummaging through boxes and cabinets: "The potion temporarily grants you special powers, but also builds up certain toxins."
"Everything in the world has dual nature."
Rogel’s mouth twitched at these words.
However, he hadn’t received any poisoning alerts.
"That’s odd, I’ve drunk an underwater breathing potion before, and there was no toxin or anything like that."
"Moreover, this potion seems to lack toxins as well."
Rogel frowned.
"Underwater breathing potion? That potion’s effect isn’t complex, toxins are minimal, as an Extraordinary, it’s negligible."
Old Medicine Ding’s next words cleared his doubts.
"As for the potion you drank, it has been modified over years, no longer has toxins, only leaves a bitter taste."
"Bear with it."
It’s better to have toxins...
Rogel took a deep breath.
"Blegh, really bitter."
To say it tastes like bitter gourd is an understatement.
This bitterness seems to emit from the tongue.
"...Finally found it."
After finding what he wanted from under the desk, Old Medicine Ding finally stood up.
He handed a few thick wooden books to Rogel.
Among these books, two look quite peculiar, like they were made from young wooden chips, yet the characters on them are clear to read.
"This is Introduction to Pharmacy and Basic Magic Potion, containing the knowledge you seek."
"Read and understand these thoroughly, and you’ll almost be initiated in potion and magic potion making."
After receiving the books, game prompts appeared.
[You have obtained Basic Magic Potion ×1.]
[You have obtained Magic Potion Materials Guide ×1.]
[You have obtained Introduction to Pharmacy ×1.]
[You have obtained Advanced Pharmacy ×1.]
Altogether four books, each thicker than the last.
[Basic Magic Potion]
[Type: Book]
[Usage Requirements: Spirit 15, Mysticism lv5.]
[Effect: Upon reading and learning the book’s contents, you may acquire the special skill "Magic Potion."]
Magic Potion!
Rogel’s eyes lit up.
He had been wanting to learn this skill since the day he drank a magic potion, only now truly finding the means.
Not easy at all!
[Magic Potion Materials Guide]
[Type: Book]
[Usage Requirements: Mysticism lv3.]
[Effect: By reading and learning this book, you will understand knowledge about magic potion materials.]
This book seems supplementary to Basic Magic Potion but doesn’t grant a skill, more like a travelogue.
[Introduction to Pharmacy]
[Type: Book]
[Usage Requirements: Spirit 8, Linguistics lv15 or proficiency in Yao Ding languages.]
[Effect: Upon reading and learning the book’s contents, you may acquire the skill "Pharmacy."]
[Advanced Pharmacy]
[Type: Book]
[Usage Requirements: Spirit 12, Linguistics lv15 or proficiency in Yao Ding languages.]
[Effect: Upon reading and learning the book’s contents, you may acquire the skill "Advanced Pharmacy."]
After briefly skimming through the four books, Rogel found the two magic potion books were written in human characters.
