I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Chapter 242: Four Months of Growth, the Severely Injured Byron

After shouting a few curses, Morales coughed and said, "I did have some nightmares the other night..."

"It's strange, but... I dreamt about you!"

At this point, Morales quickly waved his hand, "Please don't misunderstand!"

"I just vaguely felt that I was in a blood-red space and had some conversation with you, but I can't remember what we said."

"And these past two days, I've felt great both physically and mentally!"

At this point, Morales became somewhat nervous: "Could I be under some kind of strange curse!?"

Ivan raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, infusing it with a touch of spirituality.

Then he didn't feel anything.

Morales's body was exactly the same as before, except that some minor injuries from his growth had been healed.

Perceiving the past in this way, he was just an ordinary person, as ordinary as can be.

Ivan sighed inwardly, "As expected, someone like me, a mere Karami, still has no way of sensing a transcendent being!"

After confirming that Morales was alright, Ivan smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because your parents trust you more and more, which has given you confidence!" "Your body is perfectly healthy, without any abnormalities or curses!"

Hearing this, Morales breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a hint of pride, "That's absolutely right!"

"During this holiday, I've been helping out at a nearby clinic and have learned a lot!"

"And after the tragedy of Adolf's family, I felt that my parents were obviously not as strict with me as before."

"They were also worried that something might happen to me."

Then Morales laughed and said, "I'm not as rebellious as Miss Adolf."

"I've always felt that my parents have laid out a good path for me!"

Seeing Morales's positive attitude, Ivan smiled and nodded, "That's good!"

After saying goodbye to Morales, Ivan turned around, boarded the tram, and arrived at the University of the Wise.

Although students are now on holiday, the school's regular operations continue.

After all, the school has some laboratories and frequently collaborates with external companies.

Arriving at a school of this caliber, it's no longer just an academic institution. It's a behemoth encompassing education, medicine, finance, politics, and many other fields.

Ivan went directly to Professor Byron's office to check on Byron's condition.

After all, the subsequent fusion potion and information about the Institute of Excellence still need to be obtained from Byron.

The two traits I possess now, Star-Driller's Bite and Exceptional Flame, both originate from this Exceptional Research Institute.

To fully complete these two features, we will inevitably have to deal with this crazy organization.

I knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered.

Just then, a teacher from next door heard the noise and came out; it was Wright, who was on duty.

Even today, Wright still exudes Mons's style: stiff black-rimmed glasses, a crisply starched plaid shirt, and a cashmere vest.

As a student of Professor Mons, he was also in the chemistry department.

Although Professor Mons and Professor Byron did not get along, it did not hinder the daily work of their subordinates.

Upon seeing Ivan, he said, "Are you here to see Professor Byron, Arkham?"

Evan nodded. "Yes." Wright said, "Professor Byron's secretary contacted me yesterday and said that if you come looking for me, I should pass on this message to you."

"Professor Byron was injured while conducting an experiment a couple of days ago and is currently recuperating at home."

"And they said the previous plans would be postponed for five months."

"I hope you can study hard and stay healthy during this time."

Hearing this, Ivan smiled inwardly: "It seems that although Byron didn't die in that explosion, he was seriously injured."

"Given his impatient personality, he would probably push forward the experiment as long as he can move around normally."

"Now that even drug trials have stopped, I reckon at his current stage, he'd have trouble even moving around!"

Thinking of this, Ivan was filled with emotion: "I still have to thank Boss Yueling for the hair!"

He could sense that if it weren't for the Cain Thirst Blood Seed enhanced by the Moon Spirit, which granted him powerful survivability and self-healing abilities, he would never have survived such a violent explosion.

With a sigh of relief, Ivan smiled and said to Wright, "Thank you for letting me know, Professor Wright."

Wright then took a closer look at Evan's presentable and well-dressed middle-class attire.

The impeccably tailored three-piece suit, the silky cloak, and the exquisitely crafted cane in his hand—a serious look flashed in his eyes. He patted Ivan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Arkham, you're a promising student. Mr. Mons has high hopes for you!"

"Never sacrifice your health and future for the sake of temporary material enjoyment."

"You're only nineteen this year, you have a long future ahead of you."

Ivan nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Professor Wright. I will keep it in mind!"

"But don't worry, I'm in very good health now!"

After saying goodbye to Wright, Evan boarded the tram again and headed to the medical school.

After knocking on Dr. Forem's office door and hearing his gentle, refined voice, Evan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Dr. Forem was not injured.

Upon entering, I saw that Dr. Forem had four eyes on his face.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and he was concentrating intently on controlling the situation.

Soon the four eyes merged together, forming two normal eyes.

During this process, Dr. Forem's aura became somewhat disordered. But amidst this disorder, Ivan vaguely sensed that Dr. Forem's spirituality was rapidly increasing.

"Could it be...?"

Dr. Forem sized up Ivan's presentable attire and nodded with a smile: "Hmm, you've been a superhuman for twenty-two years!"

"Now, I'm just one step away from becoming a master!"

Ivan quickly smiled and said, "Congratulations, Doctor!"

Dr. Forem chuckled and shook his head: "You're probably worried about whether I've been affected, aren't you?"

Ivan was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Dr. Forem smiled and said, "My students at the university just called and told me about your schedule."

"Don't worry! Only experts get involved in that kind of thing; I, as an expert, am not qualified to join in the fun!"

As he spoke, a hint of relief crossed his face: "Perhaps it's also God's favor upon me."

"The turning point that made me a master was after this incident."

"Otherwise, if I were a master, I wouldn't be able to resist going to take a look at such an opportunity." Ivan nodded, "I'm relieved that you're alright."

Forem nodded: "The impact of this is very widespread, and the city will be in chaos from now on."

"I have always adhered to Professor Armitage's philosophy that the extraordinary should not harm ordinary people."

"The hospital hasn't been too busy lately, so I'll help you move your coursework outside the lab."

"Go help the action team deal with supernatural events that might harm civilians; that will count as your class time."

Hearing this, Ivan was overjoyed, as he would no longer need to spend his afternoons in the hospital or laboratory.

Forem smiled and said, "Now you are also a key member of the Bolton City's supernatural system."

"When I advance to the Master level in a while, I might need your help!"

Ivan immediately patted his chest and said, "No problem!"

After confirming all the details, Evan had a clear understanding of the aftermath of this incident.

"It wasn't just the masters who died in the dream world who were seriously injured; those who returned alive also suffered injuries of varying degrees."

"Although things will be relatively chaotic in the coming period, it also means I'll be quite safe for the time being." "Focus on improving my strength! Become a master as soon as possible!"

"The only pity is that old bastard Byron is so badly injured that he won't be able to make his secret potion for a while."

"Fortunately, I now have the recipe for the Black Sun Potion!"

Just then, a small, dollar-shaped bird landed beside him: "There's a potion contamination incident on Berlin Street. Please provide assistance as soon as possible!"

The voice inside is from Gray.

Ivan grinned: "Here you are!"

……

The next four months passed peacefully and fulfillingly.

Every day, Evan routinely takes his medicine to improve his attributes and extraordinary traits, attends classes in the morning, and reports to Dr. Forem in the afternoon.

After completing his registration, he can leave the medical school directly and go out to help under the guise of an overseas assignment.

He first registered a security company called "Wild Hunt" with Richard and others.

Then, through the special operations team's letter of appointment, I successfully became an official supplier. All subsequent missions were accepted under the supplier's name, following normal payment procedures.

Their primary contact was naturally Gray, who had now been promoted to deputy captain of the special operations team.

Thanks to Gray and Evan's relationship, the quality of the missions they were able to take on during this period was quite good.

Although some things may be troublesome, they are relatively safe.

Richard and his comrades now hold official detective status and corresponding hero medals, elevating their standing several levels compared to before.

Especially those large organizations that previously looked down on them and ignored them, such as the Secret Brotherhood, the Red King's Laboratory, and the Byron Group.

Now, although there's no real respect between us, at least we don't speak rudely to each other.

In addition to his daily hunting, Evan is now also conducting related scientific research.

One of these tasks was that he had begun performing routine surgical procedures, as well as related human anatomy and autopsies, with Dr. Forem at the hospital.

This process greatly increased Ivan's understanding of human anatomy.

Furthermore, combined with his powerful physical abilities and mental strength, Evan can perform precise surgical procedures for over ten hours without any errors.

With a growing understanding of the human body, Evan has begun devising a plan to modify the entire Witcher's physical structure. However, due to the lack of subsequent data on the burrowing worm, these plans remain only in the conceptual stage.

In addition to studying and practicing surgery, Evan also conducted related technological research in the field of refining.

With the help of his own copper pot, he is now making potions quite smoothly.

During this period, he mainly focused on developing sword oil made from his own poisoned blood.

Although the plan is good, Evan is currently mainly using an exhaustive approach because there are no relevant products or ideas before.

Using his own poisonous blood as the main ingredient, he combined everything he could think of.

The materials are relatively normal, including various poisons, heavy metals, and normal conventional drugs.

When these methods failed, Ivan started using folk remedies, including poisonous mushrooms, toads, venomous snakes, and various herbs...

Since these things didn't have any obvious effects, Evan started to let his imagination run wild.

What coffin boards, smelly insoles, moldy food, rotten potatoes...

Unfortunately, despite various combinations of the materials, the current result is only a semi-finished product that is highly toxic but also highly volatile.

This substance is much less toxic than my own poisonous blood, but it's enough. Although it doesn't have much corrosive ability, it can instantly produce a powerful effect on both the nervous system and hemolysis upon contact with bodily fluids.

However, this stuff is highly volatile; it evaporates completely within about an hour of being applied to the sword, and the toxins can also evaporate out.

When Evan was conducting experiments in the wild, the poison gas killed six wild boars and two pheasants in the vicinity.

In addition to these daily tasks, Evan also holds a ceremony every Wednesday to go to the Dreamland and thoroughly check the anchor points with his senior sister.

During this process, Ivan also learned about the rules governing the flow of time in the entire Dreamland.

The flow of time in the entire Dreamland is related to the phase of the moon each month; it doesn't mean that time inside is always much faster than in reality.

At its fastest, the ratio between the two sides was approximately 1:10, while at its slowest, it was approximately 8:1.

Over the course of a month, the Dreamland is about six days ahead of the real world.

It is precisely for this reason that people who spend a long time in a dream world will have a huge distorted perception of the material world.

Therefore, Hill wanted to stay in the Dreamland for a long time, so he had to check the anchor points every week.

As Evan grew rapidly, the entire city of Bolton underwent dramatic changes.

The most obvious example is the disintegration of the entire Sap Group. The once behemoth of Bolton City, after a series of investigations and settlement agreements, has now been broken up into more than twenty small and medium-sized companies.

The Sap Group was also plunged into serious internal strife due to the death of the elder Sap.

Family members who were already secretly fighting over inheritance rights are now openly taking sides to attack each other.

Some sought refuge with the merchants' guild, some relied on the nobility, and some chose to cooperate with the judges...

With the death of this lord-level factory owner, the golden power that originally belonged to him began to flow and disperse rapidly.

In the four months that followed, six factory owners, four financiers, and two judges emerged from the corpse of Sap.

Gold has indeed started to circulate!

P.S.: Monthly passes are also valuable! Please let them flow to me!
