After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower
Chapter 174 - 172

Chapter 174: Chapter 172

Yan Jiajia was already a High-level superpower user, having been previously taught by Li Pan, and this time, with a supply of materials on hand, she vowed to master all the medicines, and her dedication was frightening to others.

With her leading the way, the others studied even more desperately, comparing notes openly and selflessly. Whoever learned a potion would actively share tips and techniques, united in their determination to master their skills and take them home.

"Time for dinner, I’ve brought your meals over."

"Is it time to eat already? Let’s have dinner first."

"Or we could just take a Food Potion to save time."

A female Wood Power User, still busy with her task, said without putting her work down.

"Meals are cheaper than potions," Li Pan interjected.

Food Potions are fine and can provide certain nutrients to the body, but they indeed offer less comprehensive nutrition than actual meals do.

"Everything we eat at the farm is grown by us, which is much more nutritious than potions and very beneficial to our health. You’ll miss out if you don’t eat."

The female Wood Power User had no choice but to set aside her work, stretching her neck and shoulders, which felt stiff.

"I’m here, sister. Oh! My body is all stiff."

"There’s plenty of time left. On this visit, we will continue until you’ve completely mastered it, don’t worry, I have enough materials for you all to use."

"But you can’t say that, these Spirit Fruits are so precious; they can’t stand being wasted without limit. We have already wasted so much, it hurts just thinking about it. This could save so many lives, I’m getting really anxious."

The female superpower user spoke and couldn’t help but start crying.

Their education here was free, but the Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Fruits were supplied by Li Pan. The base itself didn’t have as much; it was meant to be a set amount of Spiritual Medicine for practice—if you didn’t learn, they wouldn’t care about you, there was not an endless supply of materials for you to squander.

But Li Pan took the initiative to bring people to the farm, and the wasted Spiritual Medicines were her own products. While everyone was grateful, they also felt immense pressure as they watched batch after batch wasted away—it was heart-wrenching and urgent.

"What’s the rush? If you’re already struggling with such a minor issue, how did I manage when I was learning High-level Potions? I alone wasted nearly ten million in Medicinal Materials. If High-level Potions were so easy to master, why have the families been controlling potion-making for so many years? It’s not because I was the only one with a high talent for superpowers; it’s because Medicinal Materials are so expensive. No one dares to really go for it, and this creates a vicious cycle."

Yan Jiajia also sighed, "We’ve already come this far, and if we can’t learn, we would have wasted so much. Put together, we’ve thrown away ten million. If we can’t learn and improve ourselves and then go back to the imperial capital, how can we face anyone? This opportunity won’t come a second time. Pan’er is willing to give you countless chances, but do you really have the heart to waste these precious Medicinal Materials over and over?"

With tears in their eyes, everyone nodded in agreement with Yan Jiajia’s words.

Even if Li Pan gave them another chance to come back, they couldn’t keep wasting such precious Spiritual Medicine indefinitely; they would have no face to do so.

"So look, we’ve come to this. We must master it before going back. Every additional person who masters these skills means more ordinary people can benefit. As potions become cheaper, ordinary people won’t have to wait for death; many lives can be saved."

Li Pan smiled gently at them.

"Let’s all work hard together, and not go back until we’ve mastered it."

"Right, I refuse to believe that I can’t learn it."

Many girls swore that they would indeed learn it.

The group became even more diligent than before. At night, when everyone else had gone to sleep, they discussed quietly, finding ways to navigate the potion-making process to minimize waste, sharing their failures and successes to help each other reduce losses.

Each day they progressed, wasting less and less Medicinal Materials and mastering a greater variety of potions. Li Pan smiled in relief.

Yan Jiajia was the first to master all types of potions, her strength clearly evident.

Under the concerted efforts of everyone, several new flavors of Food Potions were developed through research, including beef and lamb flavors. The fruit flavors were the most delicious, particularly the sweet orange and lemon flavors, which had a fresh, sweet and sour taste.

Green tea and jasmine tea flavors were also good, and, after repeated testing, they were supported by staff votes.

These new potions were taste-tested by farm employees, and only those that were repeatedly tested to be non-toxic and without side effects were courageously offered to the staff. After consuming them, clinical effects were monitored in various aspects. Everyone was eager to sign up, knowing they would benefit and that the consumption was absolutely safe without side effects.

Of course, when everyone had mastered the production of all types of potions, three months had passed.

Everyone had a sense of being worlds apart; they looked up to find the grass had yellowed, the tree leaves had fallen, autumn had arrived, and the harvest season had ended.

Seeing the bewildered expressions on everyone’s faces, Li Pan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

These people were so focused that they neglected the changes around them, even to the point of not remembering what they had eaten the day before. Their entire minds were devoted to their work.

"Have we really mastered it?"

"It’s true, all categories are top grade, with a success rate of over eighty percent. Congratulations to you, you’ve lived up to expectations and haven’t let everyone down, you really are excellent."

Li Pan clapped her hands in a solemn manner, offering her praise, her eyes filled with admiration and respect.

Yan Jiajia wiped her face, closed her eyes, feeling a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. A multitude of feelings churned in her chest, and she felt like crying.

"According to the farm’s reward system, you can each receive two bottles of any potion as a reward, which belong to you personally."

"Thank you! I don’t need that much. Just one bottle of Awakening Potion and one bottle of High-level Promotion Potion will suffice. I don’t want the rest."

The female Wood Power User spoke up first. Being able to learn a skill was already a great kindness; she could not ask for more. If her family did not need these two potions, she would not have even asked, as she could not afford them—they were too expensive.

"No problem."

"I don’t need it either, I can’t use it, so don’t waste it."

Yan Jiajia waved her hand, indicating she didn’t need it.

The others only chose the Awakening Potion and the High-level Potion as well, as these two were so costly that many people simply could not afford them, otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked for them.

Li Pan had always planned to reward them, so naturally, she would not begrudge these small things.

They had been working there for almost four months, helping her a lot. With someone to look after and record the Spirit Plants, and them producing Medicine, everyone appreciated her efforts and felt sorry for the waste of high-level spiritual medicine. They voluntarily helped her to make Low-Middle Grade Potions daily to make amends, contributing what little they could.

The large-scale production of Low-Middle Grade Potions also helped the farm gain fame, supplying several nearby bases and solidifying the farm’s reputation even further.

After resting for a few days, it was time for everyone to leave. Before they left, Yan Jiajia led everyone in preparing a batch of high-quality High-level Potions for the farm’s reserve as compensation and as a token of their gratitude.

Including the Medicine bought by the government, Li Pan entrusted them with its production, to improve their skills and increase their hands-on experience.

Once everyone had completed their tasks and had their potions ready to go, they got on the vehicle.

All of them stood in a row, giving Li Pan and all the farm staff, including the Base Commander and others, a solemn military salute.

"Thank you for your support. We will never forget it in our lifetimes. When we return to the imperial capital, let’s keep in touch."

"Of course, have a smooth journey."

Li Pan waved goodbye to them.
