Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Getting Out of Hand_1

Having obtained the ’Dark Transfer’ card, Mu You decided not to rush to merge it, and waited until he got back to assess the situation.

After Scorpio finished speaking, it was Sagittarius’s turn.

Sagittarius swiftly produced a card, "This is a lower-tier summoning black magic card called ’Summon Zombie’. It can summon a self-destructive zombie from a corpse. However, it’s best not to use this spell casually in front of others, especially in the game. Witnesses might mistake you for a ’Necromancer’ and you could end up on the most-wanted list of the Wizard Association..."

After Sagittarius explained the effect of his card, he surprisingly took out some materials, piled them in front of him, and then looked at Mu You. "I’m not offering this card for exchange, but as a payment for potion refinement to Aries the Great God. I hope you can help me refine an Evolution Elixir with these materials..."

Everyone was taken aback at these words, including Mu You.

They didn’t expect Sagittarius to be giving his card to Mu You for free, in exchange for his assistance in potion refinement.

But, Evolution Elixir?

What’s that? I’ve never heard of it...

Fortunately, he wasn’t the only one who had never heard of it. After Sagittarius finished speaking, Cancer, Scorpio, and Aquarius were all looking at him in confusion.

The girl of Aquarius couldn’t help but ask, "What’s an Evolution Elixir?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she remembered something, covered her mouth, and looked at the other people apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot I can’t interrupt..."

"That’s fine. I believe there are many newcomers present who haven’t heard of it. Sagittarius, why don’t you explain it to them," Mu You said.

"Alright."

Sagittarius glanced at the others and then nodded, "You players below level 10 may not know this, but unlike magical beasts, the experience bar for humans actually caps at level 10."

"You mean, once we reach level 10, we can’t continue to level up?" Scorpio asked in surprise.

"Exactly. to advance beyond level 10, you need to take an Evolution Elixir to extend your experience bar to level 15. Similarly, when you reach levels 15 and 20, you need to use an Evolution Elixir to extend your experience bar to levels 20 and 25 respectively, in order to continue leveling up. Moreover, the amount of Evolution Elixir needed for each stage is five times that required for the previous stage! For example, you only need 1 bottle at level 10, 5 bottles at level 15, 25 bottles at level 20... and so on."

"That sounds really complicated..."

Aquarius pouted, she had assumed that she would just need to grind experience to level up, but now realized there were many obstacles in the way.

"It may be complicated, but the rewards after evolution are more than worth it. After each evolution, you will receive two permanent buffs: ’Doubling all damage inflicted’ and ’Halving all damage taken’, and these effects can stack after multiple evolutions," Sagittarius explained.

Double damage and half damage?

Mu You was taken aback. Doubling the damage inflicted and halving the damage taken would result in a four-fold difference in combat power!

That is to say, even if a level 11 player and a level 10 player have similar attributes, the level 11 player could easily defeat the level 10 player.

"This is why players often refer to ’above level 10’ and ’above level 15’ as two milestones for players. Those below level 10 are all considered weak, but once they cross the threshold of level 10, they become ’Advanced Players’, boasting an overwhelming advantage over ordinary players. Similarly, once they reach level 15, they enter the ranks of ’Godlike Players’, who can crush advanced players," Sagittarius explained.

So that’s how it is...

Mu You finally understood why it was so difficult for the ten official players to defeat a summon with low intelligence on Qubai Mountain. At level 17, it had already undergone two evolutions, and its high damage resistance alone was more than enough to give them a hard time.

Fortunately, the summoned Holy Knight was primarily defensive, and lacked offensive power. Otherwise, they would have been defeated in no time, even if there were ten more of them.

"So, these materials you have are..." Scorpio said, looking at the materials in front of Sagittarius.

"Yes. These are the three main ingredients I found for making the Evolution Elixir: Abyssal Worm’s Counter Scales, the eyeballs of the Eyeball Grass, and the blood of a Unicorn. I prepared these materials three months ago, two sets for each type, but I couldn’t find a Magic Potion Master to refine it. It was only last week, when I discovered that Aries was a senior Magic Potion Master, that I finally saw a light at the end of the tunnel", Sagittarius said.

"Oh? So Aries the Great God is also a Magic Potion Master?"

Leo looked at Mu You in surprise, then turned to Sagittarius and shook his head, "However, Evolution Elixir is not something that a common Magic Potion Master can refine."

"How so?" Sagittarius was startled, she knew Lion was a level 12 player. He must’ve taken the Evolution Elixir, so his input in this matter was valid.

"Isn’t it known? The formula for this elixir has been monopolised by the Wizard Association a long time ago. Apart from their in-house Magic Potion Masters, they don’t share it with anyone else, resulting in most of the Magic Potion Masters in the Star Spirit World not being able to refine this elixir."

Lion shrugged helplessly: "It’s indeed a hassle. The annual output is limited, especially for us the Fools whose status is unique. We can’t get it by regular means, but only possibly from the black market. And it is almost impossible to get one, even if you have money, each bottle that appears will cause countless people to scramble for it. The Evolution Elixir I had was luckily found in some ruins. I haven’t been able to get a second bottle."

"Is that so... "

Hearing this, Sagittarius became anxious again and looked at Mu You extremely nervously: "So... Aries, can you refine the Evolution Elixir?"

With Sagittarius speaking up, everyone else simultaneously turned their gaze towards Mu You, holding their breath and waiting for his reply.

On her end, Mu You, after being silent for two seconds, nodded.

"Yes!"

Of course, he himself can’t, but isn’t he about to summon an important figure?

The Calamity Witch is regarded as the greatest Magic Potion Master in history. Even if the Wizard Association has monopolised the formula, they can’t possibly control her, right?

Plus, the reward Sagittarius offered was too tempting: a Magic Card and two sets of Magic Medicine Materials. The reason for the two sets was to take into consideration the possibility of a failed refinement, thereby giving the Magic Potion Master a higher margin of error.

But to Mu You, this was not an issue. With the help of the Time Pocket Watch and Fool’s Space, his success rate was always 100%. So apart from giving Sagittarius one elixir, he could keep one for himself. This was a surefire profitable deal.

"That’s great!"

Sagittarius was delighted. She hurriedly transmitted the medicine materials and the card to Mu You. It wasn’t until she saw him accept them that she let out a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, it’s wonderful!"

At this moment, Lion also began to applaud: "I never thought that Big Aries could refine the Evolution Elixir! This is the best news I’ve heard today! I dare say, if this news were to spread, it would absolutely cause an earthquake among player powers worldwide!"

"Err, is it really that exaggerated?" Across the screen, Scorpio hesitated, not really understanding.

"Yes! And it’s not an exaggeration at all!"

This time, it was Gemini who filled in, looking at Mu You with a touch of awe: "Being able to refine the Evolution Elixir is tantamount to breaking the monopolistic position of the Wizard Association. For us players, this event has epoch-making strategic significance. Because this means that in the future, mankind will not have to be shackled by the Wizard Association when it comes to levelling up. Just imagine, if — and I mean if — we have to go to war with the Wizard World at some point, this would be our final hope!"

"Also, if Aries the Great God joined any power on Earth now, he could instantly produce high-ranking players for them in bulk. Do you know what this means? It means that Aries the Great God has the ability to overturn the current global player power structure at any time!"

Changing his previous cautious demeanor, Gemini began to sing Mu You’s praises.

He couldn’t help it. At first, he was dissatisfied with Aries, thinking that he was just an ordinary person who had gotten lucky with the Aries Ring.

But now, he finally understood. The guy who could even refine the Evolution Elixir was a true powerhouse. He absolutely needed to hold on tight to him!

Upon hearing Gemini’s analysis, everyone else’s expressions subtly changed, either surprised or filled with awe as they looked at Mu You. In their eyes, there was a unanimous hint of flattery.

After all, the Evolution Elixir was something they all would need in the future. Considering the difficulties in obtaining it, and also having such a capable person in their midst... they absolutely needed to align with him!

"emmm..."

Mu You was rendered speechless.

Damn it, all he did was accept an order, so why was the atmosphere suddenly whipped up again?

And it was even more outrageous than the last time—last time he was merely considered an Ancient Great God, this time he was directly hailed as mankind’s savior...
