Chapter 284: 035: Never Forget and Su Ya Water

Lynch had previously studied many related topics in Magic Potion, but most of them were confined to the apprentice stage, and there wasn’t much content at the Wizard Level.

Here in the Magic Potion Manor, just the theoretical knowledge above the Wizard Level alone, excluding formulas, filled thousands of volumes. The apprentice-level material and all sorts of miscellaneous content totaled tens of thousands, even over a hundred thousand books.

Through learning and mastering this breadth of knowledge, Lynch managed to significantly deepen his understanding of this discipline.

From material processing and refinement, to energy and potion property blending, to the intricate principles and techniques of combining various materials—he had developed a meticulous understanding of it all, progressing from surface-level basics to deep expertise.

Lynch learned quickly—

Over the years of relentless study and cultivation, Lynch had unlocked many traits, one of which was [Never Forget].

Trait: Never Forget.

Never Forget: Your memory has reached a remarkable level; any information that passes through your eyes or ears is permanently etched into your mind. Whether text, images, or sounds, you can recall them with perfect clarity.

Trait Effect: When studying any knowledge or skill, you can commit it to memory after carefully reading through it once.

On its own, this trait might not seem particularly special, as there are many magical spells that achieve similar effects. Even using spiritual power to perform imprints can essentially achieve ’Never Forget.’

However, when paired with the system interface, it becomes extraordinarily effective.

No matter how obscure the knowledge, Lynch needed only to glance at it once to record it. He could then use the system interface to repeatedly review and refine his skill level.

When combined with the Time Hut, the efficiency of this learning method reached an almost "cheating-level" absurdity.

Lynch would pick up a book, finish it, and memorize it, then enter the Time Hut to repeatedly study the memorized content and enhance his skill proficiency. Due to the different flow of time between the hut and reality, he could read through the material multiple times in the hut while mere moments passed in the real world.

Using this "cheat-like" approach, Lynch managed to study several books, dozens of books, or even up to a hundred books of potion knowledge from the database every day, progressing directly from beginner to expert.

Previously, Lynch’s grasp of Magic Potion had been roughly elementary-school level, but now he had transitioned to high school and was steadily advancing...

Time flew by—in the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

Magic Potion Manor, Lanice’s quarters.

The silver moon hung high in the sky, magical candlelight flickered, and Lynch sat alone in the study. Ancient texts emitted a faint blue glow, while outside, nocturnal crows softly cawed. The room was immersed in a mix of potion scents and the fragrance of parchment.

After a while, Lynch set down the book.

["Moonlight Potion Blending Complete Hundred Examples" proficiency +66]

["Moonlight Potion Blending Complete Hundred Examples" max]

Another book mastered.

Glancing at the system’s notifications, Lynch casually placed the completed book back on the shelf beside him.

Feeling parched after reading for so long, Lynch was about to get up for a glass of water when a knock sounded from behind him.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Lanice’s voice followed: "May I come in? Oh! Let me guess—you wouldn’t refuse a steaming cup of cocoa-laced hot milk on a night like this, right?"

Her tone carried a playful charm, and before Lynch could respond, she pushed the door open, holding a cup of steaming milk. The rich aroma of milk, mixed with the fragrance of cocoa, quickly filled the room.

...Lynch still couldn’t fathom how she managed it; it seemed almost supernatural.

Whenever Lynch felt thirsty, she’d promptly deliver a drink; hungry, she’d bring delicious food; tired, she’d deliver cushions... It was as if she had mastered the Mind Reading Technique, always catering to Lynch’s every physical need with pinpoint accuracy.

Taking the oak cup, Lynch asked seriously, "Come clean—did you secretly learn some incredible Ancient Magic that lets you read minds? Why does it feel like you always know what I need just in time to deliver it?"

Lanice laughed: "Hehe, isn’t it just a resonance of the heart?"

Feigning amazement, Lynch remarked, "Wow, being on the same wavelength as Magic Potion Manor’s ’Secret Medicine Rose’—I guess those who accuse me on the outside can finally add another charge."

Lanice was a popular figure in the manor—beautiful, young, talented, and with great potential to advance as a Wizard. Her admirers were numerous, including pureblood suitors from nearby Wizard Families.

Lanice rolled her eyes: "Those are just silly nicknames made up by idle people! I detest them—they’re like flies, absolutely annoying."

Lynch chuckled: "That must really hurt their feelings."

Lanice said, "If those words could keep those flies away, I’d curse a trumpet flower to play them on loop day and night."

Ah, so this is the "goddess’s" true thoughts?

Lynch couldn’t help but silently mourn for her admirers.

Lanice quickly added, "Alright, enough of that—drink up! I added Fairy Flower Nectar, and it tastes best while hot. It won’t be as good cold."

Lynch brought the milk up to sip.

Lanice, like an eager child awaiting praise, stared at him unblinking: "How is it?"

After a pause, she added, "No saying thank you, though."

This derailed Lynch’s prepared gratitude, forcing him to swallow back the words and nod approvingly instead. "It’s fantastic," he declared.

Despite the simplicity of praise, Lanice’s face blossomed into an utterly radiant smile.

Gazing at her smile, Lynch suddenly thought of something. He reached into his Space Pocket and retrieved a Magic Potion Bottle, handing it to Lanice: "This is for you."

Confused, Lanice asked, "What is it?"

With an air of casualness, Lynch replied, "Su Ya Water."

"What!"

Lanice gasped, gripping the bottle so tightly her fingers automatically clenched around it.

Su Ya Water: The most commonly used magic potion for apprentices advancing to Wizards, greatly increasing the success rate of this critical step. It is an essential item for this transition.

With a hint of smugness, Lynch explained, "I found the complete formula for this in the knowledge database. Happened to have the materials too, so I tried mixing it a few times—and surprise, it worked."

His tone was nonchalant, but if other Wizards heard it, they’d undoubtedly think he was bragging.

Su Ya Water belonged to the Second Tier Mystical Level of magic potions, and within both the Magic Potion Manor and Ancient Ruins, it was one of the most complex and challenging potions to craft.

Crafting it required at minimum a Spiritual Field equivalent to a High-level Wizard, exceptional proficiency in Magic Potion, and even then, success rates remained low.

Lynch managed this easily due to his elevated Spiritual Field, already at the Second Order Level, making it far simpler for him to craft same-rank potions versus attempting across different levels.

Additionally, the quality of his materials played a crucial role.

The ingredients for Su Ya Water were strictly regulated, unavailable for purchase on the market. Back when Avery was preparing for Lynch’s advancement, she had gathered some preemptively. However, Lynch had advanced directly without needing them.

Those materials, taken from Avery’s family stash, were of the highest grade—and high-grade ingredients naturally bolstered the success rate.

Taking a deep breath, Lanice, overcome with emotion, exclaimed, "Do you understand how precious this is?"

This potion was considered one of the most invaluable treasures during the apprentice period, unobtainable through mere Magic Stones. The only way to acquire it was through formal application—no alternatives.

Lanice had finished meditating on Basic Runes years ago but had been unable to advance to Wizard Level because of the lack of Su Ya Water.

Her application had long been submitted, but approval was blocked during processing, manipulated by those pureblood Wizards seeking to pressure her into submission.

Previously, Lanice had resigned herself to possibly never advancing in her lifetime. She hadn’t expected Lynch to casually place such a priceless treasure before her.

Shrugging, Lynch said, "In the face of friendship, this is worth nothing."

He was, after all, a fugitive—a wanted criminal—with a bounty exceeding eight digits. Even the slightest hint from Lanice would guarantee her limitless prospects.

And yet, she had ignored all of that, not only providing Lynch with shelter but also maneuvering resources to help him access the knowledge library. Any single one of these actions could have condemned her to the execution pyre...

Compared to such sacrifices, a mere bottle of Su Ya Water was insignificant.

Lanice’s eyes sparkled like stars.

She stared at Lynch in awe before boldly stepping forward and wrapping him in an embrace.

Then,

Before Lynch could react, Lanice leaned her head forward, and in the next moment, Lynch felt the soft touch of her lips pressed against his...
