Chapter 48 The Poison Spring Paradox

 ‘Dark wizards are people who steal power from nature and must remain humble and cautious at all times...’

He turned around and thought about the sentence carefully, but still didn't see any clue, so he had to leave it alone for now.

[When the crow sees you drink the potion, it takes off again and flaps its wings to signal you to follow.]

After passing the first level, the crow began to lead the way again.

Just as Mu You was about to follow, he suddenly remembered something and controlled the character to pick up the remaining bottle of potion on the altar.

This poisonous spring water is also a good thing. You can use it to deal with werewolves when you bring it back. Even if it doesn't work well, it can poison some wild monsters that he can't defeat.

[You secretly picked up the bottle of ‘Death Spring Water’ and hid it in your backpack. The crow glanced back at you and said nothing.]

Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the crow acquiesced to his behavior.

[You followed the crow, turning left and right in the forest, and finally came to an ugly-looking ‘crazy pharmacist’ with pimples and thick sores all over his body.]

[The Crazy Pharmacist was originally a kind doctor who lived near the Black Forest, but after studying potions for a period of time with the Calamity Witch, he became paranoid and weird. Ordinary potions could no longer satisfy his pursuit.

He began to experiment with all kinds of weird formulas, looking for various possible combinations. However, due to the lack of experimental subjects, the effect was difficult to guarantee. He had to use himself as an experimental subject, tasted various potions, and finally turned himself into this inhuman picture.

Looking like a ghost or not...]

[Seeing your arrival, the crazy pharmacist was extremely excited. He looked at you like a guinea pig. He placed three potions, red, blue and purple, in front of him and asked you to choose one bottle to drink. If you are still alive, even if

Trial passed!】

[You look at the ground around you. There are fewer bones here than at the altar just now, but there are still thousands. Obviously, these people have been eliminated at this level. You look at these bones

, as if I saw my next fate.]

[Three bottles of potion, you choose to drink...]

Three options, red, blue, purple.

Mu You curled his lips, it turned out to be another option to gamble on luck.

Looking at the descriptions of the bones around, it doesn’t take much to figure out that there must be poison in these three bottles.

There’s nothing much to say about this. Let’s try each of the three bottles of potion before talking.

[You took the red potion, oh, this familiar taste, isn’t it the ‘Death Spring Water’ you just drank? You unexpectedly picked it up again without learning a lesson!]

[Your legs weaken and fall to the ground again, bleeding from all your orifices. In a daze, you once again hear someone whispering in your ear: If you accidentally lose control, the way to salvation is to face it head-on, rather than turning into another monster.

…】

Sure enough, there is poison, and a new reminder was given.

Mu You hurriedly scanned it, wrote down this reminder, and hurriedly retraced the time.

[You take the blue potion, and nothing changes. It turns out that it is just a bottle of water with blue dye added.]

"Backtracking."

[You take the purple potion, which is a super powerful potion! Your power begins to grow crazily, and it increases by a thousand points in the blink of an eye!]

"What?"

Mu You looked at the new prompts in the game in shock, almost thinking that he had read it wrong.

A bottle of potion gave him a thousand points of strength?

I quickly cut out the panel and took a look.

Sure enough, the strength value in the attribute has become 1004 points. Because the value is too high, the original value after the decimal point is simply ignored by him.

This result was too scary, so Mu You quickly pressed his pocket watch and turned back to calm down his shock.

Of the three bottles of potion, in terms of results alone, there is no doubt that the purple potion is the best.

However, the problem is that it is too good and scary. 1000 points of power makes him feel extremely unreal.

At this moment, an idea flashed in Mu You's mind, and he suddenly remembered the reminder from the first trial: Dark wizards are those who steal power, so do not pursue power that you cannot control...

Isn’t that what you’re talking about?

The combination of these two factors made Mu You not choose the purple potion in the end.

[You chose the blue potion, and nothing happened after drinking it.]

[You passed the test, but the crazy pharmacist looked at you with an unkind expression: What a pity, you didn’t choose my strength potion! That is my favorite work. After drinking it, you can increase your strength by a thousand points! Although the cost is

Afterwards you will 'lose control' and become a baboon with well-developed limbs and a simple mind...】

Mu You's eyes twitched when he saw it. There was something wrong with the medicine. After drinking it, he turned into a baboon...

But from this point of view, the hint given in the first trial is true, that is to say, for each trial, there will be tips for passing the next trial.

However, this hint for passing the level is hidden in the poison. After drinking the poison, the person will die immediately, and how can he pass the level like a ghost?

Mu You really doesn't know how to complain. What kind of infinite loop paradox is this? Fortunately, he has a time pocket watch, so he can ignore it.

[You passed the second trial. Now, you can ask the crazy pharmacist a question. You choose...]

[Ask about ‘out of control’.]

[Ask the ‘Witch’.]

[Ask about ‘rewards’.]

At the end of the trial, this level was not skipped immediately, but three more options popped up.

Mu You clicked ‘Out of Control’ first.

['Out of control' is a term in black magic. Black magic is a very delicate magic. Every bit of its energy must be used carefully. Once there is a slight deviation, no matter it is more or less, it will immediately cause the user to lose control.

', the specific manifestation is: the user will lose their mind, and the flesh and blood of the whole body will mutate into some kind of monster, such as spiders, monkeys, mice, frogs, various plants, etc. The specific mutation is completely random. In short, the black wizard after losing control

, will never be able to return to human form again.]

"So this is the price of black magic!"

Mu You finally understood the risks involved in learning black magic. Turning into a monster if you disagree with him is permanent. This is indeed a bit difficult, but it is not impossible.

According to this person, as long as the energy is controlled 'finely' enough, 'loss of control' can be avoided.

After reading the text, Mu You went back to the file and asked the ‘witch’ again.

[Teacher Vivian is not a good person, but when it comes to her understanding of potions, she considers herself second, and no one dares to admit that she is first. She is the most talented potion master in history! If you have a chance, you must follow

She studies Potions.]

It seems that this witch is not only powerful, but also an expert in potions!

Mu You was even more satisfied, this was indeed a perfect student.

Go back and click on the third item.

[You asked about the reward for passing the trial. The pharmacist reluctantly took out a crucible from behind. This is the crucible that the Disaster Witch used when she was a child. The witch told him that if someone passes this trial,

Just give the crucible as a reward.]

【You got the witch's cauldron!】
