Making the combat potions was harder than Xinya anticipated because his level in potions was still low. Even though with his past experience, he did all the steps perfectly, he still failed 40% of the ti when making the mini fireball potion. After creating about 50 of the potions, he stopped. He didn't have a large supply of the glow flowers and he needed to save a few of them for sothing else. He was about to start making the dreaming dust potion when he saw lting Snow walk over, looking curious.
"Drifting Cloud, why are you making so many potions? Do you think we will need them tomorrow when we walk through the forest?" asked lting Snow.
"The potions I'm making right now are combat potions. I was reading the notes I got from the book in the dungeon while soaking my feet and gained a new combat potion."
"Really? That's aweso!!" lting Snow exclaid. "What kind of combat potion did you get."
"It's called a mini fireball, it can cause damage to two monsters at a ti, it also said the damage isn't that high but I'm happy to have it either way. Plus, if I pair it with dreaming dust, it should be fine." Xinya replied.
"Dreaming dust? What is that?" lting Snow asked, confused since he had never heard of that skill before.
"It's another combat potion. It dropped from the potion monster after we killed it, rember?" said Xinya.
lting Snow thought for a while before saying, "Oh, yeah, I rember now. I thought the recipe was for a regular potion and didn't really pay it any mind. So, what does that combat potion do?"
"It can put monsters to sleep for a short period of ti and, while they are sleeping, the damage done to them will be greater. But I think it would be only the first hit done to them while they are sleeping because I assu they will wake up after being hit once." Xinya said, his excitent about this combat potion was clearly showing on his face.
"Wow!! I've never heard of that skill or anything else like that before." lting Snow said in wonder. "It must be rare, check the circle rating."
"I think it will be a waste of ti, there's no way a rare recipe would drop from a monster in a low-level dungeon like that one. A person would need a lot of luck for that to happen and." Xinya stopped mid-sentence when he rembered that he did have the luck stat. He almost facepald himself. "Right, let look."
lting Snow was a bit confused with the quick turnaround, but just said, "Alright."
Xinya opened up the circle rating tab, which was conveniently located next to his character tab and scrolled through it. Circle ratings were on almost everything, skills, recipes, plants, etc. It showed how rare an object was, for example, the green herb for potions is considered one star since it's extrely common. The more circles an object has, the more difficult for it to be obtained.
Scrolling through the list, Xinya finally found the potion section. Going straight to the combat potion section, he quickly looked for dreaming dust, and what he saw surprised even him. Dreaming dust had six circles, the highest amount there was. This ant that this combat potion was extrely rare to get. Which ant his luck really worked in his favor this ti.
Seeing the dumbfounded look on Xinya's face, lting Snow asked, "What is it? What does it say?"
"It says that the combat potion is a six circle one," Xinya replied.
"No way, are you kidding right now? lting Snow asked.
"Nope, a monster in a low-level dungeon dropped an extrely rare potion," Xinya said matter of factly.
"Man, if we had sold it. We would be swimming in money right now." lting Snow said with regret.
Laughing, Xinya said, "This is a combat potion, besides , who would be dumb enough to get this class."
"Oh, that's right. Even if it is extrely rare, nobody would've wanted it anyway." lting Snow said, feeling better now that he knew that there wouldn't have been any coin to gain from it.
Rolling his eyes at lting Snow, Xinya began trying to make the Dreaming dust potion. Now that he knew that it's a six circle potion, he knew that the failure rate would be really high at his current level in potions. The potion required stamina potions and the dewy-eyed fruit. Although Xinya had tons of stamina potions he only had 50 dewy-eyed fruits, the dewy-eyed trees were good for the soil and helped the plants grow, so he collected a few in Beginner town for when he buys his own land. If he knew a day would co that he would need the fruits he would have collected more of them.
"Drifting Cloud, I can't wait until our next battle to see your combat potions in action. I will make sure to record it, and rub in everyone's faces how aweso you are." lting Snow said gleefully as he watched Xinya prepare his ingredients.
Stopping what he was doing, Xinya said, "lting Snow, don't record when I start using my combat potions, please."
"Why not?" lting Snow asks in confusion. "I hate how everyone badmouths you, saying you're useless. Once they see your combat potions in action that will shut them up."
"Yes, it will. I agree with you, but it will also bring problems. What do you think would happen if ranker and guilds see that I can put tons of monsters to sleep with just one potion?" Xinya asked seriously.
lting Snow thought about it and realized exactly what would happen, "They would co after you, trying to make you join them and if you didn't, they would harass you."
"Exactly. Right now, I'm still a newbie with no backing, so, until I get so, I have to hide my true strength, do you understand?"
"I do, once I get a sponsor, you won't need to worry about anything. I will have your back, then you can show your true skill without any worry." lting Snow said.
Xinya humored him and said. "I'll be waiting for that day."
