After handing the enhancement stones to Suna, Yang Yi gets to work forging the fake Broken Irons and crystal greatshields. He's taken deposits, after all, and needs to deliver the goods as soon as possible. He asked Suna to make several more molds—four for greatswords, two for greatshields—to speed things up. So far, twenty greatswords and eight greatshields have been pre-ordered.Yang Yi works until nightfall, still four greatswords short of finishing. Seeing his stamina is approaching 30, he stops for the day. After replying to a few private messages, all thirty-six pieces of crystal equipment have been claimed. With his own reserved greatsword and five greatshields, he should be able to finish everything tomorrow. He ships the completed items in the order they were placed, then has a simple meal with Suna. This time, thanks to the gas masks, their appetites are unaffected.After dinner, Suna says she wants to spend more time in the lab and heads back. She's already figured out a modified recipe for the Scorched Wine. It still relies on the Glutton's Stomach, which can secrete different digestive fluids based on its contents. By feeding it Fire Bananas, she can get a fluid similar to the monkey's, but more potent. She then cultivates the microbial colonies from the monkey's intestines, creating a special yeast-like culture that, with the help of the digestive fluid, can ferment the bananas into Scorched Wine. The process is repetitive and requires many steps, which is what has been keeping her busy. The new batch should be ready in about a week. The two tons of mostly unripe Fire Bananas he harvested won't go to waste.Yang Yi grabs one of the bananas and eats it as he walks to his cabin. Eaten raw, the fruit is spicy enough to make him sweat, with only a hint of sweetness, likely because it's not ripe.He looks at the two extra potions he has. He's never tried either of them. One is the orange potion he's been afraid to drink. The other is a cloudy, red potion, the one made from Fire Banana seeds and his blood that he'd °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° offered to the Collector. As for the powdered werewolf potion, he'd tried taking it the "correct" way by igniting it for five seconds, but it had no effect, probably because he's already a werewolf."Should I try it?"He looks at the cloudy red potion, thinks for a few seconds, and drinks it. The moment he opens the cap, it begins to fizz violently like a soda. The taste is like a spicy cola, slightly sweet but with a kick.[You drank an unknown potion. Sanity decreased by 20.][Your blood pressure is soaring, your blood is nearly boiling, your body temperature is rising. All attributes except Spirit +2 for twenty minutes.]His skin turns a deep blood-red, much redder than it did with the crimson potion. His body temperature spikes to sixty or seventy degrees. He can hear the blood roaring and boiling in his veins, and his body begins to swell."An enhanced version of the crimson potion?" he says, surprised. The effect is impressive, a full +2 to all stats except Spirit, double the bonus of the original. But after reading the potion's full description, his calm vanishes.[Name: Boiling Blood Potion][Type: Consumable/Potion/Unique][Quality: Treasure][Description: An original potion by the witch Suna. Brewed from Yang Yi's blood, Fire Banana seeds, a Human-headed Octopus, a Hand-Star, an Ab-Lobster, and an Eyeball Octopus. It will boil at standard temperature and pressure.After consumption: Sanity -20, blood pressure soars, skin turns red, body temperature rises. All attributes except Spirit +2 for twenty minutes.After the effect ends, you will suffer massive hemorrhaging and ruptured blood vessels, causing severe injuries.]Before, this side effect would have been lethal. Only his current werewolf constitution allows him to endure it. He sends the info to Suna and readies a regeneration potion.Twenty minutes pass. Blood vessels all over his body, including his capillaries, begin to rupture. Beads of blood form on his skin, and larger vessels burst like cracked pipes, spurting blood."Are you okay?" Suna finally replies, having not seen his message earlier."I probably won't die!" he types back, downing a regeneration potion. He's lost over 20 health; his werewolf constitution is indeed tough. "Good," she replies. "Don't waste the blood. I'll bring some bottles up.""Uhh…" Yang Yi is speechless.An hour later, thanks to the potion and his constitution, the injuries are no longer a major issue. Suna has collected a good amount of his blood, likely to make more Boiling Blood Potions. After the incident, Yang Yi wants to do nothing but sleep. The Crow's Nest cooldown ends tomorrow.But the price of wood has dropped to 16 coins a unit and is still falling as the main fleet of players, including the New World Fleet, finally escapes the Extreme Winter Region.Suddenly, a system-wide announcement goes out.[The number of Level 4 ship players has exceeded ten thousand. The Bountiful Sea will spread after all players have left the Extreme Winter Region.]"Level 4 ships…" Yang Yi thinks. The player base is upgrading fast, though they're likely all normal ships. He checks the chat and sees a new window displaying the number of players remaining in the Extreme Winter Region: 24 million. The number is smaller than he expected. He contacts Shen Guanquan to arrange a food purchase once prices stabilize. The Nyxstar is nearly out of supplies, and he suspects the food in the Bountiful Sea might be inedible, just like that Delicious Mushroom.
