"Gulp…"
Luo En stared at the bottle glowing with a strange green light, unconsciously swallowing.
Based on his spiritual intuition, he was certain that what was before him was the Sequence 7 Beyonder potion he needed.
He looked up, his gaze returning to Roy King, scrutinizing his still-smiling face.
"How much?"
"1800 pounds," Roy King stated a number.
1800 pounds… Luo En did the math in his head.
The main ingredient for a Sequence 7 Beyonder potion was around 700 pounds, so two main ingredients, plus some supplementary materials… The price was very reasonable, with virtually no markup.
"A very reasonable price, I think we can make a deal."
This was a rare opportunity, and Luo En didn't plan to give it up.
"I can pay directly." As he spoke, he reached into his inner pocket.
Roy King, however, suddenly pressed down on the Beyonder potion bottle, his eyes narrowing slightly behind his glasses: "I have an additional condition."
"Your 'Robot' Beyonder potion has been digested, right?"
"Yes." Luo En didn't hide it.
Seeing Luo En nod, he spoke softly: "The additional condition is… you must consume it in front of me."
…
"To prevent me from divining its formula?" After a moment of silence, Luo En guessed.
From his studies on the Golden Dream, Luo En learned that when some factions cultivate Beyonders, they often only provide finished Beyonder potions, the purpose being to prevent the Beyonder potion formula from being leaked.
"Yes." Roy King didn't deny it, "There is indeed that consideration."
"After all, Beyonder potion formulas are our foundation, so of course, they need to be kept secret."
"Damn it, you don't trust us, do you?" Danitz, sitting nearby, was a little angry upon hearing this.
"You are a pirate! 'Flaming'." Roy King casually stated Danitz's identity.
His meaning was clear: Do pirates have such a thing as credit?
"I…" Danitz, recognized, was instantly speechless.
Roy King turned his gaze back to Luo En and continued: "Actually, there's another reason."
"Consider it satisfying my curiosity; I'm very curious if you are a qualified Lucky One."
Luo En lowered his head, lost in thought.
Roy King shouldn't have a reason to harm me. If he wanted to be unfavorable to me, there's no need to wait until now, nor does he need to specifically take out a Beyonder potion to tempt me.
He also recognized Danitz's identity and knows our relationship with Iceberg Admiral, so there's no need to risk offending Iceberg Admiral to harm us.
Wait… Could it be precisely because he recognized Danitz's identity that he gave up the idea of taking me as a student?
This… seems possible, after all, normal people don't want their students to have too much involvement with other factions, especially when the other party is a pirate.
So, there shouldn't be any problem with this Beyonder potion, right?
Although my spiritual intuition showed no abnormalities and I received no warnings, but…
What if some supplementary materials were added too much, or too little…
Premonitions aren't always accurate. Even if there's no immediate danger, there might be some side effects.
What if there was an extra fly or a missing spoon or something…
"If you're not at ease, we can sign an agreement." Roy King suggested, seemingly discerning Luo En's hesitation.
…
"No… I agree."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Being overly timid is not like a Transmigrator.
"This…" Danitz stood up and came to Luo En's side, whispering.
"Why don't you reconsider? This person always feels strange."
"No, based on the feeling Roy King gives me, he should be on the same Sequence as the Captain. If he wanted to harm us, there's no need to be this troublesome."
"What! This guy is on the same level as the Captain?" Danitz glanced at Roy King with a look of surprise.
"Here's 1800 pounds." Luo En turned around, counted out 1800 pounds in cash, and handed it to the other party.
"Please." Roy King released his hand from the Beyonder potion and gestured for him to take it.
Luo En picked up the Beyonder potion, hesitated for a few seconds, then poured it into his mouth.
A complex and slimy taste spread throughout his mouth.
The Beyonder potion, like jelly, directly slipped down his throat, then slid along his esophagus.
A peculiar sensation began to permeate his entire body.
"This… this feeling." Luo En had intended to converge his spirituality first, but he found something was amiss.
He slightly bent his knees, wanting to change his posture for meditation, but suddenly his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the seat.
The moment the Beyonder potion entered his mouth, two sensations surged through his body one after another.
One was the corrosive feeling of the Beyonder potion itself, and the other was…
This feeling… is… the feeling of Beyonder potion digestion!
Huh?
How is this possible?!
I just drank this Beyonder potion! Did I inadvertently act it out beforehand?
Through his studies during this period, he understood the concepts related to acting.
But that doesn't make sense either! How exactly am I like a Lucky One?
Ever since I transmigrated, I've been in an extremely unlucky state, with disaster constantly chasing me, running from Backlund to Tingen and then from Tingen to the sea.
The most that could be related to luck were some minor things, but compared to the disasters he encountered, they were utterly insignificant.
"Brando, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Luo En, who had collapsed into the chair, looking dazed, Danitz grew anxious.
He looked at Roy King nearby, his face full of worry, "Damn it, is there something wrong with your Beyonder potion?!"
Roy King, nearby, was also a little surprised; Luo En's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"It shouldn't be…" he muttered to himself.
After discovering Luo En's situation, he had written to report to his teacher, who apparently reported to a higher authority.
Ultimately, he received the command to befriend the other party but not to recruit him.
Giving Luo En the Beyonder potion at cost was also based on this.
In his understanding, Luo En belonged to those favored by destiny; a normal consumption of the Beyonder potion shouldn't have such a reaction.
'Could he have lost control? Impossible, there are no signs of losing control in his spirituality.'
"No, I'm fine."
Luo En suddenly came to his senses, indicating he was not in danger, which slightly eased the worries of the two men.
He straightened up again, trying to enter a meditative state.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead; the sensation of Beyonder potion digestion had not stopped.
After converging his spirituality and gradually calming the turmoil within his body, he was surprised to discover.
The "Lucky One" Beyonder potion had been completely digested.
He looked up at the two people who were constantly observing his condition, suddenly feeling a sense of unreality.
This… the Beyonder potion is digested already?
Isn't that a bit too hasty?
And through the Beyonder potion knowledge that surged into his mind, Luo En was surprised to discover.
The "Lucky One" doesn't seem to have any practical Beyonder abilities.
