The power of the "Lucky One" is just like its potion name; it makes the Beyonder exceptionally lucky, such as picking up money when going out, dice rolls matching expectations, or a girl he likes happening to like him back.
However, this luck is passive and uncontrollable.
Sometimes it's incredibly potent, sometimes it's like an ordinary person's.
It's another uncontrollable ability that relies on luck. What's the use of this ability? Luo En felt a bit speechless as he processed the knowledge the potion brought.
An ability that cannot be fully controlled by oneself isn't an ability at all; at most, it's a buff, and it might even affect judgment at critical moments, turning into a debuff.
Couldn't it be a more substantial ability, even something as cliché as a light ball or a shockwave? Thinking of this, Luo En even felt a little envious of Danitz's fireballs.
Also, how was this digested so inexplicably fast? Is there really something wrong with this Pathway?
"That Brando... are you alright...?" Danitz asked, seeing the silent Luo En with concern.
Luo En's expression was grave, and he didn't speak.
To be honest, he was in a very good state now, exceptionally good. He felt an indescribable sense of comfort throughout his body, and he knew this was the feeling of the potion being completely digested.
But this was also the reason for his grave expression; such counter-intuitive phenomena were often the most unsettling.
Roy King also pushed up his glasses: "How is it? Is there a problem?"
"I..."
Luo En didn't know how to answer; he hesitated with his words.
"That..."
"How should I put it...? Can you also sell me the Sequence Six potion formula?"
"Ah?"
Somehow, the moment he heard Luo En's words, Roy King suddenly stood up and took a few steps back. He felt an inexplicable fear.
It was as if... as if he had been targeted by something.
...
A few minutes later.
"You mean you feel that most of the potion you just drank has been digested?" Roy King's voice was a little strained.
"Mm."
Luo En nodded. He didn't dare to say directly that he had already completed digestion, fearing he would scare the other party.
"Really?" Danitz, who was beside them, was also a bit surprised.
Roy King fell into contemplation.
"This... perhaps it's related to your previous experiences. You... do you know about acting?"
"Mm."
"This phenomenon is called 'advanced acting'. It might be that you once had an extremely lucky experience, acting out this process in advance."
"In other words..."
"You are indeed a qualified Lucky One." A complex look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Luo En.
...
Finally, regarding the sale of the Sequence Six potion formula, Roy King neither agreed nor refused, only stating that it could be discussed later.
Luo En understood the hint to leave and didn't linger. After thanking him, he left with Danitz.
The setting sun stretched their shadows long. Danitz suddenly said, "That guy seems a bit afraid of you."
"I feel like that guy is a bit afraid of you."
"Perhaps it's just an illusion..."
...
"Lachi."
After walking a bit further, Luo En called out to the surroundings.
"Meow!"
An orange figure leaped down from the wall, landing deftly on Luo En's shoulder.
"So the cat was here. I was wondering why I didn't see it just now," Danitz said, enlightened by the sight.
"Of course. It's insurance." Luo En extended his arms and took Lachi.
"Although Roy King doesn't seem like a bad person, some necessary precautions are still needed."
As he spoke, Luo En took a small, metallic-looking thin piece from Lachi's neck.
"Is this a charm?" Danitz asked.
"Mm." Luo En nodded, "It's a short-range communication charm, made by the Captain."
"I greeted the Captain when we left..."
"If we stayed too long at Roy King's place, Lachi would activate the charm and notify the Captain."
"Is this cat that smart?" Danitz asked, puzzled.
"Meow!"
Lachi seemed to understand that sentence and let out a dissatisfied meow.
Luo En stroked her head.
"Of course, she's the smartest cat in the world."
Looking at the sinking sunset, Luo En turned to Danitz:
"You're going to meet up with the Captain and them, right?"
...
"Oh, right, should we gamble again?" He suddenly thought of something and smiled again.
"Gamble what?" Danitz was caught off guard by the sudden change in topic.
"A coin toss, just like when you first recruited me."
"You're still holding a grudge about that day," Danitz grumbled, then suddenly realized something.
"Wait! Your current Sequence name is 'Lucky One'. How could I possibly win against you? You're using me as a test subject."
"Oh, don't say that. This time, let's bet one pound, how about it?" Luo En put away the playful tone he had used with Danitz before and said seriously.
"This... fine."
Perhaps it was because their parting was imminent, Danitz didn't refuse.
"Which side do you guess?" Luo En pulled out a coin.
"Heads."
"Then I'll be tails." Luo En tossed the coin.
The coin flipped a few times in the air, finally landing on the ground with heads facing up.
"Haha, I won, I won against you!" Seeing the heads side up, Danitz was a bit excited.
This was the first time he had won against Luo En in a gamble.
"It seems 'Lucky One' isn't that lucky after all."
"Indeed~" Luo En said thoughtfully, taking a one-pound banknote from his pocket and handing it to him.
"Until we meet again, Danitz."
"Until we meet again, Brando."
...
After parting with Danitz, Luo En found a small inn to stay in.
"Now the most crucial thing is the potion formula. I'll visit Roy King again in a few days to see..."
He looked up at the scenery outside the window.
It wasn't too late yet.
Earlier, he had received a lot of information about Beyonder gatherings in Bayam from Danitz.
He chose the one closest to him, planning to try his luck and see if he could find anything good.
Of course, if he could sell the potion formula he had, that would be even better.
Luo En followed the address from the information and arrived at a bar. After exchanging the secret code with the bartender, he ordered a beer and waited for the gathering to begin while drinking.
Just then, someone came up to Luo En and cleared his throat.
"Cough, cough..."
"It's you." Luo En turned his head and saw a mess of blue hair like seaweed.
It was the card player who had played cards with him and Danitz before.
Later, he had also bought the "Rosell's Romantic History" that Luo En had compiled.
Apparently, the other party had recognized his identity at that time too.
"Here for the gathering?" Alger came to Luo En's side and also ordered a beer.
Luo En didn't speak, which was taken as an affirmation.
"Do you still have Emperor Rosell's notes?"
Luo En raised his eyebrows... Business was coming his way; he was indeed quite lucky.
"Why, are you interested?"
