Chapter 250: Ding, Your Talent Level Has Upgraded

~7 min read 1,285 words

Poison Witch...

Hearing this title, the corners of Lan Qingyou's mouth could not help but twitch again.

There is a saying that there are wrong names but no wrong nicknames, and in Lan Qingyou's eyes, the other party did not have a World Title.

So it was basically certain that this title was what others called her.

'Poison, huh? That prefix is quite interesting.'

Lan Qingyou smiled faintly.

"What effect do bone-piercing fish eyes and slippery mushroom slime produce?"

"Vomiting, sweating, and in severe cases, fainting accompanied by dehydration."

"What about green hemp stalks mixed with magic frog blood?"

"Then..."

Faced with Lan Qingyou's sudden questions, Susi answered fluently without a single pause.

From this alone, she fully deserved her "Poison" moniker.

"Clan Head, are you done asking?"

After quite a while, when Lan Qingyou finally stopped talking and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, Susi calmly looked at her and asked.

"I am done, I am done. You are definitely the professional when it comes to this field of knowledge, haha."

Having never interacted with a fellow clan member before, Lan Qingyou thoroughly enjoyed herself this time and felt exceptionally satisfied.

She was especially delighted to discover that the other party's reservoir of knowledge on poisons far exceeded her own.

On one hand, she was happy that her fellow clan member was so erudite.

On the other hand, she was simply thrilled to be able to converse with more Witches.

Was not this exactly her original intention when she first distributed the Witch's Potion?

Researching together, discussing together, and growing together was the only way for everyone to go further.

"Since there are no more questions, would you like to head to my office to continue our chat?"

Susi gestured with her hand. Lan Qingyou looked over and realized that everyone in the room was staring at her.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Lan Qingyou could not handle that level of attention, so she hurriedly followed Susi out of the area and up to the president's office on the second floor.

"Hey, did you hear what Susi just called that Witch?"

"I heard it. I think she said Clan Head?"

"Clan Head? Of the Witch Clan? Then wasn't that black-robed Witch just now the Tower Witch!?"

"Do not even say it! Now that you mention it, that is highly possible!"

"Did I say anything that might have offended her just now?"

"Probably not, otherwise you would not be standing here talking to me right now."

At least on the Golden Plains, the word Witch was synonymous with "power."

The main reason was that four Witches had suddenly appeared here. Moreover, after rising to prominence, these Witches had blatantly used various methods to target the exact same group—the Royal Corporation.

This caused the Huang father and son—who had initially gathered a large following at the beginning of their transmigration by relying on their powerful talents and social skills—to suffer blow after blow, ultimately forcing them to announce the disbandment of the Royal Corporation. Only then did things quiet down a little.

To be honest, let alone the Huang father and son involved, even the gossiping bystanders still had no idea why these four Witches had targeted them in the first place.

"Oh, so that means the Huang father and son can only go out hunting and gathering basic resources every day now?"

Lan Qingyou said this after listening to Susi's report in the president's office.

"Yes, just as you heard. If we go knocking on their door now, we should be able to find them."

Susi nodded, confirming her statement once more.

Although she was not Lan Qingyou's direct subordinate and did not even belong to the same chain of command.

However, the only reason she had managed to become a Witch was because of the mission to "deal with the Huang family father and son." Otherwise, with her rigid personality, standing out from the Supreme Council's long list of Witch candidates would have been entirely impossible.

Therefore, after becoming a Witch and taking the role of the Witch squad leader on the Golden Plains, she had spared no effort in suppressing the Huang father and son.

Just do not kill them; wait for the main person involved to come seeking revenge.

These were Chu Yuan's exact words, which were also the exact words of the Tower Witch.

That was why, when Lan Qingyou arrived, Susi presented the Huang family's recent situation to her like an employee reporting to her boss.

"That is wonderful. I did not expect to find these two right away without wasting any effort."

Lan Qingyou, who initially thought it might take some time, was wreathed in smiles.

Like she had always said, time was precious to her.

"Shall we head over right now?"

"Let's go. We will head out immediately."

Not wanting to waste a single second, Lan Qingyou instantly accepted Susi's proposal.

In high spirits, she took out a bottle of orange-flavored talent Potion and took a swig as she flew outside.

[Ding, your talent level has upgraded.]

Oh ho!

It finally happened?

Lan Qingyou stared blankly at the empty bottle in her hand.

Compared to her previous upgrades, this one had been rather slow. She had downed almost a hundred bottles out of her batch of over a hundred Potions before the notification finally popped up.

"Clan Head?"

Susi, who had intended to lead the way, paused and looked back in confusion when she saw Lan Qingyou suddenly halt.

"Haha, apologies, apologies. My talent just accidentally leveled up."

Lan Qingyou smiled and waved the empty bottle in front of her.

"Are you saying this Potion is the talent Potion you developed earlier?"

Seeing the empty bottle, Susi raised an eyebrow as her eyes lit up.

What Witch would not want to brew this kind of Potion?

However, everyone suffered from a lack of the formula, so they could only fumble around and experiment on their own during their free time.

Now that the original version was right here, how could she pass up the chance to study it closely?

"How about... I give it to you?"

Seeing the eager look on Susi's face, practically drooling from the mouth, Lan Qingyou asked cautiously.

After all, since they first met, this person had maintained such a rigid, expressionless face that it was impossible to feel even a sliver of intimacy.

If Susi had not been the very first fellow clan member Lan Qingyou had ever encountered, she probably would not have bothered speaking to her at all.

But things were different now. Lan Qingyou could see the burning thirst of a researcher yearning for unknown knowledge in Susi's eyes, which prompted the thought of simply giving her the empty bottle.

"Really!"

Hearing that Lan Qingyou wanted to give it to her, Susi lunged forward in excitement, gripping Lan Qingyou's hands with both of hers as if terrified the Tower Witch might run away.

Although she looked to be around thirty, her skin was extremely well-maintained, smooth as that of a teenage girl.

This was Lan Qingyou's very first thought after Susi firmly grasped her hands.

However, considering they were all Witches, and discussing age with Witches was a completely unnecessary endeavor anyway, Lan Qingyou did not dwell on it any further.

"Yes, take it."

Although she appreciated the close affection, Lan Qingyou was still somewhat unaccustomed to it, so after loosening her grip, she directly handed the empty bottle to the other party.

At the same time, she pulled her hand out from Susi's grasp.

She gave it a light shake.

Although she no longer had any physical weight, having her delicate hands squeezed so tightly still hurt, alright!
