Chapter 309: A Bit Awkward and a Bit Hurtful

Seeing that Lan Qingyou agreed to Shang Chuan's request, Diana also popped up to ask for a slot.

"Uh... you have an assistant?"

Lan Qingyou paused in surprise.

"Heh, not only was I drafted by a certain delinquent Clan Head, but she also dumps everything on me. If I didn't find an assistant to share the burden, even an evolved Witch wouldn't be able to handle it."

As she spoke, Diana rubbed her shoulders with great exaggeration.

Lan Qingyou fell silent watching her.

Diana's words were a little hurtful.

'Surely that delinquent Clan Head you are talking about isn't me, right? It couldn't be.'

Shang Chuan chuckled as he watched their interaction. Then, ignoring their banter, he took an iron whistle from his pocket and blew it.

Then, Lan Qingyou saw a beautiful woman emerge from his shadow.

Short hair, a leather jacket, leather pants, and high-top boots.

She looked incredibly cool and fierce.

At first glance, she looked like the kind of wild girl who would ride a motorcycle through the neon-lit streets of the night.

"And this is..."

"Eluel, the owner of the gun you blew up earlier while making ammunition."

'Eluel? The blown-up gun?'

'Ah... now that he mentions it, back when I first became a Transmigrator, I did destroy a gun to maintain my aerial advantage and ensure my safety.'

'I never expected it to belong to this heroic and mature older sister standing before me.'

'Does this count as running into my creditor?'

Recalling the incident, Lan Qingyou's face flushed red.

'Shang Chuan isn't a good person either. His words are a bit hurtful too...'

Having suffered "damage" twice in just five minutes, Lan Qingyou sighed inwardly and looked at Diana.

"Where is your assistant?"

"She should be here very... ah, she's here."

Just as Diana was about to answer, Lan Qingyou saw a short-haired mature woman walk through the door hugging a stack of documents.

Although she was also a mature beauty, her features were much softer compared to Eluel. Her short light green hair accentuated this gentleness even further.

"This is Aina Harin. Her hair color is due to her talent."

Diana noted from the side.

"Alright, since both of you happen to be here, I will distribute them. I assume Eluel used to have a class similar to a warrior?"

Lan Qingyou rolled her eyes at Diana, then clapped her hands and spoke to Eluel.

"Yes, just as you said."

Eluel nodded.

Although she did not specify what her exact profession was, there was no need to be too meticulous about certain things.

All jokes aside, bringing a gun during transmigration meant that even if she wasn't a soldier or police officer, she had to be a mercenary or assassin.

Either way, it definitely was not a common profession.

"Since I guessed correctly, then you should use this Witch's Potion. The traits of this Witch's Potion are Agility and Spirit. Aina, you use this one. This bottle leans towards vitality and Spirit."

"The advantage of these two new potions is that they have dual attribute inclinations. The disadvantage is that you definitely won't be as proficient in magic as those who take a Witch's Potion solely focused on Spirit."

"In fact, it is highly likely that learning magic arrays, Alchemy, and Potioneering will be much more difficult for you compared to Witches with pure Spirit."

"Therefore..."

"Although these Potions can evolve you into Witches, no one can say for sure what specific changes will occur. Do you still want to use them?"

To be honest, even as the creator herself, and even with her Analysis Magic Eye, Lan Qingyou was not entirely confident about Potions that only had differences in attributes.

Otherwise, given her temperament, she would have confidently handed the drinks to them without hesitation.

Ask them?

Asking a single extra question would be an insult to her Title as the "Number One Transmigrator in Alchemy".

"Agility plus Spirit? I actually think it suits me perfectly."

Compared to the caution of a researcher like Lan Qingyou, Eluel was not nearly as particular. She immediately took the Witch's Potion.

Besides, this was the Witch's Potion she had been yearning for.

One must know, she had waited a very long time for this Potion.

It had reached the point where she didn't even bat an eye when Shang Chuan acquired a Forest Elf Evolution Item from Gu Xiaobei.

Shang Chuan had been curious at the time and asked her why.

The answer he ultimately received was that her mother had once been called a witch. Although it was just a nickname, she still held a deep affection for the Witch race.

On top of that, a racial talent like the Magic Eye synergized perfectly with her own inherent talent. Therefore, no matter what kind of Magic Eye she unlocked, it would be a major upgrade for her.

Meanwhile, Aina—the assistant originally selected by Diana—never expected to become a guinea pig for a new Potion.

Moreover, this new Potion was none other than the Witch's Potion.

However, it sounded a bit different from the ones that had been previously distributed in the world channel.

Naturally, she did not want to miss out on such a fantastic opportunity.

But of course, she absolutely refused to let such a perfect chance slip through her fingers.

Thus, after receiving her Potion, she exchanged a glance with Eluel, and the two of them downed their respective concoctions.

Immediately after, Lan Qingyou checked their Magic Eyes.

For Witches, the Magic Eye was the most telling indicator. Furthermore, the naming conventions for Magic Eyes were usually very straightforward, so a single glance was enough to understand the general effects of the two Potions.

'Interesting.'

After taking a quick peek, that single word popped into Lan Qingyou's mind.

Eluel's Magic Eye was called the "Ammunition Magic Eye".

And Aina's Magic Eye was called the "Green Dumpling Magic Eye".

Lan Qingyou could grasp the gist just from their names alone, let alone the system prompts beside them.

"How do you feel?"

Lan Qingyou asked.

Eluel did not say a word. She simply took out her Identity Card and retrieved a sniper rifle from it.

'Good lord!'

'The weapon I broke back then was just a small handgun. Now that I think about it, that was probably just her backup!'

'So while I was keeping my guard up, you guys were doing the exact same thing.'

'Well... that is just great!'

"Mine is the Ammunition Magic Eye. To put it simply, it allows me to manufacture any ammunition I desire."

As she spoke, Eluel opened her hand. Under everyone's watchful eyes, a bullet gradually materialized in her palm.

Lan Qingyou had no idea what caliber it was, but she knew it had to pack quite a punch.

Because the bullet she had just manifested was a high-explosive round.

It looked exactly like the batch of experimental ammunition she had previously crafted for Shang Chuan.

'Huh!'

'Does this mean that my actions back then left a massive psychological shadow on Eluel's heart?'

'Otherwise, why would a Magic Eye—which I consider a "reflection of the heart's true desire"—manifest as bullets? And it looks like it didn't even consume much Magic Power either.'

'Wait, no. Now is not the time to be thinking about this.'

'Logically speaking, Magic Eyes should rely on the eyes as a "platform" to cast magic. But in reality, Eluel didn't seem to be using her eyes at all when she activated her Magic Eye talent.'
