How did this end up being about me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she scrolled back to see what had happened, and discovered it had all stemmed from Xin Tianle's rallying cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, people had been echoing Xin Tianle's call for everyone to help each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then someone started steering the conversation — and gradually aimed the narrative squarely at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The way I see it, Lan Qingyou has more materials and supplies than anyone in our district. Her potions rake in crazy profits — each one is worth dozens of base units. She sells a few hundred a day, and that's more than enough for the rest of us to get by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did the math. Her daily output is at least 200 potions. Even if you only count the +30 mana potions, that's a conservative 6,000 base units. And that's not including the +50 mana potions or the +30 healing potions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I had no idea until you did the numbers. She really is making a killing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! Lan Qingyou has that much material?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Times like these, everyone should be helping each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, throw us a bone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, it's just pocket change for you — one day of potion sales would make it all back. Don't be stingy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, take uncle's advice. You have to take a loss to make friends. Besides, everyone's going to keep buying from you, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, you've made a fortune by now. Don't you think it's time to give back a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"@Lan Qingyou, you wouldn't just stand by and watch people die, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so a mob of people began @-ing Lan Qingyou, pressuring her to offer charity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou let out a cold laugh, blocked the instigators, and went upstairs to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If you're going to try moral blackmail on me, you've picked the wrong person.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'\"Patronize your business in the future\"? As if any of you would stop buying just because I said no.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One word summed it up: pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for \"standing by while people die\"... this was Villain Valley. Eight out of ten people were ex-criminals. The world would be a quieter place without a few of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once upstairs, she collected herself and settled in for some serious reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, she drifted off without realizing it, and didn't wake until past ten the next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't believe I slept so soundly with all that thunder outside. Was it... like a lullaby?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting up, Lan Qingyou peeked outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Same as always — brilliant sunshine. Last night's mana turbulence had vanished as completely as a summer thunderstorm, as if it had never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, that was probably for the best. At least daytime life wouldn't be affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou floated up from the mattress, then carried her air-conditioning quilt out onto the terrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She draped it over the railing, glanced around, and found that nothing seemed to have changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she relax enough to take a hot shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After topping off the water tank with a bucket, she decided to head to the creek and fill everything up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the novice period had passed — just barely — it was a critical time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything at home wasn't topped off, Lan Qingyou would feel a knot in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was about to start brewing, and that would eat up eight hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody could predict what changes those eight hours might bring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Lan Qingyou drifted toward the creek, the moment she passed a modestly-sized rock, her entire body suddenly plummeted out of control toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below her was grass, but scattered with gravel — the impact hit Lan Qingyou hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bucket in her hand clattered and rolled several times before finally coming to rest at the creek's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, since she'd been nearing the creek, she'd been flying low — only about two meters up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, a stone had sliced her forehead open, and blood was flowing freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lan Qingyou didn't scramble to her feet. She didn't press her hand to the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she simply lay there, face down, breathing in the mingled scent of soil and wild grass. Her eyes were wide — filled with shock, fear, terror, and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second, she hadn't been able to feel her mana at all. That was what had sent her crashing from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What happened? Did my talent disappear?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mind churned with confusion. She wanted to reach for the mana inside her, but she was terrified of confirming that it was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't want to go back to that life — lying in bed, unable to do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she caught sight of the Moonbright Stone Dagger, which had fallen from her belt during the crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out and gripped its handle. Tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Do it. Try to channel mana.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If it's really gone, then just die right here and be done with it.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Not getting revenge first would be a shame, but... now probably isn't the time for that kind of thinking?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait!!!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't just give up and die like this.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even if I can never walk again, I still have the magical knowledge of this other world.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after taking a deep breath and steeling herself, Lan Qingyou reached inward for her mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still there!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she got her answer, Lan Qingyou's eyes lit up. She cast Light Body, and slowly, unsteadily, floated off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, maintaining control was now incredibly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though the mana in her body was surging in every direction, slippery and hard to grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Mana turbulence!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All at once, Lan Qingyou understood what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mana hadn't vanished. Her talent hadn't malfunctioned. It was last night's mana turbulence — the phenomenon was the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had disrupted the flow of mana inside her body, causing the situation moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a guess, but the probability was high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so that's what it was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou slid the dagger back into her belt, wobbled her way over to the bucket, and painstakingly filled it with creek water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant she lifted the full bucket, Lan Qingyou slammed it into a nearby rock with all her might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With 32 Strength, her full-force blow shattered the bucket into pieces against the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood covering her face, Lan Qingyou hurled the splintered remains of the bucket with a ferocious snarl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Disgraceful!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How humiliating!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just remembering the terror she'd felt moments ago — the thought of ending it all — made her angrier and angrier. She instantly went red-hot, completely snapped, and took it all out on an innocent wooden bucket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It was just my mana flickering! Just my talent going offline for a second! And I panicked that badly?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, this was destined to become one of those rare memories that made her cringe every time they surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Thank god no one was around to witness it. If anyone had seen that, it would've been worse than death.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huang Wei! I'm going to make sure you don't get to die quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping the mud and blood from her face with a creek-dampened hand, Lan Qingyou's dirty, battered face twisted into something fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>",1234,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.676Z",1,"novelbin.me","cb084f6c3e15ba8e4207d38bb7736ec419f2d158eec3a8b6f877cc6727abd2ed","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-34","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-32",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
