Accept the delivery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Done. I'll come to you if I need any additional tools.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan: \"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan worked fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over half an hour, he'd delivered the \"Mineralogy\" textbook and a measuring tool — a pair of calipers — to Lan Qingyou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alongside those came a bullet sample and an assortment of minerals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Copper ore, iron ore, saltpeter, sulfur, and even charcoal — clearly meant for gunpowder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, Lan Qingyou scooped up the mineralogy book and Steel Wire Ball, headed to her room, and went to bed with her reading material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please — it was way too late for experiments. Better to hit the books first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, even though this world also had copper and iron ore, they were fundamentally different from their Blue Star counterparts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To state the obvious: minerals back on Blue Star didn't come with a built-in \"mana\" attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, after finishing the breakfast Gu Xiaobei had delivered, Lan Qingyou set Steel Wire Ball loose to play and dove into the day's work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Chuan's side seemed desperate for ammunition, but Lan Qingyou paced herself calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd only gotten the books yesterday, after all. The knowledge inside hadn't even been fully absorbed and distilled yet — how could she possibly jump straight to the experimental phase?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the day, this bullet project was a mutually beneficial collaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side urgently needed bullets; the other urgently needed knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect match — and just like that, Shang Chuan had instantly become the investor bankrolling Lan Qingyou's research lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she succeeded, great. If not? For Shang Chuan, it was simply an investment that didn't pan out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A professional merchant should know full well what investing in a laboratory entails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lan Qingyou had no intention of slacking off. Brewing potions with one hand while reading textbooks with the other — all of it was in service of making those bullets a reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crafting ammunition was, in its own right, a fresh challenge in the field of alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing had worked out beautifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd scored sulfur for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the Explosion Potion and the Flame Potion required the stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she also needed E-rank fire-attribute monster crystal cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which was why Lan Qingyou currently had a face mask strapped on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on — she was about to toss sulfur into the crucible and cook it. That was bound to produce toxic fumes, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't entirely sure it would, but she wore the mask anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kids, definitely do not try this at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eight solid hours of work, all three types of potions were finally ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crude Explosion Potion (E-)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Effect: Creates an explosion in a 3x3 area, dealing 30 HP of instant damage and inflicting 1 HP of burn damage per second for 10 seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Description: A potion with lackluster blast radius and power. You wouldn't even use it for dynamite fishing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crude Flame Potion (E-)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Effect: Creates a burning area of 3x3, dealing 2 HP of damage per second for 30 seconds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Description: A potion with lackluster burn radius and power. Maybe you could use it to warm yourself up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apprentice Fire Resistance Potion (E)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Effect: Increases fire resistance by 10 points for 10 minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Description: A standard apprentice-level potion that provides a measure of fire resistance. But remember — it isn't a cure-all. Learn to know your limits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After portioning them out, Lan Qingyou quickly appraised all three potions through her glasses, then decided to head out and test them while there was still daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but conveniently, there was a monster spawn point right nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better yet, it was a swamp spawn point that barely anyone bothered visiting, making this experiment session a breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, it was already past five in the afternoon — zero chance of anyone seeing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results, however, were underwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explosive as it was, the 3x3 blast radius didn't exactly do much to the Slimes wallowing in the swamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, fire-based potions and explosion potions probably just shouldn't be used in this kind of terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the \"Monsterology\" textbook stated that monsters had elemental affinities, and exploiting weaknesses was the key to maximizing damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was damage really what Lan Qingyou was after?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she wanted was the sheer thrill of being a \"bomber.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of her wrist, over a dozen Explosion Potions sailed down from the sky in a neat line, detonating across the swamp in a chain of thunderous blasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectacle reminded Lan Qingyou of a certain island nation whose historical \"fireworks display\" had been particularly... memorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Combat! So satisfying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the Slimes' infuriating self-repair ability, Lan Qingyou hadn't managed to achieve any tangible results with her bombing run. But spiritually? She was on cloud nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she hadn't been limited to just two hundred potions, she might very well have kept at it until nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning from the swamp, the only thing on her mind was a bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believe it or not, just flying around up there for a bit had actually made her break a sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she could say was that a happy mood did wonders for one's metabolism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squee-squee-squee—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lan Qingyou walked in, Steel Wire Ball charged at her with a barrage of squeaky protests — angry about being left behind yet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to understand the squeaking but getting the general gist, Lan Qingyou rolled her eyes at Steel Wire Ball, set the creature down on a towel, and went to take her bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she was done, she immediately sat down at the Magic Desk, placed Steel Wire Ball on her lap, and opened her friends list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"[Fire Resistance Potion] Want some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huai: \"Yes. Name your price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"20 potions = 1 Fire Elemental Essence. 2 potions = 1 jin of Flame Bellflower. 1 potion = 1 jin of sulfur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huai: \"How'd you know I have Fire Elemental Essences?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Lucky guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she'd obtained her own Water Elemental Essences, Lan Qingyou had been speculating that Li Huai — this guy camping out at a volcanic crater — likely had Fire Elemental Essences on hand. Ditto for the sulfur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She'd simply been testing her theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what do you know — she was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't mentioned the sulfur, which probably meant he had that too. For all she knew, even Shang Chuan's sulfur supply might have come from Li Huai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huai: \"1 Fire Elemental Essence for 100 potions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short pause spent deliberating, Li Huai sent his counter-offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou: \"Deal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a hundred potions per essence expensive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, not one bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou agreed without a moment's hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Huai could only grumble that he should've aimed higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the two hundred Fire Resistance Potions netted Lan Qingyou one Fire Elemental Essence, twenty-five jin of Flame Bellflower, and twenty-five jin of sulfur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flame Bellflower and sulfur wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, of course — those counted as an \"order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Elemental Essence (D)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Function: Can be used in alchemy, enchanting, and for lighting fires or heating. Effectively accelerates the growth of nearby fire-attribute plants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Description: The purest concentration of fire-element energy, born from the prolonged intertwining of fire-based mana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou admired the Fire Elemental Essence's description with a sigh of appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1250,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.676Z",1,"novelbin.me","4de0a478ab4540b413115a26e08832cd535de534ca0c12b2ca537f6049053468","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-47","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-45",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
