Chapter 21: Low-Profile Enhancement Potion

"I was wondering why you dressed so beautifully today; so that's what it was about!"

Su Xia watched Qin Tian walk away and teased with interest.

"Mom..."

Xia Nuannuan blushed deeply.

"Alright, alright, you really thought your mom couldn't guess? I knew it a long time ago. Let's go, let's go back."

Su Xia rolled her eyes with a smile and walked away.

"Ah? You, you knew?"

Xia Nuannuan hurriedly followed.

"Otherwise? You've been acting strange these past two days. Who am I? Your old mom, how could I not tell?"

"I haven't been acting strange; he's my classmate."

"Hehe, you guess if I believe you?"

"Mom!!!"

Xia Nuannuan blushed, grabbed her arm, and shook it coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, stop shaking."

Su Xia glanced at her daughter sideways and said with a smile: "Your mom is also someone who has been through it. At your age, it's normal to have a boy you like. Don't worry, I don't object."

"Mom, I'll carry it for you."

Xia Nuannuan's eyebrows curved, and she hurriedly took the shopping bag from her mother's hand.

"This Little Qin looks pretty good at first glance. How are his studies?"

"Mom, Qin Tian's grades are very good. He's been helping me with my studies recently, and it's easier to understand than when the teacher explains it."

"Stop it! Don't praise him to the heavens. Easier to understand than the teacher?"

"Really, I'm telling the truth, I swear."

"Then was he the top student in your class in the last mock exam?"

"This..."

Xia Nuannuan was speechless.

In the last mock exam, Qin Tian seemed to be second to last in the class, almost dead last.

"See, I knew it. You have to tell the truth so I can understand him. Your mom isn't someone who cares that much about grades; I was just asking."

"Mom, Qin Tian's grades are really good. It seems like he was doing it on purpose when he failed before."

Xia Nuannuan explained seriously.

"On purpose?"

Su Xia was stunned when she heard this.

She wasn't afraid of top students getting good grades; she was afraid of top students who could control their scores.

Could that kid be a master of controlling scores?

"Yes, I'm really not lying to you."

Xia Nuannuan nodded solemnly.

Seeing that her daughter didn't seem to be exaggerating, Su Xia became even more curious about Qin Tian.

"By the way, your school's second mock exam should be starting soon, right?"

"Mm, they said early April before, so it should be next week."

"Then you tell Qin Tian to do well this time. When the mock exam results come out, tell me how he did."

"Ah?"

Xia Nuannuan looked troubled, frowned, and said: "Mom, is that necessary? Didn't you say you didn't care about scores?"

In fact, she didn't want anyone else to know that Qin Tian's grades were good.

It was like a little secret between her and Qin Tian.

And Qin Tian was already excellent. If his identity as a top student was exposed, there would definitely be many girls in school who would fall for him.

She trusted Qin Tian, but even so, she would feel uncomfortable if someone else was thinking about him.

"Are you stupid!"

Su Xia gave her another look: "I don't care, but what about your dad?"

"Uh..."

Xia Nuannuan froze instantly and said urgently: "Mom, please don't tell Dad about Qin Tian for now!"

She knew her dad's character best.

If he found out about this, it would really be troublesome.

"Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side."

Su Xia smiled.

"Mom, you're really great, mwah!"

Xia Nuannuan pouted and blew a cute flying kiss.

Su Xia was amused and changed the subject: "However, even if we hide it from him, we have to be prepared, right? In case your dad finds out, wouldn't it be more convincing if Qin Tian's exam results were better?"

Xia Nuannuan fell silent, feeling that her mother was simply too far-sighted.

She was only at the foot of the mountain, while her mother was already at the summit.

"Mom, you make sense. Then... after I go back to school, I'll talk to Qin Tian."

"That's right. He has to perform better to be worthy of my precious daughter!"

"Mom, we're just classmates."

Xia Nuannuan's pretty face turned red again, and she argued shyly.

"Giggle... I understand, Mom understands, just classmates."

"Ah, I'm not talking to you anymore, hurry up, hurry up, I'm hungry."

…………………………………………………………

On the way home, when passing by the vegetable market, Qin Tian went in to buy some vegetables.

Before, when he told his future mother-in-law that his mother was already cooking at home, it was just an excuse.

Tang Xiuxia worked very hard at the factory and usually didn't get off work until after six; if she worked overtime, it would be even later.

Therefore, Qin Tian usually ate lunch and dinner at school.

Occasionally on holidays, he would also eat at school before going to evening self-study.

Today, he planned to cook a few good dishes himself to fill his stomach and leave some for his mother.

On the system interface's skill column, his cooking skill was also at level 2.

Having lived alone for so many years in his past life, he was quite good at making home-cooked dishes.

After carrying the ingredients he bought home, he immediately entered the kitchen to start washing and processing them.

At the same time, he opened the system page.

The countdown at the top still had more than nine days, so he didn't need to worry about it for now.

And now that he had several thousand yuan in hand, when he really didn't have time, he could redeem some points to extend his life.

【Points: 771】

With a thought, various items in the Treasure Pavilion appeared before his eyes.

While washing the fresh prawns he bought at the market, Qin Tian considered what to redeem.

In terms of knowledge, he was already an all-rounder in all high school subjects, so he didn't need it for now, and his combat power was enough.

It was some talent skills that made him quite envious.

In his past life, his family conditions, study and life pressure, etc., meant he hadn't learned these things.

"System, can this physical enhancement potion be used by others?"

Qin Tian suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked the system.

【Theoretically, it is possible, but the system does not recommend the host to do so. Everyone's tolerance is different, and there will be certain risks.】

"Then what if I dilute this potion?"

Qin Tian continued to ask.

The system fell silent, as if it had been shocked by his brain hole.

"It seems I can give it a try!"

Qin Tian's eyes lit up.

He was the type of person who dared to do what he thought of.

Seeing that the system didn't veto it, he immediately tried it boldly.

Qin Tian found the juicer at home, took cucumbers, tomatoes, bananas, apples, and other fruits and vegetables from the refrigerator, washed and cut them into pieces, and then juiced a large cup of fruit and vegetable juice.

Immediately after, he redeemed a bottle of physical enhancement potion with 199 points and poured the potion into it to stir and fuse again.

Finally, what appeared before his eyes was a dark red mixed liquid.

He took a bowl, poured half a bowl, and stared at the liquid in the bowl, feeling conflicted.

"I've already taken the full-strength potion, this shouldn't be more dangerous than that, phew... bottoms up!"

After Qin Tian muttered to himself, he tilted his head and drank the liquid in the bowl in one gulp.

He smacked his lips; the taste was much better than before.

And after waiting for a long time, there was no intense pain like before.

He opened the system page and looked at his basic attributes.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that both strength and physique had increased by one point.

It might be because he had taken the full version before, plus the dilution with fruit and vegetable juice, the effect was greatly weakened.

But this was just right; it was perfect for Xia Nuannuan to improve her physique. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
