Chapter 10 Monster

8:10 p.m.

Anton returns to his family home in the central area of ​​the city.

This is a three-story building with a garden where carriages can be stopped. It is located at the outermost part of the city's central area and is adjacent to the residences of some other traders and nobles. Among these neighbors, the most prominent one is probably a baron.

Of course, the nobles didn't have to work, they lived comfortably on land, heritage and annuity.

Anton's father was rewarded with great rewards in years of overseas trade to afford such a house.

If the Anton family wants to go further, they must marry the nobles, and the wealth they have is not enough to be seen by those nobles, even the down-and-out nobles.

Therefore, an extraordinary person is the biggest bargaining chip that Anton can have.

But Anton disappointed his father.

The dinner was hearty, with veal, bread, fish steak, tomato soup and brandy.

The wine on the dining table was beer before, but in order to imitate the life of the upper class, Anton's father replaced beer with brandy that was three times the price.

Under the father's gaze, Anton lowered his head and ate dinner.

"I heard that the adult was very satisfied with the work of the workshop owner and was ready to hand over more work to her." The father spoke.

"That's great, my father's investment can also get more returns." Anton said immediately.

"Shut up!" The father was furious, "I invested 1,500 pounds into the workshop, and only owned three percent of the shares. What else do I have to talk about? The biggest return I want to get is that you must become an extraordinary person!"

Indeed, although a potion workshop is worth a lot of money, it is definitely not worth 50,000 pounds. The investment of the Anton family has given such a big discount because the workshop owner promised to vigorously cultivate Anton and make Anton an extraordinary person.

In fact, the workshop owner did a good job.

It's just that Anton is not good at it.

"The super-level potion does not work for you, so you must try the super-level potion." said the father, "I have made up my mind to buy her the second-level potion in the 'Scholar' sequence."

"...Is that too expensive?" Anton murmured, "and if I eat the second-level potion directly, I will lose the opportunity to be promoted to the 'Legend' forever..."

Even at the internal price, the second-level potion will be extremely expensive, and that number is directly ten times larger than the first-level potion.

At the same time, the starting point is the second level, just like building a tower in the air. The extraordinary will never be able to advance to the next extraordinary stage, that is, the "Legendary" level.

"Are you worried that it's too dangerous?" said my father. "It's really dangerous to take the second level directly, but your current situation is no different from that of a monster. If you don't get promoted to extraordinary things, you might as well die."

His father's cold words made Anton stunned.

...

In the bathroom.

Anton looked at his body.

It's true that it's no different from a monster.

The veins and blood vessels are exposed, enlarged and thickened in some places, while others are dry and sunken, and there are almost bones visible. The whole thing looks like a shoddy human monster.

When he was wearing a suit, he needed to tighten the blood vessels and muscles with cloth strips, and then fill the sunken part with cotton to make him look like a normal person.

This is the consequence of humans' failure to promote the promotion by taking potions. First-order potions act on their body in an abnormal way. If they want to correct them, they must use second-order potions.

"Ahhhh!"

Anton looked at himself, let out a desperate howl and punched the wall. The red brick burst and a terrible gap appeared.

...

His father heard Anton's scream downstairs, and he immediately ordered his servants to let Anton's voice be quiet. The family's reputation cannot be destroyed and his prominent neighbors cannot know that Anton is a monster.

The existence of extraordinary power is still a secret for ordinary people.

Because Anton's father was engaged in foreign trade in medicinal materials, he had a lot of contact with the military. After accidentally learning this secret, he immediately regarded it as the hope for the family's rise.

As long as there is an extraordinary person in the family, you can immediately embark on the road of excellence. Anton's father saw those lords and great nobles flocked to the extraordinary persons.

So far, Anton's father's investment in Potion Workshop and Anton has exceeded 2,000 pounds, which is equivalent to the four-year profit of the family's foreign trade business.

Anton must be promoted to extraordinary, otherwise he might as well die.

...

On Earth.

Truman wrote about important things today in his notepad:

"First of all, the kind of encouraging agents have the effect of encouraging spirits on increasing the 'share'. The effect is very obvious. My previous daily share limit was 3 spiritual texts, but now it has increased to 5, or a 4-word 'continuous word'..."

"The same effect is also reported on the earth. The upper limit of 'share' has been increased, but the recovery time has not changed. This proves that the recovery speed of 'share' is also increasing..."

"I just took medicine for about a week and felt more energetic~"

"The owner of the workshop said that drinking potions to promote extraordinary will greatly increase the upper limit of 'share'. Perhaps... the medicine made by Earth Biotechnology is also a potion?"

"So can the effect of the potion that can improve physical strength be solidified? It's worth trying."

"Second, I still have to save money. I'm about to save enough 20 pounds. Anton wanted to make things difficult for me, but he plump my wallet. This guy is probably going to be so angry."

"Third, about Anton..."

Anton drank first-level potion, which was reasonable, but Lilis inferred from the work tasks of the workshop every day. Truman thought this girl had something to do...

Lilis must have drunk the potion because she pays attention to the work assignments of the workshop every day. She said that the spiritual texts translated in the workshop are usually ‘relevant’ at a certain period of time.

Lilis said at the time that those work with "relevance" must be creating potions for a customer.

But six months ago, suddenly, in a "relevant" job, several obviously unrelated spiritual texts were inserted, and then Anton disappeared for a while.

When Anton came back, he was obviously different, with a worse temper, a more irritable personality, and a change in body shape. Therefore, Lilis deduced that Anton might not only drink potions, but also failed.

"The failure of the potion does not mean that it is completely invalid. I think Anton now has very terrible power, so you must be careful." Lilis finally told Truman that she once saw Anton breaking a stone with her fingers.

Truman thought of the time when he was dragged down by Anton in front of the workshop owner. At that time, he thought it was too empty. Now he felt that Anton's power was indeed a bit terrifying.

Now, when Truman recalled it, he wrote in his notepad:

"Third, in recent times, before the extraordinary promotion, respect Andong and stay away from him."
