Master Of None Chapter 49
Advertisement
The party began lining up books next to each potion on the ground. There were many without matches which walker assumed meant they were toxic. However reading the related books would explain the potions effects.
Only about twenty were there, the first eight seemed like variations of healing potions. This was the earlier experiments which seems to be experimenting using herbs that focused on blood flow and skin development. The theories were very sound and could show developments in quality. Their colors started out red but slowly became a shade of purple telling them that some mana potion ingredients had been added to try to make a different potion.
There were two green potions after this, these were interesting since the books stayed that these were made using fast growing ingredients. These ingredients when mixed properly created a potion that boosted agility! These were very expensive potions and could really effect the tide of a battle. Walker immediately labeled them agility and stowed them away.
Four potions next were strange, they were a yellowish gold color with flecks of black in them. Remey and Gil were reading from a row books pertaining to them with confused faces. "I'm not sure any of this makes sense, these are not toxic at all from what the reading says, but the effects are worded weirdly." Gil was happy to know they weren't dangerous but the next few entries didn't hold any logic. "It's made from golden slime cores but can a slime really be gold colored?" Gil hadn't realized the was such a species of slime.
"It says this potion causes growth, what does that even mean!? It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying it makes someone grow for a set period of time, does that mean I'll get taller if I drink it?" Remey was not happy to see that she couldn't figure out the exact effects of drinking.

"Well you said it's not toxic sooo" walker grabbed one and removed the cork. He brought the vial to his lips and gulped down half the potion.
'Growth potion has been consumed by the user, for the next 12 hours exp earned will be doubled'
"...oh my holy lord...." walker saw this system notification and walker was stunned.
"What! What's it doing? Do you feel taller?" Remey was letting her curiosity get the best of her. However everyone else had also looked towards him as well.
"Growth means exp. it's doubled...for twelve hours" walkers words were almost a whisper as he didn't even know this kind of potion existed.
"wait you said double exp! I've heard only royalty has ever had such potions! But I thought it was a rumor spread out of jealousy." Su was the one to burst out. Everyone knew royalty had the ability to gain resources others could only dream of but now that the left knew this it was a whole other level.
"I think we need to go out on an extermination quest, we can take advantage of these potions and also help out someone with a monster infestation." Gil had already thought of a way to optimize their questing and growth.
"Perfect! So we can go out and beat up some pests and get stronger, my kind of quest." Remey was getting excited for this kind of potion.
"Before we get too ahead of ourselves, has anyone read about those seven black potions there?" Su was the one to break the mood knowing if they ignored it they might not get back to the task at hand.
They all looked and grabbed books, these related to some higher numbered experiments putting everyone on edge. From what walker could see these potions were mostly made from a special organ in an obsidian rhino. This was a notoriously tough monster to fight, it's skin was extremely thick and its temper very short. They would rarely leave the northern part of the country but every once in a while would stampede causing whole areas to become destroyed. It comparison to this a few herbs were used that bolstered energy, some of which were usually not used in potions at all but in teas.

"Rage potions" Gil said two words that did not sound good "the effects are heightened strength at the loss of mental capacity. After use the affected will fall in to a coma for at least a month"
"Well those are dangerous, I understand being stronger can save a situation but if you can't think properly what's to stop you from killing yourselves or your own party?" Walker really disliked these potions, he couldn't find any good reasons to use them. "As much as I think we should throw these potions out I actually think some adventurers would use these. And since they don't seem to be made in a cruel way I can justify selling them. But I refuse to consider using these."
"Agreed" Gil, Remey and Su responded immediately, they also didn't wish to ever use these potions but understood some adventurers fighting styles were more barbaric.
"I think we could ask Barry if he would use them to be honest, his nickname is berserker." Su had remembered the vice guild masters nickname well. This idea was good for someone with a solo fighting style in a pinch.
Walker nodded his head accepting this idea. They all knew Barry had many years of adventuring under his belt so he could make the proper decision in using or not using theses.
"I'm sure there are still some things to discover down here but I think we've found enough for now, we can check it out more tomorrow. Plus I know everyone's been waiting to check out the results of our exp for completing the quest." Walker had decided they'd waited long enough to see who leveled up from the crazy amount of exp they received.
They all went to look at their systems, smiles breaking out on their face, however from this last burst of exp it looked like midnight may have gained the most levels.
