Chapter 56: Ross: I Really Want To Test The Medicine, Really (4)

“These are the two bottles of blood potion you wanted.” The workshop manager handed the box to Zhou Jing and asked, “Are you going to strengthen yourself now? We can provide a room.”

“No need. I’ll go back and prepare.”

Zhou Jing shook his head in response.

He only needed to drink the blood potion. There was no other process, so there was not much difference between using it in private and using it here… If there was no problem, he naturally would not need any assistance, but if there was a problem, no amount of assistance would save him either.

He would go back and test the medicine on Ross. There was no need to let Barong know about this for the time being.

The person in charge of the workshop smiled and said, “Alright, then I look forward to seeing you again… Of course, it will be a you who has already become a Mutant Beast Hunter.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Jing nodded.

He looked down at the blood potion in the box, his heart pounding.

The “key” was already in his hands.

Next, he had to see if he could use this “key” to open the door to the supernatural world.

…

It was already afternoon by the time they finished changing the potions. The two of them left the workshop and found an inn in the city.

Barong paid for the room for three days and turned to look at Zhou Jing.

“Rest first. I’m going out to meet a few friends. You’d better wait for me to come back before using the medicine. That way, I can help you keep an eye on things so that no one will disturb you.”

“Alright, I need some time to think about it and adjust my state.”

Zhou Jing nodded and spoke as if it was a serious matter.

After watching Barong leave, Zhou Jing brought Ross back to his room. He rejected the special service that the inn maid hinted at and closed the door.

For a moment, only the two of them were left in the room.

After Zhou Jing confirmed that the doors and windows were all closed, he took out the Black-Handed Fox Potion and handed it to Ross.

“Brother, now is the time for you to contribute to the organization.”

Ross glanced at Zhou Jing before looking down at the potion in his hand. He did not move.

He did not object, so it meant that he agreed!

Zhou Jing pressed Ross’s shoulder hard and said in a solemn tone.

“Be good and drink it all.”

Ross nodded silently, pulled out the cork, raised his head, and drank the Black-Handed Fox Potion in one gulp.

Zhou Jing stared at the side, watching for his next reaction.

However, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Ross still stood rooted to the ground. Nothing happened.

Zhou Jing: (⊙_⊙)

Ross: (o _ O)

The two of them stared at each other. Ross’s eyes appeared quite innocent.

No reaction? Was the potion expired, or is his follower’s physique special?

Zhou Jing scratched his head.

Just as he was about to check to see if something was wrong…

Crack, crack, crack—

A series of crackling noises came from Ross’ bones.

Black blood vessels quickly bulged on his face, twisting like small snakes. His body twitched from time to time as if it was an unconscious reflex.

However, Ross remained expressionless as he stared at Zhou Jing.

If he didn’t know better, Zhou Jing would have thought that this was a cold-blooded killer who didn’t feel pain or emotions.

“Looks like the potion takes a certain amount of time to metabolize! The finale is coming!”

Zhou Jing immediately perked up.

He quickly carried the mentality of doing research and carefully observed the changes in Ross’s body.

In the past three months, he had grown rapidly, but Ross’ attributes did not increase at all. Just like at the beginning, he was completely at the level of an ordinary person.

The stronger one’s body was, the higher the success rate of using the blood potion. As for ordinary people, although there was a chance of success, the success rate was very slim.

However, with Ross’s aptitude, how long would it take for him to improve his attributes to an acceptable level?

Therefore, it would be a waste not to use a supernatural item like the Mutant Blood Potion!

Zhou Jing let Ross be the first to undergo the blood enhancement. Other than testing the medicine, he also wanted Ross to take a gamble.

In any case, every Astral Apostle had a chance to revive its followers for free. If Ross died because of this, he could also pull him back.

And if Ross succeeded, it would be very beneficial for Zhou Jing.

If his gamble paid off, he would gain a powerful follower. If he failed, the follower would just be as stupid as before.

If he didn’t gamble now, he would never have a chance again.

…

As time passed, the dim sky outside the window was gradually replaced by the night.

The bulging veins on Ross’s face gradually calmed, and his body stopped twitching.

During this process, the muscles on his body vaguely enlarged, but they did not swell too much. If one did not look carefully, it was not easy to notice.

Zhou Jing poked Ross’s chest. It was different from the previous dry feeling he got. It was now very elastic.

“Is this a success?”

Ross’s gaze was still following Zhou Jing as he nodded imperceptibly.

Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised. He opened the follower’s attribute panel to take a look.
