Let them offer their loyalty!

Seeing the strange description of the potion, Qiu Tu was truly a walking question mark.

"Wait a minute, a potion for petrified skin turns you into stone yourself?"

What kind of potion genius is this?

After all... just say it did or didn't petrify, will you!

While silently criticizing in his mind, Qiu Tu set the bottle of "Fossil Potion" aside and then looked at the second potion.

The second potion was named "Nameless Potion 2".

With a forehead full of dark lines, Qiu Tu could roughly guess the remark on this potion.

As expected...

"A byproduct of a failed attempt at making the 'Giant Strength Expansion Potion'."

"According to the observations of the test subject, a small white dog, after drinking it, it failed to increase the user's size and strength. However... it can cause certain body parts, such as an arm, leg, or head, to enlarge and gain strength."

"The potion's effects last for a maximum of 3 hours."

Qiu Tu: ??

At this moment, Qiu Tu's head was filled with little question marks.

He could already imagine the scene where Shen Lingshuang gave the little white dog the potion, and its head suddenly enlarged, chasing her around and biting.

What kind of sins did this little white dog commit in its past life to end up as the test subject for a "Potion Genius" like Shen Lingshuang?

Qiu Tu recalled that when he had first met Shen Lingshuang, she told him about the fever-reducing potion she had made for her father. Although it did bring his fever down, her father ended up without any body temperature at all.

Truly a Medicine God...

When he first asked her to concoct the "Cataclysm Awakening Potion," his "Crisis Intuition" reminded him that he could only attempt it every three days. Could it be because of her mystical "Medicine God Constitution"?

Silently lamenting in his heart, Qiu Tu warily took out the third potion.

This time, Shen Lingshuang had finally not botched the potion.

"Iron Will Potion"

"Effect: After consumption, it can strengthen the mind tremendously for one hour. It not only effectively prevents mental damage, but also enhances concentration and pain tolerance."

"The little white dog chased me for five whole streets after having a little bit of this potion! I threw several rocks at it and still couldn't drive it away!"

Looking at the remark left by Shen Lingshuang, Qiu Tu had a forehead full of dark lines.

If he were that little white dog, he wouldn't let Shen Lingshuang off either...

With that thought, Qiu Tu pocketed the Iron Will Potion and temporarily set the other two aside.

Although the effects of the three potions varied, only the last one, which could increase mental resilience, would be of some help in today's battle.

As for the other two, maybe...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu suddenly paused in his actions.

All three potions, if successfully concocted, would have been one for physical defense (Petrification Skin Potion), one for mental defense (Iron Will Potion), and one for offensive use (Giant Strength Expansion)...

At this thought, Qiu Tu felt a mix of emotions.

He couldn't help but look in the direction of his home...

In a trance, he seemed to see Shen Lingshuang, without a communicator, sitting dumbly on the old sofa, propping up her chin, staring out the door, waiting for his return...

And that unlucky little white dog would be lazily sprawled at her feet, curled up and asleep...

'Damn it. I hate this sappy stuff!'

'No woman in heart, the firmer the trigger gets!'

Cursing in his mind, Qiu Tu pressed the accelerator, his face disgruntled, and headed towards the Investigation Bureau!

However, on the way to the Investigation Bureau, Qiu Tu still took out his communicator and found an excuse to vent his anger by giving Eagle and Ah-Kun a good scolding!

After the tirade, Qiu Tu tossed the communicator aside, leaving the two on the other end bewildered.

They racked their brains but couldn't understand why they were being scolded. They could only scratch their heads and chalk it up to Qiu Tu being in a bad mood.

After all, Qiu Tu couldn't possibly be taking out his frustration about Shen Lingshuang on them, could he? Experience tales with empire

All they did was not lend a communicator to Shen Lingshuang.

Thinking so, they didn't take it to heart: after all, to them, Qiu Tu was a big brother, almost like a father. If he scolds, so be it. They had no complaints...

Like that, Qiu Tu sped all the way to the Investigation Bureau.

Having vented all the way, his mood had finally improved a great deal.

Getting out of the car, Qiu Tu locked up and prepared to go to the Investigation Bureau Office Building to start his day at work.

However, he had hardly taken a step when a familiar voice called out to him, "Qiu Tu~~"

At that voice, Qiu Tu turned around and saw Liu Fuping standing under a nearby tree, sneakily waving at him.

Qiu Tu was momentarily stunned before a light went on in his head: Hiss... Could it be that the beautiful lady wants to get up to something naughty today?

With that thought, he walked over, twirling his car keys, and asked curiously, "Sister Liu, why are you waiting here for me today? Is there something you need?"

Liu Fuping, looking like she was about to do something secretive, glanced left and right to ensure there was nobody else around in the parking lot. Then, grabbing Qiu Tu's hand, she whispered, "Come with me."

Qiu Tu glanced at the Crisis Countdown in the top left corner, with no new Crisis Warning, suggesting there was no danger.

And so, he followed her, ready to find out what kind of potion the beautiful young widow had in store for him today.

After leaving the parking lot, Liu Fuping in uniform, hands behind her back, tiptoeing, peering left and right.

Once she made sure no one had seen them, she pulled Qiu Tu into a residential house across from the Investigation Bureau.
