Chapter 57: The Incredible Potion (Part 2)
Finn Lewis flexed his arm, feeling the strength coursing through it. He asked disbelievingly, “Are you sure I’ve only gained 2 points of strength and agility?”
No wonder Finn was shocked. If he remembered correctly, Zero had once told him that the standard adult’s strength and agility should both be 20, while intelligence should be 15, based on brain development level.
But according to his previous data, his strength was only at 10, agility at 11, and intelligence at 10. Now, after each had increased by 2 points, they should stand at 12, 13, and 12, respectively. Yet, somehow, Finn felt as if his strength had doubled.
“Your current data for all three attributes is 12.” Zero explained bluntly.
“Why did my agility drop by 1 point?” Finn grew frantic. ‘Damn it, You’re screwing with my points again — please don’t tell me you’re going to undermine the effects of the expensive potion I’ve just bought as well?’ , he thought.
“The accuracy of the three major attributes goes up to nine decimal places. We just generally truncate them. The potion’s +1 effect is simply an approximate range, where the actual effect could fluctuate between 0.5 to 1.5.” After hearing Zero’s explanation, Finn understood.
“Alright, I get that. But can you explain why my body has undergone such a drastic transformation?” This was what truly startled Finn.
“Simply put, your previous body evaluation showed strength and agility at 10 and 11, respectively. Unfortunately, your muscles, ligaments, meridians, and bone structure could not fully utilize this strength and agility – the most they could handle was 70%. Only now can your body fully showcase these improved attributes.” Zero’s cool, detached voice dealt Finn a heavy blow.
Finn was taken aback, but he understood. It was as if his previous body, when exerting maximum strength, would likely result in muscle and ligament damage, but now it wouldn’t.
“Given that this is your first time redeeming and using a potion, I will explain everything in detail. First, the +1 effect of the potion isn’t fixed. Once you reach the standard attributes of an adult, the effect of the potion might diminish — three bottles might not even increase one’s attribute.”
“Given the current analysis of your body, when your strength and agility reach 50 points, the price of the potion will increase to 5000 points per bottle. It’s not easy to break through the limits of the human body.” Zero paused before adding.
However, this didn’t surprise Finn too much. He knew that by that point, he’d likely have to switch to a different potion.
“If I use the potion again, will my body become even stronger? I don’t want to turn into a big brute.” Although Finn admired muscular bodies, he did not want to end up like one of those hulky guys in the North Federation’s WTVVE professional league.
“Only the first use has such an effect. The initial dosage adjusts your body to its best condition. Any subsequent uses will only result in minor adjustments; there won’t be a drastic change in physique.”
Finn breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied. Fortunately, he wore long sleeve when he went recruitment — if he’d worn shorts and a T-shirt, his new look would’ve been exposed to the public.
His arms were now noticeably bigger than before. Nonetheless, looking in the mirror, Finn was quite pleased with his reflection — he appeared more robust. Standing at a standard height of 1.8 meters, Finn now looked even more masculine.
He stretched out his right arm, giving it a flex, nodding with satisfaction. Previously, it took considerable effort just to display his biceps. Now, he simply flexed his arm and his muscles bulged noticeably. When he extended his arm, his muscles, though still defined, showed a smooth, streamlined form — an aesthetically pleasing sight.
Finn was starting to fall in love with his body. He wondered if the ladies would feel the same. Thinking about his newly recruited female assistants, Finn’s mind began to wander — after all, curiosity about the opposite sex works both ways.
With a body like Finn’s, it wouldn’t just be women who would be visually drawn to him, but men as well. Daily exercise could never create such a physique because Finn’s physical transformation was optimally designed by the potion.
Feeling good, Finn admired himself in the mirror for a while before casually wiped down his body and got out of the shower. Then he picked up his underwear and nut it on. But when he tried. he realized a problem — although
his overall size hadn’t changed much, his body parts were noticeably more developed. As a result, his clothes felt small.
He tried on the clothes he’d just stripped off, but they felt tight even though they were wearable. However, Finn soon frowned as he remembered the millions worth of clothes he had in his dressing room. They were all too small now.
The problem was, he’d never worn most of them. He’d only ever worn the clothes he currently had on. Walking around a bit, Finn found his clothes felt uncomfortable. He stripped down again, out of his clothes and headed to the dressing room downstairs.
Ruby wasn’t in the room. With no one around to see him in just his underwear,
Finn entered the dressing room to find something loose to wear. As for the top, Finn decided not to bother. The clothes here were all too small and would need to be replaced.
After changing into a pair of shorts, Finn went back to his room to sleep. He was feeling tired. After sleeping for a good five hours and waking up to find it was already dark, Finn’s growling stomach woke him up completely.
Finn jumped out of bed and headed downstairs. As he approached the stairs, he heard laughter from below. It appears Fishy and the others were back.
Finn was a bit curious to see how much the ladies had changed in just one afternoon. He sped down the stairs. When he reached the living room, the five ladies who were chatting and enjoying themselves were startled by Finn’s presence. The sight of each other left both Finn and his five female assistants utterly stupefied.
Finn was stunned and the five women shared the same look of shock on their faces..
