The God's Games

Hanjun\'s recipe clearly stated that magic was needed to fuse all the ingredients together, making the materials work in harmony to create the perfect Accelerated Growth Potion.

Though the instructions seemed clear, they didn\'t actually explain how the magic should achieve this or how to bring out the full effect of each ingredient, leaving the process up to the maker\'s discretion.

Luckily, the first person to try was Flower Deer.

She patiently chopped all the ingredients into small pieces, put them into a crucible, and began stirring them with a magic-infused rod.

Spicy Flavor Fairy and Master PungPong watched from the side, quietly wondering where the crucible had come from.

Soon enough, Flower Deer calmly finished stirring, and Spicy Flavor Fairy and Master PungPong noticed that the green potion gradually became clear, turning into a liquid as clear as water.

Their eyes widened, "Did she actually succeed on the first try?!"

Flower Deer wasn\'t sure either, since the recipe didn\'t describe what the potion should look like, and they couldn\'t see the potion\'s quality or description.

Flower Deer grabbed a small glass bottle, filled it into the bottle, and finally saw the potion\'s name appear.

[ Accelerated Growth Potion made by Flower Deer, unknown effect, can be appraised. ]

Now they understood why they had been able to see item descriptions without needing an appraisal spell earlier—it was all leading up to this moment.

But it made sense.

The items they encountered at the beginning were either low-level or not important, and they could figure out their properties just by looking.

As they progressed in the game, they started encountering more mysterious items, which would need appraisal.

While Spicy Flavor Fairy and the others were thinking about where to take the potion to get it appraised, Flower Deer filled a few more bottles and then turned around to leave.

Spicy Flavor Fairy asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Flower Deer, being a hands-on type, couldn\'t wait around.

She replied bluntly, "I know where the abandoned fields are. Why not test it out and see the effects directly?"

Master PungPong wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "What if your potion has a problem and contaminates the soil?"

Flower Deer, realizing she might have overlooked this issue.

Spicy Flavor Fairy nudged her with his elbow, speaking up in her defense, "It\'s just a small bottle of potion; what could go wrong? If it really polluted the land, we\'d probably be dead by the time it\'s ready."

Flower Deer thought about it and realized Spicy Flavor Fairy might be right.

She nodded and said, "Then I\'ll find a pot of soil to test it."

True to her word, Flower Deer returned to the potion shop with a pot of soil.

There was a wilted yellow plant in the soil that looked like it wouldn\'t live much longer.

In front of everyone, Flower Deer opened the potion and said, "I\'m going to pour it now."

The three of them nodded their head, focusing intently to see if anything magical would happen to the soil.

At first, when the clear potion was poured, nothing seemed to happen.

But slowly, Master PungPong and the others noticed that the wilted yellow plant suddenly perked up, turning from yellow back to green as if it had been revitalized.

Spicy Flavor Fairy thought that was the end of it, but it wasn\'t.

The plant, as if supercharged, suddenly grew by two millimeters.

At first, the change was so subtle that they didn\'t notice it with their eyes.

But soon, the plant started growing faster and faster.

By the time it had doubled in height, Spicy Flavor Fairy and Master PungPong were both exclaiming in surprise.

To their amazement, the plant kept growing.

They even heard the pot that Flower Deer brought begin to crack as the plant\'s roots expanded outward, breaking through the pot and growing out of it.

What surprised them even more was that the plant kept growing, sprouting thick branches that spread out, twining around the pot.

Then, right before their eyes, little flowers started blooming on the branches.

After a brief shake, the flowers quickly closed up.

Spicy Flavor Fairy stared in disbelief and said, "Is it still growing?"

They had been watching for half an hour, and the plant still hadn\'t stopped growing.

At this point, it couldn\'t be called a small plant anymore; it had grown into a lush, thriving plant.

As they watched, after the flowers bloomed, small fruits started to emerge from the petals, growing into a soft pink color.

Once the large fruit had fully developed, the plant finally slowed its growth.

Seeing this, Master PungPong sighed in relief.

He had thought the plant might continue to grow until it withered away according to the natural life cycle.

It seemed the potion\'s effects had finally ended.

Looking at the small spots of red among the green, Master PungPong joked, "Who would\'ve thought we\'d end up with strawberries? Looks like our luck isn\'t bad."

Flower Deer was also amazed by the Accelerated Growth Potion\'s effects.

In just one hour, she had witnessed the entire growth process of a plant, from seedling to fruit.

If something like this existed in the real world, it might dramatically increase crop yields and reduce the amount of land needed for farming.

This could help reduce the number of hungry people in the world.

If they could find the same materials in the real world and follow the same method, maybe...

Master PungPong shouted, "Hey, why did you stop moving, big shot?"

His shout snapped Flower Deer out of her thoughts, and she chuckled to herself.

Where was her mind wandering?

This was just a game.

How could these things exist in real life?

Maybe it was because some of these materials were too similar to plants on Earth that she had this illusion.

Besides, where would you find magic in the real world?
