Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

"Wait a minute!" Irene stopped Fan Wei who was about to taste the food, "Let's leave this kind of thing to professionals."

"The Sage Tower has professional pharmacists who are more experienced and can keenly judge the effects and side effects of drugs. You don't have to take risks yourself."

Fan Wei paused for a moment as he was holding the pill, but smiled and shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, Irene! But for a chef, it is a great pity not to be able to taste the food he cooks himself."

"Please let me be willful for a while!"

Irene was still worried, but when she saw the extra seriousness on Fan Wei's face, her heart seemed to be gently touched.

After hesitating for a long time, she loosened her hand around his arm.

"If you have any questions, please tell me right away!"

"Don't worry~" From the perspective of the cook, neither of the two finished products has the color of toxins.

The only possible risk is a loss of energy control, but after multiple tests, the likelihood of the pill posing a risk has been reduced to a very low level.

Take a light breath and pick up the first Thunderbug Pill.

Under the outer coating are two pieces of roasted insect meat, with a layer of Netherworld Flower Mud in between.

With Fan Wei's participation, this meatball that looks like medicine is actually a snack!

When you put it in your mouth, it feels like a small glutinous rice ball when your teeth gently touch it. When you bite open the crispy and glutinous skin, you will find the smooth, tender and fragrant prawn-like insect meat inside, which blooms with the slightly sour and fragrant Netherworld Flower sauce.

It is rich but not greasy, clear but not bland. If you add a sip of light tea, it is really wonderful.

"Delicious! It's worthy of being a special cooking ingredient!"

Seeing Fan Wei's full praise, Irene narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with the corners of her lips curled up: "Fan, this is not how you eat it, right? Once you chew it, the Nether Flower and the Thunder Bug will mix and come into contact, and the power will be ineffective..."

“Ha…haah, sorry, I just couldn’t help but eat it.”

Here’s the sad part, in order for the pill to work, it must be swallowed whole, where the coating slowly breaks down in the stomach, releasing the energy.

If the stable structure is destroyed after biting, it will become a real snack.

"What a shame, it was made to be delicious!"

Picking up another pill, Fan Wei patiently swallowed it in one gulp. This time it produced a different effect, a warm energy rising from his stomach.

Fan Wei felt a tingling sensation in his blood vessels and meridians, and his hair stood up. When he clenched his hands, tiny arcs of electricity danced on his fingertips as his muscles expanded.

"My strength has increased!" My body seems to have endless energy, and...!

With a snap, Fan Wei raised his hand and released a bolt of lightning, which hit a rockery several meters away, causing stone chips to fly everywhere!

He clasped his hands together, and the arc of electricity slowly condensed into thunder. A blue light gathered between his cupped hands and gradually expanded into a larger and larger sphere.

With a loud bang, the bases of the palms merged together and a ball of lightning was shot out.

A ball of lightning and sparks exploded in the sky!

For the safety of the experiment, they specially ran to the spacious hot spring room. Looking at the blue electric light gradually disappearing in the night sky, Irene pushed up her glasses and her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Can it give the eater supernatural powers? It can also improve certain physical attributes!"

"Are there any side effects? No! Even if there are side effects, this is still a very powerful drug! It is definitely far superior to ordinary medicines!"

Holding Fan Wei's hand to check, Irene confirmed her thoughts little by little, "This pill can have no side effects. It can give people the ability to control thunder while the drug is taking effect, and it can also provide benefits at the same time."

“Even if there is no detailed data yet, it is enough to arouse the interest of the higher-ups!”

In this world, there are very few beings who are born with special powers. Except for a few powerful races, such as the Dragon Clan and the Winged Clan, most races can only have one or two such beings among thousands of people by luck.

Things that can give people special powers are extremely rare and precious, and each one is priced sky-high.

In this case, although the Thunder Bug Pills can only temporarily give people the power to control thunder and lightning, the huge quantity and relatively low price will definitely attract countless adventurers.

For the Sage Tower, it must be a huge source of wealth.

"Congratulations, you are the treasure of the Sage Tower." Pinching Fan Wei's cheek, Irene said happily: "With your detoxification ability, only you can produce pills without side effects."

"It goes without saying that the higher-ups will do their best to protect you now!"

"But... maybe that's a bit too much for you."

Even though she didn't like politics, Irene understood that paying too much attention to it would go against Fan Wei's original intention. Being kept in the Sage Tower might be only slightly better than being kept in the royal family.

"So you keep the other drug for now."

Fan Wei was somewhat surprised when Irene said to him, "When it's time to balance, balance it. If you have a chance, use it to send a signal to Midara and let the royal family negotiate with the Sage Tower for you."

Although she behaved a bit like a traitor, the half-elf lady understood that there was a boundary between the "big family" and the small family.

If you don't favor Fan Wei, can you just contribute to the organization honestly?

"Thank you, Irene!" Fan Wei also figured it out and was deeply moved. In order to protect him, she was even willing to change her position. Only the closest family members could do this, right?

He has definitely fulfilled his filial duty!

"It's cold at night, Irene, don't catch a cold!"

He immediately ran to the hut and took out a blanket to cover his dear aunt, Fan Wei said with tenderness in his eyes.

Although her heart was filled with warmth and sweetness for a moment, Irene always felt that something was wrong. How could this be similar to how her father took care of her grandmother who was like an old naughty child?

Clara next to her tried hard not to let her eyes waver, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Your performance is so stable!

Yes, let’s classify Ms. Irene as an elder!!

After expressing his gratitude, Fan Wei picked up the Netherworld Flower Pill that looked like a sandwich cookie, and took a bite of it. His mouth was filled with the crispy and fragrant taste, which made him very satisfied.

Then he swallowed the thumb-sized pill into his stomach.

This time, the thunder and lightning around him were much calmer, and could not be mobilized like before, but he gave off a feeling of being as still as a mountain.

"It looks like a defensive force."

A small ball of light emerged from Irene's fingertips. After testing it, she found that she could not shake this layer of defense at all. As the force increased, the faint electric light on Fan Wei's body remained very stable.

"Just like the blue electric snake that couldn't attack last time!"

He glanced at Clara. If the girl hadn't participated, their team of elite adventurers would have almost returned empty-handed. Neither magic nor skills could do anything about the electric light shrouding the snake.

Even if the Nether Flower is not that powerful, it can still provide quite strong defense!

"The Summoning Herb is meant to protect souls. Without special powers, it is difficult to attack it before the lightning is exhausted."

The former owner of the two special cooking ingredients spoke up, "This is a product of divine power. If I hadn't died, you wouldn't even think of cracking it, but just being able to get a little bit of it would be considered a skill!"

Talking about her bravery in the past, the blonde girl felt depressed for a short while.

She was once a god! It is really sad that she has fallen to such a state now.

"One for attack and one for defense?" Fan Wei whispered to himself, "This is really a great dish~"

This was the first special cooking ingredient he had cracked, and its functions and effects did not disappoint.

"No matter what, the goals of the initial stage have been achieved." Fan Wei said with high morale: "The next step is to see how things develop in the future, and... the plan to prepare for the opening of a branch store!"
