The person in charge of the workshop looked at Zhou Jing before asking curiously.

“Who is this?”

“Jason·Wood…” Zhou Jing had no choice but to introduce himself again.

The person in charge of the workshop sized up Zhou Jing curiously but did not say anything. After a simple introduction, he agreed to Barong’s request.

“Barong, you have seven recorded entries in the workshop. You can take the potion whenever you want. Come with me. I’ll show you the inventory and see which potion you want to choose.”

With that, the person in charge of the workshop made an inviting gesture and led the group into the workshop’s warehouse.

After passing through a winding corridor, they arrived at a warehouse filled with boxes.

The person in charge of the workshop picked up a thick notebook from the shelf by the door and flipped to one of the pages before handing it to Barong and Zhou Jing.

“We have 11 sets of blood potions in our inventory now. The materials used and the possible direction of enhancement are all written on it. Take a look at which one you want.”

The Mutant Blood Potion that one could exchange for mainly depended on what inventory the Hunter’s Workshop had. Of course, if they were not to one’s liking, he could make an appointment and come back to get them when the workshop had more stock.

Or, to be more direct, one could hunt down the mutant beasts they liked and bring them over for the workshop to process.

Zhou Jing’s eyes swept through the list.

Iron-armored Beast Potion, Ridgeback Dragon Potion, Bizarre Bird Potion…

In addition to physical training, he had also learned some knowledge about mutant beasts from Barong. At this moment, he could recognize most of the mutant beasts that were being used for the potions.

“How’s the quality of this batch?” Barong asked casually as he looked through the catalog as well.

The person in charge of the workshop said, “Three of them are new works, seven are the works of skilled pharmacists, and one is the work of a pharmacist who performed exceptionally well.”

“Then we’re in luck.” Barong laughed and turned to look at Zhou Jing. “Take a look. Is that high-quality mutant blood potion the strengthening direction you want? If there’s no problem, I’ll choose it.”

Over the past few days, Zhou Jing had already heard Barong talk about the mechanism of strengthening through the mutant blood potion. Choosing the first mutant blood potion was very important, and it almost determined one’s path of strengthening in the future.

The first potion that Barong used was mainly focused on strength and defense. It was good at fighting head-on and was suitable for being an MT¹.

In addition, the better the quality of the medicine, the harder it was to inherit the weakness of the mutated beasts used.

Zhou Jing looked at the materials for this high-quality potion—Lightning Strike Leopard Potion.

This was a type of mutated beast that specialized in speed and explosive power. It also had a special ability to discharge electricity. It belonged to the category of high-risk mutated beasts. Its strengthening direction was Agility, reaction speed, explosive power, and a certain level of electric resistance.

A high Agility, highly explosive route… Seems good.

Zhou Jing was a little tempted.

Compared to pure strength, agility and reaction speed in battle might be more useful.

However…

Zhou Jing pondered for a few seconds before suddenly speaking.

“Barong, this request might be a little sudden, but… can I take two potions? Just take it as I’m taking out a loan from you.”

Barong froze.

“You want two blood potions? What for?”

It’s useless to take too much of this thing. He can only use one… does he want to strengthen himself twice in a row immediately? Does he want to die?

Even if you’re talented, you can’t do that!

Seeing Barong’s expression, Zhou Jing knew that he had misunderstood. He immediately waved his hand and explained.

“I don’t intend to strengthen myself continuously. I just want to have another option… I already owe you a favor for your help in exchanging a bottle of potion for me. I definitely can’t use your second potion for nothing. Just think that I borrowed it.”

He had indeed taken a fancy to the Lightning Strike Leopard Potion, but he did not intend to use it directly.

The danger of the blood potion was still unknown. He decided to take another blood potion to satisfy Ross’s wishes and let this loyal follower obtain the opportunity to test the potion he had always dreamed of so as to contribute to the organization.

On the other hand, he would watch from the side to see how the effect was and what kind of performance one would display after taking the potion. Only then would he have an idea.

Although Jason·Wood’s abilities could be inherited even if he died, Zhou Jing felt that it was better to be careful when facing the strengthening of the mutant blood for the first time.

Barong touched his bald head, still not understanding Zhou Jing’s reason.

What’s the point of having another choice? In any case, he still has to use the best potion in the end.

However, he did not probe further. Ever since his worldview had been overturned by Zhou Jing, this had become his habit.

“Alright, I’ll take it that you borrowed it… Although I still don’t quite understand what you mean, it’s fine as long as you don’t use the potion continuously.” Barong agreed.

Actually, he didn’t care. Instead, he had accumulated a lot of records, and he didn’t intend to strengthen himself a second time in a short while, so it wasn’t a problem to give Zhou Jing another one.

Moreover, since he said that he would return it in the future, Barong had no objections.

Zhou Jing was not sure if Barong would agree. Seeing that he did not refuse, he was relieved.

He looked at the list again before saying, “Then give me this Lightning Strike Leopard Potion and… the Black-Handed Fox Potion.”

Most of the strengthening aspects of the Mutant Blood Potion were strength, endurance, agility, and so on. As for the Black-Handed Fox, it was a mutated beast that was good at concealment and stealth, so its strengthening direction was special.

The workshop manager quickly took out two wooden boxes from the warehouse and opened them.

There was a bottle of bright red potion in each box, and the name of the potion was marked on the bottles.
