Bizarre Voyage: Summoning The Fourth Crisis

[The Demon-Harboring Cottage has been built!]

[Demon-Harboring Cottage (Tier One, currently not upgradeable)]

[Functions: Planting, Refining]

[Planting: You can create a Demon-Storage Basin to purchase seeds for special crops. Consuming Wax Oil for watering will accelerate growth. Crops can be harvested after a certain amount of time.]

[Refining: After unlocking the Refining Platform, you can concoct potions using specific formulas or research them on your own.]

A farming cottage.

Luo Ge wasn't surprised by this. What made him curious was that the Demon-Harboring Cottage was clearly meant for players, but it didn't look very big. 'Surely all these players aren't meant to share one small cottage?'

'Even multiplayer games don't work like this!'

Thinking this, Luo Ge pushed open the door and walked inside.

But soon, after a blurry ripple of energy, he understood why the Demon-Harboring Cottage was so small.

Because every player who pushed open the door would be transported to a completely different space, just like those dungeons.

With this in mind, Luo Ge began to examine the interior of the Demon-Harboring Cottage.

The cottage was empty, save for two quietly floating flames of different colors.

One was black and white, the other purple.

After touching the black and white flame first, Luo Ge's eye couldn't help but twitch.

[Available for Purchase: Demon Base Seed (Tier One, 1 Wax Oil), Demon-Storage Basin (Tier One, 10 Wax Oil)]

'What the hell? I have to pay Wax Oil to use the Spirit Candle's own functions?'

After using up what little Wax Oil he had left, Luo Ge mentally billed the players for this expense.

'He couldn't do anything about the Spirit Candle, but could he not do anything about the players?'

'A cut. I have to take a cut!'

After the Wax Oil was consumed.

Before long, a Demon-Storage Basin shaped like a flowerpot with faint azure flame patterns appeared before Luo Ge.

The Demon-Storage Basin wasn't filled with soil, but with a viscous liquid of mixed dark brown and black.

Next, Luo Ge bought an Ash Seed and pressed it into the liquid.

[Demon Base Seed·Tier One (Ungerminated)]

However, there was no reaction. According to the Spirit Candle's feedback, if he didn't water it with Wax Oil, he would just have to wait a fixed number of days.

Naturally, Luo Ge used more Wax Oil to give it a try.

This consumed another point of his Wax Oil.

[Watering successful.]

As the Wax Oil turned to liquid and flowed into the Demon-Storage Basin, something strange happened.

The seed Luo Ge had just pushed down immediately sprouted two tender, purple buds, which occasionally dropped some ash-like dust.

[Demon Base Seedling·Tier One (Sprouted)]

Luo Ge raised an eyebrow.

'Looks like I can keep watering it?'

'Then I'll water it.'

[Watering successful.]

[Demon Base New Leaves·Tier One (Growing)]

The Demon Base Seedling quickly grew again. Its stem thickened, and leaves sprouted one after another.

Luo Ge chose to water it again.

This time, however, his luck wasn't as good.

[Watering failed.]

[Demon Base New Leaves·Tier One (Withered)]

It seemed that due to being watered too frequently, the Demon Base New Leaves drooped and withered.

A moment later, the withered Demon Base New Leaves were dissolved by the viscous liquid below, vanishing without a trace.

Luo Ge's face darkened. 'I was wondering why there was no limit on watering. Turns out the more frequently you water it, the higher the chance it dies.'

After a moment of thought, he decided to try again and bought another seed.

To be honest, he just wanted to see what this thing looked like when it was fully mature.

'My luck can't be that bad this time.'

After pressing the seed in, Luo Ge began watering it again.

However, it turned out that his previous failure wasn't due to bad luck.

On the contrary, the fact that it took three waterings to kill it was actually a sign of good luck.

Because on his second attempt, the Demon Base Seedling withered after just the second watering.

Seeing this, Luo Ge cursed inwardly, then stubbornly continued planting, refusing to believe it.

Finally, after several more failures, just as his Wax Oil was about to run out, he successfully saw the crop reach its mature stage.

[Demon Base Spirit Leaves·Tier One (Mature)]

The purple, tree-like Demon Base Spirit Leaves pulsed with a faint power. Tentacle-like roots dangled from the tips of its leaves, and it had produced a total of five exquisite Spirit Leaves.

Seeing this, Luo Ge began to harvest them.

[Obtained: Demon Base Spirit Leaves ×5]

[Demon Base Spirit Leaves]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: Acts as a base material for Magic Potions.]

[Explanation: The foundation of Magic Potion Science, the root of Magic Power.]

After harvesting the leaves, seeing that the branch hadn't disappeared, Luo Ge picked the branch as well.

[Obtained: Demon Base Spirit Branch ×3]

The description for the Demon Base Spirit Branch was similar to that of the Demon Base Spirit Leaves.

This information also came from the Spirit Candle's feedback, not from Luo Ge's own editing.

'The root of Magic Potion Science…'

Seeing this, Luo Ge grew thoughtful.

After putting down the Demon-Storage Basin, he walked over to the purple flame and touched it.

[Create a Refining Platform?]

Awkwardly, this thing also required Wax Oil.

And Luo Ge didn't have much Wax Oil left.

Without another word, he quickly left the Demon-Harboring Cottage.

Under Noxia's confused gaze, he slaughtered the Beach Fishmen with lightning speed, then entered the Demon-Harboring Cottage again.

This time, the Refining Platform was finally unlocked.

After the Wax Oil was consumed, a Refining Platform covered with various tools appeared before him.

In addition, there were three recipes.

[Obtained: Recipe · Stone Shattering Potion]

[Obtained: Recipe · Clarity Magic Potion]

[Obtained: Recipe · Devotion Magic Potion]

[Recipe · Stone Shattering Potion]

[Type: Recipe]

[Contents: Demon Base Spirit Leaf Juice (one leaf) + "Common" Quality or higher crushed sea crab (one) + Medium Heat = Stone Shattering Potion.]

[Explanation: A basic recipe for Stone Shattering Potion.]

The information for these three recipes was simple and direct: the three potions corresponded to increasing Power, Spirit, and Faith, respectively.

This surprised Luo Ge somewhat.

'This function seems a bit redundant with the function of fish catches...'

But after a moment's thought, he decided to try it out first.

He was just about to go out and fish when he suddenly stopped.

'Why bother fishing? I'll just take some from the players.'

At this thought, Luo Ge directly summoned Brother Yu's Candle Spirit Body.

But after rummaging through it for a bit, he looked surprised.

'How is there not even a single sea crab?'

Luo Ge suspiciously searched through the items Brother Yu had stored in the Spirit Candle. There was a large pile of miscellaneous junk and a couple of small fish, but no sea crabs.

Helpless, Luo Ge had no choice but to summon Mushroom's.

This time he wasn't disappointed. After taking a common sea crab from a pile of them, he was about to give him some Wax Oil as compensation when he suddenly realized he didn't have much Wax Oil left himself.

Thinking of this, Luo Ge decided to put that idea aside for now.

Then, he went to the Refining Platform and began crafting.

The Refining Platform also had an "auto-craft" function similar to the Sin Furnace, but it required Wax Oil.

To be safe, Luo Ge filched some more Wax Oil from Mushroom's pockets.

Before long, the same illusory figure appeared and began tinkering at the Refining Platform.

[Refining...]

Soon, it placed the finished Magic Potion into a complimentary vial and then vanished.

[Refining successful!]

[Obtained: Stone Shattering Potion·Tier One ×1]

[Stone Shattering Potion·Tier One]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: After drinking, the user's Power will be slightly increased for a long period of time. Toxin accumulation will increase.]

[Explanation: One of the basic Magic Potions.]

Luo Ge studied the slightly reddish potion in his hand for a moment, then summoned a Candle Spirit Body, had it drink the potion in one gulp, and felt the changes it brought.

"The effect is much stronger than fish catches, but it accumulates toxins... There's a usage limit."

After a moment of thought, Luo Ge nodded slightly.

If fish catches were just preliminary processing, then Magic Potions could be understood as the product of refined processing, making them comparatively more powerful.

But they also had a drawback: the accumulation of toxins was unavoidable. And if the toxins from these Magic Potions stacked to the maximum, it wouldn't be like a normal "Poisoned" status. It would directly cause death from Magic Power Chaos and toxin overload.

"I'll leave the rest for them to explore."

Having understood the general situation, Luo Ge withdrew his gaze.

After glancing at Mushroom's Candle Spirit Body next to him, he placed the remaining Demon Base Materials into the other's inventory.

If he remembered correctly, that kid Mushroom liked to stack buffs. In that case, he could use this as compensation.

'Then later, I'll just post an update announcement saying there was a bug or something.'

He really couldn't be bothered to grind for more Wax Oil. The amount the Fish People gave now was just chump change, not even worth his time.
