A Valiant Life

Little intelligence pill!

One could tell that he had to create a pill that would increase intelligence. However, he didn’t know what other effects it would have as the Encyclopedia didn’t mention anything. He would only find out about it after he created one.

He looked through the Encyclopedia.

He needed a lot of ingredients to make the Little intelligence pill and they were complicated. However, Lin Fan knew that he had to keep practicing it. However, the ingredients didn’t seem to be accessible in the modern society.

Then, Lin Fan started to become doubtful.

Lin Fan wasn’t tired anymore after such an event. He wanted to go to Cloud Street and study it.

Furthermore, the reward for completing the task was so good. It would open up the departmental store of the Encyclopedia. What was that about? It sounded a little unbelievable.

He was full of anticipation.

This was the day he had been anticipating ever since he got the Encyclopedia.

In the bathroom!

The water was flowing endlessly.

Lin Fan was humming a song happily. He was feeling so happy but he couldn’t find anyone to share his happiness with.

*sizzle*

Hmm?

“What was that?” Lin Fan was rubbing himself down and he suddenly realized that there was ink on his arms.

“That’s weird. What’s happening? I don’t think I’m so dirty, right? Why is the water black?” He didn’t understand what was happening. He looked at the tap and realized that there wasn’t any dirty water. Where did this come from?

He was a little too excited and he used his back scrubbing & cleaning knowledge.

Wait!

Then, Lin Fan seemed to have figured something out. However, he didn’t dare to confirm it. If it was true, it would be unbelievable.

The two knowledge classifications belonged to the lowest class of knowledge of all. If it was true, then it’d be incredible.

Lin Fan prepared to experiment it again. He began to rub the other arm.

Indeed!

The water became black again.

Then, he used clear water to wash it off. He realized that the part which he just rubbed seemed whiter than the other areas.

Then, he stopped using the cleaning knowledge.

The water didn’t turn black anymore.

It was as if Lin Fan had discovered the New World. He was in disbelief. How could the two knowledge classifications produce such a different effect when combined?

The back scrubbing knowledge could help to improve his mood and the cleaning knowledge could get rid of stains.

When the two knowledge classifications were combined, what effect would it produce?

Lin Fan was thinking about that. When he scrubbed his chest area, the water turned blacker than before. He felt that his body had been transformed and he felt happier.

“Is this the true essence of cleaning?” Lin Fan was doubtful.

In the afternoon!

It was 2 in the afternoon.

At Cloud Street.

Lin Fan walked happily into the shop. Anyone would have seen that he was extremely happy.

“Hey, you seem a little weird today.” Fraud Tian realized that Lin Fan looked a little weird.

Lin Fan smiled, “What’s wrong?”

Fraud Tian said, “Why do I feel like you’re a changed man? You look invigorated. Does this skin even belong to you?”

Lin Fan was elated. “What do you mean by that? If my skin wasn’t mine, who else would it belong to? Tell me, what changes do you see?”

Fraud Tian shook his head. “I can’t put my hand on it. You Lan, come over and have a look. Does this man look different today? He looks like a changed man.”

Wu You Lan was busy. “What is it? What changes does Brother Lin have?” When she looked at Lin Fan, Wu You Lan’s face changed. Then, she walked towards Lin Fan and gasped, “Hey, he really looks different.”

Lin Fan stood there, “Tell me about it.”

Wu You Lan looked at him closely. “Your skin wasn’t this good. Your pores are so small now and your skin seems whiter. There aren’t any black spots anymore. Your hair is blacker too. This… This… Brother Lin, did you eat something magical? The changes are drastic.”

Lin Fan smiled. He knew that there were changes.

Furthermore, these changes were visible.

His superior medical skills allowed him to feel his own body’s situation. Everyone’s body had toxins and the artificial ingredients would accumulate in one’s body. It naturally had negative effects on the human body. However, when he combined both the back scrubbing and cleaning knowledge classifications in the bathroom earlier, he realized that the toxins were removed.

Every organ in the body seemed to be radiating and it was as if they hadn’t been poisoned before.

However, Lin Fan did a test and realized that it wasn’t going to last forever. The toxins would slowly accumulate in his body again but he could remove them when they reached a certain level.

“I didn’t eat anything. I just scrubbed as usual and that’s how it improved. You guys won’t be able to learn it,” Lin Fan smiled.

Fraud Tian came over, “Why not you help me to scrub too?”

Lin Fan rolled his eyes, “Get lost. I’d rather kill myself than scrub for you.”

Fraud Tian was saddened, “You’re discriminating against me…”

Wu You Lan was doubtful of what he said. “Brother Lin, did you not tell us about something? Why do you look so happy today?”

“Haha,” Lin Fan smiled. “Yeah, I have a piece of good news but it’s a secret.”

“You should share the good news. It’s not good to keep it to yourself,” Wu You Lan said.

Lin Fan shook his head and sat in his chair. “If I were to tell you, you guys wouldn’t believe me. Therefore, I’m not going to say it. Alright, carry on with work. I have to think about something.”

They were all curious about what had happened but they couldn’t do anything to make him speak. Fraud Tian wanted to uncover his secrets and he kept observing Lin Fan.

He took a pen and paper.

Lin Fan sat there and wrote on the papers.

The long living seed, morning egg, and baiziren…

‘The long living seed’ was definitely a walnut.

And the morning egg was the chicken egg.

Some of the ingredients could be bought in a Chinese medical hall. However, he didn’t understand the other ingredients.

Fiery Mountain Flower.

A Snowy Decade.

Xingmunao.

And others…

It was getting out of hand. The names were weird and he couldn’t find anything related to them. It looked like it was going to be difficult to find these ingredients.

The medical ingredients were difficult to determine. However, Lin Fan wasn’t going to give up so easily. Even if he couldn’t find the exact ingredient, he would use another one to replace it.

Although it might cause different effects, as long as the medical ingredients had similar effects, it wouldn’t differ too much.

He was planning to head to a Chinese medical hall later to look for ingredients that could replace some of them.

If he could really create the Little Intelligence pill, how should he use it?

He needed to think about it carefully.

It was a crazy but happy thought.

Then, a voice came from outside.

“Little Boss, scallion pancakes.”

Lin Fan was stunned. Unknowingly, the townsfolk had gathered outside his shop. He had escaped the morning crowd but he couldn’t avoid the afternoon one.

He had no other choice.
