Apocalypse: Everyone Levels Up, I Return to the Time Before the Server Opened-Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Injecting the Mysterious Potion!

In the afternoon, Ye Qiu had finally managed to buy all the medicines he needed — things like isotonic regulators, solubilizers, human hemoglobin, and so on.

These were all items he had learned about from that old Mr. Xin in the game.

After politely declining Uncle Su’s invitation, Ye Qiu returned home. Then he immediately began preparing the IV drip.

“Hope this works!” he muttered to himself.

Although he kept his expectations low, throughout the entire process he was filled with anticipation and silent prayers.

As for the effects of demon bloodlines or demon inheritances, Ye Qiu wasn’t exactly sure whether they were powerful, whether they could increase strength. He honestly had no idea.

But when it came to the species of “demons,” Ye Qiu knew them all too well.

Demons were divided into Outer Demons and Native Demons. Yet in truth, both shared the same ancestral bloodline and system.

And demons were terrifyingly strong.

In the early stages of Version 3.0, before the Old Gods descended, demons held absolute dominance.

They shrouded the entire Trial City in terror and despair!

Even after the Old Gods descended, demons still had their final moment of brilliance: they slew gods.

Yes, during that time, humanity was on the fringe, completely unable to participate in the storyline.

Whether player or NPC, everyone was simply too weak!

Meanwhile, the demons could still go toe-to-toe with the Old Gods and Evil Gods!

Finally, Ye Qiu finished preparing the IV.

He took out the “Mysterious Potion,” drew all the liquid into a syringe, and injected it into the IV bag.

Setting up a coat hanger as a makeshift IV stand, he inserted the rubber tubing.

“Uh... I think I don’t know how to insert the needle?”

When it came to the final step — actually injecting the IV — Ye Qiu froze.

He had alcohol, cotton swabs, a needle... everything was ready.

All that was left was actually sticking the needle in, but he didn’t know how!

Just then…

Knock, knock, knock!

From outside, there came the sound of knocking.

Ye Qiu walked over to the door and peered through the crack and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing gracefully outside.

“Su Xintong?!” Ye Qiu was stunned.

Why is she at my house?

Seeing her again, Ye Qiu felt a little dazed.

After all, in his past life, the first time he saw someone die, and die right in front of him, it was Su Xintong.

A giant hornet’s stinger had pierced her delicate body.

Her beautiful eyes had remained open, filled with terror, despair, and pain...

In the end, it was Ye Qiu who had braved his fear to collect her body, dress her properly, and give her a bit of dignity.

Most of the other students had already fled or died.

That day, many parents came to the school to claim their children’s bodies.

Some classmates, however, remained unclaimed.

Since that day, the world had completely fallen into chaos and changed forever.

“Ye Qiu!” Su Xintong was still knocking.

“I know you’re home! If you don’t open up, I’ll tell the teacher!” She threatened to use her ultimate move.

In the past, whenever students refused to listen, Su Xintong would threaten to tell teachers or parents. It worked surprisingly well.

Although she knew this method seemed a little lame, sometimes there was just no other choice.

At first, she had tried reasoning patiently, but some classmates would just bully her, taking advantage of her being a pretty, seemingly weak girl.

In the end, her father had advised her:

“Don’t worry about what others say. If you can’t control them, go straight to the teacher or their parents! If that doesn’t work, just let it go. It’s not your problem!”

Following her father’s advice, Su Xintong became an increasingly capable class monitor.

Creak!

At this moment, the door opened.

The two stared at each other silently, wide-eyed.

Ye Qiu stared at Su Xintong, and she at him.

Honestly, Su Xintong didn’t know Ye Qiu very well.

It was only these past few days that she started paying attention to him, after hearing about his family situation, mostly out of sympathy.

Still, sympathy only went so far.

Normally, if a student was uncooperative, she would remind them two or three times and then stop caring.

After all, the college entrance exam was just around the corner. Soon, everyone would part ways.

They wouldn’t even know each other afterward. Besides, she and Ye Qiu weren’t really friends.

But yesterday, after learning that Ye Qiu had saved her father, her attitude changed.

First was gratitude.

Then, gratitude mixed with sympathy made her determined to help Ye Qiu focus on studying for the final stretch to maybe change his fate.

While examining him, Su Xintong found herself thinking, Actually, this guy is kind of handsome.

Normally, Ye Qiu kept his hair long and messy and stayed low-profile, so nobody paid him much attention.

Most only had a vague memory of his name and face.

“Can you do injections?” Ye Qiu suddenly broke the silence.

“Huh?” Su Xintong snapped out of her thoughts.

“Come in,” Ye Qiu said with an unquestionable tone as he turned and walked inside.

Su Xintong instinctively followed.

By the time she realized, she was already inside.

The room was dim, but clean. It was not unpleasant at all.

Despite his sloppy appearance, Ye Qiu clearly cared about hygiene.

Soft light filtered through the drawn curtains, casting a warm orange glow on Su Xintong’s pale skin, making her look even more delicate and youthful, like an unripe apple.

Though they were the same age, Su Xintong’s features were softer, her eyes clear, lashes long, and she carried an almost classical beauty.

“Ye...” Su Xintong began awkwardly.

It was her first time visiting a boy’s house, especially one who was alone.

Now there were two of them, it made things even more awkward!

Just as she was about to speak, Ye Qiu interrupted her, “I’m really sick. Look, the IV’s ready.”

Without giving her a chance to react, he slipped off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

“I remember you once helped a classmate get an IV in the school infirmary. Help me too?”

He had wanted to do it himself, but worried that he might miss the vein and waste the precious “Mysterious Potion.”

Su Xintong had come at just the right time.

“You… why aren’t you at the hospital?” Su Xintong asked as she walked over, puzzled.

“Don’t like hospitals,” Ye Qiu replied simply.

Su Xintong froze, suddenly understanding.

Last night, her father had mentioned something.

Years ago, after Ye Qiu’s parents had an accident, it was her father who had rushed them to the hospital. But in the end, they had still died there.

Maybe that’s why Ye Qiu hated hospitals so much.

“What illness do you have?” Su Xintong asked while preparing the needle.

Strangely enough, she didn’t even remember helping anyone with an IV before.

“Maybe just a fever,” Ye Qiu replied casually.

“Maybe?” Su Xintong was baffled.

As they talked, the needle punctured the vein on the back of Ye Qiu’s hand. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

But in the next second…

Snap!

A faint crack was heard.

Su Xintong stared in shock.

The moment the needle touched Ye Qiu’s skin, it actually broke!

Ye Qiu reacted too.

He had forgotten that with his level 20 attributes now, his body was practically invulnerable!

Quickly, he relaxed his muscles to soften his skin.

“Uh... Medical supplies these days are just poor quality,” Ye Qiu said awkwardly, grabbing a spare needle from the bedside and handing it to Su Xintong.

Luckily, he had bought extras.

“No way... Even needles have quality issues?” Su Xintong muttered blankly.

“Accidents happen. Maybe I’m just unlucky,” Ye Qiu brushed it off.

Fortunately, with the new needle, everything went smoothly.

The IV fluid began to drip into Ye Qiu’s body.

The next moment…

[Ding! You have used the “Mysterious Potion.” Your stats are changing.]

[Ding! All four base attributes +120 points.]

[Ding! Special effect triggered: Demon Inheritance Activation.]

[Current Activation Progress: 0.01%...]

[Current Activation Progress: 0.02%...]

“It... it worked?!” Ye Qiu was both shocked and thrilled.

Yet he remained nervous, terrified that the process might suddenly be interrupted.

That would be a disaster!
