Chapter 56: The Powerful Elixir (Part 1)
Once he gave Ruby the address, Finn sat in the backseat with his eyes closed to rest. Contrary to appearances, he was quite observant. Although his eyes were closed, he could tell that Ruby had glanced at him at least a dozen times in the rearview mirror. And those were just the ones he noticed; there must have been more instances that he wasn’t aware of.
When they arrived at his house, Ruby was surprised to see where Finn lived. Not that the place was too luxurious, it was just different from what she had imagined. She had expected him to live in at least a villa. Interestingly, it was indeed a villa, and the decor and architectural style were second to none.
But it was surprising to see that he lived in such a neighborhood. Once inside, Finn gave Ruby the newly updated elevator and room passcodes. It was funny that though the elevator had an exclusive password, Finn’s house was only separated from the next door neighbor’s by a waist-high wall. What was the point of having a unique elevator password?
Each house had its dedicated elevator. But, after reaching their floor, one simply had to step across to visit the neighbor. Inside the house, Ruby was a little stunned. The place was luxurious, filled with a futuristic decor style. It was no exaggeration to say that it felt like stepping into the future.
The appliances were all high-tech, which were usually unattainable for ordinary people.
“Master, will you stay here frequently?” Once inside, Ruby immediately fetched a pair of slippers from the entrance for Finn to change and asked him.
“Certainly. I am studying at F University, and it’s so close from here. I will definitely stay here for most of the time.” Finn nodded.
Ruby now realized why Finn had chosen to live here. Unexpectedly, Finn was a student at F University, so it meant he was almost the same age as her! At this thought, Ruby’s eyes gleamed even brighter.
“I’m going to take a shower and sleep. Don’t disturb me unless it’s urgent. Also, go to the sales office in the residential complex and help me complete some paperwork. I bought five parking spaces, but the paperwork for four is still pending.” After some thought, Finn instructed Ruby.
Upon hearing that Finn was about to take a shower, Ruby’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. However, she felt a little disappointed when he gave her tasks to do.
“Oh and here’s a phone number. It’s for the finance department. Just ask for Zero. If you need any money, ask him to transfer it directly to you. If he asks who you are, just tell him you’re my personal assistant. I’ve already given him your number.” Finn seemed to think of something and handed Ruby a number.
There would be many times in the future when she would need to handle things on her own, so Finn didn’t want to mediate transfers from Zero. He directly gave her a number that Zero could be reached at. As to whether or not to transfer the money, Zero would use his judgment. Finn was not worried about it.
“I understand.” Ruby nodded, though she found it a bit odd. Was Zero a woman? Or did she have the surname ‘Lin’? But as Finn didn’t elaborate, she didn’t ask either.
After delegating tasks to Ruby, Finn headed for the master bath on the second floor. The villa was fitted with top-tier insulation materials, so there was excellent sound -proofing. Also, Ruby wouldn’t dare to randomly wander around without Finn’s permission.
He fetched two bottles of strength elixir that he had exchanged previously from their hiding place. Then he entered the bathroom and couldn’t wait to ask, “Quick, exchange my points for two bottles of Agility Elixir and two bottles of Intelligence Elixir.”
“Exchange completed.” Zero’s voice was heard almost instantly.
“Where is it?” Finn was taken aback. He couldn’t see the exchange items.
“Outside.”
Finn found it odd, but he saw no problem and went back inside the room. He found four bottles of elixir on the table—two blue and two green. The green ones were Agility Elixir and the blue ones were Intelligence Elixir. He had mixed feelings when he saw these potions, he blamed Zero for his impulsive decision to exchange two elixirs at once.
Just like that, 400 points disappeared. Along with the 200 that were conned out of him before, it was a total of 600 points. Regardless, now that they’re here,
Finn wouldn’t waste these elixirs.
“Can I drink it straight away?” Finn asked, pointing at the elixirs.
“Yes, you can drink all six bottles in one go,” replied Zero in a matter-of-fact tone.
Finn thought for a while, then decided to completely undress. He entered the bathroom naked, opened all the bottles, and downed them all at once.
The elixirs didn’t even have that much volume. Drinking them all amounted to about a third of a bottle of mineral water. After drinking, Finn was a bit nervous. Unsure of what effects the elixirs would have. But very soon, he got his answer.
Firstly, he started to feel warm inside. Then, it felt like ants were crawling on his every muscle. His muscles seemed to move uncontrollably. Though it wasn’t unbearably uncomfortable, there was a slight sense of swelling. As this feeling intensified, Finn became unstable on his feet.
Finn decided to lie down in the vast bathtub. As the hot waves raged on, Finn started to feel dizzy, as if he had too much to drink. Then, an indescribable sensation washed over him. His mind felt increasingly hazy.
Just when Finn thought he would doze off, all sensations vanished, and he soon regained consciousness. When he opened his eyes, he was taken aback by what he saw—a layer of yellow, greasy substance, like fat, coated his body and there was an awful smell in his nose.
He couldn’t define the smell, but it definitely wasn’t pleasant. Finn quickly turned on the faucet, not caring that it was spewing cold water, he just focused on washing himself. After he had cleaned all the yellow stuff off, he looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror.
He was stunned at what he saw. He noticed drastic changes in his body. Initially, he was too focused on the filth on his body to pay attention to changes in his physique. Now, looking at his reflection, he didn’t know if he should be horrified or in awe.
Even he could see the newfound beauty in his own body—the muscular lines were simply rhythmic. Before this, Finn was neither fat nor skinny, and being muscular was entirely unrelated to him. One probably could only spot his bicep when he flexed.
But now, he finally had the eight pack abs that he had coveted for so long, and they were significantly visible! Not to mention the chest muscles and the ones on his arms—even at rest, the angles of those muscles were clearly defined.
“Holy shit!” After staring at the mirror for a while, Finn couldn’t help but curse in astonishment..
