Farming Games are All About Grinding

Han Qiwu picked up the potion bottle and examined its attributes.

[Freezing Potion (Silver Star Quality☆☆☆)]

[Effect: Upon consumption, freezes personal buffs for three hours or freezes debuffs on enemies for three hours]

[Cooldown after consumption: Five days]

[Remark: Keep your status frozen anytime!]

The effects of the Freezing Potion matched exactly what was described in the recipe, with a freezing duration of up to three hours.

"Three hours for Silver Star quality; Golden Star quality must have an even longer freezing duration," Han Qiwu nodded in satisfaction. For a first attempt, producing Silver Star quality was already pretty good.

As for how to utilize the potion's effect, he had already planned it out.

"Sister Jin Tu, the Freezing Potion is ready! But I also want to craft a Strength Potion." Han Qiwu walked out of the potion crafting room to inform Jin Tu and the others, then returned to his room, using spinach to craft another Strength Potion.

The cooldown for using the Strength Potion was five days, which had already passed.

Twenty minutes later, Han Qiwu successfully crafted another Silver Star Quality☆☆ Strength Potion, with effects slightly better than the previous one.

Practice truly makes perfect.

Staring at the two bottles of potions in front of him, Han Qiwu pulled out some White Grass Root Water that he had boiled earlier that morning. The liquid was a pale yellow, mixed with crushed fresh White Grass Root fragments.

[White Grass Root Water]

[Stamina +5]

[HP +5]

[Special Effect - Fire Resistance: Drinking 200ml grants +10 fire resistance for five minutes]

[Remark: Drink White Grass Root Water regularly]

He had already checked the attributes of the White Grass Root Water when he brewed it.

The fire resistance special effect was indeed great—+10 fire resistance.

But frankly, the required drinking volume was overwhelming.

If you wanted to maintain the effect consistently, you'd have to drink 1.2 liters every half hour.

Forget whether the stomach could handle it; even the kidneys would likely tap out.

With everything prepared, Han Qiwu first chugged the Strength Potion in one go.

Ugh, still as nasty as ever.

[You consumed a Strength Potion. For the next ten minutes, strength greatly increased: Attack +55, Critical Rate increased to 60%.]

As soon as the effect notification popped up, Han Qiwu grabbed the White Grass Root Water and began gulping it down.

Ah, the taste was still delightful.

The White Grass Root Water was sweet and refreshing, and even the crunchy fresh White Grass Root fragments added a pleasant sweetness—far superior to any you could find in the wild.

[You drank White Grass Root Water. For the next five minutes, Fire Resistance +10.]

After seeing the system notification pop up, Han Qiwu set the White Grass Root Water down and picked up the Freezing Potion, pouring it into his mouth.

For some reason, as soon as the icy mixture entered his mouth, Han Qiwu instinctively began to chew.

"Crunch, crunch."

The flavor turned out to be surprisingly good.

The texture of the Ice Mushroom was delightfully bouncy—retaining its elasticity even as crushed flakes—and the Pine Nut aroma was rich and savory. Add in the refreshing hint of Mint, and after finishing the potion vial, Han Qiwu found himself somewhat craving more.

This stuff is way too delicious!

[You consumed the Freezing Potion. Current buff status frozen for 3 hours.]

Done!

With a stack of bonuses, Han Qiwu's current Fire Resistance soared to 50 (Sea Elf) +10 (White Grass Root Water) +10 (Lava Leggings) = 70 points.

"This should be fine now, right?" Han Qiwu, full of confidence, eagerly stepped out of the crafting room, aiming to make the most of the next three hours to head toward the lava mines.

With only three hours, there was no time to waste!

As he exited the crafting room, he ran into Sister Jin Tu, who was holding a circular wheel in her hand. She smiled and asked Han Qiwu, "All set? How's the effect?"

"Not bad! But if the cooldown period for the Freezing Potion could be shorter, like taking it daily, that'd be even better," Han Qiwu shamelessly added.

Sister Jin Tu laughed heartily: "The advanced version of the Freezing Potion is called the Icebound Potion, which is way better. But that's beyond your current skill level—keep practicing. Drop by here often to craft potions; even if you can't use them right away, crafting is good practice."

Han Qiwu scratched his head bashfully; indeed, all of his potions so far had been crafted for immediate use, with little thought to honing his skills.

No choice—life's just too hectic, you know!

Sister Jin Tu, amused by his awkwardness, handed the circular object over to Han Qiwu with a grin. "My shoes are ready. Tell me what you think."

Han Qiwu: "?????"

What is this???

If Sister Jin Tu hadn't explained, he'd have thought the wheel was some sort of potion accessory.

At that moment, Egger walked over holding another circular wheel, just like Sister Jin Tu's. Seeing Han Qiwu's puzzled look, Egger grinned smugly. "Don't be surprised! We carefully picked these mobility tools for you. Don't tell me you've never dreamed of riding on Wind Fire Wheels like Nezha?!"

"Nezha? Wind Fire Wheels?" Han Qiwu repeated in confusion before finally realizing—Nezha was the dialect version of 'Nezha.'

Honestly, yes, he'd always wanted to ride Wind Fire Wheels.

Who wouldn't, after watching the Nezha legend as kids?

But this guy hadn't even tried skateboarding before.

Going straight to Wind Fire Wheels?

Better check out the attributes first.

Han Qiwu took the wheel from Sister Jin Tu and began inspecting it.

[Wind Wheel]

[Crafted by: Jin Tu]

[Level: 85]

[Bonus Fire Resistance +20%]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Special Effect - Wind Feeds Fire: Movement speed bonus proportional to surrounding temperature, max speed +50]

[Remark: Spin spin spin!]

The attributes are pretty intriguing.

The fire resistance bonus actually reflects as additional fire resistance.

And it's a solid 20%.

If equipped right now, the Wind Wheel could boost his fire resistance by an additional 70×20%=14 points.

That's a great bonus!

Especially considering this was only half an equipment piece.

The special effect "Wind Feeds Fire" was also excellent—the movement speed bonus is calculated based on temperature.

And in the lava mines, would surrounding temperature ever be low?

Honestly, Han Qiwu felt touched.

This equipment seemed tailor-made for him; both the fire resistance and movement speed enhancements were crucial attributes for his needs!

"Thank you, Sister Jin Tu," Han Qiwu bowed deeply in gratitude after reviewing the attributes.

Sister Jin Tu waved her hand with a smile: "Don't rush to thank me yet. Have you noticed the Wind Wheel's hidden attributes? Take a closer look."

Han Qiwu scanned the attributes again but couldn't help wondering aloud, "Hidden attributes? Do they require something to unlock?"

Egger couldn't hold his excitement anymore.

This punk! Hurry up and admire the masterpiece crafted by the mighty Egger!

With a glance at his wife's expression, Egger quickly chimed in: "The Wind Wheel is a mobility tool and doesn't interfere with your ability to wear shoes. Its attributes are completely additional. Of course, if you prefer to step on it barefoot, that's fine too—it won't hurt you."

"So I can wear the Wind Wheel and still wear shoes?? Double bonus effects???"

Han Qiwu was stunned!
