Chapter 74 Swan Castle (First Update)

Yu Naixin herself remained quite calm about this suggestion.

She didn't pause her work for a moment, continuing whatever she was doing.

The preparation process for this potion is quite complicated. Even though Yu Naixin had accumulated a wealth of experience, it still took her nearly forty minutes to complete the penultimate step.

Yu Naixin stopped there.

It is impossible for the guests on the show "Heartbeat 1000%" to create any special items containing spiritual power on their own.

No matter how comprehensive Yu Naixin's theoretical knowledge is or how perfect her operational skills are, she cannot violate this rule.

If Yu Naixin completes the last step, then this bottle of ink-colored potion will truly only be usable as ink, without any other effects.

Even if this bottle of ink is full of various precious magical potion ingredients.

Therefore, Yu Naixin decided to end it here.

After gently shaking the gold crystal flask in her hand to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the reagent inside, Yu Naixin placed the flask directly on the lab bench.

“Mr. Ghost,” Yu Naixin called out, “the last step is up to you. All you need to do is add narcissic acid.”

Since she can't configure it completely herself, she might as well let the Ghost Wizard, who can configure it, do it together.

Anyway, she had already dealt with all the difficult parts before, and the last step required no technical skills whatsoever. Even a werewolf knight could do it, let alone a potion master like a ghost wizard.

Yu Naixin looked up at the ghost wizard and asked with a smile, "You should be able to recognize what kind of potion this is, right?"

The ghost wizard had already walked into the laboratory from the doorway without anyone noticing.

For the better part of an hour, the ghost wizard silently and attentively observed Yu Naixin's pharmaceutical process, unable to resist wanting to get a little closer and closer, until finally he was only a few steps away from Yu Naixin at the workbench at the deepest part of the laboratory.

The ghost wizard remained completely silent throughout, desperately trying to control himself despite his turbulent emotions.

He dared not disturb Yu Naixin, just as he dared not disturb his own fragile and beautiful dream.

With the Ghost Wizard's expertise in potions, he recognized what kind of potion it was about sixteen minutes after Yu Naixin started making it.

But he wasn't sure at all.

Because what Yu Naixin is concocting is a transformation potion that ghost wizards have been dreaming of for over a hundred years, one that would allow ghosts like him to have a real body just like ordinary humans.

From the outside world to "Heartbeat 1000%", for over a hundred years, the ghost wizard never stopped pursuing the transformation potion.

But despite exhausting all methods, he was still unable to concoct the ideal potion.

Even as a last resort, making a part of one's body a physical entity is something the Ghost Wizard cannot do.

Later, the ghost wizard became disheartened and gradually accepted the fact that he could never materialize.

However, today, the Ghost Wizard witnessed Yu Naixin creating this magic potion!

The principles behind potions that turn transparent ghosts into physical entities are all the same. Ghost wizards have countless failed attempts at this, and they also know roughly how to achieve theoretical success.

What Yu Naixin accomplished was to extract the essence and discard the dross from the countless failures of the Ghost Wizard, and finally readjust and improve them to develop a set of processes.

The principles behind it were so thorough and the methods so exquisite that the ghost wizard watched with rapt attention, feeling nothing but amazement.

Now, Yu Naixin has cleared all obstacles completely. All that's needed is for the Ghost Wizard to complete one last simple step to bring this transformation potion to fruition.

Yes, the Ghost Wizard could tell from Yu Naixin's series of actions that this potion was bound to succeed!

The ghost wizard couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Yes, I can recognize it!" His mouth trembled uncontrollably, and he could barely speak. "Th-thank you so much! Thank you!! Thank you!!!"

[Huh? Did I miss watching a few hours of the live stream again? How did it suddenly turn out like this? What kind of potion did the female guest make that could make a ghost so excited?!]

[I was just about to ask, but the female guest was so bored with her experiment that I went to browse other live streams for a while. When I came back, I heard a ghost making a sharp, explosive sound.]

[Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time... Whether it was dancing with the werewolf, having an ambiguous conversation with the elf on the tower, attacking the vampire, or now making potions for the ghost, the female guest seems to know all four of these male guests very well!]

[So I'm not the only one wondering! How can she always grasp their likes and dislikes so accurately?! Does she have some kind of special artifact that can directly scan the male guests and know everything about them?!]

[How could there possibly be such a magical artifact?! You might as well say she's using cheat codes, that would be more reasonable!]

The noise the ghost wizard made startled the werewolf knight who was monitoring him.

Having known this old nemesis for so long, the werewolf knight had never seen the ghost wizard so excited.

This was the first time he had ever heard a ghost wizard speak without any sarcastic or mocking tone!

The werewolf knight looked at the flask containing the dark potion with great surprise, scratched the back of his head, and couldn't understand what kind of magic this potion had.

Yu Naixin remained calm and pointed to the potion at the ghost wizard: "Why don't you come and try it first?"

The guests on the show were unable to successfully create the magic potion in "Heartbeat 1000%". Yu Naixin was also unable to prepare a complete transformation magic potion in the last simulation. There may be some flaws, and she may need to make adjustments.

Anyway, we have enough materials.

Whether it's the werewolf knight's revelation that "the ghost wizard deeply hates his transparent body," the notes on the ghost wizard's body, or the comprehensive related materials in this laboratory, this dungeon episode has already provided the answer to how to defeat the ghost wizard.

The materials used to make this shapeshifting potion are many of the rarest items, but the laboratory not only has them all, but also a considerable number of them.

During those nine days and nine nights of simulation, Yu Naixin conducted experiments continuously but still couldn't use up all the ingredients.

To be honest, trying to gain favor with the Ghost Wizard through this method is extremely difficult. It not only requires the learning and comprehension abilities of the show's guests, but more importantly, it requires a significant amount of time for experimental operations.

Even Yu Naixin, a guest on the show who is a genius in terms of spiritual power, had to use two simulation opportunities to race against time, and the production team had to forcibly take her out of Swan Castle before she could achieve such results.

The "Swan Castle" segment of the show only gave the guests four hours from entry to the deadline.

It's fair to say that this approach only exists in theory and is practically impossible. It would be quite difficult for the guests on the show to demonstrate some talent in potions to the Ghost Wizard through those clues and gain his favor a little.

This is consistent with the overall style and habits of the "Heartbeat 1000%" program team.

They all give you a broad framework, but nothing in terms of actual details.

That's why Yu Naixin found it strange that she had put on makeup and changed clothes to disguise herself as someone else as soon as she entered the venue; it didn't seem like something the production team would do.

Letting her enter the venue directly without having to choose her ideal male guest beforehand is what the production team would do.

Later events proved that Yu Naixin's guess was correct; the details of those disguised identities were all done by Luo Siluna.

However, Yu Naixin did not believe that things that only exist in theory cannot be realized.

She might be able to do things that other show guests can't.

Upon hearing Yu Naixin's words, the Ghost Wizard could no longer suppress his excitement and rushed forward to the lab table. He took an appropriate amount of narcissic acid with tweezers and eagerly added it into the flask.

No matter how turbulent his emotions were, the ghost wizard's hand holding the tweezers remained steady.

The transparent, crystalline narcissic acid dissolved into the dark-colored potion, producing a string of fine, dense gray bubbles, after which the entire potion calmed down.

"...It's done!!" The ghost wizard couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

Then, he hurriedly picked up the flask and, as if he wanted to swallow the whole flask, desperately poured it into his mouth.

The hood had long since fallen off due to the ghost wizard tilting his head back, exposing his entire transparent head.

Almost at the same moment the ghost wizard drank the last drop of the transformation potion, his originally transparent body, like clear water stained with ink, gradually gained color, from light to dark.

A body that was no different from that of an ordinary human being, except that it appeared excessively thin, was thus created.

There are no mirrors in Swan Castle, but the ghost wizard can stretch out his trembling hands and look down to see his own flesh-colored skin and skeleton.

An impossible miracle has been achieved.

The ghost wizard's face was already covered in tears.

"Finally..." he choked back tears, shaking violently, "Finally!!!"

"I finally have a physical form!!!"

The ghost wizard was extremely excited. He tore open his cloak, which was covered with various expensive magic arrays, so that he could see more of his physical changes.

【Holy crap! The screen went black!】

[What's wrong with Ghost?! He suddenly ripped off his clothes! And triggered the privacy mode in the live stream!]

[Holy crap, so the potion the female guest made can turn ghosts into humans?!]

[I'm so happy to see a ghost, my affection for him will definitely skyrocket!]

It seemed to be echoing the speculations in the live stream chat.

Soon, a new system notification appeared.
